FCPX - Viewing portions of clips used

Hi
Once you've imported clips into the FCPX event library, is there some way to view which portions of clips have been used in a project? In iMovie, used clips have an orange line running through them in the Event Library...

Right now, you have to manually take care of this by adding a keyword to anything you add to the timeline (you can also make it a "favorite" by pressing 'F'). Then in the event browser you can choose that keyword (or choose to only see "Favorite" clips) to see that content. If you use 'F', you would see a green line, which is most close to what you describe in iMovie. Be aware though, if you trim the clips in the timeline, that doesn't get reflected in the event browser.
Once you have added a clip to the timeline, you can select it, and press shift-F (match frame) to have it reselected in the event browser. This would let you retro-actively add a keyword or make it a favorite clip.

Synchronize clip: uses wrong audio

So, I'm trying to do a simple synch--creating a clip with DSLR video, BUT with clean audio from my main camera clip. (I've good audio waveforms and a "clapper" to boot.)
But, FCPX keeps creating a clip using the crappy audio attached to the DSLR clip. How can I get the software to use the "good" audio--to trap the VIDEO from the DSLR but to ignore the audio associated with same?

SSelect the synchronized clip and in the Audio inspector look in channel configuration.

How to combine video clips into one video clip using FCPX

I typed this into the search engine but could not come up with anything. How do you combine Video clips into one Video clip using FCPX? Thanks in advance.
Gar

The simple answer is to put the clips together in a project in the desired order and export (oops, the new word is share [YUK!]) a master file.
But maybe you should say a little more about the clips to determine whether the answer I've given is relevant to yor situation.

How do I invert a selection in iMovie 11/ delete unused portions of clips

I want to delete unused portions of clips:
In iMovie 11 an orange bar appears at the bottom of a clip to show that that portion of the clip is being used in a project.
If I click on the orange bar, the yellow clip selection extends to that portion of the clip.
I want to invert the selection so that the portion of the clip that is not used is selected so that I can reject it and later delete unused portions.
If there is another way to do that then great...
Thanks
David

I think it might be easier to first finish the project with all that extra video clip lying around and then use the Space Saver to tidy things up. It's under the File Menu and is always done at the very end when you have already Finalized your project.
From the iMovie Help:
In the Event Library, select one or more Events.
To select more than one Event at a time, press Command as you click Event names.
Choose File > Space Saver.
The File menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
Select any of the following:
To reject all of the video that hasn’t been added to an iMovie project, select “Not added to any project.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked as “favorite,” select “Not marked as Favorite.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked with a keyword, select “Not marked with a keyword.”
Click “Reject and Review.”The view changes to show only the rejected clips in the selected Events.
*Note: This is not the full listing of Help for the Space Saver function but you get the idea. It seems as though Apple thinks it's a much better use of your time to put off the house keeping tasks like cleaning up unused video until after you have Finalized the project.

Why does FCPX crash every time I use plug-in effects?

I don't understand why FCPX crashes every time I use a plug-in effect. I install the plug-in effects in the Effects folder - User/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects - and I apply the plug-in effect to the clip in the timeline, but as soon as the clip is in the viewer and I open the inspector FCPX crashes. Why does this happen??
I have tried different plug-in effects, but it crashes every time I try to use the them.
I use a FCPX trial (10.0.1) and I don't have motion 5 installed.

Ok, I need to 'fess up. The issue turns out was not the plug-in. It was my NAS. My Ethernet config was changed then changed back again so although the NAS seemed fine and accessible after the changes, clearly not everything was perfect. The FCP Events and the Project itself I am working on live on the NAS and I work directly from it. A reboot cleared up the whole problem. Dah, I'm such an idiot.
Sorry Noise Industries! Everything is good!

Multiclip angle goes black in viewer for certain clips

Hi all,
I have the strangest thing happening. I have two 45 min clips used in a multiclip. I edited the whole thing switching and cutting between the two and whatnot. So, now when I go back to it, on certain clips one camera angle will be blacked out in the viewer only (when multiple angles are showing in the viewer).
Also, under the playhead sync drop down menu in the top center of the viewer window, the 2nd camera angle isn't available as an option. It only see's the first one.
I wonder if this is a bug? It is extremely annoying because I can no longer switch camera angles for those clips.
Anyone else have this happen?

hey Pete
theres another thread I think you may already have spotted
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=213768&tstart=0
... anyway, in case not, the gist seems to be that rendering (manually or because of auto-render) whilst still building an active multiclip edit causes some problems with the playback.
try toggling off/on track visibility so as to lose any renders on the sequence (or copy and paste your cut into a new sequence, or using the Tools > Render Manager... to delete your renders for the sequence etc etc)
hope it helps

Trimming original clips using a paper EDL

i have searched the manuals without success, can you help with the following, I am a still photographer not a video editor and trying to do the basics?
i am trying to find a way of trimming the original clips down
i have been given-
1 a final cut pro nested sequence of the camera rushes that has a burntin timecode window using the generator filter, this shows the timecode of the timeline not the timecode of the camera tape
2 the original camera clips on an AV hard disc drive
3 a printed list with picture and sound descriptions of each clip and the coresponding time codes for the in and out points to be applied to the clips
i have learned to do the following; in the timeline if i type the timecode of the first clips inpoint, the play head indeed goes to the correct position described in the EDL
i perform match frame and it finds the correct point on the clip but it looses the edit points when i go to the next clip
how do i trim the original clips, i cant trim the timeline, it has burned in time code?
thanks for your patince and understanding
Mark

Match frame finds the frame in the original clip used in the sequence. once it has found the original clip you would need to type in the TC for the in in the upper right corner of the viewer window,hit enter and press the "i" key on the keyboard that will give you your inpoint. next type in the out tc from your list,hit enter and press the "o" key to set your out. drag the clip from the viewer into your new sequence or on a new layer on a duplicate of the original sequence. to duplicate a sequence hilite the sequence in the browser and from the edit menu "duplicate" you can now work off of that sequence and if you mess something up you still have your original sequence

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

How do I synchronize multiple *sequential* clips using audio waveforms in Premiere Pro CC?

I recorded a concert at my kids' school. I ended up with:
Video in six separate clips (video+audio) from my Canon 5D Mark III camera
A single audio clip from my Zoom H4n recorder
The 5D Mark III can only record clips of up to 4GB in size, and clips 30 minutes in length. The clips broken up by the 4GB size limit are adjacent to each other, but the clips broken up by the 30-minute limit have a stop-pause-restart gap of a few second.
On past such projects, I have used PluralEyes 3.0 to synchronize the clips. But PluralEyes converts each stereo audio track into dual mono tracks, which I don't like.
I just happened upon this video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/merge-clips-automatically-using-audio-wave forms/?t=0 It shows how to synchronize a single video+audio clip with another audio clip. It also shows how to synchromize multiple concurrent video+audio clips with another audio clip, for multi-camera editing. But it doesn't show how to synchronize multiple sequential video+audio clips, as I got from my Canon 5D Mark III.
It seems that every time I select multiple video clips, the Synchronize item in the pop-up menu is disabled. When I select only the first video clip and the full-duration audio clip, I can synchronize them with audio waveforms. But then when I try to select the second video clip and the full-duration audio clip and synchronize them, it breaks the sync of the first video cilp
Can Premiere Pro CC synchronize multiple sequential video clips using the audio waveform method?
I am running Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.1 (4).
Thanks.

I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
Hope that all makes sense.

How could I find which i-views/pages are being used

Hello
I am pritty new in portal area. I have to administrate an ESS/MSS portal during hollydays. I am trying to find everywhere the way.
How could I find which i-views/pages are being used. Let say I can see which group I belong and which roles are behind.
How could I know in which PCD folder they are taken into account (to e.g give permission to someone not in the group)

HI,
the user administration (UME) gives you the information about the user <-> group <-> role assignment.
When you know the role, search in the PCS for it, open the role and you will see all the pages / iviews assigned to the role.

Add fields to maintenance view and update then using events

Hi experts:
I've created a table with 4 fields, one of them is userid. Also, there is a maintenance view to add new entries.
I want to display user name when typing userid using events (1 or 21). I know how to do it if username is one of the fields of the table, but there is a requirement to not store username in the table, just userid.
My question is: is possible to add a field into the maintenance view and update it using events but not store the value in DB?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carlos.

In the save event just clear the entries of the field(user name) in the internal table.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.

If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.
