Change default import clip length

Is there a way to change the default import clip lengths? It seems the default import length is 5 sec (00:05:00). So all photos import at 5 seconds. I would like to import all my photos to come in at 1 frame (00:00:01).

When you select a photo in the Photos Media pane, does not a "Photo Settings" window appear? You can drag the slider all the way out to 60 seconds if you like.

  • Imported clip length

    I am using iMovie HD 6.03 to import Video 8 via a Canopus ADVC-55.
    There seems to be a default imported clip length of just under 20 minutes.
    I cannot find a way to adjust this, or a relative article in the iMovie help.
    Can anybody advise?

    that indicates, you're trying to import to an ext. harddrive, which has the wrong 'format' (fat32=Windows...)
    before using an ext. HDD for video processing, you have to use the DiskUtility and 'erase' (format) the mepty drive to hfs/Mac...

  • Change Default Import Settings

    This has bugged me for a while now. I have created an Import Preset to import my photos to my "F" drive. Works perfectly but sometimes...the import Preset reverts to the original Lightroom Import setting which imports to my "C".drive. If I right click on my Import Preset, my Import to "F" is checked.
    How can I prevent LR4 from reverting to the default import settings and is there anyway to either remove the old default altogether or make my Import to "F", my default?

    I found a previous post that appears to work.  Since the netbook doesn't show an OK in the preference window, I just had to hit enter to accept and change the setting. 
    Thanks to all.

  • Lightroom keeps changing default import location; how to set it once and for all?

    Hi all,
    I'm on a mac, and coming from iPhoto. After migrating to Lightroom, I made is so my photos imports from my camera into "/Pictures/LightroomMasters/year/month/day".Now, suddenly, I noticed that they end up in "/Pictures/year/month/day".
    I really want Lightroom to keep importing everything inside the "Lightroom Masters"-folder, without me clicking to that location everytime I attach my camera. But going through the Preferences, and Catalouge-settings, I can not find the equivalent of "Default import location". Is there such a setting? Or is Lightroom meant to remember where is imported to last, and keep on using that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andreas

    It seems to remember the folder structure on my system. But I'm running Windows 7. I just tested it by inserting a memory card and importing the images on it, I don't connect cameras to my computer, to my E drive and to a folder named Pictures 2015. I had LR place these images in a sub-folder of that Picture 2015 with the date in the format of 20150201 and which these picture were taken on the 30th of January so the folder was 20150130. I then closed LR and reopened it and took some more shots around the house and then imported those. LR import dialog went right back to that E drive \Pictures 2015 folder and placed those newer images in a folder named 20150201.
    So it remembered which drive and which top level folder it was supposed to. Not sure it it would work with a secondary sub-folder under the Pictures 2015 folder.
    To be honest I rarely use the import from memory card feature of LR. I don't care for the naming conventions it offers. I do use the Adobe Photo Downloader applet that comes with PS Bridge as the naming convention in that creates sub-folders with just the month and day in this format 0201. I don't need the year tacked on to the front of that sub-folder name, although it can do that, as I store all my images by years to begin with. Then I import to LR from those folders the APD app creates.
    If you are using more than one camera it might remember for each camera so from now on it will go back to the right folder.

  • Default Still Clip Length

    I know how to change the duration of a still clip, but is there a way to change to default from 5 seconds to something else?

    Hello Rvenne,
    yes there is:
    in the photo pane simply drag the duration slider under the preview window to the desired duration. This works for both, pics dragged from the photo pane and pics imported from a folder.
    hope this helps

  • 16:9 ratio and imported clips from iMovie 4

    I have imported clips in iMovie 4 from a miniDV with 16:9 format. iMovie 4 compressed the ratio of the images but I have been able to export back to 16:9 format with Quicktime.
    I now have stepped up to iMovie HD (5) so I can work in the 16:9 format but my previously imported clips still display in iMovie in the 4:3 format.
    How can I change the imported clips to 16:9 ratio to edit and create my movie. Is it possible?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Christo

    I've worked it out, here it is if anyone wants to know:
    Open a new project in iMovie 5, source the media files from the previos project and drag them into the clips pane of iMovie. The clips import in the 16:9 ratio. Sweet.
    All the clips are duplicated, so I import the clips a few at a time and delete the clips from the original media to manage disk space.

  • Length of imported clips?

    I have just begun to import movies from my camcorder and they all are defaulted at 9:28. Is there some reason for that, and is there any way to change the length of imported clips? That is such a basic question that I am surprised it is not prominently addressed.

    Actually this WAS prominently discussed in these groups a LOT way back when. However you are talking about a version of iMovie that is now three versions back and that limitation was taken out with iMovie version 5 (only exists in iM4 and earlier). So no one talks about it anymore because most people are aware of it, except for the rare person who is actually NEW to iMovie4.

  • Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • Premiere Elements 4.0 - How do I change all the clips from 5 seconds to 2 seconds in length?

    Premiere Elements 4.0 - How do I change all the clips from 5 seconds to 2 seconds in length?

    Christine,
    The Duration of Stills is set with Edit>Preferences to the number of Frames required, where ~ 30 Frames = 01 sec. of Duration.
    Unfortunately, the Duration cannot be reset (Edit>Preferences) for material that has already been Imported. The procedure is to Delete those Imported Stills, and make the change, then re-Import them, and you will get the Duration that you have reset.
    The only other option at this point is to manually Click-drag on the Head, or Tail of each Still in the Timeline, to adjust the Duration. I do this with the Info Panel open and visible to make it easier. Personally, unless I am well into the editing process, the Delete, change and re-Import option is my choice.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - the ability to alter the Duration en masse for Imported Stills in the Project Panel has just been added in PrPro CS5. I do not know if it has been added in PrE 9 though.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • Compressor quality changes with clip length

    Hello,
    Im on a max OSX 10.6.5, compressor 3.5.3, FCP 7.0.3.
    I am taking footage off the SONY XDCAM, running it through the XDCAM Transfer software and having it wrapped in quicktime so i can edit in FCP. The project was filmed in HD 1280x720, XDCAM HD422, 720p60(50 mb/s).
    The destination is SD DVD.
    Problem- Since going from HD to SD can be a bit tricky, I made a half dozen sample compression clips. I found that the compressor DVD 90min Best quality preset with a slight bitrate change to look the best. When I compress the 3 minute clip, it looks really great. But when I compress the entire sequence (only 83 minutes.. well within the 90 minute preset) it looks like garbage. The difference is night and day. What is the issue? suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Sorry for the slow reply, I hit the road for a while shortly after posting...but I'm back.
    Also, I'm embarrassed to say that the problem turned out to be the nut holding the tool (in other words, user error). It doesn't matter how carefully one changes the clip length if you somehow forget that clicking on the clip then selecting "pasteover at playhead" does not paste the selected clip but pastes whatever is in memory. As I'm sure you can guess, the clip copied earlier was 3:12 in length.
    Sheesh.
    Sorry for the false alarm, and thanks to both of you for the help.

  • Transitions w/o clip length change?

    I think I recall seeing in a post on this forum instruction on how to add transitions, or at least some transitions without changing the affected clip duration.
    But, of course, I've forgotton.
    Comments and suggestions appreciated.

    When you add a transition it does not alter the length of the clip (or the length of the video) but some of the clip may be partially obscured by the transition.

  • How can I permanently change my default import location in LR 3.5

    I am trying to change my default import location on my MAC Pro Tower, to one of the internal HD's.  I have named the HD Photo Location, and have created a folder in it called it "My Lightroom Photos".  I have been able to create this, but cannot seem to ber able to make it my default when I open LR 3.5.  I have to manually go in and change it.  Is there a way that this can be changed to make it my default?
    Thank you.

    Up to now we were talking about the Destination Folder which can be saved as part of an Import Preset.
    You are talking about the Source Folder.
    I tried what you did with the "Add" function. The source folder that I had selected previously when I saved the preset was not highlighed when I selected the preset.
    It seems that the Source Folder is not part of the saved preset. When I select a different source folder (still in the "Add" function) , the name of my preset remains unchanged.
    When I select a preset in the "Move" function and change the destination folder, the name of my preset changes to "something, something (edit)".
    This behaviour would support my idea that a source folder cannot be saved as part of a preset.
    So in the end, if you do not want to import into LR by copying or moving the images from the memory card you'll have to live with having to select your source folder on each import.
    When you select Copy or Move the memory card will be detected by LR automatically and will be highlighted. And in >Preferences >General Tab you can also get LR to show the Import Dialog when a memory card is detected.

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help
