  • Out of Memory. How Cut Original Clips to Smaller

    Posted by Marty Watt on June 13, 2011 at 1:50 pm

    Adobe Premiere CS3 : compiling various clips into one video. Keep getting: ” adobe low on memory” etc sometimes: must shut down – will attempt to save.”
    Any way in CS3 to trim / cut / edit the original video (avi) that I take a small piece from? I had taken a lot of longer than usual takes; long video clips – from each, I only take a small moment. Seems I have to load the whole clip for each moment (many different long clips – from each a moment) than I trim (in CS3) to the bit I want – but still the whole clip is “carried” by the program.
    Any freeware you can think of that could cut these long clips to just what I want? How best to do that: don’t re-encode? Or re-encode how?

    Thanks for any help?

    Wow. Not a single response.

    I’m looking for the same answer. I assume it’s a pretty simple solution, but…

    I’m capturing some vhs footage. I’m not going to sit around and stare at the screen to be sure I hit “stop” when the VHS Program is over, so I inevitably end up with several (or ten) minutes of static at the end of the clip. I don’t want to waste hard drive space with 10 minutes of static, so I’d like to edit the original avi (truncate; remove that 10 minutes).

    Can I do this in Premiere without actually rendering the clip and possibly losing quality (setting new in and out points for the clip and then exporting with Adobe Media Encoder), or must I use another program?
