Large file editing, give me only one time an in and out. So I cannot use more stuff from that same file.
Hi, a strange matter here occurred.
I imported via media browser the mts files into premiere pro cs6, Now I have large files which I want to edit.
So I click on a file and give in my in and out points in the beginning of the file and of course there are more footages I want to use from that 30 minutes file. But Premiere Pro let me uses only one in and out point. If I want to get another piece of the track., it removes the first selected from the timeline.
I guess it must be a setting why I cannot take more than one piece of material out of that file.
Is anyone familiar with that problem? -

You don’t mention anything about adding the section you selected to a sequence.
You have to create a sequence and add the first section that you selected to the sequence. Then you can go back to the clip and select another section, add that to the sequence, then go back to the original clip and select another section of the clip.

You can only have one in and out point referenced within a master clip in the source panel at one time. If you’d like to cut up multiple in/out points you can either right click on the source window and create subclip or take a look at Prelude where you can easily create many virtual subclips from a master clip and send them to Premiere Pro. I’d recommend the latter workflow personally.

Thanks @Dennis Radeke .. That is the solution. I have indegst the project into Prelude. Never worked with that program before but I must say, what I did till now, I liked it. Easy to make subclips and comments. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Just a little question (I thin it is off topic but anyway) What codec is the best. I now have use PRoRess 422 LT but the files are really big. The purpose of most of the films I make is for internet use. Can I use in prelude the H.264? Do you know something about this matter? -
Codecs is always a compromise (hence codec – compression/decompression)
If ProResLT is too big and you’d like something a bit more modest, I might suggest MXF OP1a in XDCAM 35 or 50. Honestly, experiment to find out what works best for you.
H.264 is good but can be problematic with editing large projects on older systems since the compression is temporally complex.
HTH,
Dennis
