Change properties to multiple clips?

Hi, I was wondering if I could change the reel name of clips in an entire bin? I thought there was a shortcut?
thx! ea

You can select multiple clips and then Control-click (right-click) in the Reel column. That brings up a shortcut menu of all existing reel names from which you can select the right one, with that change cascading across all selected clips. You may (or may not) get a dialog warning you that you're changing the source file.
Of course, your Browser will need to be in List View to accomplish this. Also, if your reel name doesn't exist in your project already, you'll need to enter it manually - click into the Reel column - for a single clip, then try this whole process.

  • Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

    Here's my situation:
    I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
    I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
    I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
    This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
    TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

    Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
    I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

  • Changing volume in multiple clips at once?

    Im going crazy pulling the volume level up and down to the same level in multiple clips, are there any way to mark the clips and change the level in all of the at once?

    Several ways to do this.
    select clips
    CMD ] to raise 3dB, CMD [ to lower 3dB
    CMD - to lower 1 dB, CMD + to raise 1dB
    CMD OPT L to enter a numeric value either relative to the current level or absolute level

  • Joining/adjusting the properties of multiple clips

    In the timeline I have a short video clip I would like to play and then immediately after play it in reverse. I can copy and paste, then reverse the 2nd clip, but now I'd like to change the speed of both of those so that the first starts and the second ends at two audio markers.
    Firstly can I make them into one clip, so that I can change the properties?
    If not make them into one can I change the properties of both clips at the same time, ie changing the speed/duration?
    And then thirdly can I change the speed/duration of it/them to fit to the audio markers without having to mentally work out how many frames they need to last?
    Confusing? Hope you can help...

    Yes, if you are not concerned about maintaining a timecode link with the original files.
    Mark an in point at the start of the first clip and an outpoint at the end of the second (reversed) clip and export the two clips as a quicktime movie.
    Once the export completes, import that newly made movie into your project.
    Now both clips have been made into one clip.
    Edit that imported quicktime on to your timeline, replacing the original clips.
    Determine the duration between the two audio markers. Note that duration.
    Control-click on the clip you just edited onto the timeline and select Change speed . . .
    enter the duration you noted and now the speed will be adjusted to fill that duration.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to change effects on multiple clips

    Is there a way to change and/or adjust effects/filters on multiple clips at once?  I have added an effect on a scene and I want to adjust the overall level to all the clips, i.e. the amount of the effect applied.
    I highlighted all the clips and made the adjustment in the Inspector, but it only made the adjustment to one single clip even though I selected all.  I REALLY do not want to sit and adjust each one seperately.
    Anyone with an answer?  Thanks

    I am not adding an effect. I am adjusting ONE single effect within multiple clips that have multiple effects. if I just copy and paste it copies ALL the effects, which I do not want, because I have different effects for different clips. i.e. different color schemes etc.
    In otherw ords, I wnat to be able to EDIT effects in multiple clips. E.G, I have added color correction, "looks" filter, etc to multiple clips.  I just want to change ONE of those effects in multiple clips without disturbing the rest of the effects in those clips.

  • Changing properties of multiple resources in one transaction

    Hi,
    Does anyone have an idea how to change a property in multiple resources in one atomic transaction. 
    There are some interesting comments regarding the use of "mass calls" in various SAP documents but not really anything specific.
    The changing of one property in multiple resources is not the problem.  This is easy.  The challenge is the operation in one transaction.   There is a ITransactionManager in the KM Javadoc but this looks like more of an internal class.
    Thanks.

    Does this imply that the properties of these selectors can be modified simultaneously?
    Correct.

  • Pasting Speed Change attribute to multiple clips

    Since the FCP7 upgrade, I can no-longer paste speed changeattribute onto multiple-selected clips and have them ripple accordingly downthe timeline. I often have to match my video track time to the audio track timeand normally do the math to find what percentage the clips have to belengthened, change the speed on the opening clip, copy that clip, select theremaining clips, and paste the speed attribute to the selected clips. Before 7,they would change speed as well as length, now pasting the speed attribute onlychanges the speed and not the length of the selected clips, even when 'Ripple'is checked...
    it's a serious time killer to have to do them one at a time...
    This issues has been posted by atleast 2 other posters and hasnot received any replys.  Pleasehelp us.
    thanks

    Sorry KV, I don't think you can do that anymore. Most folks really didn't like the old speed handling functionality pre FCP 7 and were seriously pleased when it was reinvented ... unfortunately "you can't please all the people all the time". Why not just nest the video track and then apply a single speed change to the whole nest?

  • Change duration of multiple clips

    Is there a way to change the duration of multiple still photos at the same time (rather than doing it one-photo-at-a-time), without changing the zoom levels and Ken Burns effect that has been applied to some of the photos?

    O.k, I know what happened with my test project. My photos all had the same zoom setting. My Ken Burns photos all had the same zoom setting as well, a pan from left to right like train cars moving past, that I cribbed from another project to do the test. Since the zoom settings and KB effects were all the same to start with, I couln't tell that they all were being conformed to the settings of the first photo when I changed the duration. Sorry.
    Looks like you'll have to just brew a pot of coffee and start the tedious task. But there might be some groups of photos that have the same zoom levels, and you can use my suggested procedure to change the duration of those as a group.

  • Changing properties of multiple selectors?

    Hello everyone
    In the section titled Specify default font properties on this page, What is CSS? | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials,
    instructions read as follows:
         Click html, button, input, select, textarea in the Selectors list.
    Does this imply that the properties of these selectors can be modified simultaneously? The Properties Pane of CSS Designer shows no content once I select multiple selectors in the Selectors list.
    Also, the button, input and select selectors do not display in the Selectors list.

    Correct.

  • Change center of multiple clips in one operation

    Say I have 10 JPG files each as 10 second clips. I drag them to the timeline, I select all of them. I now want to move all of them into the top left quadrant of my canvas. I can't see how to do it given that motion seems to be set on a clip by clip basis. Is there some way of creating a filter that I can drag onto the selection to affect all clips? Again I can't seem to see one in the filters list. Is it a question of joining all of the clips into a single clip and thus applying a single motion in the viewer?

    Adjust one image the way you want it. Copy, select the images, and use the paste attributes function.

  • Changing Duration of multiple clips/stills simultaneously.

    I have a boatload of stills that are all at default duration (5:00). I want to change the duration for all of them simultaneously without having to key in each one individually.

    How did you do it I try and it always reverts to 9. somthing higher than the default Im ne to macs so any help yopu can give would be great

  • How to change Opacity Blending on multiple clips...??

    First the problem:
    Whenever I open a Premiere v6.5 project, CS4 does a "conversion."
    Maddeningly, during this process, it changes the Opacity\Blending Mode of every single clip in the project to "Color" instead of leaving it at "Normal."
    Since I am working with Stereo (3D) footage with a different camera on V2 & V1, I always have at least two, and often many more, video tracks (for titles, etc).
    This means I have to go through every single clip on every single video track and reset it to Normal before I can proceed with the project! This can be upwards of 500 clips.
    PITA!!
    1) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening & how to prevent it?
    or,
    2) Is there a way to change this setting in all the clips at the same time?
    Whenever I select multiple clips, no Effect Settings (or whatever Shift 5 is called) appear. Only there for single clips.
    TIA,:-)

    Do one clip, copy (rightclick) the clip, select all the others and paste attributes.

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,
    Cody

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • Changing multiple clips

    I have figured out that I can paste an effect across multiple clips... but I have not figured out how to change, for instance, a "Motion" attribute like "Opacity" across multiple clips at once... is there a trick I'm missing, or do I need to pick a similar "effect" and paste it across the clips?

    Once you've adjusted the opacity on one clip, copy it (Command c) then select (highlight) all other clips on the Timeline to which you want to apply the same opacity levels. Right-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes. When the Paste Attributes window opens, click on Opacity.
    If there are other attributes you want to paste to the other clips, click those as well.

  • Scale multiple clips without changing position?

    I'm attempting to scale multiple clips to the same size, however I don't want to change their position. Therefore copy/paste attributes won't do the trick without changing position, as you can only paste the entire "Basic Motion" attribute.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Lee

    Thanks for trying to help figure this out Kevan. I'm finding that there is nothing but workarounds to get only scaling to adjust without changing position.
    The source stills are all the same size. Basically I was given less than HD stills to begin with, and I'm now replacing those with HD sized stills of all the same size. There are a lot of match frame edits, so I would prefer not to have to reposition everything again.
    It doesn't seem unrealistic to think that one should be able to copy/paste only the "scale" value in the clip just as you are able to copy/paste opacity only. Maybe that's a feature for future versions of FCP.
    It works if I go through and manually change the scale of each clip to 50%. The positioning stays the same.
    And now it seems that I've found the answer to my own question:
    1. Reconnect media to the new, hi-rez stills
    2. Nest the sequence into a squence that's the same resolution as the new source stills
    3. Scale the nest down to fit the HD sequence settings
    Retains the original positioning.
    Thanks guys!
