Quote In Premiere Pro there is an option that allowed the user to constrain the working area of the timeline. That allows for saving sections of the timeline to a file. It also appears to isolate those segment, so the program only sees a small segment of the timeline which makes it less likely to chock.

Is there such an option in PD?

To do this, first you need to move your play head marker to the end of the section of your project that you want to produce. Then, click on the ‘Movie’ button so that you can identify the timecode associated with this end point. Next, you want to create a timeline marker in order to identify this precise end point. Therefore, place your cursor directly over the play head and right click and select ‘Add Timeline Marker’. The timeline marker text box then displays. Type in your timecode and click OK. A timeline marker is then created. Now you can drag your play head to the start point of the section to be rendered. Carefully place your cursor over the small yellow section next to the play head. Your cursor will turn yellow. Once the cursor is yellow, left click and drag until you reach your out point. When you release the mouse, you will see yellow in and out point markers for the range to be produced, and everything will be yellow between those two points. You will also notice that a ’Produce Range’ button has now arrived. You click on that button, and you are taken to the ‘Produce’ screen. Now you check your settings and click ‘Start’. PD will then produce this section of your project in exactly the same way that you would a completed project.

Yep. Well added.

A bit more complicated than in PrP. But I'm thankful there is a way.

It is going to be interesting to see how PD compares with PrP. This is the first big difference I've noticed, that and having the tracks flipped. I keep forgetting everything is upside down. But I'm running on slow so by the time I become productive I'll have gotten used to.

I just have to be careful not to play favorites.

Thanks for explaining how to do that! Michael

Would you get the same results if you saved the current project, then save it again As a new project. Then clipped away the right and left sides of the segment to be saved. Michael

Yes. You can cut up and save as many sections of a "master" project as you want, and if you use the Insert Project feature, you can place them all on the timeline of your master/main project but still keep them separate.

Essentially, your master/main project would become a meta project of all your component projects, and the entire project can be previewed and produced as if each project's individual clips and edits were all on the main timeline.

This example shows the main project "#6 LTP Demo 13" and two inserted projects placed on the timeline, just like regular clips. Note the black & orange pds tag on the left edge of each:



You can edit an inserted (sub)project by clicking on its named tab above the timeline, and its contents will fill the entire timeline, with no content from any either the main project or any other subproject visible.

Thanks, I really like the Insert Project feature, especially the ability to edit copies without leaving the timeline. Michael
