Editing multiple camcorders

I'm very new to Macs and FCE. I've been using Premiere Elements for years and mostly I've been videoing local amateur shows with multiple camcorders. In PE, having synchronized the tracks I've reconfigured the preview window so I can see all tracks and then got on with chopping bits out of the upper tracks to take full advantage of all the camcorder positions.
In FCE how can I get the canvas (or another viewer?) to show, albeit smaller versions of, what's going on in the timeline for all video tracks.
Is there some sort of PE to FCE guide that someone might have put together (he asked hopefully...)?
Thanks in advance!

Brilliant! Many thanks But please don't go too far away now 'cause I'll be back with lots more like that

Editing Multiple Text layers in Photoshop CC

Hi,
I have a problem when tyring ot edit multiple text layers and it's really a big problem as it crops up with virtually every design I do (websites, games apps...)
In previous versions of PS, you could select multiple text layers and edit them in bulk, so for exmaple, select a number of text layers, then change their font size (to say 20pt)... done.
However, with CC, there seems to be some odd 'ratio' editing goign on - if I select multiple text layers of different size and edit them (to all be 20pt, for example), it seems to just 'add' 20pt to what ever font size the individual layers were
It's a real issue/pain for me (and I suspect many others)
Please is there a fix or a way to switch off this 'feature'?
So to clarrify, I want to edit multiple (often different) text layers in one go to be the same font size... like I used to be able to.
Thanks.

The last few times we saw this, it was due to a bug in a video card driver.
Please update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

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 edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.

OS X 10.10.2

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

Trouble with editing multiple frames

Hi guys,
I'm new to CS4 - learnt my flash many years ago on Flash 5. So anyway I'm trying to get used to the new Motion Tween function and having a few problems.
I've created a simple animation where an object fades in, stays put for a moment and then fades out (one motion tween with 4 keyframes). I now want to resize the movie clip across all of these keyframes cos I got it wrong to start with.
So I click 'Edit Multiple Frames' (everything disappears but that's for another question), drag the onion thingy across the timeline and select the frames on the layer I want to edit. I then click on the free transform tool and drag the invisible movie clip (you can see the outline!) to make it larger.
Result? Well it seems to scale the first frame, but the others are all left at the original scale. Hence animation now shows object fading in whilst getting smaller etc. etc.
There must be an easy way to do this. I've tried the motion editor but you have to do it keyframe by keyframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ben

Modifying an entire animation with motion tweens is not as easy as it used to be.
Here's the best answer you are probably going to get.
from : http://flashthusiast.com/2009/10/06/scaling-and-moving-new-motion-tweens-in-flash-cs4/
Scaling an entire animation that does have Scale X or Scale Y animated.
If you have previously scaled anything in the tween, doing this is applied to the first keyframe and the tween would animate to the earlier scaling (the auto-keyframing feature can be a detriment in this situation, especially when it comes to scaling due to the percentages being reset - for this reason Motion Presets also won’t help). In this situation, I recommend scaling using the Motion editor:
1. Go to the Scale X and Y properties in the Motion Editor.
2. Press the Alt key while dragging the curve in each graph up and down. This scales the entire scale animation at the same time (same as edit multiple keyframes).
3. If you need to proportionally scale the motion path for the tween as well, select the path on the Stage and use Free Transform or enter a new value in the Transform panel.
I have had success with the above method, but from what I can tell you can only do one property at a time on one object at a time. So it is an awful amount of work.
As for step 2: while dragging the whole curve it seems the property value is very reluctant to snap to whole integers and I often see values like 200.35%.
Same thing applies for dragging property keyframes up and down in the motion editor. Is there a way to get nice clean numbers? I I want to scale something by 50% I don't want 49.83% I find myself often keying in these values by hand.
For me even though scale X and scale Y are "linked / locked / contstrained" It seems I get mixed results with this feature. Changing scaleX doesn't always change scaleY

Editing Multiple .AVI Tags

Please excuse my noob behavior, as this is my first post! I would like to know if it is possible to edit multiple .AVI tags simultaneously. There are several programs out there that do this for Windows. Thus far I have been unable to locate equitable software for Mac OSX. Am I missing something here, is this easier than I think? Thanks for your guidance!

ID3 tags are contained in a file, so to change them, you will have to reupload.
The iTunes U web services API does let you change a lot about the way things are displayed within the iTunes Store ... but using them may not seem simple unless you have a web services/XML guru handy. If you are such a guru, then you want to check out Chapter 6 of the iTunes U admin guide.

Editing Multiple Sheets

Is there a way to edit multiple [Shift-Select] Sheets in Numbers. Specifically I have a dozen individual sheets that I'm trying to adjust the margins on and print without gridlines.
I know how to do this on an individual sheet but it's rather tedious doing so across multiple sheets.
Thanks you.

Yes we may but we must use a precise protocol.
Shift-select the Tables (not the sheets).
From the Format Bar, select the menu allowing us to define the kind of line and set it to none.
When this is done, always in the Format Bar, we may select the menu allowing us to select the lines to edit. Select the cross which apply to cells separators.
If you apply this protocol, the lines will be removed in every selected tables.
If you start by the menu allowing us to select the lines, only one table will be modified.
Feature or bug, I don't know.

The edit multiple frames options comes handy in such case...

Brush Tool with Edit Multiple Frames

I'm doing some masking with the brush tool. Each keyframe I'm drawing a bit more of the mask. My problem is if I go back to the first keyframe and paint something it doesn't appear on the other keyframes.
I thought I found the solution with Edit Multiple Frames, but it doesn't seem to work with the brush tool.

Editing multiple keyframes the way you want is not possible (all the other tools like drawing squares etc. will only appear on the last frame, even if mutiple edit is selected).
Want You want to do is going backward: say: your mask is ten frames long, now navigate to the tenth frame insert a keyframe (you should now have 1 keyframe on the first and one on the tenth, both empty); now draw the last stage of your mask on the tenth frame. Then hold down the Alt key and drag the 10th to the 9th frame. Erase the parts you don`t want hold down Alt-Key and drag the 9th to the eight frame and so on.

How Do I Globally Edit Multiple Chapter Master Pages In a Book?

I'm working on a new edition of an existing book; the new edition will have a new trim size. I have 40 or so chapters, and I want to change the master page of all the chapters and part headings of the book. It's been about five years since I've done anything in FM, so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change the page and flow size of all the chapters in the book. Is there a way to do this globally? Or, to do it to one chapter and copy/paste those master pages to all the other chapters?
Thanks!
John

See the recent thread (about same issue for Variables).
Editing multiple chapters at once.
Same technique, just specify only Page Layouts.
And you'll probably want chapter1.fm to be the controlling instance, rather than cover.fm

Is it possible to edit multiple songs simultaneously in iTunes?

Does anybody know if it is possible to edit multiple songs in a single pass (by right clicking on all of them and then opening a single edit window or so?). I would like to be able to, for example, change the Genre of 50 songs from Electronica/Dance to Drum 'N Bass without having to do it 50 times over individually for each of the songs.

I've done this before...by selecting the multiple songs, then right clicking and selecting "get info" from the list. You can then change things like the genre, album name, grouping, compilation (Y or N)...and other changes.
