Converting one clip into two...

Hi all,

 

I'm organizing a project that was shot on 16mm film that was scanned and digitized. Kodak gave me all the footage strungout on one clip. Is there a quick way to splice each shot with it's corrolating audio and export them as their individual shots (1A, B, 2A, B, C and so on)? I'd prefer to avoid nesting each clip as well as exporting using ins and outs—I figured there's a more efficient and professional workflow.

 

Thanks for your time,

MR

 

p.s. I know syncing takes time, I'm referring solely to exporting each clip from the stringout.

I think I might understand what your trying to do...  so I will take a swing at answering it, hopefully.

If your clip from Kodak is all one big file and the audio is already part of the video....

 

Run Scene Edit Detection, and select the option to put the clips in its own Bin like this dialog shows:

 

Once this process is completed, there will be a BIN in the media area.  you can select all of the clips it put into that Bin,  the icon for these new clips looks like this:

With all the clips selected, you can then press CTRL-M which will bring up the export dialog.  you can make your typical export setting, and then export it using Media Encoder.  This will create a file for every clip as a stand alone video file, it will include the sound etc.

 

Not sure if this was exactly what you were looking for, hope it helps.

not sure why you'd nest.  Why not just create a sequence for each shot and name the sequence appropriately and then you can do a batch export by queing to Adobe Media Encoder?  Not sure it's any faster than exporting by ins and outs and not sure what makes something more "professional."
