I shot some footage (AVCHD) of many dogs at a shelter for a friend. I rendered it into a single 45 minute clip for her to select scenes which she did using the time codes. Unfortunately for me she picked 100 clips, giving me the in and out time codes. I've been away from video editing for a while and have forgotten a lot. I started to use the multi-trim function which worked well. However, I didn't realize that I couldn't save and restart because it throws away all of the video after the last trim.

I can't do all of this in one sitting. Any suggestions? I know I can split the 45 minutes into 4 or 5 segments and then multi-trim each segment but that would require me to do some arithmetic on her time codes. Thanks for your help.

I worked out a solution. When I split the 45 minute project into 4 ten minute and one 5 minute sections, the original time codes remained for the sections I hadn't worked on yet so I didn't have to adjust the codes for my edits. I was pleasantly surprised by that. I only had to complete a section fully before I saved for later work. HP Pavilion Elite 410f.

Please disregard this whole thing. As I said in my original post, I've been away from PD for a while and forgot a lot. The solution is so simple it's embarrassing. Edit the video from the back towards the front. That preserves the time codes for the cuts that have to be made. HP Pavilion Elite 410f.

I guess anyone could have missed this. Nice to see this working for you by the way.
