Copy and paste shifts timeline

I am editing 2 sequences, one is now complete. I wasnt to repurpose some of the media for a second project by cutting out segments from the original. SO, I make a new sequence and confirm all ofthe sequence settings are identical. When I select all, copy and paste the original sequence into the second, the audio and video clips shift so they are no longer aligned. If I select the entire sequnce in the original and nest it and then open the nested sequence into a new tab, the alignment is correct. Am I missing something when I copy and paste?

Sounds like you are copying from a sequence with one timebase (29.97) and pasting into another (23.98). That will cause gaps like this. Or 23.98 to 29.97 will too. Any change in the editing timebase (frame rate), and this happens.

  • Copying and pasting between timelines

    Hello.
    When I edit, I often work on a specific scene in a timeline that is not my primary timeline that I will finalize. After I like the specific scene, I will select all, copy, and then paste (or paste insert) it into the primary timeline that will be the rough or final cut of the movie. I have done this many times with no problems. Today, however, when I paste the footage from one timeline into the primary timeline, it is quite out of sync and contains other problems. For example, the audio and video do not match at the beginning, but there is no indication in the timeline that this should or would be the case. Also, while all of the video survived the move, some of the audio was lost, or shifted on the timeline altogether. Basically, the entire pasted portion is really messed up. What am I doing wrong? I noted I have done this before, but perhaps I should also note that it has been done with fairly small sequences -- 20 minutes or less. My current primary sequence is 50 minutes and the sequence I was attempting to paste into it was 5 minutes. Thank you in advance.

    There is no easy setup for ALL. The easy setup is set by the Use popup. If you have all selected you get the complete list of available presets. This is what you see.
    The two popups at the top Format and Rate (frame rate) only serve to limit the selections that appear in the Use popup. If you don't select the correct option in the Use popup you will get the wrong preset. If you only want to have HD 29.97 options available in the Use pop, select HD in Format and 29.97 in Rate. If you select those then this is what you see in the Use popup.

  • 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..

    Shift-drag.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste folders -- to a new point in timeline?

    I have a flash file with various folders.  Using Flash 8 (but could import it into CS4 if absolutely necessary)
    I have a folder in the fla movie which contains various elements.
    I would like to copy  that folder and paste it into another position on the timeline.  (I will swap out some of the contents of the folder after I copy and paste it.
    However I don't see a way (at least in Flash 8) to copy and paste a folder.  Is it possible?  Is it possible in CS4? 
    Thanks

    no, but you can shift-click and drag to copy all the layers and frames that you want.  you can them paste the copied layers and frames wherever you like and then add those layers to a folder.

  • How do I select an area on a clip in a timeline and copy and paste it ..

    How do I select an area of a clip in the timeline and copy and paste the video track only, several times on the tracks just above it?
    Thank You in Advance,
    Sebastian

    Select the range selection tool (ggg is the keyboard shortcut), then drag through the clip to select the area you want to copy then paste... it will paste only what's selected.

  • 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

    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 this?

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

  • How can I copy and paste a clip already in my timeline

    Here is my problem I am attempting to copy and paste a video clip from video 1 to video 2 and it will not let me do it.  I am using several effects to create a moving face block and it calls for an exact copy of the section with faces to be blocked.  I have been working for 2 hours trial and error and everytime I copy and paste in video 1 it moves the next clip or the entire timeline over and I cannot get it back to where it was without unsyncing my titles and music tracks.  Thankfully it has the Udno feature but Is there any way I can copy and paste a clip in the beginning of my timeline without distorting the entire video by doing so?

    Copy your clip, use the End key to go to the end of the timeline. Paste then drag to Video2. When it is over the original clip it will 'snap' into place for you.

  • Is there a way to copy and paste the same changes in keyframes along the timeline?

    Hi,
    I was doing an effect (changing the parameters in keyframe editor) and I wanted to do the same effect in specific moments on the timeline. Is it possible to copy and paste the same effect on the keyframe editor?
    Thanks

    Following on from GFXZen, as well as repeating a series of keyframes as a regular pattern, if you need to move some of the repeats a little (to match moments in a soundtrack), use the Generate Keyframes command. That turns the extrapolated curves into editable and moveable keyframes.
    There's more on information on keyframe extrapolation and generating keyframes at the bottom of this page from the Motion help system.
    Check out the help information on the Transform Keyframes tool - you can use this to transform the keyframes of many parameters at the same time. Similar to using the option key when dragging keyframes in Adobe After Effects.

  • Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

    Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
    1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
    2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
    3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
    4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
    5. Copy the highlighted parts.
    6. Copy into Clipmate:
    6.1 Edit > Capture Special
    6.2 Check both items in the list
    6.3 OK
    7. Close PE without saving.
    8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
    9. Open destination project in PE.
    10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
    10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
    10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
    11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
    12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
    13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
    14. Tell PE where the files are.
    15. Save project.

    When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
    Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
    My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

  • HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup.  I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out.  I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it.  All I need are my contact

    Sorry for short novel I am writing.  I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
    So, here it goes.  I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie.  The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty.  A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup.  The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie.  I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore.  So I attempted another restore.  All was well at this point.  I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source.  A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer.  I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes.  Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh).  Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck.  The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine).  We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive.  Ok, this is where it gets weird.  We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files.  Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought.  The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders.  When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored).  This left tech support and I both scratching our heads.  My service issue was escalated to the next level.  I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through.  As usual, apple disappoints again.  I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s.  I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files.  Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

  • Copy and Paste not working properly in MLion

    A week or so ago I purchased and installed the upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X. Whenever I try to copy large number of files from one folder to onother in my desktop, the copy and paste process does not.
    Copy/Paste of a few files works, different from  the previous OS system but works. However, if I copy 3000 files or more then the computer slows down significantly or freezes. The little colorful spinning wheel replaces the cursor arrow and cannot use anything else in the computer. I need to abort the finder (op+com+esc) to stop the process. While copying large number of files the copy status bar never appears to show the copying process. I was used to see the copy status window with information about the number of files, their size, time remaining and the little bar in the middle growing from left to right as the copy process continued. None of this happens with MLion.
    I called Apple for service. I spent hrs with their customer service people on the phone who suggested a number of things that we implemented to try to correct the problem. Nothing worked! Finally they asked me to reinstall MLion and so I did. The problem was not fixed. They asked me turn on, off, unplug the computer, etc. and nothing fixed the problem.
    In sum I just want my old OS system that used to work fine. MLion is substandard, we do not want our money back we just want the computer to work as it used to so we can return to be productive again. Any suggestion on how to reinstall SLeopard without having to reinstall every single piece of software in the computer?  Thanks.

    I am actually CUTTING and Pasting (CMD+C, CMD-OPTION-V) and Finder gets stuck either with the keyboard or dragging (Holding CMD to Move the Files)
    I was downloading Midi files from a reliable website that I've using for years www.vgmusic.com. I was using Safari, so I downloaded Midi soundfiles from a particular videogame using the ALT key to speed things up. Say I downloaded 120 small (10-100KB ) files. I SHIFT selected them from the Downloads Folder and then I dragged them with CMD to place them in my 500GB (the non-system) partition. It got stuck. File is being used, was the message given.
    So I thought it was Safari-related, so I switched to Firefox and downloaded another batch and dragged them to my Midi folder on the 500GB. Same thing. I've restarted and quit all open programs. I thought it was an external drive that was hogging access, so I unplugged all my external HDDs (320GB FAT32, 1GB NTFS, 3GB HFS+).
    I also thought that VLC was the culprit so I reinstalled it and erased the preferences. Now it is not running.
    Now I have some greyed-out files that are zero-kilobytes in the destination folder.
    Let's say I try to move the first one "pkrs_petersburg.mid" and "pokecenter.mid" , this appears,
    A message saying "preparing to move to "PokemonRSE" "preparing to move 2 files". Come on, I would expect to see this if the files were large, these are 23KB and 9KB!!
    The message is in French and it means "It's not possible to move the file "pokecenter.mid" right now because it is being used by another task, such as the copying or moving of a file or the emptying of the Trash. Try again once the task is finished.
    The other message (from a previous attempt) is "It is not possible to place all selected files in the same place: at least one of them, named "pokecenter.mid" is being used."
    I already emptied out my Trash!

  • How do I copy and paste multiple keyframes?

    I've used previous versions of Final Cut in the past, but primarily have done my editing with Adobe Premiere.  One of the companies I am freelancing for only has Final Cut X on their machines.  I'm a bit confused about keyframes.  Keyframing in the inspector seems severely limited.  I could use some help.
    Basic example:  Say I want to zoom and pan into an image... then have it sit there for 5 seconds... then zoom and pan back to its original location.  I can't figure out how to do this at all with Final Cut X. 
    In Premiere I would accomplish this extremely easily.  
    #1 I'd set my playhead at the location I'd like START my zoom IN/pans and set all my necessary keyframes.
    #2  Then i move my playhead to where I'd like to END my zoom IN/pans, change all my parameters and this sets my necessary keyframes.
    #3  I move my playhead further to where I'd like to START my zoom OUT/pans to where it originally was... and set all my necessary keyframes
    #4 I move my playhead to where I'd like END my zoom OUT/pans to where it originally was... and simply copy and paste my keyframes from step 1...
    The reason why I copy and paste my keyframes from step 1 is because often my parameters are very specific.  I'm not necessary zoomed in 100% at the beginning with my position set exactly where it needs to be.  Say, for instance, I'm working with an image that is zoomed at 75% and perfectly positioned at some random position somewhere in my frame... without the ability to cut and paste keyframes, I'd have to go back to keyframe 1 and write down all the parameters... then go to keyframe 4 and re-enter them.  Massive pain in the butt.
    How is this properly accomplished in Final Cut X?  I can't even see my keyframes on the timeline... every tutorial I've found just says "set keyframe 1 and keyframe 2 in the inspector" and that's incredibly limiting.

    That is kind of a bummer, really.  Maybe I'll need to adjust my workflow, but it seems like it's a MASSIVE drawback of Final Cut X. 
    For example:
    Say I have an image on the screen at with Postion X: 97.3px and Position Y:  -69.3px  with the zoom set to 136.3%... (keyframe 1)
    And say I want to move that image across the screen to Postion X:  32.5px and Position Y: -23.5px with a zoom set to 85.3% ... (keyframe 2)
    Then say I want to let it stay in that position for 10 seconds ... after 10 seconds I'll set more keyframes by clicking the appropriate keyframe buttons and the settings will once again be set for Postion X:  32.5px and Position Y: -23.5px with a zoom set to 85.3% ... (keyframe 3)
    Now say I want it to go back to the original position and zoom.   In premiere I'd just highlight all my keyframes from Keyframe 1 and paste at the new location of the playhead... with Final Cut X, i'll need to go back to Keyframe 1 and literally write down on a piece of paper:  97.3, -69.3, 136.3% ... then go back to Keyframe 4 and type them all out.   This is just a simple example, though.   The more individual parameters I'm setting at specific points... the bigger pain this will be.   Lame. 
    Even with the link you shared... it appears to be completely amature compared to the keyframe editing capabilities of Premiere Pro.  In searching a bit on google to confirm the lack of features, I found someone else complaining:  
    "You cannot expand any parameter that has more than one attribute (like crop or scale or position) - making it useless.
    You cannot add bezier handles to keyframes
    You cannot copy and paste keyframes
    When you copy and paste attributes, you have no choices as to how they will be pasted, etc... it is dismal.
    All in all, it is a step backwards from FCP"
    Personally, I'm a bit surprised... the more I learn about Final Cut X, the more I am starting to like it.  I know a lot of professionals hated it when it initially came out, but I chaulked it up to unfamiliarity with the new software.   For me, this keyframing thing is by far the biggest drawback I've found to yet.
