Can't Set In And Out Points

HI guys,
Problem here. I'm trying to use Control-P to navigate to a specific spot in my clips (in the Event browser, not the timeline). When I type "Control-P" and then type, for instance, "253809" (To go to 25:38:09), the Dashboard instead displays "25:37:08", and goes there instead. Why is this? Am I doing something wrong?
--A.H.

I just tried that (didn't know about it... thanks!) and it worked fine here. Sure you don't have shaky fingers?

Setting In and Out points

Is it me or is it a complete PAIN to set in and out points in 7? Used to be easy. It's almost impossible sometimes to grab the playback head without it selecting an i/o point. Once I finally do get the markers where I want 'em, the In point moves when I press play?
What the ****?

You can use the arrow keys (right left) to step through frames. You can use the letters i and o to set in and out points.
Hold down the shift key (after setting a point) and you can use the arrow keys to create a selection.

Setting in-and-out points -- is this possible?

I set in-and-out points in the preview window by dragging the blue triangles.
I would like to sample various parts of a clip, though there are only 2 triangles.
1. Is there a way to take one segment of video and establish in-and-out points for maybe the first 30 seconds of video and than set another in point maybe 1 minute later with a out point 30 seconds after that. So ultimately the encoding will encode two non-sequential segments of video.
Thanks.

You can't do that, but you can achieve what you want by simply dragging in the clip multiple times into Compressor and for each clip, set your in and out point.

Can you set in and out in FCP X

can you set in and out in FCP X

Yes, but its usefulness depends on what you are trying to do.
In and Out Points are no longer options on ingesting clips (formerly "Logging and Capturing") into FCP.
You can use I/O Points to select clips in the clip browser (good for attaching keywords & metadata...a nice addition to the new FCPX). I honestly haven't used I/O points in the Timeline to understand it's complete functionality.

How do I globally set in and out points on a large number of images?

As the post asks: How do I globally set in and out points on a large number of images before sending to the timeline? In AVID I can do this in the Script view. How do I do it in FCP?
Thanks in advance

Thanks. I assumed I needed to set in and out points. I have not done an image sequence in FCP. If I have a 10 second image and a 2 second transition, but then change the duration of the transition to say 4 seconds then FCP will let me alter the transition duration?
With regards to movie clips, what happens with setting global in and out points? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance

New problem/bug when I set in and out points on a clip. Unwanted automatic zoom in on clip timeline.

Playing clips to log and set in and out points for scenes I will use later. Something changed with the new update and I think it is a bug. When I hit the I and O keys to set in and out points on a clip before dragging to the sequence, it zooms in on the clip timeline. I cannot see the full clip time line unless I zoom out which is a pain to do time and time again. How do I get it back to the way it was before? It did not used to zoom in and out, it just marked your in and out point as it played leaving the clip timeline unchanged.

Fcp x 10.0.9 I can't select in and out points while importing media, and scrubber won't work in event browser.

I have two problems, and I have already un installed and reinstalled FCP X, and still have the issues.
1) In the import media window I can no longer select my in and out points to import. Pressing the "I" and "O" keys, I just get the audible error beep.
2) in the event browser I can select the in and out points, but it will no longer scrub through the clip with the cursor.
I do have OSX Mavericks installed, but the issue was prior to the install.

Tom, perhaps I used the wrong terminology, skimming not scrubbing. In the event browser on the thumbnails of my clips, I recall being able to skim to a point and then select the in and out points. It apparently is solved. I guess the reinstall fixed it. Well like taking your car to a mechanic its not making the clicking sound now.
As far as the import. I think by your response you solved the problem. I can select the in and out point when I import from a camera or my iphone, but I did not realize you could not select the in and out points from a video file already on my hard drive.
I appreciate your responce, and have a great day.

Setting in and out points in list view.

I am in list view. I am showing several favorited clips from one video. Say I am playing back the third favorited range and I want to select in and out points for that favorited range. The video is playing and I hit i. I am immediately jumped from the favorited range I have selected to the first favorited clip in the list. When I click back on the clip I was setting the in point for I find that it has set the in point where I wanted. The entrire process then repeats when I try to select the out point. Set out point. Jumps up to first clip. Click back on original clip to get to my out point.
This is very frustrating and makes using favorites and list view a huge waste of time. Can anyone help?

That should not happen. Before anythign else, do these two things.
1- Go into the "Final Cut Pro" menu, "Command", and be sure "Default" is checked. Quit out of FCP X.
2- Open System Preferences (Apple menu), Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts. Click the "Restore Defaults" option. The issue here is OS shortcuts will override app shortcuts.
3- Launch FCP X and try again. If that doesn't fix it...
4- Download the free app "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and use it to delete the FCP X pref files.
After you've done all of these, report back and let us know what's up.

Problems with set in and out points

I am editing a basketball game-have done 20 of these games. Suddenly, I cannot change the set in point. If I make a new set in point, my last edit disappears from the timeline. How do I correct this?

I DO make sure the clip in the timeline is not selected when I set the new in and out points in the source clip. I have not been able to figure out anything that is different from the usual way I do this that is why this baffles me. I use PP daily and this seems to happen about once a month. I can't figure it out. I save, quit and restart the computer and then it works as it should. I was trying to understand so that I could prevent this from happening.
I do appreciate your common courtesy, Craig.

Setting In and Out Points for Render

Hi everyone!
I was wondering how to tell color to only render from and in and out point, instead of rendering for a whole clip. In FCP I take a ten minute capture, then break it up into sub-clips for each shot, and then edit some of these sub-clips into my video.
When some of these sub-clips require correction in Color the sequence gets sent to color just fine, but when it renders my changes it renders it to the whole clip that the sub-clip came from. This takes too much time because I only need the sub-clip to be rendered, not the whole clip, because that's all I use in my video.
How can I fix this extra rendering? Thanks in advance!

I think that you might find the answer to your question on this link below.

Cant set in and out point on browser in fullscreen mode

Hi
I would like to make a 3 point edit using the brownser on fullscreen mode on FCPX.
Someone now how?

Thx for the answer.
No, without Dual monitor.
I selected all my clips and transform they on a Compound Clip on the Browser.
Then I toggle to Fullscreen mode, because I believe that I could just play my clips and create In and Out points and insert they in the timeline on the fly.
Even if the clip is a standalone clip I cant make in and outs while on fullscreen mode, actually any key I press I hear the ''thu'' sound.

Problem with 23.98 can't type in and out points

Using FCP 6.06 with G5 and Kona 3. When I try to either digitize footage or edit to tape in 23.98 fps I can't physically enter a timecode value. When I do and hit enter it defaults to a random timecode. It will not except the number I type.
My gen lock is fine. I even ran a direct reference from our HDWF500 deck directly into the computer. Kona was happy, I had deck control but no ability to type in my in out points.
The easy set up I had selected was Kona 3 10bit uncompressed 23.98spf.
The strange thing is that it works fine with a 29.97 or 59.94 tape or time line.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This actually happens to me all the time in FCP - never in Avid's capture tool.
Usually I open and close the capture tool (Apple + 8). Pull the deck control, change deck control settings to non-controllable and then back again. A tell tail indicator that your deck isn't talking to your Kona is the jog/shuttle in the capture window. I test that before I type timecode into the window.

Can I control the in and out point of a layer with a keyframe?

Hi all, I'm working in a sort of template for a series of mograph videos. Some sort of motion typography work.
The animation is always the same but the only thing that changes is the length of the video (for legibility purposes).
I was wondering if I can control the in and out points of a layer with the keyframes from another layer.
Lets say Layer's A keyframe from slider 1 position in time is the out point (plus/minus an offset would be also great) of layer B.
I've been playing with expressions on a regular basis but I don't really know where and how to write an expression like that or if it's possible.
Thanks in advance

This should probably be moved to the expression forum then.
I'm not sure I understood the details of your project but here's a basis: you can do that with an expression in the layer's time remapping property. So if you want a layer to start playing at the second keyframe on another layer, you can try something like (writing in my browser, watch for mistakes):
//   The "number" of the keyframe (first, second, third, etc)
var index = 2;
//   The layer with the keyframes
var l = {pick-whip the layer with keyframes here};
//   Just a safety, check the layer has at least enough keyframes
if (l.numKeys >= index)
     //   If yes, the new time is the difference between the keyframe's time and the current time
    max(0, l.key(index).time-time);
else
     //   Doesn't matter, let's return 0
    0;

In and Out points not showing in source monitor

I've noticed this in the past couple of days: setting in and out points in the source monitor, the indicators don't show in the time ruler. In other words, even though I set the in and out points, it looks like nothing has been selected.
If I put the clip into the timeline, the in and out points I chose are respected, but they just don't seem to register in the source monitor, so I can't have confidence in what I have selected.
If I open another clip in the source monitor, then go back to the one I was working on, magically the in and out points are there again. Strange...
At the same time, if I apply audio gain to a clip in the source monitor, it sometimes doesn't "take". It shows that gain has been added, but there is no change in the sound volume when I play it back in the source monitor. Again, if I put the clip in the timeline, the volume is as it should be and the waveform reflects this.
So, is there some underlying bug affecting how clips are dealt with in the source monitor?
I'm on the latest version of Premiere CC 7.2.1 on Windows 8

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll try and answer each one:
Is the Source Monitor zoomed out to show the whole clip? If not, please zoom out to see if the In/Out points are getting painted in the wrong place initially.
Yes, it is zoomed out.
Do the clips have non-zero start timecode? If so, please try with a clip with zero-based timecode. (If you don't have one handy, you can create one fairly easily by exporting a sequence with start TC of 0;00)
The problem is intermittent and in this project all the clips are DSLR .mov files. The problem occurs with some of these and not others.
Have you done anything like setting a custom start timecode or interpreting footage to change the frame rate?
I haven't set a custom timecode. It's true that there is a mix of 24p and 25p clips in the project, but surely this only presents issues in the timeline rather than the source monitor? In any case, I haven't gone to interpret footage on these clips.
Is this happening with all types of project items, including simple clips on disc, or only with certain items like merged clips, multicam sequences, subclips...?
In this project, the only type of clip I'm using is simple clips. There are nested sequences; I'm not sure, but possibly the problem has also presented itself when these are brought into the source monitor - but not exclusively with those.
I hope this helps. This is the first project I have worked on since the latest upgrade and I didn't come across this problem before. As I say, it is intermittent, and it's hardly crippling - just annoying when it happens!
Thanks

Video after In and Out points Changed

After opening up a video in the Viewer and setting In and Out points, and dragging it back to the Browser afterwards:
1. I tried changing the name of the clip that I dragged back to the Browser, though it changed the names of the other clips in the Browser to the same name. Why?
2. How come when you double-click on the new clip and it shows in the Viewer, it shows the In and Out points as well as the video from the original segment around it. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I thought it was supposed to just display the segment of video starting with the In point and ending with the End point.

1. do some reading in the manual. Might try making the clip independent.
2. Yes. I know it may seem weird, but it has some really powerful uses. Double click on a clip in the timeline, it loads in the viewer. You can then change your in and out points in the viewer and they will be reflected in the sequence. (with some limitations). If you want to "isolate" the material between an in and an out, check out "make subclip."
This is very basic fcp stuff. Skim the manuals, explore the menus, you'll figure this stuff out pretty quickly.
