Marking clips used in your edit?

How do you mark clips that you've used in your sequence?
If you have many clips in your browser/media library and you want to clearly see which clips were already used, without looking through them and comparing?
Even iMovie '11 had that function - sections of clips that were used had an orange line through them. Is it possible to do in FCPX? Other then making them your favorites?

the best method I've found:
after you move a clip into the timeline, hit delete with the clip selected in the event browser.  This doesn't delete the clip, it simply assigns a keyword of "rejected".  Then, in the top left of the event browser, you can change the pull down menu to "hide rejected"
I do hope they just simply add another bar, but this is fast and works great in the meantime.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

    Hi Suny152,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You shouldn’t have any issues using the Transform tool in the Video Inspector to resize your RED footage from 4K to 2K.  This workflow is described on pages 13-14 of the
    RED Workflows with Final Cut Pro X White Paper
    https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/RED_Workflows_with_Final_Cut_Pro_X.pdf
    In the Transform section of the Video inspector, use the Scale slider to adjust the frame size of the selected clips as appropriate for the new project frame size.
    These kinds of aesthetic changes don’t degrade image quality, because Final Cut Pro X operates on the original 4K or 5K frame, not on the resized 2K or 1080 frame.
    Cheers!

  • Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

    Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
    I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
    Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
    The more automated processes the better.
    Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.
    B

    yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
    Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

  • Using Photoshop to Edit Clips

    After working a bit with PExx and PrePro with an eye for production work, it seems obvious that some complementary apps and widgets are handy to accomplish a finished product. I count Photoshop among these. I recently came across a teaser video that introduces the clip editing feature in CS5. I had no idea this was possible.
    So now I wonder... is Photoshop a better venue for “tweaking” video whatnots prior to final production rendering in PE or PrePro? For example, I create masks in Photoshop that I reference in PE. Maybe it’s better to import an MOV created in PE into Photoshop and mask the clip directly within, then reverse for final production. Another example might be color & contrast grading, blurring, fine detail manipulation... the list goes on. I am much more familiar with Photoshop than either PE or PrePro, and I’m intrigued by the prospect of using either NLE more or less to snip and composite clips that I’ve edited in Photoshop.
    Information on this notion is scarce, and frankly there’s very little in this forum and elsewhere about this capability in Photoshop CS5. Comment, advice and referal from the PE and PrePro illuminati on this matter is welcomed.

    Photoshop-Extended has some good, albeit limited Video capabilities.It can only Import and Export some formats/CODEC's. Working in PS-Extended, one is basically doing Rotoscoping, or Frame-by-Frame adjustments, but that is tedious. Here is one such TUTORIAL.
    For CC (Color Correction) work, like Color Grading, PrPro, or Adobe After Effects, will be better programs. Here is a TUTORIAL for using After Effects and Photoshop.
    Now, I use Photoshop to create Mattes (masks) for use with Effects, like Track Matte Keying.
    For more advanced Keying, you might want to see this TUTORIAL on After Effect's RotoBrush.
    PrE has some Keying, Track Matte Keying, and some limited CC Effects, but if one is looking into making a profession of CC and Rotoscoping, PrPro, After Effects and Photoshop-Extended would definitely be the way to go. They are all included in the CS 5.5 Production Premium suite, along with Illustrator, and OnLocation, plus Encore, a full-featured authoring app.
    Good luck,

  • Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

    Hello,
    I'm just starting to use Prelude.  I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week.  The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name?  My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers.  I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!  I would think this would be a very simple and common function.  Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers.  Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary.  If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
    Best regards,
    Scott

    Hi -
    Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card.  The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
    However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
    1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
    2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
    3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
    4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
    5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
       5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
       or
       5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
    There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    Michael

  • Searching iPhoto clips  using iPhoto keywords within iMovie ('09)??

    Just returned to Apple after a 30 years (yes, 30 years) absence with a lovely refurb iMac.
    Main problem now is moving over and categorizing my library of photos and video clips taken with my Canon g9 . iPhoto has got the photo end covered nicely, now that I figured out how to use Bibble to process the raw images.
    But videos is another matter. I really do like the way iPhoto uploads and categorizes my videos out of the box, and adding in the same keywords as my pictures makes it a winner for me. BUT, I noticed when looking at the iPhoto clips from within iMovie, the keywords assigned to the clips from within iPhoto are not accessible from within iMovie. Yes, iMovie has its own keywords, but geez must I really go through ALL those clips and re-keyword (new verb ?) them all after already doing it within iPhoto at import ?? AIUI, the keywords are saved in XML files in iPhoto. Isn't there a plugin or something available for iMovie that would allow it to search iPhoto clips using the iPhoto assigned keywords ? it seemed a no-brainer to me, given that these programs are designed to work together at some level, but apparently not. Or am I missing something ?
    iMovie has not impressed me as a stand-alone cataloguing program, so I've looked into iDive, Footrack, etc, but those are not accessible from Front Row, whereas there is a little tool that makes clips in iPhoto visible from FR (called Purre).
    A compromise might be necessary, but first I want to be sure that what I am suggsting cannot be done.
    your collective wisdom will be much appreciated
    -bun

    It might be worth it to you to keyword in iMovie. It is very different from iPhoto. For example, if you have a 30 minute movie in an Event, and you have 2 minutes of your child as part of the movie, you can keyword those two minutes and go instantly to those frames. In iPhoto, you could put a keyword that your child is in the video, but you would only know that it is somewhere in the 30 minutes and you would have to search for it.
    See [this video tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mark] for how to do simple marking of your video.

  • How do I synchronize multiple *sequential* clips using audio waveforms in Premiere Pro CC?

    I recorded a concert at my kids' school.  I ended up with:
    Video in six separate clips (video+audio) from my Canon 5D Mark III camera
    A single audio clip from my Zoom H4n recorder
    The 5D Mark III can only record clips of up to 4GB in size, and clips 30 minutes in length.  The clips broken up by the 4GB size limit are adjacent to each other, but the clips broken up by the 30-minute limit have a stop-pause-restart gap of a few second.
    On past such projects, I have used PluralEyes 3.0 to synchronize the clips.  But PluralEyes converts each stereo audio track into dual mono tracks, which I don't like.
    I just happened upon this video:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/merge-clips-automatically-using-audio-wave forms/?t=0  It shows how to synchronize a single video+audio clip with another audio clip.  It also shows how to synchromize multiple concurrent video+audio clips with another audio clip, for multi-camera editing.  But it doesn't show how to synchronize multiple sequential video+audio clips, as I got from my Canon 5D Mark III.
    It seems that every time I select multiple video clips, the Synchronize item in the pop-up menu is disabled.  When I select only the first video clip and the full-duration audio clip, I can synchronize them with audio waveforms.  But then when I try to select the second video clip and the full-duration audio clip and synchronize them, it breaks the sync of the first video cilp
    Can Premiere Pro CC synchronize multiple sequential video clips using the audio waveform method?
    I am running Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.1 (4).
    Thanks.

    I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
    I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
    Hope that all makes sense.

  • Looking for a new toy to help your editing workflow?  Try this!

    I recently ditched my simple 2-button + scroll wheel mouse for a mouse on steroids: the Logitech G700.  What a difference!  It has 11 customizable functions that can be automatically activated depending on the program you're in!  So you can have a completely unique set of functions for Premiere, Photoshop, AE, Windows, etc, and each set will automatically/instantly be activated whenever that specific program/interface is the active one!
    Here are my 2 layouts to give you some ideas:
    Premiere Pro Layout:
    Windows Layout:
    You can even assign multi-step macros to keys.  For example, I set one of the keys to: Deselect clips + Add Default Video Transition.  So now, a single keypress will always apply my default video transition to the CTI, even if any clips were selected, just the way it worked in CS6 and I wanted it to keep working in CC!
    If you're looking for a simple inexpensive way to improve your editing work, I highly recommend getting a programmable mouse like this one!  If anyone has any other hardware devices that help their workflow, please share so that we can all benefit from the knowledge.
    Cheers!

    I am in the market for a new PC for my wife, and she will be inheriting the keyboard and mouse I am using now so I can get new ones. She picked these out to begin with since we were sharing a computer for a while so she will be happy with them.
    That looks like a really great mouse. I may just have to take your advice on this one.
    Although the newer version looks even cooler: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G700s-Rechargeable-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00BFOEY3Y/ref=dp_ob_tit le_ce
    My wife would HATE that mouse, but since she will finally have her own again, I can get any mouse I want.
    Very cool. Thanks.

  • Should i use the Java edition ?

    Hi,
    i'm not sure if i should use the Java edition or the "normal" edition of the berkeley db.
    My application is developed in Java, but i won't be using either JTA, JCA or JMX.
    Is there still any advantage to be taken from using the Java edition ?
    Thanks

    There are many minor differences, e.g., JE has somewhat better write performance, DB uses somewhat less memory, DB has an SQL interface and JE does not. But overall, the two products are very similar, so for most questions you might ask, the answer is going to be "about the same".
    If you want to choose the best product for your app, you'll have to define the very specific criteria that are most important to you. If you care most about getting every ounce of performance out of a specific piece of hardware, using a specific amount of memory, for a specific app (access pattern), then you'll have to write a test and do a comparison.

  • I would like to freely add clip art in Full Edit Mode in PSE 5.0

    Hello,
    I am new to Photoshop Elements. I have PSE 5.0 on a windows XP platform with service pack 3 installed. I want to be able to create flyers with PSE and would like to freely be able to add various types of clip art into my canvas. I know you can do this when you're creating slides, but I want to be able to do this in PSE full edit mode, not by creating a slide show via the organizer.
    There are tons of clip art online and they have various file types too. I am also wondering if I can use any of the file types as well. The ones that PSE has for the slide shows are .png. But online I have seen .wmf, .mpf, .jpg as well. How can I incorporate all this clip art for use in creating flyers and/or logos by just starting with a blank 8.5 x 11 canvas in full edit mode?
    Any expert help here would be greatly appreciated. I was able to do this using Word, but Word of course lacks the graphic quality and optionality of PSE greatly.
    Sincerely,
    Lee

    Thanks for your reply here Bob. I have read what you mentioned above and am not quite sure how to do it that way. What I have been doing so far is to find a clip art item somewhere, copy it to the clipboard, then bring it into PSE with the File-New-from clipboard command.
    This will bring it into it's own space and Layer as a separate file on it's own. Then I select it, copy the selection to the clipboard once again, move over to my blank canvas which only has one background layer now, and paste it onto this canvas.
    This seems to be working, but I loose the Vector graphic aspect of the clip art image because it converts it to a raster type of image now. So I have to be very careful in resizing it to not loose resolution and such.
    I noticed when I go to create a slide show in PSE, I have access to the graphics palette where you can double click a piece of clip art and it goes right onto your slide and stays as a vector image. I can get to these images while in full-edit mode, but I have to use the file-open command and navigate to the right folder and then open one up into full-edit mode as it's own layer. But then once again, I loose the vector aspect and I have to go through the process of selecting it, copying it to the clipboard and then pasting onto my blank canvas.
    I know that MS Word is no match for this product, but at least there I could easily add clip art to any flyer I am making without loosing the vector aspect. But I know that the quality is so much better here in PSE and that I just need to learn how to utilize more of its functionality and power. Hence why I am writing this post I suppose.
    Isn't there an easier way to get clip art into your blank canvas in full edit mode without having to go through all this and/or without having to create a slide show to get access to this clip art pallete? And having to loose the vector aspect of the clip art is not so wonderful either. Did I buy the wrong Adobe application - Ha!
    Should I be using Illustrator since I want to create flyers using clip art, type and effects?
    My apologies for this long post, but I would really like to be able to utilize, if at all possible, PSE 5.0's full power to create great quality flyers using all these things.
    Thanks again,
    Lee

  • FCE4 Failure to Ingest Marked Clips

    My question regards ingesting only portions of clips using the mark in/out function of the AVCHD log and transfer process. I've been editing successfully with FCE4 for a year now, but the program will only ingest entire clips. If I mark in and out points in the Log and Transfer window, the ingest fails, showing the red exclamation point. This is not a problem for short clips, but sometimes I have a 15 minute interview and only want one or two snippets. Ingesting the entire clip takes huge amounts of space on the hard drive after transcoding. I've set the preferences to plain stereo, tried every possible fix I've read about but nothing helps this problem. I'm shooting on a Panasonic AG-HMC150 and editing on a supercharged 17" MacBook Pro. Everything works great except for this sometimes bothersome issue. Any suggestions or is this a FCE4 problem?

    My apologies for taking up space here unnecessarily! After I posted my questions, more pertinent questions and answers re AVCHD logging and transferring came up and I found that Tom has answered someone else about making sure the AIC codec exactly matched the media setting! I had shot 1440 x 1080 but had the FCE setting for 1920 x 1080!
    Thanks much for the accumulated wisdom here; I will continue to read and learn - LH

  • Possible to Start/Stop Mark Clips In Timeline?

    Hello,
    I'm using FCP5 on a Dual 2.7 G5 running 10.4.2
    I captured a couple of DV tapes, added a Time Code Generator, and gave the footage to a client on DVD so that they could create a list of shots to not include in the final edit.
    I took this list and went through making cuts at the client's listed start and stop Time Codes. The problem I am having is some of the clips left on the timeline have camera start/stop points. I would like to mark these using "DV Start/Stop Detect" so that I could create new edit points between each start/stop of the camera.
    I can double click each clip in the timeline... opening it in the viewer... and then select "Mark>DV Start/Stop Detect" and this does exactly what I want. It is very tedious though. Is there anyway to automate this process for each clip in the timeline. I hope I explained what I am trying to do clearly. If not please ask questions and I can fill in details.
    Thank You,
    Matt

    Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it would have been alot smarter to run the Start/Stop Detection as my first step after capturing. I'm new to FCP, and my old NLE (Premiere Pro 1.5) would break the Camera Start/Stops into separate .avi files on the hard drive and in the project window / browser. I just didn't think about it this time... but definitely will next time.
    What I ended up doing is using the track forward selection tool to select all the clips in the timeline that I wanted to mark. I created a new bin in the browser and put all of my clips in the timeline in this new bin (creating subclips?)
    Then I selected all of these clips in the browser and ran the Start/Stop Detect tool. After it finished I sorted all the newly marked clips in my browser by their in points. I then selected all of my clips, dragging them back into the timeline. I put them on a new track so that I could make sure everything lined up correctly. It did. It ended up being a pretty simple fix. Just had to think about it a bit over dinner.
    Thank You,
    Matt
