I'm new to Premiere Pro and editing in general. I would like to make a video compilation that uses scenes from different films. My sources will be various hi def MP4's and MKV's and AVI's of the film's themselves.
When I import a film into Premiere it goes through a long "conforming" process and since I plan to use 20-30 different films I'm wonder if there's a better way to go about this. Is there a way to snip the clips I want from the films either in Premiere or another program and then just import the parts I will be using rather than having 30 full films imported into my project?
