Can i backtime a clip into a template drop zone?

trying to use a transition template but when i drop the clip into the outgoing clip's drop zone well it goes in from an in point which makes aligning the transition with it's ingoing and outgoing clips a major pain in the ***. Ideally I'd like to just back time the outgoing clip. Can i do this? any other workaround suggestions?
thanks

thanks. i'm not sure if i did exactly what you meant, but i found a pretty good workaround. I put a marker in the template where the new clip starts, then i line that marker up with the edit point between the clips, giving me the ins and outs as you said.
cheers

  • Can't Import Sound Clip into Flash CS6

    I clipped a song using Audition and added a fade. I exported it to MP3.
    I need to import that clip into Flash. I tried: FILE>IMPORT>IMPORT TO LIBRARY
    It read: Couldn't Import (file name)
    I tried to convert the sound clip to a .wav file and ran into the same problem.
    I tried to drag and drop into the library. Same problem.
    I am a novice at Flash. This is for a school assignment. It worked in class but not at home. I am using WINDOWS 8.1 and have a creative cloud version of flash (which I THINK is CS6).
    Suggestions?

    Fix: I converted it to a .wav file and everything was a-ok.

  • Putting video clips in template drop zone

    I can't drag my video into the control video drop zone. the computer won't let me drag the video clip anywhere...what could be limiting my ability to do this?

    Are you working in FCP or Motion? If FCP, are you working with one of the Motion Master Templates? Also, what is the source of your video and what are it's settings?

  • Apple motion 5 template drop zones play only 1080p video clips. 720p will play outside of dropzone.

    I am also getting a -1 error when trying to export with the 720p clip in a dropzone.  I bought the clip stock and they didn't offer this one in 1080p.  Is there any explanation as to why this clip will not run in the dropzone but does on the canvas?

    You shouldn't be "loading" drop zones in Motion. You should be doing that in FCPX (as long as the drop zone source well is published.) You do not have to use Motion to "bake" video for import into FCPX. Install the template for FCPX [ place the effect folder in ~/yourHomeFolder/Movies/Motion Templates/<TypeOfEffect>/<CategoryFolder - create a new one if you want>/<place effect folder here> ]
    The types of effects are Effects, Titles, Generators, Transitions.
    The effect you bought came in a folder. That folder structure must be maintained for FCPX. That usually means: a Motion document (.moef, .moti, .motr or .motn file), 2 .pngs and a Media folder. If any of these are missing, it will not work in FCPX.
    To use the drop zone in FCPX, apply the effect to the clip (or if it is a Title, place the title over the storyline); click on the Drop Zone source well, then click on the clip you want to apply to the drop zone from either the Event browser or the storyline. You'll see a "2-up" display, and you should see an "Accept" button in the viewer to finalize the application to the drop zone.
    If you have the same problems in FCPX, let us know!

  • Master Template Drop Zone Causes Frame Offset Problem

    I created a template in Motion with two drop zones. When I use it in Final Cut as a master template, and drop in two video clips, the clips are offset about 4 frames from the originals. I can see this when I toggle the template's track on and off to see the underlying clips that got dropped in from my timeline. The cut points don't match up to what winds up in the template's dropzones for some reason.
    This is a problem, because I'm using the template as a transition between full screen and a PIP-type effect.
    The weird frame offset causes a visual glitch that I have to correct by adjusting the start/end points. This is extremely time consuming, as I have to apply the template to a huge number of clips.
    I'm using the latest version of Final Cut Studio.

    Just discovered that the frame offset increases the further I am into a clip.
    I took a part from the beginning.. frame offset = 2 frames.
    Took one closer to the end of a 4 minute clip.. frame offset = 14 frames.
    The video is encoded in ProRes422 at 29.97 fps, and the Motion template is 29.97 also. Any ideas?

  • Template Drop Zone

    Let's say your adding data to a template. The template has two drop zones (square box with arrow).
    You have added the text in the appropriate text fields but you do not want to add any content (photo/video/whatever) to the drop zones.
    *However, the drop zones remain in the template which of course you do not want to see in the final canvas.*
    How (if possible) can you eliminate the drop zones entirely from the template. Can it be done in FCP (control/filter/motion tabs) or do you need to round trip the template to Motion and back for you to eliminate the drop zone boxes from your template?
    Thanks

    I was meaning templates found in the 'Effects' tab in the FCP browser.
    At any rate, I know what you mean about removing them in Motion, Tom.
    As a side note : I just dragged some freeze frames into the drop zones. I figured: why not?
    Sometimes you just want a totally minimalist look. And I love deleting things to get to that level.
    My living space looks that way. Spare, clean, cold, white. A major turn off for many.
    Anyway, I like my video projects to look the same way.
    .....but I digress.

  • Motion 3 template drop zone content won't play in FCP

    I am new to Motion. I made a custom template and brought it into FCP. It inserts and previews fine. In FCP I place a clip into one of the masked-out "drop zones" under the "controls tab" and here is where I run into the problem:
    The clip shows up ok in the template but doesn't play once I render; all I get is a static still from it.
    I sense that I am almost there... any suggestions?
    many thanks,

    Hi, this problem has been solved over in the Quicktime discussions:

    Turns out you need to install Qmaster to play HDV files in QT (without FCP installed).

  • Moving Still Graphics in Motion Template: Drop Zones

    I am new to this and it is probably a simple answer. I have a portrait JPG photo to add to a drop zone in a template. How do I adjust the photo only so that it will not cut off the top of the photo. I am using fit in the image properties. It works with stretch but that option distorts the photo and centre makes the photo selection even smaller within the drop zone. The photo is quite large. Do I have to reduce it's size first?
    If I move the photo down with the selection tool it does not allow me to move the photo down without cutting off the rest of the photo outside the drop zone box. All I want to do is move the photo down so it fits within the drop zone so that I can see the bride and groom.

    hi,
    what is the aspect ratio of the drop zone? if it doesnt match your photo then you are going to have to compromise on something. You might lose some picture either at the sides or top and bottom, or maybe you see some blank around the picure.
    As Patrick says its a waste of power having a large picture if you are going to reduce its size and pop it in a frame. Further to this you might want to preflight your image to be the right ratio for your drop zone.
    Hope this helps

  • Video clip skewed outside of drop zone...

    All,
    The roadshow idvd6 theme (widescreen) has 6 drops zones -- when I drag clips to the small zones in the upper right, they drop fine, but are about 40 pixels out of the frame -- like they are not lined up. You can see the movie clip hanging out of the drop zone frame and the drop zone itself is black.
    I tried to rre-install idvd and the base theme has the same problem. Another imac I have works fine and the them and drop zones behave correctly. I copied the themes from that imac to the mac pro with the problem and I still have the problem.
    Anybody have this problem?

    I don't think it's a bug to be honest. But it may have to do with a proper setting/s on the monitor / TV.
    Mine works very well so I think we can perhaps narrow it down to the widescreen 16:9 mode. Does this also happen for you in standard 4:3 or not?

  • How to remove iDVD Template Drop Zones?

    Hi! I'm looking to remove all drop zones from iDVD to have a simple black background that could be replaced with a .mov file.
    Essentially, I'd like to remove the 3 drop zones from the "Modern" 7.0 theme.
    Please let me know if this is possible, thanks!
    Alex

    This is from iDVD Help: _Adding or hiding drop zones_
    The drop zones in a theme are a permanent part of the graphics or animations included in that theme. Therefore, you can’t add drop zones, delete individual drop zones, or change the location of drop zones on a menu. You can, however, hide all the drop zones on a menu so that they don’t appear in your final project. This is particularly helpful when you want to create a simple custom theme.
    To hide all drop zones on a menu screen:
    Make sure the menu whose drop zones you want to hide is showing in the iDVD window.
    With your pointer over the menu, press Command-I to open the Menu Info window.
    Deselect the “Show drop zones and related graphics” checkbox.
    The drop zones immediately disappear from the menu, and they do not appear in your final burned project. Some other graphical elements may also be hidden.
    You can always show the drop zones and ornaments again after you’ve hidden them. Simply open the Menu Info window and select the “Show drop zones and related graphics” checkbox.
    To replace the background, open the menu info window. For full directions, go to iDVD Help, and look up _Changing the background image of a DVD menu_.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why can't I drag clips into the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6?

    hi,
    I have clips in my bin and trying to drag them into the timeline since the newest update and I cannot. Anyone having this issue?

  • Just started happening: Can no longer drag clips into Audio 1

    Hi-  I just encountered a problem.  When I drag a clip from the source monitor, the audio automatically splits to Audio7 & 8.  Can someone explain why this is happening?  Is this a problem and if so, how do I fix it?

    Thanks for the quick reply...
    Does it really matter if the audio is not in the Audio 1 line?  I'm trying to get myself to stop worrying about the non important stuff and finish the project.
    My ADD is horrible, things like this distract me!  The final outcome is a video testimonial page for a client... so I'm not looking for 5.1 audio.
    Is this a big deal?

  • Can not import video clips into iMovie from Photos

    I have some clips that I copied from my GoPro to my iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Kit.  When I open iMovie there are icons for the clips but iMovie will not import them.  The format is H.264.  Is there a way of tricking iMovie?

    Here is the problem, Im making a movie, I took all the video on my Kodak V610 Camera. I have the clips in .mov format. The clips are stored on an external disk in my iPhoto library.
    Your digital camera probably uses MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08 in combination with µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not iMovie '08 compatible). While using the MPEG Streamclip MPEG-4 conversion will work, the prefered methof would be to use the QT "Movie to MPEG-4" option in QT Pro (quicker if you have it) or GarageBand (via the "Expert Settings option) to "pass through" you video while converting the audio to AAC (MPEG-4 audio). A mono setting of 64 Kbps with a 44.1 KHz sampling rate is a bit of "overkill" with respect to the original audio but will be quality compatible with what iMovie uses for its output presets.
