Hiya I have a 30 year collection of video files in MP4/AVI ripped from camcorder tapes. There are around 45 files containing 60-70 hours of video. The files are quite large being between 2-10gb. Each individual video file is mostly collections of family video clips from the same year (although some span a few years) My aim is to create an output in time sequence of the best clips. This will likely result in producing 5-6 videos of around an hours length...maybe more. I have a very basic understanding of Premier Pro but have not tried to use it to organise a large collection before. My initial idea was to run through all the videos individually in sequence and "cut" the best clips out saving them to local "year" directories on my PC eg 1992, 1992, 1994 etc etc A second "pass" would then be used to recombine the clips in sequence and save the final files depending on how much output I had to process eg 1992to1994.MP4, 1995to1998.MP4 etc etc I'd be grateful for any shortcuts on how to do this and whether this "Two pass" approach is the best way to do things. Also, any advice on breaking a video into clips quickly and easily would also be appreciated. I have looked at a couple of YouTube videos but one suggested "subclips" & the other "subsequences" - so ended up confusing myself. I'm sure I'm not the first person to undertake this sort of project and guess some people may have some very neat solutions. I do understand I will have many hours running through videos but am quite looking forwards to this! NB I have a reasonable powerful PC but am assuming it would not be wise (possible) to import all the videos at once into Adobe Premier? Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers to tutorials? Cheers Steve
