Can You Combine a Bunch of Stills into a Clip?

I have a bunch of stills that I imported and placed into my timeline. I want to apply a transition across a bunch of them (say, 30 or so), but the transition will not work that way. Can I select them all and have them combined into a clip or subclip or something that I can treat as a single clip?
Thx,
Scott

If I understand what you want to do, you have "X" stills in succession (30 or 40, it doesn't matter what the count is) that last 1-2 seconds total. You want to treat these as a group and crossfade them +as a group+ with another clip. Is that correct?
I don't think you can do this using a +Crossfade Transition+ as there are not sufficient 'handles' in the stills to apply the transition. So you will need to build your own crossfade using the opacity overlay.
Here's what I suggest, assuming you already have a Sequence1 with clips edited into it ... and you have a 'Clip1' on track V1 that you want your stills to crossfade into.
Create a new sequence +(File > New > Sequence).+ Call it Sequence2. Then open it in the timeline by double-clicking it in the FCE Browser. You should now have two sequence tabs in your timeline - one for your original Sequence1 and another for your new Sequence2. Click the tab for Sequence2 to bring it to the front. Drag all the stills from the FCE Browser into the new Sequence2. Place them in Sequence2 in the order you want them.
Then click the tab for Sequence1 to activate it and bring it to the front. Then drag Sequence2 +from the FCE Browser+ to the video track above your existing track in Sequence1. (eg. on track V2, above track V1 in Sequence1). You have just nested Sequence2 in Sequence 1. From this point forward, +in Sequence1,+ you will be able to treat Sequence2 as if it were an +ordinary clip.+ I will now call it Clip2 instead of Sequence2.
Move Clip2 so it is directly above Clip1 so that both Clip2 and Clip1 start at the same point in the timeline. (The first frame of Clip2 on track V2 should align with the first frame of Clip1 on track V1.)
Then use the Pen Tool to put a keyframe at the beginning of the opacity overlay in Clip2, and another keyframe at the end of Clip2. Then drag the keyframe at the end of Clip2 down so the opacity overlay line is +downward sloping+ from the beginning of Clip2 to the end of Clip2.
Similarly, use the Pen Tool to place a keyframe at the beginning of the opacity overlay line of Clip1 and another keyframe at the point in Clip1 that is immediately below the end of Clip2. Then drag the first keyframe of the opacity overlay line down to the bottom of Clip1 so the opacity overlay is +upward sloping+ from the beginning of Clip1 to the second keyframe you placed in Clip1.
You should now have your crossfade across all your stills.

    No, you cannot.

  • Can you combine different icloud accounts?

    CAn you combine different icloud accounts?  For some reason, my new iphone 6 keeps on popping up an old email address for icloud.

    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • HT204053 I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?

    I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?

    You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
    window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
    information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
    version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
    If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
    is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
    in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
    info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
    The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
    so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
    link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
    While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
    your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
    a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
    You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
    and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
    on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
    Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
    So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
    PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
    contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
    if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version w/o re-creating the pages?

    Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version without re-creating the landing pages? This seems too extensive to have to re-design each page?

    Cwsnell,
    On your nav bar there is a shorcut to other pages.
    The most effecient way I have found to do this from the phone layout,
    click on the page icon shown above
    type in the name of the page (and select the desktop version as indicated by the icon of the monitor)
    select all on that page (CTRL A / Command A) and copy (CTRL C / Command C)
    revert back to the phone layout page and paste (CTRL V / Command V)
    then resize, delete what you dont need, make any other edits and your done!
    There is not a way to copy a page entirely over.  The mobile version should have less information and less imagery to enable fast load times.

  • Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

    Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

    The first question answer is yes..
    The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
    See remote access tip here.
    AirPort
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
    Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
    Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

  • How can you combine multiple PDF pages into one searchable PDF page?

    I have scanned multiple business cards and now have a PDF  file with over 500 pages (or cards). I would like to be able and create a  page with 8 cards to a page and is still searchable for text. Right now, the text is searchable. Basically have 63 pages and not 500.
    Example:
    If I wanted to find Joe Smith's card, I could search for  "Joe Smith" and it would search all of the text and bring me to the  page(s). Right now, it will bring me to that page. Is there a way to create  a page where I can have multiple cards and the text is still searchable?
    I tried to create a page in Photoshop, made 8 different layers with 8  different cards, but when saved, not only was the file way too large, but no text, or font, was detected  and there was nothing to  search for.
    Is there an option to create a page in Acrobat Professional and put 8 cards to a page?
    I have InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional Pro.
    Thanks,
    mr19th

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • How can you combine 2 shapes while preserving individual colors?

    I want to be able to apply vector textures [for t-shirts for example] by knocking the texture shape out of the original shape. Now, say I have a logo with several layers, or a bunch of shapes together, and I want to apply ONE texture across the entire thing (as a knockout). What is the best way to go about this.
    And as my question asks, how can I combine two objects into one shape without making them one color? Using the pathfinder of course. Aka, while still maintaining individual colors. Thanks!

    I don't have a specific project in mind, but I can mock one up. Okay, so in this example I have a "logo" that has text (in outlines), a gradient, and another shape (it's not a stroke) behind everything. And on the side you can see my texture. Normally, using the "minus front" feature, you can knock the texture out of the shape. But that doesn't work for a complicated combination of shapes (even if it's grouped).
    Solutions for this?
    I should start a whole post about every possible way to apply textures in Illustrator. Because I know a few different ways, but they all seem to have problems....
