Change Media Start Time

I've been working my way through an inability to archive a project in Media Manager. As it turns out...all the clips creating problems for MM to delete unused material were clips captured in FCP 2 & 3.
This seems to relate to Media Start times being 00:00:00;00 instead of the 01:00:00;00. The clips play and edit without any problems but MM cannot deal with them.
1) Does anyone know how to adjust the 'media start' value under properites.
2) If not, any recommendations on exporting - reimporting?

The problem was indeed related to the clips captured through older versions of FCP. Although the clips played and edited through a sequence without problems, Media Manager was unable to condense/compact (delete unused portions) them during archive.
I believe this was do to the lack of embedded values for source timecode...either starting value or time-code type, etc.
SOLUTION:
1) Select the clip
2) Under the MODIFY menu select TIMECODE
3) Clip "Source" box. You can leave the rest default
This will correct the strange MediaManager behavior. Couple of notes though regarding this...
I experiecned random crashes after clicking "OKAY" on MODIFY>TIMECODE. After you reopen, you can attempt this again and it will be fine. So save after each clip correction (if you have multiple clips needed the procedure).
Also, I did not experiment with clips that were made independant or have a missing master. If the clip has been made independant...then I assume fixing the master will not correct the issue for the independant.

Changing Media Start and End of Logged Clips

This should be really simple, and I'm sure I'm just overlooking something. I am trying to recapture some clips in Final Cut Pro and it was fine until I came to a clip that gave me the "timecode error - pre roll, post roll, etc" message. The Media Start on the problematic clip is at 00:00:01:04 - I want to manually change this time to allow pre-roll. The timecode in the "In" and "Out" sections isn't making a difference and seems unrelated - no matter what I put it to.
So I just want to edit the Media Start time as I'm sure this would remedy my timecode error when trying to capture... but I can't edit that field. What am I doing wrong? How do I change the Media Start time?
I could recapture the whole tape independently but I already have sequences edited based on my previously logged clip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are re-capturing then you must have used Capture Now to get the clip first time round or you would have run into the same trouble with pre-roll. You'll have to capture the clip again using the same method. Of course, the chances of getting the same start and end code using Capture Now are slim, but if you can get in earlier and out later then you should be able to manually re-connect the clip.

CO01 - system changes sch.start time given by the user (fwd sched., no cap. check, no shifts defined)

Dear Experts,
I am facing a very strange issue. Whenever I am trying to manually create and schedule a discrete production order in ECC 6.0, with 1-forward scheduling (in CO01 transaction), by giving scheduled start date and time and pressing the "Schedule" button; the system changes the start time given by me (the date remains) and executes the scheduling with that start time.
For example, when I want to produce 12072 PCs, and I give 08:00 as shceduled start time, the system changes it to 15:59, adds the operation times correctly and defines the 'correct' scheduled end date (again, with fwd scheduling type!).
There is some logic on how the system changes the scheduled start time given by me. Below a certain production quantity, the issue doesn't come up, lead time scheduling is carried out, as it is expected. So the problem only occurs, when the order qty exceeds a certain limitation. In that case the order cannot be scheduled to a certain time phrame (between 07:59 and 15:59), so the system changes the scheduled start time given by me (whenever the order falls into the mentioned period). Depending on the order qty the mentioned period (to which the order cannot be scheduled) is changing.
I made the following checks in the system:
production calendar is set correctly, it is not blocking the production
all the applied work centers are available from 00-24 hrs
no shifts has been defined on any of the WCs, production is enabled in 00-24 hrs
there is no other production scheduled on any of the work centers, capacity load is 0% on all of them, as it has been checked in CM03
order scheduling was performed with '1-forward' scheduling type
anyway, capacity check is switched off in the system
formulas on the work centers are all correct, the processing time calculated based on them is also correct (No queue, wait, setup, etc. times are set in the system, we are only using processing times.)
no error messages
As far as I know, in the above case lead time scheduling must be carried out, the system is simply 'not allowed' to change the start date given by me, just add operation times to the start and define the scheduled end date.
Thank you in advance,
T

Jiaul,
please find the screenshots.
1.Mark for Relevant finite scheduling in scheduling or capacity tab - yes
2.Can be used for multiple operation - yes
3.Capacity Planner Group set up - yes
Caetano,
in my case the order scheduled start date is exactly the same as the operation start date. The problem is that this date cannot be manually scheduled to a certain time interval, the system changes the scheduled start date specified by me. (Like there was a "blocked period".)
Thank you,
T

Change the start time of track 1

Hi, fairly new with waveburner but spent about 2 hours going through all the windows so i've got a good idea about the layout and where everything is.
Goal - to remove the 4 second silence at the beginning of the cd. There is a 2 second pause, and 2 seconds before the audio kicks in.
I recorded a dj mix and imported from logic into waveform. I made my track edits, titled all my tracks, added my efx and automation adjustments and just burned my master cd. After further review there is a 5 second delay before the first track.
I zoom into the timeline and it appears the audio sample is located and starts at 4 seconds. There is by default a 2 second pause for the first track. I have tried to change the start time on track 1, move the entire sample, and create a new track on the 5 second marker and delete the first track but i can't move get the first track to start at the 4 second point.
Here is a screenshot - http://kennygrant.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/kenny-screenshot.gif
totally frustrated as the file i bounced did not have a 4 seconds of silence, so i'm totally confused.

What I ended up doing John is just simply deleting the original events from iCal then I went in to Outlook and manually changed the start/stop times of each event then went into the IMAP Calendar folder, clicked on that event and added it to my iCal. Thats sort of the process I use for getting my events to from Exchange to iCal anyway (can't wait for Snow Leopard) but that did the trick for me for these few items that were off. Fortunately I don't expect any changes from the author.
Thanks for responding!

how can i do this and how i can assign these jobs to the user ?
Let me know.
Thanks,

Why does my LG Cosmos 2 calendar change the start time to the same as the end time?

This does not happen all the time but often enough to be a pain. When I enter a new appointment in the calendar sometimes the phone changes the start time to what I entered as the end time. I thought maybe it was me but it happened twice today and I watched carefully to make sure I was entering it correctly. I was and it is the phone making the change. How do I fix this?

Hi AyaniB
It's been doing it for some time. It seems to be random in occurrence. The day I made the post it happened three times. Since then I have been watching carefully and it does not seem to have happened again. Am I missing any phone updates or anything? How do I check that?
Thanks for your help.

Batch Capture Changes Media Start, End, and Duration

Hello all... For some reason, when I batch capture from an imported batch list in FCP 4.5, the program changes the media start, end, and duration just slightly once the capture has completed. Does anyone know why this might be occurring?

OK... I don't believe it has to do with drop frame or non-drop frame issues, and here's why... I ran a series of tests.
The footage was originally shot with two cameras, an A Cam and a B Cam, which were Jam Synced together. The original A Cam tapes were log and captured normally. But for the B Cam tapes, we exported a batch list to excel, performed a rename function where _B was added to all file names and reel names, and brought the data back into FCP by importing a Batch List at 29.97.
For the tests, I experimented with only one clip. First, I noted the timecode for the media start and media end when the file was uncaptured. Next, I placed the A Cam Tape in the deck and did a batch capture on the one clip. The program changed the media start and end times upon hitting ok. Here were the results of the first test:
LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
CAPTURED A CAM: MS (05:50:39:17) ME (05:51:41:07)
Then, I undid the capture so that the timecode would revert back to the precaptured state. I placed the B Cam tape in the deck and ran the capture again, on the same clip, in Batch Capture mode. The program changes the media start and end yet again, but this time, changed it in a different way:
LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
CAPTURED B CAM 1st Attempt: MS (05:50:39:16) ME (05:51:41:06)
So then I undid the capture again to revert back to the logged settings, and put the EXACT same tape in the deck, and ran the batch capture in exactly the same way. This time however, FCP didn't change anything. It logged the clip correctly. I tried it yet again, in the same way, and it did it perfectly again:
LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
CAPTURED B CAM 2nd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
CAPTURED B CAM 3rd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
So I ask again... what is up with FCP 4.5?

How do I change media start timecode?

I'm working on a project that was handed to me after a significant amount of capturing had already been done. Much of the footage (I'm praying that not all of it is like this) was captured using Capture Now, so there is no room left for pre-roll on any of the clips I am now trying to recapture (literally like 2 frames). I searched the forum and the web for a solution, but came up with some solutions that didn't work in my particular case. I have made the clips offline which for other users seems to have solved the problems of not being able to edit the Media Start/Media End timecode, but I still cannot get it to work.
Could it be that since I've used the clip in a sequence, it will not let me edit the timecode? Assuming there is some solution, and I am able to change the timecode, will any clips in sequences be trimmed to match the changes (for example, if I used the beginning of a clip in a sequence, and have now changed that clips beginning timecode, will it automatically trim the clip in the sequence or will it not reconnect at all?)
I'm working in FCP 4.5.
Thanks a bunch

Hey Jack
]Thanks for your continued posts Peter.
Always happy to help out, but thankyou for the acknowledgment! Often busy stressed people on this board forget that essential ingredient of good manners! So thank you!
]Does that really solve it? I'm not sure that it does
Absolutely! I had exactly your situation a couple of years ago, when I took over a job from someone who hadn't left any room on clips. I gave adding extended handles a shot, and it worked.
Once again I am just sorry I did not remember this workaround sooner.
As always, I would do a little test run first. I have mentioned this previously on the board, but I will again because I find it an invaluable tip:
]<small>A good little technique I have gotten into over the years is learning any new functionality in FCP with what I call my dummy project, dummy.fcp.
]This is just a normal FCP file with a couple of dozen clips, a few sequences and so on. Nothing too fancy, but designed to tap into most of the essential features, and broadly represent a typical type of job I do.
]Every time I want to try something new, and am worried I might damage existing work, I close the project I am working on, make a duplicate of dummy.fcp, and experiment on that. And I do it a couple of times, just to make sure for myself that the new functionality is well understood and predictable. I even try and do it wrong a couple of times, just to see what the results of mistakes would be like... Better learning through mistakes on your dummy ...
]If things go crazy, I have lost nothing, my current real-life project file is safe, and one of thee following is true:
] I am doing something wrong -- so I log on here
] I dont understand the functionality - so I log on here
] FCP might have a bug -- so I log on here
] All of the above -- so I log on here</small>
I recommend that you -- and everyone else! -- make one of these dummy projects for yourself, and try this solution out. And keep a copy for later, when you come across that next possible workflow enhancement / project destruction tool.

How do I automatically position my files based on the Media Start time?

In the project media window, it shows the Media Start, End, Duration of my MOV files based on the timestamp in the file.
I'm talking about the time at which the video was shot (according to the camera), not any marks I have added. Note the distinction: all searches for this treat "Media Start" as the mark-in, mark-out points and have nothing to do with what I'm asking.
There are gaps between the files so I don't want to add them contiguously. I will be lining this up with other sources, and using the absolute time is the easiest way to "just do it", within a fraction of a second.
(I have not used Premiere since version 1.5 Pro)

I'll try that Sync command on the next one; thanks.
At least I should be able to get this out faster than last year's New Year videos: the lighting was so bad that I had to learn color correction and the Resolve tool to accomplish it.
I've used (if memory serves)
Ulead Mediastudio Pro
Premere Pro 1.5 circa 2005
hiatus early 2008 (last use of DV camcorder) — Feb 2013 (dSLR video)
Avidemux (just trimming and concatenating)
Sony Movie Studio Platnum 12, 13 (when I needed real NLE again)
DaVinci Resolve (color correction, but hey includes basic NLE and free!)
Adobe CC 2014 includes Premiere, so jump to that!
I learned concepts like importing asset files to a media pool and then taking clips from that, multi-track timeline editing with razor, single and all-track ripple, rolling edit, crossfades, J and L cutting, and all that, from Ulead in 2002 and later Premere.
Other NLEs I've used since, sometimes one-off, I had no trouble doing basic things. It's like driving a car: basic essential functions are known but need to hunt around for the interval wipers.
This one, though, took much longer to get moving with. They purposefully changed some control concepts presumably for the better (where is the toggle to slide all clips beyond this one when I move it, and another toggle for keeping all tracks in sync or just editing one? I clicked somewhere to expand the track vertically but I can't quite figure out where to do it reliably.
But also made things unnecessarily difficult: it says drop stuff here to to start, but why not allow right-click to work and show useful things in this situation, or at least have a "new" button! There's no speed slider or reverse buttons in the player interfaces, and in general there are commands I can't find on any menu but apparently exist.
The scrollbar/zoom will take getting used to, but why can't the arrow buttons still be there too? Especially at high zoom the slider is much too touchy, and clicking to move a little bit would be helpful. Ctrl-Wheel doesn't work in the waveform source editor but does on the timeline.

Converting to ProRes changes Media Start and End

I have a series of clips that were incorrectly all captured Uncompressed.
Primarily to save on space, I need to convert them to ProRes.
Using Compressor, I drop the clips in and use one of the preset settings for High Quality Progressive ProRes and convert. The conversion works great.
However, after I replace the clips with the new slimmer versions, when I start FCP up and reconnect them, it tells me that the Media Start and End changed. Indeed, when I look at the Uncompressed and ProRes version in FCP, they do not have the same Media Start and End values.
Can anyone help me understand what is going on here? How is the conversion changing these values?
Or better yet, provide me with a better workflow for converting all these clips to ProRes so FCP does not have a fit?
Thanks,
Dean

To keep the same timecode, you have to use the Media Manager and RECOMPRESS.

How to retrieve media start time stamp on video clips

Premiere Pro CS4 loses the time stamps on all my video clips in the project. Is there a way to retrieve that data.
This usually happens after a crash or freeze up and one has to revert to an auto-saved ppj file.

Thanks for replying.
Timestamp only means time information for media start.
The time information was there for media start on all the clips as they
were captured but when I had to restart the project and the clips were
imported into a different project they disappeared.
What is Scenalyzer?
Thanks

Need a script to change the start time of meetings set by someone else...

Hello,
I have a series of events that someone else created and the start time is off by 1 hour in my timezone. Is there a script available to run and change these times or do I have to delete them and manually create them myself?

What I ended up doing John is just simply deleting the original events from iCal then I went in to Outlook and manually changed the start/stop times of each event then went into the IMAP Calendar folder, clicked on that event and added it to my iCal. Thats sort of the process I use for getting my events to from Exchange to iCal anyway (can't wait for Snow Leopard) but that did the trick for me for these few items that were off.

Can't change timecode start time

Hi,
I'm trying to change the timecode generator start time from 00:00:00:00 to 01:00:00:00. but the field can't be entered in the inspector.
Please help.

I also need to change the start timecode. (Compressor 3.0.2)
I assume you are talking about the actual timecode and not the timecode filter that burns it visibly into the video.
A similar function is available in DVDSP if you let it do the encoding for a DVD, but not Compressor.
For those who may ask why it is needed, my closed captioning starts at 00:00:00:00, but my video timecode is at 00:59:59:00 for some reason. The captioning needs the numbers to match. DVDSP will adjust starting timecode for you, so I can make them match up, but I'm trying to make a m4v for podcasting in Compressor. ITunes and Quicktime now support Closed Captioning, but it has to be encoded in Compressor.
If anyone finds a simple solution in Compressor, please post. I may have missed the setting somewhere.

Change Media End Time

Is there a way to change the media end time? I had edited a project about a year ago and I'm trying to recapture the footage to make some modifications. The original media end time, according to the project, is 01:05:15:15 but now when I try to capture it the the tape ends at 01:05:08:xx. I've tried changing the capture mode from Firewire NTSC to Firewire NTSC NDF but this doesn't solve the problem.
The ONLY thing I can think of is I may have originally captured the footage using my Canon XL1-s but am now trying to capture using my Sony DSR-11. Could this be the problem? If so, how can I fix this issue?

The problem is I have everything in a sequence cut exactly how I want it from a year ago so if I recapture the footage new I essentially will have to re-edited the sequence... something I'm not too keen on doing and will only do as a last resort. < </div>
Yes, umm, duh. That is a new issue. Your original post implies you have a single media file that is giving you trouble.
The original media end time, according to the project, is 01:05:15:15 but now when I try to capture it the the tape ends at 01:05:08:xx. < </div>
According to my unique teleportation and extra sensory skills which allow me to not only read your mind but see your work in progress, (I like the monitor mojo, BTW, cute.), this is a fundamental drop/non-drop issue for which you will find all the assistance you need within the manuals for FCP, your Canon and your DSR11. That's not to say it will be easy to find or interpret, but it's all there.
If you cannot convince your Sony to read Canon's timecode properly and are not able to acquire the original Canon deck, you face the interesting prospect of reassembling your project from scratch which we fully understand you are loathe to do. Looking at your timeline, I'd be irked about that alternative, too.
