Desperate HELP!  Clip Deletion Throwing Music Track Out Of Sink

AUUUUGGGGHHHH! Help me PLEASE I’m going CRAZY and I hope I don’t have to start completely over! I’ve been working on this video for days and I did something to REALLY screw it up! I have a very short video . . . only about 15 minutes. The VERY first clip of the video is 4:22 seconds long and I want to delete it. Every single time I get rid of it my entire sound track is off be a few seconds! What’s maddening is that it’s just a black clip with no sound of its own. The music track doesn’t even start until the VERY beginning of the second clip so I have NO idea why deleting this is causing me such trouble! Something here is terribly wrong and I’m at my wits end. Any suggestions? Please!?

Hey thanks for everyone’s input. I have read about the “Lock audio clip at playhead” command before and never really understood the concept but as a precaution I HAD locked the audio for the clips I’m talking about. There WAS a transition between the black clip and the beginning of the project. I tried removing the black clip and starting with transaction anyway just so that the time would match up better but it didn’t work. I tried all sorts of things but in the end I chose to completely delete the music track and start building it again from scratch. It took a long time but I’m happy with the results. Since I’m not sure what happened I’m not REALLY sure how to avoid it again in the future but I hope I never go through that type of ordeal again!

  • How to delete multiple music tracks

    how to delete multiple music tracks?

    I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Please help before i throw my laptop out of the window!!!!!!!!  :-)

    OK, so I have been surfing the net for help/solutions but to no avail...
    When I try and burn a disk from itunes on to a blank disk i get the 2131 error which judging by the ammount i have seen written about it, is VERY common.

    My cd driver is SN-S082H ATA ???? please does anyone have any ideas what i can do??????
    Many thanks, in advance! Jen.

    Since the issue really is not related to the focus of this forum...compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, you should 1. Try a different brand of discs. 2. Post your question on the iTunes forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150 3. Post your question on a Windows forum such as those at http://www.windowsforums.org

  • Timeline Help (clips dropping to lower track)

    I've recently switched from FCP 7 to 10. My normal workflow for 7 was to get a few multicam tracks (these tracks have already been synced with Plural Eyes and the multicam clip has been inserted into the Main Sequence) on several different tracks. Track 1 would be one style of shooting (i.e., hard light), Track 2 would be another style (i.e., soft light) and Track 3 would be a different style. This way, I could quickly look at the 3 different tracks and know which style I was dealing with. I would use the blade tool and make edit points and click and drag the edges of the multicam clip to match the track below or above (see image):
    I can't seem to do this in FCP X. In FCP X, I select the clips that pertain to the style of shooting, syncronize them, then place them in the timeline. I do this with all three styles of shooting. Using my blade, I can't drag the edges of the clip and create gaps. The only way I can create gaps is if I "LIFT FROM STORYLINE", but then if a gap is created, it falls to the track below it.
    Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
    I made a video to show you my thought process and it might help explain what I'm doing and what I may be doing wrong.

    As Tom suggested, Multicam is the way for you to do this. You can position your clips just where you want them and tweaking as you do in your video is dead simple.
    I strongly recommend you watch the Ripple Training Multicam Turorial.
    There is a small fee, but it's more than worth it.

  • Make multiple clips from one music track

    How do I trim my music track so that I can edit out parts in the middle--not just the ends?

    do the following:
    1. create the two different instrument tracks, let's say instr1 and instr2
    2. got to the environment window and search these two tracks and drag them a bit aside
    3. choose New/Transformer
    4. drag the Transformer object in the neighberhood of the two instrument tracks
    5. cable the output of instr1 to the input of the transformer object
    6. cable the output of the transformer object to the input of the instr2 track
    7. go back to the arrange window
    8. select instr1 and enjoy!

  • Lumia 620 can't delete all music tracks

    I have tried press and hold on each track but the delete option does not appear. I did manage to delete a few tracks but the last few seem to be un deleteable. As my PC only has XP I can't connect to that. I did remove the SD card and delete the tracks from that but I can't remove any more from the phone memory.

    I have experienced that too with the annoying gangnam mp3 on my Lumia 620. I was able to delete it via PC only.

  • SOMEONE PLEASE HELP BEFORE I THROW MY MAC OUT OF THE WINDOW!

    Is my setup useless?
    Logic crashes every time I open more than 1 external synth (e.g. predator, massive, ABL2). This occurs with no other instruments in the project.
    It cant seem to take the CPU.
    Here is what I have….
    Apple iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz 512MB (2x256MB) 160GB (upgraded with 2gig of ram – as much as it can take!)
    Logic 7
    OSX 10.4.11
    M Audio Oxygen V8 midi keyboard
    Memory 2GB667 MHz DDR SD RAM
    1.47gb memory free
    92.82gb space free on hard drive
    Can anyone offer some advice? Surely for what I have paid for the system, I should be able to get more out of it than this?…. is there anything else I can do to boost processing power?
    Any help is massively appreciated!

    Hi David,
    Before sleeping out of your window waiting your Imac, maybe I would suggest couple things:
    - Getting LOGIC 7.2.3
    - Getting last M-AUDIO drivers (if lot compliant one)
    - Repair permissions with let's say ONYX software.
    - Are you using external firewire hardrive? (issue for some of Imac sometimes)
    if this still causes you troubles, then you 'll see my face outside your house with my arms ready.
    Cheers.

  • Help before I throw this printer out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have just purchased a Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - I will only ever need to print boarding passes etc. -
    this looked so good on Amazon ideal for my iPad and said how easy to set up!!! In my dreams - I have now spent 10 hours
    Trying to set this up and last night was close to cracking:-
    I am setting this by wirless. I have the password and the printer showing on my iPad.
    Each time I try and load the softwear I am told an unexpected error has occurred please try again later - I
    Have tried and tried to no avail. Apple staff have said I do not need this softwear????????
    The network test results say:-
    1 check the printer network name ssid matches your wireless router network name ssid exactly!!!!!
    2 if they do not match exactly, run the wireless setup from the printer software to configure your hp printer!!!!!
    But no where can I find how to do this and sorry I really do not understand what this means.
    Reading Amazon some people have set up in 15 min!!!!
    The cost of bringing in an expert to set this up is worth more than the printer cost!!!!!!
    Thanks for reading feel better letting of steam will defiantly be a 0 from me for the feed back to Amazon

    Hello SueJon,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I hope this reply finds you with the printer not thrown out of the Window. Regarding the Deskjet 2540 setup to work with the iPad, I would like to help.
    There are two ways that you can print from the iPad to the 2540. The first, Wireless Direct. Wireless Direct is a network that the printer broadcasts and the iPad would connect to it. This method will leave the iPad with no other network access while connected.
    Second, and more functional, is having the printer connected to the same network that the iPad is connected too.
    In order to setup this connection, follow the steps outlined below;
    Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).
    Connect the iPad to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.
    Open Safari and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.
    Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Select your network and enter the needed information.
    Once connected, the Wireless light should be solid, connect the iPad back to your network. To print, open a document, hit the Share button (), and if an option to print is available you will be able to select the print option.
    I hope you find this information helpful.

  • Audio recorded LATE... please help before I throw my MBP out the window!!!

    Surely SOMEONE must have an answer to this:
    Audio is being recorded LATE in the arrange. WHAT'S GOING ON?!!?!?
    - There are NO effects across the output.
    - This happens regardless of the soundcard - tested on an RME FF800 and an Mbox.
    - It seems to be late by a random amount each time but seems to increase with track count/plugin use.
    - Changing the buffer size makes no difference.
    - Delay compensation settings make no difference.
    - Recording delay slider is centered.
    I'm runnning Logic 9.1 with a 2.53GHz 4Gb Macbook Pro on 10.5.8. I've had this problem ever since upgrading to L9.
    It's driving me crazy. I'm a full-time writer/producer, and this is making every hour of my professional life very difficult!!!
    Anyone?!

    it's really weird actually... sometimes a new session will be fine at first, and sometimes there's latency straight away, but eventually it's sure to creep in, whether there are plugins on tracks or not... in fact, playing along with the click yields the same result, so it's nothing to do with where i'm perceiving the timing of pre-recorded parts to be (again, there are NO effects strapped across the output).
    as i hinted at previously, a friend of mine had the exact same problem, so unless we're birdbrains of a feather it seems there is a problem with logic!

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Aline my slides to beats & fit selected slides to music track is always grey I've tried every thing can someone please help figure this out

    aline my slides to beats & fit selected slides to music track is always Gray i cant seem to figure it out its something simple i'm sure I've been trying to work it out for hours can some one help me activate these features

    Hello Michael,
    that seems to depend on the theme of your Slideshow.
    I found that all music adjustments are disabled, unless my Slideshow has the "Classic" theme, so if you really want to fit the slide duration to the music try to switch your presentation theme to "classic".
    Cheers
    Léonie
    P.S. that seems to be a bug - the manual does not mention any restrictions in the newer themes.
