Copy clip. Edit copied clip w/o changing original

This should be easy....but I'm having trouble.
I want to take a clip (in this case a title) and copy it. I can do this part.
I then want to change the copied clip (ie change text) but without changing the original clip. Everytime I change the copied clip, the original changes also.
Thanks

It sounds like you're talking about making a duplicate of a title.
To do this, right-click on the title in the project media panel and select duplicate. Then you can change each title separately.
If you use copy and paste, you merely clone the title and, if you change one, both change.
(Just one of the many tips in new book on Premiere Elements 7, by the way! ;) )

Edit photo in album without changing original

In iPhoto '08, it seems like any photo that I edit in an album also edits the original. This is why I stopped using one of the earlier versions of iPhoto. It seemed like this was fixed in iPhoto 6, so that iPhoto would automatically preserve the original and save the changes in a copy of the photo.
Is there a setting that can be changed in the preferences somewhere? If I'm working on two albums (i.e. one for each child) I often want to use the same photos but crop them differently, and I'd rather not have to remember to make a copy any time I do so.

No, all occurrences of a photo in the library other than in an event is just an alias of the original or the edited version. Change one and you change all.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

After PreRend. - Last frame of a clip is copied into the first 2 frames o. t. following clip

Hey Guys - Michi here,
and I am dealing with a horrible problem!
I just got rid of Premiere CS6 (Where I was dealing with the same problem) and got the new Version of Premiere. I really love it!
Heres the Problem I am dealing with:
Everytime i've finished a sequence i go to:
Sequence -> Render Section.
Then the Rendering Window pops up and PR CC does his job.
But when replaying the prerenderes section i noticed something.
I zoomed that much into timeline so i was able to see every frame of the clip - because the play back seemed kind of OffBeat to me. And the thing that happend to every clip that was directly laying beside another clip - so there was no space between them - was, that after the PreRendering Premiere CC (and CS6 DID THE SAME) copied the last frame of the clip into the frist two frames of the following clip - so the are reeeeally tiny "still" pictures between every transitions. -> And that means, that the clip that is shown in the "Program Window" - Monitor in which you can preview the PreRenderes Video - doesn't change to the beat I've edited it on, BUT it changes 2 frames later!!
Here are some screenshots:

http://up.picr.de/16781445al.jpg       Pic 5
In Pic. 1 you can see, that the Marker (the red thin bar) in the Timeline is laying on the last frame of the clip on the left - the clip is called GoPro2130.MP4 (120%).
If i move the marker now over the the first frame of the clip called GoPro2130 (114.99%) the preview should change - but there is still the frame that was shown in the preview window at Pic.1
Now i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic. 3) - The same frame that is shown in Pic. 1 & 2 is still on the preview window.
NOW i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic 4 - 3rd frame of the new clip) AND NOW the clip finally changes although the clip should have changed 3 frames before..
ITS HORRIBLE!! I really dont know what to do..
Sorry for the huge text and the bad english (Student from Germany).
You guys are my last hope.
Regards, Michi.

Thanks for your suggestion about using the clip markers.   I tried them on a test clip.   They did not come down to the timeline. Besides, I would want them labeled.   Right now all my clips have a marker that is labeled with the date and location.   The chapter markers are labeled the same way.   I have a spread sheet that list the dates of all the Chapter Markers which connect to the dates on the menu.     This seems like an old fashion way to do things for such a sophisticated software.   Maybe I should put in a feature suggestion to Adobe.   I would do that, but I am afraid that I may embarrass myself as being the only one that ever asked for something like that.   Or they would accuse me of misusing their software.
Again, thanks for your suggestion.

Can one copy Audio from one clip minus its video...to paste to another?

I'm working on a painting video...as an artist/teacher...and easily created a 3 minute trailer on YouTube using iMovie...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LXWxjjGkAg
I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 on my intel...and thought I'd best use this higher standard software for the making of my 90 minute DVD...but dang, its coming hard for me. Trying to make sense of the help manual. With iMovie it was nothing to copy an audio track, copy and paste elsewhere...but with FCE I can't seem to separate the audio of the track from one clip to copy and paste elsewhere without that video clip wanting to come along.
The original clip is me painting by a waterfalls..the original narrative voicing was weak, so I did a voice over with a mic and toneport tonight, now I want to paste in the sound of the falls behind copied from a clip where I did no speaking.
I have Soundtrack as well. Am I better off just putting my video clips together in FCE...then importing the whole thing to Soundtrack to edio audio? Seems audio with FCE is tough...well, for me anyway. Thanks

Hi -
In FCE, select the clip on the timeline that has the audio and video stuck together. Go to the menu Edit and toggle Linked Selection (the check mark will go away).
Now you should be able to copy and paste one without the other.
Hope this helps.

Copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie?? Please help!

Is it possible to copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie? I can't find a way to select/copy more than one.

OK you can leave them in iPhoto and access them from the iMovie Event for iPhoto.
If you prefer to move them to a regular iMovie Event, you can do the following.
1) right-click on one of the iPhoto clips and select "Reveal in Finder". This will open a finder window showing the clips in the iPhoto Library.
2) In a different Finder window, create a folder to hold your event in iMovie. If you are using an internal drive, create a folder using your desired Event Name under the Movies/iMovie Events Folder.
Note: If you are using an external drive, create a Folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the external drive. Then create the (Event Name) folder under this. The external drive must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled) for this to work.
3) Select all the clips in the iPhoto finder window that are part of this event and Move them to the Movies/iMovie Event/(Event Name) folder.
4) After you have done this for all the Events, open iMovie and let it generate thumbnails. This may take a while.

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.
Cheers,
Neale

How can I copy and paste a clip to duplicate it?

Like the title says, I want to copy and paste a clip so that it can be duplicated in the timeline.

Now, when one has added and adjusted Effects on a Clip, they can Copy those Effects & Attributes, then Paste those to other Clips, either individually, or to many, by Selecting all, where that/those Effect(s), and Adjustments are desired. That is a somewhat similar operation, but does not Copy the Clip - just the Effects and Adjustments made to it.
Good luck, and glad that you are able to Copy & Paste the desired Clip, into another spot on your Timeline.

Copy and paste cropped clip

I am cropping clips from one iMovie project to paste into another iMovie project. Every time I attempt to paste, I notice that it is pasting in the entire original clip, instead of just the cropped clip. So for instance the original clip is named Clip 1. The cropped clip is named Clip 1/1. When importing the cropped clip, the message is that it is importing Clip 1, not Clip 1/1. It is as if the cropped clip was never actually severed from the original clip.
How can resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Dithmarscher - that is the nature of 'non-destructive editing'. The original source clip is retained in its entirety. The workaround is to highlight the clip(s) you want to transfer and Share them to (Selected Clips Only) Full Quality QuickTime, then import that/those file(s) into the new project. That process removes the un-wanted material.
Depending on your requirement, you may need to process each clip individually.

Edit multiple clips

Hello
I want to edit multiple clips at once. For example, change the textcolor, or the line pitch of subtitels. Or change the sound volume of all sound clips in the timeline.
Is there a way to do this not one by one?
I have Final cut Pro 7.0.3.
cheers

Select the clip with the modifies attributes and copy (command c). Select any or all the clips that you want to adopt the attributes of the copied clip. Control click in one of the clips you're about to change. Choose Paste Attributes from the drop down menu and then check off the attributes you want them to adopt from the first clip. Hit OK and you should be good.

How to save an edited viceo clip in premier elements 11 to my organizer (windows 07)?

This is not Adobe. We are Premiere Elements users trying to help other Premiere Elements users with their Premiere Elements workflows. Under those conditions, only Adobe may have the opportunity to access your computer in troubleshooting session between you and them. You can use the following link to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat.

When the link opens, click on the statement "I still need help" to bring up Adobe Chat.
I have no idea if they will charge you a fee for the service ($40 US dollar/hour). It might not even help you (fee or no fee) because you do not have the latest version of Premiere Elements.
What you ask is easy enough. Let me try again with a step by step to see if we can get this working for you in principle and then fine tune the details.
1. Export your Timeline to a file, using Publish+Share/Computer and then one of the choices
Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, AVCHD, AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, Audio. I do not know what your project settings are, but I am going to guess at NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD1080i30. That would represent 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second.
The following is going to be a mini test run in principle so we will cut to the core and overlook some things.
Go to Publish + Share/Computer/AVCHD/ and set Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Note that there is a field for Save In: near where you set Presets. Set the Save In for Libraries/Documents not C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 11. Keep out of the Program Files for matters such as these.
Go to the Elements Organizer 12 File Menu/Get Photos and Videos/From Files and Folders and then browse to and select your MP4 file that you have saved in Libraries/Documents.
You now should have your video represented in the Elements Organizer 12 with a thumbnail.
Please let us know if that works for you. If not, then please let us know where you need supplemental help to get the task completed. I will re-write if necessary.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...A little side note for later...If you took your file saved to the computer hard drive and imported that back into Premiere Elements with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders, you would get
a. the file imported into a new project
but also
b. a copy of the file automatically placed in the Elements Organizer 12.
If the ideas seem overwhelming, please take the steps on one at a time and follow exactly what is written. You should do fine.

SoCal thanks for the attention,
sorry for having wrote the question directly in the subject, but first i wrote it by text edit then copied it, but in the wrong place too.....
coming to my question, timeline settings are:
as it is a commercial promo that must be projected in a multiplex cinema, the 2K format is needed.
I've heard about transcoding services, and they are very expensive.
so i'm looking if there is a way to do everything by fcp.
the project will be delivered as SD DVD for archive pourposes and as a single file for the projection or eventually transconding.
p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm from italy: had my last english lesson 35 years ago!

Multi Clip Editing Suddenly Stopped Working

I have a very strange situation and I wonder if anybody else has encountered this. I have a G5 running OS X 10.4.11. It's a 1.8GHz processor with 1.5 GB RAM. I have two 17" monitors connected to it: an older Apple Studio Display and a new Apple Cinema Display. I might add that this computer has been a completely reliable workhorse for me when it comes to Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. A recent upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2, however, left me unable to run Motion very effectively if at all. I was also unable to run any of the Noise Industry plugins that I really wanted to use. After seeking advice, I installed a Radeon X800XT graphics card. Visually I didn't notice any striking difference in the images on my screens, BUT I was able to run Motion in real time they way it's supposed to run AND the Noise Industry plugins that I downloaded to demo worked great.
At the same time I installed the graphics card I also decided to move a FC Pro project and all the related media off of an external LaCiie porsche drive (250GB) and onto my second internal drive (150GB). Prior to the move, I had been working on the project—a concert shot with four cameras—using multi clip editing without a single hitch.
All of a sudden, FC wouldn't even launch. Click on the icon — nothing. Neither would Soundtrack. All the other components of the Studio worked fine. So I removed ALL the Final Cut elements — and yes, I got them ALL. Re-installed the software and accompanying media. Same problem. So then I moved the previously mentioned FC project back on to the La Cie drive, did a clean install of the OS on my other internal drive, did all the appropriate upgrades, did a clean install of FC Studio on THAT drive and all the appropriate upgrades. This time FC (and Soundtrack) launch like they're supposed to — but when I go into my multi clip project and double click on the track in the timeline to "send" the 4-camera view to the the viewer, I consistently get the spinning beach ball of death.
I apologize for such a long preamble to my problem, but I wanted to convey as much information as possible. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before? I know the next step is probably to swap my old graphics card back in, but before I do that I wanted to see if the esteemed forum had any suggestions,
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John

bummer.
Moving multiclip projects from the desktop may have resulted in some sort of corruption dunno... Media manager might have done a better job of this, but I've never moved a project that had multiclips in it.
Only thing I can suggest is a rebuild of the timeline? Maybe just copy and paste it all to a new sequence and/or to a new project file?

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

Hello
How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it. Any advice appreciated.
Barra

Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

How to edit a clip in a multicam sequence (CS6)?

I am using Premiere CS6 on Mac, I have a multicam sequence set up (2 cam).
I just want to color correct cam 2 to match cam 1 and I cannot figure it out. Everything I try applies the correction to the entire sequence.
If someone can provide exact steps to apply color correction to one clip in the sequence only (it's just brightness/contract, nothing complicated), so that it's reflected in the multicam sequence I'd be grateful. Even a link to a tutorial would be good as I cannot seem to find it online (almost everything points to CC which I don't use and is totally different than CS6).
Please help!

Ok, I finally figured it out, no thanks to Adobe's crap "Help" system, which is missing MANY steps...
1. Right-click the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in the Project tab (NOT the multicam sequence you're editing). It's the one with the green/blue lines perfectly lined up.
2. Choose Open in Timeline.
3. In the Timeline, make the edits you want to the clip you want (in this case, Brightness/Contrast on clip 2)
4. Go to Window > Multi-Camera Monitor
5. You'll see your source clips stacked in the window, and you can fine tune from here.
6. Click on the Multi-Camera Sequence you're editing in the Timeline, and the Monitor should update to reflect your changes.
You can toggle back and forth between these sequences in the timeline, adjusting as you need.
This was incredibly easy for me to document, I really fail to understand why the Help file couldn't be bothered. It's completely missing things like what the difference is between the source multicam sequence and the program multicam sequence, how to edit a clip in your multicam sequence, and how the multicam monitor works. Really pisspoor documentation, but at this point, I don't expect anything else from Adobe.
