Changing the Media Start point

So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
How do I change the Media Start Point???
Thanks

Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.

I can't not set Poject Start Point, as described on p 151 of manual. "You can move the project start point to an earlier position" . Can anyone do this?

I'm unable to change the Project Start Point. ( I can change the end point easily)
On page 151 of the manual it states:
"You can move the project start point to an earlier position..."
I can't find a way to do it. Are other able to change it. If so, please explain the procedure.

Mmmmm,…..I just noticed this as well…….
Anyway, try this:
For the sake of this demonstration start a new project.
Click the mouse pointer on the playhead in the ruler,
now the project start indicator should appear, hover the mouse pointer above it until this indicator appears,
when you see it left click, hold and scroll to the left.
Good luck!

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.

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

Help: Can't change the Media End Timecode

Hi,
We are trying to Recapture a Clip that was originally Captured using "Capture Now" and accidently someone let the Capture continue past the end of the tape.
This kind of issue doesn't cause a problem using the original clip, because all you end up with is some extra Black at the end of your Clip with no Timecode (you loose some drive space, but not much else).
But now that we are trying to Recapture this Clip using "Batch Capture", this extra Media with no Timecode will not allow the Clip to be Captured, because FCP doesn't know what to do when it reaches the End of the Tape, it just stops the Capture without saving the hour of media it already Captured.
I did a little poking around and the FCP Manual says that you can Edit the Clips "Media End" Timecode in the "Clip Properties" Window, but that doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone run into this? Am I missing something or can you Edit a Clips "Media End" Timecode in the Clip Properties Window like they say in the Manual?
Thanks for any input.
Kalagan

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the suggestion, but FCP will not allow me to Modify certain information in my Offline Clip, in the Browser or Properties Windows. I can Select and Modify the Duration, the In and Out Points, but FCP will not allow me to select or modify the Media Start or Media End points.
Should it be able to do this? It seems like FCP should be able to do this.
I think we just found a WORKAROUND for this, it is a little clunky, but seemed to work.
It is; we created a dummy sequence that started 10 seconds before the Media End point we wanted, dropped in 10 seconds of Bars and Tone into the dummy sequence, found that dummy sequence in the Browser, then "Option Clicked" on the dummy sequences "Media End" point, dragged the little box that pops up on top of the "Media End" point of our problematic Clip and let go.
This process replaced the Media End point of our problematic Clip with the Media End point of our Dummy Sequence. That seemed to work. We are currently Batch Capturing that clip again, we will see what happens.
But at least now our Clip has the proper Media End point.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks

How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

How can I change the media info from Concert Film to Music Video in ITunes 11.01.12

I purchased a concert film a while back from the ITunes store, and in previous versions of ITunes, I had been able to change the media info from concert film to music video so I could watch it in my library (and any devices) without losing any of my library when I synced my devices (could only have either music, movies or tv shows on device - stupid I know), now with the new version, that option is greyed out, so I can't change anything, is there any way around it?
Thanks so much!

When you say "remove his account", do you mean remove his Apple ID as well as all his stuff (music, movies, and whatever else is housed in iTunes)? If so, delete all his stuff (music, etc.), have him deauthorize the computer (Store > Deauthorize This Computer), and sign out of his account (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in to yours.
If all you want to do is remove his Apple ID and not fuss with his stuff, then things get more complicated, because you do not own his stuff.

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold! I can change the media kind to Audiobook! So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

How to change the Rule file Pointing Automatically?

Guys,
Is there any automated way to change the rule file pointing for any application \ DB.. If so, can anyone ellobrate it briefly.....
Regards
Srini

Do you mean you want to use a dimension/data rule that you created in one database and use it in another? Or do you mean you want to reassociate the rule with its new database?
The former is easy -- copy (or not, the rule can be local) the rule to the new location and use MaxL/Esscmd to load data/dimensions.
If you mean the latter, I don't know of a way to do that -- typically copying a rule file would only occur when the dimensionality is the same.
Or do you mean something completely different?

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

Changing the media type

whenever i go to make a new dvd, i have to go into "project", then "project info" and change the "media type" 8 GB double layer to 4 GB single layer. is there a way to keep it set it to 4 GB?
also, if i was to make a OneStep DVD, how do i know it will be set to 4 GB?
thanks,
David

The cause of this is that Podcasts are listed by "Programme Series Title", but the video shows up in Film by "Episode" title. When you change it to a Podcast, iTunes will sort it by Programme Series Title. However, if the video has no "programme title" information, iTunes will list it as a blank title.
You might see "blank title" Podcasts at the bottom of the Podcast list window.
And of course, when you click on the expand arrow to the left of a Podcast Programme Title, the list expands to show the Episode Titles.
