Clip is flipped after pasting "scale"

After choosing "Paste Attributes...", my clip is flipped (mirrored horizontally). Here's what I do:
Clip A is scaled down smaller than full-screen, and positioned off-center (to the right).
I want clip B to be identical in size and position.
Select clip A
Choose Copy
Select clip B
Choose "Paste Attributes..."
Results:
If I check the Transform box, clip B is sized and positioned identical to clip A, but it displays flipped, or mirrored horizontally. For example, the person in the clilp had walked from right to left. After pasting attributes, they now walk from left to right.
If I only check only the Position box, clip B does align correctly with clip A (off to the right) - and it is NOT flipped (mirrored).
If I only check the Scale box, clip B scales to the size of clip A, remains centered, but it is flipped.
If I flip clip B before pasting attributes, it remains flipped afterwards.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't want to flip clip B after pasting attributes, unless someone can tell me how to make it snap to the exact width of clip A.
Thank you,
Bart

Under "Scale" in the inspector, after opening the small triangle to view X and Y values, I did find X to be negative. Changing it to positive restored clip B to its un-flipped state. Thank you, Russ. I appreciate such quick replies from both you and Luis.

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word

Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
The cross references are a little buggy:
EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

Pages crashed after pasting text from email - no longer able to access that document

I was working on a Pages document on my iPad, and after pasting text from an email, Pages closed. As of then, I was no longer able to open or email the document, whether on Pages itself, on iCloud or on iTunes. I worked two hours on this important document and am not sure whether this can be recovered. Any support would be most appreciated.

This is why I asked Apple to edit the entries as I showed above.
Of course, it would be useful to edit also the entry available in the iOS area.
Replace iWork for iOS by iWork (Keynote, Numbers, Pages) for iOS
or better add three entries :
Keynote for iOS
Numbers for iOS
Pages for iOS
Having four entries pointing to the same forum would not be perfect but at least it would be clear and would be a viable scheme during the time required by engineers to find a way to split the existing iWork for iOS forum in three ones.

Does firefox has the clip feature that internet explorer has for clipping a article and pasting it to a document.

internet explorer (my os is win 8) has a feature that allows the user to clip and article and paste it to a document, does mozilla has the add on comparable to this, if so where is it and how do I acquire it.

Could you describe where you find this in the menu in IE and what it's called?
Traditionally, to copy and paste the contents of a web page, you first select the portion of the page you want, then copy using Ctrl+c (or right-click > Copy), then switch over to the receiving application and paste using Ctrl+v (or right-click > Paste).
However, there might be an add-on that gives you a better result depending on what you're looking for.

Changing transition changes time of clip before and after???

When I add or change the transition time, after it renders, the time of the clip before and after the transition automatically changes. I've done it several times and it shortens the time of the clips before and after the transition. Why does it do tht? Its driving me nuts. I keep changing back the time on the clip but when it re-renders it goes back to the time after I changed the time on the transition. Help please thanks lots

Hi Iluvvartan - that is normal. Transitions use portions of the clips adjacent to them. Cross dissolves for example take a portion from each, and the total length of the project is reduced. The Overlap transition only affects the length of one of the adjacent clips, and the total length of the project remains unchanged.

when I launch Photoshop CC, I get an error message
and what exactly is the text of that error message?

Why do some of my clips turn black after they are transcoded?

I've been using the same camera (Canon T4i) with the same computer (Macbook Pro) for over the last two years. I've never had this issue. Tonight, almost all of my files imported without any issues. I chose to "optimize" the clips and kept them in their original location They all showed up in my clip bin, but after transcoding, about 5 of the 36 files/clips I imported turned black with no audio or video. I can look in the transcoded folder and see that they're there, but they do not have a thumbnail and will not play in preview. I tried to duplicate one of the original files with a different name and it still has the problem after transcoding. All of my original files play fine. They don't seem corrupted. Anyone run into this issue?

I have the t4i and a 2013 iMac and developed similar problems when I added an SSD in a OWC enclosure via USB3. I was getting over 300 MB/s transfer rates and thought that this was going to be a great help until I experienced all the drop outs in the video I was importing. I found out that USB 3 has a "burst mode" and I think that was the culprit when writing the video. For complete disclosure, I was using a USB3 Hub to connect the drive to the system (not directly connected.) Since I save my video files onto a separate (firewire 800) drive when I copy them from the camera, I don't know if this is a system wide problem, or just with FCPX. My problem seems to gone away when I connected the USB 3 SSD device to an Akitio Thunderbolt "Dock" which I think throttles the USB3 stream somewhat (not a lot, but SpeedDisk showed slightly slower speeds afterwards) or at least communicates better with FCPX.
Anyway, you didn't state what your media pathway was, and I'm just basically asking: is a USB3 drive involved?

Only half of the video clips have sound after import to Premiere Pro

Hi!
When I import my .MTS fukes into Premiere Pro 2014 longer clips loose sound after half the clip. The clips themselves have sound because they are with sound when I watch them using VLC.
How can this sound issue be solved?

Thanks for the screenshot.
Hmm. I don't recall any other reports of a problem like this with MTS files. [Just today I was working on a similar issue with P2 content, but it was limited to spanned clips. Hence that question...]
First thing I'd try is to clear the media cache files, at least for the affected clips. You should find those files here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\. If not there, then check Preferences>Media.

Cursor movement slow after pasting.

After right clicking COPY, moving the cursor and right clicking PASTE, -immediately- after pasting, for maybe 1/2 a second or so, the cursor is frozen and/or moves REALLY SLOW..... slow enough that if I forget and try to move across the screen, I have to do it a second time to have the cursor actually move.
Is there a fix or an adjustment for this?

It is possible it may have to do with some program or an add-on that you have installed. Are you using any clipboard management add-on or program on your computer.
I would say first try to start FireFox in safe mode as described here: [[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode]]
If things work fine with no add-ons then just enable them one at a time to figure out which one is causing the problem.
It may also be worthwhile to uninstall FireFox (while leaving personal settings intact) and then re-installing it and perhaps trying to reset it as described in the previous link.
Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck

Red box after pasting a link

Seems like when I paste certain links into this forum, I get a silly red box with some type of error.
I further realize this is the success path at least for me.
When you paste a link into the forum, the forum runs to the web page and attempts to find the title to the page and insert the title instead of copying the link as is. Of course, I want to copy the link as is. If I wanted a link, I'd have clicked on a link icon.
Link works as expected:

Losing clip preview in Viewer after paste

Running FCPX 10.1.1. I think this started to happen after the 10.1 upgrade.
In the Timeline, I scrub to a clip, and what's under the playhead displays in the Viewer. So far so good. Now, I select and copy a clip in the Timeline, and then move the playhead where I want to paste the clip, the Viewer now showing where I've repositioned the playhead for an edit.
BUT when I paste, the Viewer goes black except for a generic icon indicating the name of the Project:
At this point, moving the playhead around the Timeline has fo affect on the Viewer: still just the generic icon. I can hit play, and the playhead doesn't move (nor does the Viewer show anything beside the icon).
It's only when I refocus on the Viewer specifically and back again to the Timeline (either by clicking on it, or via key command) that the Viewer shows what's under the playhead. All of this doesn't happen when I simply drag clips around.
Dang annoying. Something I'm doing wrong, or a bug?

I copied quiet a few compund clips that are made up of edited MultiCam Clips from different projects to a new project just yesterday. It grew to be 50 mins. On a couple - toward the end - I did experience something similar as you describe. I "fixed" it by double clicking on the "pasted to" "new" Project in the browser and its timeline a couple of times, then scrubbing. It may have worked itself out had I just waited tho.
Good luck

After paste attributes(transform and crop), it is strange crop...

Hi everybody~
I did copy from one clip and then paste attributes to same positon, scale , and crop.
But after that, like that above image, crop is problem.
Of course I replaced source clip again and no problem.
But I want to know why that problem occured.
Help me~

What about the frame size of the project?
I tried with two clip recorded with my MBP's iSight camera (at 640x480).
On a 640x480 project, I could not make the problem occur. Paste atributes worked correctly.
On an 1080p project, the problem manifested itself. It seems that pasting atributes somehow messes up the spatial conform parameter: while it still shows as "Fit", it appears as if it were set to "None", as far as I can tell.
(Of course, such an error has not effect when the dimensions of the clip coincide with those of the project it is in).

Clips rendered in After Effects appear blown out in Color.

720p DVCPRO 23.98 project from FCP has graphics rendered in After Effects (same codec) in sequence.
They appear fine in the FCP project. All the properties of the graphic clips match the same settings as the footage that was shot.
Once in COLOR the clips rendered from AE appear blown-out, washed-out...
Any ideas why or how to correct this?
thanks!

There is also a problem with Big-Endian-ness being flip-flopped with dpx files incompatible with some external graphics processing software. This has the feel of some sort of scaling misinterpretation.
Shake was broken (in Quicktime) for anything above 8-bit for a long time before that finally got fixed about 6 months ago. All of a sudden (after the FCS2 introduction and Quicktime update) all we got out after a seemingly normal render (showed up fine in Preview) was a big noiseball of something that looked vaguely like it might be the outline of the original media. Its curious that FCP previews it "okay"... did you indicate the recompressing software? Compressor?

Error Message when trying to view/edit clips from Flip Cam

I am trying to edit some video from a flip cam on Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and it won't play. I've imported it both from an external HD and also the laptop itself and both times I get 2 error messages. First "General Error" then "Error: Out Of Memory"
I've already tried deleting my preferences but that didn't work.
Please help

Having owned several flip cams, I can tell you that the raw video clip coming out of the camera itself is a .avi file. If by chance someone had changed the extension of the raw video clip to mp4, or whatever that FCE (final cut express) likes, that will not change the fact that the clip is unusable without washing it through a conversion process. Im all in agreement on free.

Clip is flipped after pasting "scale"
