After I capture my digital video, I bring it in to video wave to edit it. After I split the video in several pieces, I may want to save one or more of those split clips back to my hard drive to use in an entirely different production. How do I do that? In the audio sections of EMC8, you can export the edited audio clip back to your hard drive to save. In video wave, you can cut one of those edited clips but I can't paste it back to my hard drive - but I can paste it to a new production. But I just want to save it to use later without starting a new production. Can anybody help me on this?
Thanks,
Craig

That's the way it's done. I've never heard of ANY application that 'paste' a file to the hard drive. Once you paste the clip to a new production, you then OUTPUT TO FILE to 'save' it to the hard drive.

Actually, i'm not sure how I got it working, but at one point in time on my PC, I COULD paste clips to my hard drive. The ability to do this was only temporary, and it went away after a while, but i'm not sure why. I had a project I was working with in MSPaint, and I had a copy of part of it in the copy buffer. I went outside of paint, and hit ctrl+c over a file to move it, and I musta screwed up or some'n because when I pasted it (ctrl+v), it pasted the partial paint picture.

I managed to reproduce this with part of a notepad document as well. (By "reproduce", I mean it was accidental in that situation as well ).

But when I actually want to do it, I can't seem to...

Just thought I would throw that out there. There is no way that I know of to replicate this into videowave -- so just use the suggestion of removing all parts of the file you don't want, and then outputting the remainder as a video.

Sounds more like you were using Explorer to 'copy' a file to the clipboard and then your intention was to paste it back to another location. This I could probably work because Explorer is the application doing the copy/paste.

However copying something from WITHIN another application and then trying to paste using Explorer I don't think would ever work.

Load Notepad. Type a fews words. Select all and copy to clipboard.
Try pasting that to the desktop or to the hard drive in Explorer. Paste just isn't available.
