In what section can I ask questions related to Adobe Premier Pro?

There is a video section here. "Video for DSLR and Point and Shoot Cameras". It is a very quiet section, but at least one there uses Premiere Pro. There is a very active user forum sponsored by Adobe here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/bd-p/premiere-pro?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all

You can ask right here or in the video section. What questions do you have? Premiere Pro is fairly close in post processing video to post processing still pics in Photoshop.

Premiere Pro section. Must be lots of retirees out there looking for something to do. I took many videos of my early days mostly on film 8mm, etc. then later on digital film. Got about 50 reals of videos I took to Costco to convert them to DVDs. Most of them were from the 60s and therefore not in great shape. I decided to use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the clips and recreated them to look like they were taken yesterday. Really professional. Then burnt them back to DVDs to give to the family. Premiere does take a bit of learning but is not that hard. The question I have is "can I save a single clip that's in a sequence to a folder as a "clip" and not a "project". I want to get all of the birthday clips from the 50 dvds unto one DVD.

In Adobe Premiere when you save a project it is saving a directory of where all the audio and video clips are located in the .pproj file. Usually all the .pproj files get saved in a Adobe directory, although the actual clips can be anywhere. This is so that when you open Premiere Pro and browse the existing projects, the project names are all in the same place. When you open an existing project, the .pproj file tells Premiere Pro where all the files (audio and video tracks) are located.

If you want to cut out a part of a sequence and save it, one way is to just export that part of the sequence and save it to a folder called birthday clips. You can set the start and stop point of your export in the preview window and then just export that part to an .mp4 file. Then if you want you can create a sequence of all those exported .mp4 files of birthday clips.

Thanks . sounds doable but why save it as an .mp4 file and not a .VOB?

I have Adobe Premier Pro CS6. .VOB is not one of the available formats for export. I use H.264 mp4. I don't use DVD's. I export as HD 1920 x 1080 and put the video on Vimeo or Youtube to be played on a computer or smartphone. I have a Roku stick on my TV so I can access Youtube with the TV and play the video on my TV if I wanted to.
