Clips move around when I edit out a section

I am sure many of you know what I am trying to ask, it's just difficult for me to describe. When I edit out a section of one clip, all of the clips move over to fill in that space, that's not what I want to happen..I want everything to stay where it is and there to be a blank space where I just edited. I can get an animated part synced up perfect, decide to change one thing and the whole thing is messed up!
What am I missing here? Help?
Thanks in advance...
peace, pride & respect,
Chris

You aren't missing anything. That's just the way it works. Basically, you can't guarantee your audio sync until all of your video editing is done. You can try locking the various audio clips to the video clips at the playhead, using the Advanced menu. That might preserve the sync in most of your movie, depending at what point you removed the edited material. At least you probably could confine the "mess up" to one section of audio. But you still will need to account for the material you edited out, unless you want to leave a blank space there or edit your audio.
If you do want a blank space at your edit point, just create a space by dragging back the clips that moved over, until its back in sync with the audio. You can make note of how much duration you edited out, so that the created space is of the same duration. Then get out of the timeline and go to the movie clips display. You will see your space displayed as a black clip. Control click on it, and in the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to clip, if that's what you want. Of course, that will leave a black space in your movie.

Pages zoom and move around when I attempt to write on them

New to iPad. Primary use for which I purchased it was to read and annote pdfs. I've purchased PF Expert, and am extremely pleased with it so far---not only the app, but the support provided by the developers.
My issue may just be due to my lack of experience with the iPad. It is that when I attempt to highlight a document in PDF Expert using a stylus, the page zooms in and out and moves around. This makes highlighting pretty inconvenient. I would like pages to remain fixed, the way a piece of paper would while I'm writing on it. I have wrist protection turned on in PDF Expert.
Is there something I'm missing regarding technique? Or is there something I can set somewhere that will prevent this form happening.
Thanks,

anyone fix the problem yet?I cleared my cookies and that didnt work.

Why do my photos move around when I save an image from email so difficult to locate the new saved image

My photos move around randomly after I save an image from email can't locate picture easily with 1000 photos on iPad please help

I believe the default is for them to order themselves in 'date taken' order. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to change that. It's the default in the photos app and users can't change it. You can try looking for a third party photo app that may have more functionality. Afraid I can't recommend any since I've never looked for them but I'm sure someone can.

Items in Tree control move around when data is submitted using custom ItemRenderer

I'm working on a Tree control with an XMLListCollection as
its dataProvider.
The dataProvider has information looking like this :
quote:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<INFO>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_NAME"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_EMAIL"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_OPTIONAL"
type="branch"
value="0"
>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_ADDRESS"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_POSTAL_CODE"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
</FIELD>
</INFO>
So in the Tree control I'd like the information to show up
with a label and
an
editable textbox for each item :
[Label] [textbox]
To do this I made a tree like this :
quote:
<mx:Tree id="userTree"
editable="true"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="curVal"
itemRenderer="{new ClassFactory(ItemRendererUser)}"
itemEditEnd="e_ProcessData(event);"
dataDescriptor="{new DataDescriptorUsers()}"
showRoot="false"
verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.AUTO}"
/>
where the e_ProcessData() function looks like this (I used
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=c
elleditor_073_16.html#202105 as a guide) :
quote:
public function e_ProcessData(event:ListEvent):void
event.preventDefault();
userTree.editedItemRenderer.data.@value =
ItemRendererUsers(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).curVal;
userTree.destroyItemEditor();
userTree.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(userTree.editedItemRenderer);
} // END OF e_ProcessData()
I attached the rest of the files because they're a little
bit longer.
When I run the program, the data shows up fine when it is
initialized the
very
first time, and I made a test button that just dumps the
contents of the
dataProvider in a trace statement to verify that the data has
been set
properly.
The problem I've run into is whenever the textfield is
edited, the item
that
I've selected jumps around the list.
For example, if I edit the item "STR_USER_NAME" after I
finish the edit, it
will move from the very first position in the Tree to the
bottom of the
Tree.
I traced the contents of the dataProvider and the
dataProvider structure
stays
the same, with the "STR_USER_NAME" at the top, but if I look
at the flex app
in
the web browser, its position is at the bottom of the Tree.
This happens for every other item I try to edit... I read in
the
documentation
that the ItemRenderers are recycled, so it means I should be
checking to
make
sure the initial states are covered, but I'm not sure how
this affects my
application.
Can anyone help me out with this ? Its very confusing - I've
tried making
an
ItemRenderer using pure actionscript, mxml and the
combination you see in
this
example and I always end up with the same behaviour - So I
must be missing
something critical...
// ItemRendererUsers.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
horizontalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
creationComplete="initItemRendererUsers();"
>
From my FAQ:
Q: I've created a custom itemRenderer component to use in a
List
based component (Datagrid, TileList, HorizontalList, etc.).
When my List
first displays, everything looks fine, but when I scroll it
or change the
dataProvider, some of the itemRenderers show values or
formatting that
aren't right. How do I fix this?
A: List-based components don't draw a renderer for every item
in the
dataProvider. Instead, they create enough to display what is
on screen now,
plus one or two more waiting in the wings. This means they
recycle the
renderers rather than creating new ones when you change
dataProvider or
scroll up and down. When you use a creationComplete event to
set up the
itemRenderer, that event doesn't happen again when the
renderer is used for
a different set of data. The solution to this is to override
the set data
protected function that most components have.

Your set data needs to set a flag that gets picked up in
commitProperties()
and does your thing that you were doing before in
creationComplete. You
should see examples of this in the links I posted. Instead of
this:
_data.@value = inputText.text;
you should look at implementing IDropInListItemRenderer,
which will allow
you to dynamically determine which field to look at, instead
of hardcoding
it. You also might wind up overwriting the stored value with
a null value
when the List passes the stored value in. I'd encourage you
to really go
through those links I posted and make sure you understand
what they're
saying. The itemRenderer life cycle is one of the hardest
things to
understand, but once you understand it, it makes many things
in Flex much
easier. It's worth investing the time.

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Why are my b-roll clips moving around ??

I'm really confused and frustrated by this:
A) I have a primary storyline made by around 20 recordings.
B) I also have 4 b-roll clips, attached to the primary timeline where needed.
After timing/positioning all 4 b-roll clips so they were exactly where they should be, to my huge suprice, I realized that they had all moved slightly.
Not much, but still too much - out of sync.
I put them back and once again it happened.
I've been trying to figure out why this happens and I'm really frustrated about it.
Can someone please tell me WHY the clips move around?
I haven't been able to figure out if it's because I edit the primary timeline, if it's because of a bug or anything else.

When you say they move around, are you saying the connection point itself has moved? Or what you expect to be synced somewhere along the timeline no longer is synced?
If it is the latter, you might be doing transitions using 'Full Overlap', which will change the overall duration of your timeline; shorten the primary storyline and then possibly make your b-roll appear out of sync. To prevent this, go to preferences and in the Editing section, set transitions to use 'Available Media' which is what you would normally expect if you are used to using FCP 7.
If it is the former, that's a bit trickier, and could be a bug. A possible work-around is to move your b-roll and primary storyline it is synced to into a compound clip. That should keep everything in the compound clip synced without moving the connection point.

I want to crop out a section of my m4v without losing quality

I have an m4v file, and I import it into imovie.
Then I say share, and I export it for apple tv as a m4v file.
Now this came in as a m4v, and it's going out as an m4v, all i did was isolate a scene.
I would think it should have exactly the same quality, but now suddenly the movement isn't as smooth, and some of the images look pixelated.
I've tried a bunch of different settings but I've had no luck. Tried it with exporting it to a mov too, nothing works. Been working on this from various angles for 7 days now
I tried with and without the optimize video setting checked.
How can I just edit out a section of the movie without losing quality?
I don't care if I have to buy a program.. I have already bought two and used trial versions on a couple others, including final cut pro nothing has worked for me

I had to go all the way back to 2005, but I found my answer here:

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

Home sharing steam cuts out when I move around house from one Airport router area to another

Happens with iphones, ipad or macbooks. I have 3 Airport routers, Mac Mini with itunes library and home sharing enabled and working fine on all devices. If I move around the house I lose my Home Sharing stream. When I try to reconnect I am told I am "unble to connect to the resources". If I switch the shared library to the local device and then switch back to the Mac Mini library it reconnects and streams. If I move again to another area of the house I lose the stream again. Please help.

I never noticed these issues prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
That is because you didn't have them before you downgraded to Yosemite.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Go back to your older OS.. it is much better.. think of it as an upgrade.
Wait until apple debug the latest greatest OS and the beta testers, early users have all bleed out.. since they live on the bleed edge of life.
You can try a clean install.. that can help.. but IMHO it is still not worth the effort until you buy a new laptop.
Just look at the discussion area for huge amount of angst since Yosemite arrived.. especially with wireless dropouts.
As a hint of where things are going wrong start here.

Hi Stephen, thanx...
Yes, we are talking about FCP X...this is the thing:
I worked on a project a few days ago and went to share - export movie.
Today, i opened the FCP again, to make some changes, and when i enter to the project, it shows me as one big clip.....i dont see it says compound clip....and i tried anyways pressing break appart clips...but nothing....could it be that i made it compound before exporting it..? if so how can i recover the un-compound version >?
I tried to import the saved .mov file, but it opens the same....as one long clip...
Pls help...thanx.

Clips moving visually when zoomed in with mouse movement

Hello,
I am experiencing a glitch with the visual placement of the clips in Final Cut Pro X.
When I zoom in to the maximum level, the audio and video clips move visually. I can therefore not determine their exact alignment. When I move the mouse over the clips (a physical mouse by Logitech) without touching any other controls, the clips stutter around, and shift their apparent location.
I am using a brand new, maxed-out iMac and have restarted the program, and computer several times. This happens in all of my projects and not just the project in which I first noticed the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Luis, it is a 2013 27" iMac with a 3.4 GHz i7, 32 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 ram, an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048 MB, and has the 768 GB SSD drive.
Thanks for your replies guys!
I am glad the problem was solved. My guess is that the update included a new driver for the graphics card that may have solved some bugs.

Bringing in an uncompressed .mov...when exported, comes out lower quality??

hello
i am dealing with a project using adobe flash cs3 and final cut pro 2 on a mac.
i am exporting a quicktime from flash and then bringing that .mov into FC to edit, add music, etc.
when i export from final cut, i see that the clip isnt as crisp as it was when i originally exported from flash?
im wondering what could be the issue. the clip itself is short, roughly ten seconds, although, even if my final result would be a 300 mb clip to still retain that perfect quality, i won't mind.
when i exported from flash, i had to do different trial and errors to get it to keep its full quality. the aspect ratio is 720X480 .. although upon export trying an NTSC it was extremly pixelated. i just ended up doing an uncompressed, no codec, quicktime export...having the final result be 350mb for ten seconds! either way, i love the final result. nice and crisp.
i brought this into final cut...heres the problem, what i am assuming is happening, is there is a setting wrong in the sequence settings. here is what i have it currently set to:
in the general tab:
frame size 720X480 NTSC DV (3:2)
pixel aspect ratio NTSC - CCIR 601
field dominace none
editing timebase 30
compressor non
quality 100%
advanced - compressor none / quality 100%
^^^ i thought maybe the whole ntsc issue is what causes the slight lower quality, considering even though it is the same aspect ratio its not dv footage but just an uncompressed flash video quicktime
^^^ i tried changing the aspect ratio next to frame size to custom/ custom (3:2) ... everytime i clicked okay, and re-opened the seq. settings, it resorted back to ntsc automatically
also the pixel aspect ratio section (the one directly under) only lets you choose ntsc , square pix, or hd - there wasn't even a custom thing to choose for that one
the problem with my final export is that is has slight artifacting on the edges of things...
maybe it isnt the sequence settings, for when i changed the settings to this, the little video box in the canvas of the fcp interface has no artifacting.
so possibly it can be the export settings in final cut?
if i do an export in FC which is an ntsc, it comes out extremly pixelated
the closest thing i can get to 100 quality is doing an uncompressed 10 bit....which is still causing the slight artifacting on the edges of objects.
any ideas of what i can do to fix this problem? it would be extremly appreciated and thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
thankyou,
-Mike

UPDATE:
i discovered a way,
upon export,
instead of choosing uncompressed, i chose custom,
i then typed in whatever and exported...came out clean.
i don't know what uncompressed 10 bit caused artifacting though

How do I edit out a small section of a clip?

I have a movie clip that's 3 minutes long. I need to edit out 12 seconds in the middle of the clip. I've looked for video tutorials, but haven't found one for this. Can someone walk me thru how to do this please. Sorry, I'm a newbie to iMovie 09. Thank you very much for any and all help.

Note also that after deleting the section you can still adjust, or fine tune, the end and start points of the remaining video at the split points.
Hover the pointer near one of the split points (the edge of the clip) and a left/right arrow symbol will appear. Click on this and an orange handle will appear. This can be dragged back and forth in increments of single frames.
To do this type of fine tuning, make sure that certain preferences are set. In iMovie's menu, select iMovie > Preferences. In the General tab, check the box Show Advanced Tools. In the Browser tab, check the box Show Fine Tuning controls.
The instructions are for imovie '11. You mentioned iMovie '09 - I'm not sure if all this works the same in that version. Although, the latest version of iMovie '11 is numbered 9.0.8 - all a little confusing! You may actually be using iMovie '11.

From posts it looks like this is a common problem, but I've never seen an explanation or fix from Apple. Does anyone know how to correct this?

It is asking if you want to delete all the iCloud contacts off your Mac (not in iCloud).
Delete them. If you keep them you will have duplicates when you turn it back on. You will have the copy you kept and another copy when they resync with iCloud
