Cut/insert time snip edit problem

My problem is getting a 2 bar block of all tracks in arrange window to simply cut and have the right half butt upto the left, Removing 2 bars closing the gap. I select every visible region (audio/midi) for two bars, hit set locators by regions command, then snip command, but error says not all regions are selected, well I know some are hidden and I have folders closed, that shouldn't make a difference ? I choose not to abort then the results are unfavorable, I see some regions shift but not all ? This seems like a very basic function that's not happening by following reference manual. Any ideas please ?

For the snip function (Arrange Window's local menu: Region > Cut/Insert Time > Snip: Cut Time and Move by Locators) to work properly you need to first select the concerned Regions:
• The Region you intend to snip +
• The Region you intend to move (when you don't want to move all the Regions after the right locator)
To avoid that dialog when doing a regular snip (the whole arrangement after the right locator shifts forward), just press Command-A (select all regions) and then go to Arrange Window's local menu: Region > Cut/Insert Time > Snip: Cut Time and Move by Locators.

Methods of Cut/Insert time during sustains

I can recall in the now defunct sequencer Studio Vision (and I think this may also apply in DP), when you cut or inserted time in the timeline--globally in the arrange window--any sustained notes (such as pads) occuring at the point of the operation would automatically lengthen or shorten in a corresponding manner to the cut or insert time operation. It was marvelously convenient and quick.
Because Logic is operating only on encapsulated regions in the arrange window, it makes no such adjustments to the durations of the notes within and I find that every time I do some kind of global operation like this, I have to spend some time to readjust sustained notes on all affected tracks so they are no longer either too long or too short by the amount of time of the cut or insert. This is not such an issue with beats, drums, and so on, but it's a big deal with pads, strings, piano with sustain pedals, and so on.
Since using Logic for 15 years, I'm not particularly hopeful that I'll suddenly find a new way of dealing with this problem, and have just gotten used to this extra step. But I'm certainly open to any brilliant new workarounds anyone might have that I haven't thought of or discovered.
Thanks.

Transform templates might be a little quicker, although probably not, because I can usually do nudge duration key commands pretty fast which are also set in these standard increments. If you select a bunch of regions and can do one operation, that would be faster, but I don't see how you could easily just affect those notes that needed adjusting without changing all or most of the others. Then all the notes inside would be affected by a duration transform, so you're still faced with manually selecting only those notes that have been adversely affected by the operation (in each region separately) and readjusting them. I don't mind too much if it's just a track or two, but it can get to be a hassle when dealing with dozens of tracks.
If the music was working as is, but you just wanted to lengthen or shorten some part of it, there isn't any need to have a unique circumstance for each patch in the sense that if I cut a 1/4 note out of a sustain from a global cut time command, then everything just needs to have a duration changed by the same 1/4 note amount over the cut or insert, and the music will sound exactly the same except that it will be shorter in one spot by 1/4 note. I deal with this situation all the time in film scoring.
What is relevant here is the connections between the notes and how much overlap (or lack thereof) there is, and that musical relationship remaining constant.
Imagine you do a mockup of a multitrack string piece which has a lot of long sustained notes and legato phrases. And you just want to take a quarter note out of the middle of the piece. What do you do?
You find the spot.
Do a global cut time. Causing the regions to separate and move.
You "merge regions" for all the tracks in question because they are now separated.
Now you can clearly see the notes over that section are a 1/4 note too long in duration and will overlap with the next notes.
So you go through every track and manually shorten them by 1/4 note.
What if Logic just did this step automatically?
As I said, I did not have to do that in SV or DP, or you could think of it somewhat like taking a razor blade to a piece of analog tape (albeit without editing glitches). Logic does this with audio tracks-yes--but not with MIDI tracks.
When doing global cut/insert time commands, Logic at the moment cares only about the movement of Larger chunks of data (regions). It does not look internally at the effects of these operations so it only adjusts start times of MIDI events, but not durations. Music consists of both. This is what I'd like to see changed, or at least offered as an alternative mode. Ideally, MIDI regions would never actually be cut in this mode, but rather the notes adjusted internally and the regions in the arrangement simply resized/moved respectively to reflect the time inserted or cut from the global timeline.

FCPX10.1.1 does not solve the problem with long-time clip editing!

OS: clean installed mac os10.9.1
FCPX: FCPX10.1.1
Project: 4clips, all of the clips is about 1 hour long (dvcprohd)
Disk: 900MB/S++
machine specs:
2*3.06Ghz 6-core
24GB DDR3
and I've tried these graphic cards:
K5000
and
2 5770
all get the same results:
If I double press the "L" key, the response of FCPX is too slow
If I do other operation like browse the clip, or import long time clip,
the FCPX will become too slow to browse the timeline.
I've found the FCPX like to generate audio waves of the clip and
there's no option to shutdown this! I've tried all the options in FCPX like
do not show the waveform of audio in preference and close the audio waveform in timeline
I don't think I can work the project with 10.1.x.
the 10.0.9 also has the 1st problem, but don't have the 2nd problem.
Another project: 2000++ 4K 50P clips(XAVC), but on FCPX 10.0.9, all of the clips is less than 40mins, always 20seconds.
though it will get slower when we import clips day after day,
it's much more smoother than 10.1.1!!!!!!
so,
I don't think we should update to 10.1.x for the little promotion of performance.
and 10.1.x also do not support nvidia K5000 card.
the render is slower than ait5700.....
I hope apple can solve the problem,
all of the above is just basic editing needs!
if the fcpx can not do even a long-time clip editing
why should I use it?

2 project:
1. 4*1 hour clips dvcprohd
that's the problem! I can not bear it.
2. 2000++clips 4K XAVC 50P project which I don't run on FCPX 10.1.1
I run it in fcpx10.0.9, it's fine, but slower when I imported more and more clips.
until now I can bear it.
the fcpx10.1.1 editing long-time clip has problem:
1.
it use 150MB/s harddisk speed to generate the waveform.
I have 900MB/s disk speed, so that's not the problem,
but it generate all the time!
1 hour clip's wavefrom generates for 1 hour without stopping, if I stop it , the fcpx crashed!
2.
when I skimming the clip for editing, the fcpx gets slower, always 2mins to response my operation.
3.
when I double press J or L key, the fcpx will need about 1 min to response.
the FCPX10.0.9 editing long-time clip problem:
the fcpx10.0.9 can handle the long-time clips, but also has very slow response when I doulbe press J or L key.

Hello! I try for the first time to edit a multicam with FCPX and wether I switch angle with 1-2 or with the razor, nothing happens on the timeline. What can I solve this problem please?

… the funny thing, this article and all other profound advice been found on the net, miss to mention a very basic advice:
first of all, a MC is clip as any other !
… sounds perhaps a bit … too basic , but - as an amateur like me, and using MCs almost any day - you should keep that in mind for your workflow.
After creating a MC, which can be done in seconds!, you get a single clip in the Events browser - and you should treat it as any other clip:
select parts of it, add it to your timeline, you can add it to secondary (for pic-in-pic for example), you can split it, shift it, nudge it, ...
aaaand you can select a diff. perspective = camera (or mic…), without losing synch.
I'm noticing, people spend way too much time in the multi-track timeline view of an MC, in hope, this gives them back those 'tracks' FCPX doesn't offer (for good reasons...)

Inserting time in motion 1

Hi,
I'm working in motion 1 and need to lengthen a section. I can insert time, but all regions after the inserting are then moved into new layers that are suffixed with '1'. If I do this several times, my project will be a complete mess. The insert time command also just inserts time - it does lengthen the selections, making me have to select all of the latter regions and try to match them up with the end of the cut, which is a pain.
Suppose I could export to final cut and find a way to lengthen the sections there.
This program is constantly crashing on me as well. Maybe I need to reinstall. I'd love to buy a new version of motion...but I can't. I don't have a grand laying around to blow on the entire suite. I don't see why apple can't sell separates like everyone else.

Hi,
But in this case user has to input entire date and time. Actually I have three fields
schedule_date - this shoud stores the date- data type : DATE
from_time - this should store start time for schedule date - data type : TIMESTAMP
to_time - this should store end time for schedule date - data type : TIMESTAMP
for eg. 18-MAR-2009, 9.10, 11.25.
I want user to enter only time in from_time and to_time.
I have tried setting format to HH24:MI but then it stores 1-MAR-2009 9:10:00:0000AM in from_time instead it should store 18-MAR-2009 9:10:00:0000AM in from_time and same with to_time.

FC studio2 editing problems with western digital my book home for mac

hi--bought a 1TB WD my book home for mac coupla years ago because it seemed like a good deal for so much space, and provided and eSATA hookup, too. Worked ok for a while. Now, with a growing Motion project that I bring into FC for overall color/levels/export adjustments, I'm getting a long-term beachball every time I try to do anything with it. Just did a complete reinstall of FC studio (after running Techtool pro 5 rebuild and optimizing files and volume), trashed the project and recreated it incase the file itself was corrupted, but the beachball keeps showing up once i try to get past a particular edit and play the file through -- something I haven't had problems with before. Have read this harddrive is a real POS/PIA for many because of its internal "sleep" setting and other weaknesses, and am thinking of cracking the drive out of its case and putting it into a plain eSATA/FireWire enclosure. Anybody else tried this or heard of it working? Money's a big issue right now (too many slow/no pay clients), so can't just run out and get a new drive and transfer w/out trying cheaper route first. Would appreciate feedback, cuz this is makin' me lose what little hair i got left!

My question says: "Final Cut Studio 2 editing problems"; I formatted the drive for the mac when i bought it: journaled HFS+, Apple Partition Map; 2 partitions (and connected via eSATA); which has been working fine as is up till now. The sequence and settings are those in which I've worked on many projects for years with no problems up until now. I am also completely up-to-date with all my app and system updates. I did begin to wonder after posting if the reinstall might be the source of my problems, but it was the interminable beachball waits that prompted the reinstall in the first place.

How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
1. Import MXF files to the converter
Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
2. Select FCP editable format
Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
Tips:
a. Settings- click to set video
resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
smoothly on Mac with ease.

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Font / text edit problem in photoshop CS6

Hi there,
I have a strange text edit problem in Photoshop CS6 running on Mavericks.
Every time I use the text-tool in PS, write a sentence, mark it and change something like color, font size etc., the marked text vanishes.
I have to "undo" the last step and the changed text appears again.
Every time!
I have a clean installed CS6 with no plugins and no other than system fonts installed.
Everything on a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5
Any clues? Thanks.

Do you have the latest updates for photoshop cs6?
You can use Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to check if there are any available.
Also, if you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6, you can see the Photoshop Version in the top line.
You should be on version 13.0.6
See if turning off Dictation solves the issue.
Go to System Preferences ---> Dictation and Speech -----> select OFF radio button .

Multicam editing problems with RT

I am having an issue in Final Cut Pro with editing with the multi-cam editor. We are us-ing a G5 Quad with 4.5 GB of Ram. We selected 4 clips from the Browser, control clicked and chose "make multiclip". Then dragged the Multiclip in to the viewer window, or double clicked it to get it there. Dropped the multiclip to the timeline. Played the Clip, and chose our views in real-time. The video on the Canvas cuts out when we made a new selection. There were cuts made, but they did not show up in the browser. Then we had to play the clip back to get the cuts to show up. I know this is not how it is supposed to work. With the Lesson files in the Final Cut Pro book, you are able to cut and see the edits in real time. I have also seen this done on a less powerful machine than what we are using. Also I have the RT set to Unlimited, and Dynamic. Any Suggestions?

What do you mean with "There were cuts made, but they did not show up in the browser"? The cuts are not supposed to show up in the browser. Did you mean the timeline (your sequence)?
Have a look at this excellent article at Ken Stone's Final Cut Pro Web Site

I have treated photos in final cut using effects. The problem is I can not export them. Please help me. Thank you-

Ernest,
This is how I do it: With all the video & still's in the time line, I click on each (even if I have to use the command key and click on each file). When each file is active I go under SHARE- go to EXPORT MEDIA- I use the Apple Pro Res codec 4:2:2. If you do not click on each file in the time line it will not be exported out.
Hope this helps.

Insert time/frames shortcut?

Hello,
Is it possible to insert time from where the 'Current Time Indicator' is across all layers?
So it would extends all the layers and move all the keyframe accordingly..
In the adobe flash days pressing F5 would achieve the same effect.
So using this image as an example, pressing F5 would extends the layers/move all the keyframes after the indicator by one frame...
Hope the above makes sense
Many thanks for you help in advance

You're right, though, this is a massive pain. The more complex a project gets, the more you start dreading having to tweak timing in the middle.
The first thing I do when I need to add some time to the middle of a complicated composition is I sit back and have a long hard think about whether there is any way, any way at all, that I can avoid having to add time to the middle of my my complicated composition.
What's so frustrating, though is that 90% of the work is repetitive stuff that would be trivial to implement.
Even a simple tool, that just let you automatically select and drag:
- all layers that start after the playhead
plus
- in layers currently under the playhead, all keyframes from here to the end, AND the layer end handle
Drag that combo back and forward to your heart's content. That'd take so much of the pain away. It's a blunt tool - you may well have to either go back and fix things that were actually in motion at the cut, or prepare by putting keyframes round the cut point beforehand. Dragging back may cause some fun keyframe clashes if you're not careful.
But most importantly, it would make it trivial to drag a bit forward, a nudge back to get pacing just right - something that you just cannot do when every nudge currently takes several tediously careful ops to do...
And yes, you'd still have to go and correct any subcomps, but wouldn't that be a quicker job with a tool like this?
I'll stick this in a suggestion box if I can find one, but it seems like one of those things that's so bloody obvious and would make everyone's life so much easier that there's gotta be a reason Adobe haven't done it already. Like Apple taking half an eon to admit that ALL windows ought to be resizeable from their edges. Grrr
Sorry for the rant. One of those days.

Using Final Cut Express for video editing without attaching external device

Hello,
I am a newbie to Final Cut Express as well as Mac's in general. I am wanting to use Final Cut Express for video editing of files, but without an attached camera. Is there any way to have Final Cut Express startup without having it prompt for an external A/V device? I just want to do some basic editing and use the chroma key feature. Can anyone help?
Greatly Appreciated,

Hi Zak,
Unfortunately, I've tried that and I get into an issue that was addressed in this posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=836595&tstart=120 where FCE will show the splash screen and then the program doesn't start. I then have to delete FCE preferences and then I will get the Easy Setup dialog box prompt me again for choosing the external device.
I am looking for a way to use FCE for video editing of files that I already have on my computer that I created using iClone software and is in .avi, or .mp4 format. I get FCE to work one time without the external device actually being attached, but then when restarting the program I get the dialog box asking for the external device and if it's not there, the program just closes, and to get it to work again, I have to delete the preference files and go through the process all over again which is time consuming especially when this is at work. If FCE is not the right program, can anyone suggest a good video editing program that doesn't require an external device and is as good or better than FCE?
Thanks again for your help and support,
