Quality Question: Chopping a larger file to make several small ones
I was rushed to capture a mini-DV tape before I handed it off to my partner, who lives 8 hours away. So I didn’t get the chance to individually capture the takes I wanted.
Instead I captured the whole tape. Now I have a huge, long file which I don’t want in it’s entirety. Instead I want to pull a few takes that worked and trash the rest of the file.
Question: Is there a way to create smaller files from the main one without losing quality?
I’ve been having a good deal of trouble getting this question answered, sorry if this post seems redundant and thanks for any help you might offer.

Its more than redundant, its identical.
Wasn’t this same question answered earlier today (for YOU?)

I, more than anyone, never want to sound redundant or ask the same question twice, but sometimes simple answers without an explanation leave me thinking that there’s something left out.
I’m not trying to waste anyone’s time, I appreciate all the help COW has provided, and I wouldn’t want to abuse that privilege.
So when I ask again, and it seems identical, maybe there was something left out the first time I asked, maybe I wanted some clarification, perhaps I felt my first question was worded the wrong way and my question wasn’t really answered (BTW: The two posts weren’t identical). After all, this issue had to do with editing my master clips.
I don’t like feeling like I have to defend myself, I’m not looking for an argument or to fight anyone, I’m just here trying to learn, you know? And to be honest, it’s kinda insulting for you to take the time to post telling me that I’m being, basically, stupid, instead of just trying to help me out.
It would be more helpful to have some compassion towards my ignorance and maybe some understanding for why I might ask a similar question twice in the same day.
So that’s that man, I really don’t like that I had to even post this reply, overall, you made me feel rotten and unwelcome on this form.
Sincerely,
Will Keir
