Renaming & exporting Clips

edlittman

I'm splitting a live concert video into individual songs. How do i rename & export the individual clips that i have created by splitting each song from original video track? THX

Complete all editing and Save Project File AS, giving it a unique # or name, so as not to overwrite prior saves. Using Save Project Files (no AS) will overwrite. Then you can restore a project to the state it was in when saved. Just double-click the VPJ file (which isn't playable).

1. Place a split at the start and end of a song

2. Right-click within the split-out area and COPY

3. Click the + sign on the Sequence 1 tab above the timeline to open a new, blank sequence 2

4. Position the scrubber (red line) at the head of the track

5 Right-click in its Video Track 1 area and PASTE (insert)

Export Sequence 2, giving it a name

Delete Sequence 2 and follow the same steps for each tune

Ok Got it. Very helpful. thx!

I'm used to audio DAW's that allow exporting clips direct from original edits without copy/pasting to new area. That would be a time saver in this program.

That can be done, but it may not be quite as accurate at the split points.

1. Place the scrubber at song start

Click on the scrubber red line and drag it to the song end, to highlight the tune
Right-click in the highlighted area and Export Selected Region

Yet another approach...

1. Drag a song to the start of another clear track
Solo its audio and video tracks

3. Export

Experiment

In the future will there be a function to set markers at split points to name clips & export without manually highlighting/copying etc.? thx

Click the chevron at the top-right of the VP window and file a specific suggestion. They're read.
