Can't Join Clips

I have a long clip from a voice over session with pauses that need to be removed. I use the blade or split function and shift-delete the pauses. Then I select adjacent clips, on either side of each cut and try to join them but no joy as the mighty join is greyed out. The only circumstance where join seems to work is when I split or blade a clip and then immediately join it again, as in no time code abridgements and nothing accomplished. The documentation seems to acknowledge this shortcoming by suggesting that one apply time stretch to clips before cutting them instead of trying to apply time stretch to multiple pieces of the same file. However, if you are timing voice over to a finished animation, it's much easier to make time stretch the final step.
Is join just a replacement for a command-Z when you make a cut in the wrong place or am I missing something?

You shouldn't use the Join-function. Just slide a slice to where you want it. When the in- & outpoints of a clip overlap, STP automatically creates a volume crossfade. (when in Preferences > Project > Overlap is set to Crossfade). But even when you leave gaps, there's no problem:
The result should be exported, the newly created file will have a new continuous timecode. The 'Join-function' is only possible on files with succeeding timecode. When you cut out parts and move them on the timeline, their timecode is changed. So they can't be joined.
Timestretching is something completely different, and shouldn't be used here. With this function you can change the length of a piece of audio. It can only be done per clip, not on a selection of clips. But I don't think you want to use this, as you only want to cut out time.

Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??

Hi Sir/ Madam,
My name is Rishav and I am facing some problem with my Photoshop CC. Actually I have a question. If you guys could help me out i will be very obliged. The quest in "Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??"

Maybe you should post over at
Photoshop for Beginners
or start with the "Get Started" section of the Help:
Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
And your question
Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??
does not seem particularly specific – do you want to simply combine two images as they are, do you want to clip elements from the one and insert them into the other, …?
Could you post (lores of) the images and explain what you intend to achieve?

Split/join clips?

iMovie 08, under Edit, has two choices: split clip and join clip. But nowhere in the Help file, that I could find, does it explain what these do, nor how to use them.
Could someone explain.
Thanks,
Hal

If you have part of a clip selected, you can break that clip into pieces using Split clip. So, if you have a section in the middle of a clip selected, it will create three clips. One clip for the part of the clip before your selection, one for the actual video segment you selected, and one for the part of the clip following your selection.
Join clip will reunite clips that have been split this way, assuming they haven't been deleted.

Erratic Behavior When Trying to Join Clips

I'm using Soundtrack 1.5 and getting stuck on what should be one of the most simple tasks -- splitting and joining clips. Splitting is not an issue, but after I split a clip (using keyboard command 'S' or the razor tool, or keyboard command b), when I move the pieces around and try to join them again, sometimes they come back together, and sometimes they don't. I can't see why this shouldn't work every time.
Can someone shed some light on this frustrating and productivity-busting problem?
Thanks.

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, then try joining again and you should get the password prompt.

Can't edit clips to use as cutaways -- help!

Hi,
I think I've hit a wall and what I want to do isn't possible.
I created a movie in Keynote and imported it into IM 09 to use as a cutaway. The problem is that one segment -- in the middle of it -- is three seconds too long. I need to get those three seconds out.
So, I split the clip in two and cut it down in the events section...but I can't rejoin those two segments now. "Join clip" is grayed out.
If I take the clip into the project area and split it there, I still can't join the two segments after the edit. Even if I could, I found that you can't activate the cutaway feature by dragging a clip that's already in the project area. Apparently, for cutaway to work, the clip has to be coming from the event pane.
I can't figure a workaround. If anybody has the answer to this, please let me know.
Thanks!

just to mention: vers 8.0.3 (aka 'iM09') in use here, 'Advanced' options checked..
when you add some part of a clip in a Project, a small orange line in the Clip/Event indicates that..
in my workflow, this gives orientation, what part is in use, and from where I do have to 'ignore' 3sec, 'til I select the next xx secs from that clip (Event) to add it to the project..

Joining Clips

How do I join two clips in the upper window? I can't figure out how to use Edit->Join Clips.

Brad,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If I'm not mistaken, the Join Clips command can only be used to join clips back together that you've split apart.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

I can not join my Apple extreme with the Apple express. I shows a conflict in the network! I've tried everything. How can they join on the same network?

It says that my DHCP has to be changed! How? to what?
It is 802.11g.express. but is set to default by the computer (Macbook Air).
The other is 802.11n. (express)
Extreme is 802.11.g. Is the Main Airport.
It is on ethernet & wep 128 security.

Can you render clips / transitions

I have a new Mac that is very very fast. However, even still some video transitions don't play smoothly.
I can export the whole project into a quicktime movie or .m4v file and see them smoothly, but I cannot see them play smoothly in iMovie.
Is there a way for iMovie to pre-render effects and transitions so that they don't have to be generated in real time (that is too slow for real time)...?
(Many of the source files I'm working with are .m4v files, which could be why the transitions are playing back poorly.)

You can convert the m4v files to Apple Intermediate Codec. That would convert the highly compressed h.264 into full i-frames. You can optimize the clips from within iMovie, or you can do this in MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro.

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

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 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.

How do I join clips in iMovie, the join clip in the edit menu is never available?

I am desperately trying to edit some footage and I have split the clips and then added the footage I want inbetween the split, however I cannot join them back together as the joinclip in the edit menu is never highlighted, am stuck on what to do now, anyone help please?

The Join Clip command is meant to restore a clip that you split and then decide you want to "undo" the split.
It's really not particularly useful or necessary for editing.
The clips you use in your Project will all be effectively joined together when you export (Share) your finished project.
As you're editing your Project it appears as a bunch of separate clips but the finished project will playback as a seamless whole.
