You people that uses Premier, how do you do if you want to cut one episode up into lots of little clips like you can do in Windows Movie Maker?
Plz help me...

Put the clip on the timeline & use the razor.

there is no auto clip maker in premiere when you import video like in WMM. You have to just drag the video into the timeline and do it yourself.

Are you saying Vegas 4 can do automatic clip formation?

Two basic ways of getting your clips in premiere.

One: put the whole thing in your timeline, scroll to the parts you want and use the razor on it. You 'can' cut and paste it into an empty track where it defauld piles up to the front of your timeline. OR you can cut and paste these into a bin.

Two: use the source function. Either double click on your clip in the bin (the source window pops up) or drag your clip into the source window if you are using single track. Move your slider, mark your in point.... move your slider, mark your out point. Drag clip to timeline.

They both (actually all three) work just fine, pick the one you like.

You don't really want a program slicing up your video for you.

Go and hackety hackety.
