Can I set in/out markers by elapsed time instead of timecode?

Hi, I think this is my first time on here and since I'm desperate to find an answer I'm going to jump right in with my problem:
After reviewing clips shot with a Canon 5DM3 on a Windows computer the client wrote down on paper their desired Mark In and Mark Out points using the elapsed time of each clip, not timecode, because they don't see the timecode when viewing in Windows Media Player.
My problem is Premiere only uses the camera timecode which I am guessing is the total hours/minutes/seconds the camera has ever shot since it left the factory(?)
Here is an example, for file 1234.mov, the person wrote, "1m32s-2m14s". How can I easily get Premiere to use these elapsed-time positions as the Mark In and Mark Out points?  I have about 50 of these to do and many are within the same clip.
As it is now my only solution has been to use a minutes and seconds calculator against the timecode and then drag and place the head to that position and hit the Mark In button and repeat for the Mark Out. Please tell me a better way.
I found on the metadata tab the in and out points and I'd love to be able to just type these in but it does not work as I expect.
Next time maybe I can find them a free player with timecode but it's too late for this project - I have only these elapsed time positions.
Please help me find a better way.
Thank you so very, very much for any ideas you have!
Bob

If you right click the clips in the bin, you can change their timecode using Modify.
On a work flow note, I never let clients review the raw footage.  I make them send me the media, then I create Window Dubs, send those to the client and instruct them to use only the visible timecode for making notes.  Even when a client comes to me with the review work already done, I get them to do it again using the Window Dub.  In my experience, it's the absolute best way to avoid frustration and errors.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • Can't set in/out points on timeline

    Hello there. I have just downloaded the trial version of Premiere Elements 12, which looks like it might have everything I want in a video editor except... it doesn't seem to have ability to set In/Out points (no button exists and  hitting I/O has no affect, despite being on their list of keyboard  shortcuts). I'm clearly not doing something right. Not being able to  edit quickly via I/O/X feels like being in a car without a steering  wheel. Please help!!

    L Prickitt
    I have already pointed out to you the Premiere Elements 12 ways to trim clips in Expert and Quick - including the Expert workspace Project Assets double click of file thumbnail there to bring up the Preview Window as well as the Quick workspace maneuvers.
    I have observed that the I and O shortcuts work only after the Preview Windows is evoked in Expert workspace by double clicking the file in either Project Assets or on the Timeline. There are different considerations when Preview Windows is used and brought up in those two different ways - from Project Assets vs Timeline. You really do want to be double clicking the file in Expert workspace Project Assets to bring up the Preview Window for your trims.
    However, whether in Expert (Timeline) or Quick workspace (Filmstrip), you can drag the edges of the clip to get a trim.
    Your recent post (4) defines what you want to do.
    - Drop video, sound and voice over clips onto the timeline (either with a mouse or shortcut keys)
    - In the timeline trim the clips most effeciently (for me, anyway) by marking an In Point (by clicking on the I key) and then an Out Point (by clicking on the O key), then deleting the clip (by clicking on X or delete key).
    I would ask this. You cite prior experience in what you want to do. What program did you use - was it other than some version of Premiere Elements?
    I cannot see what you want to be done in Premiere Elements without bringing up and using the Preview Window which may be taking away the quick style that you described for getting this task done. Again, you cannot use I and O as you cite in the absence of the Preview Window.
    Please consider. Knowing the program that you worked with previously would help in the understanding on my side. I have looked at prior versions of Premiere Elements and cannot see what you describe. So, I want to be sure I am not overlooking something.
    We will be watching for further information in the hope that we can put together some sort of compromise workflow.
    Thank you.

  • Can Siri set a Reminder WITHOUT a specific time or place?

    I love siri's Reminder feature, but I can't seem to figure something out.  What if I want to ask Siri "Remind me to buy milk," then siri says "ok, when would you like me to remind you?" I want to be able to set a reminder WITHOUT a specific time.  So then I say "No specific time," and siri dismisses the reminder.
    Is there a proper voice command when she asks "When should i remind you?"  Like "Just make a todo, don't set an alarm"
    Or should I not be asking for a reminder?  Asking for a ToDo hasn't worked.

    I found this in another thread...
    When Siri asks when to make the reminder, just say "Never"

  • How many records can be set in VK11 at the same time?

    Hi!!!
        I have bdc which creates the condition records in vk11. It is working fine if i am sending file with 2000 records but if more number of records are passed in file it is not giving any error but some records only get uploaded in the system.Is there any limit in vk11 to set the records at the same time.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Chetali,
    I dont think there are any limitations for the BDC record upload,
    But instead u can go for BAPI.
    Please refer to the following links for the BDC Upload for VK11

  • Can i set IN & OUT points at the timeline to share just part of it?

    I can't find this feature...Thanx

    I've been right clicking on a clip in the browser or a clip in a keword collection and selecting "open in timeline", you can now share that clip without ever putting it in a project.  Still would prefer a in-out in the main project though to save time.

  • How can I set up an external harddrive with time machine that already has data on it without losing the data?

    I have an external hard drive that I use to hold photos and other files on that no longer fit on my macbook. I also use the external hard drive for back ups set up with time machine. I don't believe I ever did anything to partition it, I've just always had separate folders (Photos, Music, etc) with one being called "Back Ups" (or Backups.backupdb) that my time machine back ups would automatically go into. Recently, I made the switch from my HDD in my macbook to a new SSD of the same size. I used the back ups on the external hard drive to restore all my content, which all worked out fine. My problem now is in using my external hard drive. When I plug it in, it no longer seems to be working with time machine. Also, I was organizing some files within the external hard drive, and when I dragged one into a folder, it took a while to load. Before, it was instantaneous moving a file already on the external hard drive to another location within it. Can anyone help me in getting the external hard drive to work with my new SSD? I don't want to delete any of the folders or back ups that are already on it, since that's the only place I have some of those files. Please let me know if you need anymore details. Thanks! (sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum)

    First, she has to be logged in to the same iTunes account as she used on the old computer.
    Second, when she plugs the iPhone in to iTunes, right click on the phone name and select transfer purchases.
    Third, enter one contact and one calendar entry into the new computer's addressbook/calendar.
    After that, she should be fine.

  • How can I join/Full outer join two different columns instead of union all?

    Hi,
    I have a scenario as the following:
    I am performing set operations using obiee 11g where I want to take values from two different criteria. Howwver, I dont want union to take place, instead i want join to take place to see all the columns in the output.
    For that, I tried changing the sql in advanced tab and tried to put full outer join instead of union all but its not allowing me to change.
    How can I achieve it? please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    My problem is that I am unable to modify the sql in advanced tab. Probably due to some security reason,it's restricting me to change.
    Can you suggest me a way to change it?
    Thanks..

  • Can I set multiple events at the same time to repeat on iCal?

    I know I can do this by manually selecting each one of them and setting it to repeat.
    But it's a pain and it doesn't make sense not to be able to edit more than one event at the same time.
    When I want to set up my weekly schedule I do it for one week and I want to be able to select all the events in that week and set all of them to repeat weekly at once.

    There are editors that bring up the songs one at a time, so you can edit them in a row.  Winamp works that way.  iTunes does not.

  • Can I Set Property of ALV dynamically.. Instead of using MODIFYVIEW....

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Web Dynpro, I have question to you guys.. I dont know is it possible or not..
    Ok the Question is..
    My Requirement is to enable(Editable) or disable(Not editable) the column in ALV, according to so some conditions...
    I have ALV table in my screen and lets assume that i have 20 column..
    I know we can do this in method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of view . But i dont want to do this because every time when i click on the any element of the ALV on the screen it will go to method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" and sets the attributes every single time.
    Can i create a Context node with attributes of this 20 fields and bind the READ ONLY property of the ALV column to each one in context node. So that i can create a Method in Component controller and call that method every time where i disable or enable columns of ALV using a specific Action Button and change the Context node property.. Rather un nessasarily excecuting the method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of view every time for simply on clicking the checkbox of the ALV column or any thing .......
    Hope i have made you people understand my Question..
    Thanks for help in Advance.

  • Setting Build-In/Out markers for multiple animated tracks

    I have built a title that has the the Build-Optional markers so that the user can trim the title without altering the animation timing. However, the title has an additional animation running through the sequence. This means that the Build-In and Out affect correctly the in and out animation (a slide in and out) but they dont stop the retiming of the animation that is running throughout the entire sequence!!! Is there a another method? It doesnt look like you can apply Build-In/Out markers to individual tracks?!

    sounds like you are very efficient in your work.
    You have to be if you want to get anything done in a timely manner, and if you want to be able to find footage quickly.
    I thought that i should do that after the fact, but then i thought that in cases of collecting a lot of rough footage that there may be a several areas of footage you dont want to use that you are asking the camera to play when it doesnt need to.
    Exactly why logging your footage is so important. Not only do you see what you have, but you can make sure you don't capture stuff you don't want or don't need, and that saves tons of space. Plus the mere fact you are logging, capturing and organizing your footage means that you are getting more familiar with what you have. This is of MAJOR importance to an editor.
    I am going to be doing this for a living
    Then learning good editing habits early on is a must.
    Lemme take this moment for shameless self promotion, and point out my Tutorial DVD on how to be organized in FCP:
    Get Organized in FCP
    (I may receive some form on compensation in posting the above link)
    Start out organized and you'll find that you edit much faster and more efficiently.

  • How can I set a due date for reminders?

    I DO NOT want it to remind me at a certain time. I just want it to be due on a certain day. You used to be able to do this when the reminders were part of the calendar on icloud.com, but now you can only set a day AND a specific time for an alert about the reminder, which I don't need.
    And as far as I can tell, you can't change it on the iPhone either. I'm guessing you can still change it on the iCal app on an actual Mac, but the whole point of icloud is that I don't have to carry my computer with me everywhere I go.

    I found a round about way to get the DUE feature.    
         click <<remind me>> and set a day
         select <<daily>>
         clink <<done>> and exit
    go back into the same reminder and you should see a due feature. 
    I then removed the reminder, but kept the repeat. As I use this for a check off for my bills.
    I think this only works if the date you select initially is in the future.
    Let me know if that works,
