To import a group of spanned clips, select one of them to import all of them. When one or more spanned clips are missing from a shot, Premiere Pro will import one or more of them depending on where the missing clips fall within the shot. It will import all the clips within a shot on a card when you select any one of them, provided none of the spanned clips is missing and the relevant XML is present. Although a single shot or take can be recorded to a group of multiple spanned clips, it is designed to be treated as a single clip.įor P2 and XDCAM EX, Premiere Pro imports all of the spanned clips within a single shot or take as a single clip. It records the shot until it runs out of room on the first medium, then starts a new file on the next medium with available space, and continues recording the shot to it. Similarly, a file-based camcorder sometimes spans a shot across clips on different cards or disks, if the camcorder has more than one card or disk loaded. This is referred to as clip spanning because the shot spans more than one file or clip. When a shot or take is recorded requiring more than the file size limit of a medium, a file-based camcorder starts another file, and continues recording the shot to that file without interruption.
