Does anyone know how to use Adobe Premiere? I need to cut out some video from a clip. Anyone know how to do this?

my favorite... I'm not at a computer with premiere installed at the moment, and I haven't done any editing for quite some time, so this is kinda off the top of the head, but this is pretty much how i remember it:
[list=1]
Import source video
Open it in monitor
Start playing, press the button that looks like a "{" at your desired start point
Press the button that looks like a "}" at the desired end point.
It should highlight in green on the progressbar of the monitor
click the video and drag it to the timeline on video 1.
[/list=1]
If any of that needs clarification, let me know.

THANKS!

Do you know, now how I can convert (the new video) into a .mpg?

not of the top of my head, I believe you choose the file type when you're exporting

When I export the file, I can only export the video as one file and the audio as another. How do I export the two of them together?

you aren't exporting as a .mp2, are you? if so thats the dvd encoding format where the video and audio have to seperated... Once I get home I'll load up premiere and remember how to do this... alternately, you could export as an .avi with the intel codec (a nice generic one), then convert to .mpg with tmpgenc (http://www.tmpgenc.com).

If you don't mind, please let me know how to even export it to a .avi file. For some reason, I keep getting two separate files.

Once you've edited your final masterpiece press Enter to build it. By this I mean turning the thin red line at the top of your timeline to a nice green one.
Then you have different options. Goto file > export then it's either movie, frame or audio. EChoose movie. In the dialogue box choose 'export entire sequence' (or something like that). You can also change the settings to compress the video too.
In the latest Premiere you can also export straight to tape or DVD but I'm not sure if 6.5 has this option.
