Duplicate clips on Import

Importing Sony XDCam HD material shot at 1080/24p 25 CBR into FCP 5.1.1 via Sont XDCam Transfer. It is putting two identical clips in the bin instead of one and not allowing us to use either one until we delete the clips in the bin and re-import the quicktime from the capture drive. Anyone else run into this?

I have the same Problem, but the first 20 Clips where imported fine and then the i got this duplicated problem.
Seems to be a ** BUG
I need realy fast help to solve this, because the import of the clips is massiv necessary (and depending on a high amount of money).
so anyone solve the problem???

  • Duplicate clips in my footage bin

    I'm doing the Premiere Pro CC Eagle Doc. tutorial. After completing it, I started cutting a new sequence using the same clips. However, for some reason, the clips I used in the second sequence were duplicated in
    the footage bin. When I tried to delete them, I got a message saying that I was deleting clip references (see attachments). In addition, when I did delete two clips from the footage bin, they also vanished from the second sequence.
    Why is it necessary for PP to create duplicate clips in the bin for a new sequence? It only leads to clutter and confusion in the bin. Is there a way to prevent this?

    I've not seen that when duplicating a sequence, but I have seen it when importing a sequence or a project into a new project. Did you maybe duplicate the project and then paste in or import the old sequence instead of just duplicating the sequence within the same project?
    The reason for importing all the media into the new project is so that the media associated with the imported sequence is accessible in the new project, which makes sense. If the media is not actually used somewhere in an open sequence, you can delete it without being warned that the media will be removed from a timeline.
    Of course, bugs do still happen, so, as a test, could you select just the sequence in the project panel, right click it and select 'duplicate' and see if you get three sets of media?

  • Browser Problem - Displaying duplicate clips

    The browser is displaying duplicates of imported footage, one right on top of the other.
    The only way to select the clip is to click beneath it. The marque selection does not work either, it just randomly selects some clips when i click and drag. To select multiple clips, i must shift select each clip, kid of a pain when we trying to log over a 1000 clips today.
    Any thoughts? I have tried to display the browser as thumbnails and the it displays it correctly. But when I go back to list view, it shows the same clips duplicated again. When i select a clip and drag it to the timeline, it brings in two of the same clips.
    I am running leopard, and using the XDCAM transfer tool from Sony, with a PDW-EX1

    Thanks for the replies. It is good to know I am not alone. I think it may be a os 10.5 thing working with Sony's transfer tool. 10.5.2 hopefully will solve all our problems, and give us more problems in return... Oh well.
    Solutions:
    1.) Deleting the clips and reimporting them. This would work, but since there are no tapes as backup, we have been nervious about missing clips from moving or forgetting to reimport them.
    2.) As the clips are importing, move them to bins and out of the main project director within FCP. It seems weird, but the only time the duplicates seem to show up is when there are more than about 15 in the main directory. If you organize them into bins while they are importing, it seems to not be an issue.
    Thanks guys for your advice, hopefully we will not need to deal with this for much longer.

  • How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?

    How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?
    I have already created and shared one movie project from the clips and from photos but now want to make another. However, when i go to the library it only shows me the content of the first project, including the photos, not all of the video clips i originally imported. I can't believe that I need to import them all again.

    It seems to me that you must have imported your clips using iMovie 9, (that's why they are all in the Events folder which belongs to iMovie 9).  Then you must have upgraded your current project to iMovie 10 which will have put the clips used in that project (but not all the others) into your iMovie 10 library.  iMovie 10 has a totally different storage arrangement for media.  You should be able to update your other iMovie 9 projects by choosing File > Update Projects  and Events in iMovie 10.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
    This does not stop you from continuing to use the projects in iMovie 9 though any further editing you do will not be transferred to the other version of iMovie.

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

  • How do I select part of a clip to import in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

    Greetings. I'm a newby in FCPX.  I've been watching Michael Wohl's tutorial and it looks like I should be able to mark parts of clips stored on my HD to import into the event browser.  But I don't seem to be able to mark the clips with either the "i o " keys or dragging.  Only the full length clip can be selected. Is this feature diabled in 10.0.7  or am I missing something?  I also don't seem to have the film strip/list icons at the bottom of the Media Import window.  thanks!

    This capability only exists when importing from a camera card or camera archive.
    You can't select part of a clip to import from a hard drive movie file.

  • Changing clip name behavior for duplicate clips

    Suppose I have one duplicate clip that I have copied into two bins, like so:
    -- Sunday's clips bin
              - clip_name_one
    and
    -- Flowers bin
              - clip_name_one
    If I change the name of one, I expect it to change the name of the other also, since it is the same clip, just placed in two different places (not two separate files).  Instead it only changes in one place, like so:
    -- Sunday's clips bin
              - clip_name_one
    and
    -- Flowers bin
              - clip_name_one_tulip
    Is this intentional behavior? I can't imagine how confusing this will be for logging when I make duplicates in multiple places for organizational purposes. I may even end up with the same clip with multiple names. The same is true for the metadata associated with the clip - if I add a comment in the comment field, it does not propogate. Markers, however, DO propogate to both, which is exactly as I would expect. Why not the metadata?
    Is there a way around this (short of never duplicating clips)?

    I agree, Premiere Pro is a bit weird in what it does and doesn't carry across duplicate clips. For instance, you can interpret the frame rate for a duplicate different than the other version of it. But if you go to timecode and enter a changed start timecode it effects both instances. I get why you would want to sync both name and metadata, but I also see benefits to not syncing it. Either way, I agree the option should be there. There also should be an option like fcp7 has, to rename a clip based on file name, or rename a file name based on clip name (but there isn't).
    That said, instead of creating duplicates of the clip in different organizational bins, you could create custom metadata columns. Therefore creating sort of a virtual bin.
    You could do that by going to the top right of the project panel and clicking on the little down arrow. Then go to metadata display (while in list view). Then you can click on Add Property in the Premiere Pro Project Metadata area. Then you could do a custom property, decide whether you want integer, real, text or boolean. You'd probably want text. So you could choose text and name it Flower. Then you could hit ok. Go back to list view, and type in flower
    Then in your project panel search box, type in flower and find all clips using it. A work around for sure, but may achieve what you want.
    P.S. It would be much better if you could create a boolean field and just search by the word flower and everything checked would come up in the search. Unfortunately the search is a bit stupid when it comes to this. So if you search flower with a bloolean field, nothing will come up! You have to search true or false, and then ANY checked box will show. Quite dumb! Definite feature request!

  • Duplicate files on import

    I am getting duplicates when I import from my memory card.  I have the settings in Elements 12 set to not import duplicates. They are named with a -1

    I was running an up to date version of Aperture 2 on all three of my machines. I upgraded the 17 MBP to Aperture 3. All seemed to function normally. I exported "versions" from an Aperture 2 machine in an attempt to consolidate my libraries. No file names had been changed. "Do not import duplicates" was selected. Aperture 3 wanted to import all files even though some were already present in AP3. I went back and exported "masters" not versions, still saw all files being available for import.
    Here is what the AP3 manual says:
    "When you import images, Aperture automatically checks to see if any of the images are duplicates of previously imported images. Aperture checks the filename of the master to determine if an image is a duplicate of one in the library. Select the “Do not import duplicates” checkbox to prevent Aperture from importing duplicates. If this checkbox is unselected, Aperture imports all images, even if they are duplicates, and creates a new master with a different name for each duplicate. Aperture never overwrites or replaces a master that has already been imported."
    So the question is the "filename" the same. The Finder thinks that the picture file exported from AP2 is exactly the same as the picture file exported from AP3.
    Therefore AP3 is not correctly identifying duplicates.

  • Why duplicate files when importing

    Why am I getting duplicate files when importing into iTunes? I am dragging and dropping them into iTunes. When I ask to find file in finder, I am sent to the iTunes music folder and there are 2 files for each song added. I don't have that kind of space!
    I spent several hours trying to clean this up and deleted duplicates out of iTunes library, then out of the music folder. I tried to test which file of the song I was deleating (orig file, not file1) and now .... iTunes can't find about 3,500 tracks that will need to be reassociated. What is the easiest way to do that?
    I'm not sure if this is another subject or not, but when I go to delete a track it does not show up in trash first. I only get one window asking me if I want to delete this - click yes and it's forever gone. Do not pass trash. YIKES. Is there a way to get it into trash -> then empty trash like everything else?
    Thx.
    iTunes 11.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8

    Maybe I may have figured out part of my question ... these albums have a .mu3 file. Would that be causing the duplicates?

  • Duplicate Clips appears in recorded media files

    I use my Panasonic AG-AC120EN for video recording on 32GB SanDisk ULTRA card., and I get about 3 hours 13 Mts of HD recording.
    Last week I recorded an Event  of about  2hours 30 mts duration my Card file shows it has used  21.1 GB
    When I brought my clip in Premiere Pro CS6 for editing it shows total duration as  6 hours 33 mts which is quite surprising
    On checking my clips in Project Panel, I noticed that clips no 000069.mts show duration as  01:25:17:07
    and clip No 000070,  Clip no 000071, and clip no 000072 are repeat of  clip 000069 each with same duration and same Video
    In timeline in premiere  clip no 000069.mts shows duration as  01:25:17:07., actually it is so but in my media folder it shows duration as  00:26:20  and file size  3.99 Gb I am enclosing herewith media information clip
    Can someone in the form please help., and tell me what is going wrong and where..?   why recorded clips in media are repeated with same video and same duration..?  PLEASE HELP

    Thank you Richard, I think you have missed my point...
    I am on Premiere CS6.,  clips where Imported through Media Browser., and it shows total duration as 06:33:23:13 ., in Media chip it show that out of 32 Gb capacity of SanDisk it has used only 21.1 Gb
    clip No.00069.Mts is repeated three times in MEDIA CHIP ITSELF how this can HAPPEN
    clip 00070.MTS, clip No. 00071 and also clip No.00072 with same Duration and same VIDEO content
    One thing more in Premiere Project and Timeline all the above 4 clips shows Duration of each clip as  01:25:17:07
    actually 1 st clip of the above 4 clips, that is clip no. 00069 if of the duration of  01:25:17:07 that is perfetly correct...
    but in the Drive folder where I have downloaded this clips .,
    It  surprisingly shows duration of clip as 00:26:20 and file size as 3.99Gb  and this is not correct duration of the clip
    Please can somebody throw any light on this happening...  HOW clips are repeated in MEDIA CHIP itself...?

  • Aperture 3 does not detect duplicate files on import

    On import, AP3 still shows the same files I'm importing from my compact flash card that have already been imported. Raw files are coming from a Nikon D70. This also happens when I try to import photos from an SDHC card coming off from a Canon HFS10 camcorder.
    The check mark to "not import duplicate" is checked, yet imported files still show up. I had this same problem before with Aperture 2 and I had to revert back to an older version of CameraRaw -- I believe 2.2 -- to fix the problem.
    Need help please.
    Thanks.

    I was running an up to date version of Aperture 2 on all three of my machines. I upgraded the 17 MBP to Aperture 3. All seemed to function normally.

  • IMovie 09 truncates up to 1 second at beginning of each clip on import

    When importing new video from my Canon HV20 (HDV), I'm noticing that the beginning of each new clip is missing up to one second of recording when compared to the source tape. If I were to import the same material using iMovie HD v6.0.3, the whole clip is imported. Any ideas?

    Same issue using an HV20 here also. Any resolution?
    I tried doing a manual import, but it still misses half a second or so of video from the source. I only tried to import the first clip, so I don't know if manual import helps with subsequent clips (when manual importing and letting the camcorder play to end).

  • How do you make one long clip camera import FCPX

    Does anyone out there know how to make one long clip from a DV camera import in FCPX???  Why the designers thought it was a good idea to chop the clips up during import is beyond me...

    You're expecting one continuous take to import as one single clip, right?
    From my experience with DV-format cameras like the Canon HV20, it's not unusual for there to be enough of a discontinuity (control track??) to create two or more successive clips when importing, dropping a small number of frames between clips. This could be caused by dirty heads or a tape that has been used more than it should.
    A string of separate takes should import as separate clips, I believe.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why is my video being broken up into different clips when importing

    Hello everyone. I just installed FCP X last night and imported a wedding video from my Canon XH-A1s using FCP, but I'm having trouble understanding why when imported the 1hr long footage taken at church is broken up into several clips. I recorded the clip as a whole and just to see if it was a tape problem I imported the clip to my pc using Sony Vegas Pro and it shows up as one whole clip.....what seems to be the problem? Is it dropping frames or is it just easier for FCP to import clips by using this method....I'm new to FCP by the way.
    Using a iMac with Intel core duo, 2ghz Snow Leopard

    Is that true Tom? In FCP7 (and earlier versions) HDV clips are imported as a whole, not fragmented. Every start/stop moment causes FCP to create a new clip. So if Orlando's clip was recorded as a whole, FCPX should import it as one clip.
    Best regards,
    WA (still very happy on FCP6)

  • Jumbled clips after importing finished product from DV Camera

    I'm pretty new to imovie '08 - My problem is that I have a finished product I had copied back onto a DV tape a few years ago and now when I try to re-import it into iMovie '08 it brings it back in as clips - and worse the clips are reorganized (maybe by date?). If it brought it back in order that would not be a big deal, I at least could just select all the clips in order. But it had a sound track that was underlying a number of the clips.
    I would like to know a way to either: Import the final project into iMovie 08 without it automatically cutting it into clips, or import the clips in order.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    If have exactly the same problem. It seems that all transitions are taken out of the original DV footage and shows up as a small thumbnail (1 - 3 sec). This makes it hardly impossible to restore the footage to its original sequence. Did you find a workaround to import an entire DV tape as one clip in imovie 08?
