Hi Jim,
thx for your reply. I thought since Premiere is cutting the pieces away for the final movie creation anyways ... I mean it is not using this other pieces of code beyond the ins and outs ... I think there technically it should not be a problem to crop any kind of movies without re-rendering the pixels. I mean sometimes I take a long clip to AE, cut it out there and re-render it, but was hoping there is a non-destructive movie cut-short function in Premiere.
