Two questions.

Why can't you use the whole clip in Elements?

If you have Pro, why use Elements at all?

Can't you just mark your in and out points on the timeline? Use the Work Area Bar before you choose Export. It's the silver bar in the sequence panel that is just below the timecode and above where it shows the rendered status (red or green) of the clip. It dictates what portion of your timeline is to be exported...

Edit your existing Clips, as is needed. Set the WAB (Work Area Bar) over the resultant "sub-Clips" *, and Export (choosing Work Area Bar, not Full Sequence) as DV-AVI Type II files w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio (for SD), and then Import those into PrE. This will work fine.

Here's a look at the WAB:

Good luck,

So I tried this for one clip, I set the in and out points on the timeline, set the work bar area in the sequence panel, rendered the clip. When I select export from the file menu I only have the option to export a movie, frame, or audio, so I selected movie and when I tried to export a 28 second clip the export time is over 45 minutes and the result is it still took the whole sequence instead of just that clip (as there are other clips on the timeline I need to export as discrete clips as well).

i tried working with the workbar as described below but your image seems to be from premiere elemetns or another version of Premier pro and i'm working in Premier Pro CS3. So I tried with a short clip - 28 seconds - and set the in and out points on the timeline, set the work bar area in the sequence panel, rendered the clip. When I select export from the file menu I only have the option to export a movie, frame, or audio, so I selected movie and when I tried to export a 28 second clip the export time is over 45 minutes and the result is it still took the whole sequence instead of just that clip (as there are other clips on the timeline I need to export as discrete clips as well). Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to get anything to work

I don't have CS3 installed still, so I don't know exactly how it is worded, but you need to set it to only export the "Work Area" instead of the "Entire Sequence". The default is to export the entire timeline, if memory serves...

I think that that image is from PrE 4. Still, the WAB works the same in PrE and PrPro, regardless of the version. The colors might be a bit different, but the WAB is in the same place, and works the same way in all later Premiere versions

Good luck,

Hunt

With Export>Movie, you will get a dialog screen, where you can select Full Sequence, or Work Area Bar. Choose the latter.

Good luck,

Here's where to look in PrPro 2.0. It will be very similar, if not exactly the same in CS3.

Hope that this helps,
