Can you ripple tool multiple shots/edits in FCP7?

hi
i'm editing a few weddings and it's driving me a bit nuts!
they're just picture montages to music, audio removed, so no sound synch to worry about
i want to put 1 second dissolves on every shot but to do that i have to make the shots shorter at the in and out of every shot, as without doing this the shots don't have enough footage at the start and end
but if it's every cut that means i have to manually ripple the in and out of each shot before i apply the dissolves - literally hundreds!
is there a way to select every shot and then make the in/out of every shot shorter by the same amount?
that would help sooooo much
this is the way i edit these weddings, for speed:
pull every shot, uncut, into the timeline (they're shot pretty well so not much stuff to cut out), then i shorten the shots at the top and tail to add dissolves, and then time it/finesse it to the music from there, then done
finding a way to trim all the shots together would save me sooo much time so i hope someone can help!
many thanks!

Thanks Shane was just wondering if there was a way round, the weddings are shot pretty slick so I don't even open them in the viewer, just pull all the shots into the timeline and add dissolves there, as there are hundreds of them.
Was just hoping there was a way to select every shot in the timeline and then ripple the start/end of every shot so I could add dissolves to all of them.
When you've done it manually on every shot (or opened each shot in viewer like u say) it's v time consuming and wrist heavy!
It's a real production line situation, rather than a very creative edit, was just hoping for a way to do it that would save me literally hours!
Thanks tho!

    Can you simultaneous sample multiple SCXI-1520 cards in multiplexed mode?
    In parallel mode, you can have all channels sampled and held, and then have each
    of your E or M series cards multiplex through each of the 8 channels of each card.
    This yields simultaneous sampling on all channels at a faster rate in this "SCXI-1520
    Parallel Mode" than you can derive from the "SCXI-1520 Multiplexed Mode."
    Does the "SCXI-1520 Multiplexed Mode" also provide the capability to Simultaneous
    Sample and Hold, all be it at a slower net throughput yield then the "SCXI-1520 Multiplexed Mode?"

    Hello,
    Thank  you for posting to the NI Forums! The SCXI-1520 User Manual does indicate the Simultaneous Sample and Hold can be used with Multiplexed Mode. Please refer to the last two paragraphs of page 69 and the first paragraph of page 70 for a better explanation. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions!

  • Can you hook up multiple pairs of wireless headphones to the MDR-DS6500 base unit

    Can you hook up multiple pairs of wireless headphnes to the MDR-DS6500 base unit or do you need a base unit for every pair you would like to connect to your tv? if you can which models are compatible?
    Thanks

    Do I need an AirPort to attach to each set of speakers that I want to connect, or is there another kind of receiver I can hook up to the speakers that do not have any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth configuration?
    You basically have two choices: 1) Place an AirPort Express base station at each of the speaker locations, or 2) Use an AirPlay-Ready receiver that offers whole-home audio support. The latter would require that all speakers be connected back to the receiver.
    Also, if I am planning to set up the airplay by using the extended network configuration, then the Wifi base station does not need to be an AirPort station? I have Fios and had trouble last time I tried to hook up an AirPort in place of the router that they provided.
    The AirPlay networking protocol requires either a wireless or wired connection between the AirPlay server (typically iTunes) and the AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-Ready receiver or speaker). AirPlay will traverse over an extended Wi-Fi network regardless of which manufacturer hardware is used.

  • Using table comparison transform can you point to multiple tables as target

    Using table comparison transform can you point to multiple tables as target tables?
    Thank you very much for the helpful info.

    If you want to feed the output to multiple tables, you can do so, but you have to be cautious enough on which table to be used as a comparison table in this case. The comparison table provided inside Table Comparison will be compared against the input data set for generating opcodes (Insert / Update / Delete) to input rows.

    So you are saying that the recovery discs I made do include the copy of windows that was originally installed?
    Absolutely! They will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Follow the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

    maybe i can make a deal with wd to have them swap this drive out for the BEKT instead...
    That would be a good idea in any case.
    As I said, the 10-fc12-045d error would not be due to the drive's being AFT, but more likely the discs are not being read properly. New discs can be obtained from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

  • Can you now have multiple Itunes accounts sharing content on one computer?

    Hi - I was trying to find this information on line but cannot.
    The last "big" Itunes update (11.2?) prevented multiple Itunes accounts from sharing content on one computer.  Well, you can, but with consequences. For example, my husband purchased a movie rental with his Itunes account on our computer when he logged on to Itunes, but then I could not download any Itunes content for 30 days when I logged on to my account. I no longer purchase any content from Apple because of this. I was hoping this feature has been discontinued – it prevents households from purchasing Itunes.  We never pirate or steal any content at all. In fact, this feature forces us out of the Itunes universe to purchase movie rentals and music elsewhere.
    Not just trying to complain, really. Legitimately want to find out if this rights policy still exists before we both try to rent or purchase anything from Itunes.
    Thanks.

        "Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
    No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
    So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
    More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.

  • How can you use one image and edit it three different ways to export later?

    I am a new Lightroom 3 user.  How can use the same image and edit it multiple ways to produce mulitple images to later export?  For example,  I have a picture of a bride and groom.  I want to use that image and create a color image, a black and white image, and a close up of their hands.

    Do I need to do either of those options before I start editing the image at all?  For example,  what if I am working on the image and doing some creative edits.  Then I think of another option that I could do.  Is it too late at that time or can I still get the original image to begin with?

  • Can you synch audio with already edited footage?

    Hi there,
    I've been given a half edited project to finish off in Premier Pro, but the problem is there are quite a lot of pieces of footage that have not been synched up to their separate recorded sound! I am very new to Premier (was on FCP and Avid) but I am wondering if there is any way you can synch separate audio with already edited footage on the timeline? If not, it means I will pretty much have to scrap all the work that has been done and I REALLY don't want to do that because it's a lot!
    Any help is really appreciated!!
    I am using Premier 6.0.5 on a Mac Book Pro

    You can't.
    It's not that big a deal, you're going to get the same result applying compression (or any other effect) after the fact.

  • Can you give suggestions on new editing hardware?

    Hi there,
    I try not to post at multiple places but I've already posted at CreativeCow and haven't received a response.  I'm wondering if anyone here has some suggestions for me.
    After searching around I came across Videoguys DIY build suggestions.  Not being a hardware guru I thought it would be best to find systems people are happy with and customize only if needed.  I looked at their 9.5 build and it's about $1,700 without an OS or hdd. Below are my specs and prices from Newegg. But I have a few questions I'm hoping more knowledgeable people could give some guidance with.
    1. I'm wondering if enough time has passed since the 9.5 build that you might recommend other parts or combinations for same or less price?
    2. It would be nice to cut the cost a little since I still need an OS and SSD for booting, but not at the cost of regretting it later. It will primarily be editing Canon DSLR footage and I'm finding myself doing more and more After Effects work too. Would I be unwise to try to cut costs by downgrading any of the current specs below?
    3. The video card they recommended on one page was GeForce GTX 670 ($370) (no CUDA support by adobe). Another page said to go with a QUADRO 4000 ($700+). Currently I'm using an outdated card with the CUDA hack... which... is lacking. I would like CUDA support but I am still on a budget. Any suggestions for a budget GPU with CUDA support?
    Here's the current shopping cart at Newegg:
    Motherboard

    $224.00
    Processor
    Intel Core i7 3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz

    Thanks Todd.  What should I be looking for ias far as speed, timing, etc.?  Reading over suggestions on ram I learned that with this particular mobo and cpu (ASUS P9X79 Pro w/ Intel Core i7 3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz - Neither purchased yet) the Ripjaws "Z" Series was recomended instead of the "X" series.  Because I'm not in a huge rush for it I would like to watch for deals on parts.  Should I set my sights on the Ripjaws Z's or can I get something else (Crucial, etc.)?  If so, what specs should I set as my bar to buy (1600 vs 2133, etc.)?
    Newegg has some Ripjaws Z http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231501 with the following specs for 8x4GB at $246:
    DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
    Timing 11-11-11-30
    Cas Latency 11
    Voltage 1.6V
    Newegg also has some 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231498 with the following specs for 8x4GB at $290
    DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
    Timing 9-9-9-24
    Cas Latency 9
    Voltage 1.5V
    I've read lower voltage is better for overclocking (which I probably wont be doing) but that's about all I know.  The 2133 cards are on sale but I haven't researched enough to know if that's a sale I should grab right now or look other brands.
    Thank you very much for your guidance!
    PS, John T Smith, sorry for calling you "Todd!"  I just caught that.

  • Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button  into the 'Update Form'?

    A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
    This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
    Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
    LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
    contain.Children.Add(border)
    End Sub
    <StackPanel>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
    <TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
    </Border>
    </Grid>
    <DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
    <TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
    </DockPanel>
    <Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
    </StackPanel>
    You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.
    Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer.

  • Crop, can you use for multiple images?

    If you are doing copy work, is there a way to save a crop and use it on multiple images as you might drag an adjusment layer to other images? thanks.

    kevin4545 wrote:
    this is best done in ACR?
    That's what I was going to suggest, actually. If you're working with a file format ACR can take (raw, DNG, JPEG, TIFF), ACR will definitely be the fastest way. You can select them all in ACR, apply a crop, and they all get it.
    Or you can crop one image in ACR, exit ACR and select the image in Bridge, and choose Edit > Develop Settings > Copy Camera Raw Settings. Then select any other images you want to crop the same way, choose Edit > Develop Settings > Paste Camera Raw Settings, and select only Crop as the setting to paste.
    Either way, you'll be done in 30 seconds, much faster than it would take in Photoshop.

  • Can you stop table indicator cell editing?

    Hello,
      Is there a way to disable the ability of a user to edit the cells of a table indicator? I have a table indicator on my front panel and just want it to be a indicator, nothing else. I have found that I can change the contents of a cell in the table indicator and type in any value I want. 
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    A technique I have used at times to quickly disable multiple controls at one time (provided they are located near each other) is to create a simple string indicator that is transparent. Size it so that it covers the controls (in your case the table) that you want to disable. In your code when you want to disable those controls use the property node to make the transparent string control visible. When you want to enable the controls use the property node to set the "visible" attribute to false. This is a simple trick that can be useful at times.
