Applying tape name to multiple clips

How do you apply the same tape name to multiple clips - without having to do each one individually?

I can't believe there is no way to do this.
I'm starting a new project, shot on FS700. For every memory card, the file names start over at 00000.mts so tape name is essential for organizing, especially when sending to other applications such as Davinci Resolve. When a person has hundreds or thousands of these clips, it's ridiculous to type a tape name for each one individually. How does anybody edit file-based media in Premiere?

How to apply basic motion to multiple clips

Hello!
How do I apply basic motion parameters to multiple clips? ie Scale, center and crop? Do I have to set the parameters for each specific clip or can I apply the parameters to multiple clips at once?
Thanks

I'm going to assume you want to assign the exact same motion tab setting to additional clips.
Set one of your clips as desired in the motion tab
highlight the modified clip in the timeline
type Cmnd-C to copy
highlight the clips you want to have the setting applied to
type Option-V to paste
in the pop-up window uncheck all boxes except Basic Motion
click the OK button

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously?

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously? I'd like to uniformly speed up and slow down two different clips that are playing in a picture-in-picture setup. I’m hoping there’s a more elegant way to sync them up than just editing their Time Remapping functions individually (I already tried using an Adjustment Layer. It didn’t work).

you can try nesting the two clips together, then control the time remapping of the nest.

Applying video filters to multiple clips in Final Cut Express HD

Is there a way to select multiple video clips and add a video filter to all of them? Example: we have a movie that was recorded in 2 different widescreen aspects ratios. Can I change them to the same aspect ratio easily?

I can't say for FCE, you may want to post in that forum. But in FCP, the method for applying filter(s) to multiple clips is to apply the filter to one clip then make the needed adjustments on the filter(s) in that clip. Next, right-click on that clip and select "Copy" from the contextual menu. Next, select all of the other clips to which you want to apply the same filter(s) and settings. Right-click on one of them and choose "Paste Attributes" from the contextual menu. When the Attributes window opens, choose Filters, then click OK.
To apply the same filter to several clips (without settings) at the same time, select the clips in the Timeline, then drag the filter(s) from the Browser to the clips.

How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

Hi, Alex.
It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                              NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
(WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
     a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
     b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
     a. load your noise print file
     b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
     c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
         are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
     d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
         noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
     e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
         way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
         open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
         adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
     f. once you're happy with your settings, click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
               do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
     a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
     b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
     c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
     d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
     e. click Apply
     f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
     a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
     b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
     c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
     d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
     e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
     f. set the format / type / bitrate (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
     g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
[HERE IS THE CHEAT]
Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track. This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx. I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
Have fun!

How to apply Time Remap to multiple clips simultaneously

Quite often after trimming many different clips for a wedding video I will then want the majority of them slowed down to a 50% speed. I know how to apply the Time Remap Speed % change in the Motion Tab, but have yet to figure out how to make the change to multiple clips simultaneously.
Thanks for your help!

You can apply a speed change from one clip to multiple clips by copying the first one, then pasting attributes (option + V, then select speed from the list) onto as many clips as you have selected.
Just be aware that this will ripple your timeline by extending all of your clips. FCP keeps the original out point of the source clip, not the out point of each cut on the T/L.

Applying a transition to multiple clips, titles, and stills

Hello,
I'm banging my head against the wall trying to achieve something that seems like it should be fairly simple.
I'm producing guitar instruction videos that often use still images, five or more title clips (for text highlighting concepts presented in the video), and generator clips (used for masking). All of this is layered over the primary shot of me talking to/playing for the camera.
I'm looking into using a simple transition like "Slide" between chapters/sections of the video to prevent jump cuts. My goal is to include all clips in the transition: That is, if I only apply Slide to the two clips in the storyline, the other clips connected to the later clip in the storyline--titles, still images, etc.--remain stationary, which looks wierd. I want the whole enchilada--everything visible, still images and titles included--to slide over in unison. And I want to be able to do this 5-10 times over the course of a 5-minute video, and I'll be producing 20-50 videos. So I need an efficient workflow.
A simple example would be the edit at 1:47 in this video I producted:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Yvef14A00
I'd like to apply a slide transition so that not only the image of my holding my guitar, but also the title "Stage 2", slid over the preceding footage.
And more importantly, what if, in addition to the text "Stage 2," there was a still image and several other titles? How would I get all of them to slide over together?
Storylines don't seem to be the answer--You'd have to create a different one for each additional clip, which seems cumbersome. And compound clips and transitions don't seem to mix well--when I try to transition between compound clips I'm told there isn't enough extra media to create the transition.
Thanks so much,
Rob

Thank you Jakob, this will make things quicker once I know how to apply the transition.
But it doesn't answer my primary question: How to apply the transition.
Maybe some screenshots would illustrate the problem:
Image 1
www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/1.png
Here the playhead is just before an edit point between two sections: The Guitar Strap section and the Capo section. Right now, a single still image is visible (dude with a chain for a guitar strap).
Image 2
www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/2.png
Here the playhead is at the edit point where I want to apply a Slide transition. As you can see, in addition to the clip in the storyline (video of me holding my guitar), there are four title clips and two generator clips. I'd like all seven of those clips to slide across the still image of the dude with the chain guitar strap.
Does that make things clearer?

Best way to apply same effect to multiple clips?

I have a bunch of short clips in the timeline. I want them all to end with a "fade to black" and I want the audio to fade to 0 db. I know how to do this by applying the "fade to black" and then applying 1/2 a crossfade 0db. Is there a way to apply these two effects to several clips at once? How do I apply the audio and video effects together to a single clip with one move?

create the effect using the opacity and volume overlays on one clip in the timeline, then right-click and copy. Select (ie highlight) the other clips you want, right-click any of them and choose 'paste attributes'. From the pop up you'll want to check the relevant options, opacity and audio levels, and that's it.

How do you apply a transition to multiple clips? NOT using default transition.

Using CS6
I have videos on one track and titles on another track. I want to apply dissolve to black for the videos and gradient wipe to the titles.
Right now I have to assign dip as the default transition, select all the video, and apply default transition. Then find the gradient wipe, change *that* to the new default transition, select all the titles, and apply default transitions. Then I have to go back and reset my default transition to gradient wipe since that's my "main" default transition.
Uhhhh... why can't we just select a bunch of clips and drag ANY transition to the selection and have it apply just like regular effects? Why force us to do this complicated singular default transition dance?

Hi D. Vivian,

What you need to do is to select the clips and enable trim (some red brackets will appear at the beginning or end of the clips).
I just marquee drag with the Roll tool to select the edit points.

Or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + D (Windows) or CMD + D (Mac).

Applying motion effects to multiple clips

Another one that's been bothering me... in Photoshop I can apply effects from one layer to another to achieve the same look and save massive amounts of time.
Is there any way to do the same to clips and images in FCE 3.5. It would make doing 'Ken Burns' effects much less time consuming.
Thanks

Copy the clip and use the paste attributes function.

Applying an Effect to Multiple Clips

While I have such a helpful person's attention, can you tell me how to apply white balance and other settings (from the Fast Color Corrector) from one to many clips?
Thanks.

In CS6, you can also (and possibly preferably) create an adjustment layer, place it over the clips you want the effect on, and than apply the effect to the AL. This way all clips underneath will get the effect, and you can make changes to just one instance of that effect.

Can't apply color presets to multiple clips in timeline.

When I try to apply a color preset to one selected clip in the timeline, color board lets me do that but when I select two or more clips CB disappears. The manual says I should be able to do this so I wonder if I have missed something simple, or is this a bug? Sorry if it's been covered already but a search didn't bring anything relevant up. Thanks in advance.

Copy the corrected clip, then select the others and press:
Alt + Cmd + V
Job done!

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)

How to apply an effect to multiple/all clips

I'm sure I'm missing something elementary here, but I can't find a way to apply an effect to multiple clips at once in PE7. Specifically I'd like to apply the Auto Levels adjustment effect across all clips in my project (makes sense because they were all recorded at the same time), but at best can onely copy the effect from one clip or section on the timeline to another; one at a time. When working with a project that has upward of 100 scenes, copy and pasting to each individual clip seems like a lot of tedious work that should be easier.
Does anyone have any suggestions or information that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Dale

Dale,
You have discovered one of the little "gottchas" with Copy/Paste Attributes - it does it for all.
I do not know of a way to eliminate Effects globally, i.e. multiple Clips in this case. Unless there's a neat workaround, or secret switch, I think it will be by hand. That is the way it is in PrPro. Don't know about PE, but In PrPro one can select some of the Effects to Copy/Paste Attributes (for many Effects, but not all).
Side note: Render your Clips and watch them closely with Auto Levels. I find that it "pulses" and that manually setting Levels (not the Auto one) is better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Applying same effect to multiple titles

sorry for the newbie questions (last video stuff I did was using avid and discreet effect many years ago)
I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency) OR create a preset that contains all the effects.
Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles. Is there a way?

I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another...
You can do this. Copy the title with the applied effect, paste it elsewhere into the sequence, and then hold down the Alt key as you drag the replacement title on to the pasted title. The effect will be preserved, but the clip will be replaced.
OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency)
You can do this, too. Select the clip with the effects in the sequence, either press Ctrl+C or go to Edit > Copy to copy the clip, select one or more target clips, and either press Ctrl+Alt+V or go to Edit > Paste Attributes. All effects and transformations will be pasted to the target clips, without changing the clips themselves.
OR create a preset that contains all the effects...
And you can do this, as well. With the Effects Control Panel open, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the names of all the effects you want to include in the preset. Click the flyout menu (it's the tiny four-stack of pancakes at the upper-right corner of the pane) and select Save Preset. I'll let you figure it out from there
Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles. Is there a way?
No way to directly do this; any effect or effect preset applied to a clip is an independent instance, and is not connected to the original in any way. However, you could use the preset building process I outlined above to semi-quickly update all your titles. If you've applied an effect or effect preset you don't want any more, select all the clips that are thus effected, and right-click on one of them and select Remove Effects. Tick the options that you want to remove. Then, rebuild your preset, and apply it to your clips again; you can apply a preset to multiple clips by selecting them all and dragging the preset from the effects bin. It's a little bit of a round-about way, but it's about the quickest it can get.
