Cannot speed clips up without it ruining edit points

Hi I am having real nightmares with Premiere. It just never seems to do even the most basic tasks properly.
I am simply trying to create a benny hill style spoof. I have cut the sequence at NORMAL speed. Then I selected all video clips in the sequence and chose Clip Speed Duration and put in 250%. I have tried both with Ripple Edit on and off. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Each time it speeds up the clips but the edit points maintain the exact same positions in time. In other words the whole sequence is screwed up because at 250% speed, each clip effectively runs longer and the edits are useless. What could it possibly think I mean when I speed up the clips and then tell it to ripple edits? I have absolutely no idea what is going on here? Is this yet another bug with this software. I have recently moved from Final Cut and never had any such problems in that tool. Does anyone know what is going on? I tried nesting the clips into one but then the option to set speed is not available so that's useless.
Thanks for any help or an explanation of why this is happening. This is CC2014 by the way

Ok I just worked it out. I have to click the link thing next to speed. I can't say I'm impressed with this usability though. If I have created edit points why would I want to trash them by speeding up a clip? Surely it makes complete sense to scale the edit as well. So if I'm speeding up all clips, logic would suggest that the sequence will be shorter surely. The way this works by default is completely non sensical in my opinion. Of course it may be that I accidentally activated this option and the default is to scale clips on changing duration. Any suggestions here?

My clips are pausing at edit points. Any idea why?

Hi, I'm editing some quicktime (.mov) footage that I have ripped from a domestic DVD camcorder in FCP 7. It plays fine and there are no issues with the quality. However, when I cut the footage and move it alongside another clip, it pauses at the edit point and then continues. It will then pause at the next edit point and so on. Why is it doing this? Are my settings out? I've checked them out and they seem ok. When I move a clip away from being adjacent to another clip it plays fine. It just doesn't like having neighbours. Is this a common problem and is there a simple fix for it? Please advise.
p.s. My apologies if this isn't written in the correct format. This is my first post.

Thanks for your reply - as you can tell it's taken me a while to return to this project.
I ripped the footage as a QT mov using H.264 codec at a bit rate of 2,500. The resolution is 720 x 480.
My FCP set up is - DV Pal 48khz. This is my usual setting and normally welcomes QT movies.
Do you think I need to change my settings? Or do I need to convert the source footage?
Your advise would be appreciated.

Trim shortcut doesn't always select edit points

Hello my trim mode shortcut isn't always working. When I press T, the majority of the time nothing happens. I've checked in my keyboard shortcuts and T is indeed the key for trim mode.
I've found that if I maually select edit points then press T it will go into trim mode, but only for that edit point. If I press up/down trim mode will go away until I select a edit point again.
If I press T and don't have any edit points selected the program doesn't respond at all.
Previously trim mode was working normally, but I've started a new project and I'm not sure why it stopped.
I have Adobe Premier CC and I'm pretty sure it's the latest version since I'm only 10 days into my trial.

Ok I checked my version, it's 7.2.1 (4)
In this video at 1:43, he presses T without having any edit points selected and it selects an edit point.
https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/dynamic-trimming-and-editing-with-the-keyboard
That's what's wasn't working for me.
Today it seems to be working for me again, however I still don't know what I did to make it stop working yesterday. If there is something I did wrong I like to know so I know how to fix it if I have this problem again.
Either way thank you for the help.

Importing/copying edit points without combining them into a single clip

Am new to fcpx, I imported a clip and I am tring to import/copy all the edit points from a different clip's timeline to it's timeline without it joining all the edit points into a single clip. How do I do that?

Hi - thank you for replying, basicaly I am draging clips from the events browser into the timeline where I have been making my edits. So far I have an extended version of edits on the timeline and wanted to create a shorter version of the same edits without loosing the edits for the extended version.
So the way I am currently managing this is by creating a new event under the same project and then draging the clip (with all the edits from events browser) and droping it into the new event, in the events browser. This way I have a new copy of the same clip with all the edits preserved so that I can make changes to it after opening it on the timeline, this way without affecting the original extended version of edits which is now in a different event.
If there is a better way of doing this which I am not aware of, and as per your request I am adding an image of my timeline below :

Adding a preset to an already edited photo without changing the edit

Can someone please help me with adding a preset to already edited photos without changing the edit. Basically I will edit an entire wedding and then I go back and pick out favorites for my bride and like to add the same artistic edit over them. Since they are already all edited to my clean beautiful photo, (color balance, exsposure, editing for maybe none ideal lighting during ceremony) I would think there would be an easy way to add a preset without having it change all my adjustments I made so to speed up my process. I know If I bring my photos to photoshop and bring them back into lightroom it pretty much resets it to basic, but I am sure there is an easier way to do this rather then having to open photoshop. Thanks in advanced!

Ensure that the "artistic edit" preset only includes the adjustments that are necessary. If, for instance, it
should add a vignette effect, then make sure the preset doesn't include other adjustments like exposure, because that will make the preset override the carefully-chosen exposure in the clean beautiful version.

I cannot view clips on the viewer window - as it appears black, However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.

Hello!
I cannot view any of the clips (not from event browser nor from timeline) on the viewer window - as it appears black/or blank/ or static ! However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.
P.S I have chosen the filter: ALL
Please help me with that I'm getting desperate ! I need to finish a project within one week :(
A million thanks in advance

Hi F. Carl
The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
The issue is:
I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

The task cannot be processed further until the current edit session is act

Dear Sir/Madam
I have installed standalone Oracle WebLogic Server 11g(10.3.6) with Sherman Update3,for I used JDeveloper 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0).
I Sometimes got below message for several times and it can be repeatable when I have wanted to deploy my applications.
"[11:38:24 AM] [Deployer:149140]The task cannot be processed further until the current edit session is activated. When this occurs, task processing will continue. The user can exit the deployer tool without affecting the task."
Furthermore, I run weblogic console and I see to appear the two buttons "Activate Changes & Undo All Changes" in spite of the weblogic is in development mode, yet the state of my application is "deploy initialize". I Click "Activate Changes" button but it's not happened.
Finally, for dealing with this problem, I have to shutdown & start up the weblogic .Next, I can deploy my application.
Best Regards,
Saeed.

Hi,
That message is not an error. It means that you need to connect to the WebLogic Server Console and activate the changes.
Solution
Access the WebLogic Server Console and click on Activate Changes.
Confirm if your application shows in the WebLogic Server Console under "Deployments".

Kal

Cannot export to movie without media encoder!

Past workflow has involved exporting an avi to a watch folder. With CS4 I cannot export an avi without using the media encoder. I see no problem with using the encoder to do the work, but there are instances when I would want to export "same as source."
Pre-rendered elements
Export edited segments to other edit suites
Utilize a second computer system to do the encoding
Use other encoding software
It is much slower to export an avi using the media encoder rather than the export > movie route of the previous cs versions. For example, I edited a 3 minute video on cs4 and it took 11 minutes to export as an avi. It actually took even longer (up to 20) to use encore's transcode settings to encode for dvd.
I ran a test on cs2 with a 30 second spot. It took about 15 seconds to export the avi and another 15 seconds to encode as mpeg2 using a 3rd party encoder.
I have a project coming up that has an extremely tight deadline. I will be editing hour long programs and exporting them for dvd. If I am to use cs4 I will have all kinds of time problems, not to mention I can't do this on multiple computers for processing (1 for editing, 1 for encoding, 1 for authoring). Just to estimate: In CS2 it will take 1 hour to export and encode the video, and up to 7 hours to encode if I were to use cs4.
Are there any solutions to the mandatory media encoder process of cs4?

Media encoder sucks! It's slow and buggy. And it crashes 5 times at 10. The performance of Premiere CS4 on a top notch workstation is 60% slower than working with Premiere Pro 2. Media's batch feature is a failure unlike Premiere 5.5 - 6.0 ver (i think)
my dear Adobe
Why not try listening to pro users suggesting handy features and instead of getting so anxious eliminating your competitors (FCP) and launching buggy and expensive software? This ain't gonna last for long, you know!
I think if I simulate OS X and run FCP, will work faster than CS4 (have to test it)

I've lost my password for my Airport, and cannot set up AppleTV without it. How can I either reset or recover the password?

I've lost my password for my Airport, and cannot set up AppleTV without it. How can I either reset or recover the password?

While you can reset your password, it might be wise to first check and see whether you can retrieve it, which will save you some time as far as setting up new connections on all of your devices with a new password.
On your iMac.....
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort router icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Base Station menu at the top of the screen....up where the other File, Edit, Window, and Help menus reside

Embed clipping path without embedding image

I embed Photoshop images all the time in order to get a vectorized version of the clipping path. Afterwards, I relink the image I just embedded and the new vector becomes the mask. It would be nice if I didn't have to embed the image itself in order to embed the clipping path. Even better, it would be nice to see which images had clipping paths right inside of Illustrator without having to embed them or open Photoshop. Maybe this could be part of the "Link Info"?

Could you just export the path for the clipping path from Photoshop to Illustrator?
You know export paths to Illustrator under the file menu in Photoshop? Or just drag the path from Photoshop to the Illustrator document?
Oh I see what you want you want to link the file with the option to have the clipping mask be a live editable clipping mask in AI and in the same relative position.
Interesting option, like a check box link file embed clipping mask.

Cross Dissolves dont work on Variable Speed clips?

Whenever I add a cross dissolve a the end of a clip with variable speed the dissolve doesn't work. Any reason?

A workaround:
1) Put your variable speed clip on V1
2) Overlap the incoming clip on V2 so there are the same number of frames of overlap as the desired length of the dissolve
3) Using the Pen Tool in the Timeline, add two Opacity keyframes to the clip on V2 and, placing the first KF on the first frame of the clip, ramp the Opacity up over the number of frames of the desired dissolve
4) If you need the clip that is on V2 to end up on V1 for further editing in the Timeline, create an Add Edit in the clip and Shift-drag the second portion of the clip down to V1 so it doesn't change its horizontal position in the Timeline

Rolling an edit point without removing dissolve?

Is there a way to roll or extend an edit point that you've placed a dissolve or other transition on,
without having to first remove the dissolve?

double click on transition in the timeline, your viewer & canvas screen will now show outgoing & incoming clips, click on left window to trim outgoing, centre bar to "roll" the edit or right for the incoming
