Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip.  Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    I've recently started to use Numbers on my macbook pro but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use.
    Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

  • Can you create a new table from an Excel spreadsheet

    It would be GREAT if there was a way to use SQL Developer to take an Excel Spreadsheet, and create a new table based on it - does anyone know if that's possible?
    Thanks,
    Brad Blake

    Excellent - yes, from the thread on the SQLDeveloper website, it looks like you will be able to create a new table from an .xls file - very cool!
    Does anyone know when version 1.1 is supposed to be coming out?

  • How can I create a new table from a filed cell?

    Every time that I fill a row of cells I want to creat a new table with the content of that cells.
    How can I do it?
    Donw here it´s the example.
    From the top table, I want to fill these rows, and everytime that it´s done, I want that a new table apears like the cells under.
    There is any Way to do it?
    In the Spanish version of Number I found in the references formulas, one formula called "DIRECTION" that describes to do this.
    But I found no way to do it.
    The above formula it´s this:
    =DIRECCION(row; collumn; type of direction; stile of direction; table name)
    Anyone can help me?
    I really need this solution.

    Otto,
    Based on the syntax you quoted for that function, the english equivalent is "Address". It doesn't create a Table, but rather it creates an Address that references a Cell, in the form of a String. The common, and only, use that I am aware of for Address is to use it as the parameter for INDIRECT. For example: INDIRECT(ADDRESS)) will produce a reference to a table cell, but it will not produce a table.

  • Multi cam synced, can't create the new seq from clip

    multi cam work flow.  trying to follow through the tutorials and help - but stuck.  I have synced 2 cams with audio, next step says to create new sequence from clip - but when I do all I get is a 1 second sequence (it should have been 15mins.  Tried all the methods listed, now randomly trying select all, targets tracks, etc, ? 

    edit -
    That helped, back at it - thanks.  New trouble -  although I can now make the multi-cam target sequence of the correct duration, I move into program monitor for editing the multi cam display enabled, the separate sources/cams no longer show in the window...  it's just blank.  I've checked my vid drivers- up to date with manufacturer (not windows) updates. 

  • Can I create a new station from playlist?

    I see that one can create a iTunes radio station from a song, or an artist. but what about a playlist? surely that is super easy to impliment? does the feature exist?

    you can't edit a swf file with another swf file. you could
    setup a main swf file to use a database (like xml or even mysql)
    and you could create another swf that edits the database thereby
    changing what main swf displays.

  • Can I create a new 'master' from an existing 'version'?

    All,
    I've spent a few hours poking around the forums but haven't seen this question posed.
    Can I take a 'version' and turn it into a 'master'?
    I would like the ability to export masters and my 5* versions out at the same time in the .nef format. If there is a way to turn finished versions into masters, my problem is solved.
    If that isn't possible, can I export masters and versions at the same time (so that I keep masters and their versions with consecutive counters in their filenames)?
    Or, am I completely out to lunch?
    P

    I think you could take a version and turn it into a new master if you export the version to your hard drive, and then import it as a new file. I don't know of a way to convert a version to a new master within Aperture. I also don't know of a way to export a master and all it's versions at the same time - it's two separate functions in the file > export menu.
    Keep in mind when you export masters, they are exported as exactly the file format they were imported as (RAW, jpg or TIFF) except possibly the name. When exporting versions, though, you cannot export as a RAW format - the only choices are jpg, png, TIFF or PSD.

  • Can I create a new itunes account and still keep everything I have right now on my iPhone?

    My family uses the same itunes account but I want to have my own now. I was wondering if I can create my own itunes account along with keeping everything in my iphone now including apps, music, contacts, mail, texts, etc.

    Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

  • How can I create a new Music Library?

    Had to buy new laptop which of course has Vista. The old unit was acting up(I think Windows XP was corrupt), so I saved my Library Files but it looks like the old machine only saved portions not the whole Library. I had approx. 13,000 tunes (35GB) in the LIbrary and all that was saved seems to be 319 tunes. I have all the music on an external HD and only the Library was on the laptop. My question is, how can I create a new Library from the external HD music? Is there a way or am I SOL? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need the entire libary on the external, not just media.

    Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.  You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
    Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files.

  • Create .me address for iCloud? I already have one. Please help.

    In Mountain Lion, I log into iCloud preferences using my Apple ID. (which is my gmail address.)
    The preference boxes to sync notes and mail are unchecked. When I check them I'm asked to CREATE a .me address.
    I already have a .me address that I use every day (I did move it to iCloud successfully). But it won't accept my longtime .me address when I enter it there. It tells me my address is already taken and asks me to create a new .me address for syncing mail and notes.
    How do I just use my EXISTING .me address and get past it asking me to create one that can then never be changed?

    Pomme,
    I think he meant I'd need to create a new .me email address, or use my existing .me address. I ended up using my existing .me address because I moved it from Obie me to iCloud when you were allowed to do that. I used this for iCloud syncing instead of the applie I'd that I'm locked into, which is my gmail address.
    So I think what he
    Suggesting is that you create a new .me address. I believe you can do that in iCloud email now.

  • Is there a way to restore a movie clip after you have closed the swf

    Can you restore the state of a movie clip after you have closed it?

    Could you explain more about what you mean by "assign component parameters" because I dont understand. Is this something I would do before it closed? Maybe I failed to explain clearly. i really need some help on this because i have no idea where to start. I have created an app, but I want a user to be able to reopen the app after close and pick up where they left off, or be able to change one thing and not have to start from the begining. I have searched around and cant find information on what i need so Im starting to wonder if that is possible using as3?

  • ICloud asks for a new .me account.. but I already have one!

    Hi,
    I just updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I noticed that, in order to sync notes with iCloud, you need to use a .me account.
    iOS prompts me to create a new .me account but what if I already have a .me account? It does not allow me to use the old one.
    For the instance, my account @ Apple is with a GMail address and the .me address I have was created more than a year ago in order to test the old mobileMe.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    i am having the same problem.  I already have a .me account and when switching to icloud it keeps asking me to create a new one. 
    any suggestions?
    thanks

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Regarding iCloud storage check out
    iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
    I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
    Take care,
