Adjust Volume Envelopes of Multiple Clips at Once? Is this Possible?

I really need to be able to reset all my volume envlopes back to zero, but can't figure out how to do this. Is it possible? If not, I definitely want to request this feature.
I brought my levels info from FCP and no longer want it. The only way I can seem to get ride of it is to go to each clip individuallly and awkwardly adjust it back to zero - either that, or I
have to export my OMFs all over again and request not to bring in volume infor from FCP, and then start from scratch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is this overall clip gain, on clip envelope settings (yellow line) or volume automation envelopes?
If it is the on clip envelope then if you can see a keyframe marker (little grey diamond) right click on it and from the drop down menu select Select All Keyframes. Then hitting Delete will set them all back to 0dB.

How do you apply an EQ filter to multiple clips at once?

i need to EQ a VO and rather than apply the filter to each clip serparately, is there a way to apply one filter to multiple clips at once?
thanks
carl

apply your eq effect to one of the clips and adjust settings as required, then select every other clip that you want to apply this eq to, and then drag and drop the effect (from the viewer) onto one of those selected clips ... it will apply to all those selected.
another way, if its the only effect on the clip, would be to apply and adjust the effect, select the clip with the applied effect and press cmd-c to copy, then select all the other clips you want to add the eq to and press opt-v to paste attributes ... in the window select audio filters (only)

? Flash CS4, Is it possible to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once?

Hi,
I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.
If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!
Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)
Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
Is there any way to do this?
I'm new to Flash so, thanks in advance for your patience with me!

Thanks! I had a feeling. It's nice to have the answer. Oh well, now I can get back to work and not waste any more time with that part of the puzzle. You've been very helpful and I'm sure your answer is correct. Wish I knew how to rate your answer even higher. Thanks again!

Changing volume in multiple clips at once?

CMD OPT L to enter a numeric value either relative to the current level or absolute level

Change audio levels/pan on multiple clips at once?

Hey folks, any idea if there's a simple speedy way to change the audio level or pan of multiple source clips at once? Not adding a filter etc but just going into clip and making the change, doing these manually one by one right now and would love to find a batch way to do it.
any help appreciated.
cheers, J

Select the level and pan criteria you want on one clip; ctrl+click and select copy. Highlight all of the clips you want to change and then ctrl+click one of the clips and choose Paste Attributes. Select Audio Levels and Pan and all of your selected clips will have the same levels as the original one.
You can also select a number of clips, select from the pull down menu Modify>Levels, and there you can adjust the levels of your audio for all of the clips selected.

Move multiple clips at once

I often have to move multiple layers of clips or still images and keep their position relative to each other. In AE and in PS I can select multiple layers and drag their position around freely, but in Premiere Pro, I can only drag one layer at a time. Bouncing to AE is not a solution for me because everything I work with needs to be timed with multiple layers of audio at all times. Nesting is not a solution for me because I need to be able to adjust each layer independently as well. This is a feature I would use (and did use in FCP) dozens of times every day! I really need this. Any chance it's coming in a future update?

Hi Chris,
Hi Kevin, I resurrected this old thread today so I'm not sure if the original poster is still around but thanks for the replies.
Sure, no problem.
The After Effects work around is quite long winded for what seems like a very simple task, but I do appreciate your point about how FCP was designed differently from the beginning.
Indeed, it really seems that way from the outset, but AE launches really fast these days. You can set up these kinds of comps very quickly and be back in Premiere Pro in no time. Remember how Motion and FCP used to work together? I think of it in the same way.
Sure it would be better if Premiere Pro had all the goodies FCP had (like this feature), but it's a totally different application and so you may have to adjust your expectations.
I'm sure it's not the case of just changing a couple of lines of code in Premiere, unfortunately! Hopefully the "multiple clip parameter editing" and "horizontal/vertical lock" features can be implemented in the future.
That's often the case, but the question is then "when would we have the time to write and test that code when there are 800 priorities ahead of it?" The key is feature requests. The more we get for any one feature, the faster it rises to the top of the list of priorities.
If anyone else would like these please submit feature requests! http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
You have the right idea. Thanks!

Adjust white balance for multiple images at once?

Is this possible to adjust the white balance for multiple images at the same time?
Or adjust the exposure for that matter?

Of course, this is similar to the question you asked in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3964192#3964192
except use White Balance instead of Exposure. For others who might be wondering the same thing:
1) Set the White Balance for one image.
2) Select all of the images you want to copy the White Balance to.
3) Type "O" to initiate the Lift & Stamp HUD
4) Click on the image with the White Balance you want to copy with the with the L&S up arrow.
5) In the L&S HUD uncheck all the checkboxes except Adjustments.
6) Click on the disclosure triangle to the left of Adjustments. If there are other adjustment settings besides White Balance listed, select them and delete them with the delete key.
7) Once all you have is Adjustments White Balance in the L&S HUD, then click the "Stamp Selected Images" button in the L&S HUD.

Delete the space between multiple clips, at once, on the timeline?

Is there a way to delete the space between multiple clips on the timeline with one click?
I trim clips on the timeline, so I can have a couple hundred clips with space between on the timeline. Is there a way to delete all the spaces between the clips at once?
Right now I have to ripple delete the space between each clip, big hassle and a lot of key strokes. Is there a better faster way to trim clips in general? Or delete the spaces on the timeline?

I have not used the source monitor much. Can I use the sourse monitor to make a lot of cuts "clips" out of one big clip? Say I want to take the highlights out of a long wedding ceremony? Or do I need to do this one the timeline. Edit clips on the timeline is very intuitive to me and I can do it fast, except for all the spaces betweent the clips.
Absolutely ( and I wouldnt do it any other way because it is designed for ease and speed)
Try it:
1.Target a Video and Audio track in the timeline
2. Place the long source file in the Source monitor.
3. Locate the first highlight and Set In and Out Points ( KBD Shortcut "I' and "O")
4.Then Insert it to the timeline ( KBD "," )
Note: there are a number of ways of sending the selection to the timeline (eg.Insert / Overlay buttons, drag it to the Program Monitor, drag direct to the timeline). You can also take video only, audio only, both. Darg options have modifier keys for insert / overlay ripple-ing
Back to the source monitor (step 2) and mark next highlight selection....repeat steps...etc.....
Ensure your CTI (playhead) is always at the end of the last clip in the timeline. KBD short cut "End" and you will have no gaps to deal with.

16:9 to 4:3, multiple clips at once

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to find a way for going from 16:9 to 4:3 on many clips at once. I have a long piece with 16:9 interspersed throughout. Doing one clip at a time is becoming tedious.
Thanks,
Brian

Editing is tedious. Whoever told you different is lying.
BUT...this can be done. Change one clip then select it and hit APPLE-C. Highlight all the others that you want to modify and hit OPTION-V. This will paste the attributes of the first clip onto the rest. A box of the options you want to paste will pop up. Choose BASIC MOTION.

Updating same logging info to multiple clips at once - possible?

I'd like to select a group of clips and update the scene information at once. Is this possible?

Select the clips and use Modify>Levels. Or the keyboard Control-brackets to go up and down.

How to lengthen multiple clips at once

I'm working on a project that has seven tracks of video.
And every time i need to align all the tracks exactly the same length i have to
separately stretch each clip with the mouse.
I know there's quick way to make all seven tracks the same length with
just one click. Okay, maybe two clicks. Can someone tell me please?
Also, if I have a dip to color at the end of each of the seven clips on the seven tracks, do i need to remove each effect before I can lengthen the all the clips?
that seems is a very time consuming way to do it, and I 'm sure there's got to be a way to do that with a couple of clicks too.
thanks in advance!

okay, i tried it and it works.
However, you still have to do one clip at a time.
Isn't there a way to extend the seven clips at once?
also, I have dissolves at the end of each of the seven clips,
however, the extend doesn't work with dissolves at the end.
I can't really select the end of a clip with a dissolve in it.
But I tried it anyway, and hit the "e" key, but nothing happened.
So, the extend edit works fine, but shouldn't there be a way to
extend more than one clip at the same time? and not have to take out
the dissolves one at a time, in order to do an extend?
Or.. maybe I'm missing something?
thanks!

Turning volume down on multiple clips

Quickie, I hope, I have over 100 clips on the timeline. I would like to turn down the volume on all of the clips at the same time. Is this possible and how?
Thanks!

Select the clips, Cmd-A, press Cmd-Opt-L to load the Levels dialog.

How do I move multiple clips at once in the project rather than one a time?

I know how to cut and then paste to move one clip within the project to a new place within the project, but how do I move a group all at once rather than one at a time?

This did not help and that did not work. I had already tried that Holding down either the command key does "highlight" multiple items but then you cannot move those items to a new spot.

Joining/adjusting the properties of multiple clips

In the timeline I have a short video clip I would like to play and then immediately after play it in reverse. I can copy and paste, then reverse the 2nd clip, but now I'd like to change the speed of both of those so that the first starts and the second ends at two audio markers.
Firstly can I make them into one clip, so that I can change the properties?
If not make them into one can I change the properties of both clips at the same time, ie changing the speed/duration?
And then thirdly can I change the speed/duration of it/them to fit to the audio markers without having to mentally work out how many frames they need to last?
Confusing? Hope you can help...

Yes, if you are not concerned about maintaining a timecode link with the original files.
Mark an in point at the start of the first clip and an outpoint at the end of the second (reversed) clip and export the two clips as a quicktime movie.
Once the export completes, import that newly made movie into your project.
Now both clips have been made into one clip.
Edit that imported quicktime on to your timeline, replacing the original clips.
Determine the duration between the two audio markers. Note that duration.
Control-click on the clip you just edited onto the timeline and select Change speed . . .
enter the duration you noted and now the speed will be adjusted to fill that duration.
Hope this helps.

View multiple clips at once

Hi,
I have two clips in the timeline, one on top of another, and I would like to see both of them playing in separate viewers at the same time. I went to the menu Windows-Arrange-Multiple Edits, but cannot get both tracks to play. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance
Robert.

Two ways to go about this:
1. If you have FCP 5 you can create a multiclip edit. Somewhat complex to set up but works well. Read through the steps in the manual (can be found under Help on the Menu bar)
2. Or you can scale each clip to 50% and arrange them so they are both seen in the canvas. Once the edit is complete, remove the scale attribute and the remaining material will return to full scale. (as Loyed256 noted above)
have fun.
