Can i label clips by colors in the timeline

Just as above, I am editing a music video and I would like to lable the clips that I defintely want to keep, in the timeline, by colors. Is there a way? I cant figure it out. Help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think you can use colors but there are lots of other ways to organize. There is a great tutorial video you should check out: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/3-keywords-and-ratings-in-fina l-cut-pro-x/
Worth a look. Good luck!

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

>I am trying to load my new programs onto this laptop
Actually, no you're not. You're trying to load old programs on this computer - programs that are based around the old (dead?) Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X.
The main problem is that Mac OS X no longer comes with Mac OS 9. If you want to run Mac OS 9 applications you can, but you'll need to source a copy of Mac OS 9 and install that before you can. Off hand I don't know of any sources for Mac OS 9.x. Apple no longer sell it. eBay might be an option.
Either that, or just use Mac OS X applications. You'd probably prefer that anyway.
Finally, as an aside, this doesn't really have anything to do with AppleScript, so posting in the appropriate forum might get you better luck.

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
Is this enough information?

Changing a clip's speed in the timeline...

I tried searching for this and looking around in the preferences but couldn't find anything.
When I change a clip's speed in the timeline, how do stop FCP from shifting all the other clips that follow on the timeline?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Warren. I"m not sure if there is an easy way to undo this, but one thing you can do is just copy the clip into a new sequence, make the speed change and then paste it back into place in the original sequence. If you're slowing it down, you'll have to shrink the duration of the clip some to make it fit in its original location.

Sounds like you don't have enough handles.

L do not see an orange line in the browser for clips that are in the timeline. What do I do?

How do I get the orange line to show in the brewer for clips that are in the timeline. Mine doesn't show it.

I called Apple and said it is a glitch which caused me not able to see a registration key. They sent my $30 back so I will make another order of Quicktime Pro 7 to get registration key.

How can I create a new color in the calendar?

Good day,
I wanted the to create a new color in the default calendar from Apple, but I do not know how that goes.
Perhaps someone can explain to me how this works.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

Why can't my pics match color of the screen when printed?

Hi there.... Please help me with my frustation. I am using LR 2.6 and printing on a HP Photosmart B8550 on a MacBook laptop. I can't get the colors on the printer to match the screen. I have tried several profiles in the Color Management section of the Print Module (including Manage by Printer). The prints are all darker and not as vivid as the monitor shows. Although the levels in the histogram are OK, in order to get 'decent' color prints I have to increase the levels distorting the screen image.

so I have to assume its a basic flaw with lightroom
Actually it is certainly possible to print correctly with Lightroom. Almost all printers will just work. If they don't, you are either not setting up the driver right with the correct settings for ink density and paper type and/or are not using the correct color profile, or you have a really badly written driver for your printer that does not conform to standards. You can hack your way around the latter if you know what you are doing and get reasonable prints, but a new printer might simply be in order. In its quest for the best print quality and 64-bit compatibility with the latest Apple and MS operating systems, the Lightroom folks had to dump some of the old ways of doing things. The same thing happened with PS CS4. This unfortunately leaves some older and consumer oriented printers at the wayside.
Now all this is excacerbated by some bugs in the printing systems of both Apple's OS and Microsoft's, where printer drivers will often simply refuse to give up color managing prints, resulting in dark weird colors. I doubt this is your problem though as it mostly manifests itself when you are using your own printer profiles for different papers instead of the standard ones.

Is there a way to visually see what clips are used in the timeline?

In FCP, is there a way to see in the browser all the clips that are being used in the timeline?
What I am looking for is a column that has a check mark in it if the clip is being used in the timeline.
In a big project, it would be good to visually see what clips have yet to be used.
Just wondering.

This probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but you can turn on show duplicate frames in your timeline.
There is an option in the sequence>timeline settings that when turned on will put a red line under any footage that is duplicated in your sequence.
However there must be a reel number assigned to the clip and the timecode must be unique in order for it to work properly.
Another work around might be to color code each clip as you use it in your browser.

Why can't I see my video in the timeline?

I can hear the audio but can't get the video to play in the time line, how can I get it to show in the source window?

Have you used one of these methods to create a Sequence?
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?

After sending XML back to FCP, not all clips make it to the timeline :(

The clips I sent from FCP were on 3 video tracks (most of them on the 1st). Mostly DVCProHD 720, with some SD DV and a little 2K (which didn't translate to Color). All clips after the 2K didn't come back to FCP, and none of the clips on the video 2 and video 3 tracks came back, either. I wonder...

There's a question in here somewhere, I'm sure of it...
If your 2K clips were on Layer 1, and COLOR lost the plot there, then nothing on layer 2 or 3 would have been seen either, since clips are numbered consecutively along the Layers, with the first clip on Layer 2 being (last clip # on Layer 1 +1) , and the first clip on Layer 2 being (last clip # on Layer 2 +1) and so on.
Mixed formats are usually a recipe for disaster.

Unable to resize and reposition clip once added to the timeline.

Hi. I used to be able to reposition and resize in the yellow box area (I don't know the name of that area) after I dropped the clip on the timeline. I accidentally did something and now I can't resize or reposition my video or images. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

You should just be able to double click on the clip in the program monitor and get an outline that indicates you can move the clip around. If that's not working for some reason, double click the clip on the timeline to load it into the source monitor, then go to the 'effects' tab and use the motion settings to reposition the clip. Make sure to twirl down the small arrow next to the motion settings to get more options.
Also, if you click on the small box to the left of the word 'motion', it should bring up your familiar bounding box in the Program monitor.

Delete the space between multiple clips, at once, on the timeline?

Is there a way to delete the space between multiple clips on the timeline with one click?
I trim clips on the timeline, so I can have a couple hundred clips with space between on the timeline. Is there a way to delete all the spaces between the clips at once?
Right now I have to ripple delete the space between each clip, big hassle and a lot of key strokes. Is there a better faster way to trim clips in general? Or delete the spaces on the timeline?

I have not used the source monitor much. Can I use the sourse monitor to make a lot of cuts "clips" out of one big clip? Say I want to take the highlights out of a long wedding ceremony? Or do I need to do this one the timeline. Edit clips on the timeline is very intuitive to me and I can do it fast, except for all the spaces betweent the clips.
Absolutely ( and I wouldnt do it any other way because it is designed for ease and speed)
Try it:
1.Target a Video and Audio track in the timeline
2. Place the long source file in the Source monitor.
3. Locate the first highlight and Set In and Out Points ( KBD Shortcut "I' and "O")
4.Then Insert it to the timeline ( KBD "," )
Note: there are a number of ways of sending the selection to the timeline (eg.Insert / Overlay buttons, drag it to the Program Monitor, drag direct to the timeline). You can also take video only, audio only, both. Darg options have modifier keys for insert / overlay ripple-ing
Back to the source monitor (step 2) and mark next highlight selection....repeat steps...etc.....
Ensure your CTI (playhead) is always at the end of the last clip in the timeline. KBD short cut "End" and you will have no gaps to deal with.

Stopping clips from moving along the timeline.....

Hiya
Doing quite well with FCE. One thing I haven't worked out is how to 'lock' things in the timeline. eg: if I delete something or change the length then everything else shifts along the timeline.
Please help!

There are two types of DELETE in FCE/FCP: 'ripple' and 'lift.'
A lift delete can be performed using the {delete} key on a standard keyboard (aka as backspace delete). This is the key just below the F11 and F12 keys. A lift delete will delete the selected clip without causing the other clips on the Timeline to shift.
A ripple delete can be performed using the {del} key (aka forward delete). This key is two keys below the F13 key (above the left arrow key) on a standard keyboard. The ripple delete will delete the selected clip and shift clips other clips on the Timeline to fill the gap.
