adobe premiere pro 2: splitting video without quality loss
Hi,
I’ve just started using Adobe Premiere Pro V2. What I need to do is split a video in different parts. I’ve got a long video (wmv format) which I import into a new project. Then I cut almost the whole video except for 30 secs of video. Now I’d like to save this small part of the original video as a new wmv file.
Currently I do this by exporting the video to the adobe media encoder. Here I select ‘WM9 NTSC 1024 K Download’ profile and then I encode my new wmv file. However the quality is significantly lower than the source file.
I’ve been experimenting with some options like onepass/twopass encoding, image quality, max bitrate and so on. However I can’t seem to get it right. Is there a way to make smaller clips of my source video without losing significant quality??
Is there a better way then reencoding using the media encoder or do I need to alter the settings in the media encoder?

I think the best solution for you is to export using Microsoft DV Codec. This will keep the same quality.
If you need to reduce file size without quality loss, try to use Sorenson Squeeze from https://www.sorensonmedia.com/ it’s perfect for video compression with the lowest quality loss, from any format to any format. -
If you absolutely want NO loss in quality (and don’t mind the large file size) you can use the Quicktime Animation codec … it is a lossless compression scheme and works quite well.

Click the timeline and then just press Ctrl+M and export you video file. The standard configuration will do all the job for you, just spicify the folder and the name of the file. That’s the easiest way to keep video quality.

A utility that ships with Windows Media Encoder 9 (free from MS) is the File Editor which will allow you to split .wmv files without recompression.
