  • how to take a project and make multiple projects

    Posted by Donna Black on May 7, 2011 at 1:20 am

    Hello to all. I have a project that is about 5 minutes long and was wondering if I could take that project and split it into several smaller projects to work on. The problem is my computer is bare minimum requirements and when I get 1/4 way down on timeline working on clips, adding neat video, effects etc it will freeze. As a side note a new computer is coming in the future. Can making smaller projects out of original large project even be done? Thanks so much.

    If you make a timeline selection, then select any track header and press Ctrl+A to select All the tracks, then press Ctrl+T for Trim, your entire project will be trimmed to the timeline selection. You can then move everything to the beginning of the project since they are all selected anyway.

    Using this technique, you can split the project into multiple projects saving each one under a unique name.

    BTW, I would process any video that requires NeatVideo first. In other words, place the video into a new project, Treat it with NeatVideo and render to a new file. Then use the new file in your project. this will eliminate the overhead of having NeatVideo in your project which is probably slowing things down.

    Thank you so much. After I made this post I went into the regular sony forum and just finished reading where you told someone how you processed each clip that needed noise reduction separately then pulled those into your project. I did not understand how you did that and was on the verge of asking you until I just went back and read your reply. You somehow read my mind. It is neat video that is making things difficult but I love the end result of it. Thanks again.
