Keeping individual AVI clips.

[jbaird52]

In Easy Media Creator 6 I was able to save all of the individual avi clips from my Sony Camcorder. I could edit, combine and generally have complete control over the clips from any number of sessions. In EMC 9 All of the individual scenes are combined into one clip. Trying to edit them in Cinemagic is a frustrasting experience even using Cinemagic within Video Wave. Does anyone know of a way to emulate EMC 6 in EMC9? I had EMC 6, but I discarded it when I went to Vista because of a failure in my old PC (I assumed it wouldn't work with Vista).

Forget Cinemagic. Use VideoWave instead.

I actually use Capture and capture from my Sony video camera, in 10-15 minutes segments. I bring, say 4 of them into VideoWave, and I can click on any of them, and preview them.

 

If yours is one long video clip, you can open VideoWave, then open and dock Media Selector, use the Media Selector to browse to your video, right click on it, and select Scene Detection. It will break the movie into little clips that you can review.

 

 

 

Tried the Media Selector, and I think it is just what I was looking for. Thanks a million!!!

You are welcome, and I hope it works for you. You can adjust the sensitivity, if it does not work perfect the first time that you try it.

Another thing you could try is a small, free utility call WinDV which captures video froma DV camcorder to individual files based on the timestamp on the tape. This makes it easy to edit the clips.

OK, but how do you look at individual clips in Video Wave when the capture process encapsulatrs them?
