Trimming Video files
When I capture from tape I normally select only the files I need for the project which is time consuming in itself. Here is the question.
Is their a way (or program) to allow me to capture an entire hour of HDV footage from tape as one file, use the sections I want in the timeline then save those pieces as separate files so I can dump the original hour long file? This would be sweet!
I know I can manually save each clip separately as a new file but I was looking for something a lot more streamlined than having to manually save 300 individual files.

Can you not use project manager within Adobe premiere?
That is what it is for.
Also why don’t you use Scene detect to have your tape run and cut your project in to smaller clips?
You can always capture the entire tape and then use project manager to archive

As you have already captured the tape, download HDV split and let this little free apps cut up your long footage into clips (scene detect).
In the Bridge you can view these clips and decide which ones you want to keep and which ones you want to delete from your HDD.
Keep the original until you finished the project, just in case .Dan: there is no scene detection possible while capturing HDV.
Neither is there a preview. -
Hey this could be the answer! Is it able to split one long file that has already been down loaded or do I need to capture it through the app?

It can do either, capture splitting each scene into a separate file, and scene split an existing file into separate scene files.

Great thanks!

If you do scene detection on a fresh capture it will take an hour.
Scene detection on a excisting file will be much faster.
