Batch scale a bunch of clips to 720 from 1080

Howdy folks,
Just starting shooting 1080 but always cut at 720.  Is there a way to scale all my source pics to 720 before dropping them on the timeline (or a preset or something that I can apply).
Currently I insert the clip into the timeline then go motion>scale and type in 67.  Its a bit of a pain in the bum to do this manually for each clip
Also while I'm at it is there a way to get the default handles on each clip on the timeline to come up as time remapping rather than opacity?

As so often when one asks a question about workflow it comes after a moment of "there must be a better way than this"
So I answered my own question - went to keyboard shortcuts and assigned a shortcut to clip>video>option>scale to frame size.  And also found the ctrl-R shortcut for speed/duration.
If theres a better way, I'm all ears
Still would like to know if you can set the default handles to "time remapping though"

  • Batch List: How to capture clips inc info, from disk instead of tape

    We have a client's edit log on Excel, including reel no, in/out, scene, description, log note etc. Usually we import this batch list to FCP, then batch capture from DVCAM tapes, so all clips have all their info - great.
    In this case, the material is already digitised and the client has logged from DVDs burned with timecode from the digitised material being placed in FCP sequencecs with timecode generator filter.
    Is there a way to 'batch capture' clips from the digitised material, so that we keep all the client logging info, as we would if we were capturing from tape?

    Shane has got it right - we want to automatically build a sequence using that batch list. Or somehow have FCP make new clips or subclips from already captured footage... so if your verdict is right Shane, looks like we may have to go the manual route...
    although - just occurred to me - for each clip, I could go to the digitised source sequence, duplicate it, open copy in timeline, enter clip's in and out tc in the viewer - and that will give me a copy of each clip as a sequence - rename that sequence as per the clip, and we're done.
    But it's still of course more laborious than batch capture from tape; this is a concern going forward as we are switching to XDCAM EX, so of course the route to enable this client-edit-logging ( http://www.creationvideo.co.uk/info/timecode/ ) that we've always offered clients is no longer valid as the material is already online....
    Any suggestions still welcome!

  • Batch processing a bunch of clips?

    hi,
    i have a couple of dozen interview clips (m2t) which i need to add visual time code to for client apprisal.
    i looked in ame, but saw no ability to do the above. is there any way of doing this other than individually on the timeline and then exporting to mp4?
    thanks

    thanks shooternz, unfortunately i probably should have added in my original post that i wanted them produced as individual files rather than all off the tl in one hit.
    each interview has to go to the interviewee for release, so obviously i can't send hours and hours of interviews to each interviewee and expect them to find, let alone check theirs (heck, an hour or so is already sending me to sleep;-() -  i had a similar job years ago and used an extension in sony vegas called production assistant which did this sort of thing almost automatically.
    maybe if there's no alternative i'll jump back into vegas for this project.

  • Accidentally hit "remove unused", had a bunch of clips and subclips that disappeared. Can I undo?

    Premiere was freezing and in the process of trying to figure it out I (stupidly) hit Project -> Remove Unused. I had a bunch of clips and subclips that I had made that I haven't yet put in any sequence. Is there any way to undo this action or did I just remove all of my subclips and I'll have to start over again? Let me know if you have any ideas!

    CTRL-Z may help, or otherwise revert to an auto-saved project.

  • 720 to 1080

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question.
    I have FCP X and film all my footage in 1080p.   I finished my project and uploaded it only to realize that the footage was downgraded to 720. 
    Does anyone know a quick way to just change the project I already pieced together from being 720 to 1080 so that I don't have to re edit anything?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Quickest: You can create a new projects with custom 1080 settings then copy the 720 timeline and paste it to the 1080 project TL.
    Of course, most of the time it's best to let FCP determine the project settings automatically determine the project settings from the first clip.

  • How do I make a clip fade in from white, without affecting / overlapping the previous clip?

    Hi,
    The simple scenario is, I have two clips in my timeline. I have the the first clip that ends on a white flash frame. I want the second clip to fade in from white, so that there is visual continuity between the two clips. I don't want to change the duration of the two clips and add any additional frames.
    Whenever I use the Fade To Colour dissolve, and simply switch out the black colour to white, which does exactly what I want, the dissolve always affects / overlaps the first clip when you subsequently put them together. How can I have only the second clip fade in from white and be affected by the Fade To Colour?
    I've also tried using the compositing opacity handles in the show video animation dialogue but this only lets you fade the clip in from a black background. If I could change the colour of that compositing opacity background to white, so that it fades in from white instead of black, then that would be perfect but I can't see how you can do it? Can that be done?
    I'd like the simplest and quickest possible solution, ideally changing the colour of the compositing opacity background would be best but how else can I have a clip fade in from white?
    Thanks,
    Clown Guy

    I also have this question. Avid lets you change the frame up/down -  to/from a dissolve point. In other words, I could have a dissolve go "up" at, for example, 5 frames, and then "down" at, say, 15 frames. As it stands now, FCPX only allows you the same amount of frames on either side of the cross-dissolve. (A 30-frame dissolve is split 15 frames on either side of the transition.)
    Other NLE's give you the option for a dissolve to occur at the BEGINNING, in the MIDDLE (STANDARD CROSS-DISSOLVE) or at the END of a transition. (Depending, of course, on if you have the "handles" to execute the transition,)
    Can we achieve this in FCPX? Is this where we launch the "precision editor?"

  • New Apple TV starts as 720 not 1080?

    Hi
    I have just bought a new Apple TV directly from Apple.
    I am connecting to a Sony Bravia TV, but when connecting it reports resolution as 720, not 1080. I have tried a different cable, but no joy.
    I also have BT Vision through another AV channel and will switch ports / cables if I have to, but I am hoping you will tell me I am missing something simple :-) Please?

    Not what I was hoping to hear, but at least I know now!

    Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    You can update when the update is released for your handset. You can check availability for your handset HERE.

  • My keywords and compound clips have disappeared from Event

    Hi.
    After a few weeks of working off of a portable hard drive, recently I hooked my laptop back up to my large external drive, where most of my video resides, and found that all my keywords and compound clips have disappeared from their Event. (I have only one event on that drive.)
    This is DISTRESSING. I had originally imported a huge amount of clips into FCP X and spent days entering keywords. I also took a lot of time importing sequences from FCP 7 into FCP X as compound clips. These were important building blocks. Now they are all gone.
    Looking on the web I've only found one instance of anyone saying this had happened to them, and it was because he had tried to duplicate his currentevent file in the file. I did no such thing. Really I have no idea what I could have done differently to make this happen. All I did was not use my primary hard drive for a few weeks.
    Is there ANY way to retrieve all those keywords and compound clips? This is a NASTY surprise, a real blow. I walked around all night feeling depressed at all the lost work.
    The other guy who had this problem said that he then used FCP 7 for a day -- and when he reopened FCP X all his keywords and clips had returned. He didn't know why. I tried leaving FCP 7 open all day today in case that would help, but there's no change this evening. Still all gone.
    I then tried moving the currentevent file onto my desktop with a slightly changed name (--currentevent), renaming the file in the "backup" folder as currentevent, and opening with that. No better.

  • While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

    Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

    OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
    I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
