I need Snipits from oodles of video

Post by mikemoon »

I'm participating in Video Blogging Week and shot a whole day of video.
I have some 100 clips from throughout my day.

Is there a way for me to automatically shorten all clips to a length of 2 seconds?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

AFAIK, there is no automatic way to do this. The closest way is to drop your clips into the timeline, Storyboard view will do. Then in the Duration (number) box, enter your 2 secs, which would be, 00:00:02:00, that's read as HH, MM, SS, FF (hours, minutes, seconds, frames). Of course this starts from the beginning, and places your mark-out at 2 secs. If you would want to keep the last 2 secs, you will need to do it by moving the mark-in to a point 2 secs from the end.

No automatic way, because the program will not know what 2 secs you are wanting to keep.

Yup, a couple hours later and it's almost done.

I'll post a link when completed.
