I had a webinar in wmv format I wanted to publish that contained two minutes of silence in the middle. Not good.

I couldn’t find any straightforward instructions for dummies on how to fix it. So I figured it out the hard way, and now I’m writing the steps here.

1. Open Adobe Premiere Elements 9
2. Open new project
3. Name your new project
4. Click OK
5. File–>Get Media From–>Files or Folders
6. Browse to the file and click open
7. Click sceneline if it’s not selected
8. Drag the file’s screen shot to the first box in sceneline
9. Move the timer to where you want to cut
10. Click on the scissors (“split clip”)
11. Move the timer to the next place you want to cut
12. Click on the scissors (“split clip”)
13. Looking at the scenes, there should be three. The one in the middle is the one you want to delete. Right click it and choose “delete scene and its objects.”
14. Now you want to “share.” Look on the right of the screen for the share tab and click on it
15. Choose “computer export files for viewing on computers”
16. I scrolled down to “windows media files” so I would get wmv
17. Click “save.”
18. Now wait. It can take a long time
