Editing all clips

I have a project and I want to de interlace all the clips. Rather than laboriously click on to each one individually is there a way I can de-interlace them all at the same time?

wow that was quick Tom! I did try this except to say that the various de-interlace settings did not follow suit-I ended up changing each one separately

  • How do I move all clips from an event into the edit line...

    If I have an event of tons of clips that comprise an hour of footage, how can I select all of those clips at once from the event library and transfer them to the edit line above?
    There is no Select All feature, that I can see, and it takes forever to highlight each chunk of clips, one at a time, and drag them up.
    I'd like to drag the whole 1 hour's worth of clips in one event in my library up to the edit line at once.
    Thanks!

    Hi Rich,
    I am trying to somehow "select all" clips, (not just all shots within a clip), but all 100 or so slips from an entire tape, from the first clip, to the last clip, and everything in between, and move them all up to the edit pane at once.
    As it is now, I have to click on a thumbnail, select the entire clip, and move one clip at a time up to the edit pane.
    I want to move all the clips up at once.

  • How to mute ALL audio in one single go in an edited multicam clip?

    Hi there
    I'm having to replace some audio in an already edited multicam clip. (there are mulitple audio parts I'm replacing by the way)
    How can I mute ALL of the audio in one go, as I have about 400 cuts and am currently having to mute one by one per cut.
    thanks

    Easy. Select them all. In the inspector, click the Audio tab. Under "Channel configuration", uncheck the box which would say something like "400 selected clips".

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

    Hello
    How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
    I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
    Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
    I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it.  Any advice appreciated.
    Barra

    Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
    I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
    Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

    Then I wanted 4 graphics to slide onto this white line
    How do I do this?
    Thanks
    Omar

    For the first question: place one video on top of the other, as a connected clip. Change the size and position as you wish.
    You have many questions that suggest you are very unfamiliar with the application. I think you'd be well served by going through a few online tutorials. All the things you ask are easy and fun to do in FCP X. It is best to learn by seeing it done. Look at rippletraining.com, izzyvideo.com, and others. I am sure you'll find that it will be time well spent.

  • All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

    I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro.  I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
    I have tried:
    1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
    2). Changing the frame rate
    3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
    Among many others.  The above methods didn't work.
    I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
    Two things though....
    1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
    2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
    HELP!!  I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now.  Help, PLEASE. 

    If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive  ~ 20% would be good.  What are your system specs?
    Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

  • Editing multicam clips - where is proxy playback option?

    Whenever I have been editing Mutlicam clips, I would always choose the "Proxy" option in playback as my media is stored on an external drive.  If i didn't, it just wouldn't play smoothy.
    After updating I can't seem to find the option to choose proxy and the clips dont play smoothly, playback jerks after a second or two.
    This is 
    Any ideas? If it goes to the trouble of creating proxy media (and the proxy files are indeed still where they should be) - surely there should be a way of using them?
    Also - can anyone settle an argument: If a project is edited in 'proxy playback', does that need to be switched off to export in full quality?
    I used to think it did, but not sure at all now with 10.1.
    (2011 2.7 i5 27" iMac)

    Ah! Found it in the top right menu!
    Selected 'Proxy' and was greeted with the familiar 'beachball of non response'.
    Forced quit as usual and when I relaunched I was back editing in Proxy land!
    All is smooth and lovely again!
    Now, I wonder if i need to switch it back to get full quality export?
    Any ideas?

  • Command for move all clips at right of deletion into the deletion gap ?

    Hi,
    Having used razor tool to cut out a portion of a video/audio, rather than then have to highlight all clips etc to the right and drag into this space to snap to last clip, is there a command to do this ?
    Such would save having to zoom out, until able to see all clips and timeline, select the lot, then zoom in again to be sure of dragging across the small gap created in my last edit.
    Envirographics

    Thanks Harm,
    not the most obvious sounding solution, sounds more like a deletion command ! and as for the word Ripple ? ! ...
    r/click 'refill from right' seems more user friendly but it does the job and many thanks to you.
    I shall remember it for the odd name.

  • IMovie won't edit my clip

    Hi. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8, and iMovie HD 5..0.2. I have a clip in my movie which is approximately 872MB long. I have been trying to edit it down to just a few seconds long, so I can use it in a Gee Three Slick 6 transition...Vid Motion. I want to superimpose it over a different clip. I edit the clip to just a few seconds long and when I try to use it in the Gee Three transition, the clip is still in its entire pre-edited 872MB length, even though the correctly edited version is in my clip viewer. And when I try to drag this correctly edited clip onto my desktop, somehow all 872MB gets dragged, and I find the clip is the original unedited length. Even it's information shows it's 872MB long. Any ideas on how I can fix this would be greatly apprreciated
    iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMovie HD 5.0.2

    ... after editing the clip, I would select it in timeline, choose export/Quicktime/FullQuality (no loss of quality...) and 'selected clips only' and export that edited scene.. now, you have a single-solid file, you could re-import or use with that plug-in ..

  • Edit multiple clips

    Hello
    I want to edit multiple clips at once. For example, change the textcolor, or the line pitch of subtitels. Or change the sound volume of all sound clips in the timeline.
    Is there a way to do this not one by one?
    I have Final cut Pro 7.0.3.
    cheers

    Select the clip with the modifies attributes and copy (command c). Select any or all the clips that you want to adopt the attributes of the copied clip. Control click in one of the clips you're about to change. Choose Paste Attributes from the drop down menu and then check off the attributes you want them to adopt from the first clip. Hit OK and you should be good.

  • Finding all clips with a specific effect applied? (CS6)

    I'm just wrapping up a long (2-hour) multi-cam edit and applied the warp stabilizer effect on several clips in the project. As I was skimming the video marking chapters, I discovered some of the clips with that effect had the blue "Analyzing (Step 1)" bar across the clip. Not sure why it didn't complete the analysis and stabilization on those clips originally, but I reran the analysis/stabilization effect and those clips are clean now.
    However, I'm worried I might have missed other instances of the "blue bar" in my skimming. Is there a way to search and find all clips in my timeline that I applied the warp stabilizer effect to so I can check them all?
    Thanks.
    roorider

    Not exactly.
    Any clips with an effect applied have a purple line through them.  But you'll have to click the clip to see which effects are used.

  • A first step: Editing video clips before using them in a longer video?

    I am an absolute beginner.  I have purchased Premiere Elements 7 and I bought the Premiere Bible and am reading that.
    My question is, Premiere seems to be software designed primarily to help you make a video production by joining together video clips, sound clips, and photos.  Is there a step before this, though, namely editing the clips as they come out of your camera?
    I've been using PhotoShop for years, and typically when I take a still photo I open it in PhotoShop and adjust saturation, brightness, sharpness, maybe white balance, rotate if needed, etc.
    Is there another piece of software designed to help do this kind of basic editing to a single video clip?  For example, if the clip came out too dark, is there a way to brighten things up?
    I'd really appreciate any answers, and if there is a book or article you could suggest about editing video clips I would appreciate the recommendation!

    Stephen,
    First, welcome to the forum.
    Next, and this does depend on your camera, you Capture your video from the camera, using a Preset for your Project, that matches the material from your camera.
    Now comes the "RAW conversion," though I am using that term VERY loosely. Many people will do basically a pre-edit, by Dbl-clicking the Captured Video in the Project Panel. This opens it in the Source Monitor, where one sets  the In and Out Points, basically doing a loose edit of the scenes. The Clip in the Source Monitor can then be dragged to the Timeline. Each is done this way, until they all appear, in the order that you want, on the Timeline. Note: you can drag from the Project Panel, and do this in the Timeline too. Also note: when you play the Timeline, you are now looking at the Program Monitor.
    At this stage, one touches up the edits, and adds any desired Effects.
    Usually last is any Audio work, like adjusting the Clip's Audio, or adding Narration, and/or Soundtrack.
    Export/Share is the final step and one can choose their delivery format.
    The exact workflow is a bit different than processing an image in PS, but not totally alien.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How to put edited AE clips back into PPro? (CS5.5)

    Okay, so, here it goes.
    I edit my main footage in Premiere Pro. I recently purchased a denoising software that only is compatible with After Effects, so I have been using the denoiser plugin in After Effects. After I edit my basic video cut in Premiere, I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp. After it has been opened, I do all of my major video touch ups in AE (such as denoising). Now, when I try to export the project as a Premiere Pro (PP) project and open it in Premiere, it doesn't load the project. It's just an empty sequence. That is not a big deal though, because I tried something else. I tried linking the AE composition from AE to PP which works, but it is very slow and precomposes all of the individual clips into one video clip.
    So, just to go over it again, this is what I did: Cut clips in PP > Selected all clips in the timeline of PP and opened them in a new AE comp > Edited the individual clips inside the AE comp w/ effects that are not supported by PP (only AE supports the denoiser effect) > opened the edited AE comp in PP > then the comp came up as a precomposed video clip instead of individual clips.
    So, my question is, how do I get the comp from AE to stay as individual clips when I open it in PP in case I need to adjust something? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just do the denoise effect very last?
    Two other things:
    (1) I noticed that it is extremely slow in PP to render parts of an AE comp... is it just because of the added effects?
    (2) I transcode my video footage to ProRes 422 before I bring them into PP. Once I bring the clips into AE and then back into PP (if I figure out how to), will the clips still be the same ProRes codec? I need them to be the same codec due to color grading and effects later on in post.
    Thank you SO MUCH if you can answer this! ANY help is appreciated! I explained this pretty much as good as I can, so if you don't understand my question, just ask, and I'll try to give you more info. Thanks!!

    I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp.
    That's where you messed up.  Instead, right click on each clip you want to fix, and choose Replace with After Effects Composition.  Then redo your effects.

  • Editing multiple clips at same time

    Hi, I am attempting to edit a project that, among other things, has multiple subtitles. So each subtitle that appears on the screen is its own seperate clip. If I want to make an edit to all of the clips of subtitles at the same time (for example, to add drop shadow) is there a way i can do this without having to edit each clip individually?
    As well, I am trying to put 1.85:1 aspect ratio on the project. I was able to put widescreen (1.67:1) on the entire project at the same time, but have been unable to figure out a way to make alterations to the entire project at the same time. Again, would I have to go through every clip and change the widescreen ratio, or is there an easier way?
    Thanks in advance! noah

    thats not really the way it works
    what you'd do is edit within the nest ... just double click the nest 'clip' and it opens up in its own timeline
    an alternative is to add a cropped color matte on an upper video track to give you the letterbox, or you could build a widescreen matte in photoshop and drop that on an upper track (or you can download my letterbox generator from David Slaters http://www.proapptips.com/ site, you'll need to register first then go to the MyDownloads section)
