I produced this by starting with the program in the state where it was in the last image, clicking on the "Sprite:Sprite1" tab, then clicking on the "Griffith2_1" video block - the blue rectangle in the editor, middle lower pane. It is the only MPG I've imported into the project.Īlso, there is a "Sprite:Sprite1" tab in the editor - lower pane, in the middle of the window. This is the length of the original MPG that I imported into the project.

Note that the project Griffith2 has a Scene0 which is 5.5 hours long. Now, when I open the project, I have a screen like this: I've completed the operations to remove a portion of a video. Is there some step they don't have that I'm leaving out somehow? But I don't know how to tell the converter to convert just the video with those portions removed. They appear to work, showing the cut-down video in the editor. Those are very similar to the instructions i had already read I've already done those steps. I went to the how-to-use site you suggested, and read the topic on removing unwanted portions of the video. How do I tell the software that the cut I just made should be reflected in the conversion to DVD that I make later? Surely it doesn't have to go through the lengthy conversion process on that part of the video that isn't going to appear on the DVD. However, when I tell the software to convert my project to DVD format, it converts all 5.5 hours of it. I only have one MPG file, I'm cutting it down to 3 hours from 5.5 so that it will fit on a DVD once I've done the above steps, the 'scene' appears shorter and shows the new 3 hour length. I can follow the video up through the point where I have marked a section, added it as a removed portion of the video, clicked on "apply changes", gotten the dialog that warns me that the length the video I'm editing has changed, and confirming that. I have VSDC version 2.3.0.337 there is a tutorial from someone on this forum that does go through clipping out portions of your video using this software, but I think it must be for a different version because there are differences (like the labels on some of the buttons).
