Question: Is there a program which can automatically divide a video into intervals of my choosing!?
Is it possible to do this with adobe premiere pro (Cs3)!. If so, can you please explain the steps involved!. I'd like to be able to automatically cut, divide or split a video every three seconds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i need more information in order to help you!. You can use premier pro to do this [it is what it's designed for] but there are other ways also!. can you explain further - do you want to export these 3 sec clips as individual files, or re-edit clips into a film!?

Ok - well premier pro could be a bit of a steep learning curve if you have no experience of video editing!. And i'd probably confuse things by outlining everthing in this post!. If you have the software then read the help files, they are quite clear and will get you started!.

there are also lots of free tutorials for begginners online, for example:

What you want to do is actually quite straight forward, but you will need a basic understanding project settings, the premier workspace and export options!. Hope this helps get you started!.

btw - I don't think wether you have been to film school or not is relevant - if you have a desire to learn and teach yourself then go for it and enjoy learning a new skill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you can write a script to do this kind of thing in Premier, I have to admit I don't use it much, being primarily a stills photographer, but I know I can get Photoshop to do anything I want with a script or an action!.

Being so rigid as 3 seconds wouldn't work on any video I've edited, though I haven't done many!.

What do you mean by intervals!?

Do you mean cutting and editing scenes together working from your storyboard!?

We need more information to be able to answer you properly!.

I will assume you have yet to attend a film school, is that right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
