When you are working a clip store for maximum exposure, you want your clip ‘popping’ through out the day. You may only update with one clip per day, but you want to make the most of your one clip. All clips must be at minimum 2 minutes per segment.

I mention this because some clips are going to be able to only get cut into two pieces, others you can cut into more. It is important to maxmimize each clip to it’s fullest when you can. So first step for you would be to sort clips by time. If they are 6 minutes, you can cut three times. If 5 or less, you cut twice and so on. This is important as we get to the next step.

1. Open VideoCharge.
2. Box pops up. Check should be at the middle of three choices. Hit ‘Ok’.
3. New menu. Scroll down to ‘Split Video..”. Next.
4. Open up your folder where you have your watermarked full length clips.
5. Pick one of them that has been watermarked and compressed.

Step 5: You can pick multiple or a whole folder of clips to do at once in VC. You do this using your CNTRL key and highlight all the clips you want to do at once. However, for simplicity sake, we are going to do one at a time.

6. Next. Through Common Directory.
7. Select Outut. You want to pick, “Without Re-compression (fast). Next.
8. Destination Folder. Put in the D:/whateverpath to where you the cut clips going. Next.

Step 8: I typically make a folder for Cut Clips to go into seperate from the main. Same as I make a folder for Watermarked to go in that is different from the original version. This keeps finished product seperate and folders clean. However, you can do whatever you like. If you pick nothing, the files will dump in same folder as original full length clip you selected at Step 4.

9. Select Thumbnail. Select nothing. Next.
10. Select Tumbnail Size. Select Nothing. Next.
11. Set Thumbnail folder. Select Nothing. Next.
12. Set Video Paramethers. Check Third Option. Split files. 2 or 3 (based on time). Next.
13. Finish.

This will cut your full length clips in a few minutes (if doing a bunch of files) into segments for your clip store. You would then upload the full length, and the clip segments, into the clip store. This allows you to get a day of ‘pops’ or updates versus just one. You can also pick multiple catagories.

14. When clips are done processing, go to folder, delete thumbs. Upload finished to clips into your store.
