All new clips disabled

Hi, I am new to FCP X but not FCP. I am working on a project trying to learn this program and I have done something (stupid) and now the clips that existed in my timeline are all active, but anything new I bring down from the event library is disabled and greyed out. I cannot find what I did to make this happen. Please help? Thanks.

Hi and thanks. Screen shot is attached. Because of your post, I tried to finalize the audition, which was not an option for me, but soling worked. Now I have to look up what that is!! Thank you.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
*Read the information on the above page
*Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

I can't play yahoo news clips

I can play video clips from youtube, facebook, etc., but when I click on a video news clip on my yahoo home page, it tries, but does not play. Thank you for any help, I have tried all that I could find!

The player uses Flash video in the case of the ABC News, and QuickTime for the CNN Sports. There's a slight glitch when playing QuickTime in that you have to pause and play the video for it to start updating correctly. I can't easily tell what codec they're using, the video is save disabled, but I suspect you have a QuickTime that is recent enough to play the video.
For the ABC News clips, QuickTime shouldn't be involved at all. Make sure you haven't set QuickTime to play SWF content in your browser, because whether it's Sorenson Spark or On2 VP6 video, QuickTime won't cope with playing Flash movies that contain those.
Having said that, if the video is really FLV you might be able to play it using QuickTime by installing the Perian component (http://perian.org/). But I think that it would be much safer to just let Flash play Flash content.

An event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing.

an event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name in the browser just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing. After control clicking the event it shows all the media that has been previously imported. But it does not allow anything to be done to the event including deleting. This showed up at the beginning of a normal import session. This is fortunately the back-up evant.

Did you perhaps mess with the contents of the library in the Finder?

Where is the import option for "Start a new clip at each scene break" in iMovie 2013?

I am currently in the process of importing several mini-DV tapes via firewire into iMovie 2013. I have the most recent version of iMovie and am using a Sony Handycam to facilitate the transfer. The problem I am having is that when I hit import, iMovie splits what is supposed to be a single scene into multiple scenes ranging anywhere from a second to 5 minutes. I am left with several scene chunks that I cannot combine into one. I did a little research and found that iMovie is probably deinterlacing my scenes as it mistakes them for multiple scene breaks. In the older iMovie options, all I had to do was to go to "Preferences" -> "Import" -> then deselect "Start a new clip at each scene break". However, this option doesn't appear to be available in iMovie 2013. Is there a way I can force iMovie 2013 to import a single scene from my mini-DV camcorder without breaking it into multiple clips? Thanks!

1st : this is the wrong forum, this is iMovie for ipod/iphone and ipad ( iOS is the OSX mobile Operating System )
2nd : iMovie 11 is the current OSX version. iMovie 06 was the last of its kind, all newer, including iMovie 09 have complete new workflow, so functions of 06 are gone and have replaced with others.
Please go to the correct forum to find specific answers.

If connect iPad to my TV every time the clip is finished I have to disconnect and reconnect the iPad for new clip playing.

1. Why don't you purchase it from Apple? I'd be wary with eBay sellers - and, after all, Apple posts their stuff everywhere, even if you live in a country without a localized Apple store webpage or local (physical) Apple stores.
2. when it comes to adapters / cables like these, NEVER purchase ANYTHING non-Apple-manufactured! Most of the cheap(er) knock-offs don't work! That is, don't try to save on going for a cheaper alternative - it most likely won't work.

HDV batch capture is making new clips...

thanks for watching...
i have imported batch lists into FCP with name, media start, media end, reel and log note just as the FCP manual instructs. they import fine and i have them all in their own bins.
i batch captured a few tapes to day and i noticed that FCP is making new clips at times. for instance i'll have a clip "dogs" in the original batch list. after the batch capture there will be "dogs" and "dogs -1" the starting time code of "dogs" and the ending timecode of "dogs -1" are the original start and end of the clip. so, FCP has spit this clip in two for some reason. why is that?
i thought it might have to do with the setting "make new clip on Start/stop" thats listed in the clip settings tab of the log/capture window. so i made sure this was unclicked and then tried another batch , also making sure to uncheck "use original clip settings" in the batch window. but, the problem still persists.
i have 30 tapes to digitize and i'd prefer the clips matched the batch lists. any ideas i can try to solve this problem?
take care,
max

Is it a new media drive?
how is your media drive formatted? highlight the drive on the desktop and press command(apple)+i to get info...
Where it says 'Format' it should read Mac OS Extended... does yours say FAT 32 by any chance?
FAT32 is a different format that can be read by PCs and Macs... it can only store file sizes of 2Gb, so has the knock-on effect of causing FCP to break captures into smaller chunks.
If your drive is FAT32 you need to re-format it using Disc Utility. When you do this, you will lose everything on that drive, so back it up if possible.
If your drive is formatted correctly, post back with your media set-up, ie - what drives you use, how is your capture scratch configured etc.

Insert new clip cuts and splits the music track

Hi all FCE4 users!
My question is regarding when inserting a new clip on the timeline that has audio to it and when doing the insertion, the existing audiotrack on channel A3 & A4 are split and in between them on channel A1 and A2 the video audio is put.
How do I make this not happen?
I want the audio tracks just to mix, or in this case, I actually do not want ANY sound from the videoclips that I insert, because I am making sort of a music video.
Thankful for any kind of helpful answer!
Sincerely,
--Andreas B

Deselect audio to A1/A2 so the audio isn't edited into the timeline, and click on the lock buttons for tracks A3/A4.

Premiere Elements saved my project with a hue/ over saturation on all my clips in the project

I'm a first time user of Premiere elements 12 and my first project was finished without a hitch but when I published the video the end result has over saturation/hue in the entire video. I go back in to see what happened to the project and when I reopened the project it seems all my clips have been altered as well. I have not touched anything in the adjust tab or applied any effects. However the thumbnails on the timeline bar under quick view have the correct colors. Does anyone know how to revert this effect, check to see if I accidentally hit something or have a possible solution?
Thanks for your help.

I believe that SG gave you the key to your issue when he wrote
Have you applied any effects -- including Auto Fix -- to your clips? If you open the Adjust panel, do you see a little green dot on any of hte Adjustment options, indicating that an effect has been applied? (Since the clip looks fine on your timeline but not in the Monitor panel, the indication is that you've applied an effect or adjustment.)
Pretty sure his "Auto Fix" was meant to be "Smart Fix". To prove or disprove "Smart Fix" as the factor here, please try the following quick test...
Open a new project
Go to Expert workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General and make sure that there is a check mark next to the option
"Show all do not show again messages".
Then import from the hard drive one of these images that have developed a purple sky displayed in the Edit area monitor only.
When you drag the image to the Timeline, do you see the following pop up?
If you do not get that pop up, then end of idea. If you do, then
first put a check mark next to "Do not show again" and then click the No button.
Moving forward, you should not be getting any more purple skies unless you want them and create them
with one of Premiere Elements effects on your own.
Please let SG know if his suggestion was on target for the Smart Fix involvement in your issue.
Thanks.

Relinking new clips distorts image

Hello Final Cut Wizards!
I have a project that I'm working on for a client, and the previous editor did several things incorrectly which I am trying to fix. The timeline sequence settings didn't match the clip settings, and the footage was never converted from H.264 mov to Pro Res. I have converted all the footage to prores and made a new timeline sequence that matches the converted clips. My hope is to not have to rebuild the entire timeline from scratch. When I erase some of the old clips I can relink their corresponding new converted clips. HOWEVER, when I do this, either the aspect ratio of the new clip is messed up, (ie shows up smaller in the canvas and viewer, or with black bars on the top and bottom, and sometimes the video itself is flattened in its aspect ratio.) and it needs to be rendered constantly (just like when the original h.264 clips were in use).
Does anyone have any ideas on why this could be, or how I can still use the sequence project plan without rebuilding it?
Thanks!!

Hi MtD,
Thanks for your attention and help!
The first editor had put the 1920x1080 h264 clips into a sequence set to 720x480.
The client has given me footage that is both 23.98 fps and 29.97 fps,all 1920X1080 h264. now that it's converted it's all apple pro res 1920x1080 (some in 23.98, some in 29.97). When I put one of the new converted clips into a new sequence, I clicked yes, make the sequence settings the same as the clip settings.
I am confused as to why it says HDTV 1080i becuase I'm fairly certain in mpeg stream clip I selected 1920 x 1080 16:9. Would the 1080i be causing problems?
Would the differing frame rates? It doesnt seem like these should affect the aspect ratio?
Here is a screen shot of a clip that I put into the project file on the new timeline with the new converted clip. It is smaller than the full canvas and also distorted in it's aspect ratio.
I'm confused (And sleepy!)
Thanks in advance for any further guidance!

Start New clip a scene break

I am importing HD footage into IMovie HD I have selected start new clip at scene break but all it does is import as one huge file and does not start a new clip at each scene break. I know the importing has to be done at 1/4 speed because of my older mac G4. Is this the reason it does not start a new clip at scene break? Is there another setting besides in preferences I need to adjust?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
And there is no sceen-detection program in the Mac environment at all to my knowledge.
Rumour says that there is such a program on the PC-platform. But how this is done
and how many clips that a panoramic (panning) recording would split up into is
a bit of my curiosity.

Firefox becomes very slow with Yahoo All-New Mail

Problems with the Yahoo! All-New Mail version: Everything was working fine, but since the last two Firefox updates I began noticing that Yahoo was consuming a lot of CPU (it varies from 35% to 40% and is on the top list of programs CPU consumption) and the experience of navigation becomes not so pleasant - slowness. If I quit Firefox and reopen it, becomes faster, but after about 30 min slowness / CPU high consumption start again. Then I had to come back to Yahoo Mail Classic version and everything works fine and less CPU consumed. Is it only me experiencing this? Is it a Yahoo Mail issue? Is there a solution? (Macbook Pro early 2011/ Mac OS X 10.7.4 / Firefox 12.0) Thanks!

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker.

Cutting into new clips without using " Transition effects"

What is the best way to cut into new clips in a smooth fashion without having to use a Cross Dissolve, etc. I am trying to create a more matter of fact experience with this project.
TV productions successfully go from clip to clip without transitions.... What magic is behind solid swithcing between clips in the timeline without using transitions ?
Thanks !

I have just noticed that you are talking about rescuing a current project.
My comments about cutaways still apply, but whether you will be able to shoot some "extra" footage now will depend on the nature of your film. Most things are possible with a little ingenuity.
If your film was about the first Mars landings and you can't get there to re-shoot, all you need to do is to take a trip to Australia where they have some scenery EXACTLY like the Martian landscape - indeed there is a classified US base on the edge of it!
Alternatively, and cheaper, you could shoot domestic footage and whenever the astronaut was about to have a jump-cut, you could have a flashback to his home life.
So with a little imagination most problems usually can be overcome.

PS.I do NOT subscribe to conspiracy theories and would never suggest that the martian landscapes NASA filmed were actually shot in the antipodes.

Mail sound settings set to None but still receive notification sound for all new mail

My sound settings for new mail are set to Alert Tones: None, Vibrate Only, but I still receive a sound notification for all new mail. Why is my phone not recognizing the setting? I have turned off and back on the phone numerous times hoping that would help, but it has not. How can I make the phone recognize the settings that I have purposefully set?

afhammerC,
So I understand: you have friends whose iPhone 4S's do vibrate when mail is received in silent mode, and no sounds are selected for new mail, but vibrate is selected for silent mode?
Just want to be clear.
My wife has an iPhone 4S 16gb, and it appears she has the same problem as well.
As an aside to the issue, I really wish there was a way to have a timer on the notification center so we could put one, many, or all apps' notfication to sleep during a specific time period (say, during the night). V. annoying to have to disable notifications separately. Would love a way to turn them off between, say, midnight at 6am.

Hi,
6DB will come automatically. Name of the DS will be : 6DB_VIEWNAMEINSOURCESYSTEM.
You cannot create BI 7.0 DS, by default it will be 3.5 DS after that you will have to migrate it manually to BI 7.0
Below is the document:
http://www.erphowtos.com/guides-a-tutorials/doc_view/979-sap-bw--transferring-data-with-db-connect.html
Below are brief steps:
1. Create a new DB connect Source system(Basis should be able to help you, or connection may already exist)
2. Right click on the source system and select "Additional Functions" -->Select DataBase tables 3.x
3. In the following screen select views or tables...
Rest is very straight forward steps.
Keep few more things in mind ( I always face these issues with DB connect DS)
1. View name should be in CAPITAL LEtteres otherwise you it will not be availble for selection.
2. All the field name should be in CAPITAL LEtters otherwise they will not come to BW.
3. Field lengths in source system should be not me more than 250 ( ideally 60), otherwise they will not come to BW.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Amandeep Sharma
