reset mark-in and mark-out

I am trying to get back to the "split by scene" after spliting and editing a video, but I get a message box saying that "You must reset the mark-in and mark-out positions to their default positions..." How do I reset them? I am trying to merge clips to make it easier to insert chapters into the video.

I have the same problem. I wonder why, after 4 years, it hasn't been answered?

Hi

Once you start to edit your video clip, remove frames either by Multi trim or the scissors, Split by Scene is disabled.

You can only use split by scene from a full clip.

"You must reset the mark-in and mark-out positions to their default positions

Means you must replace the cut removed frames.

You could of course place your full clip into the library, a new empty page may be best.
Apply split by scene to this clip, the individual clips will be placed in the library.

Thanks Trevor!

This seems like a restrictive, non-sensical requirement, but at least I know what the restriction is now.

Thanks again.

It may be too late to make it into Version 12 but after it has been released I shall start a new wish list. Perhaps you could include this as a suggestion when the new wish list is created.

I don't have a release date but I think by now they must be ironing out the last minute things.

so, how DO I use split by scene on VS SE 10? cause I just can't get it to work... I just have this one hour mpg that I want to be splitted automatically, because multi-trim video is, well, not what I want.... Can split by scene be used or is it just a button standing there?

Yes Split by Scene does work.

There are two ways to split by scene,

If you capture via firewire to DV format, then ¡¥Split by Scene¡¦ can be selected.
The scenes being captured as separate files saved to the working folder. A thumbnail / clip of each being placed in the timeline / library.

Otherwise

If you have a compatible Mpeg or Dv-Avi file then you should be able to ¡¥Split by Scene¡¦ from the timeline or library.
The resultant clips are just virtual clips placed in the library or timeline, the original video file on the hard drive is intact.
Split by Scene using this method creates virtual clips. Just like using ¡¥multi trim¡¦ or the scissors.

AFAIK The Video file has to be the correct type. A ¡¥project compatible¡¦ file, an Mpeg 2 file. A DV-Avi.

The properties of the Mpeg 2 files I use, can be used to edit the ¡¥Project Properties¡¦ That is I can match my project to the video file, if you can do that then you should be able to ¡¥Split by Scene¡¦

What are the properties if your video file???????????????????????????

my file format is mpeg 2, it has been recorded through VS 10 SE, but every time I try split by scene, I get an error to reset the mark in and mark out.....

Please view:
User Interface layout

Look for the the sub heading
Navigation panel

The Mark in/out buttons (10) set the postion and duration of the trim handles (12)

Simply drag the left trim handle to the extreme left, the right trim handle to the extreme right.

Hmmm, that didn't work for me but this did. Using VideoStudio 2022. To remove my own splits I had to double click on the thumbnail in the upper right pane. That brings up the Single Clip Trim window. That's where you move the trim points to the out extremes. Then, if that doesn't edit what is on the timeline, then drag the thumbnail for that clip to replace whatever is there on the timeline. Then you are good-to-go for split-by-scene.

Do you realize that you just resurrected a 14 year old thread?
