youtube files to premiere project
Folks,
What is the most efficient way to download youtube videos and edit them in premiere? I need to create a mashup that will ultimately output to ntsc dv standard. I will be mixing various footage – flv, dv, divx
Ideally, I’d like a shareware or freeware solution to convert flv files, but I’d also like to know about commercial aps.
Thanks

In your case, I would just use blank footage. Nobody will notice the difference between blank footage and YouTube footage or other crap and it will make the editing a lot easier, as well as it will be significantly easier on your viewers eyes.

i’m doing a documentary on youtube, so this isn’t much of a help.
“bot for dicky” is what my dutch nanny used to say -
She was completely right, bot being leftover fish and Dicky being the cat, so to sum it up you are doing a documentary on leftovers for your cat, and the one to get these leftovers from is YouTube, to be delivered to your cat, who is not yet capable of managing the remote to switch to the right channel. Poor Dicky….
Better catch your fish yourself. Dicky will appreciate that much more.

It is of course very easy to download YouTube video, of course converting FLV into another editable format will require one of probably a million free or less than free converting apps, easily located on Google.
Or you could use screen capture software, and then just crop out the unneeded part of the screen.
As far as actually using YouTube videos in a derivative project you can ask someone else about copyrights and permissions.Mike

Which disregards the major problem of YouTube, the quality sucks and it is completely unfit for editing.

Harm, is it your habit to offer useless advice on this board? Just curious. Don’t you have more important things to do with your time?
cheers, dmcg -
No, yes. The advise is to use better material for PP or use another application like WMM if you insist on using other’s materials from YouTube. If you want to use material from others, make sure you get their written approval before using any of it and consider using material from Vimeo instead of YouTube. YouTube sucks quality wise.

This message is for Ron or Kathleen:
I wish that you would insist that Harm Millard observe the COWs usual standards of civility and helpfulness.
This thread is an example of what I have noticed in the past few years. Harm is very well informed, and almost always correct, but seems to delight in ridiculing posters he considers inferior.
I am impressed with the patience and generosity of almost all the COW “gurus”, and hate to see this atmosphere polluted.

I didn’t ask advise on legal issues. I’m well informed on those matters.
