Duplicate clips

Hope someone can help with this question:
To summarize: I need to combine three video clips + the Text above + the music below + the chapter marker to use multiple times in my movie
The long one: Each chapter in my movie has a set intro (it's a holiday one, broken into Phuket, Bangkok and Isaan):
It's a 15 second intro with a bit of music and text:
• A black screen
• A wierd close-up of some lighting (a split clip) with volume set to zero
• a Black JPEG with text overlay
• a 10 second burst of audio (in green – placed underneath the whole section)
This nice little peice introduces each section of the movie - but I want to select all of this, copy it, and put it in front of each section, only changing the wording "Phuket" to "Bangkok".
So far this has proved impossible - I can move the items as a whole (but not duplicate), I cannot select both audio and video together, I cannot join the three Video clips and if I copy the three video clips and paste them in then the audio and text are not moved at the same time. I thought I could hold down alt and move to duplicate them all (like Indesign) but alsa no.
So for each chapter I have to basically start each chapter from scratch.
Any help?
Many thanks

In Final Cut Pro X you could do this be creating a compound clip in your Event. This clip could then be used in multiple projects at multiple places.
In iMovie, here is a potential workaround.
1) You could first create a duplicate of your Project.
2) Then, in the Duplicate, delete all clips except this chapter title sequence.
3) Enter the words for the first title.
4) Then SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to Apple Intermediate Codec.
5) Repeat this for the second title and the third.
You can import these .mov sequences in Apple Intermediate Codec into your Event and use them in your project.

  • 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 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?

  • Remove duplicate clips through array

    I'm using beneath code to two areas of clips. On the left 10 clips consisting of 2 columns and 5 rows. On the right the exact duplicate. It starts of with clip 1 on the left, than it's duplicate on the right, then clip 2 on the left, than it's duplicate on the right etc. Until both left and right have the exact same 10 clips in the same order.
    Now I've added an event listener. The way I would like it to work is when I click e.g. clip 4 on the left, not only that clip should be removed, but also it's counterpart clip 4 on the right. And the same the other way: clicking clip 4 on the right should remove both the right clip 4 as the left clip 4.
    The way I've got it working now is only when clicking clips on the left. That removes that clip and the clip on the right. I'm using the indexOf array way for that. By deleting the clip on that indexOf location, which would be a left clip and the clip on the right by adding 1 to that indexOf. Since in the array the right clip (duplicate) immediately follows the left (original) clip.
    Of course that doesn't work the other way, when I click a right clip first. Since I then would have to subtract 1 of the indexOf location to get to the left clip version. But I can't think of a way to determine whether the clip clicked on is on the right area or the left. I've commented that second removeChild line since that doesn't work when clicking on a right clip.
    Can anyone thing of a way?
    var clipcopies:Array = new Array();
    for (var rows:uint=0; rows <5; rows++)
              for (var cols:uint= 0; cols <2; cols++)
                        for (var cops:uint=0; cops <2; cops++)
                                  var persona:clips = new clips();
                                  persona.scaleX = .5;
                                  persona.scaleY = .5;
                                  persona.gotoAndStop(cols+1+rows*2);
                                  persona.x = (cols * (persona.width+20) + 10)+(cops*300);
                                  persona.y = (rows * (persona.height+20) + 10);
                                  persona.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPersona);
                                  addChild(persona);
                                  clipcopies.push(persona);
    function clickPersona(e:MouseEvent):void
              var thisclip:uint = clipcopies.indexOf(e.target);
              trace(thisclip);
              removeChild(clipcopies[thisclip]);
              //removeChild(clipcopies[thisclip+1]);

    If I've understood your code correctly, clips on the left will have even numbered indexes or 0 as their index.  Clips on the right will have odd numbered indexes.  I would try:
    var clipcopies:Array = new Array();
    for (var rows:uint=0; rows <5; rows++)
              for (var cols:uint= 0; cols <2; cols++)
                        for (var cops:uint=0; cops <2; cops++)
                                  var persona:clips = new clips();
                                  persona.scaleX = .5;
                                  persona.scaleY = .5;
                                  persona.gotoAndStop(cols+1+rows*2);
                                  persona.x = (cols * (persona.width+20) + 10)+(cops*300);
                                  persona.y = (rows * (persona.height+20) + 10);
                                  persona.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPersona );
                                  addChild(persona);
                                  clipcopies.push(persona);
    function clickPersona(e:MouseEvent):void
              var thisclip:uint = clipcopies.indexOf(e.target);
              trace(thisclip);
              removeChild(clipcopies[thisclip]);
             if (thisclip % 2 > 0) // then thisclip is an odd uint - ie clip is on the right
                   removeChild(clipcopies[thisclip-1]); // remove the clip on the left
              }else{  // then thisclip is an even uint - ie clip is on theleft
                   removeChild(clipcopies[thisclip+1]); // remove the clip on the right

  • 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.

  • Ghost duplicate clip icons

    Morning...
    Duplicates of some of my clips have appeared in the browser which i cannot select.
    Trashed prefs to no avail. Then deleted clips from browser and re-imported which seems to have cured it.
    Has anyone seen this? Is it a problem with my media or my project which might resurface?
    Working on OSX 10.4.11 FCP 6.0.5 with Blackmagic Multibridge Pro and 8-bit Uncompressed PAL footage on a seemingly healthy fibrenetix RAID.
    Any ideas
    Thanks

    I've never seen this behavior, but would venture to guess it's a corrupt project file. I'd make a new one, and import the footage into it myself...

  • How do I change reel settings on duplicate clip w/o affecting the original?

    I'm trying to copy/duplicate uncaptured clips and just change the reel setting. Whenever I do, the reel setting is changed for both the duplicate and the original clip. Is there any way to unlink the reel settings on the clips?
    I synced timecode on three cameras and would like to copy the clips I've logged and just change the names and reel settings, so I can get all three cameras.

    I think there may be more than one way to skin a cat and perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my directions.
    +I'm trying to *copy/duplicate uncaptured clips and just change the reel setting*.+
    +I synced timecode on three cameras and would like to copy the clips I've logged and *just change the names and reel settings*, so I can get all three cameras.+
    When I read this I get the impression names and reel numbers need to be changed on new uncaptured clips.
    When I do a duplicate as new master clip I can immediately change the name. If I make the new clip offline(leave media on drive) I can change the reel number. I can do this by right-clicking on the reel number. Any other tape numbers logged show up in that list.
    If a tape reel # hasn't been logged I can do this by logging a dummy clip with the cam2 or 3 reel # and then those reel numbers will show up when I right-click on any clip's reel numbers.
    What else am I missing?

  • 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...?

  • 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???

  • Can I merge/delete clip duplicates in project window after importing sequences?

    hi, I have to import several sequences from another premiere pro project. Some of them rely on the same material - but premiere imports for each sequence all clips in separate folders. So I tried to delete the duplicates but premiere told me it's needed for a sequence. How can I tell premiere that these clips are the same? I have already 3000 clips in the project without the duplicates and it's getting confusing with another couple hundreds of duplicate clips flying around.
    Thanks for your help,
    Gertrud
    Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on Win7

    I don't know of any way to clean up this project, but in the future, don't import the project, just import the sequence.  That will not create duplicates.

  • Finding and deleting duplicate files

    I apologize in advance if I didn't search effectively enough, but having found no discussion of my problem, here it is:
    Is there a way to find, select and delete duplicate files on my hard drive? I know they exist, and would like to see them listed so I can delete This would be text, photo and movie files. Thanks in advance.
    Peace,
    SredniVashtar
    P.S. I'm using ilife 08 which has produced a lot of occult duplicate clip files. If anyone knows why mac eliminated the "create a still frame" option, I'd love to hear it...

    Go to http://macupdate.com/ and search "duplicates". There are some different utilities for photos, movies and tunes. Although Spring Cleaning will do all, I would stay away from that one or be VERY careful what you delete. Make sure they are only user files in your Home, not system files or Library files.

  • How to copy a clip from one event to another?

    Hi all... I need some help please.
    I have several events with multiple clips in them.
    I want to create a new event.  I would like to COPY multiple different clips to this new event.  I don't want to move clips from the events they are in now.
    I want to do this because I want to put together a movie with several clips that I want to consolidte from several events.  But I don't want to move the clips, I want to copy them into a new event.  So yes, basically have duplicate clips, but in two different events.
    Is this possible?  Please tell me it is
    Thanks.

    Thanks AppleMan... was hoping you would reply.
    Here is my situation.  I have an external hard drive with several years of events (2005-2011).  I want to take several selected clips from those events to put on my internal hard drive.  The clips I want to use for this video (a surprise video for bday too) I want to bring to a Newly created Single event on the hard drive.  This way I have all clips I want to use to make this video in one location.  I don't want to move them from the EHD.
    This way I can work on the video without that EHD (on my MBP). 
    After I am done making the video, I'll likely delete this event with the duplicates.  So it will take up hard drive space for only a few months.  And it won't be tons of clips... just selected ones.
    Thank you!!
    p.s. Wait, if I move them from an EHD to a new single event on IHD, will it move or copy them?  Maybe it does copy them rather than move them?  I don't know.
    The other issue is I have all clips from 2012 on my IHD.  I would like to copy some of those clips to this new event also.  Again, so all clips being used in the video montage are in a single location.  This will be for ease of making video since I will have all clips being used in one location/event.
    Thanks again AppleMan.

  • Replace Clip Audio Bug

    I've come accross a really anoying bug (reported) and I wondered if any of you bright sparks had a known workaround.....  It's happening specifically with Canon MXF (source camera XF-100). 
    The simplest way to recreate the bug is to place a Canon MXF file on the sequence (1 video track, 2 mono audio tracks), right click and replace with (the same) clip from bin.   The audio in track 2 is lost and replaced with audio from track 1.   Arrgghh!!!!
    The reason I'm doing replace footage a lot is because I'm having to render/replace to run lots of footage through PluralEyes, and if I don't do this (it's a mixture of footage sources) things don't sync well.  However, when I bring the sequence back in to Premiere Pro I use replace clip to get the original audio back - except it's losing it!!!  Arrgghh!!!
    What I'm losing is the wireless mic inputs which is the most important part! 
    Any good workarounds that don't involve manually extracting audio and placing just the audio?

    What plural eyes gives us is the ability to load dozens of clips from multiple cameras of an event and have it sync them all ready for editing multicam.  Since some of the cameras don't have timecode (AVCHD) and some of them are DSLR, it's a major PITA to do it manually.  Yes we could do it manually, but having done it that way prior to PluralEyes it can take several hours, whereas Plural Eyes does it in about 10 mins or less (usually less).
    When I was on the Mac, PluralEyes seemed to sync everything perfectly.  Since moving to the PC I've found that the AVCHD and DSLR files don't sync as well unless I Render & Replace the audio for ALL footage.   That works, but leaves me with untold numbers of additional replacement audio files plus duplicate clips in the project.  It can easily go from just a few hundred clips to several thousand clips, which makes project loading much slower, a pain to keep moving all the new files between PCs and of course lots more files to keep track of and organize (and reconnect) in the project folder.   So, reconnecting (replace from bin) to the original footage works well, except for thi one bug.  What a major PITA !!!! 
    What I've ended up doing it adding a second copy of the footage's audio and replacing just that channel for now.  Because the XFs are the long running cameras there aren't as many clips, but I sure hope that Adobe fix this one!  

  • Multiple edits from the same clip.

    Hi guys,
    I have a project which requires a lot of different edits from the same clip.
    Is there any way to do this without having to duplicate the same clip each time and then making my new edit?
    For instance -
    Clip 1 is 20 minutes long.
    My first edit is from 1:10 to 1:35.
    I then duplicate Clip 1 and make another edit from 2:40 to 3:55.
    I'm using Premier CS5.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Sub clips are not a general edit way of doing things efficiently.
    They are more of a way of creating a bin full of "selects" ( selected clips in a Selects Folder for easy and quick access and review). That is a time consuming process but works  well in some situations.
    Standard general  edit practice is to edit from Source Monitor.
    drop Clip into Source Monitor
    Mark In and Out point and drop that to the Time line. (many ways to do that Insert/ overlay/ shortcuts etc..)
    Next...Move thru and create new In and Out and do the same
    continue thru the Source Clip till complete...
    Then on the Timeline ( sequence) Tim and work the clips.
    Now ...some "learners" edit the source clip in the timeline  using Razor Tool...hacking and chopping and deleting and dragging bits of stuff all over the show.   Thats in efficient and clunky .
