Can't rename clip markers?

I am attempting to mark clips on a 40 minute mini-DV project shot 2005. I can delete clips but can never go back to a previous number. Example is I had clip 2 marked but decided to make it clip 1, instead I got clip 3. I deleted all three and tried again but got clip 4, I can't go backwards and start marks over again?

I just deleted all land marked my first clip which automatically is called #8 (I had 7 marked clips before). Somy second clip which is actually #2 is now called #9. Figured I can live with it. Can't do anything else anyways.
But I'll mark all my other clips as fcp demands. No big deal.
Just curious since I've been off FCP for almost a year, what did you mean by not specifying, let me know so I can make my next post more detailed. Thanks.

How can I export clip markers?

Is there any way to export clip markers? When I export to a QuickTime movie and select All Markers neither my timeline nor my clip markers are visible when I bring the exported clip into Final Cut or Compressor.

Both of my markers are chapter markers and I have selected "All Markers", but when I bring the exported clip into Final Cut I see no markers.

After many years using PP I just discovered I can rename clips in my timeline...But!

Yes and I find it most convenient wondering why I did not think of it or try it before. But...That's where it seems to stop. as there seem to be no other reference of this renamed clip. So as helpful as it could be in a project to rename clips according to certain needs, is there a point to it if it can't be connected to anything else like it's original file or at least the one in the project window...?

I just thought after all that I only have to add the "rename" to its present original name so it will keep it for later needs! I already do this in my media folders but forgot about doing here. That's a bonus remembering the day file names were restricted in length!
Thank again

Can't rename audio clips using letters - only numbers

Hi There,
ALl of a sudden I can't rename audio files in the "Audio" tab - it only accepts numbers no letters.
Anyone else seen this?
Am running Motion 4.0.3 on 10.6.7
Any help would be much appreciated.

Um, buddy, you're typing in a time code field. You can only "reaname" in the Browser window.

CAN'T RENAME PICTURE IN N97

Hi friends,
CAN'T RENAME PICTURE IN N97.
I have recently bought a N97 (I have been using a N73 Music) and
need help for this problem -
After taking a still image / video (& before closing the camera
cover - there is a option to rename it - max 31 to 32 characters).
If I rename the photo / video there, then the name is changed (as it
should) - no problem.
- but if I close the cover or exit the camera mode - and then later
try to rename any picture from photo gallery it cannot be done -
as suggested in manual-
"Select Menu > Photos.
To view and edit the properties of an image or a video
clip, select the file, Options > Details, and from the
following:
Title — View the thumbnail image of the file and
the current file name. To edit the file name, select
the file name field"
After editing - the title field shows the edited name - but when the
file is sent to PC or other phone - it is seen that the default name
is persisting (the name in fact has not changed).
Any solution / advise - anyone ? Nokia people - are you listening?

Strange, I've used it since first release, on two phones, and installed it on friends phones without a problem. Should be identical, but try uninstalling and going to Nokia betalabs and downloading from there. One thing to note, you may need to let it load photos for a few minutes first time you open it, then it's really quick, and smooth. Worth trying, it's one of the best apps on my phone.
Good Luck

Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

I have Win7 Pro X64 with Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out...
I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
I've cleaned the cache
What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
Thanks all for any help!

It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

Can I set clip durations in iMovie 10.0.7 for Yosemite?

In earlier versions of iMovie I was able to go to preferences and display the clip durations as described in this link below. I could also see the approximate position of the entire video while it is playing.
iMovie '11: Display the precise duration of video clips
I am forced to use the current version of iMovie because the older version no longer works for me. I cannot find a similar option in preferences or anywhere else. Has this wonderful feature been removed from this software. Right now if someone asks me to edit starting at a specific position I cannot do it. I have to play the entire video to find the portion of it that they want removed. I am working with fairly long videos and having this feature would really shorten the time for video editing.

Hello and thanks for using Apple Support Communities,
Unfortunately, although iMovie 10 added some great new features and brought a more intuitive user interface, some legacy features were discontinues. Chapter markers are an example. While you cannot add 'chapter' markers, you can still add traditional markers by using the Mark item in the menu bar and then clicking add marker. These will not add chapters, however, and will only allow you to quickly find a spot later in iMovie.
Sorry about that, but if you recently updated iMovie to version 10 from an older version, it is possible that the older version is still on your Mac. You can search for it using Spotlight, the search icon in the menu bar.

Batch rename clips in my bin

I have a 30min clip on the timeline and when I find a shot I like, I use my blade tool to cut an in/out. I then drag this cut clip to video layer 2, which is where all my clips will be that will be used in my project.
Then I create a new bin and drag all these shots from video layer 2, to this bin. The problem I’m having is now have to click on each individual clip and rename them manually.
Is there any way I can select all the clips within the bin and lets say auto batch rename the selected clips.
I know I can solve this by placing the clip in the viewer and setting an in/out marker and then make a subclip, however I really like scrubbing through my footage on the timeline because I can view my clip in the filmstrip mode which i'm use to and love cutting my footage this way.
Please tell me this is possible!

So let's come to the point that you explain WHY to batch rename, and what the names will look like.
Do you want to have them numbered?
With my suggested workflow that will be, because if you skip the line where I suggested to type a name, then all subclips will be numbered sequentially.
I understand that's not what you want, but it can be a starter for a workaround, because I think what you are looking for doesn't exist yet. (unless you use batch export, which has the ability to change and add pre- and suffixes; then import; but that will cost time and diskspace).
I'm curious to hear the idea behind your workflow.

edit: Sorry if I seem eager to have you use my workflow-idea. I'm not. I'm just curious what problems you have with it.

Why are my clip markers not saved?

I'm using PE 9. My clip markers are not getting saved.
1) Open a blank test project.
2) Select Organize \ Media.
3) Double-click one of the clips, and the preview window opens with the clip.
4) I move the Current-time Indicator to the point I want a clip marker.
5) Click (menu) Clip \ Set Clip Marker \ Next Available Numbered.
6) When I move the Current-time Indicator away from that location I can see the marker is visibly there.
7) I also set In and Out markers.
My understand (from what little documentation exists) is that that is enough to persist clip markers on that clip, for all future projects that include that clip. However, as soon as I close that clip, all markers are lost forever. I can reopen it (from organize \ media) and see no markers. I can also add it to a timeline, and still there are no markers. The only way I can get markers to save is to add the clip to a timeline, place markers in the timeline, and save the project. This is not supposed to be necessary according to the docs.
As far as I can tell there is no "save" action needed to persist markers, and saving the project seems inappropriate, but I save it anyway out of desperate frustration.
What am I doing wrong?

Neale, thank you again.
Here's one of many references that distinguishes between source clip-marks and instance clip-marks specifically for PE9 (also referenced in many other versions of PE): http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/9.0/Using/WSC22A9AEC-AB3F-4fbc-9F00-F0CBFC211 4CF.html
The image below is of my entire desktop with some scribble added. You can see 3 source clip marks on the preview window (NOT the project timelene which has many more). No matter what I do, those 3 clipmarks will be lost the moment I close the preview window.

Exporting renamed clips from Prelude to PP CC

I'm using Prelude to rename clips for me. But when I send them to Premiere Pro I don't always get the full clip - I only get partial clips.
When I do a direct import through media browser in PP, the entire clips is there.
Am I missing an export setting in Prelude?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

Read native WAVE Cue points as clip markers?

I'd love to see Premiere do that.
We're using a Zoom audio recorder that can store cue markers in WAVE files. Audition can read them, Premiere can't, and I'm not aware of any way to export/import clip markers between those two apps either.

Here's how to get it done.

Link Media loses clip markers CC (2014)?

Not sure if latest update has anything to do with this, but when I re-imported a clip to my Premiere CC (2014) project, I lost my clip markers. (I had to move the media to a new drive.) Link Media re-imports the clips just fine, but all the markers are gone. This happens whether I link to the missing media at the startup screen, or whether I do it clip by clip, or whether I use Replace Footage.
I'm on a Mac (as you can see). Anyone have any thoughts?

I am having the same problem; both Premiere and Audition are CC 2014 versions. The clip is output as a.wav file to an Adobe Audition Interchange folder, but isn't opening Audition. Doing it outside the dynamic link all works of course but not as it did with CS6. I am calling the video clips from an external drive; I am wondering if I need to have all the working files within the same folder on the same drive? I shouldn't have to, of course, but maybe this is a bug that has crept into this version.

Clip markers to chapter markers

Hi all.
Is there a way to take clip "chapter" markers and turn them into timeline chapter markers?
Thanks.

Jeremy,
Assuming you are talking about replicating markers from clips to timeline (or vice versa), and you've made a lot of markers, here's a tip:
If you are transferring markers from clips to timeline, highlight marked clips by selecting them in the timeline. When the marked clips are highlighted, pressing (shift)(up arrow) and (shift)(down arrow) jumps to next and previous markers, respectively. This will position the playhead to mark the timeline - however, you will have to de-select the clip in order to set the timeline mark. You can then press (shift)(cmd)(A) to "deselect everything," followed by pressing (M) to mark the timeline.
It's a bit awkward, but you could do this with the following keystroke sequence:
+(Make the Timeline the active window (cmd)(3) and place the playhead to the left of the first marker to transfer.)+
1) (cmd)(A) selects all clips in the timeline
2) (shift)(M) jumps to the next marker in the selected clips
3) (shift)(cmd)(A) deselects all clips in the timeline
4) (M) marks the timeline at the position of the current clips marker
Repeat steps 1 to 4.
Going the other direction (copying timeline marks to clips - important if you've accidentally marked up the timeline and realize that when you start ripple deleting clips that your down-stream marks will all go out of sync) is much easier and faster:
+(Make the Timeline the active window (cmd)(3) and place the playhead to the left of the first marker to transfer.)+
1) Highlight the clips to be marked.
2) Press (shift)(M) - this jumps to the next mark whether it is in a clip or the timeline.
3) Press (M) to mark the timeline.
By alternately pressing (shift)(M) and (M) (steps 2 and 3), you can rapidly copy timeline markers to highlighted clips.
By default, markers placed in the timeline are NOT "chapter" markers. To set them as chapter markers, press "M" twice - once to set the marker, and a second time to open the Edit Marker dialog. In this dialog, you can add Chapter, Compression and Scoring Marker attributes to markers. You can also change existing markers (by pressing "M" once while the playhead is parked exactly on a marker using methods mentioned above).

Clip markers are gone??

Prior to CS6 I would use clip markers (on each video clip - not the sequence markers) to synch up multiple cameras in a sequence. Now in CS6 they are gone. Can anyone tell me where I cam find clip markers in CS6.
Thanx in advance,
Mel

By default, you can now only work with Clip Markers in the Source Monitor.
There is a keyboard shortcut that you can set to return the ability to add them in a sequence, however all other clip marker activity, including navigation, has been removed at the sequence level.
Please file a feature request to have Adobe restore what they took away, which is full clip marker functionality in the sequence.

Applying clip markers in CS6 stops playback

Pressing the 'M' key marks the timeline okay, but how do you mark individual clips on the fly? In timeline, it does not mark clips at all. If I bring the clip into the source view, I can mark with the M key, but it stops playback. It also marks every instance of the clip in the same timeline.

Ok - I see how to add the Clip Marker functionality back.
Now is there any way to see those markers in After Effects CS6 via Dynamic LInk?
I do my audio in Premiere - and it would make things much faster if I could place markers in Premiere that I could then use in After Effects to decide where to trigger varied effects or place other media.
Thanks
Hi reindeer4,
Yes, clip markers are intact with Dynamic Link. Sequence markers are not supported, however. You must import a Premiere Pro project to After Effects for those.
Thanks,
Kevin
