Making clips??

[Lorensschoolofart]

I've gotten so used to using clips, the clips I collected off my Final Fantasy disc's, the clips that movie maker made back when I used to use it. That when I try making an AMV from hours of anime footage I find that I simply can't do it, my software slows down and I find it overall difficult to handle. Does anyone know anyway I can get around this. I thought about perhaps getting software that can cut the clips for me or something, but I wouldn't know what or where to get one. Any idea's or solutions?

well... since you didn't mention what your new software is that's going to make things kind of hard.

In premiere, I usually just drop the whole episode into the preview panel and scrub to the parts that I want, clip and pull them onto the timeline.
Alternatively you could use Virtualdub to mark and save separate sections and use those as a clip pile.

i clip out all of the shit i don't need in VDM, then scrub through the preview window for what i need. make the in and out markers, then put it on the time line.
but ya, VDM has job control. you can make your own clips.

I'll try VDM to make clips with then, thank you. Also, how do you do dubbing in VDM?

If you are talking about addind audio to a clip like you would when you do your final AMV encode, you go to streams -> stream list -> add.

For dubbing in general. VDM considers your playing of a video in the program itself to be dubbing. You can't record your voice into VDM directly and make it like an anime dub if that is what you are asking (not sure so covering all bases). You need a seperate program to record your voice in a mic and then convert that to a audio container like WAV or MP3. But much easier to do in a video editor. I wouldn't try it, though. Unless you are REALLY BORED.
