How can I copy sections of a clip from one sequence to another?

Copy link to clipboard

Copied

I have a long sequence (about an hour), composed of about 8 long clips taken at an event. They're assembled in chronological sequence and synced to a master audio track.

 

I want to grab sections of these clips to create a short (90 second) video. Is it possible to select small chunks of the long clips to place in a new sequence (most don't need the audio, but some do)? I tried double-clicking a clip in the timeline, then setting In and Out points in the Source panel. Then dragging just that portion to the new sequence. That royally screws up the long video because it then shows only the In/Out-defined segment there.

How the heck do I do this? Do I need to use the razor tool and cut the long clips up? That sounds kind of messy. What's the best/simplest approach here? 

Thank you!

How about good 'ole COPY & PASTE? Command+C & Command+V from on sequence to another. thats Pretty easy!

Or you can right click the clips that you want and select "Make Subsequence" and then put all those clips together. 
Or, you can just export the video that you have -- then import that FULL video into Premiere, and use the Razor tool (C) to cut out the parts you dont want, or to keep the parts you do. 

Or you can just duplicate the sequence, and edit out the parts you don't want.

Hope this helps!

Sounds like you'd want some basic training. You might look into Assembly mode. The keyboard shortcuts Q and W will be your friends. You can drop the first long clip into to the new timeline. then go to the Inpoint of that you want and press Q, it will take you back to the beginning of the timeline with that part at your playhead at the top. Go to the point where you want that to stop. Cut/razor the clip. Mov your playhead forward to where you want the next cut to start. Press Q, you will be taken to the prior outpoint, and your clip will be set to start right where you are... Etc.

After you do your cuts, select all the desired clips, right click, and select Nest.  They will be placed in a new sequence for you.

Okay, so the solution seems to be to duplicate the long sequence and cut out the parts I don't want. That seemed clunky to me but in fact I suppose there's no difference between that and cutting out chunks in the master sequence then pasting them into the new timeline. Thanks, all.
