This is sounding WAY more complex than it needs to be. The original LONG file is intact on your harddrrive. When yuu "load" it into Premier, you are only loading a POINTER to it. Once in your project, trim it up how you need to, and save your project with the sections you are using in that project. They are only pointers to the main file anyway.
Do that with each of your projects that use different parts of the same main file. Just make sure that you save ALL your projects in the same folder as the original long clip, or AP wont have a clue where all the project pointers are pointing to. If you archive your projects on data dvd, make sure you include a copy of your main long file. OR... simply cut the section out that you need (first half hour is the birthday party, next 15 minutes is a sport event, the last 10 minutes of the cute dog tricks) and render each section back out to its own AVI file so yhat you have only the section you need for each different project. OR... just recapture with scene detect.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Uwe Soltau To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 2:25 AM Subject: Re: [AP] Capturing multiple scenes at once and clipping them to use in different projects What to do depends on when you want to re-use the clips. If you have not used scene detect you can create new individual clips of the cut up sections on the timeline by creating a "New Trimmed Project". Click > Project > Project Manager In the new Project Manager window select "Create New Trimmed Project". Premiere will now create new individual clips with individual names. If the original source file was XXX, it will name the new clips XXX_1, XXX_2 etc. You could now either keep the whole trimmed project or delete everything except the trimmed clips from the folder to which you exported the project. You must understand that you are not capturing clips into a project but somewhere onto your HDD which could obviously be the folder in which you have all the other project information. As long as you know where the clips are you can use and import them into any other project. Uwe > Thank you!
