Creating timeline space before the current start point

Ok, this is probably a simple answer, but I'm relatively new at FCP:
After review a sequence, I realize that I want to add clips BEFORE that sequence's current start point. I can do this by grabbing all the clips on the timeline and sliding them to the right, but this is cumbersome. Is there a simpler way of doing this?

INSERT editing. F9...the YELLOW option.
Or...press TTTT (T four times) and grab the clip in front of everything and it will highlight everything after it...then move it down to give you some room to work.
I find that my single most helpful tool...use it a lot.

  • User start date can not be before the current date

    I'm creating users using the Reconciliation engine. The start date attribute doesn't appear to be reconciling. I get many different types of parse errors. The closest I appear to get is when I set the Xellerate User resource object recon field to have Start date as a date field, i receive the error:
    "User start date can not be before the current date.".
    I'm using 9.0.1.1. And I AM trying to create a user that has a start date before todays date.

    Resolution was to patch to 9.0.1.1578

  • Changing the Media Start point

    So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
    This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
    How do I change the Media Start Point???
    Thanks

    Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
    I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
    Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.

  • HT1386 is there anyway of going back to a back up before the current one?

    is there anyway of going back to a back up before the current one?

    I don't think so, once you created a backup it will override the old backup.

  • Insert space before the capital letter in a word

    Hi,
    I have a column with list of names like
    reports
    admissionPage
    topHighCost
    requestedReports
    Like this there will be many rows. I want to add space before the capital letter.
    This is a rdl query. Is it is possible to do in SSRS? Or we should do in Tsql? Please help me in this issue.
    Thanks in advance..
    BALUSUSRIHARSHA

    Its going to be pretty complicated, in my opinion, to do this in SSRS.
    For t-sql, I developed a function for you.
    CREATE FUNCTION fn_text_with_space(@STRING VARCHAR(MAX))
    RETURNS
    VARCHAR(MAX)
    AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @NEWSTRING VARCHAR(MAX) = '';
    declare @count int = 1;
    WHILE @COUNT <= LEN(@STRING)
    BEGIN
    IF SUBSTRING(@STRING, @COUNT, 1) COLLATE Latin1_general_CS_AS = UPPER(SUBSTRING(@STRING, @COUNT, 1)) COLLATE Latin1_general_CS_AS
    BEGIN
    SET @NEWSTRING = @NEWSTRING + ' ' + SUBSTRING(@STRING, @COUNT, 1);
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
    SET @NEWSTRING = @NEWSTRING + SUBSTRING(@STRING, @COUNT, 1);
    END
    SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1;
    END
    RETURN @NEWSTRING;
    END

  • After a time my computer starts flashing it is resolved by turning off Thunderbird. There is no link to how long before the flashing starts.

    After an unspecified time my computer starts flashing. I assumed it was a hardware problem but found that every time I switch off Thunderbird the flashing stops. If i turn it back on the flashing has stopped but eventually returns. There is no time link, it might be hours before the flashing starts. It is always resolved if I turn off Thunderbird. I have compacted folders, altered check for new email times. I cannot force the flashing to start.

    In System Preferences > Startup Disk, select your internal hard drive by clicking on it. The trouble you are seeing is because the Mac is looking for a network to start from and can't find one. Point it to your hard drive instead.

    You can create a folder with ordinary Java methods. To add a quota, you
    can use Virtual File Services API,
    http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Vfs. In particular, you may
    find addQuota,
    http://developer.novell.com/document...a/btxm0ri.html,
    and modifyVolumeInfo,

    If the center portion of the monitor is flickering then your GPU on the logic is bad or (unlikely given this symptom) that your monitor cable is pinched/damaged.
    **Imediately backup ALL your important data while you can still see things on the monitor
    Contact Apple for appt. for in shop diagnostics for full examination and for parts replacement
    nobody can give you a cost on a repair that isnt fully diagnosed online and cannot be.
    perform SMC reset just to check:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • Timer works if I set the time before the current one

    Hi,
    I've got a block that is part of an actionListener that has 4 buttons, anyway I want the timer to execute something exactly at the time I set it.....but in the code that I have it also executes if i set the time before the current time
    Here's the segmant:
    private class ButtonResponder implements ActionListener
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
                    if (event.getSource() == exitButton)
                                  System.exit(0);
                   if(event.getSource() == setButton)
                        int hour = Integer.parseInt(hours[hourComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                        int min = Integer.parseInt(minutes[minuteComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
                        Date time = calendar.getTime();
                    timer = new java.util.Timer();
                        timer.schedule(new TimerTask()
                             public void run()
                                  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "it is time");
                        , time, 5*1000);
                   if (event.getSource() == cancelButton)
                        timer.cancel();
              }So if I put zeros in hours and minutes it will execute immediately....how can I make execute at the exact time (so that if the time now is 2:00 and I set it to 1:00 it only executes the next day??

  • I can't not set Poject Start Point, as described on p 151 of manual. "You can move the project start point to an earlier position" . Can anyone do this?

    I'm unable to change the Project Start Point.   ( I can change the end point easily)
    On page 151 of the manual it states:
    "You can move the project start point to an earlier position..."
    I can't find a way to do it.   Are other able to change it. If so, please explain the procedure.

    Mmmmm,…..I just noticed this as well…….
    Anyway, try this:
    For the sake of this demonstration start a new project.
    Click the mouse pointer on the playhead in the ruler,
    now the project start indicator should appear, hover the mouse pointer above it until this indicator appears,
    when you see it left click, hold and scroll to the left.
    Good luck!

    I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?
    (I tried to just write this as a reply to someone who had already asked the question whos problem was magically solved after posting the question and the site was not allowing me to post to it so here I am)

    Additionally, when I try to sort the photos by date to easily extract the newest photos which I have not yet uploaded, it is unable to put them in correct order regardless of the fact that the date is correct. Only the videos end up in chronological order for some reason while the photos stay in order by name.

  • Applescript to get the current insertion point of the cursor

    How do I use Applescript to get the current insertion point of the cursor in a Apple pages.app document?

    Oops, missed that one - you are correct, the line should be:
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">set {TheStart, TheEnd} to character range of the selection</pre>
    I have a wrapper script that I use to insert stuff from my handler/code library into a Script Editor document, and was adapting snippets from that for my examples - I guess that one got away.
    As for the dictionary, some applications just have poorly written or outdated documentation. Some of the items have multiple entries (eg, there may be a selection object for the application and also for the document), and some inherit properties from other items. Some are used as nouns, others as verbs (or both). Sometimes it is easier to visualize the item by keeping track of it's reference - the 'some property of document 1 of the current application' thing. You can use the Script Editor's Event Log to see the results of various properties and commands - for example, the above script will result in the following entry (your numbers will vary depending on the selected text):
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">tell current application
    get character range of selection
    {50, 50}
    end tell
    </pre>
    You can also use the 'log' statement (eg, 'log MyVariable') to add your own entries into the log instead of using dialog boxes.

  • TS4006 is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts?

    is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts while the phone is turned off.  In my case the erase is pending the phone being turned on.  Now that I have found the phone, I don't want the deletion to happen.  How can I undo the command before turning on the iPhone?

    There's no way to block the remote wipe.  But once it's been wiped, you can perform a restore from your backup on either icloud or itunes.

    Did you purchase the Mac new?
    You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
    Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.
