trim cut from lots of videos
Hi everybody.
I have lots of hours from Making of & Behind the scene of big French movie prod.. Shooting was really hard during 4 months and I had no time to make some cleaning…
Now i’m in front of my drives and need a way to fast first select before starting editing process. I would like to use selected parts to be saved for edit in a new clean folder/workflow/drive. But using trim option, I can onl create sub clips wihch are linked to their mother file.
How to fast save them and without any quality loss ? ( Best would be to keep the same orginal codec/res etc…)
The only option I found is to put them on time line and selecting each as “Render to New track”
In this case, which codec and parameters to use, to reimport it in vegas without loss ? XAVC S long 3840*2160-50p for hud and XAVS hd for hd clips, etc…
I have mix of UHD 50p , UHD 25p, AVCH HD 50p, all from Panasonic cameras
(HC x1000 /vx870 / lx 100)Thanks guys to share your expertise !

If you have Vegasaur, there is now a Smart-trim option that works for some formats. It uses FFMPEG to save an exact copy (no re-rendering) of only the portions of the original footage that are defined by events on the timeline. There is an option to add frames to both the head and tail (recommended). Here is a thread on the Vegas Pro forum that may be of interest to you. https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/showmessage.asp?messageid=936903 It might be worthwhile if during the first pass, you are doing just rough cuts editing and only want to save those parts for final editing. I’d certainly give it a try to see if it works for you Panasonic footage.

Anyway for FFmepg to make it swallow mov shooting ?

works with hc x1000 UHD 50p mov… So you save my life !
I have to check with all different formats and cameras and make an info list, maybe usefull for others.
Always amazed to see that NLE don’t include at first level this utility…. -

Sounds like you’re making progress. Glad that I saved your life. It’s been pretty slow–you’re only the second one today. LOL. Glad its working. Perhaps you could post back a few details in terms of the number of frames you added at the head and tail. Before proceeding, I would still do comparisons between the original and the trimmed files just to make absolutely sure that it’s working properly and that your audio has remained in sync.
