Deriving synced subclips from long unsynced clips?

When I capture my footage from MiniDV tape it often then has to be synced up in FCP. I'm sure there are steps to be taken to minimize this (or maybe not) but in the meantime I'm wondering how to deal with the unsynced footage.
I tried putting the whole long clip in a sequence and syncing it there. That works but then if I make subclips they don't stay together. The subclips taken from the browser to a different sequence paste linked but not lined up. It is the exact video clip and audio clip that I want but the respective tracks are askew from one another. Is there a way to fix the subclips and if not what is the most efficient workflow for deriving synced subclips from long unsynced clips?

Update: The workflow I've found works the best is to
1) sync up the long clip
2) use the razor tool to create my subclips using command-U and storing them in a temporary bin.
When I paste these subclips to my timeline they are the correct in and out points for video and audio tracks but they are out of sync to the degree they were in the original so rather than unlink them and line them up individually each time I...
3) take a big batch of the clips and put them in a temporary timeline
4) select all of them and unlink all of them
5) select all video clips and line them up with their audio counterparts
6) link them all back together
7) select all and drag them to a new bin, sometimes with "synced" in parentheses after the name of the bin to let me know these are the ones that are good to go.

Subclips from Merged clips sync problem

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm having. When I sync audio to my TK dailies, I usually go through the following steps:
1. Sync video clip and audio clip in the timeline.
2. Trim the ends so that I get rid of all the audio and video at the beginning and end I don't need.
3. Link audio and video.
4. Drag linked clips to browser, thus creating a merged clip. This clip will have the in and out I set in the timeline, but the media start and stop will be the original clips' lengths. Because this means I usually have a big long useless bunch of audio at the beginning with no picture, I like to get rid of this, so I:
5. Create a subclip from the merged clip in the browser. This creates a new clip with the media start and end at the point of the former merged clip's in and out. No extra media to clutter things up.
HOWEVER, for some reason this isn't working for me now. When I create the subclip, Final Cut does make the in and out points the new media start and stop times for each individual audio and video clip, but it syncs the clips randomly, so I have sound with no image, then a little random overlap, then image with no sound. If I drag this new subclip made from the merged clip to the timeline, I can unlink and relink to restore the proper sync, but obviously this is a huge pain.
This has never happened to me before, and I've used this method for a while, I THINK from before FCP 6. But right now I'm working on an FCP 5.1.4 again so perhaps it's just something that works in 6? Though I'm almost sure I did it before version 6 successfully.
Does anyone know what's up with this? Or have any ideas for another method to get to the same result? There probably is a better way to do this anyway!
Thanks,
Nayeli

Well, I spoke too soon. That DID turn out to be the problem for that one project, which was at 29.97 non drop frame in general, but for some reason the sound imports as drop frame (though the sound guy assures me it's non drop and all my setting are non drop).
However, I'm having the same problem now in a 24fps project, where I have audio at 48KHz with 24fps timecode and I did a reverse telecine on the original 16mm video. I noticed, however, that though the telecine had no audio, empty audio was captured, and it thinks this audio was at 48048 Hz. This remains even after the reverse telecine. Could this be the problem in this instance?

After updating to iTunes 7.1, I can no longer sync iPod from iPhoto

After updating iTunes to 7.1, my iPod started crashing. I used Restore to resync music, but Restore or any subsequent sync in iTunes will not sync any photos from iPhoto 5.0.4.
The error message I receive is:
"The iPod "My iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
iPhoto appears to work correctly, but no longer syncs. Any advice to get iPhoto working with iTunes would be welcome.
iBook G4 1Ghz/iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod Photo 40GB

When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
- Firewall is off
- Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
- I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
Specs:
iMac G5 PowerPC
Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
iTunes 7.4.2
I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
AC

I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto. I keep getting the following error:
"The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod but after the sync is finished the games are not on my ipod and on itunes they are no longer selected. any ideas?

I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod touch. After the sync is done the games I checked to sync are no longer checked and nothing was actually synced. Any ideas?

Are the apps/games compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Do you have restrictions set that prevent installing the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you successfully synced apps from that iTunes library to your computer before?

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works

thx. francisco

I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
TomWoodbridge proposes a workaround, see Re: iTunes Photo Sync with PhotoShop Elements Fails after PSE Update
Another permanent workaround (which doesn't require to copy the pse database every time you want to sync) is described here: Elements 13: Cannot synchronise photo albums in iTunes after upgrading from Elements 11

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

Audio Sync Issues with Long Clip

I am about to start editing a multi-cam concert shot on 5 DVX100 cameras without Jam sync TC.
In the past i have had issues with sync when digitizing long clips. is this still the case with FCP? Can i safely digitize 45-60min clips?
I am using a Pro-sumer Panasonic MiniDV Deck for capture. (it is on FCP's 'suppported devices' list)
on the avid i would digitize full tapes to make the Grouping (Multi-clipping) much faster. I want to avoid capturing a bunch of small clips on FCP and then sync them individually.
any info is greatly appreciated.
best

DEAD ON THE MONEY. And yes, you can do it with the HVX. This is a really cool thing. There is a gotcha-- the dvx and hvx have an internal battery that allows for the retention of things like timecode when the camera is off. You gotta be sure that battery is charged. And the way you charge it is to attach the ac adaptor and plug it into the wall with the camera off for an hour or two.
Once all the cameras are running with freerun code, you can swap batteries etc and the code just keeps going.
Another thing- when you set up your camera pile, you've got to stand a couple of feet in front of the pile when you hit the remote so that the signal gets to all the cameras.

I cannot find my photos that I sync'ed from my iPhone4S to my PC. More recent photos no longer appear in the Sync directory. What can I do to properly sync them?

Not sure what you mean by "sync" -- Apple uses the term "sync" for transferring photos from the computer to the phone and uses the term "import" for transferring them the direction you asked about.
For importing to the computer the following has directions (which for Windows 7 links to the Microsoft support site since the transfer is handled by Windows 7 the same as it would import from any camera:) Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC

I changed my apple ID on my Macbook but I am unable to sync calendar from my iphone 4s. When I go to settings in the phone, my old ID is there, but it is greyed out and I can't change it. I was able to change the app store ID, but the one in iCloud settings seems stuck. Any suggestions??

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

Workflow question: Editing and replacing subclips from Premiere

I have a bunch of footage, each about 1 minute-long, that I'm cutting in Premier into a collection of 3-second highlight shots. What I want to do is take some of those 3 second shots and fancy them up in AE.
Problem #1:
When I select the trimmed shot in Premiere and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", all I get is a blank composition in AE that is 1 minute long (not 3 seconds like how I trimmed it in the Premiere sequence editor).
Problem #2:
What I did to resolve the issue above is select the trimmed clip, then created a Subclip of it. Then when I selected "Replace with After Effects Composition" it then created a blank composition in AE that was 3 seconds long.
Ok fine, but that still doesn't resolve the blank AE composition. It will be super tedious to import each of the 1-minute footage files into AE and then re-find the 3 second section I already set in Premiere. Am I missing a step somewhere? How do I get After Effects to import that subclip automatically into the library? I tried to export the subclip from Premiere but couldn't find that option.
Is there a better workflow for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Ok I moved all my media files to my main project directory. In Premiere, I selected a clip in my timeline and chose "Replace with AE Composition"
After Effects started up, created a new project file and composition but the media file still didn't show up in the project window. Is it supposed to? Or do I manually have to re-import each movie file into After Effects? As I mentioned, it seems like it will be a tedious task to import the movie files into AE and find that 3-second section again that I cut in Premiere.
Any other ideas or ways I should go about this?
Thanks
