  • Extracting/merging .MOV-files without re-rendering

    Posted by Namn Namnsson on February 15, 2009 at 11:55 pm

    I have a Sanyo HD-cam that outputs to .MOV / h.264.

    For long movie shots, I sometimes want to extract parts of the movie and keep the quality (i.e. not re-render the movie).

    For short movie shots, I sometimes want to merge several parts and still keep the quality (i.e. not re-render).

    How can I achieve this in Premiere? Or, any application will do. Something similiar to “Direct stream copy” in the freeware VirtualDUB, but for MOV-files instead of AVI-files.

    Regards,
    Rikard

    H.264 Is a compressed delivery format. It’s not designed to be edited. To prepare the source for editing, you should decompress the video to ‘Uncompressed’ or codec ‘None’.
