Created effect on clip in timeline. Want to save it for use later..

I realize I can't drag a clip from the Timeline into the Event Library. So frustrating. So how do I go about setting that clip aside with the effects I have applied so I can use it later in various places in my timeline. I don't want it in the timeline now. I want to use it later with the effects I have created, or is that not possible?

I can't seem to do any of that in the event library. As far as I can tell, I can only add effects to clips in the timeline. I have the clip in the timeline and I have created effects. Now I want to remove it from the timeline and not lose the time I have spent creating those effects. I don't want it cluttering up my timeline and I don't want to have to redo all the effects. Is there no way to do this? I'm assuming not. I did find that I could create another event and copy/paste a clip into the event and "save" for later use that way, which seems a really lousy kludge.
If I'm correct that there is no way to save a clip from the timeline for later use, do you think this is just a temporary failing or just part of the way FCPx will always work. I am continuing to explore how FCPX deals with editing and playing with unimportant footage and keep hitting walls like this. I try to figure out if it's just a paradigm shift I need to make but things like this and the inability to copy/paste attributes and such just make me crazy. I'm working hard to move from the unsupported FCPStudio and I know that Premiere will have its own "make me crazy" issues but these limitations as compared to FCP Studio are really frustrating and I just can't tell when I run into problems that will be addressed in a .X release vs problems that are simply "how it's always going to work in FCPX".

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

HT201263 None of the above have worked. Ipad completely bricked. This began when merely updating IOS software as instructed. Now Apple want to charge me for using their crappy software as directed. Surely this is not only immoral but potentially illegal.

That procedure eventually leads you to the need to restore it.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPad in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Welcome to the discussions,
WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83
The size of you HD is calculated binary when it comes to use it, instead of decimal when companies want to advertise there products. 1 KB=1024Byte instead of 1000KB as advertised by the manufacturer. In your case this reduces the actual available space by the factor of 0.93 or approx. 7,4GB.
If you have an "other" section in your color bar showing the different types of data on your ipod, which is bigger than 500MB, this could be a sign of corrupt data caused by a sync that did not complete or copied damaged data. A restore will reduce the size to normal again.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you restore your ipod, iTunes will install the newest firmware first and then add back your data and settings from your last backup if you choose to "restore from backup". Every backup is replaced by the following one, so make sure to include this folder in your backup routine in case you'll have to go back.
You can check the location and size of the backup folder for your ipod here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
copied from: About backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Sorry, I can't answer your payment question, I have never used your kind of setup, maybe you can find something useful here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

How do i create a bootable windows 8 file on my MAC, BUT FOR USE ON MY PC

I recently got a virus on my dell PC locking me out completely from accessing windows 8 login menu. (the only option i have is to boot from an ISO windows 8, using USB or DVD). Since i can't use my PC, i need to create this Bootable option on my MAC. I have come accross this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3MNnbtfyzs
But it doesn't seem to work when i use this option on my PC. Help please.

Why won't you just put your Windows install DVD into your PC and power it up? You should then get an option to reinstall or repair Windows. Or, search the Internet for how to use an anti virus program from a usb stick while booting.

Why is my text pixelated in Illustrator when I want to save it for web?

I added a grunge effect to this font. It scales up and down and fine, but when I preview it in the "save for web" option, it gets pixelated. I tried making it an object, but I got the same result. Shouldn't Illustrator be able to scale these without a problem?
This first is a screen shot of the text. Illustrator is open and zoomed in at around 600%
This second example is when I tried to save for web and zoom in around 600% again.

arcbo,
As I (mis)understand it, what you see is simply the pixels of the raster image.
If you Save for Web at the exact size that it is being used for, the pixels will match the use and it will look nice.
Any raster image looks pixelated when scaled up beyond its actual size.

How to create Protein or Chemical structures in .pdb or .mol format for use with iBooks Author. Please help.

Dear Community,
There are a large variety of software packages used by Chemists and Biologists to view and manipulate Protein and Chemical structures in 3D. They typically have formats such as .pdb, or .mol. I have looked around and none of the software packages that I currently use allow me to export to the COLLADA (.dae) format.
Does anyone have any idea where to begin to allow me to do this. I would like to try and put in some of the 3D objects into the iBook Author program.
Thank you. Chase

I believe that Apple should have provided an easily way to get Pymol images into iBooks Author as VRML has been the de facto standard. After a number of days, I have a method which works, but this much effort should not be necessary. Anyway here it is.
1) Set the viewport in Pymol to 512,384 to do this in the command window type
viewport 512,384
Note, I'm not totally sure you need to do this.
2) Draw you image in Pymol and output the image in VRML format, to do that
File -> Save Image As -> VRML 2 ...
I'll assume that you have given the file the name "pymol_output", you actual get pymol_output.wrl
3) In a terminal window go to the folder where the above file is located and issue the following command. This removes some stuff that messes up the lightening
sed '9,15d' pymol_output.wrl > bender_in.wrl
4) Next you need blender. You can download it from
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
5) Open Blender. In the upper right corner in the Scene section
right click on Lamp and delete it
right click on Cube and delete it
right click on Camera and delete it
Save this file so you don't have to do this every time. I called mine empty_blender_file.blend
6) Either open empty_blender_file.blend or continue from #5 and read in the file from #3
File -> import->X3D Extensible 3D (.x3d/.wrl)
this reads in the file
7) Write out the file in collada .dae format
File->export->collada (.dae)
Done. This file will read into iBooks Author and have somewhat uniform lighting. By the way, .dae files can be opened an checked in Preview. Its easier than going back and forth into the iPad, since you can rotate the image in Preview.
Hope this helps, let me know if it works for you and if you have any suggestions.
Finally someone needs to write a one step VRML and X3D to collada converter that will work with PyMol and Chimera etc.
Have fun!

Hi,
If you are using the CVI libraries on this you can use the GetCompName() function from the programmer's toolbox. However, your code looks fine, the only thing that you need to change is the data type of the paramenters in CompNameLength. Just declare them using the predefined Windows data types; like this:
LPTSTR computerName;
DWORD compNameLength = MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH+1;
computerName = malloc(MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH+1);
GetComputerName(computerName,&compNameLength);
printf("%s",computerName);
free(computerName);
Don't forget to include windows.h where those types are defined.
Good Luck!

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

Why don't my photos want to save when i take one?

When i want to take a picture in booth photo, it doesn't want to save it for me. why should i do?

Hi Melissa ...
Might be corrupted PhotoBooth Preferences ...
Quit PhotoBooth if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Now relaunch PhotoBooth. See if that made a difference...

New to Premiere Elements 9 - adding keywords to clips in timeline?

Hello to hopefully my new best friends
I am editing college football highlights. I have been using iMovie for about 3 years, but it lacks certain features that I was told (still hoping!) Premiere Elements 9 has. Anyway -- I am editing from full game videos from an external hard drive. I have imported an mp4 file (full game), dragged it to the timeline, and edited out the plays that I want to keep, then delete the rest of the footage. So, I have lots of short clips on my timeline. Before I begin the "real editing" or adding the transitions, effects, titles, etc., I would like to be able to "tag" each little clip with a keyword, such as "tackle, sack, interception, etc." - so that I can sort them easily. I see that you can add keyword tags in the "Organizer" - but that adds the tag to the "entire clip" - which in my case is a complete football game; not my edited clips. Is there any way to tag my edited clips in the timeline???
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide!
Kim

Kim,
I've not done this in PrE, so someone else will have to tell you where my process goes off, or exactly how to easily do it in PrE. In PrPro, I can do exactly as you have done, then create Sub-Clips from each of those segments in my Timeline. This will then place them into a Bin (like a folder that I create) in my Project Panel. I have the availability to use many different Columns there, and can even create them to suit. I can also order those Columns, so that say "Description" is the first Column visible, after the Clip/Sub-Clip's name. Some of the Columns, like Description, are text boxes, and I can easily fill them in with just the type of annotation, that you describe. When working on Projects, similar to yours, I will move Description to the head of the list, with Video Usage, and then Audio Usage next. Other attribute Columns follow along, and are ordered to my preferences.
Sorry that I am much less familiar with PrE, as most of my Projects there are rather simple. Still, I know that PrE offers one the ability to display several text Columns in Project Panel, so that part should work. I am just unsure of the Sub-Clips, so that you can easily see just what you have Cut.
Good luck, and I am sure that others will be along in a bit, and can point you to an exact workflow, that will get you what you want.
Hunt
BTW - by using single words in Descriptions, I can even Sort by that Column. Not sure where the alpha runs out - first letter of first word, or something else?
PS - Welcome to the forum!

Unable to play preview clip on timeline Premiere Elements 10

All of a sudden, I'm unable to preview clips, even in unfinished projects that used to work. I'm running Premiere Elements 10, Windows 8.1, Flash updated etc. These clips are activated, not rendered (red line above) but doesn't show. However, if I play the clip, I can hear the sound. Sometimes the program crashes, and I have to start all over again.
Update: Now, when I click on the clip on the timeline, preview window shows one frame, while the marker continues to "play" the clip(without showing anything but the first frame as a still picture. When hitting pause again, preview window shows a still where the clip was stopped...This happens on some of the clips on the timeline. Some are just pure black
Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 64 bit
Pls help

Yes, that could be it!
I do have a NVIDA graphics card! And it's updated with the latest drivers...
Now, I'll have to find out how to do a roll back...I'll read the thread you suggested and hope for the best!
Thanks for the answer!
Additional info:
Some of the clips that wont play in the preview or full screen window, shows a still picture when setting thetimeline to it AND THE clicking on the preview window. A still shows up, but nothing happens when a hit play. Some of the clips are from my GoPro Hero3 Black, but they seem to pay fine as long as I havn't used zoom on them. On many GoPro clips I've used zoom to minimize the "fisheye" effect, and then it wont play.

Any chance you could be part of a growing crowd of Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card users who have run into the NVIDIA video card driver issue. For the now of this issue, the answer seems to be to roll back the driver version rather than assure that you have the latest version of it.
Please check out the following thread here where I have sought to keep track of these happenings.

Please let us know if any of that might apply to your situation.....what video card, what computer operating system?
Thanks.

4 Movie Clips, one timeline...

I don't work with Flash often enough to figure out problems. Should have farmed this job out (may have to, anyone want it?).
I have created four movie clips, that work individually. When I put them into the main timeline, they don't play. Here's what I have tried:
* Place background on stage
* Create one layer, put one clip in the first frame, plays perfectly
* Add second layer, put second clip in the first frame of new layer, all I see when I play the movie is the background on the stage, no clips play
* Deleted layer, added second keyframe to layer with first clip. Put second clip into second frame, same result, all I see upon playing is the stage
What I am trying to accomplish is to have these four movie clips (basically slides of info) play one after the other and then loop back and start over. What am I missing?
Thanx
marc

Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately it didn't work. I am getting:
**Error** Symbol 'OrgMed Clip', Layer 'Layer 7', Frame 65, Line 1: 1120: Access of undefined property _parent.
_parent.nextFrame();
Total ActionScript Errors: 1, Reported Errors: 1
when I try to run the file. The reference is to the second movie clip. All I am seeing in the preview is the stage.

Created a compound clip as external HD unplugged?

Hello,
I wanted to make an entire video black and white so I created a compound clip to see what it looked like. I created it and as it began rendering, my external HD unplugged accidentally.
When I re-openeded Final Cut, it said that the files were corrupted and needed to go to the backup to restore. After I clicked continue, it said the project file was missing one of two clips (The entire video was about 30 clips). The compound clip was now a missing event and there was no way of breaking it apart. I tried 'open in timeline', the break apart clip is not selectedable, and the created compund clip is missing. The event has all the files and they're all ok, inside the compound clip are all my files, I just want to find a way to release them.
Is there any way to do that?
I'm running FCPX 10.0.8 on OS X 10.8.3

Never run into this so I'm doing some guessing. With FCP closed and in the Finder, look in your project folder; in the Backups folder, is there a file with a time stamp that's earlier than the time of the disconnect?
If there is, move the file with the time stamp to the directory level of CurrentVersion and then hide the CurrentVersion file in a temp folder. Rename it CurrentVersion.fcpproject and reopen FCP.
