Cutting out the Track without it Moving?? FCE 4

I am working on A music video. I have three Layers of me singing the same verse and when I want to edit out the scenes I don't want so other senes will show.. The video will move out of sync. (Loaf Of Bread method, take a middle chunk out of the bread and it moves foward.) Is there anyway I can delete parts of a scene without letting the videos move out of sync?? I am really new at all of this so you wil have to show me how. Thanks!!

You want to do a Lift Edit (aka Lift Delete).
Select the clip you want to delete.  Then do Sequence > Lift.  FCE will delete the clip and leave a gap in place of the clip. 
Just don't do Sequence > Close Gap or Control-G or you WILL move the remaining clips relative to the clip you just deleted.  And also don't roll or slip either of the clips immediately before or after the sequence clip  that you just deleted.
NOTE:  If clip MVI_0463 on track v2 completely covers the underlying clip on v1 there is actually no need to delete the clip on v1 because you won't see it in the  finished video anyway.  Clips on higher tracks obscure clips on lower tracks.

  • How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

  • Datetime axis to shrink so that it cuts out the intervals that represent weekends

    Is it possible to get a datetime axis to shrink so that it
    cuts out the intervals that represent weekends on the axis? I'm
    plotting financial data.

    "To disable days of the week or ranges of days in your
    charts, you must set the dataUnits property of the DateTimeAxis
    object to days. You then use the disabledDays or disabledRanges
    properties of the DateTimeAxis object."
    For more info, I think this will help:

  • 'cut-out' images from Photoshop import into FCE with unwanted background

    I want to import some custom 'cut-out' images from Photoshop, but they come into FCE with a rectangular background around them. Is there a way to import just the irregular 'cut-out' image?
    Bob

    Make sure the images are RGB 8-bit and in a format that carries an alpha channel or Photoshop transparency like Photoshop, TIFF, PNG, even PICT.

  • Cutting out on tracks

    I've got a 30Gb iPod. I used to use it with a Windows XP machine. I started using an iMac about 6 wks ago and move the music files over. What often happens when I'm listening to music on my iPod since then is that a song will cut out prematurely. Sometimes it just rolls over to the next song on the CD and other times, it starts playing tracks from entirely different CDs or artists. In the latter case, it'll then often come back to the original CD.
    I've always assumed that the files had somehow become corrupted as part of the copy process (from the Windows machine). I've always just re-ripped the CD in question.
    I've not confirmed that this fixes the problem but now I'm wondering whether the problem is with the iPod itself.
    Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so, what was the source/answer?
    TIA,
    David

    Hey
    I'm having a similar problem. 30GB 5th gen iPod randomly cuts out of racks during playback. It always continues with the next song, and bizarrely, it even seems to update the play count (I think). It seems to happen for me with iTunes Store purchases, though not totally sure if that's a coincidence or whether it only affects those songs.
    Any help would be appreciated...

  • Cut out the end of an mp3.

    I have a cd that has a song I like, but at the end the singer is talking to the audience as it is a Live CD. I would like to trim out the talking and end it at the end of song. I would rather not waste space on the cd with 2 minutes of introducing the band. The whole cd is like that but I really only like the one song.

    There is a nice little shareware utility MP3 Trimmer which I use all the time for this sort of thing. Of course it requires that your files are in MP3 format so if you normally import as AAC or something else, this one might not be that useful.
    I like this program because it actually works on the MP3 file itself and when you trim and/or fade, it does it to the MP3 "frames" of the song so you don't quality like you would if you used another program that imports the MP3 then re-encodes it back to MP3 when you are done. There is no re-encoding with MP3 Trimmer.

  • How can I find out the serial number for my FCE 4.0 that came with my old MacBook Pro?

    When I try and open my old FCE projects on my new MacBook Pro, a dialog box pops up and asks me to input the serial number for my Final Cut Express program. The software came pre-loaded on my old MacBook Pro which died. Luckily, my local Apple store was able to transfer the fcp files to my new MacBook Pro, which came with FCP X installed. I just can't open those files without the serial number of the FCE 4.0 program.
    Message was edited by: Garyb1978

    It is almost impossible to transfer FCE as there are so many essential hidden files that workers in an Apple Store will know nothing about. The app needs to be installed from the original DVD.
    Other than buying another copy your only chance  (very remote) is to contact the Apple Store and see if they are able to get a replacement number from Apple.

  • Footage of a building can I cut out the sky and replace with diff. footage?

    I have footage of a building in the day, and I want to cut the sky out and put in different footage.

  • How do I cut out the vocals and keep the instrumentals

    I recorded a track and I just want to keep the instumentals and discard the vocals. Is there a way to break it down and just discard the vocals and keep the instrumentals?

    From a professionally recorded stereo recording (that's not what you originally said) you can possibly reduce the vocals

    A better option would be to find a MIDI file of the song you want.

  • Hello guys, could some one please explain the best process using Photoshop CS2 to cut out the picture from a background?

    Hello,
    My name might be photoshopking, but I am still a newbie trying to learn
    I am trying to present footwear on my website and the problem is all of my images need a white background. Because of this, I have to constantly remove the background detail from photos on the net which I currently just use the Magic Wand Tool which isnt great. I seem to find the edges are pixelated and blurry.
    Would someone on the forum please be able to give me an example using a photo from my website about how to remove the background properly? This would massively help.

  • How do I crop out or cut out the exact image? (Image is solid one color)

    Hi, I need some help getting the image in this http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d97/Wulfgar23/tree.jpg link. I just need the air freshener symbol in the middle, the blue tree. I have been able to kind of get it seperated from the background but it always ends up being a little blurry or fuzzy on the sides. I really need it to be crisp and smooth like it is in blue. Thanks for any help.

    You're absolutely right, of course, but I'm curious how you came by that knowledge and connected it with little-trees.com?  Is it just something you just happened to know, or do you have a process of searching for images or shapes that you follow to try to determine such things?  If the latter, I'd be interested in learning it, as it could be quite useful.

  • I want to cut out the first 30 minutes of the movie

    I need to do a second version of a flash move in which the
    first 20 seconds are deleted.
    In other words, the second version of the movie will start 20
    seconds in.
    There are many layers in this movie etc. Is there a way to
    "chop" either the swf so it starts 20 seconds in OR is there a way
    to chop down through the layers the first 20 seconds out of the
    movie?
    If simply chopping the first 20 seconds from the swf will do
    it then that will be a workable solution for this particular
    project....

  • Why does my mac kick out the cd without recognizing it?

    I am trying to add cds to my itunes library. Every cd I put in gets kicked out after about 8 seconds, with no invite from itunes to add to the library.  Suggestions?

    It's not a signature I recognize, so I can't be definitive, but it appears to be related to text, possibly a bad font or incompatible font manager plugin. Maybe a corrupt style.
    Is it happening with every file you try to open?
