Clip info on time line

Is there a way to turn off or edit the clip info (clip name) in the timeline? Can't find it in the manual.

Is there a way to turn off or edit the clip info (clip name) in the timeline? Can't find it in the manual.
Indeed there is a way to toggle Video Clip names as well as Audio Clip names on the timeline.
At the bottom left corner, between the track height selector and the timeline zoom control, is a little button with a right-pointing triangle, click that and you'll see the following popup menu:

The 2 items you want to uncheck are "Show Video Clip Names" and "Show Audio Clip Names".
However, there is no way to edit clip information directly on the timeline.

Sliding video clips along the time line

Quite often as I edit, I like to place clips in the time line forward of my current edit point. For example I might find a shot that works well with a musical swell or beat 30 seconds down the track. With the magnetic time line, I can't slide that shot to the point on the time line without the shot wanting to ping back to the final edit in the time line, or you have to insert place holders or slug. Any ideas for a quick easy way to slid clips?

I had that problem. Solution for me is to take your cursor and not just drag the stuck clips laterally parallel but lift them up slighly in above the time line and move them in any direction. The connecting thin vertical blue line line will still be attached to the TL but some how lifting them up slghtly allows you to drag them anywhere into the TL.

Getting the audio back on a video clip in the time line

hi all,
and happy new year!
have deleted the audio from a video clip in the time line and now want it back, how would I get the audio back?
thanks for your time
jonyfoz

Put the playhead at the beginning of the clip and press the X key. It should mark in and out point for the clip. Press the F key to match frame back to the same clip. Make sure both video and audio target tracks are set correctly and press F0 to overwrite and edit the clip with audio back into the timeline.

Overlays on the clips in the time line

Hello
I am not sure if there is an answer to my questions but maybe there is a trick i have not discovered as yet. I am having some serious issues with the overlays on the clips in the time line. With the overlays I mean the name of the clip, especially on the audio clips. It is so hard to work good with the audio clip in the time line especially when I want to put in a fade in the beginning or need to move the audio level up or down every time the name of the clip is in the way and i can not see the the waveform. I know I just could put the clip in the viewer and do it from there but in my opinion the viewer is very cumbersome to work with as you do not see the whole clip especially if work zoomed in or have a segmented clip. I find it much easier in the timeline except for the overlays there.
I have written to apple but I guess they do not see a need it would be nice to have the ability to turn it off in preferences

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

In the case I've deleted a clip in the tim line it's also deleted in the clip window

I'm just starting with FCP and I've a problem concernig deleting a clip in the time-line. What is the correct way to delete it only in the time line?
Thx a lot for your help

You've opened the in the timeline, instead of in a Project, so when you delete it, it's lost from the browser.
You can delete clips from a project without deleting them from the Browser. To create a project, use the film canister icon at the bottom left of your screen.

In the time line, cutaways and titles are supposed to be linked on the top side of movie clips in the time line window. I don't know what I did, but now they are linked to the bottom side. How do I get them up to the top where they belong?

I'm working on a movie in FCP and using cutaways and titles in many places in the timeline. While working on a movie 2 days ago, and I don't know what I did, all the cutaways and titles are now linked to the movie clips from below rather than above. When I "grab" them and drag them up to the top-side, as soon as I "release", they go back down. Along the menu bar, I've check the "view", "modify", "clips", etc., looking for any thing that might refer to appearance of the time line. What must I do to get the cutaways and titles back on top where they belong? The audio clips remained properly-linked to the time line and play properly. The cutaways and titles can be seen but do not play.

The cutaways and titles should be linked above the timeline clips, not below

How to reclaim spare space back at the end of my clips on the time line

When I have edited stuff on the time line I find that through moving clips around that I have an empty space after my collection of clips that I have arranged. How do I reclaim that empty space back so that where my clips end so does the time line.
I have tried saving the project and reopening it but this does not seem to do anything as I still have the space left.
Any help would be gratefully received Thanx ahead of time.

Control click on the empty space and, on the drop down menu, click on Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then, delete the clip you just created.
If the empty space is at the end of your movie, you can do the same as above. But, if your playhead still continues moving past the end of the movie, then expand your time line as wide as possible and check down your time line for little bits of clips left over from editing, and delete those. Any audio that extends past your video clips at the end of the movie should be trimmed back as well, even if you have muted them.

Only able to laydown one clip from the time line

When try to do a assemble to tape using the edit to tape window, I drag the clips from the sequence in the time line and drop into the assemble edit box, but this only lays down the first clip. I am sure this is something stupid I am doing but I cannot see what.

dont drag the clips, but drag the sequence itself from the browser...

Moving clips to Secondary time line

I've created a compound clip When I open it up my primary video is on the secondary story line. Primary audio and a wide shot is on the primary story line.
What' the easiest way to lift the Wide Shot to cover primary video as a relief shot.No longer than 5 seconds.I've been using cut a paste but the clip always slides into the primary story line and I move it above the secondary time line.Is there a shortcut?

Do you mean Secondary Storyline, or Connected Ciips? The simple act of creating a Compuond Clip only creates a Primary Storyline with Connected Cliips, unless you started with a Secondary Storyline.
Highlight a clip, or multiple clips at once, right-click, "Lift From Primary Storyline". They will become Connected Cips, and replace in the Storyline with Gap Clips.

File error: The specified file i locked. when i am trying to render a clip on the time lin e

WHen i want to render a clip on the timeline it tells me this message"file error: The specified file i locked."drive and file and they are not locked.
What setting do i check for this
because up till now the program was rendering all clips on the time lne
I have checked the the drives and files and they are unlocked.
please advise
i have to render the clip from the timeline as n export then bring it back in
annoying !

Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

Info on time line but says offline

HHi had to reload windows edit still in tact on timeline but says off line how do I recover footage to time line

When you import media into Premiere Elements, what you get are copies of the originals. But those copies embedded in the project file need to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location of the originals when they were imported into the project. If you move, delete, or rename those originals after the project is saved/closed, then you are in for some nasty media reconnect issues.
Your first choice is to reconnect the sources with the "Where is the file....?" message "one by one", hoping that you might get lucky and get more reconnects beyond one at a time and one message at a time.
Do you have all of the originals that went into the project?
You could also look at the Replace Footage feature which will reconnect and maintain the edits previously applied in the project.

PP crashes immediately when trying to move a clip to the time line

I am a fairly new user, so this problem may be mine! I can import a clip to PP but the program crashes as soon as I try to move it to the timeline. This happens randomly. The movie I was working on and importing to last week is now causing crashes and is lost. Tidying up stray files has not helped.

I need to show how colour separations work by gradually combining four single-coloured clips in the time line?

Hi, I need to demonstrate how colour separations work in the printing process, by animating the additions of each single colour plate to the overall picture. I have four jpegs, one of each colour, plus black, and I want to animate each one on the timeline to simulate the addition of each colour to the printed page. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Phil

Video and print do not work in the same way. Video uses additive color, print uses a subtractive method.
You will have to fake it. Choosing a simple dissolve and combine method, you would also need the interim stages, say a Cyan + Yellow plate and a Cyan + Yellow + Magenta plate, eventually dissolving into the full color version.
Another way: Have each of the 4 plates appear one after the other on a quad split screen. Allowing time for an explanatory narrative, simultaneously have the 4 plates grow to full screen and move into position. At this point, you can quickly fade to a full color plate.

Problems with movie clips in time line-program keeps quiting

Not sure if I love this new iMovie version. I have imported many clips with my Sony Digital Hi 8. No problem with past versions. Everything went good until trying to put the clips into the time line. Everytime I try working with the time line and the imported movie clips the program quits...every time. Is this normal. Its getting pretty frusterating.
Thanks for any help.
Shane

I feel your pain in that the same things are happening to us. My wife is trying to edit many video clips imported from a Panasonic PV - GS39. iMovie crashes constantly when trying to work with this particular project. I have successfully edited a project that consisted of mainly still pics with only a few short video clips thrown in. I've tried many of the suggestions from this discussion group (QT plugs, trashing prefs, etc...) with no success. I'll keep trying for a solution though.

NO Option/Drag to make a copy of a clip in time line

Sorry for what may be a very basic question but in several other programs that I use, pressing Option while dragging a selection will make a copy of the selection and place it where the mouse is released. Does Premiere have something like this for dragging and copying a clip in the time line?
Cris is Bliss

Alas, Premiere has no such drag-'n'-copy option. The closest you can get is using Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy your clip instance in the timeline, and then positioning the CTI where you want the copy to appear and pressing Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste. Be sure your tracks are targeted properly before pasting.
I, for one, would like to see this option in CS5... do what the cool kids do and make a feature request
