How to cut video

[Pete Mulder]

I have a similar question and I am also new to Adobe Premiere Pro: I have a 3 minute clip that I dragged into Premiere. However I am using only 30 seconds of this clip on the timeline. I want to edit just that 30 second part of the clip in Photoshop CS6 to so some lens distortion correction but when I attempt to do so I am forced to choose the entire 3 clip in Bridge in order for it to be worked on in PS. I realize that the non-destructive nature of the program is a virtue but how do I work on ONLY that 30 second portion, or perhaps I should be asking; how do I save just the 30 second portion from the timeline as a stand-alone 30 second clip that I can work on in PS without having to work on the original clip in its entirety?

I figured it out: From within PS there are are these little clip adjusting brackets beneath the image that allow you to choose just the portion of the clip you want to put the effect on. After you do this and render and save the clip, it saves a new clip at that adjusted length but be sure to do “save as” with a new file name or you will screw up your original clip. Its a great option.

Here’s how to do it:

It’s called LIFTING. ‘lifting’ the marked segment out of the rest of it. Then just shove the rest of the video on the right next to the video on the left to close the gap.
