Easy Way to Play Clips in Sequence?

Noob question:
Is there an easy way to play my clips in sequence without dragging each into the timeline?
When I log and capture, FCP7 creates a separate clip each time I restart recording. Can I look at each clip one after the other without double clicking on it and playing each in the viewer? I've done a brief search of this forum and the manual without finding anything.

Sure...use another editing app. FCX allows for clip scrubbing. Prelude, part of Adobe CS6, does too.
But FCP, and most other editing apps, require that you load clips into the VIEWER to watch them. Or, you can grab them all, drag them into the sequence to make a quick "stringout" of all your clips for viewing.
This is basic editing...load the clips into the Viewer to watch them. But Apple has changed that by allowing clip scrubbing in FCX. So if you want that, you should take a look at that app.

What is the best way to match clip and sequence settings for real-time editing?

I am a long time FCP user and trying to make the After Effects workflow a little smoother by utilizing the Adobe suite.
One of the most valuable things I miss about FCP is that when I drop a clip in a blank sequence (no matter what the settings of the seq) it will ask if I want to match the settings of the clip. This ensures that no rendering is required to quickly edit the video in real-time.
Is there a plugin or function in Premiere CS4 that I am missing that will afford me this feature? Currently i am doing everything I can to match the clip settings when creating a sequence, but sadly i'm still having to render the timeline to preview the edit.

And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

Does anyone have an easier way of playing sounds?

I've been learning AS3 this year and so far the most tricky and annoying thing for me is the way the Sound Channel works.
I have a movieclip holder with around 20 frames, with animation on each frame.
I have been coding my sound effects, but soon I'll need a Voiceover track on each frame. I don't want to have
to write tons of code for each one, playing them and stopping them if the user toggles back and forth.
Is there a simple way of doing this? I tried adding sounds on the timeline using 'event', but they don't stop
playing if you go to a new frame.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

If you use external MP3 files you could have an array of the file names, or construct the filename based on the frame number. Then you would do a SoundMixer.stopAll() to stop any other sounds playing, and then play the frame's external MP3.
The SoundMixer.stopAll() ought to work for the timeline Event sound version too.

Is there an easy way to play videos consecutively?

I am using ios 7.1, and would like to play a series of 10 minute videos without having to click each one individually. I have searched around, and keep finding references to being able to do it, but then find that it seems to be gone in ios7.1. Is there are way around this??
Thanks,
Emily (going on a long plane ride with a 2 year old, who only likes one TV show, which has 10 minutes epoisodes...)

iMovie does have that feature.
Video is iPhoto needs to be exported first to the desktop, then uploaded from there.
File -> Export and set the Kind to Original

An easy way to play wav files on a java program

Hey. anyone knows how to synchronize the different sounds in a song the most easy way?

Play better... just kidding. Set an appropriate quantize value for all the regions in the inspector window. If you are doing live playing and need to synch to that it is MUCH more complicated. If you're new at this it might actually be easier to re-play it.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

I would think you would drop down the audio level lines in the "Stereo" tab (FCP 6.0.6 view to me) in the clip's video window.
But then again, in my old version, I can't play two clips at once. But I figure if the newer FCP allow you to do that, then that's what I would do.

Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

Play 2 movie clips in sequence

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a script that can let me do this:
If I click a button - 1 movie clip will play X number of frames, and then after it completes, a 2nd movie clip will play X number of frames.
It is important that I can do this in one script in the button.
Otherwise the easy way to do it would be add a command at the end of the 1st movie clip. Which I don't want to do because I am trying to create a conditional event thingy...
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

btn.onRelease=function(){
mc1.play();
mc1.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe==this._totalframes){
this.stop();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
mc2.play();
mc2.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe==this._totalframes){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.stop();

Mark Clip - X shortcut doesn't work for some reason. Is there an easy way to mark a clip without going into Source Monitor?

Hi guys,
I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
Cheers!

Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
Why?
    - X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
    - M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
   HOWEVER:
    If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
    It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
    If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
How it looks with marker added.
Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
    2. How it looks with marker added but you can't see
    3. How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
Hope this help!
Cheers!

Is there an easy way to copy a clip and stack it on top of the clip I copied it from?

I know I can copy it at the end of the sequence and then move it on top of the clip I want, but am thinking there MUST be an easier way.
Thanks

Yes.
Double click the clip in the Timeline and it opens in the Viewer.
Drag the Viewer clip to the Supeimpose area of the Canvas.
Make sure the Playhead is on the clip you require before starting.

Easy way to create DVDs from several hrs of short video clips frm digicams?

Didn't know which group to post this to. It's a 'consumer' need but I need expert insights. I have several years of video clips in iPhoto, taken on consumer digicams and iPhone. I want an EASY way to get these strung together for burning to DVD primarily as my fail-safe backup since I don't want to trust hard-drive backups for this important family footage. I'd really like some kind of batch program or drag and drop so I can just select a bunch of files, either from the file system directly, or in iPhoto, doesn't matter to me, and shazam the program ideally knows how much can fit on a DVD, strings them together, and burns. I don't need transitions or any custom arrangement of the clips. I can know their chronology from file dates so that is close enough. I have Final Cut Express if that helps. I'm willing to spend up to $100 or so if necessary. I can also write shell scripts or Apple Script if that helps. Thanks!

What you really want to be doing is backing up the your iPhoto Library file located in your Pictures folder in your .
I recommend an external hard drive, but if you really want to use DVDs there are applications (like Toast) that can span across multiple DVDs.
