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)

  • Adjust audio on multiple clips at same time (not in same timeline)

    I have 341 individual audio clips in a bin (individual sequences) and I need to raise the dB on all of them (probably +3 or +5). I have 3 languages to do this in for a total of almost 1000 individual sequences. I'd prefer not to have to set each one manually. It's easy enough to open all timelines by selecting all, but then I have to manually adjust each sequence by selecting it then using keystrokes to up +3 or +1, then close the sequence.
    I can't use Sound Convert because I need to retain the .ima4 encoding on the audio files. Sound Convert can do a batch audio gain change - but I can't find a way to do it in Final Cut Pro. Any suggestions? Have tried Automater too - but that's tedious.
    Thank you all!

    How were these clips of yours created that they were too low to be audible? How were your sequences created without using the VU meter or with no regard for the presentation requirements? The question you need to answer is quite simple:
    Do you recapture them all properly and replace the media or do you slog through the effort required to correct the mistakes you and your team made?
    The effort required to build a hack often surpasses the effort to start from scratch. But I hope you get a decent suggestion for a script.

    Wow. Thanks for this helpful post. Must be great to never work on a project where requirements change or Apple changes specs in the 3.0 SDK that weren't there in the 2.2.1 SDK. Lucky you work on all those straight-forward and easy projects. Gosh...must be nice.

  • 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.

  • In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time?  Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

    In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time?  Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

    Can I do all at once or 1 at a time? It seems to only allow 1 at a time.
    No. But you can do one, copy its settings, then seclect the rest and "Paste Audio Settings" to all of them all at once in a project.

  • Extening multiple clips at a time relatively?

    Is it possible to extend multiple clips at a time relatively?

    Not exactly sure what you mean here. You can change the duration of multiple clips by an absolute value, e.g., add 5 seconds to a bunch of selected clips, by typing Ctrl-D and then +5. or +500 followed by enter. This will trim the clips to an additional duration, if there is enough media (this is not changing the speed of the clips).
    Do you mean changing the duration by a percentage?
    Or maybe change the speed of several clips concurrently? If you want to retime several clips - for instance, have them all play slower, say at 50% speed - then I believe the easiest way is to apply the retiming to one of the clips, and then do Paste Attributes on the other clips.
    Say you want clips A, B, C, D to all play at 50%. Do  the retiming on clip A.Cmd-C to copy. Select B, C, and D, Cmd-Shift-V to Paste Attributes. Check the Retiming box and press enter.

  • 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.

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!
    ralph
    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • Exporting multiple clips at one time

    Hi, My school has asked me to convert old videos onto DVD media for archiving and for distribution amongst all teachers in my department. Yes I am sure some will mention legal stuff here but the videos are no long made and what we have is being held together with cellophane tape or cracking laserdisc videos (remember those?).
    So far I have been able to import all the videos into iMovie. Each clip is about 1 minute or less in duration. I am now exporting one clip at a time into the requested WMV format but I can only export 1 clip at a time and I have several hundred to to. Is there a way to select multiple clips and export them one at a time without me having to select and export on clip at a time?
    thanks in advance now back to exporting....

    Never mind I am doing it one clip at a time. The school seems really happy about this since these video discs are no longer available for repurchase. Thanks.

  • 8620 scan- unable to scan multiple pics at same time & save in individual files

    Unable to scan multiple pictures at the same time on the glass flatbed & have saved into individual jpg files. Scans all the pics as one - one file. For jpgs under Advanced Settings - file tab. Checked but greyed out - create a separate file for each scanned image. I need to scan many pictures & I don't want to do them individually

    Hi Dhpakid,
    From the HP Officejet Pro 8620 software click on Scan a Document or Photo.
    Set the Scan Size as "Entire Scanner Glass".
    Change the Scan Sourse into "Flatbed Glass".
    Click the Advanced Settings button, Check the Auto-Crop option (if it is grayed out change the scan type into Photo) and click OK.
    Click the scan button and complete the scan, it will be cropped automatically into multiple files.

  • A way to connect multiple drives at same time?

    Are there any current products or soon to be released products that will allow me to place multiple bare drives into an enclosure and connect the enclosure via thunderbolt so all of the drives will be accessible at the same time on a Mac? I have a Macpro and have multiple drives in it and am trying to find a way to also do this with a new iMac.
    Thanks.

    The Elite Pro Dual + Thunderbolt Adapter
    states
    Set up as individual volumes, RAID-1 Mirror, RAID-0 Stripe, or SPAN via Apple's Disk Utility or Windows PC RAID utility.
    So it might work for you.

  • I'd like to sync two videos and edit them at the same time, possible?

    I've recently recorded a conference speaker with a camera and a screen capture of his slides I'd like to import the two video files and sync them together (they received the same audio feed) then perform very basic edits of removing any intro before the speaker and the q&a after his talk. Any tips on making this as easy as possible would be greatly appreciated. I need to have a copy of each video (headshot and screen capture) that is the same length.
