Packaging a PR project with long video source files

I have a 15s video that sources several long 4k video and wondering how to hand off this project where the source footage can be “clipped” and saved only that portion, instead of packaging all source files that are roughly 20min each… looking to save file size and transfer time for the Copied folder….

    Correct answer R Neil Haugen

    IF those are all-iframe media files, I think the Project Manager can do that. BUT ... if they are long-GOP H.264/5 files, it will not cut, only send the entire file.

     

    If that’s the case, you would need to make transcodes of the short segments used ... probably with some handles, typiclly 15-30 frames each side.
