Framerate change to nested sequence of text clips?

Having successfully rendered a 25 frame project as a finished film with burned-in subtitles and other text. Now I wished to create a 29.97 NTSC version. I have attempted this by sending the complete rendered 25 frame film to Compressor and re-rendering as 29.97 ProRes 422HQ using Compressor and then re-rendering, again with Compressor, as mpeg2. I found that some of the previously successfully rendered text now appears (in the ProRes file) to be somewhat blurred and to be unstable and 'jittery' when over a light, moving background.
It occurred to me that the best solution might be to separate the background material, render this to 29.97 ProRes 422HQ without the titles and then to apply the sequence of title clips at the new framerate. Thus there is no framerate change to rendered text.
Having nested these text clips in my 25 fps project, if I paste these into my 29.97 project they come up out of sync (unsurprisingly). I have tried changing the speed of this nested sequence of text clips by 25/29.97 which (almost) worked in terms of fixing the timing but the image quality of the text seemed impaired.
Can anyone please suggest an alternative way of imposing a framerate change on an unrendered nested sequence of text clips? My aim here is clearly to avoid the need to adjust each clip's duration manually especially as some have 'motion' scrolling within them.
Thanks

It is entirely possible that you could find the font information and replace it.
Just keep in mind that the project files in CC are actually zipped.
Create a project with one clip and one title and then tear the project file apart to find the info you want to search on.
Then try it on a copy of your big project. It is tedious, but you might pull it off.

  • Making Changes To Nested Sequences

    I have edited a series of clips into a sequence in FCP. Let's call that sequence Sequence 1, shall we?
    Later, I had to create a new sequence, based on clips edited from the first sequence. Clips from Sequence 1 have been nested into a new sequence, called Sequence 2.
    I was asked to make an overall change to the look of the video. I went back to the first sequence, Sequence 1, and placed a semi-transparent Photoshop layer over it. It looks pretty cool.
    But...
    ...the Sequence 1 that is nested into Sequence 2 has not changed. How do I get the Photoshop layer that is in Sequence 1 to be visible in Sequence 2?
    In other words, how do I get the nested sequence to reflect the changes that were made to it?
    Thanks!

    You need to doubleclick on the nest in the containing sequence (sequence 2).  That will load the correct version of sequence 1 in the timeline.  Any changes you make to this version should be reflected in the containing sequence.  If they are not, toggle the nest on and off (select it and hit control b).  This will force an update if there's a problem.   
    When you edit something into a sequence, it creates a copy.  So any changes you make to the original are not reflected in the sequence.  This is a very basic fact of fcp.  For example, load a clip in the viewer,  edit it into the timeline.  Change your in point in the viewer.  This change is not reflected in the timeline.  But if you double click on the clilp in the timeline, this version of the clip loads in the viewer.  If you change the in point in the viewer, the in point of the clip in the timeline changes.
    If you apply a filter to a nest and want to adjust the parameters of the filter, option doubleclick the nest and it will load in the viewer and you can adjust the filter.

  • Nested sequences change aspect ratio of clips underneath them

    Premiere Pro 6.0.5
    Mac Book Pro Retina
    See attached screen shots:
    1. Nested sequence is off - everything under is is crisp and proper aspect ratio
    2. Nested sequence is on - everything under it is blurry and wrong aspect ratio
    3. Only nested sequence is on - so you can see it does NOT contain the layers underneath it by mistake
    Why is this happening?  It's really troubling... It generally happens when I go to render my sequence - it goes all haywire wrong aspect ratio when rendered with that transparent nested sequence above everything.
    Image 1:
    Nested sequence is off - everything under is is crisp and proper aspect ratio
    Image 2:
    Nested sequence is on - everything under it is blurry and wrong aspect ratio (it gets pushed up - see black line that is formed on the bottom)
    Image 3:
    Only nested sequence is on - so you can see it does NOT contain the layers underneath it by mistake

    Crap... I noticed that this glitch now spread to even clips that have NOTHING above them.  The scaling is wrong, and image quality gets a bit blurry after rendering.  It always squishes my clips up after rendering, but they look absolutely perfect pre-render.
    New example:
    1. Clip 01 - Opacity slightly turned down to destroy the rendered preview - looks perfect:
    2. Clip 01 - Opacity all the way up, clip rendered wrong - bottom squishes up.  Whyyyyy:

  • Nested Sequence issue: keyframe scale setting changes after rendering?

    Hi,
    I'm using PremierePro CS5.5, and have been having this same issue since CS4. After nesting a group of clips, I make the timeline effects entries to animate the nested sequence. For this example, let's say I start at 00.00 with the scale set at 150%, and end the sequence with the scale set to 300%. Just zooming in. Looks OK, so I hit return and render the nested sequence. It plays back, all is good, but after it stops the 00.00 setting magically changes to 100% or some other percentage.  I've tried everything I can think of, from selecting Hold or Linear for the keyframe, to deleting all the keyframes and redoing the settings. It only happens with nested sequences and it seems to only be the scale setting that goes flukey. Anybody else have this happen and could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Christy

    Thanks for checking it out Jim. It doesnt happen every time, you know how that goes... just often enough to drive me batty. I'm doing animated whiteboard videos. Lots of short bits of video layered with graphics and stills, some effects, then all that is nested and sometimes the rate compressed. Then I zoom in a bit and that seems to be the last straw. Maybe I am just doing too much? It's a simple, uncomplicated look to the finished piece, but it takes a lot of cuts and tweaks to get it that way.

  • Converting a nested sequence into a single clip

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to convert a nested sequence into a single clip?
    I have captured several forty minute mini-dv tapes and there were a lot of timecode breaks, my user preferences made FCP generate a new clip every time the timecode changed.
    I like to make subclips from a single master clip when I edit so I added all the broken clips into a sequence and nested them which has created a single clip within a sequence, but it has labeled the footage as a 'sequence' in the browser as opposed to a 'clip'.
    I think I need to strip the footage of its timecode but to not want to have to print to a blank mini-dv cassette and then re-import, if anyone knows of a solution to this problem it would be a great help.
    Many thanks.

  • Volume changes not taking effect in nested sequence

    Sometimes when I make volume changes to a clip in a sequence the change does not carry over to the master sequence that the original is nested in. What am I doing wrong? I am double clicking on the nested sequence in the master sequence to open it before I make the change to it.
      Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    I'm not sure it applies to your case, but I had similar problems with video rendering: changes to the nested sequence sometimes didn't appear in the nesting sequence, and attempt to render didn't work because ... there was nothing to render according to FCE.
    Then I forced FCE to render: I first selected the nested sequence (in the main sequence), then I first applied "Disable Clip" (contextual menu) and then "Enable Clip", and finally the render bar changed to red (or orange), meaning it needed rendering. I rendered, and all changes in the nested sequence appeared in the nesting sequence as well.
    Maybe it works also with volumes in your case...

  • Changes to master nested sequence not updating in new sequence

    Good morning - I have spent the past half hour or so searching the forum for this topic but have not found the answer. If the answer exists elsewhere, please point me in that direction; otherwise, here goes:
    I created a nested sequence by simply dragging one sequence (A) from the browser into a new sequence (B) in the timeline. Later, I went back to Seq A and replaced all of the audio (which was in-camera audio) with clean audio from a Tascam field recorder. So far so good. However, Seq B still plays the original camera audio and is not reflecting any of the changes I made to Seq A.
    I tried deleting audio render files, quitting and restarting FCP, etc., all to no avail. I have the latest versions of the OS and FCP. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    As you've probably found there are several ways to create/edit nests into sequences. The manual points out an advantage of using nested sequences is you can make a change and that change will be reflected in all the subsequent nests. As you've also found out, this isn't exactly true.
    The only way I've found to have communications carry forward to nests from the original sequence is if I edit the sequence into another sequence via the Canvas overlay/edit keyboard shortcuts from the Viewer. I've found dragging and dropping to do as you've found.

  • How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?

    Hi,
    can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard  sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
    My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of  SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?

    Hi,
        Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
    1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
    MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
    New formname ZMEDRUCK
    2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
    3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
    Change DE  to EN, save and activate
    4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
    5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
    Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
    Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
    Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,
    Cody

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • Sequence Framerate Change

    Hi.
    Ive got a short film edited in a sequence where all clips are DV NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps.
    But my own stupidity, i originally converted these clips to a wrong format, i need DV PAL 720x576 25 fps instead of the ones i have now in my FCP sequence.
    Ive got the clips converted as a copy in another folder but the problem is that now i have an edited sequence in FCP that uses the clips with the wrong format, it is a long edit, there are a lot of transitions.
    Is it possible to somehow replace all the clips from my FCP sequence with the correct (DV PAL 25 fps ones) and tell final cut pro to change the sequence settings to correspond with the new format clips?
    Thank You
    George.

    You understood the post correctly, its just my bad explaining.
    The thing is that i edited using In and Out points- I had long NTSC clips in my file browser, i used In and Out points to find the bits i needed from each clip and dragged them to the timeline.
    Now when i need to edit in PAL, i have the clips converted in a different folder, but final cut pro is still basing the sequence on the NTSC clips, i want to change the sequence settings and tell final cut pro to use the clips in the PAL folder as the base clips instead of NTSC, while keeping all my In and Out points.
    Im sorry if not explaining it properly.

  • Nested sequence: after a cut, audio repeats from previous clip

    Summary: In a nested sequence situation, I'm getting short audio repeats from a clip element just prior to a cut.
    Context:
    Premiere Pro CC, latest version at time of writing (7.0.1 (105), under Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Structure: I have a sync-sequence (multicam source sequence) consisting of XDCAM-EX (file structure broadly along the lines of AVCHD) and Z1 (plain m2t files).  Derived from / dependent on that is a multicam edit sequence, where I cut between camera angles.  Then that sequence is itself nested in a master sequence (showing selected extracts of the performance).
    For reference purposes: Multicam edit sequence consists (among other things) of a rock band's "big finish" followed by some applause.  I made a cut in the audio part (only) of the nested sequence clip, to enable the audio for the applause to be normalized independently of the band performance.  To smooth the join I added a crossfade transition over the cut.  Nicer in principle than using volume envelopes.
    When I play the original recording or the multicam sync-sequence or the multicam edit-sequence, all looks and sounds fine.
    Problem:
    When the Master sequence is played back (in preview or an exported/encoded clip) I hear the big finish, then applause starts, then after 2 seconds the "big finish" is heard once again, but at lower audio level.
    This effect happens wherever I have used the same cut/normalize/crossfade technique in the (nested) multicam edit sequence.  I have also encountered it in previous projects in Premiere CS6.
    If I delete the crossfade then the problem disappears...  Doesn't matter what type of audio crossfade is used.
    Is this a known problem? and is there a quick workaround? (other than using envelopes instead or copying/patching the audio up to the master level)

    Ah so  [Sequence > Render Audio] is not just a "luxury item" to get waveforms to display when nested or to (presumably) to lower CPU load (e.g. when audio effects have been applied).  It's something that I will need to always do from now on...   It's a shame there's a "feature" but great to know of the workaround.
    Thank you very much.

  • Changing multiple text clips attributes?

    I have a number of text clips that I need to change both the font size and the color. Is there a way to paste text control attributes from one clip to another or to multiple clips? I have about 50 I need to change and doing each one manual, until the client changes their mind again, is becoming tedious.
    Thanks.

    There's no easy way to paste attributes like title fonts and colors and sizes. You could try an xml workaround like this:
    http://www.dvcreators.net/warp-speed-workflow%e2%84%a2-3-changing-the-font-of-al l-titles-at-once/
    it works for font but not sure about color and size.
    Something like Traffic might be a good bet too:

  • Do changes in the unnested sequence get reflected in the nested sequence?

    I frequently work with multicam sequences and am trying to rid the audio tracks of delays between them. Even after syncing, a frames difference is audible as room sound. I know I can sync them tighter if I use the waveform. But I was wondering if I do this after I've nested the tracks, if this gets reflected in the nested tracks?

    Yes.
    From the help: "A nested sequence always represents the current state of its source. Changing the content of the source sequence is reflected in the content of nested instances. Duration is not directly affected."

  • Un-Nesting sequence clips

    First of all, I know there is no "un-nest" command already. Though god knows why the developers haven't put one in yet because I've seen questions about this EXACT problem going back over 7 years on forums. Basically, I made a sequence a while back cutting sequence-to-sequence before I knew abotu the "Overwrite/Insert Sequence Content" command. So I have a 60-second cut with 30 or so nested clips. I need to "un-nest" those clips so I can make an EDL. I have found tutorials that suggest:
    1) Option-Double-Click the nested sequence to open the nested clip into the viewer and then Overwrite Sequence Content from there. Problem here is, the sequence opened in the viewer doesn't seem to be the actual nested clip (no audio tracks) and when I try to Overwrite Sequence Content it just uses the exact same nested clip again.
    2) Create a new sequence, Command-drag (holding Command AFTER starting to drag) the original sequence into the new one. Same problem - this just drags the same nested clips into the new sequence. No help.
    I'm going a little crazy at this point. There doesn't even seem to be a good way to match back to the nested sequence with the same In-Out points used in the cut to copy and paste or even build a new sequence. I'm one step away from just eye matching the whole thing or punching in TC clip by clip, but even for a :60 cut that woudl be a pain. Not to mention that there absolutely HAS to be a solution for this because there's no way Apple would be this ridiculously tone-deaf to the way professional editors work for this long. Any ideas?
    - eric wais.

    Oh I am very very familiar with EDL's. This is for a telecine so it needs to be as basic as possible. But I've found that even exporting an XML from FCP into Color doesn't support the nested sequences. Whole thing goes haywire.
    For what it's worth, I did find one "solution" that saves you from havign to eye match. Once you Option-Double click the nested sequence into the viewer, you can make a subckip, then load THAT subclip into the viewer, then edit the sequence content back into the cut. A stupid amount of steps to do what shoudl take one keystroke, but it is what it is. Took me about 5 minutes to do it to a :60 sequence. Bottom line is I'll never ever ever ever cut like this again (or, god willing, have to use FCP).

  • Freaky nested sequences

    Hi, anyone experienced the following:
    When double clicking on a nested sequence in the timeline to edit that sequence, any edits or changes you make to that sequence do not update back in the parent timeline. For instance if you cut a clip out or rearrange clips in the nested sequence then go back to the parent timeline you see the sequence as it was before you made those changes. Then go back to the nested sequence timeline and see all your edits/changes have been lost!!
    The only workaround I see is to remove the nested sequence from the parent timeline, make your edits/changes then drop the sequence back into the parent timeline.
    Am I missing something? I thought it would be a case of the nested sequence auto-updating itself in the parent timelline after any changes made, as for example in after effects.

    Hello Chris...
    Did your nested sequence need rendering when you created it? If so, the problem is caused by FCP referencing the origonal render files, which themselves act as little QT clips.
    After you have made your changes in the 'open' nested sequence, back in your main sequence, you need to force the nested seq to render again. You can do this by quickly moving the opacity overlay line up and down, or disabling - re-anabling the clip. The changes will now be recognised.
