Making movie clips for E-Prime?

[Michiel Spape]

Hi David,
Noticed you answered your own questions mostly, but I'd like to draw your attention to Virtualdubmod (http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/) anyway - if I remember correctly from some time ago when I was dabbling in video stuff, you can do most useful things for lab purposes: re-encode, strip audio, save audio, save bits of film, and save to bmp. Personally, I'm pretty fond of saving films to bmp, so that you don't need e-prime 2 :)
As for recording: for simple stuff windows movie maker works fine, more heavy stuff might be better done with commercial packages (depending on your budget).
Best,
Mich

Subject: Making movie clips for E-Prime?

Well fellow E-Prime mavens, now I could use your experience & 
advice.  I first checked in the New Features Guide, and did a cursory 
search through the PST Knowledge Base, the PST Forum, and the E-Prime 
Google Group, and did not find this addressed anywhere, so I hope I 
have done my homework at least as well as I expect others to :).

Two related questions:

1) Suppose we want to make some short clips from a larger, existing 
movie file for use in E-Prime.  What software would you recommend for this?

2) Suppose we want to record our own movie clips from scratch for use 
in E-Prime.  What systems would you recommend for that?

I might also reframe those questions as, "What did *you* use?" or, 
"What worked for *you*?"

Note that the KB and online discussions have addressed at length how 
to get *existing* clips to work with E-Prime (installing codec 
libraries, etc.).  I instead want to avoid those problems by 
preparing our clips in the first place in a way that plays well with 
E-Prime "out-of-the-box".  Any advice?

Thanks,
