Hi,
I use "Split" to cut a clip. I then delete the unwanted section.

From what you've described, it doesn't appear you deleted the unwanted sections and only "split/cut" a clip.

If you can provide a screenshot of the edit workspace showing you're project we may be able to assist you.

Okay, I guess this isn't a common thing after all.

Yeah, screen shots and attachments I'm familiar with, especially in phpBB. Didn't know how far I'd have to go with this.

I'll have to take screenshots and whatnot this weekend. No I didn't know to delete the cuts, I thought that's what that trashcan icon was doing in the "multi-split" editing window, deleting the cut out portion so it wouldn't play.

Strange that the cut out (with the trashcan icon) parts don't play in the timeline play, on the .mpg production or the DVD "create disc" but they do in the AVCHD production, though.

I'll get circles and arrows on the 8X10 photo glossies with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back this weekend. Maybe that'll help explain it better.

Thanks!
DanH

I have been on these forums for some time now and I personally haven't seen anything like it. My first thought was what Dafydd suggested, but you say the DVD does play correctly, so I'm baffled. __________________________________

Okay, let's see how well this turned out

First, create a project and import some .mt2s files into it



Bring one of the files down to the timeline to start editing:



highlight the clip in the timeline and click on the multi-trim button to bring up this:



Make a first cut (trim point):



Delete the first section of that clip using the delete button at the bottom right of the multi-trim window:


Now the timeline within the multi-trim window looks like this and when you play the clip with "Output" selected, the deleted part does not play:




Continue on in this manner with this clip until you have what you want to see playing with the "Output" button selected then click on "OK"




After all the edits are in for all the clips and the transitions are put into the splices you go on to produce:
.avi, mpeg-1, mpeg-2 (standard def), mpeg-2 (hi def) work fine. H264/AVC does NOT (more on that later)


Burn to DVD works fine:



H264/AVC outputs an mt2s file, AVCHD. These play on my Blu-Ray player (Denon 1610) so I went ahead and produced one to see how it looked in 1080. ALL of each clip played, all of the deleted clips were in and played. None of the transitions were in there and it just played each of the raw clips in order without any of the editing. HUH? What happened there?

If there is any questions about what else I did, feel free to ask. It's confusing the heck out of me, though.

Please display screenshot of the project in the Edit workspace (tracks) after you've carried out the multi-trim.

Hi,

Please attach full screen images of:

and
tenthfulltimeline.png.

I'm trying to read the on screen data, the current resolution prevents me for carrying out this effort.

I'll have to do that tonight when I get home. Actually I'll have to retake the screenshots, I shrunk the originals

Not a problem.

I'll just link these, they're large:


Second time line big with one clip on timeline

tenth time line big with all clips trimmed, fades installed and ready to go to press

Or if you really want them attached:

Hi Dan,
thank you for the images.

Only one observation - please wait for the shadow edit files to generate before carrying out any editing, you can have some strange editing problems if you start editing before completion.

For the moment, there isn't a lot that can be done. Looks to be a one-off.

I suggest you re-install Pd9 etc and see it that clear up any quirks. Use the Cleaner tools.

I do. Remember I was just recreating the early stages of the editing for the screen shots. Yeah, I see that the last one had not completed prior to the pic. On the real go through it took about an hour for me to even start editing, all the shadow files were long done

-eh- not really any skin off my nose for now, I just thought this might already have a solution and if not someone might want to know it exists.

I do believe I'm going to pick up a Blu-Ray burner and give that a shot just to see what happens.

I appreciate the time.

I've always seemed to have better luck with the split and delete from the main edit page with no problems. Simply go to the spot you wish to cut, highlight that, click split, and right click and remove unwanted portion(s).

Cheers!
