Creating merged clips from the timeline not working, any advice?

I am syncing HDV video captured with guide audio, with four track audio recorded onto a Hard Disk Recorder. I need to sync in the timeline as there is not always a clap, but there is plenty of guide sound with the picture. I want to make a merged clip that I can then work with.
I bring everything in - sync it - and highlight everything but find that the link command is dimmed, it is not available.
The 4 track audio, and the video with guide sound both come in to the timeline already linked so I tried unlinking them when I first paste them into the timeline and making them independent clips, before I synced them together but that made no difference. The linking tool (Modify-Link) is dimmed and thus when I drag them into the browser they become many different files, instead of one merged clip. Can anyone suggest a reason why this is not working for me?
I'm running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
thanks very much..

I think I can answer my own question. It seems that several separate files were made in the audio but only one take made in the video, and FCP will not allow the clips to be linked if I'm trying to link one take of video with three files of audio (pasted onto the timeline one after the other under the video). But If I cut the video and link the segments one at a time then I can merge the clips independently. It's not ideal but it makes sense.

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,
digi

How do I completely remove a clip from the timeline?

I just bought a mac pro and final cut pro x to go with it (after a couple of years of being used to using adobe on a pc) so apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but how do I completely delete/remove a clip from the timeline instead of merely 'disabling' it?

If you have a keyboard without the numerical keypad, then FN delete will delete the clip and replace it with a gap if it's on the primary storyline. If it's a normal Mac keyboard, then the back delete will do the trick.
You can also lift a clip from the primary storyline by right-clicking and choosing lift from primary storyline, then just delete.

Making individual clips from the timeline.

So here's what I'm trying to do: put a mess of clips in a row on the timeline, use the blade tool to pick out the bits I want, then take those bits and get the individual clips to export through compressor, and to do this by making as few duplicates as possible (I would like to media manage the project or save space in any way possible). Again, I don't want the timeline as an edited sequence, I am trying to pull individual clips. Also, I need to be able to name them differently (which I can't seem to do by simply pulling the clips into a bin-I rename one and all the ones like it get renamed as well). What is the best way to do this?

1.) Then don't use sequences for this type of work.
2.) Then adjust your In & Out points to create handles.
From the Manual, what is a subclip:
A clip created to represent a limited portion of a media file. By artificially
limiting the duration of a media file, a subclip allows you to work with smaller
sections of a media file. These subclip limits can be removed at any time so you can
work with the whole clip. For example, if an original media file is 10 minutes long, the
Browser clip is also 10 minutes long. You can make a 1-minute subclip and work with
the subclip as if the media were only 1 minute long. For more information, see
Chapter 2, “Creating Subclips,” on page 35.

How do I duplicate a clip from the timeline?

In a sports video I want to duplicate a clip to the project files, then stretch the time of the clip to slow motion, add a title that says " Let's watch that in slow motion" and then insert the slow motion clip after the original clip to make sort-of an instant replay for my grandson. I don't know how to duplicate the clip and put it in "project files" and I'm not sure the best way to make the file a slow motion file. I've looked at the "Help" section but for some reason the blue links there don't function to lead me to the video clips of explanation.

You may be over thinking this. There are easier ways. Jim's way is simple to use.
Or, how about this instead?
Put the clip on the timeline at full speed, then put it on the timeline again, and stretch the time to show it at 25% speed (for example). Put the title over the slower clip and that's it.
This example video shows me putting the video on the timeline, then putting in a title I have already prepared over a copy of the clip held on the last frame, then the same video but set for slow motion using Time Remapping.
If the clip had been longer, I would have eased into the slow motion gradually over the first three seconds or so, but this clip just wasn't long enough for that.

Exporting clips from the timeline as separate files

I captured an entire tape of video and edited out the takes, and now I would like to export individual clips that were already cut with the razor as separate Quicktime files so they can be brought into DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to do this other than copying each segment to a separate project and saving that way?

Create a new bin. Make the timeline active, hit command a (or select-all) drag to bin. This should create copies of all the clips in the timeline with the appropriate ins and outs. Do a batch export and make sure "export in to out" is selected.

Create a project from list item not working if EPT has Project Plan Template

HI,
i am trying to leverage the new feature in 2013 to create a project from an idea list.
This works fine if the EPT does not have Project Plan template assigned to it. Even through workflow action "Create Project from current list item".
However if i assign a project plan template and the user creating the project  is not Administrators Group member, i get an error. While doing this trough a workflow the worfklow gets suspended and i have the below message:

Any one has experienced this ?
Thx

Hi, RonyZ.
I think it could help.
I have experienced the same problem as you are, except "Create project" option, my managers could do it.
So, for me a solution was to set definite permissions for Workflow Initiators (I have created new group, but you can edit, including
Global permissions
New project
Open project template
Server configuration management
For category “My organization”
Open Project
Publish Project
Save Project on Project Server
Excuse me my translation, some names can be written not properly, cause I have localized SP.
In you case, I think, you should check, if you PM group has all these permissions.
And Workflow Initiator should be in group which has.
In LOGS error notifications starts with “Permission denied”, then goes account
name and then the name of permission which is left.

Create new document from current state not working

Hey, everyone. I'm using Photoshop CS6 (ccloud) on Windows 7 and I just noticed something weird. Often when I'm working on an image that I want to duplicate, I'll click on the create new document from current state icon at the bottom of the history panel and a new image identical to it will open up as expected.
Lately, though, every once in a while, when I click it, I'll get a new image that's not identical. It'll be a few states behind and I don't know why. It's never happened before and I'm not doing anything differently when it happens. I recently ran the CS6 update via ccloud, but I can't recall now if this started happening right before that or exclusively afterward.
In case my issue's not clear, let's say I create a blank image, add a background color, add a layer of text, add a drop shadow to the text, then mask it. When I click the create new document from current state icon, instead of creating a new image that's a duplicate of that one, it will create new one where all that's there is the background color and text and all the other steps of adding a drop shadow and mask aren't there as if I hadn't done it yet.
I make sure that I'm not clicking anywhere else in the history panel and like I said, this just happens at what seems like random times with random images. I've even tried saving an image, closing it, opening it again and immediately clicking that icon and it'll still create a new document that has missing states.
Any idea what's going on?

Yep, that existed in CS5 as well.
We'll log a bug on it.

Access to a site from the Internet not working, but is for other sites on the same SP

Greetings,
My environment:
SP 2013 Enterprise w/ SP1 installed
2 servers in the farm, 1 for SQL, 1 for SP
Both servers are VMs running on Hyper-V, SQL is a bit underpowered when it comes to memory, SP is fine
5 web applications running, including a MySites web app and Central Admin (I've seen where separate web apps isn't the recommended configuration any more, but, this is how it was done when setup)
All sites run using SSL (443), same NIC, using host headers, pretty standard stuff (I think)
Claims authentication on all but Central Admin
Central Admin is firewalled off to all but a select few
1 to 1 correspondence between web apps and content databases
Other than MySites, all sites have either 1 or 2 site collections (search is in a separate site collection on 2 of the sites); MySites has many more site collections
So, site A, site B, site C, and site M are all supposed to be available from the Internet (with SSL and authentication) and also from the internal network. For site A, C, and M, this is true, no problem. Site B however doesn't work when coming in from the
Internet, just internally. I've received multiple reports of this from some of my users around the country, and I've been able to replicate it on my computers.
IIS just gives a blank page, no messages, no login. Chrome does present a login box, and will log into the site and work. This is from a laptop that is a part of our domain with cached credentials, but not directly connected to our network or using
our VPN. A non-domain laptop without cached credentials prompts me to login, as it should, and seems to work. The domain laptop will use the cached credentials to auto-authenticate to A, C, and M, but not B.
I'm using IE 11. I've tried putting the site into Compatibility mode, no joy. I've added the site to the Trusted Sites list, no joy. I don't have IE 10 available for testing (or 9 or 8 or ... just 11 :-( ) I've flushed the browser cache, emptied the
cookies, etc.
So, 3 of 4 sites work fine on the same machine, same Internet connection, same browser, same SP. I'm thinking it's something with IE, but, what? Seems like IE should be sending the same creds to all the sites, as they're all in the same Internet domain.
Does IE or Windows cache different creds somewhere? Or is there something in SP? I could see where one person's settings could get hosed somehow, but numerous people around the country with different h/w, different Internet connections, different credentials?
ARGH! HELP!!! Point me at something to look at, because I'm drawing a blank (and getting permanent dents in my forehead from banging it on my keyboard)...
Thanks much,
Steven

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.
Steven

Create iCal events from anywhere? not working in 10.5.4

There is a wonderful automator workflow that really helps creating new events on the fly.....
Well it doesn't work any more in 10.5
below is the tip from macworld.
http://www.macworld.com/article/132889/2008/04/autoicalevents.html
Strangely, the workflow runs fine when used inside Automator; it just fails when run as an application.
Anybody else having this issue?
Anybody else have a fix?

So it appears that this is a know issue with Apple Support.

Video clips from phone will not work in photo show software

I have some video clips from my phone, but they won't transfer to my photo show software. Will upgrading to Quicktime Pro help?

The Pro upgrade merely enables features found in the standard install of QuickTime.
If the file opens and plays properly in QuickTime the Pro upgrade allows you to export to other formats.

Deleting mail from the server - not working properly

Hello all,
I usually remove all spam from the mail server as soon as it comes in to avoid it arriving in all our office mailboxes.
Since upgrading to Leopard, I've run into some hickups.
After going to apple-i, I select the spam messages, click on 'delete from server', confirm this in the pop-up window... after which nothing happens. While I should get an updated list of messages on the server, and a new number and size of messages in the bottom left corner.
I sometimes have to repeat the procedure two or more times before the selected messages are deleted.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Lianne

No-one experiencing the same problem??

HT4623 I updated my ipad to IOS7 and have had a variety of problems from the keyboard not working to my programs skipping from one to the next although i do not touch my screen

I updated my ipad to IOS7.04 and have had a variety of problems from a sticky keyboard to my programs/apps skipping from program/app to program/app without my touching my screen.
I tried to restore my ipad to the factory setting and that did not resolve the problem. Due to the upgrade i cannot use my ipad as a funtional unit, how can i get my ipad to function properly again?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
