Copy clip you're deleting into clipboard

Hi. Sorry if this is a bonehead question. How do you delete a clip in such a way so that it gets copied to the clipboard and is available for pasting with command-v or shift-v? I've been copying using command-c, then deleting, then pasting. I swear I've seen editors copy and delete in one fell keyboard shortcut swoop.

Command X.

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.

I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx" couldn't be copied because you don't have permission to access "Messages"

I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx” couldn’t be copied because you don’t have permission to access “Messages”

Actually, the Finder solution did not work for me, but here's what did:
Quit Mail (for safety's sake).
Open Terminal (it's in Utilities folder usually, but since I updated to ML it's in a folder called Other for some reason)
Once Terminal is open, you'll want to login as ROOT. You do this as follows:
Type
sudo -i
Then hit Enter/Return. You'll be promoted for your system password. Hopefully you'll remember it. Enter your password then hit Enter/Return.
You'll then be at what's known as a root prompt.
At this point BE VERY CAREFUL. You have the ability at this point to completely destroy your machine beyond repair. Only type what I list below:
To find the folder that contains the email message you'll need to type the following:
find . -name "218130.emlx"
Hit Enter/Return
This will take a minute or two but what should appear in the list of other items that appear is something along the lines of the following (it won't be exactly this but will look LIKE this) I've replaced some personally identifying info:
./Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/ 0355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/23219.emlx
This line describes the location of the offending email. You know what to put yourself into this directory:
cd /Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/0 355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/
Hit Enter/Return
Notice, I left of the name of the actual email address. You'll need to be sure you type the location EXACTLY or this won't work. You want to be in the Messages folder. You'll know you're there because your Terminal prompt will look something like this:
Your Name - iMac:Messages
Then just to be sure you're in the right place, type
ls
Hit Enter/Return
You should then see something like this:
iMac:Messages root# ls
23013.emlx 23096.emlx 23100.emlx 23156.emlx 23210.emlx 23213.emlx 218130.emlx
You'll see the offending message. Now, you delete ONLY this message. Type:
rm -f 218130.emlx
That's RM at the start above. You'll need to type it in lower case. Be sure that's all you type.
Hit Enter/Return
You'll should be disappointed at the results because it will look like nothing happened. You can hit ls and Enter/Return one more time and the offending file should be gone.
EXIT TERMINAL. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING ELSE. DO NOT "POKE AROUND". THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO EXPLORE. SERIOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED FROM HERE. EXIT TERMINAL NOW.
Now re-open Mail - the message will still appear to be in there, but magically, you can delete it. you can also delete it from your Trash for good measure.

Is it possible to have media files copied to a new location as you import them into a project?

I have roughly 800gb of footage i've taken over the past 2 years of traveling, and I am making a single video montage... The files are located on an external drive, making them slower to work with. I have a 1tb ssd but not enough free space to copy all the files to it for sorting. What i want to do is have the files copy over to the SSD as i add them to the project, so that only the footage i'm going to use gets copied over to the SSD. The only way i can determine if i am going to use the footage or not is to scrub through and mark Ins and Outs in premiere...
So i guess my question, in the simplest terms i can ask is, Is there a setting in Premiere, like the project manager tool which allows you to consolidate used media files to one destination, but one that will consolidate files as you add them to the project? or could i do this manually by repeatedly using the project manager tool to consolidate files periodically?
Hope that makes sense...
Oh, and yes, i have considered other methods to my madness, like reviewing the footage outside of premiere before deciding if i will use it or not, frankly, i have over 4000 pieces of footage and it's just much faster to scrub through them in premiere than to open each one in vlc to review. It's also much more convenient to mark my ins and outs as i review the footage, so premiere is my only option.
Thanks!

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,

Iphoto creates copy in local drive, so you can delete originals, right?

new to mac and iphoto...
When you use iPhoto to import pics from a network drive, a copy of those pics is placed in pictures/iphoto library on your local mac. iPhoto works from that copy from now on, and you cn "delete" those photos on the network drive. Is this correct?
thanks
bob

Assuming that you’re using iPhoto in the Default Mode, then yes. Want to test: Select one of the photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window will open with the file selected. In column view it’s easy to track back to the file’s location.

Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done (when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?". No way of copying your book before, or restoring it after?

Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done with a single press of delete (and which can be done when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?" before it happens? No way of copying your book while you are working on it (to make multiple versions of it, or just to have a safeguard copy), and no real way of restoring it after (since, remarkably, the photo books don't appear as items - items which could very easily be recovered otherwise)?

I get a dialog box when I try to delete a book.
And if you right click on the book in the left column you can duplicate it so you can have multiple versions.

How do you devide media into clips?

Have not used Final Cut in a while and I'm lost. How do you seperate media into clips?
Thanks

Step 1: Import or capture the media in the proper format so it will match your Sequence settings. Once media is imported, it is defined as a clip no matter how long its duration.
Step 2: Double click a clip in the Browser to load it into the Viewer. Set an IN point and an OUT point on the clip in the Viewer for the first section you want to use.
Step 3: Edit the section into the Timeline where you want it to go.
Step 4: repeat step 3 as needed.

I am unable to copy and paste text from mozilla, clipboard error

Hi-
It seems I am suddenly unable to copy and paste anything from mozilla into other text editors (word, wordpad, notepad).
I am unable to use ctrl c or v, when trying to do Edit-copy or paste it seems as though nothing is "recognized" by Mozilla.
I'm using a netbook running Win7.
In an effort to fix this problem I restarted firefox, started in safe mode, disabled all plugins, returned to default settings, and have done basically everything except for uninstalling and reinstalling.
Are there suggestions? I looked in older posts, but I also do not have the pushow.dll(or something like it) or the new.net(or comparable) malware so I cant get rid of that either.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kyra

Firefox button > Web Developer > Error Console or {Ctrl + Shft + J} from the keyboard
Do you have any messages relating specifically to that error? <br />
You can right-click a message and use Copy to get that message into the clipboard - and then Paste it here. (If that works.)
Beyond that, try a new Profile (don't Delete your current Profile). <br />

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.

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?

Copy clips in iMovie

I'm trying to copy a clip and put it into a new event but want to keep the original clip in the original event. This is not working no matter what I do. I try clicking and holding option, I tried to copy and then paste it. Nothing is working. Would appreciate some help in this matter.
THANK YOU!

Plug in FireWire cable and turn on power to camcorder. (Use charger to maintain battery power.)
Launch iMovie and select movie project.
Now, the tricky parts:
First, on the Optura 600...
1. Select "Play"
2. Press "Rec/Pause"
3. Press forward button (with right arrowhead and double vertical lines)
Now the camcorder is ready to receive the digital video signal via firewire.
On the iMovie side...
1. In the Share menu, select "Video Camera" At the bottom of the dialog it should show the Optura 600 as connected.
2. Click "Share" button.
If it works you will see the footage on the camcorder screen as it is received and recorded.

Take a workflow variable and copy it to the user's clipboard

I'm looking for the means to have a workflow take a variable and copy it to the user's clipboard. Is this possible?

Hi Mark,
From your description, you have used workflow to copy the URL into a column.
Then I recommend to use JSLINK to add a button to the list view and copy the URL from the column to the clipboard when clicking the button.
Here is the code for the js file and please use it in Internet Explorer(the code only works in IE):
(function () {
var overrideCtx = {};
overrideCtx.Templates = {};
overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = {
'URLColumn': { 'View' : CopyButton }//change the column to the internal name of the column which you copy the URL to.
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideCtx);
function CopyButton(ctx){
var value =ctx.CurrentItem["URLColumn"]
var html="";
if(value!="")
{var html= "<div><span id='copytext'>"+value+"</span><button type='button' onclick='copy();'>Copy</button></div>";
return html;
function copy(ctx){
if (window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData)
var s=document.getElementById("copytext").innerText;
clipboardData.setData("Text", s);
After writing the js file, you need to upload the file to SharePoint and then refer to it in the list view web part.

Copy and paste layer mask into another layer mask

I know there is a way to do this.
How can I copy and paste on layer mask into another.
I need to use the same mask for multiple layers and images.
Thanks

In the same document, click on the layer mask, option drag to a new layer
To copy mask to a different document with both documents open, select the layer, Duplicate Layer to the other document (destination). Then in the other document, option drag the mask to whatever layer you want, delete the layer you duplicated (you don't need it anymore, you just needed the mask)
Or to copy mask to a different document with both documents open, load mask as a selection. Save selection to the other document (destination). Then in the other document load the new alpha channel and apply as a layer mask. Delete the alpha, you don't need it anymore.
Edit: J always beats me to it

Does "Megaphone" program allow you to delete individual entries in call log

http://www.ecamm.com/mac/megaphone/. I came across this program... does anybody know if, other than making copies of your SMS and call Logs, it allows you to delete individual call logs and reload the edited one back into your iphone?back to your phone? Thanks.

Looking at their on-line "manual", there appears to be no way to copy a log back to the iPhone except as a Note. Unless you have a Mac - your profile says you have a Windows system - then Megaphone wouldn't work for you anyway.
