Photoshop Elements :: Editing Raw Video And Saving Individual Clips
Sep 4, 2012
New to Premier Elements 10. Is there a way to save individual video clips after chopping up my raw video. Or should I be using another program? I simply want to convert a long video into shorter segments for my files and ease of future use.
I'm just testing out the new CS6 extended version and am on the trial period using a mac.
My problem is in editing the 3d objects I have imported. These were imported in 3ds format and contain numerous different elements (over 50) within the same file. All are neatly to scale and positioned correctly in relation to one another.
I need to be able to edit these individual elements within photoshop and assign different materials. I can't seem to separate these individual objects onto different layers in order to work with them further. In addition, although I can scale or move the elements, I cannot delete them without deleting the whole layer.
I have tried looking at merge 3D layers but as I only have one layer it doesn't work.How can I assign these objects to different layers without importing each element separately into photoshop (and therefore losing their scale and position)?
How do you edit the colors of the individual elements of symbols? Is there a way to do any editing once the objects have been added as a group as a symbol?
I'm having some troubles viewing all my video thumbnails.
I have different kinds of video clips in my organizer, but it's only the MOV-files that won’t show. The funny thing is, that it’s only some of the MOV-files that doesn’t show up others do!
All the video clips are recorded with an iPhone, and imported to the catalog at the same time.Even though I can’t see the thumbnail, I can still playback the video clip.
I've already tried the following:
- Repairing the catalog - Optimizing the catalog - Restoring the preferences to default settings - Renaming the "status.dat" and "psa.prf" files
My specifications:
- Installed Adobe software - Photoshop Elements 12 + Premiere Elements 12 - Catalog containing appx. 17.000 photos and 400 video clips - Windows 7 64 bit
I am using Elements 10 and do a lot of editing in slide show projects. I want to add video clips that are iin my catalog to my slide project. Every time I click on video clips it tells me I have to go to Premiere to activate. Is there a simpler way? I usually don't go to Premiere until I want to burn a disc..I don't need to edit the video clips.
I have a Canon SX30IS. When I use PSE9 to download from memory card, if there are any videos present on the card, the Photo Downloader crashes.
I believe that it is something to do with Apple Quicktime. When I uninstall Quicktime , PSE downloader does not crash while importing media form this camera, but cannot play video clips. On reinstalling Quicktime , the PSE downloader crashes while searching the memory card for media.
I have not upgraded PSE twice now because of this crash. What makes it worse is that Apple Quicktime is a very poor media player, managing about 2FPS on the video clips from this camera when both the Canon and the VLC video codecs can manage 30FPS.
I would much prefer if I could choose to use a video renderer, like using any available Windows codecs rather than insisting on using annoying Apple software.
I've been working the last 6 months with 4 GH2s and ran into some strange troubles when initially importing them to the timeline. 2 hour shots are divided into 6 or 7 different files, and when brought into PP the first clips audio was assigned to all the other remaining clips. This was pretty strange, but I fixed it by using TSmuxer. It was added time in the workflow/set up, but in the end I could produce;
The latest update of PPCC now combines the entire 2 hours of footage into each of the 7 files being imported. So it is importing 2 hours of footage 7 times for each camera. The conforming is taking forever! For 4 cameras it's conforming 14 hours of footage each, when it should literally be a 7th of that.
It is taking up large amounts of time and disk space.
Cannot preview .MPG files.VSPro5 won’t play MPG clips.
I have only ever worked with AVI files, MOV files OR Video_TS files with few problems and have recently upgraded from CVSProX4 to X5. A family member has asked me to put all his home movies onto DVD. These are in MPG format.
I can import all the individual clips into CVSProX5 – however, the clips will only play when they are selected as the whole project. Selecting an individual clip for editing purposes results in a green screen. However I can manually move the scrubber through every frame within that clip (with an absence of sound) – but will not play that clip. I have converted some clips to .MOV format and can then play (and edit) and listen to individual clips.
I don’t particulary want to convert many hundreds of individual .MPG clips.
After i edit photo in elements 8 then close it,save it, it then crops itself... When i open it again about a fourth of it is gone from the bottom. What has gone wrong? It is all the photos i did (5)
Can I edit a video clip in PRE 12 and save the clip in place of the original clip, with the same file name, without going through the Project" program?
I need to know how to save an individual color channel. I am able to split the channels, but they are in gray and not color. How would I save them in color? My PS is CS5.
I have assembled a wholel lot of scanned pages from my sketch pad into one psd file. That file has guides which I use to register and align every page (each page is therefore its own layer). Is there a way I can make an action and save off each individual layer as its own jpeg? I set up an action but I don't know how to get photoshop to save it with a distinct namespace. The first action I set up basically prompted me to re-name each layer as I saved it, which isn't really saving time. What I want is for the action to start at the bottom layer and turn off the visiblity of all the layers above it, save the visible layer as a jpeg with a name based on the layer and then turn on the next layer's visibitlity and repeat, until all layers have been saved.
I need to create an animation sequence in Photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. In previous versions the length of each video layer could be extended easily. Now it appears you need to make each video layer a maximum of 5 seconds. Document settings doesn't resolve this problem. I've found out how to extend the timeline but, crucially, not the length of individual video layers beyond 5 seconds. I believe CS5 and previous versions had this enabled.
Whilst after a discussion yesterday Adobe know of and are dealing with an error when splitting video clips in PS CC ( I have a temporary fix). I have also come across another potential issue in splitting video clips - it appears that an individual clip can only be split twice. What is the theoretical number of times PS CC will allow a clip to be split?
I am working on a video piece and I need to mask out a moving figure throughout the entire video, what is the best way to to this? I know that I can import the video frames to layers in CS3 and then create a mask on each frame, but there are thousands of frames - and when I render the video from the animation it is slow to run in quicktime. Even if I were able to edit each frame, it seems like there should be a better way.
is it possible to edit the individual layers of an image after the layers have been compressed and the image saved? If so, where do I find the instructions for that?
I recently made some frames for an animate gif with PDN, and all the frames are in layers on one PDN file. Is there any way to mass save the layers as separate gifs? The PDN file consists of 100+ layers, and I want to avoid flattening, saving, and undoing X 100 :shock:
When I am editing clips and play them, the first second plays, then the vision freezes. The control bar continues across the program and the sound continues, only the picture freezes. Thus I can't judge where to cut.
This is a new computer: Windows 8 Pro X64, Gigabyte EP45 DS3 M'board, 2.85 Intel Quad core with 2GB Hard drive, 8GB RAM, VidStudio X5.
The video was taken on my Canon XA10 HD camcorder. HD footage internally copied to Standard Play on 32GB SanDisk Extreme card and input to computer via card reader and USB2 (front of computer).
On my old Win7 computer I had some problem with jerkiness in the final product, but it was tolerable.
This however, is not.
I have downloaded X5 Patch 1. Video is MPEG2, 24 bits, 720 x 576, 25fps, variable frame rate. PAL system
I'm using CS6 13.0.4 x64. I want to create a very basic slideshow that includes both still images and video clips. I have read this is possible but can find no specifics.
i an having trouble accessing this function. I have CS6 (windows) and i can't access the 'speed/duration sliders' to slow down my clip to look like its in slow motion. I know this can be done
My question: I prefer to shoot my videos in 720p, to optimally match my TV. I see that in VideoStudio, the only 720p option is by using HDV. Is there any other way to get 1280x720 output? I see that AVCHD and Blu-Ray only offers 1980 and 1440 options, both which resize my videos (which I do not want). I'd like to save back as 1280x720 MP4, but VS's MP4 option doesn't provide this.
(Now that I think about it, why does VideoStudio offer 1440 rather than 1280? I thought 1920x1080 and 1280x720 were the common HD formats.)
I am completing a 52-minute program, with 20 short sequences shot in ProRes 422 (50 Mbps) and saved to MXF OP1a files. The package looks good when output to Blu-Ray, but I will need to output for broadcast, and the broadcaster prefers MXF deliberables. My Question: Is there any significant loss of quality by saving 20 MXF files (with dozens of ProRes clips) to a final MXF container?
Taken video clips with that camera? It uses mpg4 ACE (which is not a codec known to VideoStudio) and my PC tells me that the clips come at 30.05 fps. What can I do now? Why the clips aren't 29.97 fps?
I want to use Video Studio X4 mostly for keeping track of all my video clips. So I want to import a lot of short clips into Video Studio, view them, and rename the ones that I want to keep (with a better name than the one the camera gives), and I want to delete (from my hard drive) the clips that I do not need.
1. How do I delete a clip in Video Studio X4 (not just the thumbnail)?
2. How to I rename a video clip that I am watching?
I just started using videostudio prox5 and Im having a hard time figuring out how to do this. Basically I have dvds of football games for minor league football, how do I go about using prox5 to extract certain parts from the dvd that I have? I tried importing from media from the dvd drive and it imports the video but how do I go about extracting parts of the video and save it to my computer so I can go back and create a highlight video of all the extracted clips?
