Add effect to portion of clip?

I would like a particular clip to alternate between a couple of different effects and understand that I can use the blade tool to split the clips and apply effects in that manner, but is there a way to apple effects to a portion of a single clip without splitting the clip?
Tia,
Bill

I don;t like to split a clip unless I have to. You can add keyframes to animate the values of effects. Most effects have an Amount parameter. Some do not. What you want to do depends on exactly what effect you're talking about.

How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
anyone please.

Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

Add effects to multiple clips

Hello
I'm wanting to add effects to multiple clips (more specifically sharpen and color correction)
I select all the clips and drag into the viewer, but the effects only apply to the first clip. How can I easily have the effects apply to more than one or all clips in the timeline.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Here's how you do it:
1. Apply the effects to one clip.
2. Copy the clip
3. Select all of the other clips you want to apply the same effects to
4. Go +Edit > Paste Attributes.+ (I believe the command is Option-V)
5. Check the filters box.
6. Click OK.
Hope this helped,

Feature Request: Apply effects to group of clip instances

I have been trying to supply this feature request into the Adobe feedback form. But it appeared that it was too large to be posted in a single feedback form. So I had to split it into three distinct feedback forms.
I don't want this feature request to get lost just because those three parts can't be joined back into a single feature request again. So I'd like to post it here, requesting for comments, too...
This feature request is about applying effects to more than one clip:
a)
Currently, when selecting more than one clip, it's not possible to change any effects settings. The Effects Settings windows only shows a "Multiple clips selected" message.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following:
When selecting more than one clip, the Effects Settings window should display any effects that apply to all the selected clips. Moreover, only those effect parameter values should be displayed having the same value across all selected effects. This on the other hand, of course, can only be displayed for effect parameters not having key frames/timing activated.
Editing any of the displayed effects' parameters should apply the new value to each currently selected clip instance.
b)
Then again, when using key frame/timing activated effect parameters, it is currently not possible to apply such effect to more than a clip, too. To apply such animated effects to more than one clip it is currently necessary to nest those clips into a separate sequence.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following improvement:
It should be possible to apply effects not only to clips but also to a group of clips (Menu Clip > Group).
Activating animation/key framing to any of the effect settings of those effects being assigned to a clip group (in contrast to those effects assigned to any clip instance contained in the the group) will allow to add key frames spanning all clips of the group.
This way it will be possible to easily create, e.g., a zoom effect spanning several clips.
If there are clips in-between those belonging to the group, the group's effects won't be applied to those clips not belonging to the group. However, the effects' parameter values are continued to be calculated in the background.
So this example would be true:
- Available clips:
| a | b | c | d | e |
- Clips grouped into a Clip Group:
| a |   | c |   | e |
- Zoom video effect applied to the group, having two key frames added:
Key frame #1 = beginning of clip | a |
Key frame #2 = end of clip | e |
Zoom value of key frame #1 = 100%
Zoom value of key frame #2 = 400%
--> So this will be the approximated calculated zoom value when the timeline reaches following points in time:
Beginning of clip | a |:     100%
End of clip       | a |:     132%
Beginning of clip | b |: (100%)
End of clip       | b |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | c |:     174%
End of clip       | c |:     230%
Beginning of clip | d |: (100%)
End of clip       | d |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | e |:     303%
End of clip       | e |:     400%
(Unfortunately, this forum doesn't allow me to apply any kind of formatting to the example above. So I can't apply a monospace font or colouring )
When a group gets ungrouped (Menu Clip > Ungroup), effects that had been applied to the group will be assigned to each individual clip of the group. For effect parameters that had key frames/animation activated, key frames will be created at the beginning and end of each of the clips. The previously calculated values will now be inserted at each automatically created key frame to mimic the grouped effect behaviour. This operation then would finalize the Ungroup operation involving clip group effects.

Axel Dahmen

You could combine the Next/Previous Edit commands with either the Apply Video Transition shortcut or with a paste command if you had copied the transition you want.
OR... much easier if all you want is a bunch of consistent fade ins/fade outs...
On a single clip, keyframe opacity to create a fade in from the in point of the clip at the duration you like, e.g. 30 frames. Right click Opacity, and select Save Preset; give it a name, e.g. Fade In 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to In Point. Reset the effect and delete the keyframes, and then repeat this to create a fade out. Go to the out point of the clip, set keyframes, and once again, right-click Opacity and Save Preset; this time call it something like Fade Out 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to Out Point.
Now, you can simply select all of your clips in the sequence, and apply these presets by dragging them to the selection. Even though you created two presets, because you can only have one instance of Opacity on a clip, the keyframes from both presets will be added to that single effect. You have to do this with two presets--if you do it with one and use Scale, the keyframes will stretch out or compress to maintain a relative duration instead of an absolute duration.

Adding 2 effects to the same clip!!!

Hi,
Can you add 2 different video effects to the same clip in iMovie 9? You used to be able to do it in the old iMovie - how can you do it in this version. For example if I want to have aged film and vignetting on the SAME clip?

In the older versions of iMovie, you render as you go, so you could pile render on top of render. However, in the new iMovie, all rendering is done at the end, so you can only do one video effect per clip (more if you count the video adjustments).
However, you can simulate the effect of multiple renders by
1) create a project just for this clip you want to manipulate. Drag the appropriate clips into the Project from the Event
2) Apply the first effect. SHARE the project using QuickTime in Current Dimensions in Apple Intermediate Codec.
3. Import the resulting file back into iMovie and place it into an Event.
4. Drag this clip into your main project and apply the second effect.

FCPX - Viewing portions of clips used

Hi
Once you've imported clips into the FCPX event library, is there some way to view which portions of clips have been used in a project? In iMovie, used clips have an orange line running through them in the Event Library...

Right now, you have to manually take care of this by adding a keyword to anything you add to the timeline (you can also make it a "favorite" by pressing 'F'). Then in the event browser you can choose that keyword (or choose to only see "Favorite" clips) to see that content. If you use 'F', you would see a green line, which is most close to what you describe in iMovie. Be aware though, if you trim the clips in the timeline, that doesn't get reflected in the event browser.
Once you have added a clip to the timeline, you can select it, and press shift-F (match frame) to have it reselected in the event browser. This would let you retro-actively add a keyword or make it a favorite clip.

Are These The Only Ways To Add Effects?

I have only ever used one method of adding effects ...... selecting the clip in the Timeline and getting the effect from the menu.
However, I know you can drag the effect from the Browser and drop it on the clip in the Timeline.
It is also possible to select a clip in the Browser and add an effect from the menu.
But is it possible (or not) to add an effect from the Browser to a clip in the Browser? I don't think it is but wanted to check.
Is there any other technique for adding effects to single clips?

Hi(Bonjour) Ian!
Yep, use paste attributes-->filters...
You can replace the content for a clip already filtered too.
But you can't drag effect from browser to clip in browser.

Import & add effects automatically??

Creating a large slide show...approx 300 images. Is there a
way I can import and or add effects to these image automatically?
More specifically, I want to have each of these 300 images
fade in and fade out rather quickly. The images will be the same
size...Positioning can be random....there can be more than one
image on the screen at a time.
Any ideas? ??....any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

yes... make a duplicateMovieClip and put every image in
clips... or...
you can make a particular number of clips and rotate images
through them...
example: you have clip1, cli2, clip3 ... clip5
and images are loaded like
for(i=1;i<=5;i++){
eval"(clip"+i).loadMovie("imagesFolder/image"+i+".jpg");
that will load image1, 2... 5 into clips clip1, 2... 5
you can do more than that
// define theArray
firstImage = 9; // this is the start image number
for(i=0;i<5;i++){
theArray
= firstImage+i;
for(i=1;i<=5;i++){
eval"(clip"+i).loadMovie("imagesFolder/image"+theArray+".jpg");
or something like that
You have just an ideea... you can make it more complicate
theArray means theArray[i ] ;) the forum writes it like

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

Add effects to video does not work

I have a motorola ROKR E6 I am able to use it as a webcam in ichat on my mac mini. But when I try to add effects to it iChat says connection problem. I tried this on photo booth as soon as I launch Photo Booth while ROKR is connected Photo Booth crashes. But if the ROKR in not connected it does not crash. Is this problem with my iChat or is the problem with ROKR E6?

IS the Logitech camera in either of these two tables
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/configs.html
If so on the right does it say it needs a Mac Driver (macam or ioxperts or possibly branded from Logitech)
Or does it says it will work with the Mac OS after 10.4.9 ?
IF it needs a driver have you installed it ?
This will allow at least iMovie to see the camera.
This is because iMovie can see many formats of Video signal.
iChat can only see DV imput (or converted imput from certain USB cameras)
When the camera is a USB one it will fall into two categories.
1) the Newer UVC (USB Video Class ) Compliant cameras that the Mac OS 10.4.9 and above can use in all apps
2) those that are not USB Video Class compliant that need a driver.
The for iChat to see the second group you also need the iUSBCam utility as well as the Mac Driver.
Are you talking about the Logitech or the Mobil phone camera ?

Cant add effects to text in Premiere CS6

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to add noise to some text in Premiere Pro 6 but no luck, I used CS5 before this and all was fine, I could just drag effects onto the text and all was fine.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it add effects to still, or default roll? Do things work differently in CS6?
Thanks for the help!

Well...exactly what are you doing?

Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

Hi everyone,
I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
Many thanks.

Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
I think you get the idea
Hope that helps

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

Greetings -
Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have. I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means. I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip. If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip? I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Andy
