Can you apply ranged keywords to synchronized clips?

Howdy y'all,
I have two audio files representing separate sides of a conversation, recorded with two separate mics. (This lets me control their levels and such in post, individually.) It's trivial to turn these two clips into a single Syncronized clip, once I make whatever adjustments I wish to them indivudally. So far so good.
Now I'm at the point where I want to log the major sections of this conversation, marking ranges with keywords. But while I can select ranges on the synchronized clip with the range tool (or setting in / out points as I listen), I can't seem to assign keywords to any of these ranges. I can bring up the keyword editor and type stuff all right, but no keyword I thus create ever gets assigned to the syncronized clip. It seems that the most I can do is keyword only one or the other of the synchronized clip's constituent clips. I don't wanna do that; I want to log the whole, synthezied conversation, not just one mic's output.
I have also tried to do this by treating the separate tracks as a compound clip rather than a syncronized clip, and I encounter the same issue.
Am I missing something, or using the wrong FCPX idiom? Or can you simply not log at any level other than at the lowest level of original clips? (Which would make me sad and confused...)
Background: I am yet another person coming to FCPX after cutting my A/V teeth years ago on (in this case) FCP 5. And yes, I'm trying to use this to edit together an audio-only podcast. I got good enough at "classic" FCP idioms that I wouldn't think twice about doing it, despite the lack of a video element in the source, so it seemed natural to use FCPX for this project today. If I am flat-out using the wrong tool, please let me know. But I tried using GarageBand for this, and the lack of e.g. j/k/l made me instantly hate it...

Thanks; that does seem to do the trick.
I don't suppose there's a way to bring up a visualization of a clip's audio waveform in the viewer pane? (I refer to the middle pane in the top row.) I feel a bit crowded working with a lengthy audio track using only that tiny, scrunched view in the browser pane, and I seem to recall that you could change the view in classic FCP to display only the audio.
If I'm just doing coarse-level logging it isn't a huge deal, and I'm willing to concede that this is one thing I have to live with using a video editor on an audio-only project. But it'd be nice to have...

Can you apply keywords and metadata for only some subfolders at import?

I thought I should make a separate thread for my second LR file import question.
It seems that LR authors assumed that most users would download single events or projects but that isn't the case with me. I'm just an amateur with a Canon 30D and a 4 gb CF card. I can get hundreds of raw files on that card and many times I won't download the contents of the card to my computer until I have taken pictures at several different events. So I may have a birthday and a campout and some landscapes in the download and the same keywords or metadata may not apply to all of them. LR allows me to group these different events by date in different subfolders but it looks like the metadata/keywords that you can add at download apply not to individual subfolders but to the entire download, is that right? If I've misunderstood or overlooked something how do you apply different keywords or metadata to different subfolders at download?

As you have discovered, Lightroom applies the same keywords, metadata and any develop settings to every photo during import. The workaround to break the import down into individual events by only selecting one shoot at a time in Import dialog thumbnail window. Deselect ALL of the thumbnails then use the keyboard modifiers such as Opton/Alt, Cmd/Ctrl or Shift to select the particular shoot that you want to import.

Can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?

Hello all,
So you make an event, and you can make Keyword Collections for that particular event, such as "WS" or "Person 1" or "Indoors"... But...
What if those keywords apply to other events?
I am making video content for a particular company. I shoot stuff one day import as an event. The only content that I produce is for this company, so you can imagine there are going to be similar themes across mutable events...

Andy,
Yes you can but that feature only works if you are searching a single event (Pretty Cool/Useful), Creating a smart collection based on what you tick off in the dialogue box... You will get an error message if Searching the drive itself:
LOL
I did some playing around...
I created a new event
Then I ran a search, with Keywords ticked off, Ticking off mutable Keyword Collections.
Then dragged the results into my new event.
This in effect created "saved search results" but Final Cut started copying clips to that event folder that was created on my external HD. I was hoping that It would generate alias files...
I also...
Created a new project
Ran the Search with Keywords
Dragged all clips into the project..
This also in effect created "saved search results" but not really what I was hoping :/

Regarding receiving texts as emails: Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

Regarding receiving texts as emails: Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.

Can you apply the Rotate Spreads Feature?

Hello,
Hope someone can help me...
In Indesign CS5 you can rotate the spreads and this then gives you the arrow icon next to the spread to indicate that it's a rotated view; what i'm trying to do is apply that rotated spread so it's not just the view, it is actually how the document is - is this possible? and if so how??
(what i'm trying to do is turn the last 100pages (50 spreads) of a 200page book upside down without having to re-layout all the artwork etc)
Hope someone can help?!
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the info - my plan (for this one) is to order the pages as needed and rotate afterwards in acrobat; it's what i was going to do before i thought, can you apply rotations!? It isn't ideal as there's a slight offset needed for the bleeds and alignment so the hanging points etc will differ in the 2 setions (it won't really be noticeable but I'm one of those fussy designers!) and i was going to use it as a template for some other work I'm doing but it's no problem - just wont change my mind next time. It was more a question of can it be done as I think it'd be useful.
Thanks for all the advice

HT202789 How can I apply new keywords in iMovie (2013)?

I can't find the keyword button and can't activate it in advanced tools anymore, so how do I apply keywords to clips in iMovie (2013)?

Greetings anadk,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It looks like you've found the article regarding accessing keywords from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2013). While you can use keywords from projects created in previous version of iMovie, this is not a feature of the current version.
You can find some good tips for organizing clips in your iMovie (2013) projects at the Help page:
Library overview - iMovie Help
All the best,
Jeremy

Can you color code keywords?

When I apply keywords to clip segments, the bar that appears at the top of each segment is blue. If I have overlapping segments, each with a different keyword, or two segments back to back, each with a different keyword, it looks like one single keyword application.
Can I color code keywords so that the keyword bars are a different color for each keyword?

I don't think so. But you can click VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO and see the keywords as you skim.

How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

Hi, Alex.
It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                              NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
(WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
     a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
     b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
     a. load your noise print file
     b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
     c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
         are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
     d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
         noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
     e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
         way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
         open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
         adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
     f. once you're happy with your settings, click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
               do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
     a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
     b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
     c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
     d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
     e. click Apply
     f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
     a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
     b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
     c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
     d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
     e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
     f. set the format / type / bitrate (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
     g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
[HERE IS THE CHEAT]
Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track. This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx. I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
Have fun!

Can you apply titles over Photos?

At the end of my video, I added the credits introducing the cast of the play...I created a clip of the name of the actor followed by a clip of a photo of same
But is there a way to apply the text directly on to the photo clip?
Thanks!

Hi Lizette - you can most certainly apply a title to a clip or still. First make sure that the 'over black' box in the Titles Pane is not ticked. Then drag the small blue 'T' to the beginning of the clip over which you want the title to appear.
Just make sure that the clip's duration is sufficiently long to accept the title's duration.
If you did not want the title to appear at the start of the clip, then split the clip before adding the title.
Hope this helps.

How do you apply color fx to all clips in timeline?

and also how can you fast scroll along the timeline? when i use the mouse ball it doesnt scrub left or right past what is in view to get to end or beginning of timeline?

To answer the question in the header, its too bad there is no "apply to all" button in the ColorFX controls. There may not be a way to do it, but try to select all the clips on the timeline (quickie group or simply select all in either the shots bin or use a select first clip / shift_click on the last clip in the timeline and then double click on the saved FX tree in the selection menu. Might not work. If there are no other corrections in the timeline yet, you could save the COLORFX tree as a grade and apply that to all clips in the normal fashion.
As far as scrolling/scrubbing in the timeline, a) you are operating a "three-button" mouse, right? and b) combinations of the buttons, dragging, etc., is the way to expand/contract, scrub and scroll through the timeline. Its covered in the book. It has become a muscle memory for me, so miming the action here at my word processor, I'm thinking a right button drag expands and contracts the timeline and its a middle button drag that scrolls the timeline, while its a left button click that scrubs the content in pseudo playback. Sitting here thinking about it, I don't recall the timeline updates the way FCP does to go beyond the user interface viewer... it hasn't been a show stopper for me.

Can you apply "Indent To Here" in a paragraph style (Bullets & Numbering Section)? ID-CS6/MAC

Hi Adobe comunity,
As the title of this discussion states, can I apply "Indent to here" within paragraph styles. Please take a look at the attached image which will give you an idea of my dilema.
Any info on the matter would be greatly appreiated.
PixelNovae
MAC 10.6.8
CS6 / ID: 8.0.1

Peter,
Thanks. this is definitely a work around. The only problem with this solution is that if a document has a ton of bullet levels, the designer has to perform and keep up a ton of math in order to do proper levels. Which is cumbersome. At the same time time, the Indent To Here (ITH) command is so much more cleaner and efficient specially when it comes to visual alignment of the when "shape shifting bullets" are used.
Example:
i. bullet
ii. bullet
iii. bullet
In the above example, the ITH would create clean copy alignments thorought on all secondary line copy while the -/+ indents would not be able to remain consitent (unless the designer has to tweak every bullet with indent levels). That is, on the above example, the second lines on bullets ii and iii would be irregularly aligned.
So i take it one cannot input the ITH command onto the "Number Field". Hmmph. lol

Critical Updates - Can you apply to XE?

I am running Oracle XE 10.2.0.1.0 on a laptop for development purposes. The network admin sent me an email saying that I need to apply several Oracle critical patches:
Oracle Releases July 2007 Critical Patch Update
Oracle Releases October 2007 Critical Patch Update
Oracle Database Vault Component Unspecified Vulnerability
Oracle Database Data Pump Component Unspecified Vulnerability (CVE-2008-2602)
These are just a few. It is possible to apply critical patches to a XE system? I do not think that XE has Spatial, Advanced Queuing, etc.
Is it possible that the network admin is seeing that I am running Oracle.exe and he is hitting a standard system that looks up patches?
Please advise.

Oracle XE is not supported.
In licence you can find:

Help with IPSEC? Can you apply crypto map to SVI?

Hi All,
Got a problem with a site-to-site IPSEC vpn implementation where one end is using SVI (eg: interface vlan 10).
Does any body know if a crypto map can be applied to a SVI to bring up the IPSEC tunnel? It accepts the command but I can't pass any traffic to/from it.
interface vlan 10
crypto map MY-MAP
Or do you need to apply the crypto map to a physical interface?
I've gotten it working on a sub-interface (eg: interface GigabitEthernet0/0.11) but can't find any documentation that talks about applying it to a SVI and whether this will work. Anybody tried it using SVI's before?
This is to be done on a Cisco 7606 (sup720).
Thanks.
