Using Project Manager to trim an HDV project?
Hi. I am working on an HDV project, an 80 minute movie which was captured and edited in Premiere CS3.
Now I opened it in CS5 and I want to trim all the project. The idea is to send that to FCP later (I would first create a trimmed project, then convert the files to ProRes using Encoder, export the project to Final Cut, and finally reconnect the media).
I know it’d be better to recapture everything from FCP but there is no time for that.
I read in a forum that the Project Manager in Premiere does not trim HDV mpeg files. Is this true?
Any other way to do it? Any recommendation?(I am asking this because I should start to do this as soon as I get to the computer)
Thanks,

I’m afraid you are correct. CS5 seems unable to trim mpeg. This is the same for the Black Magic SD MJEG codec also. I no longer use it for that reason – I convert to DV. I have yet to try and trim a cineform project in either SD or HD.
Unfortunately I don’t know of any third party utility that will take a PPro project and mimic the actions of the project manager.
