Split video post-processing

[Gyldenglad]

Hello,

I often work in big files, such as 200 GB size files that usually contains 4-5 hours of recording. I make webseries and require my videos to by like 15-20 minutes long. So far I've been taking these huge files, cropping them down to length and then waiting the compress, however this is a very bad method and very time consuming, because after I crop a video that fits the 15-20 minutes limit, I have to wait for it to compress completely before I can continue to work on the next one, which basically means, that even though it takes like 5-10 minutes to edit a video it takes more like an hour per episode because I need to stop and wait before I can work on the next episode. Is there a way to queue up a ton of pre-edited projects and then make it all compress to seperate video files during the night or something? It would really save me a lot of effort.

Thanks

Hello
And welcome to the forums........

First I am surprised that the render takes that long, I assume you are rendering like for like and not changing the video properties.
Can you give details of your video files properties and what you are converting to?

Have you tried File – Save Trimmed Video option…….
That should render using the original properties and be relatively quick.

OK
If you were to create separate VSP/Project, each containing one video file.
You can then use File - Batch Convert to add all VSP’s, this will create a separate video file for each project. It will of course take a little time to create the new VSP files.

The Batch Convert render settings require inputting manually.
You do not give any details of your video properties.

Thanks for your reply,

I'm recording 720p 30 fps with fraps, and the files are generally about 1-2 GB per minute. My computer is kinda busy doing a lot of stuff while rendering so it takes time.

The batch conversion was just what I was looking for. Cheers!
