Copy clip from timeline to Project folder

I've synced a video clip to an audio clip that was recorded separately, and linked them. How do I save this combo? Dragging it back to the project folder only copied the audio track. Help please!

That's correct: nesting is the "official" term for it. You can either pre-build your sequences, and then drop them into your final sequences like clips, or you can drop your constituent clips into the final sequence, select them, and then use the Nest command. The final result is the same, but if I'm doing something like you're doing, I'll typically use the former approach; I don't like how Premiere defaults to calling any sequence created through the Nest command something like "Nested Sequence 34." I'm a little too AR to deal with that If I prebuild my sync sequences, I can name them as I see fit and it's much easier to track the footage. You can even drop one of your clips on the New Item icon and have a sequence created that matches its settings and is named the same as the original clip. There are several ways to skin the proverbial cat here.
Once I have a sequence that consists of 4 video and one audio clip, how do I splice it and dice so that I use only portions of it where needed (the same way I would as if the sequence were a clip)? Remember that only one video clip can be linked to the audio clip (right?).
You can either drop it into your destination sequence and trim it up there, or if you hold down the Control key, if you double-click one of your sequences it will load up in the Source Monitor like a clip. You can also just drag the sequence item to the Source Monitor. From there, edit it into your final sequence as any other clip.

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

A video clip import for a new project keeps showing up as a clip from an older project.

So here's the issue, I succesfully imported and trimmed 95% of the video clips from my GoPro today. However, when I upload the piece de resistance, it shows up as a clip from an older project that I've already deleted. Despite showing me the older clip in the imported section, I can still play approximately 1/3 of the actual, new clip. Problem is it stops and doesn't allow me to work with the remaining footage. I've tried importing it straight from the SD card, copying it to the desktop first, etc. No luck. Any advice?

So, it's Photoshop CS3.
Anyway, from what I understood, you open the photo directly form the disk in Photoshop. That is, you don't use Lightroom to open the photo in Photoshop. It just doesn't work this way. As I said above, Lightroom has no way of knowing when to import a photo that has been saved in Photoshop.
If you insist on using Jpegs for derivative files, your best way to go is indeed using Synchronize.
However, I'd advice to use a lossless format, like TIFF or PSD. Why leave image quality on the table (as Jeff Schewe likes to say)? Storage is cheap and you're editing only your best photos in Photoshop anyway.
And as an additional benefit, you can automate the process of importing derivatives:
Configure what file type to use in Prefs: TIFF or PSD, bit depth, color space etc.
Select an image in Lightroom and hit Ctrl+E.
The derivative file is created in the chosen format and opened in Photoshop.
Edit and save in Photoshop.
Voila! Your edited derivative is already in Lightroom.

Problem with importing a clip from another iMovie project

Hello
I want to import a clip from one iMovie project to another iMovie project.
Both projects are in 16:9, but when I import a clip it's no longer in 16:9.
The clip is croped and I have a black bar on the right and left side.
How can I solve this ?

Have you tried Copying the clip in Project A and Pasting it into Project B?
When you Copy and Paste clips, try to Copy and Paste all at the same time. More here:

Move clips from timeline to event sub folder?

Aloha,
Is there a way to move clips in the timeline that I have cleaned into a sub folder in an event library?
I come from a non FCP background and still trying to wrap my mind/workflow around the FCP formula. Generally I clean clips and drop "some" into a "to be used later" folder.
Example - While on location I might shoot some location shots while im waiting around. The locations shots will use in the last 3 mintues of a 25 minute finished project. When I get to post I edit and clean all clips in the order they are received. When I find the location clips I simply move them to a folder labled "to be used later". When I get to the section of the project/timeline were the clips are needed I drag them or the entire folder into the timeline.
I see how to make a folder inside an event but I am not able to drag a clips from the timeline to this created folder. I have tryied to hold down Shift, CMD, OPT, CTRL and have no sucess.
Thanks you for your time and help.

Aloha Fox,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I feel you really understood my concern and gave me some good viable options.
There is a lot for me to learn and unlearn. I have been editing for over 16 years and most of that time I was using Edius. This is big paradigm shift coming to the Mac and FCPX.
The idea for me is to edit the video and move the "to be used later clips" into a bin/folder instead of moving them to the location in the timeline were they will be used at that very moment. Its just a preference, I know plenty folks would just move the clip to the location. Edit software is just a tool I have to decide if FCPX is the right tool for me.
Thank you again Fox for your time and understanding of my question.
Be blessed,
Frederick

Copy/paste clips from a library/project to another copying media on the new library

I want to copy/paste some clips from a project timeline to another but COPYING MEDIA also on the second library/project. How can I do?

I'm in the project "Anima mia" (which is together with an event in a library: all with the same name "Anima mia"). I want to pick up FROM THE TIMELINE some audio clips (which are the edited part of bigger clips placed in the browser) and some video clips (which are the edited part of bigger clips placed in the browser) and copy them on a new Project called "Riferimento" (which is with an event inside a library: all with the same name "Riferimento"), and I want to copy also the concerning original files to the new library. But I can't, infact if I copy/paste these clips in the new project/library I get this
I'd like to choose if leaving the original media in the source library or if phisical copying them to the new library. But it doesn't seems possible here....
Is it clear?

How do I copy clips from one project into another?

Ok, I have gathers a bunch of clips from various events to forma project. Now I want to rearrange everything in a new project. Can I somehow get my first project to act like an event? That way I can grab the clips into a new project window... Thanks

If I understand what you are trying to do, you do not need to "get my first project to act like an event". Merely drag the same clips you used in your first project from their original event location(s) into the new project. Then reorder or re-edit the clips as desired. There is no need to make them into a "dummy" project first.
If you want to have EVERY (or almost every) clip in both the first and new projects, with the second merely being reordered or re-edited, use the *File > Duplicate Project* menu command. Then go to work on the newly duplicated copy of the project. You can rename the duplicated project as desired and reorder, edit, or delete the clips in the duplicated project without dragging them from any event.

Replacing a clip with a copied clip from the storyline?

I am making a music video. The chorus repeats itself 3 times. I worked on a clip in the storyline at the first time the chorus appeared ("desired first clip") and used placeholders in the storyline for the chorus for the next 2 times. I then used Command+C to copy the desired first clip but am having trouble using the desired first clip to replace the placeholders for the subsequent placeholder clips. When I place the desired first clip over the placeholder clip it just squeezes in, keeping the placeholder clip. I guess, if necessary, I can redrag the clip used from the project folder and replace the placeholder clip and then use the attributes of the desired first clip to modify it, but that seems like a lot of trouble for simply replacing the placeholder clip with the desired first clip. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the desired clip in the primary or connected? If the primary, copy it and paste as connected. Then use Opt-Cmd-down arrow to collapse into the primary.

How do I sync the "view size" when I copy clips from one sequence to another in FCE4?

My idea was to edit an advanced clip in a separate sequence (bad idea) and then copy it into the main sequence, but I ran into an obstacle.
For a clip to fit the window in Sequence 1 it is shown at 44%, while in sequence 2 it is enough with 22%. Problem is, when I copy a clip from sequence 2 to 1, it appears twice the size. How can I adjust this? The clip from sequence 2 becomes disproportionately big on the screen when copied to sequence 1.
Thank you for taking your time.

As Studio X pointed out, you open a huge can of worms when you work with sequences of different specifications, but try this -
once the clip has been pasted into the sequence, click on it on the timeline so that it is selected. Now Control-click on that clip, and from the drop down menu, choose Remove Attributes.
When the remove attributes pane opens, check the box for Basic Motion and Distort (if they are not grayed out) and click OK. This should reset the clip size.
If this is successful, you can do this to multiple clips all at once by selecting them, then clicking on any one of the selected clips and doing the above.

Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

Deleting clip from Timeline does not throw off sync

My editor just discovered when she deletes a clip from the Timeline, with locked audio tracks, the clips are not flagged as out of sync...the red out-of-ssync indicators do not appear.
I took the sequence in question and copy/pasted it into a new sequence. Interestingly there were a few out of sync clips with red indicators although the source sequence had no such red indicators. I then ripple deleted a clip from the head of the sequence and all of the red indicators disappeared from the Timeline.
If I ripple delete a clip further down the Timeline, only the red indicators after that point disappear.
This is under FCP 6.04.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks for your help.

are the audio and video clips "unlinked?" not sure if that would make a difference, but worth a look see.
Might try deleting preferences.

Quality issue when moving clips from events to project

When I drags clips or parts of clips from events to my project, the quality drops significantly (blocking).
Original clip (H264 encoded SD video) is fine, when imported into imovie it is still fine when skimmed/viewed in the event but as soon as draged into the project, the quality is bad (when skimmed/viewed in the project) and blocking occurs, especially in dark parts of the video. Of course this bad quality remains on the exported video :-(((
Any idea where this might come from and how to overcome it ?
Thx for your support

Apologies for bumping this again, but I'm getting the same issue and I'm wondering if it's the original HD files that are incompatible in imovie. It's odd that only a few of us are reporting it.
I'm capturing HD video in mov format (motion jpeg) from a panasonic FZ5 still camera. The footage has been imported via iphoto. It's 30fps - not the native uk frame rate - but I can't change this on the camara. When I edit in imovie, I get the same massive drop in quality as soon as I move an event to the timeline. Blocking especially on blocks of colour. This happens on playback from the timeline within imovie and on export. I've tried creating a project in both pal format and ntsc in case the frame rate is the issue. No joy. In Final cut the problem seems not to exist, but I'd prefer to manage these very simple home movies in imovie.
I'm now wondering whether to switch to a different still camera like the newer panasonics or sony hx5 as these capture in avchd (presumably 25/50 fps if sold in uk) and might get over the problem. any thoughts?

Cannot playback clips from timeline

Problem: in iMovie HD5, I can only see a white screen when I click on the video clips in the timeline of my iMovie projects. At first the marker moved across the screen with no picture and no sound, but now I can't even get the marker to move across. Basically nothing happens when I click on a clip from the timeline now. Tried several projects and same thing. However, I CAN play and view the clips from the clip section that's to the RIGHT of the screen. Has anyone encountered this before?
So far, I've tried restarting my computer, throwing away the iMovie.plst file in my Library, in movie preferences changing the quality of the playback. I also have about 100 gb of space on my harddrive, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks!

Hi, sorry I've been on vaca. and away from the internet...
Hope you got the problem solved, but if you're still having it...I just copies and pasted this message I sent when I was able to resolve the problem:
-Hi Bengt,
Well, this morning I went through older iMovie projects and found that they worked fine. So I went back to the more recent ones where I was having the problem. It was strange, the pointer on the screen would scroll across as if it were playing, but again, blank screen and no sound. I tried different settings in imovie preferences but had no luck.
Then, on one movie I made a small change- I deleted a transition, closed and saved the project, and then when I reopened it it worked fine. So I did this with the rest of the lot and they all seem to be working normally again! Go figure!
So essentially - I went in to the project that was having the problem and made a minor change. Saved it, reopened it and then it was back to normal.
Also, when wierd things happen I like to shut down my computer and then turn it back on... I'm not technical, but I've had a lot of luck with that when programs are acting quirky.
Cheers,
Lisette
