  • Combine Clips – Joining Clips

    Posted by Glikoz on September 9, 2007 at 9:22 pm

    It must be very easy .. But two days (serious) i couldnt find an answer.. How can i combine two clips as a single clip..

    I have 16 clips on same track as sequential, I try to apply effect (changing speed of all of the clips) ..
    So very simple solution is convert 16 sequential clips to one single clip and then apply what i want .

    But there is some problem ! I couldnt combine any clips ,
    am i missing something or Its premiere’s problem ?

    (Apart from this subject ,i try to make mixed clips time to time accelerated)

    Thx for advice ..

    Create a new seqeuence, paste the clips into the new sequence, nest the new sequence back into the old, replacing the original clips. Now apply the speed changes.

    Or you could set the movie line over the clips and create a new AVI (CTL-M) of them, then import it as one clip.

    Thx for fast response..
    Yes both of them solved my problem , Steven’s solution is most appropriate for my situation thx again Steven and Lsbells ..

    But i have to say something to Adobe 🙂
    Combining (for sequantial clips) must easy as splitting..
    Its basic of editing , if you allow splitting you have to allow combining with same approach..
    Thx.

    Combining clips might create more problems than it solves. Perhaps the solution would be to allow you to “group” clips and apply effects to the group.

    I tried it first ,
    i couldnt apply effects to group ..
    It seems its not possible ..
    When you groupped item and select it effects become disabled.
    You couldnt drag drop effects to grouped clips..

    One option you could try is Nesting the clips. To do this select the clips you want to Nest and right-click, Nest (this can also be done with a single clip). This turns the clips into a single video and linked single audio track. To edit the contents double click the nested sequence and the sequence with all the correct layering etc will be within that. You can probably then apply the effects to the selected nested sequence all at once, including speed changing.

    An alternative route is to create a new sequence (File-> New-> Sequence) and import the content as usual to that sequence, then import the new sequence into the master sequence via the project panel.

    NB: This can also work with multitrack videos

    You can also find information about this at:

    Hope this helps
