Copying and pasting between timelines

Hello.
When I edit, I often work on a specific scene in a timeline that is not my primary timeline that I will finalize. After I like the specific scene, I will select all, copy, and then paste (or paste insert) it into the primary timeline that will be the rough or final cut of the movie. I have done this many times with no problems. Today, however, when I paste the footage from one timeline into the primary timeline, it is quite out of sync and contains other problems. For example, the audio and video do not match at the beginning, but there is no indication in the timeline that this should or would be the case. Also, while all of the video survived the move, some of the audio was lost, or shifted on the timeline altogether. Basically, the entire pasted portion is really messed up. What am I doing wrong? I noted I have done this before, but perhaps I should also note that it has been done with fairly small sequences -- 20 minutes or less. My current primary sequence is 50 minutes and the sequence I was attempting to paste into it was 5 minutes. Thank you in advance.

There is no easy setup for ALL. The easy setup is set by the Use popup. If you have all selected you get the complete list of available presets. This is what you see.
The two popups at the top Format and Rate (frame rate) only serve to limit the selections that appear in the Use popup. If you don't select the correct option in the Use popup you will get the wrong preset. If you only want to have HD 29.97 options available in the Use pop, select HD in Format and 29.97 in Rate. If you select those then this is what you see in the Use popup.

  • Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

    Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
    1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
    2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
    3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
    4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
    5. Copy the highlighted parts.
    6. Copy into Clipmate:
    6.1 Edit > Capture Special
    6.2 Check both items in the list
    6.3 OK
    7. Close PE without saving.
    8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
    9. Open destination project in PE.
    10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
    10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
    10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
    11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
    12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
    13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
    14. Tell PE where the files are.
    15. Save project.

    When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
    Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
    My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

    You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

  • CS 5.5 Mac - can't copy and paste between layers

    I'm running CS 5.5 on Mac (OS 10.7.4).  Try as I might, I can't copy and paste between layers.
    Create new document
    Create new layer (= 2)
    With first layer active, create text box and type randomly
    Swtich to pointer, select text box, Copy
    With second layer active, Paste
    Error message onscreen:
    <<Cannot paste or place onto locked or hidden layers.  Do you want to unlock and show all affected layers in order to paste?>>
    If click OK, the source layer (layer 1) becomes active again, and my text box gets pasted in.  The destination layer (layer 2) is untouched.
    Both layers are visible, neither of them are locked.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    It sounds like you need to trash your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
    And it shouldn't throw that message, but also check to be sure that Paste Remembers Layers isn't checked in the Layers panel flyout menu or you'll never get anything to paste from one layer to another.

  • Cannot copy and paste between some CS2 programs

    Using MAC OS X 10.3.9
    and CS 2
    Copy and paste does not function between some programs of CS2.
    For example, Photoshop might say "Could not complete the Paste command because of a program error".
    Illustrator never says anything when the paste operation fails.
    However, InDesign accepts pasted stuff copied from Illustrator.

    There's not nearly enough info in either of your posts. My suggestions would be to visit the individual product forums for the applications that are involved here along with COMPLETE system details.

  • Applications that can copy and paste between Keynote?

    I am looking for both graphic and web appliations that can copy and paste scalable elements between it and Keynote.  I create a lot of graphics in Keynote and I am hoping to find editors that can handle those elements.  I already own PowerPoint, and it does an OK job.  I you have any suggestions, I would like to here it.

    Shapes created in PowerPoint can be placed on to a Keynote slide using copy and Paste.
    Illustrator is the number one vector application and Illustrator files can drag and drop on to the slide.
    The HTML export from Keynote as you have discovered, is only designed to make simple HTML slide shows
    see some free applications here:

  • Copy and paste between projects???

    Hello,
    iMovie '09 allows users to copy and paste clips between projects, but it do so with affecting quality. I mean is it the same as dragging clips from Events?
    NOTE: I won't be home to check this for a week and I'm trying to help a friend via e-mail. So any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    It does not affect quality. When you copy a clip from a project, you are copying a reference to certain frames in an event.

  • Copy and pasting between Sequences

    I edited a 3-camera HDV mulitcam project. It was perfect. No problems.
    I created a second sequence in the same project. I copied and pasted part of the Sequence One Timeline into the Sequence Two Timeline.
    The video in Sequence Two does not look as good. Why?
    It's the same video. Why the difference? Will the quality also be diminished after exporting to DVD and/or YouTube?

    Please give the exact item properties of the clips you're editing and the exact item properties of the sequence in which you're editing. Select a clip in the Browser and press Cmd-9 or Edit>Item Properties>Format. Select a sequence in the Browser and repeat.   

  • Time stretching when copying and pasting between projects

    I have had 18 separate instrument tracks of a live gig recorded in pro tools, so I simply imported the audio files into logic. I am also using the audio from a video camera to capture the reverb of the hall. The problem is that the audio files are 3 hours long and I would like to mix each song separately. To do this I would like to have a project for each song.
    So I have cut the files up into their respective songs, the problem comes when I try and copy the tracks into a new project. The audio files get stretched making the tuning and tempo lower. I have tried copying and pasting as well as dragging the files over to the new project one at a time. I have also checked that the sample rates are the same, which they are.
    Does anyone know why logic would be doing this? Are there any fixes you can recommend?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    The sample rates of the files may be the same, while those of the projects may not.
    Really, if it's slower and lower, by just about a semitone, then you're definitely playing a 48kHz file in a 44.1kHz project.

  • Can't copy and paste between latest firefox and word 2007

    I just posted about this a few minutes ago but forgot to mention it happens in both directions. I can't copy and paste anything from a screen in the latest firefox into word, and any links I copy from word do not copy into the address bar in firefox. Can someone help? I have Windows 7. This has been happening a couple of weeks.

    Do you have the clipboard enabled or have a locked or user.js file?

  • Copy and paste shifts timeline

    I am editing 2 sequences, one is now complete. I wasnt to repurpose some of the media for a second project by cutting out segments from the original. SO, I make a new sequence and confirm all ofthe sequence settings are identical. When I select all, copy and paste the original sequence into the second, the audio and video clips shift so they are no longer aligned. If I select the entire sequnce in the original and nest it and then open the nested sequence into a new tab, the alignment is correct. Am I missing something when I copy and paste?

    Sounds like you are copying from a sequence with one timebase (29.97) and pasting into another (23.98). That will cause gaps like this. Or 23.98 to 29.97 will too. Any change in the editing timebase (frame rate), and this happens.
