Can you render clips / transitions

I have a new Mac that is very very fast. However, even still some video transitions don't play smoothly.
I can export the whole project into a quicktime movie or .m4v file and see them smoothly, but I cannot see them play smoothly in iMovie.
Is there a way for iMovie to pre-render effects and transitions so that they don't have to be generated in real time (that is too slow for real time)...?
(Many of the source files I'm working with are .m4v files, which could be why the transitions are playing back poorly.)

You can convert the m4v files to Apple Intermediate Codec. That would convert the highly compressed h.264 into full i-frames. You can optimize the clips from within iMovie, or you can do this in MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro.

Can you use audio transitions if you forgot to add handles??

SO i completely forgot to add handles and i was wondering if you can still SOMEHOW add in audio transitions if you can how do you do it!?? SIGGHHH and also what's the best time limit to have for handles or does it depend on what you want?

As it says in the *FCP User Manual (III-374):*
Clips must have handles if you want to transition between them.
In order to get some handles, you will need to trim your clips. Read the manual section on rolling, it is a very helpful tool to understand.

Can you lock clips?

This is a basic feature that I've looked for and can't find.
I finished my rough cut and I started doing sound and color grading. During this process of sound and color grading, there were clips where I wanted to DELETE a specific effect attached to the clip. This inadvertantly deleted the clip itself, accidentally, in some places and I didn't realize it until I went back to play the entire scene.
After doing a rough cut, is there any way to lock clips so that you can't delete them accidentally but you can still add FX to them?
Thanks!
Scot

The absolute fastest thing you can do: instead of removing the effect -- just turn it off. Click on the blue square on the left side of the Effect's name to toggle it off (it will turn black) . You don't accidently delete your clip... and if you want to reuse the effect later, all you need to do is turn it on (click the now black square). No need to re-set everything up. It's also a good way to try out different combinations of effects quickly.

Can you merge clips together?

I used a green screen and chroma keyer and and all of that stuff to put an object onto another background. In the timeline the object clip is above the background clip obviously, but i want to know if i can merge those to clips so it is all just one. I know this isn't a tutorial place but i can't find the answer anywhere else online.
Thanks,
Nate

Not technically, no, but you can "nest" sequences, which essentially does the same thing. Drop the clips into a new sequence, then in the browser, drag that sequence into your first sequence just as you would a clip.

Can you put multiple transitions on one slide??

I'm working on a storyboard for a iPhone app using MockApps templates. The whole presentation walks the user step by step on how my app will work. Its a interactive keynote where all the buttons have hyperlinks to the corresponding slides. Each of my slides has about 2 or 3 buttons each with a hyperlink pointing towards different slides. I figured out how to get the transitions from slide to slide. But is there a way to have a transition for the hyperlinks? So essentially I'll have three different transitions for three separate hyperlinks going to three different slides, but the three hyperlinks are in one slide.
It'll flow like this:
Slide 1 has three buttons, ButtonA ButtonB ButtonC (all buttons have been hyperlinked)
ButtonA takes you to Slide 2 using Perspective transition
ButtonB takes you to Slide 4 using Object Push transition
ButtonC takes you to Slide 7 using Revolve transition
Is that possible???
Thanks!

I suspect you'll need a custom question in that case. If there is only one correct answer, maybe you could try the Advanced Answer option that has a possible action.

With fcp can you render/burn project to dvd?

Can Final Cut Pro render/Burn project to a DVD?

FCPX has a basic Export to DVD feature which will finally burn a disk.
'basic' because it has no fancy design nor menu options such as iDVD, DVDSP or Encore etc.-

Can you 'favourite' clips, and have an option to show which clips in the project panel are currently in a sequence?

Anyone any ideas on the above questions?

If you click on the text it will bring the playhead to that position.

Can you get clips from you tube onto your ipod?

Of course. Just copy the URL of the video and paste it on www.vixy.net/. From the drop down box choose MP4 for iPod and hit start. Then when its done download it and drag it into your itunes and your iPod.

How can i make a transition between clips on cutaway?

But if I want ONLY fade out (or in) I can't do it...
OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

Can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, rather than single actions only?

can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, or only a single transition between two individual clips, which then must be repeated throughout the entire timeline? It would save time to do entire timeline with one transition action.

As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

Can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?

can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?
i want to make a slide show with my pictures and i dont want to add fade in/out 400 times so is there any batch transition or one click fade in/out or at least something like that?

Use:
1. Automate to sequence and select the transition you want, or
2. Apply the transition in the timeline, copy, select the rest of the clips and paste attributes.

Can you add transitions in iMovie11 between two freeze frames?

I am trying to add a transition between two freeze frames but when I do, my entire movie goes black and appears to freeze. My freeze frames are over 30 seconds long so timing shouldn't be an issue. Any suggestions?

As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

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...
