Color is changing the clips in and out points

I tried to import into color a fcp7 sequence. The original footage are quicktime clips.
When the project opens in color, the in and out points of the clips are not there and it gives me the beginning of the clip.
With other footage that I ingested in FCP I don't have a problem.
Can someone explain this to me.
Thanks

>The original footage are quicktime clips.
What FORMAT of Quicktime? Because QT is just a container that can be one of a dozen codecs. Color ony works with certain codecs, like ProRes, HDV, XDCAM, DVCPRO HD. If the codec is anything but those...it will have serious problems.

Why changing clip's in/out points leaves gap in timeline?

When I change a clip's in/out points in the viewer, it leaves a gap in the timeline (while preserving the overall duration of the sequence).
Is there any way to change the in/out points so that there won't be a gap (adjacent clips move next to changed clip). I've tried the overwrite edit. Do I need to use the ripple or roll delete tool? If so, how would I do it?
Thanks!

I really don't want to get into a snitching match here. < </div>
Doh! Too late. You can contribute to the thread but trying to point out flaws in DH and Shane posts is a waste of time. You can take shots at me all you want, I just pretend to be in their league, that's my job around here.
learn how FCP works and you will be a happy camper. < </div>
The surprise for newbies is that FCP is remarkably deep and complex. It comes with 2000 pages of manuals. Thinking it should or will behave like any other application you've ever known, including other video apps, is silly.

Cannot delete clips in timeline using in and out points

Can't delete or trim clips clips in the timeline when I use the in and out points. Can't figure out this flaw. Its as if final cut does not recognize the ine in and out points. I 've been using the razor to make edits, but when a come across a flash frames and need in and out points to delete the flashframe, I'm in trouble.
Thanks

Hi -
You are missing a step.
Set the in and out points on the section you want to delete:
Then type Option-A to select the area within the In and Out Point:
Then press the small delete key or Shift+ Regular Delete Key and it will delete the section you've designated with an In and Out and pull up the rest of the edit:

Any quick way of deleting the "sticky" I and O points in Events?

The sticky In and Out points in Events can be useful but there are times I would lke to remove them.
Is there a quick way other than by grabbing each point and dragging it to the start or end of the clip?

I'm teaching for quite a while a musician how to use FCPX.
He's biased by Pinnacle too and extremely impatient:
"Explain me the basics later - how do I accomplish the following effect: …???"
He com-ple-te-ly misses the advantages of that new, different GUI!
(e.g. he's still thinking in/using 'tracks', and is shy off secondary storyline. compound clips, multicam etc)
I well remember when being confronted with the new paradigms 5y ago (iMovie08) - it was in my opinion a complete weird interface.
meanwhile, although just hobby usage, I'm 'flying' thru projects
and the new vers.06, allowing to set multiple selections in a clip, will optimize my editing-process again by factor 500% (I just have to teach me the new keyboard shortcuts).
... shortcuts + MagicTrackpad = awesome!

Problems with set in and out points

I am editing a basketball game-have done 20 of these games. Suddenly, I cannot change the set in point. If I make a new set in point, my last edit disappears from the timeline. How do I correct this?

I DO make sure the clip in the timeline is not selected when I set the new in and out points in the source clip. I have not been able to figure out anything that is different from the usual way I do this that is why this baffles me. I use PP daily and this seems to happen about once a month. I can't figure it out. I save, quit and restart the computer and then it works as it should. I was trying to understand so that I could prevent this from happening.
I do appreciate your common courtesy, Craig.

How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!

Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp?

I'm fairly new to Ae/ PP, and am trying to figure out a good workflow for grading (using resolve lite) Basically, I need to denoise my footage first (neat video) and then send that footage to Resolve, then back to pp. Now, this works fine with Resolve's scene detector as it can cut up the footage, but if there are any dissolves, etc, then I need to do this via xml instead.
What I would like to do is: Edit in PP. Send to AE to denoise, render (the denoise need to happen before grading) and replace the original files with the new denoised clips in pp. Then send the xml to Resolve. So far this would work if it wasn't for AE rendering everything into one clip, eliminating the cuts/layers.
Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp? If not, any other workflow that could work for me?
Hope someone can help- dynamic link is driving me up the wall.

Simply use Dynamic Link to send your whole timeline to AE or use AE's Premiere project import. Then once you have a working AE project, you can use scripts like rdPreCompose to create separate sub-comps for each clip which in turn you then can render separately. Still, the limitation will always be the kind of transitions you use. Essentialyl you should avoid anything that isn't a hard cut or simple cross dissolve 'cos there's no way to recreate it in AE without eating up the handle of your footage. You'd essentialyl be shooting yourself in teh foot if you jump ahead too far in Premiere and already add too much finishing there.

Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2? It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar. Thanks

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

Clips shift in and out points after render (Dissolves messed up too) Urgent

Hello all, I have a frustrating and urgent problem.
I'm working with DV NTSC footage at 23.98 fps, shot 24pA and captured with the advanced pulldown removal from a dvx100.
The problem arises when I am rendering my footage from a color correction, etc, the in and out points of my shots change and the shot seems to shift. The cut points don't change, but the shot shifts position within them, almost as if rendering has caused final cut to use the slip tool on these and move them ever so slightly forward or backward.
This problem is also effecting my dissolves, causing them to start to dissolve then suddenly jerk into another part of the clip and then back to the shot that it is transitioning to.
I have tried outputting a QT movie of my timeline (in order to color correct that instead and avoid a render), but as you may have guessed, this only results in a QT movie with all of the above problems.
It is very similar, if not the same, as the problem described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8096178&#8096178
I'm under a deadline and any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks all,
Nathan

I've had that happen before. Crazy as it sounds, I "solved" it by laying a large video file over the top of the timeline (covering everything) then brought the opacity down to 0%. Go figure but it worked; everything straightened out and rendered fine.
Ghost in the machine for sure.

Problems fading sound clips in and out in iM 6 HD

I have imported a MP3 music clip into my movie timeline. It plays fine on playback.But when I share with iDVD, and test it on my computer or a DVD player the fade in/out on that specific spot is very abrupt and erratic and sounds quite terrible. I have tried changing frame rate settings from 29.97fps to 25 fps ( We run PAL and not NTSC) here in South Africa. I've even tried importing the original MP3 as an .AIFF and even a Quicktime movie from Quicktime Pro. After writing the DVD, the fade ins and outs sound terrible, no matter what I do.
out of options

Hi Squid, welcome!
You can't use PAL at anything but 25 fps!
How are you setting the fade? Usually one 'extends' the timeline and manipulates the volume there.

RE: Help in changing the clip to match the sequence

Hi All,
I'm a novice using premiere Pro CS6 and having problems with something so hoping someone can advise.
Basically I've imported some clips into the project folder. the first clip i imported into the timeline gave me a pop up saying this clip does not match the sequence settings. i had obviously chosen the wrong settings but premiere recognised the mistake and prompted me. Now I opted to change the sequence setting and the clip worked and fitted fully in the program panel when played on there.
however when I choose another clip and drag it into the timeline, the clip has black sides and appears to be smaller in the program panel e.e. it is not fully fitted even tho the drop down is on 'fit' . I had no pop up asking me to change the clip to match sequence setting for this either.
How else do I match this clip to the sequence if no pop up come up to change it?
its prob well simple - but I cant work it out?? please help

Hey tstormSierra,
thanks for your ply.
The problem is that the clip I first put on the timeline was from someone who filmed a boring long clip of a karate fight, so there were no camera angles or view points to play around with. So i basically made edits by making cuts in the clip andplaying around using scale and positioning to give the impression of other camera angles.
Anyhow I cant delete that and put in the other clip as Ive worked hard on it already. I just wondered if there was a manual way of matching the sequence settings, cause all the clips are from the same camera and settings.
In regards to scaling the frame size - i did this and it looked fine, but when I came to use the stabilizer in came up with clip needs to match the sequence settings or somethign like that. This is where I'm struggling cause I cant work out how to to match it.

Video after In and Out points Changed

After opening up a video in the Viewer and setting In and Out points, and dragging it back to the Browser afterwards:
1. I tried changing the name of the clip that I dragged back to the Browser, though it changed the names of the other clips in the Browser to the same name. Why?
2. How come when you double-click on the new clip and it shows in the Viewer, it shows the In and Out points as well as the video from the original segment around it. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I thought it was supposed to just display the segment of video starting with the In point and ending with the End point.

1. do some reading in the manual. Might try making the clip independent.
2. Yes. I know it may seem weird, but it has some really powerful uses. Double click on a clip in the timeline, it loads in the viewer. You can then change your in and out points in the viewer and they will be reflected in the sequence. (with some limitations). If you want to "isolate" the material between an in and an out, check out "make subclip."
This is very basic fcp stuff. Skim the manuals, explore the menus, you'll figure this stuff out pretty quickly.

New problem/bug when I set in and out points on a clip. Unwanted automatic zoom in on clip timeline.

Playing clips to log and set in and out points for scenes I will use later. Something changed with the new update and I think it is a bug. When I hit the I and O keys to set in and out points on a clip before dragging to the sequence, it zooms in on the clip timeline. I cannot see the full clip time line unless I zoom out which is a pain to do time and time again. How do I get it back to the way it was before? It did not used to zoom in and out, it just marked your in and out point as it played leaving the clip timeline unchanged.
I am using windows 7 with Premiere Pro CC

Hi,
Thanks for your post. I think you are using Premiere pro CS6 as the Project option is included in the file menu and in the video there is an option of project available and visible. Please update your CS6 with the latest 6.0.5 update and the issue will be fixed. The link is provided below. Please update once issue is fixed.

Batch Capture Randomly Changes In and Out Points

I'm editing a documentary on Final Cut Pro 5.0.
Using a SONY DSR-11 firewire deck.
I logged sets of clips and then batch captured them. I DIDN'T select add handles in the batch capture tool. Some clips, as they're captured, change their in and out points. Sometimes by two frames early, sometimes by two frames late, and sometimes not at all. Several clips even stopped captured with an out point twenty seconds earlier than what I'd logged. The result is that I have clips with media start and media end points that are not in what I wanted. There seems to be no rhyme or reason whatsoever to this.
Any ideas what's going on?
Many Thanks if you do!

Check to see if your tapes have NDF time code.
If you play a tape with NDF TC using Log & Capture, the current time display will defaut to DF until the tape palys forward long enough for the current time field to update. It is posible to log NDF tapes as DF, in which case the timecode values can be incorrectly re-converted if recapturing.
Also, If you initiate a batch capture from the browser, FCP will default to DF, and not be able to update the TC format to NDF duriing the batch. The workaround here has been to cue up NDF tapes with L&C, and start the batch capture while L&C is still open and showing NDF TC.
However, upon upgrading to FCP5 last year, I found that even observing all these precautions and steps, FCP would still shorten the out point of my captured clips on NDF tapes. I was capturing a feature film that came from the UK, and so the starting time on the master was 10 hours instead of 1 hour. When the DF/NDF error occurred and shortened the out point of my 2-hour clip, it did it by several minutes instead of several seconds, because of the starting TC on the tape. In that case, I wound up adding several minutes to my out point and recapturing the end over again.
I haven't experienced this issue lately, but it comes up every now and then.
