Analyze ALL clips in project for image stabilization

In older versions of iMovie for Mac (I used iMovie '09 until I finally get myself to switch to the recent version) I was able to analyze ALL clips for image stabilization, which took some time but could be accomplished without me sitting in front of my Mac. Now it seems that in iMovie 10 the stabilization feature only works for the selected clip. That means you select it, click the stabilization checkbox and wait and wait and wait. Then you get to make the right setting (percentage) and move on to the next clip, click the checkbox and wait and wait and wait.
I tried selecting all clips with Cmd + A and click the checkbox, and the wheel started to spin. I was already feeling lucky to have found the solution to the afore mentioned problem, but when the wheel stops spinning and I select a random clip, some of them are analyzed but most are not.
Is there any way to have ALL clips analyzed without user interaction?

Welcome to the discussions...
I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.

  • A command to analyze all clips onto which a warp stabilizer has been added?

    Ahoi gente!
    We are working on a 90 minute piece  -and getting through the project manager took time and nerves. Clips are still missing in the collected project created by the project manager...
    Anyway - the real question is: Is there a way to filter the clips in the timeline to only show the ones with a warp stabilizer on it? Or a command to analyze them all?
    Otherwise I have to look through all of the clips and click analyze again....
    Recommendations? Thanks a LOT!

    Hm, I did learn some lessons in all this - but not using an NLE to manage the files...?
    I thought next time we should give unique names to files instead of building up a structure of folders on the external hds, work with proxies, dividing the project in more sub projects more often to increase performance etc.
    But how would you get rid of not used files instead of using the project manager? Manually?

  • When I open my video inspector, the box for image stabilization and shutter roll does not appear.  How do I get it to appear?

    When I open my video inspector and I click the Video button, no options for stabilization and rolling shutter appear.  Is there any way that I can get them to appear, so that I might use these tools?

    Tom,
    Many thanks for replying so soon.  Actually, I think I've solved my little conundrum.  I was selecting all of my clips in the timeline with the hope of running both functions.  I found that when I only selected one clip at a time, that the two options would appear and that I could select them.
    Again, Tom, thank you.
    Cheers,

  • Adding one effect to all clips in project

    I Just need to know how to add the unsharp mask to every clip In my project at once.

    EFfects are added to layers in the comp, not clips in the project window. Unless you already have them all in a comp and could use this comp as a layer in another comp, you will have to apply the effect individually with whatever means you deem best Like saving a preset and applying it or usi gcopy&paste.

  • All clips in project are zoomed in

    I was trying to put a title with a cross dissolve and hit something that made all the clips in my project zoom in.  There is a tiny little rectangular box with a smaller red rectangular box in the canvas.  Can anyone help me so I don't have to start the project over?

    I was still in an editing mode in the canvas.  Once I selected the "crop" button (because I was in that mode still) all the clips went back to normal.  Tracy

  • How to "analyze" multiple clips with "Warp stabilizer"-effect preset

    Is there a simple way to "analyze" multiple clips that have the Warp Stabilizer effect attached?
    I have a sequence with 100 clips, which all have a customized Warp Stabilizer effect preset attached. I can attach the effect to all the clips very easily, but afterwards I have to manually press "Analyze" on each clip, which is quite irritating... Is there a shortcut?
    I don’t use nesting because I have to tweak the effect-settings on some of the clips…

    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Yes, sadly custom presets with warp stabilizers don't work correctly. You have to go hit analyze manually for every clip. For you that may be quicker than changing your two settings for each clip. It is a bummer though. We actually use this effect several hundred times per week and prefer the "Position, Scale, Rotation" method in the settings but we can't use the custom preset because it doesn't properly re-analyze automatically like the default effect does. I'm not sure whether it'd be a bug report or a feature request (in my opinion it's a bug) but definitely report it to the link above.

  • Image stabilization setting by itself

    I've got a strange problem in iMovie 9.0.2. I've done a picture in picture for a number of stills. I quit out of the project and then re-opened it the next day and all the PIP's have image stabilization applied to them with max zoom set to 105% with a little hand symbol inside each PIP. I don't quite understand why this happened, seems more and more like iMovie 9 (iLife 11) has a mind of it's own as I use it more and more. I didn't apply this, it just happened by itself.
    So the question is, what is the image stabiliztion for -- the PIP or the still itself which is behind the PIP? Is there an advantage to using image stabilization? I've seen some people say it doesn't smooth the image out but does the opposite. I don't understand the max zoom relationship to image stabilization.

    Can't tell you why it suddenly set itself, that seems odd. But the mechanism it uses to 'stabilize' video is to zoom into the video frame (cutting out stuff around the edges) then it tries to tilt the video frame left and right to keep everything oriented properly. That's why it has been zoomed in to the 105% level. It only really works for High Def video frames that already have a lot of extra space to work with and if the subject in the frame isn't in a very tight closeup but has a good deal of empty, 'whitespace' around it.

  • All clips missing after import from camcorder!

    All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20.  For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none.  All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok - this is frustrating.  I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started...  After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting.  Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in!  Strange!  Guess I'm OK now.

  • 808 Pureview image stabilization?

    So it's been a bit since those who have purchased the 808 Pureview to have put it through tests and reviews and whatnot. The cameras pretty impressive (although I also feel that the lower res display screen allows for the camera to be super impressive - more so than it truly is).
    Nonetheless, I have a quirk in my 808 when taking video of a roaring fire with image stabilization on. Has anyone else tried this? If the video mode is on automatic or scene and if the fire is the focal point, all is well, but if the fire becomes secondary point of reference in the shot, the stabilization goes crazy and causes the screen to violently shake even though my hand is quite still... Never have I ever experienced such a phenomenon and was curious as to whether or not this is true for all cameras/devices with digital image stabilization.
    It's a great way to show a beautiful picture and instantaneously cause motion sickness in a matter of seconds!
    thought I'd inquire to see if this is normal.

  • I have to make a light modification on EQ setting an all clips

    I assembled about 40 min. of a film, and I put en EQ audio (from Logic tab) an all clips (same setting for all clips). Now, playing back the film, I realized that I have to make a light modification on EQ setting (an all clips). Which is the quickest way to do it?
    Thanks in advance

    The other way, and what I now do all the time, is to add the audio clips to a "Role" (eg "Interview Speech") and then export the audio as a separate file (using the Export features).
    Then add the EQ/effect in Logic or even import the clip straight back in and *then* put the effects on it in FCPX and disable all the original clips (using the Role features again, this is easy).
    If timing changes, you need to re-export/import but I find this less troublesome than using compound clips just for audio.
    The problem with using  compound clips just for adding audio effects is that it can degrade the editing experience or the quality of your project (not the output quality, the usability of your project). I can no longer line up other clips against the audio clips or connect them individually (because they're hidden in their own compound clip).
    And the option to temporarily undo the audio compound clip, basically doesn't exist  because then you lose your effects and you'd have to "find/remember" all the  clips you needed grouped again.
    Word has it, that this problem will be solved by FCPX adding a "mixer". Maybe you'd still use "Roles" but the mixer will allow you to add effects to "Roles". Something like that, anyway.

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with the stabilization all of a sudden. I did an analyze. The amount of shake isn't terrible but it's there. There are no squiggly lines in the clip I'm trying to stabilize. As you can see in the screenshot that it allows me to click the "Smooth clip motion" but the slider is not there for zoom. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? It happens on all clips in this event. The entire event was analyzed after importing.

    What program are you using for this editing?

  • How to move all thumbnail clips into project library for editing?

    Hi there ...
    I haven't used imovie 08 for quite a while ... and I've forgotten how to do a major step .. which is leading to a lot of frustration. I need to drag all my thumbnails into the project library and have them available for editing. ANy way I try it now .... it seems to create one big clip in the project library .. so when I want to add a title or something ... when I drag it over to the clip ... it selects to add to the whole movie. Somehow I need to retain the individual thumbnails or clips ... so when I try to add effects it is just added to one clip ... not all of them ...
    I had this problem before and I can't remember how I moved all the separate clips from the event library to the project library and had them retain their individual clip format available for edit...
    CAn anyone help me .... thanks ....

    Hi,
    This is a shot in the dark but: if it is anything like 09 there is a little slider in the bottom right hand corner of the project window which, if it is all the way to the right will only give you the whole movie.
    Pull it to the left to give you different thumbnail settings.
    Hope this works.

  • Multicam Clips in the Timeline and Image Stabilization

    I've got a multicam clip in my timeline that I would like to use image stabilization on. What I'd like to do is:
    double click on the clip which brings up the angle editor with the range and angle selected.
    press cmd-B to blade the clip
    turn on image stabilization.
    Unfortunately, step one doesn't work. I'm forced to open up the angle editor and manually skim and search for the desired angle and time range. It would be okay if the playhead in the angle editor was slaved to the one in the timeline. Then when you went into the angle editor you'd be right at the desired source material, but no, the two seem to be independant of each other. It makes performing the task much slower and more tedious. So much so I am convinced more experienced users are going to know a quicker way to do it.
    So, does anyone know an easier work-around for this?

    Thank you Tom and Luis, but I'm not with any of this. I can add a clip to the timeline or insert a clip into it via the "arrow tools". If I attempt to shorten the clip IN the timeline there is a blank space representing the amount trimmed from the clip.
    I want the next clip along to that I've trimmed to automatically move along the timeline albeit shortening the total project duration.
    Pressing "A" on the keyboard doesn't achieve this.
    I simply click on the clip in the timeline  to highlight it with the yellow margin. I then click on one "edge" with the arrows symbol and drag the edge inwards. This then leaves the space I do not want.
    As for "Preferences" when I click this under "Final Cut Pro" i see nothing either relevant to this problem or that I could trash.

  • Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area?

    Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area? All clips: not only the ones with the red horizontal line indicating that they need rendering! I ask for this because the rendered clips preview very smoothly, but the unrendered ones do not! My source footage (and project) involves Full HD (1920*1080i 25fps).

    If a Clip does not need Rendering, it will not be Rendered.
    Basically, what Rendering does is to convert the Clips, that do require Rendering, to DV-AVI (SD Projects on a PC). This will yield AVI files in the Media Cache, Render Files, and for playback, PrE will rely on those. If you look in the Render File folder, you will see a bunch of abstractly named files, but those files are now Linked in the PREL (Project file), and will be used by the program for playback.
    If one were to remove those Render files, and then Open that Project in PrE, they'd receive a message, "Where is file 04u434ip0ow.AVI?" [Note: that is just an example of the abstract Render file name, and is not the actual name, that one would see.]. One could Ignore those now missing Render files, and where they were used, there would then be red lines over those Clips.
    As Steve mentions, the Render files are used only for smoothest playback. As I use DV-AVI files for SD Projects on my PC, I will not need to Render for smoothest playback, until I make changes to the Clips, like overlay Titles, PiP, Effects, etc.. I might never Render the Timeline, even with those additions, but sometimes, I will Render a small segment many times, especially with animated Effects, as I adjust the parameters.
    If one is not getting the smoothest playback, then Rendering all files requiring Rendering will usually improve playback greatly.
    Good luck, and hope that this makes sense.

  • Can 5 axis image stabilization be engaged with non system lenses for A7II and A7rII?

    Many people use/will use their excellent non system manual focus non system macro lenses on the A7II and undoubtedly on the soon to be released A7RII. Stabilization in the X/Y planes is very very important for macro. Sony on the A7II only stablizes the X/Y planes for lenses that report the focus distance as best I can tell. Perhaps the lens compensation app or another can be modified so this data can be manually inputted or even change the firmware to allow this and thus stabilize all 5 axes. Focal length will need to be inputted of course as well. Perhaps there is another way around this that I have missed. Thanks for any comments.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.  I have done more digging in reviews and recalled sony's announcments which implied on 3 axis IS is available w/o a lens that reports focsing distance. Not my favorite source, but review from PCMag: "If you're using a non-native lens, or even a native manual focus lens like the Zeiss Loxia 2/50, it's stabilized along three axes—yaw, pitch, and roll. There's a technical reason for that. In order to compensate along the x and y axes, the camera needs to know the distance to the subject, which requires electronic communication of the focal distance from the lens to the body. To compensate for the other three axes, the only data that needs to be transmitted is the focal length of the lens. Even if you're using a purely mechanical Leica lensit can be stabilized—you're able to manually enter the focal length via a menu. The only real downside to this is that the A7 II does not add that focal length to the recorded EXIF data, so if you like to track which lens a shot is captured with, you'll need to take notes." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2475439,00.asp A friend informed me that on his A7II he must mount a non OSS Sony lens first to have any image stabilization with any of his totally manual lenses--seems the camera saves the settings of the last lens attached.  Turning the cam off doesn't reset this--very odd---seems to be a bug in the firmware.  I hope the A7rII is different. This whole issue is quite confusing.  Appreciate any additonal clarification.
