Extract clips/events - Can I do this with OpenShot?
I have some fully extracted/converted 8mm videos and I'd like to parse them out - extracting the various events into separate files that I can then edit/add etc. into my movies.
Does anyone know if OpenShot has a scene/clip export capability?
The only thing I seem to be able to do is open the master file, clip away all the non-relevant scenes/events and save what's left into a specific file.
Then repeat for each separate event within that master file.
Or can someone recommend another utility that can basically do "chop 'n save" piece by piece without having to reopen the master every time?
Yeah, sorry, this use case might not be great for OpenShot. If OpenShot must be used for this, I would right click on your source file (in OpenShot Project Files), choose "Split Clip...", and use that tool to find the Start/End of each interesting moment. Next, I would select all the new clipped files (minus your original video file), and choose "Add to Timeline", and that will add all the new clipped files to the timeline, one after another. Then export your timeline as a new video (which contains all those highlights). That's not great, but it will be easier than dragging and dropping each clip manually.
That's workable. Thanks for the suggestion.
