Jumpy Video over imported audio clips on time line.

I have faltering or jumpy video occurring only where I have imported music. this has never happened before. It happens on all music even aiff.
I need help, cant finish last DVD in a sequence of five.

Hi Lowstone and welcome!
Are any of those audio files imported from iTunes?
That would produce the symptoms you mention if the tracks were copy protected (Get Info in the file menu will tell you).
The workaround is to burn those tracks to a CD, re-import them from that CD into iTunes, save them as AIFF files, and import them into iMovie when they should work fine.

How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
thanks, ralph

Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

Hi Ralph:
You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
and split it after you split the video and be sure to
keep the playhead in the same position.

I have no audio in the time line?

i have no audio in the time line ,since i have mavrericks?

When you play the clip in the event browser, does it have audio?
If it the clip has audio there, you may have by accident selected "Video only" in Edit->Source Media. Set it to "All" and you should be fine.

Panasonic TM700 1080/50p no audio track in time line

Hi Guys
I have PP CS5 5.0.3 and a Panasonic TM700 in 1080/50P mode, audio tracks are playable in the sequence monitor and when I edit a clip and drop it into the time line there is no audio in the time line at all. I have set up a custom preset in desktop mode and set it to 1080 50 progressive and to 5.1 sound. etc and saved it as TM700 preset.
This has been frustrating me no end as you can apparently edit these files natively in PP CS5
thanks

Hi
Have you tried dragging some footage onto the new item folder (next to the dustbin) in the project panel to create a new sequence?
This will setup a new seqence with the sound track that the clip is using.
A good place to start.
I have the TM700 and use it with CS5 PP all the time @1080/50p

When I enter time machine (on Time Capsule) i see the stack of screen shots and the time line. However, when I roll over the mouse pointer, the time line does not activate. The cancel button does not get me out of the app: have to alt cmd esc. Ideas?

I have never seen it but then I run SL which is much more reliable than Lion..

Trouble Importing Home Video - Not importing full clip

I've never used iMovie before but I figured out how to get a home dvd imported. I mounted the disk image and everything and when I open iMovie is gives me the import menu. I import my clip and it tells me that it's imported 120 minutes of video but when I click on the new event there's only 48 minutes of video. Where's the rest?

This is what PYRO's Technical support told me. I plan on getting back to them with follow up questions let me know if you have one you would like to pass on.

Tihs is not likely to be happening because of anything on your system (the pattern would be a bit different usually.) This happens because the hardware is dropping frames that cannot be properly translated.
Analog tapes may often contain spots where the magnetism is weak, the tape is stretched, warped etc where the signal that is read off of it when sent from the VCR incorrectly. The reason is that the VCR doesn"t build the signal; it simply does a straight electronic conversion of the signal on the tape to signals on the wire. The problem is that in order for a computer system to understand it as video, the signal must adhere to a strict structure.
When the signal becomes out of order or a part of the signal drops out, a video computer will have a problem and will lose frames unless hardware is present that can anticipate and fill/repair the missing component (most commonly, time-base correction.) These bad signals don"t typically manifest themselves visibly on an analog monitor unless the defect is prolonged (such as distorted video at a bad warp on the tape or the bad video between multiple recording sessions) but they are still there and anything that is trying to compute data from those signals is going to have a problem.
The only thing you can do is try to clean the heads of your VCR or Camcorder using a cleaning cassette or try to run the video through hardware that can do video enhancement/time-base correction, which will repair the signal thus allowing it to be captured uninterrupted. Every time the signal is interrupted, the video processor and DV compressor will take about a second to sync up and resume capture and that is what you"re seeing in those drop-outs.

Bloated clip on time line

In the picture above, I have imported a series of clips shot on two Canon cameras. (1) XF305 and (2) XF105
Problem - clips in timeline for XF305 = 2hrs 45mins in Video track No1 but on Video track 3, the clips from XF105 = 12 hours +. The latter plays back in real time. The timelinefor Video 3 in my view should be approx 2hs 45 mins
Any suggestions how ro fix? I am seeking to undertake a multicamera edit.
The clips shot in 35Mbps 1920 x 1080
Thanks

I beleive there is repeated clips on Video track 3 ...seems to be the problem...

Problems with movie clips in time line-program keeps quiting

Not sure if I love this new iMovie version. I have imported many clips with my Sony Digital Hi 8. No problem with past versions. Everything went good until trying to put the clips into the time line. Everytime I try working with the time line and the imported movie clips the program quits...every time. Is this normal. Its getting pretty frusterating.
Thanks for any help.
Shane

I feel your pain in that the same things are happening to us. My wife is trying to edit many video clips imported from a Panasonic PV - GS39. iMovie crashes constantly when trying to work with this particular project. I have successfully edited a project that consisted of mainly still pics with only a few short video clips thrown in. I've tried many of the suggestions from this discussion group (QT plugs, trashing prefs, etc...) with no success. I'll keep trying for a solution though.

Clips on Time Line Moving forward

I have video on V1 and photos on V2. When I delete V2 photos from the beginning of the time line all of the photos from the right of the time line move to the left. I cannot find a way to stop the other photos from moving. Also If I delete a clip from V1 there's no problem. All other clips stay in place. Only V2 moves.

Sounds like you performed a 'ripple' delete instead of a 'lift' delete.
If you have a full sized keyboard, the smaller DELETE key above the left arrow performs a 'ripple' delete, moving all clips further down the Timeline to the left to fill the gap.
The larger DELETE key above the \ key, performs a 'lift' delete. The selected clip will be deleted but leave a gap.

Why CS4 freezes when drag clips to time line ?

Hi, I am using CS4 whenI grab and drop all the clips at onece on the time line most of the clips at the end freezes. The clips in the start of the time line plays ok on time line and but when it reaches blank clips, CS4 seems freezes and I have to select CTRL+ALT+DEL to getout which will distroy all data on time line. I am using Dell Precision T7500, 2.4GHz Proc, 12GB DDR3 RAM with ECC, Nvidia Qudro FX 3800 with 1Gb memory, RAID 5 sys with 3 600GB, SAS HDDs(but shows as only one big HDD, ie. 1.09 TB total in C:\ and my data and project/scratch disk data saved in USB connected external HDD. All my OS and Prgrams saved in C:\ drive. I would really appreciate for any advice I can try to get rid of long lasted problem...Ur help is much appreciated. Thx.

You have made a giant mistake in setting up your disks like that. Your currently have:
1. A gigantic 1.09 TB raid5 for OS & program, which is very fast (around 170 MB/s transfer rate) of which you use about 40 GB.
2. A very slow USB drive that is only suitable for backups (around 20 MB/s transfer rate).
What you should do is:
1. Get a new Samsung F4 320 GB disk for OS & proagrams ( around € 30) or better. The F4 gives the best bang-for-the-buck.
2. Use the raid5 for all your other requirements, projects, media, media cache, etc.
3. Use the USB disk for backups and possibly for exports,
You will likely get transfer rates around 120 MB/s for 1, 170 MB/s for 2 and 20 MB/s for 3.
This € 30 investment will increase your performance significantly.
To paraphrase Armstrong: "A small step for man, a giant step for mankind", would tramslate into: "A small investment for you, a giant step in your performance".

Automatically stop at end of clip on time line

Dear All,
im using fcp ( final cut pro) as playback server. I creat run down on time line, The problem i m facing, it continues playing after the desired clip finished. I want it to be stopped on the last frame of the played clip. ( do not play next one)

You won't find an option that plays only a selected portion in the timeline without using the in/out - play in to out option. That's the way it was designed. The only other way to make sure you can do it is to make separate timelines for each clip.

Can two different video formats be combined on the time line?

I am working with several clips some are older and standard, others were shot on a HD camcorder. Can they be combined on the time line. Do I have to change the settings... I am using FCP 6. Thanks.

The short answer is yes, standard definition and high definition can be combined in the same timeline. There are a series if problems and issues that arise from the fact that the HD will typically be 3-7 times the size of the SD. These tend to be questions for the editor, not tech support.
The best way to approach this is to read the FCP online Help files dealing with mixed SD/HD and start making the decisions on how you want to utilize the footage, then the questions you ask will get you the specific answers you desire.

How do I move a compound clip from time line to an event in event library

How do I move a compound clip made in the time line into the event library to store it for latter use?

With *no other* clips selected, you can create a New Compound Clip (right click and select from popup) in the Event browser; Copy the compound clip in the storyline; double click new empty compound clip to open it in its own timeline and paste the copied compound clip. When you go back to the storyline, the compound clip in the Event browser is updated with the newly pasted compound clip item. If you want to uncompound the stored clips, when in the New compound's timeline, right click on the pasted compound and select Break Apart Clip Items... The only problem you run into if you break items apart is if you have Effects applied to the storyline compound clip, you will lose those effects because the "new" compound in the Event browser will not have those effects and you can't copy/paste effects back into the Event browser, only items in a timeline.

NO Option/Drag to make a copy of a clip in time line

Sorry for what may be a very basic question but in several other programs that I use, pressing Option while dragging a selection will make a copy of the selection and place it where the mouse is released. Does Premiere have something like this for dragging and copying a clip in the time line?
Cris is Bliss

Alas, Premiere has no such drag-'n'-copy option. The closest you can get is using Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy your clip instance in the timeline, and then positioning the CTI where you want the copy to appear and pressing Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste. Be sure your tracks are targeted properly before pasting.
I, for one, would like to see this option in CS5... do what the cool kids do and make a feature request

Video not importing audio

I am trying to post some mov files onto my friends website.
Someone said to use Flash. I followed the tutes and when I get to
the import video step in Flash, I am using "embed" instead of link.
I get an error that says "Audio can not be imported". What do I
do?
