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.

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.

"Merging" the same clip to create a "movement flow" effect'

Sorry guys, I'm not sure the exact terms to use here but hopefully you'll understand what I'm looking for once I explain it.
I have this short clip of a friend where he 'pretends' he knows martial arts and is doing some 'smooth' Bruce Lee like moves with his hands.
OK, what I'm trying to do is create the effect of having his hands and arms 'flow' in the scene so you can see the 'progression' of the moves.
By 'instinct', what I did was to copy the same clip and put the copy on top of the original, using the Superimpose method. Then I pushed it back just a few frames so that it would be off just a bit.
I then used Composite Mode -> Lighten and kind of got it to work (I've tried all the options in Composite Mode!)
I then went into Effects -> Video Filters -> Matte -> Eight Point Garbage Matte and keyframed the movements so that his head would be 'out of the' distortion that I created.
Well, it 'kind of' worked but it's clear that that when thekeyframe sequence starts you can see the change in the 'lights' (I'm guessing because of Composite->Lighten
So, (thank you for reading this far!) is there a way I can tweak this so that the effect will look 'less amateur'?
Or is there a better way of getting to the results I want (just using FCP)?
Again, thank you in advance for your time and suggestions.
Best regards,
Ismenio

Anchored shot; moving subject.
Are you looking for something like Video Filters/Time/Trails?
Can be done strictly in Final Cut however you have more control over rotoscoping if you send the clip to Motion.
Best,

Color Correction Effect: "Change color to" change more that one color in the same clip(pp Cs4)

Hi all, I have watched and tried some tutorial to achieve this. My question though is how to change more than one color in the same clip. I'm asking because when I tried I had no problem to "color pick" one shade of my (Rock face) and turned it into a natural color picked from a good clip. But I was left with all the other shades to work on and if I repeated the procedure (pick the next destination color to replace) it cancelled my previous change so it seems that I can change only one color... I must be doing something wrong.

Wow! I did play a few other Youtube 3 color correction, but this one is so good and comprehensive. I did also like RGB curves tutorial. I don't know if all this is appropriate for my 1983 VHS clip nearly all green (I probably had the wrong white balance). What I achieved so far is not very good but I think much more watchable than all green! Than You again for this . I do also realise these guys are expert and still they have to use lot trials and errors and various techniques before getting what they want. I do appreciate their generosity to make some of their knowledge available to all of us.

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

timc
I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.
Splitting and Joining Stereo Tracks - Audacity Manual
I am not sure if this is close to what you seek
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/883383
But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).
Thanks.

Problems importing the same clips from diferents cards IMAC and CS5

Hi, I'm having trouble importing my clips recorded in The ex1, I'm using CS5 with an imac, The problem is that when I import the same clips recorded in two cards, the second card comes exactly with what is inside the first card. It does not have what was originally in it, it just copies what was on the first card or vice versa. But the original folder in my drive is intact with the two cards intact. The problem is when I import it to CS5 on IMAC. When i import the video the imac makes a long file with all the clips an puts them together except the clips from the previous card, it shows but with the same video that is in the begining of the second card or the last clip recorded in the second card .I tried to import the clip again from the first card and it comes with the same video from the second card again.

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
How can I have both?

Hi
My first thought is -
Where are the original Audio file ?
If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

Adding several questions on the same slide

Hello everybody! I'm an EFL teacher (English as a Foreign Language) and I'm looking forward to adding more than one question on the same slide. The type of question would be a multiple choice, but I don't want them to be spread on different slides, since students are meant to take a listening quiz, so sliding back and forth results some trouble when answering and focusing on the track. Besides, I also need to know how to add an audio track, but have it played just three times and then stop it. Is there any script or so to do it?
Defintely, I couldn't go anywhere to find answers to my issues,
Ron

Captivate's default quiz questions only allow you to have one question per slide.
Since you cannot really scroll a Captivate slide as you can a web page, there isn't usually enough room on a slide for more than one question anyway.
You may need to revise your approach to accommodate the limitations of this format.
The easiest way to add an audio track is to have it added at the slide level so that when the slide loads the audio plays. Repeat the same audio three times as part of the same clip.
However, you can also play audio by adding it to the On Success caption of an interactive object (button, shape button, or click box) or alternatively you could trigger the audio to play when the object is clicked by executing an Advanced Action > Play Audio File. If you set the object to have infinite attempts and add the action as a Standard Action instead of just via the Actions in the Properties tab, then you should be able to execute the action multiple times without progressing the timeline. If you want to prevent the audio from being executed more than three times, then you'll need to start getting into using Conditional Advanced Actions and tracking variables. More complexity.

Why there's a lenght difference between 24fps and 23,976 fps timelines with the same clip?

I was working on a 23,976fps project and I've tried to import a short animated sequence of 44 tiff frames in my timeline in my Premiere CS5.
I've imported the sequence, interpreted the footage to 23,976fps (as it was rendered in AE) to check it before sending it to a finish house.
First issue. Even if I set the framerate to 23,976, Premiere CS5 shows me 23,98 on interpret footage window. I've assumed it as a rounded number.
When I drag the clip to my 23,976 sequence, the clip shows as 43(!) frames length on info panel. It misses one frame. Putting the sequence over the original video, It really misses a frame.
I decided to make a test. And placed the same clip, interpreted the same way on a 24fps sequence, and the clip shows as 44 frames length on info panel.
How can, the same clip, shows different amount of frames (I'm not talking about time, but simply raw frames), on different timelines? It does not make any sense! If my sequence has 44 frames, It should show as 44 frames independent of the timeline I've imported it. Am I Right?
Just for test, I´ve imported the same sequence on AE, and in it shows as 44 frames on a 23,976 timeline. How can I trust Premiere frame interpreting this way?
Just one more thing. The scene used as base for the AE animation, has 44 frames, and it was measured and cut from a 30s film on the same premiere that is having this weird behavior.
Can anyone explain to me what Just have happened? It´s driving me Crazy!
Thanks in Advance

There's a long and storied history behind the concept of a drop frame tmecode. It traces its origin to early color TV in the USA, and was a way to get rid of artifacting that was visible on B&W TVs when watching the color signal (color subcarrier).
Basically, by having your intermediate timebase set wrong, you were having PPro drop a frame. That's why you saw the mismatch in frame numbers.

How to apply warp stabilization to the same clip used twice in the same timeline

If I use the same source clip in a timeline (say 3 or 4 different sections of the clip by dropping the same clip on the timeline and just trimming it differently) and want to stabilize them all, how do I do that? The first instance of the clip lets me use warp stabilization, but then when I try to apply it to later instances of the same clip in the timeline, it says I can't do that. How do I apply the stabilization to later instances of the same clip in the timeline?
Thanks

After trimming the clip just apply the warp stabiliser to it without copying and pasting. You can't copy and paste the warp stabiliser because it needs to analyse the pixels of each clip everytime its applied.

I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive. Several images of the same clips appear. Is each image a valid clip? Why do I have so many?

I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive. Several images of the same clips appear. Is each image a valid clip? Why do I have so many?

Okay. Trash the stuff on the External Drive.
All Movies is not a place - it's a list. Specifically its a list of all the movies on your Mac. Never interact with anything in iPhoto via these All Movies or All Images lists.
In iPhoto select the Movies you want to move and go File -> Export. Set the Kind: to Original and export from iPhoto to this external drive.
Then once you're sure the export has gone correctly, erase them from iPhoto.

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

>>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
>>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());

Ingesting multiple points of the same clip.

I am trying to find a use for Prelude but so far there is no joy. Is there any way I can ingest a portion of a clip from the thumbnail and then ingest another portion of the same clip. When I try to that I get an error even if I rename the first clip after it has been ingested.

Hi,
To use the "partial ingest" feature in Prelude's ingest panel you will need to enable the "Transcode" option and select a format and preset after you set your IN and oUT points on the thumbnail. Prelude needs to create a new clip for you and by selecting your format/preset Prelude knows exactly what to create for you. Now press the INGEST button. Prelude will send a request to AME to render your new partial clip. When AME is done you should see a new asset appear in your project. You can repeat this operation to generate other partial clips. Prelude will assign unique filenames to each new partial clip.
Thanks,
Michael

Multiple edits from the same clip.

Hi guys,
I have a project which requires a lot of different edits from the same clip.
Is there any way to do this without having to duplicate the same clip each time and then making my new edit?
For instance -
Clip 1 is 20 minutes long.
My first edit is from 1:10 to 1:35.
I then duplicate Clip 1 and make another edit from 2:40 to 3:55.
I'm using Premier CS5.
Thanks,
Dave.

Sub clips are not a general edit way of doing things efficiently.
They are more of a way of creating a bin full of "selects" ( selected clips in a Selects Folder for easy and quick access and review). That is a time consuming process but works well in some situations.
Standard general edit practice is to edit from Source Monitor.
drop Clip into Source Monitor
Mark In and Out point and drop that to the Time line. (many ways to do that Insert/ overlay/ shortcuts etc..)
Next...Move thru and create new In and Out and do the same
continue thru the Source Clip till complete...
Then on the Timeline ( sequence) Tim and work the clips.
Now ...some "learners" edit the source clip in the timeline using Razor Tool...hacking and chopping and deleting and dragging bits of stuff all over the show. Thats in efficient and clunky .

How do I have the same clip playing in reverse and forwards

So essentially when I try to reverse one clip of two of the same clips it reverses both of them instead of just the one I selected. I've tried renaming it too and it didn't work. Thanks so much for your answers!

This happens because multitrack mode in Audition is essentially a very posh file player. If you have a file that plays in one direction, then it's simply not possible for the same file to play backwards at the same time - the engine can't do that! When you think you're playing two separate clips, you almost certainly aren't - this is just two playback instances of essentially the same file/clip.
There is a simple solution though; create a second (physically unique) copy of the clip and place that as the reversed one. Then you can have one clip playing in one direction, and the other clip playing in the opposite one.
