Copy/Paste Clip between Sequences - Only one frame appears?

Hi all. A strange thing has started happening in FCP 7...not always but frequently. When I have two sequences open, I go to the first sequence and copy a clip. I go to the second and paste the clip and it shows up as very thin (one frame). I can then drag the end of it to make it longer but why doesn't it just paste the same length that it was copied?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have any In and Out points marked in the timeline? When you do the copy function what area is highlighted in the timeline or selected?

Disk space error when copying/pasting clips between iMHD projects

Anyone know how to get around this problem? I have emptied all my trash, but continue to get a "not enough disk space" error message when I attempt to paste one copied iMHD clip to another iMHD project. How do I check my available disk space?
I assume that it's my startup disk because I run iMHD off of a Lacie 250GB external HD... Any thoughts?

When we Copy and Paste a clip between projects, iMovie HD duplicates the clip's entire source file to the project. That can be a very large file, so the "not enough disk space" error sometimes occurs when we don't expect it.
One way to learn which disk a project is on is to Command-click (that's the Apple key) on the project name in the titlebar at the top of the project window. The path to the project will appear.
In the Finder, select that disk and choose File > Get Info.
If there appears to be sufficient disk space, please tell us the exact error message.
Also make sure the disk is formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. The disk format is reported in the same Get Info window.

I have just downloaded Elements 11 & there is only one frame (basic) in collage, how do I get more?

I have just upgraded from Elements 7 to Elements 11 but find in the photo Collage there is only one frame, how do I get more, my old 7 had a good variety???

Hi Wobygong5,
I am afraid PSE11 has just one theme, ie. Basic.
However you can go to Expert mode, and then create a new image of the size you want, and then insert frames from the Graphics panel. You can insert as many frames as you want.
But Photo Collage will offer you just one theme.

Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

Copy / Paste Styles between objects?

Can you copy/paste styles between different objects in Motion 5?
I know I can save a Style as a name and then select it from the style list. It would be great to just copy a style and then select another object and paste. Can you do this?
Thanks!
Scot

Motion lets you drag and drop parameters on different things. If the action is "not allowed" you won't be able to do it. That said, if you have a rectangle located somewhere on the screen and you want to line up text over the rectangle, just drag the Position parameter of the rectangle onto the text layer in the layers list.
For "like" objects, for instance: shapes, you can drag the Outline and Fill panels (the entire panel!) onto another shape and all of the contained parameters will be copied over. So, if you have a red outlined (say 10 px wide), blue filled rectangle, and you want the same properties on a circle, just drag those panes (click on "Fill" And "Outline") onto the circle.
If all you want to do is save styles of shapes, or text, that you've created, then for shapes, on the Style inspector theres a Shape Style dropdown at the top of the parameters list. Click that and Save Shape Style. Whatever your current settings are, they can be saved and reselected from that menu. For text, at the top of the Style inspector, you'll generally see Normal (in whatever that layers font is.) Click on that bar and select Save All Basic + Style Attributes.

Component panel = null;
System.exit(0);
But i tried this: but dos'nt work ....
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new configuration().setVisible(false);

}Which frame are you hiding here? You are creating a new one and hiding it before it has a chance to say or show anything. That's incredibly rude.
P.S setVisible(false) just hides. dispose() throws the frame and its components into the trash bin.Yep, that was the answer. :] thanks

Open only one frame

Hi, I want to open a frame when I run an application. The problem is that that frame is opened always that I run the application, so you can have several opened frames.
How can I make to open only one frame, and that no frame is opened until I close the first one?
thanks

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

FCP crash while copying clips between sequences

Any insights as to why FCP crashes when I copy clips (overlay) from a small sequence into a larger sequence? I'm doing this by the drag/drop method.

The copy and paste suggestion is good... however I'm not crashing when I tried this just now... a drag and drop between sequences, so figure something's up. I'm running the universal version of FCP however.
Post back with the results of the copy and paste.
Are the sequences in the same project file?

Space problems when copy/paste clip

Import of an DV-Pal digitalized 59 min S8-film from a DV-cassette by Magic iMovie filled 11,77 GB of HD space. That's o.k.. But when trying to create a new iMovie project using copy and paste by already 6 clips of this film, together lasting ca 1:28 min, new project's need of HD-space exploded to more than 33 GB. The menu diplay for format choice only shows DV, no differentiation between PAL and NTSC. The new clipframes however indicate DV-Pal. I deleted iMovie preferences and reinstalled the program, but without a positiv result.

what catspaw (greetings to NZ, hi Bruce!!) told you is:
when you import 60min as one solid clip,
and when you now choose a 1min portion of that clip
and when you copy/paste that into another project. ..
=> iM doesn't move only a 1/60th of the original, but the full ~13GBs.. !!
the idea behind this is, that you are allowed to 'modify' that shorter clip in the other project.. e.g. you can 'lengthen' it with the trimmers..
you have two options:
forget copy/paste, but Export/Full Quality your selections only.. due to dv, this is a lossless workflow, you don't lose any quality..
or, on import:
tell iM in its prefs, to 'chop' imports automatically into smaller chunks, e.g. 5min.
it doesn't matter on editing or playback, if oyu have a solid clip or many single clips..
copy/Pasting now a selection results in a much smaller 'background' file..
hope, I could explain...

Pasting problem between sequences. Aspect Ratio changes. Help

Hi. I'm fairly new to FCP so be patient with me. I shot HD using the Panasonic format 1080i. I transferred the footage from the SDHC cards using Apple Pro Res 422, 1920x1080. Everything was going fine in editing until I tried to copy and paste clips from one sequence in the timeline into another sequence. The aspect ratio changed in the clips I pasted. I tried to figure out what to do by looking at Sequence Settings and Clip Properties but to no avail.
Any suggestions? I am building separate sequences and then need to paste these together to make a QT movie or DVD for client so need help asap. I've previously worked with JVC HD cams using the 720p24 codec and never had this trouble when cutting and pasting.
Help!!

This is not weird at all. One sequence is set to use square pixels (1920x1080) the other is using non-square pixels (1440x1080).
You need to fix the non-square pixel timeline.
The simplest to understand method to fix the non-square sequence issue is to create a new sequence with the proper settings then copy your material over from the non-conforming sequence.
To get a new sequence with the proper settings (if you have FCP7) all you need to do is "create new sequence" then drop one of the clips into the new empty timeline. If the settings do not match, when the program asks you if you want to change the sequence to match the clips, say yes.
Then select all the clips in the non-conformed timeline and copy and past them in the new correct timeline.

Copy paste text between documents bug

Hi
When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

Thanks Uwe
• New user: no help.
• Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
• Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
• ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
So, this is my persistent problem:
• Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
• The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
• No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
• Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
• IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
• IDMS: language remains correct.
• Trashing preferences doesn't help.
• New user account doesn't help.
• Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
• CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.

Ae cs5 importing seq images all blacked out or only one frame - help

I created a pan background and keyframed it and it is working fine. I then brought in pngs with transparent background as a seq and the image is all black when they imported into ae cs5 once one image was brought in correctly (the first image of the seq). I have batch converted to psds with same results. What am I doing worng importing in seq to work over the pan background?
And I have tried PSD image sequence file - it only brings in one frame.
Message was edited by: l1o1t1r1

I just did some tests. If you export the png's using the save for web and other devices and png 24 then things work fine with grayscale images. If you save grayscale images as png's directly then the png's are aparently saved as png 8's so they won't work properly in After Effects. Any pixel not completely white is rendered black.
To be honest I've never run into this before. It may be worthy of a bug report.
I'm not sure what technique you're using to remove the background from the originals but a jpg made from the original png file can be used as an Luma Inverted matte on a black solid to create the transparency. A little adjustment to the jpg sequence with levels will clean up most of the garbage. This would give you an acceptable result without resorting to a bunch of processing to try and create transparent pngs.

Copying & pasting clips question

We're trying to copy a clip and paste it right above the first one, but it REALLY wants to go to track 1 every time. We looked it up in help and here's what it says:
"Adobe® Premiere® Elements 8 pastes clips to the Video 1 or Audio 1 track at the location of the current-time indicator. However, you can avoid this action by manually copying clips on multiple tracks."
Then, of course, there is zero explanation of how to 'manually' copy and paste the clips so they go where you want them to.
Anyone know how this is done? Holding in Alt doesn't seem to work, either...

In previous versions of the program, the paste always went to Video 1.
In Premiere Elements 8, your clip will be pasted to whatever track you copied the original file from.
