Copy and paste clips to anamorphic sequence...having trouble

I captured all my broll DV/DVCPRO NTSC Anamorphic. I started editing on a sequence that was not checked for anamorphic under Sequence Settings.
In order to fix this, I created a new sequence with the anamorphic box checked and copied all of my edits from the previous sequence. Now it seems like the anamorphic has been applied twice, like it seems widescreen twice over.
I was wondering if it were possible to copy my edits from the wrong sequence and paste them into the sequence with right settings, while keeping the correct anamorphic view. If not, then it seems I would have to redo all my edits on the correct sequence.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Jeff, when you copied and pasted your edits then those clips retained all previously applied settings, filters etc, including those distortions automatically applied by FCP that made your anamorphic clips display properly in the older non-anamorphic sequence .. what you need to do is to remove those distortions:
Select all the clips in the new timeline (Cmd-A) then invoke the Remove Attributes dialog (Cmd-Opt-V) and put a tick in the Distort checkbox, then click OK.
That should do it ... although if you did any intentional distortions then those will have to be redone as they will be removed along with the automatic anamorphic distortion.
Cheers

  • Premiere Pro CC(2014) crashing when copying and pasting clips

    Has anyone found Premiere to hang when copy and pasting clips from one sequence to another, or even within the same sequence.
    Sometimes, it hangs then comes back to life.  Other time I just have to force quit.
    Thanks

    I don't recall reports of such a problem. We'll need more info to attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Start with the prompts on this page: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum? Especially the details on your computer.
    Also, please report the following:
    the types of content in your sequence, particularly in segments you're pasting. The source(s) of the content, the codec(s), the duration of copied segments?
    where the content is stored?
    whether either sequence was imported from a third-party program via XML or the like?
    the sequence settings of both sequences?
    what effects & transitions are in use, particularly in the segments you're pasting?
    what is resource usage before and during the copy/paste operation? Is a CPU getting pegged? Does memory usage spike precipitously?

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • Copy and Paste Clips within iMovie

    Using iMovie 11.  I have football games that I edit and bookmark.  I also save clips from each game for a season highlight video.  I can copy the clips from a game project and paste to the highlight project.  I am unable to paste clips to the highlight event.  I want to delete each game from the project library as I finish it, but don't want to delete the source video for the highlight project.  Thanks!

  • Copy and paste clips in different tracks

    Hi everyone!
    Since i upgrade from premiere pro to CS4, some easy stuff like copying and pasting my clip from one track to another one does't work.
    When a select a clip in my timeline then i hit CTRL+C then i select another video track and hit CTRL+V instead of copying the clip in the selected video track, it just copy it back in the same track it was before.
    I know, it's not such a big deal but i fouded it really useful so if anyone know how to do that it would really help me out.
    Thanx a lot for all your response
    gen

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for you'r answer.
    Like as you said, i've been targeting the track and only one track at a time but i'll start by downloading the update 4.1 and see what happen. I'll let you guys know it it fix my problem.
    Thanx again,

  • Copy and Paste section of a sequence...

    Is it possible to copy a section of a sequence, including all tracks, transitions, and effects contained therein, and paste it into another sequence? In other words, perhaps by setting IN and OUT points in the Program Monitor, copying that area, and pasting to another sequence. Including all tracks and effects contained therein.

    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the
    Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly show you how things are done in PPro.

  • Copy and paste clips from one project to another

    i have made highlight film of my kids playing sports over the months. i would like to make one that had bits and pieces of all the previous. how do i see all the frames like you can in the events section?

    Hi
    NO ! - and when iMovie moved from the 1 to HD6 series (in last versions this worked greatly) - to iMovie'08 or 09 or 11
    This basic and very vital function was lost (among lot's of Important functions)
    There is a cumbersome way around (most probably more than one way to do it - this is mine)
    • Duplicate the project with needed clips (ctrl-click on its title in Project Library list)
    • In Copy - Delete what You don't need
    • Share it as a full Quality QuickTime .mov
    • Import this into Your New Project
    Cons: Effects and texts and so on can not be further edited as the clip-movie is flatted to one piece - If You need to do this I suggest You to re-build from scratch.

  • Copy and pasting between Sequences

    I edited a 3-camera HDV mulitcam project. It was perfect. No problems.
    I created a second sequence in the same project. I copied and pasted part of the Sequence One Timeline into the Sequence Two Timeline.
    The video in Sequence Two does not look as good. Why?
    It's the same video. Why the difference? Will the quality also be diminished after exporting to DVD and/or YouTube?

    Please give the exact item properties of the clips you're editing and the exact item properties of the sequence in which you're editing. Select a clip in the Browser and press Cmd-9 or Edit>Item Properties>Format. Select a sequence in the Browser and repeat.   

  • Copy and paste from one timeline to another results in audio problem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a showreel by copying and pasting segments of edited sequences from the original timeline into a new 'showreel' timeline (in a separate project).
    I keep having a problem with the audio when I paste the sequence. Dialogue seems to repeat, even though on the timeline the video and audio lines appear exactly the same as they do in the original timeline. I've tried to copy and paste the individual audio clips separately but it still seems to cause the same problem.
    I've searched the discussion boards but can't seem to find any threads describing a similar problem.
    If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful.
    Thanks..

  • (CS4) Copy and paste video/sound into another project, sound won't export

    Hello Adobe community
    I am working on a TV show for a community television network in Australia.  I created the opening credits in a seperate project to the edited footage of the show, because my computer is struggling with the size of all the files. So I have two project files. Recently I copied and pasted the edited footage of the show into the project where I have the opening credits (by highlighting all the footage, right clicking and going to copy, then opening the Project with the credits sequence, right clicking and selecting paste). This seems to work. I can hear the sound and continue tweaking and editing. However, when I  export the project, the sound from the footage I have copied into the project can't be heard. I can hear the sound from the credit sequence, but not the sound that has been copied into the project (although on the timeline of the project, I can hear the sound... This problem only presents itself after export).
    I have tried doing the opposite... Copying and pasting the opening credit sequence into the project with the edited footage, and I get the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter which file type I export as. I have tried .AVI and .MPEG2, with the same results.
    I am using Windows 7 64bit version, and Premiere CS4. I have a mixture of .MTS, .WAV and .MP3 audio files in the footage that I copy and paste across. None of them are exporting.
    I have tried moving the copied and pasted audio files on to the same audio tracks as the sound already in the project, but this doesn't work either. The original sound will export, then when it gets to the copied and pasted sound nothing can be heard.
    I have included some screen shots to illustrate the problem below. If you have any questions please let me know.
    Thanks for your time! I have a looming deadline so your help is much appreciated.
    -Robert

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Sounds like cut and paste is not an option. Wow, I didn't realise how much trouble I'd be causing for myself by having different parts of the show in different projects.
    I am reluctant to export the project then import it into another project, because I do not want to lose quality through compression as Ann suggests.I don't know what you  mean, Ann, when you say "Dont think CS4 could import single sequence (forgot)."? Jim, I'm also unsure what you mean when you say "That's what UT is for"?
    However, I went to File/Import/Import Entire Project, and imported the project this way. Then I dragged the little folder icon that appeared in the top left hand corner of the screen onto the timeline. However, when I did this, a few problems occured. Firstly, the original project had footage and audio on many different tracks, but when I imported the project nearly all of the video and audio was on to the one track. Secondly, instead of going for 10 minutes, the imported footage went for a few hours. Thirdly, the sound and images were all out of sync. I have included two images to illustrate this problem:
    Above is the original project. As you can see, I have audio and video on many different tracks, and lots of cuts.
    This is what the project looked like after I had imported it into another project. Nearly everything is on one track, the footage goes for a few hours now (instead of 10 minutes) and the video and sound are all out of sink.
    Then I tried File/Import/Import Selected Sequence. The only sequence I had the option of importing was Sequence 1. I did this, then dragged the folder icon onto the timeline, and I had a similar problem to before. Everything on one track, footage out of sync and going for a few hours.
    Is there a way to import a project and maintain all of the editing (the cuts, the multiple tracks, etc.) as they are in the original? I have spent many hours editing both the footage and the opening credits, so I really don't want to lose all this work when I import one into the other. The good thing about copy and paste is that it maintains all of the original cuts and editing. Shame it is so unreliable.
    Thanks heaps for all your help!

  • Copy and paste tracks precisely

    I'm trying to create a drum beat with my drum set about say, 2 minutes long, and I want to be able to copy and paste so that it is about 10 minutes long or more. Reason being so that I can improvise and play along to the beat for as long as I want. I don't want to have to play the beat by hand for 10 minutes to get a clip that long.
    Problem is I'm having trouble copying and pasting clips so that everything stays in time. I've been able to do this sort of thing with final cut in the past just by copy and pasting clips, and I'm wondering if this would be possible in garageband? Thanks.

    every measure needs to start and end EXACTLY on a measure marker
    that said, you're doing this the hard way.
    grab the top right corner of the region and drag right as long as you wish
    or better yet, just turn on the cycle region button and stretch the yellow bar to encompass your segment, it will play forever.

  • COPY AND PASTE FREEZE TRACKS

    Hey all, i usually make 8 or 16 bar loops before i copy and paste------->> out to create a song. i use alot of native instruments on some tracks. i can freeze those tracks for the 8 or 16 bar length, which i like to do because its a shorter time that freezing a track thats 60 bars long. so my question is how can i freeze 8 or 16 bars worth of music then copy and paste out the tracks for say 60 bars or so?

  • Copy and Paste inconsistencies

    I hope someone has some insight to this issue. I have been copying and pasting clips from one timeline to another. Problem is I want the clips I am pasting to show up on V2. I have V1 locked and V2 is enabled but when i paste, nothing appears. The workaround is to unlock V1, paste at the end of the sequence and then drag it to where I wanted to paste it to begin with.
    This seems to be an inconsistent issue though, but most of the time this is what I have to do. It's faster to match to clip and then edit in, but usually I am trying to paste multiple clips, which would involve many more steps to do the match method.
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, when copying it will always default to copy to the same layer it was on originally. You have to change the auto select to something else and then change it back to what you want and it will work. If you hold Option while clicking the Auto Select on a layer, it will toggle between selecting just that layer and all layers. So my method is to just Option click the Auto Select layer I need it to paste to TWICE and then it works.

  • Copy and paste between projects???

    Hello,
    iMovie '09 allows users to copy and paste clips between projects, but it do so with affecting quality. I mean is it the same as dragging clips from Events?
    NOTE: I won't be home to check this for a week and I'm trying to help a friend via e-mail. So any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    It does not affect quality. When you copy a clip from a project, you are copying a reference to certain frames in an event.

  • Cut and pasting clips to a new movie causes 15x file size increase!!

    I'm using 6.04 iMovie. I'm converting 8mm analog video via Canopus 300 into imovie. These movies were of an action sport and very few clips are over ten minutes when imported.
    I have 4 files(sourced from 4 tapes) from 22-28GB in imovie. I have edited these files, removing bad video, unwanted scenes and have added transitions and titles. The resulting files are each from 22-28Gb's in size.
    I then went to make a highlight video by copying and pasting clips from two of the movies. The resulting highlight movie exceeds 160Gb's I have two more movies to past clips from!
    I am aware of the "non-destructive" editing feature of Imovie. In the process of editing the individual movies and putting together the highlight movie I emptied trash frequently.
    My questions:
    1.) What is the best procedure to cut and paste clips from movies to make a highlight movie?
    2.) What can i do with my highlight video to get the size back down to around 15 Gb's? (I've only used about 25% of each of the two first tapes in the highlight video)
    Thanks

    Hello, Scott,
    iMovie moves clips to the trash that you have deleted.....if you are not using any part of that clip. If you are using any part of it, the parts you crop out, 'delete,' will be removed from your movie, but not put into trash and not removed from iMovie's project file. If you use 10 seconds of a 30 second clip, for example, but later decide that you really need to have more than the 10 seconds, say you need 15 seconds, all you have to do is go click on that 10 second clip in your movie and then go to 'Advanced' and select 'Revert clip to original' and iMovie will put back the entire clip for you to re-crop.
    It is not exactly the same for still photos. If you are using still photos with the Ken Burns effect, emptying the trash will remove the photo's 'clip' and you will not be able to redo the KB effect if you decide to change it. Leaving the trash alone will permit iMovie to retrieve the photo so that you can make those edits. Some of us never empty the trash in iMovie.
    When you export as Full quality Quick Time, you are getting just that.....Full Quality, no changes from the original. Your movie is not being compressed, it is shortened because you are saving only the clips that are actually used in the movie, not all the rest. Nothing is lost in quality and you can edit as usual, except for the ability to retrieve any clips that are not in the movie. You will not be able to use the 'Revert clip to original,' now because you have a new set of 'originals.'
    So, when you export to quicktime, be sure that you are completely finished with the cropping of your clips and that you will not need to add anything that you previously deleted. I export to quicktime and then open a new iMovie and import the new qt movie into that. Once you see that it plays properly, you can delete the first iMovie and just work with this one. However, it will come in as one large clip, with audio and video incorporated into one track. You will not be able to re-edit titles and effects. (Well, you CAN do it a bit, but it is tricky and you will lose some footage).
    I actually make a quicktime version of almost all of my iMovies. I find that this process eliminates any jerkiness or stuttering of my longer movies. I edit the original iMovie by cropping clips, adding photos, putting in titles and transitions. I then add audio last, usually first some short audio clips to go with some of the photos, and then I add background music last. I usually export to quicktime during the adding music part, whenever iMovie starts playing back in a stuttering way. The new quicktime movie is smooth and I can finish my music additions easily.
    Apparently, the latest version of quicktime is much better for the jerkiness problem, but I have been hesitant to upgrade since I am in the midst of doing about 4 iMovies.
    Good luck with your project!
