Deleting a Multicam clip in timeline without changing time.

I have a camera angle [1] that I have in a Multicam timeline.  Audio was built in Pro Tools and is the synchronization base
I inserted [2] in the timeline. and them [3].
I want to delete [2 ]and use [1] in its place.   I know that I can right click "change camera angle " to change [2] to [1] and I would now have [1]  [1]  [3]  .
However I would prefer to have one less edit in the timeline so I would only have [1]  [3].
I can shrink the second [1] to one frame with a roll edit from [1] , but I cannot delete the second [1] without changing the audio.
I suppose that I could then use the handles from [1] to stretch [1] to the correct insert point to [3]
Is there another way?

Thank You! Thank you! Thank You!
I have been having problems with this for over a year now and I couldn't find that command!
Trust me- I looked.
The FCPX Help pulldown is totally useless.

  • How to change an audio clip's speed without changing pitch

    is there a simple way to change an audio clip's speed without changing the pitch in FCP? thanks

    Can't do it inside FCP, but you can in Soundtrack Pro.

  • How can I edit my EXIF Date info without changing Time info?

    I recently went on a shoot with three cameras, one of which was set at the wrong date (sometime in 2012). I now want to correct all the date stamps on the photos taken by the camera with the bad date settings but am finding this next to impossible to do quickly - I have 416 incorrectly dated photos.
    In iPhoto '06 you could go to Photos - Batch Change and a dialogue would pop up with separate Date and Time boxes; I am using iPhoto '08 which has merged these two fields into one, meaning I now lose the correct Time of Day EXIF metadata for each photo I try to change the incorrect Date EXIF metadata on.
    I have googled for a separate app to do this, but none do this - they all seem to change everything in one go.
    How can I fix my problem and change only the Date info while keeping the existing Time info in a Batch process?

    Like I say it's a while since I used 08, but I can certainly roll back 365 or even 400 days on iPhoto 11, without changing the time using the adjust date and time command.
    Aperture uses exactly the same mechanism.
    It's even longer since I used iPhoto 6.
    I did a quick google search and found this:
    http://joemaller.com/970/date-shifting-in-iphoto-08/
    This shows exactly the same process as iPhoto 09, 11 and Aperture, and exactly what I can use to time shift a group of photographs.
    I don't think that the 08 apps were "dumbed down" at all. If I recall correctly, iPhoto gained lossless editing at that point - a very significant enhancement, and no, I don't think there was any effort to push people to change to more expensive products. IIRC every version of iPhoto since then has been less expensive. Apple did do a major rewrite of iMovie at the point, but left iMovie6 available for free as a download for two years. iMovie 11, though a very different interface, has long since overtaken iMovie 6 in capability.

  • Set Time Automatically without changing time zones?

    Is there a way to choose Set Time Automatically (in Settings/General/Date & Time) and not have Calendar change the times of my appointments when I change time zones?

    Here's what solved my problem: NOT checking Set Time Automatically, and NOT checking Set Time Zone Automatically.  Then manually selecting the proper time zone and city.
    Doing that displays the correct local time, without changing iCal times.

  • Moving a clip in timeline without the audio overwrite.

    is there a way to move a clip in a busy timeline in a way that the audio will not overwrite another audio.
    I'm dragging the video  to a clear spot on a higher track but the audio part of the clip remains in the same track (which is occupied by another clip).
    thanks
    arikw

    I found how to do.
    you drag the video portion of the clip downward pass the bar separating video and audio track . the video will remain in video track 1 and the audio will move to a different track.

  • Is it possible to change timezones without changing time of all your old calendar entries?

    moved cities and when I use local timezone all my old calendar entries shift 5 hours.  anyway to stop that?

    Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it tells me to either set it on or off.  If I leave it off, then all my entries from when I was living in NY are five hours off because I live in London now.  If I turn it on and set it to NY, then all my current entries are off.  I need to look back at my calendar (Yahoo) quite a bit, not just for pending appointments. 

  • How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • Audio pops/clicks when changing angles in multicam clips

    I am having problems with audio pops/clicks when working with angle switching in multicam clips. it always occurs when i utilize any of the "audio enhancements" features, such as the loudness or background noise removal features. Switching angles results in audible audio pops. The only way to get rid of them is to disable the audio enhancements. This occurs regardless of the audio source. Is this a known bug that is being addressed? I rely heavily on the audio editing features in my work and am hoping this will be resolved in an update soon. Thanks for any help-

    Hi Brad, thanks for the reply!
    That sounds like a good workaround. What I have been doing in the meantime is create a new compound clip after I finish all of my cuts, and then apply the audio edits to the new contiguous audio clip in the compound clip.
    What is really strange and frustrating is that all of my new audio bugginess really began when I could no longer detach audio from my multicam clips in 10.0.9... After doing many searches here, it seems that in this most recent update of FCPX this is no longer a 'feature'... I don't know why they changed this, but in older updates of FCPX you could detach audio from original clips, compound clips, or multicam clips with no problems. I would routinely create and edit all of the angle cuts in my multicam clips in the timeline, and then if I wanted to, be able to detach the audio and do more edits if needed. Thankfully I can still apply edits to compound audio clips, but it would sure be nice if I could just correct/enhance audio without ugly-sounding artifacts in multicam edits. Thanks again-

  • Changing Speed of clip in timeline in a specific wqay

    I realize there are a variety of ways of affecting
    a change to the speed of a clip already in the timeline,
    but I'm trying to figure out how to do it in one very specific way:
    If I have 3 clips (A,B,C) and I want to change the speed
    of B so that it is slower, but not expand the clip from
    it's original length (meaning it will still occupy the
    same spot, duration and length in the timeline), is there a way of accomplishing that just by punching a specific figure
    in somewhere (i.e. make it move at 50%).
    I know about fit-to-fill, time remap, right clicking a clip
    and changing speed. However, I don't want the clip to
    expand past it's spot in the timeline, just play slower in the spot it occupies.
    The closest I've come is going into the time remap tool and lowering the end keyframe so it moves slower, but this is
    imprecise. I want to be able to punch in 50%, or 60% somewhere and have it take, without expanding. The time remap tool won't let me punch in 50%, although that indicator moves when I drop the ending keyframe down a little.
    Can what I'm describing be done, and if so, how? Thanks.

    Match frame back to the original media. Slow it down, then cut it back in.
    You cannot slow down the clip in the timeline without it expanding. You are telling FCP to take the existing clip and make it longer...of course it will expand in size. It doesn't know that you don't want it to do that. It assumes (rightly so) that you want the clip, with the IN and OUT points you designated, to be slower. Keeping it in the same spot on the timeline means cutting off the head or tail of the clip...losing points you told FCP you wanted.
    Simple to just load the clip into the viewer, slow it down to the speed you want, then cut it in.

  • My vidoe clips in the timeline have changed to a screen that says "offline media" in six different languages

    my video clips on the timeline have changed to a red screen that states in six languages "offline media support"

    frustratedusere
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    If you opened a previously saved closed project and were greeted by a colorful media offline display and "Where is the file.....?" messages, there are at least two possibilities.
    1. You have move, deleted, or renamed files and folders that you imported into the project after you saved closed the project.
    When you import media into the the project, all you get in the project are copies of the originals which are at a hard drive save location. However, the project needs to
    trace back to those originals at the location where they were when you first imported them into the project. You can use the "Where is the file....?" messages to reconnect
    your source media to the project. Can be time consuming and a nuisance.
    2. If you stored the project's source media on an external hard drive and that drive changed drive letter for some reason, this would create a media disconnect situation.
    Correct the drive situation if this applies to you.
    Please review and consider and supply more details. We can discuss this and other related matters (such as use of the Project Archiver) depending on your details.
    Thank you.

  • Multicam Clips in the Timeline and Image Stabilization

    I've got a multicam clip in my timeline that I would like to use image stabilization on. What I'd like to do is:
    double click on the clip which brings up the angle editor with the range and angle selected.
    press cmd-B to blade the clip
    turn on image stabilization.
    Unfortunately, step one doesn't work. I'm forced to open up the angle editor and manually skim and search for the desired angle and time range. It would be okay if the playhead in the angle editor was slaved to the one in the timeline. Then when you went into the angle editor you'd be right at the desired source material, but no, the two seem to be independant of each other. It makes performing the task much slower and more tedious. So much so I am convinced more experienced users are going to know a quicker way to do it.
    So, does anyone know an easier work-around for this?

    Thank you Tom and Luis, but I'm not with any of this. I can add a clip to the timeline or insert a clip into it via the "arrow tools". If I attempt to shorten the clip IN the timeline there is a blank space representing the amount trimmed from the clip.
    I want the next clip along to that I've trimmed to automatically move along the timeline albeit shortening the total project duration.
    Pressing "A" on the keyboard doesn't achieve this.
    I simply click on the clip in the timeline  to highlight it with the yellow margin. I then click on one "edge" with the arrows symbol and drag the edge inwards. This then leaves the space I do not want.
    As for "Preferences" when I click this under "Final Cut Pro" i see nothing either relevant to this problem or that I could trash.

  • How to name individual clips without changing the name of the original file...?

    Hi,
    Theres likely to be a really simple solution to this, but i can't find it! I've done my in & out points, i've created a new clip and i'd like to give it a unique name. When i rename the clip the original file name also changes. How can i rename the new clip without changing the original file name?
    Please help,
    Thanks
    Ed

    Either make the clip a subclip or convert it to a new master clip. Both can be done in the Modify menu.

  • MULTICAM CLIP, retiming without affect audio

    i am editing a multicam project, in time line  i want to retime a clip without to affect the audio, so i lift it from storyline, press cmd r and retime, but the angle audio too is affected i want to speed up just the video  and to fill gap with brolls pictures, graphic or whatever. thanks.

    My first thought was the same as Karsten's, but then I checked and, indeed, "Detach Audio" does not seem to be available in a multicam clip.
    I was able to do what you asked by adding a new angle. Made a copy of the existing angle and pasted into this new angle. Now you can use one angle just for the audio and you can do anything you want with the video in the other angle.

  • 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...

  • Multicam Clip's Audio Doesn't Play In Main Timeline

    I have 2 camera angles of the same event. I made a multicam clip of the 2. Both angles have audio in the video clips. When I go into the multicam editor, both clips have audio. When I play the multicam clip in the Event, it has audio.
    When I put the multicam clip into the main timeline, there is no audio at all. The audio tab isn't there when the clip is selected.
    I need to take 2 different angles, each with their own audio, and make a multicam clip and switch between the two and switch their audio and video.
    What's the trick to get this to work?
    Thank you!

    Thanks, Luis! That was it.
    FYI, it didn't update the clip on the timeline, but I just dragged it back out to the timeline from the event and that one had sound.
    Thanks for the reply too, Tom!
