| Testimonial of the month Changed my life
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, and I was having a really hard time finding a job with the areas I wanted to be in. Then I found lynda.com. After a couple months with lynda.com, I am now doing what I love and earning an additional $27K. Thank you, Lynda. You have changed my life and made it easier to support my family.

Read more great feedback. | Tip of the month |  The Auto-Analyzer takes large clips and cuts them into a collection of smaller clips. | | The Auto-Analyzer from Premiere Elements 10 Essential Training Adobe Premiere Elements 10 comes with a nifty little tool called the Auto-Analyzer, which allows you to take long clips and break them down into smaller clips that are easier to use in your movies.
Say you have a 4-minute clip in your Project tab, but you only want a few pieces of it in your timeline—instead of taking the time to edit the clip manually, you can have the Auto-Analyzer do the work for you.
To use the Auto-Analyzer, select the clip you want to edit and right-click. In the menu, select Run Auto Analyzer. When the process is finished, you’ll get a pop-up window saying, “Analysis of the files has been Completed.” Click OK. At the bottom of your Project tab, you’ll see a new folder that contains all the smaller clips the Auto Analyzer made from your larger clip. Typically, the Auto-Analyzer cuts clips at moments when the camera zooms, moves right or left, or otherwise makes noticeable motions.
Within each new clip, you’ll find in and out points and trimming handles so you can easily refine the rough cuts. The new clips folder appears at the bottom of the List view. But in Icon view, your Auto-Analyzer folder will be denoted by a right-pointing arrow on the right side of the icon of the original file. Clicking on the arrow will expand it to the right, revealing all your new Auto Analyzer clips.
If you find yourself confronted with large clips in Premiere Elements 10, the Auto-Analyzer is a useful tool for breaking them up into smaller, more manageable-sized clips. You may still want to refine the cuts yourself, but the Auto-Analyzer will give you a helpful start in the process.
