CS6 Clip/track editing question, zooming question

Hi folks, I had another account here but it won't let me log in.
I've just done my first tracking session in CS6 after using AA3 for years. I liked a lot of features such as the intelligent snapping when I'm resizing overdub clips, but there's a few things that baffle me.
Clips and tracks - is there any way to lock a clip so that it's always on top? This was absolutely infuriating today when I was doing overdubs. If I needed to do something like a boundary edit on the original file, it would go on top of the overdub clip and I'd have to use the annoying Send To Back option. Can I set anything so that the new file always remains on top?
Also, in AA3 instead of this Send To Back option, wasn't there a possibility to choose which clip you wanted to bring to the top?
Zooming - this was highly frustrating today too. When I'd be working on a track and had it (or clips on it) highlighted, I'd want to zoom in to do a small move or a crossfade or something. The Vertical Zoom bears no relation to the actual track I'm working on which is infuriating - Zoom In just seems to focus on random tracks and I have to scroll down or up to get back to the track I was working on! This is pretty daft, is there any setting I can change so that Vertical Zoom keeps the highlighted track on screen?
Thanks!

No combination of CTRL, ALT etc works to change the zoom.
It does, but whoops, I got it the wrong way around - this makes it zoom horizontally when held over the clips (same behaviour as holding it over the zoom bar).
What's happening on the Vertical Zoom In is that it just expands the screen from the top track. So if you kept zooming in, you eventually just see the first track. Utterly daft. I mean, utterly utterly daft.
Adobe - when I select a track or clip in the Multitrack view and press "zoom in", I would love to actually zoom in on THAT track rather than the FIRST TRACK of the session. Cheers.
Okay, here's all the stuff you didn't discover:
Vertical scrolling and zooming in Multitrack view is different according to where the mouse is positioned when you do it. If you hold the mouse over the vertical scroll bar, the results will vary according to where you hold it on the bar (yes really!). If you hold it at the top, then you get what you describe above - but if you hold it in the middle, it will zoom around that point. If you hold it at the bottom, it will zoom to the lowest part of your display. If you hold the mouse over the display, it will simply scroll vertically. Okay, the behaviour is a bit flaky (well I think it is) but it does sort-of work.
In Waveform view, you can achieve vertical zooming-in on a waveform by holding the mouse over the dB scale and using the wheel there, instead of on the waveform (which scrolls horizontally).

This is a silly question but how do you close the angle editor in the timeline and go back to my master multicam clip for editing? I'm having a brain **** right now...

Please help me with this urgent viewing and editing question for a long video clip.

Hi, I have never used this software before and when I imported a 2 hours and 12 minute video clip of my sister's wedding into the system and added it as one sequence into the program it would only allow me to watch and edit the first 2 minutes.
Why is that and how can I rectify this so that I can watch and edit the whole clip?
Also, can such a long video clip be edited by trimming it and creating transitions where I see fit?
Thanks so much for your advice as I am feeling really stuck right now.

Toast 7 Importing and Editing Questions

My story so far is, I got most of a short project done in iMovie 3.0.3, but one of my songs near the end is hopelessly screwed up by two seconds of phantom sound which can't be seen and can't be deleted. Through trial and error I determined the sound was on the soundtrack, not in the clip.
My question is about importing from more than one iMovie project into Toast 7, and editing the content to be actually burned to DVD.
If I put the song currently being messed up in the order it's supposed to be on one copy of the project, the audio at the end of the project will almost certainly inherit THE CURSE OF THE PHANTOM SOUND.
What if I do that in one copy, but leave it where it is in the other copy? Can I import just the good copies of each song in the project to Toast 7, even though it means importing from two different copies of the project? Or do you have to import the iMovie project as a whole?
If you have to import all of each copy of the project as a whole, will Toast 7 get all screwed up and start complaining before I even get a chance to delete the duplicates, as it would be two copies of things with the same names in slightly different order?
IF I CAN'T DO THIS, it will mean upgrading to another version of iMovie and a whole other set of problems and questions.
Thanks for anything that may help straighten me out or set me on the right path.

To phrase it another way, how much, if any, editing is possible in Toast? It might be simpler to keep both copies the same, put in however many minutes of black space would cover over the bad audio spot, then put the end of the project after that. But in Toast, can I edit the black space down to just the ten seconds I want? Or do I have to burn the whole thing "as is" and then do the editing when I dub from the DVD to the VHS tape?

Multi-track recording question

Multi-track recording question
Hey, just need some help on multi tracking using audition, hope this is the right forum?
Wanted to know if anyone has a clue about assigning inputs from an audio interface to separate tracks on a recording program (ie: Adobe audition)
I record live with my band alot, and have every amp and the kit mic'd up, but how do i make it so that each microphone is recording to a different track on the PC?
My interface is an M audio fast track ultra, if that is of any use.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

In Audition, assuming that you can see all of the inputs available in the Hardware Setup, you find the right-facing arrow (input assign) on each track in MV's Main view, and you click on the box it's pointing to, go to Mono, and select the input you want for that particular track. The mono ones say [01M], [02M], etc. If you want to record a stereo track, then select the Stereo option where the inputs are paired and say [01S] et seq. This would have input 1 as left, input 2 as right.
If you can't see all of the inputs available, try selecting the ASIO driver in Hardware Setup...

PRE 7.0 Capture, Conforming & Editing Questions

I have a new Canon Vixia HFS100 (AVCHD) and have just installed Premiere Elements 7.0.   I previously used a Standard Definition mini-tape camcorder and edited the videos with either Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director.
Capture Questions: The AVCHD media import option does not require a fire wire / nor does it provide device control. (I LIKE this feature since I purchased a camcorder with flash memory cards so that I could import the media through a card reader instead of having to hook up the camcorder.) I realize now, however that I may also want to import a small segment from a longer scene. Should the AVCHD capture feature have device control? If not, can I also use the HDV camcorder capture function instead?   Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Conforming Questions: After I import the .mts files, PRE 7.0 automatically goes through a process that says it is 'conforming' the files.   What does 'conforming' mean? Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Editing Questions: The .mts scenes cannot be played back without SEVERE stutter.   Audio is fine, but the scenes video looks like individual stills with 10-15 second delay until the next still picture. Although I plan to upgrade from my 1 GB RAM laptop to a much higher powered laptop within the next month, I am despearate to edit and publish my first set of videos since they are sales videos of horses I am trying to sell. Is there anything I can do to allow me to edit the .mts files with my current 1 GB RAM system? I would be happy to drop to a lower quality video setting just to get this batch of videos edited and produced.
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Is there anything I can do NOW to get this first set of videos edited / produced on my current laptop?   I would be happy to import as lower quality if necessary.
There are several threads on AVCHD conversion. Unfortunately, I do not recall the conversion utilities recommended. Not shooting AVCHD, I have to admit that I am personally clueless to what programs work, and how well. Others can likely help you there.
2. What configuration wish list can you recommend for either a Dell laptop or desktop?   I will be editing ~40 horse sale videos per month and posting them to YouTube or producing DVDs to mail to prospective buyers.
I have just the ARTICLE for that "wishlist." Harm Millaard is the "Hardware Guru," on the PrPro forum. He gives a lot of great info. Now, it's pretty much geared for the "ultimate" NLE machine, but he does give the reasons, so one can "tone it down" to suit their budget and their needs.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if I find the threads on AVCHD conversion, I'll share those.

Single Edition questions!

Hi there,
I need an updated, quick and precise answers for these Single Edition questions...!
(1) For what I got until now Single Edition do not allow clients to publish a store like a bookstall of magazines. Is that right?
(2) That said, every app built and sent to App Store is "unique" and has no physical connection with other apps built and sent later. Right?
(3) Even though having Creative Cloud and being able to publish unlimited Folios... There is no way we can do a bookstall??
(4) Even using Html5 resources?
Thankyou all...

1) Correct
2) Correct

How does Single Edition compare to Professional and Enterprise Editions?
Professional Edition is an off-the-shelf solution designed for customers who publish frequently updated content multiple times a year and require the ability to sell single issues or content subscriptions (as supported by individual marketplaces) through app stores including the Apple App store, Amazon Kindle Fire Newsstand, and Android Marketplace.
Enterprise Edition is a custom tailored solution that meets the individual needs of professional magazine and newspaper publishers, large corporations, membership organizations and advertising holding companies. Enterprise Edition is fully extensible and can be integrated with back-end editorial workflow solutions such as K4 and WoodWing, print fulfillment services, and dynamic rich media ad platforms.
Unlike Enterprise and Professional Edition customers, Single Edition customers do NOT have access or the ability to:
Create multi-.folio applications
Update content embedded in an application once it is published
Sell through multiple market places (Apple App store is only supported at this time)
Access foundational analytics powered by SiteCatalyst
Extend and integrate with other back end services/platforms

Why do I see things set differently in Advanced Actions (F9) than in each slide's Edit Question settings?

After spending 10+ hours of trying to figure out why my first two quiz slides did work, and my next eight didn't, I found the answer as an offhand, btw, comment. The expected action was On failure, Jump to Slide x, which would jump back to the beginning of that content "section." (Quiz slides (two per section) are interspersed with sections of content slides). I finally ran across the advice to "save yourself time" by using F9 to see Advanced Interactions (which is, what, a dialog? a view?). Turns out this was not just a time-saver but the ONLY way (that I've found yet) to see and fix my problem. In Advanced Interactions, I could immediately see that the first two slides were set as I thought, (Jump to Slide upon failure), but the rest were set to Continue upon failure. This, EVEN THOUGH on every question slide, in Edit view/mode on the Edit Question > Options tab, it was set for Jump to Slide upon failure. Why did it appear that way in Edit Question > Options, but not in Advanced Interactions? I set them all correctly in the Advanced Interactions and now the jumping is working correctly (Now I have problems with questions not being reset, but I think I have seen the answers for that in my 10+ hours of reading forums and blogs.)

Need to split long movie into many clips to edit video

I upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie HD 6...it was a long wait to get audio and video editing that was at least as good as HD 6. We had some 40 year old Super 8 movies digitized and used HD 6 to split them into clips so I could edit parts that were almost black, or some almost totally blown out. I realized that this could probably be done better with 11, so purchased it, but couldn't import the HD 6 clips. Was told I had to export the whole movie as a single clip, then import into 11 and break them apart again to edit.
While I was proficient in HD 6 enough to produce some good stuff, iMovie 11 is befuddling to me, which is a surprise since I do fine with the latest iPhoto, which uses similar terms and processes. I have ordered David Pogue's book; while waiting for it to arrive, my main question is: how do I split this 75 minute movie into multiple clips for editing purposes? Apparently splitting can only be done in the project library, and apparently 11 will only let you split into 2 or 3 clips???
Thanks for any help.

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

ITunes 6.0.2 shows incorrect track lengths, clips track when playing

I just upgraded to iTunes 6.0.2. In previous versions, iTunes would often show incorrect track lengths on longer tracks, but would play them all the way through, with the time remaining staying at 0:00 until the track finished playing. This new version simply cuts the track off at the incorrect endtime. For example, I have a track with a length of 17:33, but iTunes has always shown it as 17:28. No big deal, it would always play to the end. Now, the new version cuts it off abruptly at 17:28. There seems to be no way to correct the track length. Is there any way to fix the track lengths to their correct times, or get them to at least play all the way through?? These are custom mixes and not from commercial CDs, so simply re-ripping isn't an option.

I have recently accused Emusic.com of supplying truncated tracks only to find that Itunes 6.02 and 6.03 (Mac) is clipping the start and end of the tracks. The counter gives the correct length but the playing is not correct. Fade out / in are off. Playing the offending tracks in quicktime or any other player gives all the track music.
Looking deeper shows that the tracks in question are all VBR .mp3 tracks (Variable Bit Rate).
Solutions to date are to either play in another player (not ideal).
Convert the tracks to fixed bit rate .mp3 using the setting nearest to the highest variable bit rate. Amazingly this works even when the conversion is done in Itunes. Your file size should be same or larger to avoid quality loss.
On playing the tracks I have converted the counter in Itunes gives the same reading but the tacks are not truncated.
Some VBR tracks do not seem to have the problem but that is usually because the nature of the track makes it less obvious.

Photoshop CS6 Teacher Student Edition (Permanent License)

This might sound a bit silly question but I need to hear from you who knows better. Is Photoshop CS6 Teacher Student Edition (Permanent License) NOT the CC Edition is a CD-ROM. I mean a regular CD that contains the program and I can install it on my IMac?
Thanks

Well, this is a nitpick, but a CD can only hold 600 MB. Photoshop is way larger than and is supplied on a DVD.
Just by looking on Amazon,you may get it as a boxed item (DVD) or as a download. Adobe offers it as a download.

Cs6 clipping raw files?

With Sony A77MII RAW files I'm noticing that CS6 is only pulling in the area that corresponds to the JPEG preview thumbnail, not the full RAW image. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is this an issue with ACR/CS6? Here's a link to a question about it in DPR: PS CS6 clipping A77MII files?: Sony Alpha SLR/SLT A-mount Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
I also shoot Canon but haven't had a chance to check it yet.

Tentative answer: I checked the camera and the output is set to 16:9. DxO and Capture One apparently ignore this; the Adobe products don't.

No audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing

I was assisted yesterday by your technical support team to install the photoshop elements 12 & premiere elements 12 which I purchased e few minutes prior.
while trying to work with the premiere elements 12, I realised that I have no audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing.
How can I solve this audio setting problem?

If you want us to help you here then please continue reading....
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
Is the lack of audio in the Editing area of the program confined to this one particular MPG2 video clip?
What are the properties of this video file? If you do not know
a. perhaps the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video might give us the information we need for troubleshooting
b. if not, consider getting that information from MediaInfo (Tree View)
MediaInfo - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
Just watch out for carry alongs in the download. The link is for the Windows version. A Mac version is available.
Did you discover the loss of audio for the video file after you had created a narration clip with the program's Narration Tool?
If you have not already, please check the settings under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and its ASIO settings (including Input and Output enablement).
Please review, consider, and reply to the above. If you have questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

CS6 Student/Teacher Edition - Where to re-download

I had to uninstall my CS6 Student/Teacher Edition due to some problems I was having with the software (Adobe Pro kept locking up exactly 8 seconds after opening it).
I want to re-download the software now, and in My Account under My Products & Services, I am able to find my license number, which is great. My question is, do I just download a trial version of CS6 and then plug my license number into that? Or is there a different download somewhere specifically for the "Student/Teacher" Edition that I need to download instead? If so, where do I go for that because I cannot find it anywhere.
Thanks,
Jo

Thank you!
On another note, I just went into my Control Panel and under Programs & Features, found Adobe CS6. If I click that and then click Uninstall, it brings up a box where I can select one or more components of CS6. It seems odd to me that Acrobat X Pro is in the list. I had already uninstalled it separately through the Control Panel (or so I had thought). Do I need to run this uninstall also before re-installing it?
Also, is there any way to download and install JUST the Adobe X Pro for CS6? I'd love to avoid having to reinstall all of the components (and having to re-do all the customized settings I've created for each program!).
Thanks,
Jo
