Clips splitting when adding more clips

i have one main movie in my project and then I'm adding more clips on top of it on other video tracks.
the only problem is, whenever i do that, my main clips splits into two, right in the place where i'm adding a new clip. is there any way to disable that?

sounds like you are insert editing the new clips and you want to do an overwrite edit.
if you are doing it by drag and drop, take note of an arrow that appears when you drag the clip to the timeline. if you hover the mouse in the top third of the clip you are editing to, the arrow will point right - meaning it will 'insert' the new clip, and therefore move everything to accommodate. If you hover the mouse in the bottom two thirds, you will see the arrow point down - this means it will be an overwrite edit, and it won't move the other clips..

Final cut Express HD sound splits when adding video clips

this have been happening recently. I set up my music and start add video and photos. Im new to FCE. Anway now when I add a clip the music bar splits seperating to the width of the clip.
Whats causeing this and what is the fix.
thank you

Hi
A. I don't know
B. BUT it happens to me to and my strategy is
- to add new material beyond the end of all material in TimeLine
- then move it into place.
This also happens to me when adding Video to another track ==> all splits - but by first add it beyond the end and move it into place always works.
But to be able to put it (Video, Photos and Audio) into right place directly would have been great.

Sequence Settings message when adding LT clip

I was one who took the plunge with QT 7.4.5.
I'm running FCP 6.0 on OS 10.5.2
I found upon importing a rendered Livetype clip that when adding to timeline it shows this message:
<Warning This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings.?>
If I say no, it needs to be rendered. If I say yes it adds to the timeline without needing rendering.
BUT...THen any other previous clips added from the project force the above message.
I am wondering what in my preferences are being affected and what is a good workaround?
Perhaps just adding and re-rendering in FCP?
Thanks!

Duh..I was looking in preferences, and now I vaguely remember this menu.
Thanks ThrillCat!!

IDVD 7.0.2 crashes when adding more movies

I am using iDVD 7.0.2, because I have the old 17" Mac laptop.
The iDVD crashes when adding more than one movie and trying to save the project.
Any idea about that ?

I'm assuming you really mean 20GB's or more of hard drive space rather than RAM memory .... only because I don't anyone on this forum with 20GB's or more of random access memory.
This is directly from the iDvd Help Menu:
Best Performance
When you select Best Performance, iDVD encodes your video in the background as you’re working on your project instead of waiting until you burn it. This can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to create a finished DVD. This is a good choice if your project is an hour or less in duration (for a single-layer disc). You’ll finish your project more quickly, and the encoding quality will be excellent for the amount of video you have.
Best Performance encodes your video at a preset bit rate that produces great quality for projects that can easily fit on your disc. If you have a larger project that needs to be squeezed onto a disc, you should select one of the other encoding options.
To check menus open the drop zone editor and check menu info.
Motion Menus in general are not intended for long durations. Suggestion: Keep loops short and sweet (including any added audio).
This too is directly from iDvd's Help Menu:
The menus in a DVD can include background movies that play while the menu is showing as well as buttons that play video (called “motion buttons”). The total allowable playing time for video in all such “motion menus” in a DVD is 15 minutes. If total playing time is longer than 15 minutes, you will not be able to burn the DVD. You can keep track of the playing time for all menus in a project in the Project Info window.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

PRE9: How to split one clip into two (or more) clips?

I can't believe this is so hard to do... But HOW?

You don't necessarily need to separate the file into individual clips. When you do a cut on the timeline, this is a virtual cut, leaving the original file untouched but determining what will appear in the output. You can split the clip into multiple pieces, delete the bits you don't want, add transitions, insert new bits, whatever you want, all without affecting the original file in any way. Once you're happy, you output a new file using the Share options, and you get a new video file, with your original files still untouched.
If you want to split your file into multiple individual files, you can use the sliders on the time scale, and export (Share) using the Share Work Area Only checkbox. If you're doing this for purposes of reassembly, it would be better to save the individual clips in as lossless a format as possible, the default AVI format taking considerably more space but not losing quality. Hint: the sliders can be positioned to the time marker using Alt-[ and Alt-]. Once you've done this, note that your original file will still be there, untouched.
There is also VideoRedo Plus, a cheap program which gives frame-accurate selection and allows rapid subdivision of a piece of footage. It doesn't re-render as PE9 would (this is where loss of image quality creeps in using compressed formats such as MPEG), copying the original frames. You can then reassemble the bits using your video editor.

Music splits when adding photo and video clip

Every time I add a new photo or video clip it makes the music split, so there is a gap in music from the beginning of the clip to the end. I can pull the music back, but that is getting aggravating. Is it the setting I have it on?

There's a grey horizontal line near the middle of each track. When you drag a new item from the browser into the timeline, it appears with a black arrow. As you drag, when the cursor is above the grey horizontal line, the black arrow points right, meaning you're performing an "insert" edit, which moves everything else to the right in the timeline. If the cursor is below the grey line, the black arrow points down, meaning you're performing an "overwrite" edit, which should leave your audio tracks in place.

What kind of problem? (Unwanted clip splitting when importing)

I am using an intel iMac (alu 2.4 ghz) and a sony hdr-hc5. Did import almost 2 hours of video in full hd (but not the full pixels quality, I think around 590? dont remember...)
The problem is that sometimes (not much just one-two times ) i've got "splits" during a clip (but there was not a "stop" during recording) resulting in a small gap in video/audio. So since I remember that got similar thing with another camcorder (DV not fullhd), I wanted to know if You experienced similar problems, or the problem is 1) my firewire cable, 2) my imac/hard disk.. or am just unlucky with cameras!! ...
Thanks and sorry for my bad english, (i was in hurry too)!

My best guess would be inconsistent drive speed or vibration detection by the Sudden Motion Sensor. If the problem is more or less consistent, I would assume the former. If only infrequent, I would tend to go with the latter. Here is some background information per Apple Article 300781:
All MacBook and MacBook Pro computers, PowerBook G4 computers starting with PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5GHz), PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz), and PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.67GHz) and iBook computers starting with iBook G4 (Mid 2005) have Sudden Motion Sensor technology, built-in protection for the hard disk that is designed to help prevent disk failures if the computer is dropped or undergoes severe vibration. The Sudden Motion Sensor is designed to detect unusually strong vibrations, sudden changes in position or accelerated movement. If the computer is dropped, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads to help reduce the risk of damage to the hard drive on impact. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses that the PowerBook position is once again stable, it unlocks the hard drive heads, and you are up and running within seconds.
In general, Sudden Motion Sensor protection does not change hard disk performance with regular PowerBook, MacBook or MacBook Pro operation. Occasionally, the Sudden Motion Sensor may be activated by unusually strong vibrations at a time when your PowerBook is writing data intensively, such as when recording video or audio. Should you experience dropped frames or sound elements in such a situation, make sure that your PowerBook is in a stable environment without vibration or abrupt movement.
(Note that in some locations you may see the Sudden Motion Sensor referred to as the Mobile Motion Module. Both names refer to the same feature.)
For those interested, the following was extracted from Apple Article 300724:
Apple has adjusted this feature carefully to provide the best balance between protecting the hard drive and preventing unwanted activation of the Sudden Motion Sensor. Most PowerBook G4 owners will never need to turn this feature off, and Apple suggests that you not modify the settings unless absolutely necessary.
In some environments, such as live concert halls, recording studios, or dance clubs, external vibrations may be major enough to cause the module to unexpectedly park the hard drive heads, resulting in interrupted sound or video playback. In these situations, you may find that you want to disable the feature temporarily.
To disable the Sudden Motion Sensor:
First, find the current status of Sudden Motion Sensor:
1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Utilities.
2. In the Utilities folder, open Terminal.
3. When the command line appears, type sudo pmset -g and press Return.
4. Type in the administrator password when prompted and hit Return. This command queries the computer for the current setting of the Sudden Motion Sensor, which you can determine by locating the ams entry (in Mac OS X 10.3) or the sms entry (in Mac OS X 10.4) and looking to the right to determine its value. The default setting is "1" (turned on).
Disabling the Sudden Motion Sensor in Mac OS X 10.3:
1. In Terminal, which should still be open from the previous step, you can disable the Sudden Motion Sensor by typing sudo pmset -a ams 0 and pressing Return (changing the setting to a zero disables the module).
2. Type your administrator password when you are prompted and press Return.
3. Type the sudo pmset -g command again to be sure that the setting has been applied.
Disabling the Sudden Motion Sensor in Mac OS X 10.4:
1. In Terminal, which should still be open from the previous step, you can disable the Sudden Motion Sensor by typing sudo pmset -a sms 0 and pressing Return (changing the setting to a zero disables the module).
2. Type your administrator password when you are prompted and press Return.
3. Type the sudo pmset -g command again to be sure that the setting has been applied.
Any changes that you make to the Sudden Motion Sensor setting remains in effect even after you restart the computer. If you choose to disable the Sudden Motion Sensor, Apple recommends that you re-enable it as soon as possible in order to take full advantage of the feature.
To re-enable the Sudden Motion Sensor:
First, find the current status of Sudden Motion Sensor:
1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Utilities.
2. In the Utilities folder, open Terminal.
3. When the command line appears, type sudo pmset -g and press Return. Type your administrator password when you are prompted and press Return. If you have the Sudden Motion Sensor turned off, the value of the ams entry (in Mac OS X 10.3) or sms entry (in Mac OS X 10.4) will be a zero (0).
Re-enabling the Sudden Motion Sensor in Mac OS X 10.3:
1. If the above command returns a zero, you can re-enable the Sudden Motion Sensor by typing sudo pmset -a ams 1 and pressing Return.
2. Type your administrator password when you are prompted and press Return.
3. Type the pmset -g command again to be sure that the setting has been applied.
Re-enabling the Sudden Motion Sensor in Mac OS X 10.4:
1. If the above command returns a zero, you can re-enable the Sudden Motion Sensor by typing sudo pmset -a sms 1 and pressing Return.
2. Type your administrator password when you are prompted and press Return.
3. Type the pmset -g command again to be sure that the setting has been applied.

IMovie crashes when adding audio clip

I am in the middle of creating a movie, everything has been going very smoothly and then suddenly iMovie started crashing whenever I try to add a sound clip to a slide.
The audio clip does initially appear to be added, but then iMovie hangs and I have to force quit.
Any ideas on why this would suddenly start occuring when everything was working fine up 'til now?

I hope you don't mind my jumping in and adding to the muddied waters, but I am also having trouble with iMovie transitions. I just bought the MacBook Pro - 200 gig hard drive with boosted RAM. I have experienced the following problems:
1. After reading Karl's caution about iMovie trash, I don't empty the trash until the project is completed, so that's not the issue.
2. And this is what's odd . . . I just put one movie together and had not a single glitch. I pulled stills in using Ken Burns, was able to go back and edit the clips, change transitions, etc.
3. I have another movie that I have been working on and it was going fine UNTIL I added the first transition. After that, whenever I select a clip I get a black screen and have to reimport the photo to see it.
4. When I try and add transitions, sometimes they work, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the system crashes, and sometimes it looks like it is going to render, but the rendering line never progresses.
5. I have tried deleting the plist files for both iMovie and iPhoto, and repairing permissions, but it doesn't work.
6. No security features are turned on.
7. I do have slick transitions, but as I said, they worked fine in the first movie (where trash was never emptied.)
This is making me crazy and is far too time consuming. Karl, any thoughts?
Thanks so much.

Is it possible to split an added audio clip (like you can with the video clips)?

I'm working in iMovie 9. I've recorded a audio voiceover that I added to my video clips.
I want to be able to split the voiceover audio so I can separate the different sentences and move them to where they are appropriate relative to the video.
With video, this is easily done with shift+command+S.
I tried selecting the audio track and doing shift+command+S but it doesn't work.
I can't figure out how to do this. Is it possible?

Thanks for the tip. Tried it, no go. Guess 9 is primitive that way.
I now remember a few years ago having the same problem, and I contacted Apple and suggested they make this possible in future versions of iMovie. Guess they listened to me!

Why does the first clip freeze when the second clip should be playing in iMovie '09?

I'm making a video for my film class and it is due tomorrow. But the thing is that when I play the video through, one of the clips gets stuck on the last second of the previous clip. HELP!!!!!

Thanks, Ann. As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings. I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem. The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument. I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole. Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

Black screen when adding more than 2gb memory

I have Toshiba Satellite P105-6147. I recently added 1 gb to my machine, and wth the 512mb worked fine. I want to replace 512mb with 2gb - for a total of 3gb - but computer will not boot up in that configuration. Any suggestions on how to get it to work the extra memory? Does this model even support more than 2 gb? Thanks.

Satellite P105-S6147
for a total of 3gb
According to the spec above, the maximum is 2 GB.
But that model should never had been configured with less than 2 GB. Vista will barely even boot with 1 GB.

Hi!
Are you using auto smart linking functionality of Crystal ? If so, try without auto smart linking with tables - works with me...
I think the bug is laying on the newest odbc-driver of OpenEdge, above few rows of readme file that game with openedge 10.2b sp05 :
Note: OE00205286    Type: Workaround
A file DSN connection to Crystal RDC fails with ODBC 6.0 Drivers
DataDirect ODBC 6.0 drivers can not handle the full path of a file DSN, causing
a connection to Crystal RDC to fail. Use the ODBC 5.3 drivers instead of 6.0
with Release 10,2B05 to work around this problem with the driver.
-> if you can, try to use older driver (pgoe23...)..

Audio files split when adding video

hello. sometimes when i add video to the timeline, the audio tracks seem to split. why is this and can i turn that feature off because it gets annoying after awhile.

How split? Use the patch panel to set which tracks get sent to which destination. Link a1 to A1 and a2 to A2 if that's where you want it to go. If you want it to go someplace else set the patches to different track destinations.
