Well as of right now.. Im using some Downloaded raw footage.. Dont worry dude its not even available on dvd so anything short of my flying to japan to record it off the television would not work...
So the method i have been using to get my editing footage has been to take the actual episode file and open it in virtual dub.. I then disable the audio for the eppisode and find about a minute or so of footage that i would like to use.. with the huffyuv codec of course.
I then import the video into premire and work with it as usual...
I was just wondering how everyone else did their clip preparation... maybe i can pick up some cool tips..
I was also thinking of working on about 30 seconds of footage at a time in premire.. then saving it as a actual uncompressed movie file.. then working on another 30 seconds of video.. and repeating the process till the video was done..
I would then combine my different clips into one big video for the final product..
Is that a good idea?

Close calls are always the most exciting. Coming close is always the most dissapointing.

i cant think of a reason why you would go to the trouble of doing that -James Sharp wrote:

the only benefit I can think off is not having to waste space for rendering the work area - but i wouldn't reccomend that for a fix.

Assuming you're using Premiere, the typically preferred method is to import the entire episode/movie into the bin and make In and Out points around the scenes you want in your timeline, then just drag that scene into the timeline, and edit from there. Usually making Huffyuv clips is reserved for programs like Windows Movie Maker and Magix. This is also assuming that you're using DVD footage as opposed to raws, which are generally encoded in ways that Premiere has trouble dealing with (XviD/DivX is not very Premiere-friendly). So, I'd say for what you're doing, you're probably using the best method, but I would still always recommend using the DVD's or wait for them to come out (even if you get the Japanese DVDs. They typically start getting released 3-4 months after a show airs. That's how I've done my last 3 videos).
