Merging clips after splitting

Hello,
I have a video which has been filmed horizontally and moved vertically within the same piece of filming. I have split the video into three parts in order to rotate a section of the video to make it all look horizontal. This is in iMovie Projects. I would now like to join all the sections I've cropped to make a single video. However, when I join them, it reverts to the original version (ie. without the rotating I've done).
Hope you can help me with this.

When your project is finished, use the Share menu to create the final movie in the sizes you need.

Used "Merge clip" after rough cut, need to replace clips in timeline

I made a rough cut for a sequence I'm working on using just the embedded camera audio from the takes. Now that the roughcut is done I've started Merging the external audio source with the clips.
What I need to know is if it is possible to replace the clips currently in my timeline with the new merged clips without having to go through and re-assemble the entire timeline.
I read somewhere that alt-dragging should give me a green plus sign which I can use to replace the old clip with the new one but I am having no luck with that.

In the Project Panel, click the flyout menu; that's the little stack o' pancakes thing in the upper right corner of the panel. Select "Metadata Display." In the search box, type "usage"--this will reveal the Video Usage and Audio Usage metadata labels. Check those to add them, and hit OK; they'll now be added to the columns in the Project Panel. Now, you can sort on those columns to filter by usage--the unused clips won't have a number associated with that column. Select them all, and if you really want to purge them from the drive, hit Ctrl/Cmd+Delete--that will remove the media from the drive.
If you just want to get rid of the clips, Project > Remove Unused will do that.

Hi, I am trying to join two clips after splitting one clip to edit 'ums' and 'ahs' in a sentence.

Hi,
I am having trouble joining clips in iMovie. Every time I try the 'join clip' choice under 'edit' is grayed out. I would like to join two clips from time to time -- not necessarily two clips that were once one and then split. Just two clips. Maybe I did not want the material in between.
This time, I did select a section of a clip during an interview to take out 'ah, ah, ah... um' and deleted that section. And in doing so I created two clips. Now I'd like to rejoin them for a seamless sentence with out the jumping from one clip to the next. But 'join clip' is grayed out.
Thanks.

Thank you.
But I wish I could join them before I share so I can make sure the transition is smooth. Right now it's obvious there's a 'jump' to the next clip, not smooth. I'd like to be able to splice and edit have it be seamless. Say, I want to add something a speaker says 5 minutes down the road to a sentence he says now, cutting and pasteing, and having it appear that he said it all at once. Right now it's obvious there was some cutting and pasteing. I was thinking joining the clips would smooth this out.

Is there a way of getting Merged Clips into After Effects?

Hi,
When I import my premiere pro project into After effects (NOT VIA DYNAMIC LINK as we don't have prod. prem.) After Effects only sees the clips which aren't merged. Any fixes sensible work arounds for this, as currently I'm havbing to import the project ( a feature film...!) into Final Cut Pro then using Automatic Duck export out an AAF then using Automtaic Duck import that into After Effects. I haven't thought about how to get it back into premiere yet...will probably finish it off in FCP.

I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

After using Merge Clips in CS6, the resulting file now has two audio tracks

Hey guys,
I'm running into a weird problem after using the Merge Clips option. I have my video and audio selected, I've already moved the audio so they're both synced. It looks like this:
Then I use Merge Clips and pull the new file into a new sequence which in turn looks like this:
I checked the audio channels for both and apparently the merged file separated the left and right audio channels into two separate streams as opposed to using the single stream for both channels like the original.
Anyway to prevent it from doing this?

So according to Adobe's website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e582-73725e6a12e5a6165d0-7f ff.html
At the very bottom they list limitations, one of which being "Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only."
Which I was familiar with before posting this. It doesn't seem however that the two tracks are mono it looks like they are two separate stereo tracks. If I mute one I still get audio in both speakers even though I muted the "right" track.
Here's what they look like in the audio mixer
The original only has the left most track.
I guess the only thing to do is just deal with it or render out each clip uncompressed to have that single audio channel.

After December 2013 update PPro says merged clips are out of sync. They're not...

After I downloaded the latest update (December 2013) and opened my feature length film project, almost all of my sequences tell me that the merged clips (dual system) are out of sync. Yet, when playing them back, they are all perfectly in sync. In fact when I use 'slip into sync' option, the clips go OUT of sync. One clip, for instance says: Video +10:14, Audio -10:14. They all follow the same pattern. Any ideas what this was caused by? Should I just ignore it? Thanks.

same problem here, new merged clips are marked as out of sync (+- 10:15), allthough perfectly in sync.
this happens independently if i check the "use audio timecode from clip" option or not.

Serious error using merged clips

Premiere crashes when I try to use a merged clip. When I double click on the clip it loads into the preview panel, but when I perform any actions such as overwrite or insert or if I right-click on the clip I get this message: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down..."
Here are the details:
All the clips I am using in the project are merged clips.
The video clips are AVCHD with reference audio, and the audio clips are .wav 48 MHz.
Running a Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3 and the latest update of Premiere Pro CC 2014
I have tried the following:
turned off GPU accelerated preview in favour of software only
deleted the merged clip and re-created it (in case it was somehow corrupt)
opened the project with a different system user (to rule out user settings)
started a project from scratch, merging the same clips and then performing similar tasks
emptied the After Effects cache
spent 90 minutes with tech support controlling my computer trying various things I'm not certain about
Wasting too much time. Tempted to revert to FCP until this is resolved. Please help.

I don't know about cc 2014, but in the past 5 months working in cc 7.2.1 & 7.2.2 I've found merged clips to be incredibly unstable/buggy. In one case a handful of merged clips were preventing me from importing sequences from other projects. I've run into issues where the match-frame function doesn't work with them, and worst of all every time I've used them they've significantly slowed down premiere (creating a very annoying lag between every interaction with the program).
My workaround has been to avoid merged clips at all costs, and instead use single-angle multicams to group video & audio from different sources. It ain't ideal, but it's been a far more stable workflow.
Don't know about the 2014 version - I'm afraid to give merged clips another serious try after all the headaches they've caused in the past. If anybody has seen improved stability with merged clips in the recent update I'd be very interested to hear.

Moving project breaks merged clips...

Hello,
This is a complex and difficult problem to describe by writing, apologies if it's not clear. I've been working for several months on a large project that was shot double system: video imported as Pro Res (shot in HDV) and audio (recorded on DAT) that was transfered to aiff files. So I had 43 cassettes of video (with each shot automaticall being it's own clip - as it was HDV) and then 13 one hour aiff files of the DAT audio. In FCP I broke down each video clip and synced it with it's audio and created merged clips. I had trouble while creating the merged clips as detailed in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1818825&tstart=0). Originally the merged clips when opened has the audio and video totally out of sync and were useless, and when I went back and made the reel names match between the DAT aiff files and the video, then the re-merged the clips they were in sync. So everything has been okay since then.
Now, after working for months on one computer, I moved the entire project to another computer. I copied all of the files from the old computer into the new computer so the files and everything are the same. But upon opening the project on the new computer everything is offline and I need to re-connect all of the media. However when I do reconnect it all, now all of my merged clips (there are atleast 2000 of them) are all out of sync again (of note, when I reconnect I always get the error message "reel names doesn't match" and I choose "continue" as when ever I choose "try again" it wont reconnect the media). Is there any other way around this issue other than having to go back and spend another 3 weeks laboriously manually changing the reel names of and re-re-mergeing each of the thousands of indivdual merged clips (in order to have them be useable, in-sync merged clips)? Even if I do this, I know that in a few weeks I will be bringing the project back to the orginal computer, and again everything will be off line and then I'll have to once again change reel names for each clip, and re-re-re-merged them to get it all working again. Does anyone have any ideas or insights into this issue? Has anyone else atleast had to deal with this issue? Thanks!

It sounds like when you moved the material, you simply copied the folders instead of using Media Manager.
Preventing your problems is why MM exists. While MM may have it's detractors (I've been one of them), it has been improved in the more current FCP versions.
Read very carefully through the section in the Manual that covers it then use it to create a transportable copy of your project.

Merging clips from an In point without cutting

Hi, I've got a lot of clips to sync but unfortunately no obvious sync points so I kind of have to find my own. The problem I'm facing is that some of these sync points I'm using are halfway through a clip and if I merge them via In point Premiere automatically cuts everything before it (likewise merging via Out point cuts everything after). Is there some way of merging clips but keeping the duration of the sources? Sorry if this has been answered before. I've tried to find information on this but couldn't.
Thanks
EDIT: In case I haven't worded this properly, my problem is when I create a merged clip from sound and video (or a multicamera sequence), the resulting clip begins from the In point. Nothing before the In point remains.

Context
Live music event. Audio: Line out from the audio desk to an external recorder. Video: 2 DSLR's. No timecode, no clapperboard. I have to sync the songs together. I COULD layer them and move them frame by frame until it sounds right, but that's inaccurate and a lot of work. OR I could find a nice peak in audio as a sync point, mark an In point and merge. This point might be in the middle of the clip though and the resulting subclip will be missing the first half of the song.
I don't get why Avid doesn't have this problem but Premiere does.

Merged clips problem

I have a very odd problem.
Some time ago I started a new project, from the beginning using premiere CC in a mac (not sure the version, but right now I'm at 8.1) with r3d video files (shot on red epic with no audio on AV clips) and wav audio files recorded on an external recorder.
Merging these clips was no problem to begin with, and didn't seem to be buggy or problematic at all.
That was when I was using a mac version of premiere CC.
I came back to the project after switching to a Windows 8 run PC - and all of the sudden my nicely titled merged files are now all buggy and weird - only about half of the video is on those merged clips while the entire audio is there - and I can't right- click on the clips (in the browser) - just nothing happens.
Anyone have a similar problem with merged clips?

...and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
I guess they just have to weigh that up against the lack of support they got from Apple for FCP in its entirety.

Merging clips results in several duplicate audio channels/tracks

I am trying to sync my audio and video in Premiere, and something is screwing it up.
I have my video track, that has 2 audio tracks.
Then I have my polyphonic wav file, that has 5 audio tracks.
2+5 = 7, right?
So why is it, when I merge my two clips together, that Premiere decides to create 20 additional tracks for my Merged Clip, totaling 27 tracks?! The majority of them are blank/empty/silent. Why is it doing this?
ORIGINAL FILES SYNCED UP

I don't understand this part of your explanation. It's been a while since I've used PE, since FCPX's sync and multicam features work so well.
Why not try a short test – skipping the PE steps entirely. Select two of your clips and let FCP automatically create a test multiclip matching the HVX waveforms with those on the 5D. Open in the Angle Editor – or start a test project and see whether the boom mic track is present.

Strange behavior of merged clips on import

After much troubleshooting I've noticed more strange behavior in the reimport of merged clips from XML...
I have merged clips made out of film transfer and the audio from an aiff file. I can export and xml of a merged clip... all of about 30 seconds and when I reimport the clip from xml it is like 47 minutes long and will not reconnect the audio part of the merged clip. That is actually happening to ALL of my merged clips in a current film project.

Yes, all phones are 111, all faxes are 222 and all mobiles are 333

Problem with Premiere Pro CC - destroyed clips after re-opening a project

Hey there,
I´m currently experiencing a big issue that is costing me tons of time. I can work just fine on my project, until I close it. After re-opening the project, all the clips within my sequence start over at every cut I´ve made. That means, I dont have a continious video anymore, and my whole project is destroyed. I cant seem to repair it either, and so far, had to start over.
Note: this only happens once I close and re-open the project. So, something must be going wrong while closing the project.
Here are the facts that might be of relevance:
I´m using:
- .mov videofiles ( filmed with NTSC / ALL-I 30 fps, 1920x1080 )
- .wav audiofile
- pluraleyes 3 for syncing
- sequences in the project are set on 1920x1080p but on 25fps.
- I´ve been working on an internal SSD
what I have already tried:
- "reconnect" the source files by saving them in a different location
- working on a different PC
- try backup files and autosaves ( they look all the same, dont ask me why )
Everything works perfectly fine besides that issue. I haven´t found any reasonable help on that matter while searching trough the web, so I´m coming to you.
I´m hoping to find a solution for this problem, as its preventing me from making any progress. Please let me know if you need more information about the project and/or the issue.
Thanks in advance!

If you're working with multicam sequences, then it sounds like you're running into an issue that was fixed in update 7.0.1.
This is the main thread on that issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5548970#5548970. For some users, the fix has redeemed sequences bitten by the bug.
If you're not editing multicam sequences or you already have 7.0.1 installed, then please provide more info about the nature of your sequences, merged clips, etc.

No three point edit with merged clips in Premiere Pro CC 7.2?

Hello Premiere Folk,
I've recently, as of last night, updated to Premiere Pro CC 7.2. I'm currently cutting a feature using merged 5K red raw clips. We were expereicning some weird things but were able to work around them. The update fixed to major problems we were having;
1. Bloating projects going from 808kb to 5mb for no reason.
2. Not being able to perform a match frame on merged clips.
The update fixed these issues, but don't throw on your party hats just yet. Within this update a fuction CRUCIAL to any editor has been taken away after you've performed a merged clip function... THE EDIT! Any time I make an in and out point in my source with a merged clip and an in and out in my timeline and try to do an insert edit via a hotkey, it just edits the entire clip in the timeline starting with a radnom in point! I was able to set an in and out in my source and just edit into the timeline but even that function has been taken away. Adobe please fix this! Yes the match frame with a merged clip works but dont take away editing basics!

This bug is NOT FULLY FIXED. I'm on a tight deadline so i'm not looking very hard online to see if i'm alone - so please forgive me for just posting here...
I'm using CC7.2.1 it's 1/21... very grateful that match frame FINALLY works on merged clips, but, again, this insert/overwrite bug is only PARTIALLY FIXED.
Insert/overwrite with merged clips on 3-point edit now works, but ONLY when cutting in BOTH merged video+audio... if you're just trying to cut in the audio from a merged clip using a 3-point/4-point edit via hotkey, it's a no-go.
I, for example, needed to re-cut in audio under some video with effects on it. So, I unpatched the video source completely and patched source audio tracks 1-4 to the appropriate sequence tracks. Upon hitting insert or overwrite multiple times, nothing responds. The only way to cut anything in from the source (merged clip) was to patch the source video back into the timeline on an unused video track, then cut ALL the tracks from the source in, I then had to delete the video track re-link the now free audio to the original video. Not a big deal, but annoying enough & waste of precious time on tight deadline.
So, yeah, I have a workaround but is still not appropriate to have a core function not work properly. Especially when I'm working with a very complicated timeline.
That said, thanks for keeping on top of our gripes, Mark.

Slip the sync in a merged clip

Hello,
I have tried to search everywhere, but couldn't find a answer. I have used Sync n Link to batch sync a feature film. Now i'm checking every take to see if it's really sync, and a lot of times it's 1 frame off.
It would be great if you can change the sync of a merged clip somehow. I couldn't find how to do this, wouldn't this be a really handy option voor FCP. Also a batch sync solution in FCP would be really appreciated...
So the question is: Is it possible to slip the relation between the audio and video of a merged clip (with a few frames). (i'm aware you can do it it in the timeline, but then it's going to give the red boxes that's its out of sync, and i don't want that.)

Hi Kevin,
There is a way! I just figured it out!
I have my extracted audio in the clip bin where it should be after I "edit audio in Adobe Audition." I then unlinked just my audio clips with the track selection tool as they were on the same track. Then I relinked the audio to the extracted enhanced audio file and BAM! It worked!
Figuring this out just saved me hours possibly days of manually replacing these audio clips!
