Clip/effect question

i got imovie last week and i'm curious if it has this clip/effect.
Not as a unified "effect." Believe you could approximate the effect using separate "still frame sequences" for each change in vector motion (i.e., change in speed and/or direction). Basically it would be a process of butting together an number Ken Burns Effects. I would probably create the main "board" at maximum iMovie '08 storage resolution (depends on project aspect ratio) in an application like Photoshop, import it as a "still frame sequence," and create the first KBE in the iMovie project. Thereafter, copy-paste the previous sequence to the project, reverse start/end views so each clip will "merge" properly, build new display vector, adjust duration to speed up or slow down the vector, and repeat this editing procedure until you are finished.

  • Clip effects drag and drop?

    Hello folks. I'm evaluating a switch from Pro Tools to Audition on behalf of a production company. What I'm missing in Audition so far is the ability to quickly copy effetcs settings between clips/regions. For instance when a talking head reaperars now and then, I want to be able to use the same EQ setting that I made earlier. In Pro Tools you would typicly automate the EQ for each track and use the Write to all enabled parameters function, but in Audition clip effects seems to be the way to go. Other sound editors like Soundtrack and even video editors like FCP and Avid  let me drag the effect icon from one clip to another to apply the same effect whit the same  settings. And even save the settings by dragging the icon to a bin. I haven't found out how to do this in Audition, part from saving presets and loading them after having chosen the same effect onto the new clip, which if course is way to dodgy.
    Any quick reply would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    No it's not. Normally if you want to apply the same effect to a load of separate clips, you'd put them all on one track and apply the effects to that; it's a lot less processor-hungry doing it this way, as you only have to run one instance of the effect. Dragging the clips accurately is easy, and doing it like this means that you can see what's happening much more easily than if you have the clips all over the place (although it's a PITA not having grouping, admittedly). It all works fine when you're used to it - but it doesn't work the same way as PT does; if your production company wants to change, then they'll have to get used to a new way of working, I'm afraid.
    And I can't honestly say that Audition is ideal for doing this sort of stuff in its present release. Indeed, it may take a couple more versions before it gets to the sort of level that many people think it should be at. But I'm reasonably confident that it will. So my take on this at present is that it's fine to evaluate the present release - but only really in terms of its overall usability and way of doing things. It's not really fair to evaluate it in terms of overall features, because they're not all there yet.
    Oh, and there isn't anything dodgy about saving effects presets and reusing them - that's what the facility is there for, and it works fine. The nice thing about it is that you can apply several effects to a clip, and save the whole lot as one preset - rather better than having to save each preset's settings individually.

  • Optimising render time: Which timeline elements/clip effects increase render time?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anybody had further information about Premiere's output render process, specifically the effect clip effects, tracks/layer and clip formats have on render time.
    The reason I ask is I seem to be getting inconsistent file export/render times, some projects of similar length and on the same hardware seem to take significantly longer than others.
    Essentially I am looking for timeline connfigurations/properties which adversely effect the final output render time. Any further information/documentation regarding this would be gratefully recieved.
    Regards,

    I am essentially just trying to optimize workflow, as we are having quite high project throughput. So yes I would not use an effect, or think of a more efficient method to achieve said effect, if it was going to significantly bottleneck the workflow by several orders of magnitude, and yet only added negligible subjective aesthetic improvement.
    It comes down to classic "Cost Benefit Analysis", thats why I was asking for technical documentation, to see if there is anything we are doing which is having a big hit on performance, which may have a more efficient alternative or may not improve the quality to a level which warrants to slowdown.

  • Is it possible to add Master Clip Effect to Merged Clips?

    I am currently unable to add a master clip effect to a merged clip in Premiere or Speedgrade.  At this point I realize I should have tested this, but it seemed to me that those syncing audio to video might also want to color correct the clips too.
    Is there a way to get back to the master video clip for using the MCE?  Otherwise I'm back to the clip-by-clip color adjustment (and copy from pervious).  Am I wrong in assuming merging clips is more trouble than it's worth?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    At this point of time, MCE will not have effect on merged clips coming from Premiere. It's a known Mac issue we are working on.
    Thanks,

  • Accessing master clip effects

    Hi all.  The new CC master clip effects feature is a pretty slick and has lots of possibilities.   However, I can't seem to figure out how to access the effect once its been applied.  I've seen several tutorials where the editor simply clicks on the source clip in the source monitor to open up the effect controls for the applied applied clip.  This doesn't seem to work for me at all.  Can I maybe access the effects controls for the master clip effect from the project panel?  Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Richard Angle

    The Effect Controls Panel is now focus sensitive in a way that it wasn't before the master clip effects feature was added.
    When the Source Monitor has focus with a master clip loaded, the ECP loads that master clip. To load a master clip in the Source Monitor, you can either double-click it in the Project panel or use Match Frame from the Timeline.
    When the Timeline has focus and a single track item is selected there, the ECP loads that track item. With a track item loaded, the ECP always shows the "intrinsic" effects: for Video, Motion, Opacity, and Time Remapping; for Audio, Volume, Channel Volume, and Panner.
    Setting focus on panels other than a Timeline or the Source Monitor has no effect on what's loaded in the ECP.

  • Master clip effects applied when replacing clip into after effects?

    Hi Guys,
    Love the new Master Clip effects in Premiere 2014 but im wondering what happens to the effects if I replace the clip in my timeline into an After Effects clip? Will the effects applied to the master clip be disabled for that new AE clip ?
    Best,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    Which effect are you trying to apply?
    Are you making subclips before applying the effect on the Master clip?
    You can apply the effect on the Master clip and then make subclips from it. It will work for you.
    Please refer the link below for more info:-

  • Browser and transition/effects questions

    Sorry Guys n Gals, me again!
    Simple q's for you all...
    Firstly, when I view browser by "large icons" is there anyway I can arrange the clips by order they were captured? I can do this as a list but for some reason cant do it in "large icon" view!
    Secondly, when I apply a transition or effect can I preview it (like in i-movie) before rendering it?
    Thanks
    Alps

    Ta Gary.
    Bit of a bu**er that Apple didn't allow us to have order of capture easier on icon view!! I really dont think I have the patience to re-label all my captured clips after I've captured em!!
    Oh, and after I typed the [stupid] question of "how to preview effects/transitions" I realised how stupid a question it was. I think I've figured it out now!
    Now just wait for my next silly question/s............

  • N-Sqaure effect Question

    Is there a way to apply different/multiple clips using the N-Square effect, as opposed to just multiplying the same footage? If not, is there an iMovie effect that is similar to N-Square that will allow multiple clips to be used in each square?

  • If you need help quickly... Guideline for posting an effective question.

    Whenever you have a question that you would like answered, do pose that question effectively.
    First, do not assume that because you have tried many, many times that your question is understood by someone else. What is obvious to you may not be for another. So please state in a very detailed and structured way what steps you have taken to cause your problem, how you can replicate this problem, under what circumstances on what hardware/software.
    The fact that you have nearly given up because of your problem does not mean that someone else can readily understand this problem. When you go to your doctor and say: "I have a pain in my stomach" he will ask you a lot of questions. Same applies here. Your doctor may need to know about any medication you have taken, your blood pressure, history, etc. If you want help, be as PRECISE and ACCURATE as possible.
    Second, this is a USER TO USER forum. So ranting will not help. What may help is a STRUCTURED approach to describing the problem you have.
    Third, do a thorough search of posts here, on other fora and with Google before repeating what has been asked a thousand times and has worn out the patience of regulars here, who have answered your question a dozen times already. Use the FAQ and the Wiki to find answers to questions that have been posed and answered repeatedly. Do not assume you are unique with your problem. Well, you are unique, the problem you have most likely is not.
    Fourth, realize that even though it may be highly frustrating to you to not be able to solve YOUR problem, by posting your question here, you are dependent on fellow editors to help you on their free time without compensation, so bear with them to help identify what EXACTLY is your problem. If you lack that decency, you may forfeit their help, so why did you come here?
    Fifth, consider your work flow in light of the purpose of Premiere, an editing package. If you have problems with rotoscoping, programming with APL, spreadsheets in general, word processing on a mobile phone, importing Panda bears into a local zoo, feeding nearly distinct whales in the Alps, or anything far removed from the purpose of PP, you may be better off in posting your question elsewhere.
    Last:
    Everybody has to learn, has the right to ask questions and be helped.
    If everybody has the decency to pose their urgent, life threatening or other questions in a detailed, structured and comprehensible way, it will vastly improve the chances of speedy and helpful replies, without the need for sarcasm, bundles of to-and-fro posts without meaningful help, just wasting bandwidth.
    I know I have been rightly accused of such behavior, which was the result of sheer frustration with absolutely meaningless and often pointless questions without details, structure and the like. Maybe this can be a general guideline for posters on how to ask questions, in addition to Eddie's links and How to ask questions the smart way
    The most frustrating issues one can encounter are hangs, BSOD's (blue screens of death), system errors and other cases of seemingly random erros that require rebooting, restarting or similar actions, only to be confronted with the next hang, BSOD or system crash.
    These errors are often difficult to locate, due to the large variety of systems, components and driver or software versions in use. This is often further aggravated by sheer lack of expertise, understanding of what needs to be communicated in order for others to help solve the issue at hand. And that list is very long.
    So, in order to make it a bit simpler for the average user who encounters these problems, follow the following steps when posting a problem:
    1. Clearly describe the main problem in the topic, but be brief. Not so brief as to only say: "Help!" or "URGENT" or another meaningless statement but get to the point, like: "PP crashes on opening, requiring a reboot" or "Using DL the system hangs upon return to PP". You get the point.
    2. Briefly describe your hardware, software, OS and versions in use, including disk setup, video card and driver versions, etc.
    3. Describe source material, including codec (not AVI, which is not a codec), project settings and other relevant info.
    4. Describe as accurately as possible what you did, what steps you took, what happened at what moment and what you did to try to resolve it.
    5. Go to Start/Run, type in DXDIAG, enter and save all information to a TXT file. Include a link to that file in your post.
    6. Go to Start/Run, type in MSINFO32 (or similar for 64 bit OS), enter and save the results as a .NFO file. Include a link to that file in your post.
    7. Download Process Explorer , and either post a screen shot or a link to the results.
    8. Make a screen shot of the results of SpeedFan or HW Monitor and include that in your post.
    When you perform these basic steps, you avoid endless questions about your system and people may be able to help you faster.
    If you feel up to it, take a look at The Case of the Unexplained to start your own troubleshooting.
    Hope this helps to post more meaningful questions and get an answer much quicker.

  • Phantom Frame Appears Between Two Clips Updated Question

    I can't edit my other question anymore, so here's a follow-up. When I move from edit point to edit point, there does appear to be one between the two clips. I hit Select using the dropdown menu, but the options to cut or delete are grayed out afterwards, so it doesn't seem like anything is getting selected. Does anyone know how to select a clip too small to see? Thank you.
    Final Update: I got it selected and deleted! I just moved the cursor along the bottom of the timeline instead of moving it in the middle of the timeline, which was just giving me the double-arrow handle thing, or whatever it is.
    Thanks for looking!

    In my continued conversation with myself, I'm replying so I can figure out how to mark question answered.

  • Transition Effect Question

    Can anyone tell me what Joe is using below to get that transition in the beginning of the following clip below:
    (Its @ 7 seconds)
    http://www.joe-shaw.co.uk/
    it looks like light rays but each ray looks more thick in his video

    A matte is similar to an Alpha channel. Using a keyer, you might pick out a particular color or brightness in an image and use it to cut a "hole" into which another image element could be placed discreetly or restrict an effect to a particular area.
    Usually, everything that is black in the matte will determine where the solid background shows through. White will show the superimposed, solid foreground or the effect. Areas of gray are more or less transparent. The matte can be "flipped" to work in the opposite way too.
    In many editing and compositing packages mattes can be keyframed, so that different shades or brightness values are affected over time. The poster in the linked video starts with the brightest areas and then picks up some darker values. The rays shine through the different parts of the matte as the values change.

  • Channel Changing effect question.

    Question for the professionals:  How can I create a “channel change” with distortion, etc. effect on Final Cut Pro?  I need it for a sketch so with each segue, or scene, it looks like the “viewer” changed the channel.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Clipping mask question 2.

    Hello, so about a week ago I was having some trouble with my clipping mask I had posted a question Here about it. Over the week I believe i see what the problem maybe but i do not  know how to fix it (once again) This is what I mean:
    As you can see in the image above, there are little pixels around the image after i finished coloring and erasing my mess. (i used a wacom tablet to do this by the way.)
    In this image I created a clipping mask over the image above and i began "shading." But the color went over once again. I Believe it has something to do with those little pixels.
    May someone please help me by telling me why those little pixels are There and how i can get rid of them. Also If you have an idea at why the mask is not working also let me know as well

    I suspect you are flat out going about things in the wrong way.  I can't see reason you'd need or want to clip layers to achieve what you are doing.  The spill is probably anti-aliasing from the brush or erasor.  Niether tend to achieve 100% coverage with one pass. 
    Rather an use the erasor,  much better to make a selection and add a layer mask.  This will produce a hard edged editable layer. 
    Try drawing your lines on a roughing out layer, and then colouring on an underlying layer using different layers for each colour.  When done, Ctrl (Cmd) click the colour fill layer which will load its outline as a selection.  You can then go Edit > Stroke with black on a new layer higher up the stack.

  • Moving clips, simple question

    a novice question,
    I've got over two hours of clips, transitions, etc., as my film, and I want to go through and edit a few more times...
    is it possible to delete a clip and move everthing to the right of that clip over with one move? I know highlighting/shift will move chunks, but that might be a pain at some point.
    Thanks.

    Haven't read that manual yet, have you?
    Make a copy of your sequence. mark in and out points on something you want to remove. hit the little delete key under the f13 key. What does that do? It's called a ripple delete.

  • Spry Effects questions

    I have two (2) questions about using the Spry Effects script in a horizontal slide configuration.
    Question 1:
    In DW CS4 if I add the command <duration: 500,> the numerals turn red.  I also get an error in line ???? from DW which is the line the variable is on.  If I go ahead and accept the change I see the desired quicker slide in Firefox and Safari.  The default is 1,000 milliseconds so I am cutting it in half.  But!  In Internet Explorer 7 the script locks the browser window up.  Even if I revert to the saved HTML and JS files the problem still persists.  This problem also occurs if I set the duration higher than 1,000 milliseconds.
    This also happens if I upload the files to the Internet.  I was forced to redo the line in question and copy my saved SpryEffects.js over to my working directory.  This unlocked the file in Internet Explorer 7.  Any suggestions on how to get the quicker response time in Internet Explorer 7?
    Question 2:
    In Firefox I get a border around the button that enacts the Spry Effect.  I set the text decoration to "none" for both of the IDs for the images.  This thin line does not appear in Internet Explorer 7 or Safari 4.0.3.  My version of Firefox is version 3.5.3.
    The file can be viewed here.
    Thank you in advance.

    I have also found that the Spry works better in FireFox than
    IE7, when it comes to video
    http://www.catholicmemphis.com/catholicmensconference.html
    Check out this page and you will see that the Spry tabbed
    menu stops the video in FireFox but not in Explorer. I have seen
    this type of problem in a few forums, but know one gives an answer
    to those looking for solutions....
