Advise regarding replacing video clip

This is a repost as I accidentally posted this enquiry under FAQ.
I'm doing a documentary. Accordingly, I videod someone introducing part of the documentary's subject. I now want to replace (drop in) some of the visual clips with other visual scenes. However, I don't want to erase the audio track that was recorded at the same time, and would like to use as part of the narration. This is probably quite simple, but after a few days trying to navigate tutorials, I guess I might have overlooked how to do these basic editing steps in PE8.
Thanks for any advise! David

David,
Here are some Muvipix discussions on L and J Cuts:

One of the best descriptions of L and J cuts that I have run across is Curt Wrigley's discussion in his Adobe Classroom in a Book for Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Press.

Replacing video clip causes project to become corrupted.

I'm not sure if this would be considered a bug or not, but I'll explain what happened. I'm using CS4 with all Adobe software mentioned below.
I'm working on an animation project that has foreground characters created using Anime Studio Pro software and backgrounds created in 3d Studio Max. I then use After Effects to composite the two and add effects. Out of After Effects I'm rendering uncompressed AVI files. I then bring those into Premiere Pro to edit the whole thing and add the dialogue, music and sound effects. I sometimes go ahead and include the dialogue audio in the individual clips for reference, but I only end up using the video in Premiere.
Sometimes after I get a shot completely finished we notice a problem, or the client wants a change, etc. I have to go back and redo the composite in After Effects. I usually just export over the clip that was already done (and already loaded into Premiere Pro) and the only time this seems to be a problem is if I do it while Premiere is still open (usually causes it to freeze).
But I ran into a big problem the other day where one of the original clips I replaced had some audio in it, and I accidently forgot to include the audio in the one I replaced it with. At first there didn't seem to be any problem, but when I shut down Premiere and tried to open the project back up, it wouldn't finish loading. It took me a while to figure out what the problem was. I ended up going back to an autosave, but if I opened it up and then saved it, the saved project woudn't finish loading any more. Even if I then moved the file that was causing the problem to a different directory, the project still wouldn't open.
I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has had this or a similar problem, or am I the only one who ever replaces clips on the hard drive that are already loaded into a Premiere project? I'm used to After Effects which has no problem with you doing this, you just have right-click on the file you've replaced and select "Reload". I guess I was just expecting Premiere to not have a problem with this as well.

Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr. Give the
modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
project. Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
timeline to replace the clip instance.
If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
the same thing.
This important rule applies in Encore as well.

Replacing a photo or video clip

Hello,
What is the easiest way of replacing a photo or video clip with a different photo or video clip on the timeline without messing up the overall sequence or length of the video?

Hi(Bonjour)!
You can do a replace edit. Place the playhead at the start point of the clip you want to replace in timeline. Open the new clip in viewer (with this playhead at the in point or start point). Drag the new clip on the edit ovelay in canvas to the replace option. This process will work only and only if there is enough material in the new clip to cover the old one. The 3 edit points method can be used to do a more precise job. See the manual.

Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted.
I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance!

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

Remove a logo from a video clip with content aware fill?

I know you can remove logo in photos using content aware fill, but you can't do it to a video clip. You can only do it to a frame, but you can't apply it to the entire video. I know photoshop is not a video editing software, but having this sort of feature makes sense for photoshop users especially with content aware fill.

I'm a career software architect engineer of 35 years, and I have to side with Howard on this one.
Like Howard, I feel you're thinking about this way too simplistically. Trying to work out what best to fill a part of an image with in 3 dimensions (x, y, and time) and have it look believable almost boggles the mind, especially thinking of a general case (your logo example is far to simplistic in itself). The task is far from a simple looping repeat of what is being done 2 dimensionally on a still frame. Frankly, it's more likely related to what's done with CGI, where scenes are modeled in 3D (4D actually) so certain elements can be replaced believably.
Think about it... If CAF is presently replacing part of an image with something it finds through some heuristics in another part of the image, and the stuff in that part of each frame is changing - and it would, because this is video, not still imagery - then it will select differently every time. What makes you think it would select something that even resembles what it selected for another frame? What you'd end up with is a frame by frame mishmash that would just make the outline of the selection obvious.
Regarding CAF applied to individual frames, then your finding the result isn't coming out as expected in all the frames of the video (e.g., when you're testing this concept) may indicate a problem with the way you're using the tool, or possibly even a bug. You might want to describe step by step what you're doing and show the result you're [not] getting.

Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

TINA54
Thanks for the reply.
Some general comments...
Regarding:
THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them.Iphoto9.4.3. This no longer works. I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop. I am not sure what has changed. Any ideas?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

Merge Audio & Video Clips.

Okay i have 2 clips.
One is the Camera video + Audio
the other is the Audio from a boom microphone.
I have them both in a bin, but because they started at different times they are out of sync. I can place the video clip into the sequence, and then replace the audio of that with the audio from the boom mic. But then i want to edit them, and cut them up. Is there any way to 'merge' the boom mics audio with the video clip, all fully synced and place it back into a bin as a 3rd clip?
Adam.

Maybe I am missing something here, but would not plugging the boom
into the XLR on the camera and disconnecting any other mic have been
the better approach?
Back
in the cine days, we recorded all Audio with a separate Nagra, that was
synced to the cameras, and then transfered to 16mm or 35mm tape, that
was locked in sync, and cut with the film. Slates were not yet digital,
but worked perfectly.
I
will assume that with a "feature film," you slated every take, right?
You'll have no issues with the syning, as you have the slate to cue you.
If I have missed something very important, then pardon my interruption,
Hunt
I assume the first sentence was for the creator of the thread, but I'll address it in regard to our project. We didn't use this method for several reasons, the biggest being that we were running several audio sources (wireless lavs on the actors and two booms in the room) and ran them to a multitrack recorder. I would also site wanting to minimize cables running to the camera (more mobility, less cable wrangling) as another major reason to not use the camera for the audio capture.
In regard to the slate, of course we slated every take (digital slate).
The issue isn't that we don't have something to "visually" cue us. The issue (and it's a major one), is that Premiere doesn't allow you to sync video with audio using time code (which both Final Cut and AVID do)... In Premiere you have to do it manually by eye (syncing wav forms to video). On top of that, the only way to save linked audio and video is in a timeline or nested clips (ridiculously ineffiecient when syncing thousands of files).
You have to either export each linked clip as a new clip with audio and video, or create a nested clip with audio and video.
You SHOULD (as all other professional video programs do) be able to sync audio and video using the time code, and then have the program "remember" where they are synced (the video would simply have the audio locked to it at that point).
Having to lay out every clip in a tineline and either access it from said timeline (rather than a bin file) or create new nested clips for each and every clip (thus cluttering your bins and workspace) is incredibly ineffecient and time consuming.
Again, Adobe REALLY needs to address this issue.

Personalised Named Video - Want to merge unique video clip with generic clip, hundreds of times to produce many video files. How do I automate this?

Hi,
I hope the community could advise me on the following challenge.
So I'm looking to produce hundreds of personalised videos. Filming them all sounds daunting enough but editing them all sounds a nightmare so I'm wondering if there is any form of automation that can help me do the following:
VIDEO CLIP #1a - "Dear John thank you for watching this video, I'd like to explain how our services can help John Ltd" - specific to individual so hundreds of these edited, only a few seconds in length.
VIDEO CLIP #1b - "Dear Dave thank you for watching this video, I'd like to explain how our services can help Dave Ltd" - same again
VIDEO CLIP #2 - "We have a range of options that suit...." and so forth - Generic video, not specific to individual.
How do I merge #1a and #2 to make one file, then #1b and #2 to make another, hundreds of times. So the end result is hundreds of individual video files?
Is this possible?
Running Adobe After Effects CC v13.0.2.3
Thanks
Alistair.

Let me start by saying that it is entirely possible that this is an editing job as Dave LaRonde and Szalam have said. But I have a thought I would like to pass along.
It's possible to use expressions to read Comp and Layer names as well as arrays inside the expressions. This solution allows you to set up the Final Pitch Video and then have the text change dynamically as you duplicate it for what you described as 1a, 1b, 1c, etc . Create a folder for your final pitch videos and make a new comp named something like "Final Pitch Video 1".
Create a precomposition with your Video #2 content in outside the Finals folder. Then layout your Final Pitch Video 1 comp as follows:
1) Intro Text Layers with all the animation first (Make sure to have a separate layer for Name and Business)
2) Then add the Video #2 Precomp (Leave this as a precomp so you can edit it at any point and not have to replace it in your hundreds of videos) If this is just a video clip, you don't necessarily need to us a precomp. I'm just guessing you'll want to be able to easily update it at some point in the future.
After you have your text layout and your separate layers for Name and Business, put these expressions on your Name layer in the Source Text expression field:
// NAMES LAYER
try {
compName = thisComp.name;
compNum = compName.substr(compName.length -1, 1);
theNames = ["blank", "Bill Jones", "Tom Riddle", "Frank Frankenstein", "etc."]; // Add your names here
theNames[compNum]
} catch(err) {
"No More Entries"
And then on the Business Text Layer in the Source Text expression field:
// BUSINESS LAYER
try {
compName = thisComp.name;
compNum = compName.substr(compName.length -1, 1);
theBusiness = ["blank", "Jones Construction", "AA Plumbing", "Frank's Hot Dogs", "etc."]; // Add your businessess here
theBusiness[compNum];
} catch(err) {
"No More Entries"
At this point the name and business text layers use the comp number to read the arrays for each text layer. For example:
The text layers would work this way each time you duplicate the Final Pitch Video. Either start with "Final Pitch Video 0" or leave the first place in the array "blank" since arrays start counting at zero.
COMP NAME                         Name from Array                    Business from Array
Final Pitch Video 1                    Bill Jones                              Jones Construction
Final Pitch Video 2                    Tom Riddle                            AA Plumbing
Final Pitch Video 3                    Frank Frankenstein                Frank's Hot Dogs
Final Pitch Video 10                  No More Entries                    No More Entries
Let me know if you have any questions on this! I don't know your exact situation, but I hope it helps.

Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

Evaluating Adobe Premier. Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
Objectives:
1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
3) Insert menu markers
4) Burn DVD
Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
First Try: NO AUDIO.
The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording. After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer. Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista. In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive! So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files. Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting). Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8. Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize". Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD. PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!). The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players. Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
Second Try: Capture VOB directly
Forget the camera. Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317. I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable). And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering". DO I WAIT? In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?!
Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above). It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
Is this AVI conversion even a good idea? How would I get my clips back??
Bottomline. My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player. However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
DV-AVI imported into PE7.
This should also work for PE8.
Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
(PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
Other options to try:
Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
(Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
Post results, if any of this works for you...
Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

Hi there,
I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
MY CONTEXT
So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
MY PROBLEMS
1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
MY QUESTIONS
PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
OR if I say that another way
How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless :-/

It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

How do I move video clips to specific points on a music track in iMovie?

I am trying to make a lip synch video and need to move my video clips to specific points on a musci track so that the words are in time with people singing - does anyone know how to do this? At the moment, I only seem able to put the clips in one after the other...

Hi
IMovie is Video clip oriented - meaning that Audio can not be put in first and video/photos added later.
So to do this I use black photos that I fill up the Video with first
Then Add audio
Then add Video/photos by Cutaway function or exact replacement (in time).
This is so much easier in any version of FINALCUT where one can build Audio first then create the video ontop of this.

How do I simply replace a clip in this situation...

I have a video clip in my timeline that has been trimed at head and tail. It has a couple of pieces of audio attached to it. I want to replace it with a newer version of the clip witout disrupting my timeline. None of the Replace options put it in the same place, at the same length, with the same in and out points:
• Replace - Starts new clip at 0:00 and makes it longer, pushing down the timeline.
• Replace from Start - Starts new clip at 0:00 rather than the inpoint of the clip being replaced
• Replace from End - Lines up last frame of new clip with the edit rather than the last frame of the clip being replaced.
• Replace and add to Audition does a combination of the above.
So I wrote down the in point, used Replace From Start, then tried to shift the clip to the right place with the Trim tool. But this now shifts the audio clips along with it, so they must be shifted back.
What am I missing? There must be a better way to do this.

Thanks for your patience Tom. It is confusing to explain in words.
I dare to say, I understand what you try to accomplish, and where your problem is:
you have a clip in your Project.
in the Project, it is not the whole 'raw' clip from the Event, just a selection.
the selection is 60sec ahead of the beginning in the Event.
you now have a 2nd clip, which has the same length in the Event lib as clip#1
what you want is, that FCPX does the same selection in the Event as in clip#1 and replace the content of #1 by #2.
savy?
all YOU have to do, is simply select manually an IN-point in the Event/clip#2 and then follow advice given before (drag onto #1/replace)
the OUT-point will be calculated by FCPX (3point edit)
beat by the minute, too late ... the Master was faster!
