Arranging clips in browser list view

How do you do it?
I dragged clips into the browser and they stayed in the order I put them. I'd like to change the order of the list but can't seem to find a way to do it. In icon view you can drag the clips around, but when you switch from one size to another or two list, it reverts to original. Rather annoying...and solution, if any, is not easily found in Help.
thanks,
K.

I see that can be done, thanks.
But rather cumbersome. My other NLE let me drag where I liked, and icon views were in gridded boxes. I guess not possible in FCE.
Even worse, you can only go up to 9 items, apparently.
Who designed this mess?

Browser list view - Reel group keeps opening

In browser list view I have my clips sorted by Reel Name.
That's great, but as I work through the reels adding keywords I click the little triangle shape to twirl the reel group closed.
Unfortunately, it keeps reopening at every opportunity.
As I work through my thousands of clips, it's going to become increasingly tiresome to have to scroll further and further down the browser - unless I can keep the reel groups closed.
Any ideas, anyone?
Andy

Another advantage of list view (for me) is that if there are a number of keywords on the clip, I can see more of them.
The keyword editor will only stretch a limited amount and sometimes doesn't display all the keywords. It's also impossible to tell from the keyword editor whether there are multiple keyword collections on one long clip (if they overlap).
In the browser list view, the disclosure triangle tells you there are items to view, and if you twirl it, you can see how many groups of keywords are assigned to that clip. They are listed separately.
If you stretch out the browser column containing the clip names, you can see more keywords than it's possible to see in the keyword editor without clicking in the editor and navigating with the left or right arrows.
(Well, I know what I mean, even if nobody else does).

Finder - Arrange by Name in List view

Hi,
I have noticed that when i view a finder window in list view and then choose to arrange by name the view becomes different to what it would be before it was arranged. See my pictures for example:
Before
After
Notice that the titles become automatically spaced out and are much larger. I much prefer this view becaue it stops me having the widen the file name border in order to read long file names.
Does anyone know if there is a way to apply this to all folders? I have tried using this setting at the detault but it doesnt seem to carry through. I have also had a look in automator and there is no option to arrange by name in the list view settings.
Help please!
Thanks,
Adrian

Well, it seems to work for me, so all I can suggest might be some problem with the Finder's preference file - com.apple.finder.plist - located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. You could try putting it in the Trash, killing the Finder, then reconfiguring your window arrangements.
To kill the Finder press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the task manager, select the Finder, then click on the Relaunch button.

'general error' when trying to get clip from browser to viewer

I'm trying to put together a short instructional video (a kind of 'quick intro' on what a particular website is all about).
Some clips in the video consist of screen captures (made with iShowU) while others are 'live' from a firewire camcorder.
There's no problem with the camcorder clips. All going according to plan there.
However, *when I try to get the screen grab clips from the browser to the viewer (to mark in/out points, etc), I get a 'general error' message followed in quick succession by an 'out of memory' message*. (I have 8GB ram so I'm sure memory's not the issue.)
I can drag the screen grab clips from the browser directly to a sequence in the timeline, but not to the viewer.
Neither quitting FCP nor logging out (and back in again) fixes the problem. (BTW, I'm working with a PAL setup on the camera and am capturing in PAL dimensions in iShowU, if this has any relevance here.)
I'm tearing my hair out... Maybe it's something very simple that I'm doing wrong? *Any ideas on how I might get the screen grab clips from the browser to the viewer?*
TIA.
Hugh

Sounds like iShowU may be writing a less-than-valid QuickTime file.
If you can successfully drag one of these items into the timeline, I'd drag it in and then File->Export->QuickTime Movie... checking the Make Movie Self-Contained box. If this works and you have a lot of clips you might try dragging them all into a timeline and then saving them as one big movie. Sounds like they're not that long so such an approach shouldn't get you into FCP performance problems.
Another approach would be to open each movie in QuickTime and do a Save As... with the "Save as self-contained movie" option.
Either way these will probably write a MOV file that FCP will be happy with.
Good Luck!

Arranging clips in browser

I would like to be able to arrange my clips in the browser in the order that they were shot. It seems that I can only arrange them in alphabetical order, time of clip, ect. Does anyone have any hints on how to do this?

Thank you. I was worried that it was impossible to do that. I have just started renaming the clips with numbers in front to keep them in order.

List view is blank in event browser

I have noticed something strange in Final Cut ProX. If I select an event in the Event Browser while in Film Strip View I can see all of the files that are in that event. If I click on the icon to show clips in List View, none of my files can be seen in the Event Browser. If I then click back on the Film Stip View, the Event Browser stays blank. The only way to get it working again in Film Strip View is to close and re-open Final Cut ProX.
Am i doing something wrong or is there a problem with the program. I purchased the Ripple Training series and it seems that I should be able to just jump back and forth between the two views.
Thanks for the help.

Due to the silence, I figured nobody else had this problem so I went ahead and called Apple for assitance. The issue turned out to some sort of corruption in my preferences. I was able to resolve the problem by trashing my preferences file.
In case some else has a similar strange issue, it is very easy to trash your preference file.
1) Close FinalCut Pro X
2) Open a finder window
3) Go to Library\Preferences
4) Find the file "com.apple.finalcut.plist"
5) Delete the file "com.apple.finalcut.plist"
6) Restart your computer
7) Open FinalCut Pro X and it should be like when you first started the program
This does not seem to impact any of your previously imported events or projects -- it just resets the program settings.

List View in the event browser stopped working.

Recently I was using Final Cut pro X when it crashed, when I re-opened the application I found that List View in my event browser no longer displayed any content, filmstrip view appears to work but I had gotten quite fond of list view.
Is there a way to get it running again? I've already tried Restarting, shutting down and booting up again, taking out my external hard disk before opening FCPX then putting it back in again..

We have the same FCP X issue. Filmstrip view works, switch to List view and it shows nothing. We even tried closing in List view, then reopening, it reopens in Filmstrip. We have rebooted as well, with no effect. Anyone find a work around?

"Arrange by..." options are greyed out in Finder's List View.

Hey there, just a quick one...
I'm having trouble arranging my files/folders by Name, Date Modified, Size etc when in List View. This is fine in my regular Finder window but I clearly remember being able to do when (for example) Saving, Opening and all other popup Finder windows in earlier versions of OS X.
I should also say that I do have TotalFinder installed but I believe it was a problem even without it installed.
Here's a pic to demonstrate what I mean. In normal Finder windows there is a little drop down arrow when you hover, making each catagory a button essentially. This is what it looks like when I'm trying to Open, Save As or something similar... Greyed out, essentially. Problem highlighted in yellow.
Any ideas, suggestions or general help you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Could it be just somethign as similar as a System Preferences option or even holding down a key etc? Cheers.

Click the Arrange button on the toolbar and select the desired option.

Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

Finder - Browse in List View, Finder - Browse in List View

In Lion there are now a couple of options are available when you right-click on a Finder window and click on Show View Options:
Always open in list view
Browse in list view
Whereas in Snow Leopard there is only one option:
Always open in list view
So my question is, what's the difference between these two new options in Lion? What exactly does "Browse in list view" mean?

The help file is a bit confusing since it says :
To set the current window to always open in list view, select “Always open in list view.” If the window has subfolders, you can also set them to open in list view.
That part where it says that if the window has subfolders, you can also set them to open in List view. That is what Browse means. So, if you have that checked, when you double-click on a folder in that window, it will open the subfolder in the same view unless that folder has an "always open in ____ View" setting.

How to put clips in order by number in List View? Opened Premier and they were reversed!

I imported a lot of clips in numeric order from lowest to highest. Today when I opened Premier the order was reversed in the list view from Highest to lowest number. I dont know why. I did not change anything. It did this to all my other bins also!!
When I look at the clips in icon view they are in proper order!!!
So now when I try to put on timeline it places my last clip first. Is there an easy way to reverse the order in List View to the way I originally imported them? I don't want to have to re import all the clips.
Thanks !!

They are in order in windows. For some reason they are backwards when I opened Premier. They were in order originally.
I saw this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html#id_29219
But I still cant figure out how to sort. Am I missing something?
"To sort items in List view, click the column heading by which you want to sort the items. If bins are expanded, items sort from the top level and down the Project panel hierarchy. To reverse the sort order, click the column heading again."
Not sure what they mean? Is the column heading they are talking about in Premier? Do they mean the bins? This should be easy, But I am not finding it!

Clips not showing up in list view

MacBook Pro 10.7.1 Lion - Whenever I click on list view my clips don't show up. When I click back on filmstrip view final cut x crashes. This doesn't happen on my MacPro Desktop.

Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
It's worth a try otherwise, there is some conflict.
I suggest you create a new user account on the problem machine and see whether FCP X works OK from there.
What codec is the problem clip?

Scrubbing in Browser when viewing as List

I just got Tom's FCE 4.0 book and I'm having a hang up. There's a section that talks about being able to scrub a thumbnail in the browser when viewing your project as a list. I cannot figure out how to get to the thumbnail. I tried right clicking in the browser, right cliking on the item. How do you bring up the thumbnail? Tom was refering to "a neat trick in the browser, "Show Thumbnail"

You are probably clicking in the "Name" column. Use the "Duration" or any of the other columns.
It must be in the box where "Duration" or the other titles are ........... not in the columns below.

Hi JayJT,
The Miscellaneous is located in the contact list that you used for the connection.
So , you need to edit the page, then edit the contact list that you used, in the web part properties of the contact list, you will find Miscellaneous, then expand it and select ‘Server Render’ .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Nothing in list view of the browser

Hi all
I'm liking the new FCPX a lot but there seems to be a bug (perhaps only on my version). When I switch from filmstrip view to list view in an event, there is nothing in the list and then when I try and switch back to filmstrip nothing happens. Eventually it just crashes.
I'm thinking that I may have to delete the plist preference file but I can't find it. Am I right to do this if there is one or shall I just re-download the app.
By the way, this was happening on vers 10.0.0 and the new upgrade.
Looking forward to rectifying this with your help.

Aperture's metadata handling in the 1.x days skipped or missed some things (e.g. lens info). So images imported in the 1.x days may not have all the details. For these images, if you've upgraded to Aperture 2, running this may get you more EXIF info on the photo.
For images that have been imported in the last 6 months, its not going to do anything at all.
The one exception is if you somehow add GPS info to the RAW files themselves (with a tagging application) after they've already been imported. I think Ian Wood has a couple applications that will do this. Anyway, if you run this command after adding GPS info to a RAW file, I think Aperture will pick it up (I haven't managed yet to successfully add GPS info to a shot tho').
