Dragging audio into the timeline

hello, when I drag a loop from the loop library into a timeline in garageband, the loop will automatically play back at the tempo set up for the project, my question is will a file that is not from the loop library, either a third party loop or an audio file that I create also conform to the tempo set for the project, if I drag it into the timeline. thank you rb

If you drag an external file into the timeline, it will be an orange region and will not follow tempo changes. To achieve that, you have to turn it into a purple region (press control-option-g and click anywhere in the timeline) and check the box "follow pitch & tempo".

  • How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

    FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
    I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
    In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
    HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
    Timebase: 25
    I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    ML

    Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
    1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
    2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
    3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
    Hope that helps

  • Why can't I drag clips into the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6?

    hi,
    I have clips in my bin and trying to drag them into the timeline since the newest update and I cannot. Anyone having this issue?
    Thanks,
    Renee

    Sorry if I am saying something obvious, but do you have a project timeline open?
    I suggest you look at a good video tutorial to help you get started with FCP X.
    One of the good ones (and free, too) is at Izzy Video: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/

  • My video disappears when I drag it into the timeline...

    When I drag a video clip into the timeline, only the audio appears.  I scrubbed through and the audio plays, and the video didn't so it's not hidden somewhere amongst the clips I've already made.  The video plays fine in Quicktime and in the Source monitor within Premiere.  Likewise, my co-worker took the same .mp4 and was able to drag it onto a timeline on her computer and this wasn't an issue for her.  I've already dragged nine other .mp4 videos into this timeline without issue that all have the same codec and frame rate.
    I've tried refreshing the program, my computer, and have tried exporting the .mp4 into a .mov as I've read that worked for somebody else who ran into this issue on CS3.  I feel like this is more of a Premiere issue than a video issue.  Does anyone have a solution?
    Thank you.

    very strange. can you confirm you have source patching enabled for your video track?
    have you also tried using the insert or overwrite edit commands from the source monitor to bring in the video to the timeline?

  • Dragging clips into the timeline...

    I recently installed a trail version of Premiere Pro using Creative Cloud. I imported my MTS files as normal; however, they wouldn't be dragged into the timeline for me to edit and every time (and method) I tried it proved impossible. I then tried importing different file types, but they didn't work either. How do I fix this? I am using a Windows PC.

  • FCP X crashes when dragging effects into the timeline

    FCP X will crash when I try to drag an effect from the effects panel into the timeline. This happens for effects, transitions, titles - the lot.
    The weird thing is, this only happens on some events, others are fine. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a fix?
    Thanks,
    J

    Unfortunately I can't get that far in the process to be able to answer your question.
    The crash doesn't occur when I try to add a transition to a file or storyboard - it happens when I try to drag the transition outside of it's own panel.
    As you can see in the screenshot, when the file being dragged touches the red line, FCP shuts down without warning.
    Very confusing and annoying!

  • My fcpx 'sees' the movies in side window, but won't let me drag them into the timeline. Any idea why?

    problem started when i moved my whole photo library to an external. FCPX wouldn't see it, so I moved it back- to the original spot/. And still fcpx wouldn't relink. So i started to 'rebuild' my movie and drag movie clips again into the timeline but it won't let me (tho it 'see's the clips when i click on 'camera' icon).
    It allows me to drag in the original pics (jpegs) but not any of the movies ...arghhh pls help thx!!!!

    What version are you using with 10.8.5? Why did you import video into iPhoto? What are the complete specs of the video files? Are they in formats that are compatible with FCP?

  • With the recent iMovie update whenever I import videos and drag them into the timeline they become delayed. The sound and visual pieces don't match. What do I do?

    can you help?

    Don't know why this should happen, but you can detach the audio and manually synch it. What are the properties of these clips?

  • Can i drag a clip from the desktop directly into the timeline without importing it

    its seems so easy now
    maybe I've been blind to this option before on 10.1.1
    simply dragging  from the desktop or its source a clip to the story/ timeline itself not having to use   file> import media
    which is a lot of steps IMHO
    i notice when i do it also enters the library above where clips are seen and read to be dragged on the story line
    so
    is this incorrect ?
    thanks
    anyone

    By dragging it into the timeline you're importing it based on your import preferences. Great for single clips.

  • Encore 1.5 -problem getting audio on the timeline

    hi - newbie question!!!- i am trying to add audio to my mpeg2 video clip on the timeline in encore 1.5 - i believe you drag and drop the asset from the projects tab into the timeline but when i open the timeline and click the projects tab the timeline dissapears so i am unable to drop audio into the timeline.
    is there any way of ensuring both tabs are open at the same time to allow this ?

    What workspace do you have set up?
    In our installation of Encore 1.5 it is perfectly possible to have the project assets list and a timeline both open at the same time.

  • Can't Drag Audio into Storyline

    I'm a newer FCP X user. In the past, I was able drag audio clips from the side audio panel/library into my storyline. For some reason I can no longer move audio clips into my storyline, I think I change a FCP setting by accident. Whenever I select/click-on and audio clip from the audio panel/library, the background of my storyline viewer turns from a light gray to dark gray. In the past, this did not happen, I could just click and drag audio into the storyline and the background of the viewer did note change color. Now I can move audio into the storyline.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened. Thanks

    Trashing the preferences does not touch your projects or your application. Preference files are kept separately and they do someties get corrupted. Trashing them is one of the first steps to troubleshoot problematic behavior in FCP X and other applications.
    To trash your preferences, you can use Preference Manager:

  • How do I add silence to the beginning of a track? Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing?

    Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing? How do I i do this in the current version of Garage band?

    what is the problem? Can't you drag the audio region to the right, or is the silence at the beginning of the track missing?
    You could mark the measures you want to export by the Cycle region. Then any beginning silence will be included.
