Clip twice imported into timeline

I don't know how this happens... I always import the same way: go to Log and Transfer, select the clips (P2) and then "add selection to queue". then I double click in the browser to load it and then drag the clip to the right window to load it in the timeline. I noticed, that more than 50 % of the clips are double imported. Well, I can delete the first one, but this is troublesome when you have hundereds of clips!
I just wonder what would cause that double import?
Never had that problem before.
Thank you

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

  • Editing and saving individual clips for import into iDVD

    I've begun a large project digitizing many old family 8mm projector films. Each reel, varying in size from 3 to 20 min, was imported into iMovie HD 6 as individual clips. These clips are, in a sense, self contained movies. I want to use iMovie to mute the sounds, add a soundtrack, and make some visual adjustments. My goal is to create an iDVD project with several submenus based on location, in each menu will be a list of the reels (iMovie clips), that took place in each location.
    I've figured out how to do everything except saving and exporting edited clips to iDVD. Since iMovie is set up to create one movie per project (the timeline represents one movie, right?), I can import individual clips into iDVD but they aren't edited. What I want to be able to do is drag one clip into the timeline, make my adjustments, save it, put it back with the other clips to be imported in iDVD, and repeat the process. Is this possible in iMovie? Should I get something else like Final Cut Express?

    I gather that what you want to do is modify the clips and save them as self contained movies for eventual import into iDVD.
    Edit your clip in iMovie, add your sound track, and then File/Export/compress movie for Full Quality to your desktop as a self contained Quicktime Movie. Each of these self contained Quicktime Movies can be dragged into your iDVD project by dragging them to the edge of the main iDVD menu window.

  • Video Distortion when clip is dropped into timeline

    My system: Windows 7 64 bit.
    Intel Core I5-2500k [email protected] (4 CPUs)
    Memory: 8 Gigs RAM
    I am new to using Premiere Elements 10 as this is the first video editing program I have ever worked with however I am very computer literate.
    Problem: I have numerous video clips I shot with my camera. I decided to make a project for the fist time using a bunch of clips I shot from a dog show. All of the clips that I shot were in the same format of AVC HD 24M (FX), 1920x1080 (60i). Most of the clips are a few mintues long but two were shot at max video time of 29 mintues (shot with a camera Sony DSC-HX100V). When I dropped these into the timeline and did the smart trim option the video had lighting issues such as flickering and the black images had static. NOTE: I have been successful in getting these two video clips to come out in great quality after trimming when I did this in a separate project by itself.
    If I view the vidoes in the project are they play perfectly, its just when I drop them into timeline and trim them that I get the lower quality issues. I have about 20 vidoe clips in the timeline that before trimming are about an hour and a half. After trimming the movie is about 30 mintus. Every clip is great except the two that are longer in length.
    Being a new user I am sure I must be doing something wrong. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Do you have a redline across the top of the timeline when you first import the clips?
    If yes does it run -
    the whole length of the timeline? If so you have chosen the wrong project setting.
    only across some segments. If yes you are using mixed footage. Press [Enter] to render the redline clips. When done the redline clips will go green and you should get a smoother preview playback.
    Note that the render is only to make previews smoother. You don't have to do it as, when you share the footage, the whole project will be rendered. Also note that as you apply effects to a clip it will show a redline across that clip and for smooth preview you should render ( Press [Enter] ).

  • Audio from video clips in FCP X not importing into timeline

    All my video clips play with sound in preview. Once I select my clip and drag it into the timeline, the audio disappears. It's not muted, In the top right information box, it only says Video/Info.
    I have instrumental music playing in the background, but I would like a specific clip to play with sound, and it's just not working out. Am I doing something wrong?

    Is the timeline set to edit source video and audio?

  • Missing Video from clip when bringing into timeline

    I'm currently editing a video and half-way through, I'm not sure what happened but now whenever I try to insert a clip from left-hand side clip selection into the timeline, there is a circle with a line through it when I try to place the video where my other video is. I can, however put it in the sound section - the sound works but no video. I've tried saving everything and restarting premiere, I've rendered the video, deleted the clips and put them into the selection, and even brought new clips from my computer in. Nothing has worked.
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC and I am on a Mac. Is there any other information I need to provide? I feel that I've somehow changed a setting but I'm not sure what I've done.

    Your track is probably not patched.

  • How do I remove white outline on clipping paths imported into Flash?

    I have been trying to import clipping paths into Flash, but the images look fine, except for the white outline around the imported clipping paths. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to remove this, or what I am doing wrong? The clipping path looks fine when I drop it on the same color background in Illustrator. I'm using CS2 and Flash 8. Thanks.

    Check to see if a stroke being added to the vector when you bring it into Flash? If so, just delete the stroke.

  • Help, my 16x9 QT clips are importing into FCP as 4x3.

    I'm working on a project where I'm compiling a bunch of other people's work. The videos are all 4x3 or 16x9. For some reason when I imported QuickTime files that are 16x9, FCP is squeezing them to 4x3.
    My final sequences will be 4x3 with letter boxes on the 16x9 footage.
    Thanks.

    if you want to correct the aspect ratio before adding the clips to the timeline. scroling along the columns in the browser, finding the anarorphic column and put a tick besides all the shots that need to be changed.

  • IPhoto Clips not importing into IMovie

  • Itunes does not play after importing into timeline

    I have looked at similar topics in this discussion forum but still unable to get the answers.Basically the problem is that after importing (purchased) itunes(6) music(and it imports OK)there is no music when played back in the time line.In the imovie palette (audio view) the itunes music plays normally.CD is also greyed out even if there is a CD in the CD drive,so obviously CD tracks cannot be played.Itunes 'by itself' plays normally and CD is also recognised.Voice overs thru microphone,original audio from footage also plays normally.All boxes ticked on the right/computer volume set to high etc so setting seems allright.I am using formac studio to import analogue footage and can hear the original sound when importing.Using imovie 3.03 on ibook.this may/maynot be relevant-on the G3 imac in imovie(3.03)the itunes/CD tracks imports and plays on the timeline,however the original footage soundtrack sounds like gunfire from a machine gun.It is normal with the imported itunes soundtrack switched off.
    Grateful for any thoughts/adv

    Hi rav - are you sure that if you have a CD installed you cannot see its tracks in the Audio Pane? Even though 'Audio CD' is greyed out, the contents of the CD are still there and accessible.
    Can you convert the track to mp3 format? iMovie does accept mp3s. Doing so might break the deadlock.
    Sorry, I can't help with your other audio issue.

  • Why won't my video won't import into iMovie. There is a red ERROR message underneath clip.

    I just imported 40 out of 43 clips of HD video from my JVC HD Everio camera into iMovie '11. It's my first time using either equipment for editing. I selected import all but only 40 of the clips successfully imported. 3 of the clips were not able to be imported but I can still play the clips fine from the import window. The clips all have red error messages underneath them. This is an issue that I've seen posted other places online but it doesn't seem to be resolved. It's very frustrating for me, I've been researching online to try to fix this for hours now. The closest I have come to a solution involved deleting extra 3rd party plugins from my quicktime folder however I don't have a folder named "Quicktime" in my Library. So I don't know what to do. Please help!

    The error message appears under video clips already imported into iMovie. Like in this screenshot http://km.support.apple.com/resources/sites/APPLE/content/live/VIDEOS/0/VI57/en_ US/imovie-start-poster.jpg on my mac out of the 6 clips shown per row, only 5 of them have the word "imported" underneath them in white letters and then one of the clips has the word "error" underneath it.
    I don't think it's a corrupted file because yeah I can play the three clips just fine. The page that I read that had that fix in it (deleted plugins) was here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893021?start=0&tstart=0 The correct answer is near the bottom of the page and was posted by iphonejunky. Maybe the fix would be that simple but like I said, I can't find a folder named quicktime in my library. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what.
    I don't think I have Flip4Mac installed because I never consciously installed it. I use VLC for playing most video. The clips imported are all .mov

  • Movie clip won't import into iMovie.

    Hi
    Ok at the risk of sounding like a complete dumbo...
    I have a JVC Everio G 30Gb Hard disc camcorder. I can't get my clip to import into iMovie. All I get is the following message...
    "The file could not be imported: The file “File Name Here” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048"
    Can anybody help or know some way around this?
    I sorta figured that like iPhoto, where you can pretty much download from any big brand digital camera, it would be the same with iMovie.

    Hi iMovieNewbie - welcome to the forum!
    Many people have your ailment!! The problem is that your camera records in MPEG2 format which is really not compatible with iMovie. iMovie's native format is DV, which is designed to be a no-loss, editable format. MPEG is really just a viewing format.
    There are workarounds, but they involve converting MPEG into DV, for which you will need:
    MPEG StreamClip (free):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    and
    Apple MPEG2 PlayBack($20):

  • Why do 4 video clips import into iMovie and one doesn't?

    I attempted to import 5 short clips into my MacBook Pro from the same event, shot with an ipad2.  Four of the clips easily imported into iMovie.  IMovie said that the fifth clip wouldnt import because it is 'not compatible with iMovie'. All of the clips are 1280x720, H.264/AAC, encoding 7.0.2. Importing to IMovie 11, version 9.0.9.  I've read thru some of the strings but haven't quite found this problem. Any ideas?
    thank you

    I think this is an SD memory card camera. It does not work in a format that FCE uses. FCE only works with DV, HDV or AVCHD material. Everything else has to be converted to a format FCE works with.

  • Smooth Slow Motion from 50 fps Clip in 50 fps Timeline

    If I want 50% smooth slow motion from a 50 FPS video clip, I would normally ask PP to interpret that clip as 25 FPS - that works great.
    If however I import the 50 FPS video clip and interprett it as 50 FPS, I would have to set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% to get the same level of slow motion.
    The question is - when I follow the latter method, does PP create new frames for the slow motion or is it clever enough to use all the frames from the original 50 FPS video clip? to put it another away, does PP always generate NEW frames for slow motion or does it try to use the frames we are attempting to ignore?
    I've done some basic tests and so far I can't see any real difference between the two methods. This leads me to beleive PP is effectively using all of the original 50 frames when the 50 fps video clip is imported into a 50 fps timeline and then slowed down in the timeline by 50%. - if this is the case, well done PP!!! If this is not the case, then it would be a welcomed enhancement in future releases.
    I guess what you are all wondering is why would I want to import a 50 fps video clip into a 50 fps timeline and then slow it down in the timeline - well, as a wedding Videographer, it is simply because some parts of the video need to be in slow motion and other parts like messages and speeches need to be interpreted at normal speed. If playback in the timeline is at normal speed, i find it simpler to slow down the "Walking Down the Isle" clips rather than having to speed up the speeaches and messages.
    In short, when importing 50 fps video for smooth slow motion, are both the following methods equally effective in terms of smooth motion?
    Method 1: Import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline
    Method 2: import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline and set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% - I'm assuming PP does not generate new frames and gets them from the original 50 fps file instead..
    To put it another way, does PP ALWAYS attempt to generate new fromes when slowing down video in the timeline? When extra frames are available in the original video file, does PP try to get the extra frames from that file instead of generating new ones?

    I recorded 2 video clips of the same scene. The camera was panning from right to left.
    First video clip - recorded at 25 fps
    second video clip - recorded at 50 fps
    Both video clips recorded at the same panning speed of the same scene.
    1. If I import the 25 fps video into 25 fps timeline and slow it down by 50%, the exported video looks jerky.
    2. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline, the exported video looks smooth motion.
    3. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline, slow it down in the timeline by 50%, and export the video as 25 fps then the result is still smooth motion.
    I've only done the experiment once and may have to repeat to be absolutely sure.

  • PLS HELP: Video not showing up when inserting into timeline

    hi everyone:
    I recorded DV footage into FCP6. I have the DV footage opened in viewer and I set the in and out points. I drag the viewer footage into the timeline. But only the audio shows up in the time line.
    How do I enable it so video can be inserted again?
    I did some research and I'm aware there is the v1, a1, a2 on the left side of the timeline bar. If you disconnect v1, a1, or a2 it won't import into timeline on insert. However, even though I have v1 connected to v1 the video still won't show.
    May someone help? This project is time sensitive.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    hey Capt,
    It everything was recorded properly. Video and audio was captured while doing log and capture.
    I was ediiting and I could insert video and audio files fine. Then I just created a new sequence and now it only inserts audio not video. I tried to insert video in my previous sequences that had video but now video can't be inserted either.
    Did I hit some sort of key on the keyboard by accident that disabled the video insert?
    Yes the v1 is connected to v1, it is both snapped together when I import video so I don't understand why FCP is not importing video from my sequence, unless it's a bug?!
