The main skill for working with video files is extracting a specific fragment. To carry out this process, you can use many programs, each of which has its own characteristics.
Necessary
- - Adobe Premier;
- - Virtal Dub.
Instructions
Step 1
Use VirtualDub when working with avi files. This is a free utility with the necessary set of functions. Install and run the VirtualDub program. Open the File menu and click the Import button. Select the avi file for processing.
Step 2
Wait for the video to load into the program. Find the start position of the cutout on the scroll bar. Press button 1. This is not a number on the keyboard, but a virtual button in the program window.
Step 3
Now find the end frame of the desired fragment. Move the right render bar slider to it. Press button 2.
Step 4
Open the Video tab and activate the Direct Stream Copy function by checking the box next to the item of the same name. Activate a similar parameter in the Audio tab. Go to the File menu and select the Save Segmented AVI item.
Step 5
Set the parameters for the video to be saved. Wait while the program does the required action.
Step 6
Use Adobe Premier if you need to process video in a different format. Install this application and launch it. Load the video into the working window of the program using the File and Open items.
Step 7
Click the left mouse button on the initial frame of the cut fragment. Now select the last frame by holding down the Shift key.
Step 8
Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and C. Open the second project in Adobe Premier. Paste the copied fragment into the working window. Open the File tab and click the Save As button.
Step 9
Set the parameters of the saved clip. Make no mistake when choosing the characteristics of your video. This can lead to a significant loss in the quality of the future clip.
Step 10
If you want to work with files of various extensions using VirtualDub, first convert the video to avi format. To do this, you can use various free converter programs.
