FinalCutPro Timeline playhead jumps to begining at end of last clip?

I want the playhead to stop playing when it reaches the end of the last clip instead of jumping back to Timeline 00:00 and continuing to play from there??

Disable "Loop Playback". Keyboard shortcut is Control L.

Can you adjust audio volume at the beginning and end of a clip?

I want to add portions of songs into my iMovie videos. When I do that they abruptly start and end. Is there no way to adjust add a fade at the beginning and end of an audio clip?

As said above, you cannot.
The only work around is to edit audio in an external app.
So please do suggest to Apple to add this feature in the next update.

White bar at the end of last clip in PP CC7.2

It comes up on the last frame. Any thoughts?

Yes, that is a new feature.

Clicks at beginning and end of Clip

I have a Clip that I am using as a click sound on components, and a class with static methods to play them. When you play the .wav files in an editor (Sound Forge, in this case), everything sounds and looks fine. But when I play them as a clip, I get a "click" sound at the beginning and end of the clip. During playback, everything is fine, no clicks or anything. Here is the code that actually plays the clip (abbreviated):
private static byte[] clickSound;
private static byte[] startUpSound;
private static Clip clickClip;
private static Clip startupClip;
public enum Sounds {
    CLICK, STARTUP;
public static void playSound(AudioManager.Sounds soundType) {
    Clip clip = null;
    try {
        switch (soundType) {
            case CLICK:
                if (clickSound == null) {
                    System.out.println("clickSound is null");
                    InputStream in = new Object().getClass().getResourceAsStream("/data/sounds/click.wav");
                    clickSound = new byte[in.available()];
                    in.read(clickSound, 0, clickSound.length);
                    in = null;
                    clickClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
                    clickClip.open(AudioManager.getAudioFormat(), clickSound, 0, clickSound.length);
                clip = AudioManager.clickClip;
                break;
            case STARTUP:
                if (startUpSound == null) {
                    try {
                        System.out.println("startUpSound is null");
                        InputStream in = new Object().getClass().getResourceAsStream("/data/sounds/startup.wav");
                        //System.out.println("in.available() = " + in.available());
                        startUpSound = new byte[in.available()];
                        in.read(startUpSound, 0, startUpSound.length);
                        in = null;
                        startupClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
                        startupClip.open(AudioManager.getAudioFormat(), startUpSound, 0, startUpSound.length);
                    } catch (IOException ex) {
                        // ignore any exceptions here, it just won't play the sound
                clip = AudioManager.startupClip;
                break;
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        // ignore any exceptions here, it just won't play the sound
    } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) {
        // ignore any exceptions here, it just won't play the sound
    if (clip != null) {
        try {
            clip.setFramePosition(0);
            clip.start();
        } finally {
            clip = null;
}Any ideas on what the cause of the "clicking" is at the beginning and end of the clips?

captfoss,
Thank you so much. You are 100% correct. And, I might add, you helped me catch myself on doing something that I complain about others doing: not looking things up. You figured out the problem by simply reading the javadoc, something I have always been a proponent of, but failed to do so in this case.
So thanks again! :)
I did as you prescribed, and it worked without flaw. I did, however, have to make one small modification due to the way I am storing my wav files (of which you would be unaware). I am storing them inside the same jar that I am executing from, and so I can't simply make a new File("/data/sounds/click.wav"). You have to actually write the file to the disc first, then create the file reference, like this:
InputStream in = new Object().getClass().getResourceAsStream("/data/sounds/click.wav");
File tempWav = File.createTempFile("click", ".wav");
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(tempWav));
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while ((in.read(buffer))!=-1){
    out.write(buffer);
out.close();
AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(tempWav);
clickClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
//clickClip.open(AudioManager.getAudioFormat(), clickSound, 0, clickSound.length);
clickClip.open(ais);The system complains about having a non-hierarchical reference if I don't write it to a temp file first. Is there a way around that too? I can award you more points in another thread, if you'd like.
I could do that anyways if the Duke points mean anything to you. :)

Narrations have "pop" noise at begining and end

Hopefully this is an easy question for the experts out there. Whenever I add audio to a clip (either through narration or adding a .wav file), I get a "pop" sound at the beginning and end of the clip (sounds like the microphone is being turned on and off). Is there a way of getting rid of this without fading in and out the audio? By the way, this doesn't happen with audio that is transferred into the workspace with video (ex. pulling in a DVD .vob file).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

FCPX cross-dissolve on only one end of a clip?

How do you apply an effect (in this case, Cross-Dissolve) to only the beginning or end of a clip? The program automatically applies the effect to both ends of a clip, and I have to delete the one I don't want (added step, added time, time is money, blah blah blah )
Here's what I'm trying to do: I have my main storyline, and in a secondary storyline I want to fade a clip in at a certain point...but I don't want it to fade out. Adding the cross-dissolve at the beginning saves a lot more time than keyframing the opacity.
Yeah, I'll say the same thing everyone else does: "Well, that's what I did in legacy FCP. How do I do it in FCPX?"
Thanks in advance.

hit cmd T but why? where has copy/cut/paste/add transition et al gone from the right click? It just seems a backward step having to use a keyboard again. Sadly I can now no longer use a programed 15 button edit shuttle/controller under my left hand and a five button hyper scroll mouse under the right. Hardly ever used the keyboard in previous versions. This has to be a backward step. Forever tippy tap on the keyboard...so so slow, wasted seconds for extra moves just to get something to happen. Are we all forgetting just how fast it was to apply a transition, copy then bang bang bang along the timeline pasting it in the joins?

Playhead jumps to the beginning of the timeline

Hi, since my update it often happens that the playhead jumps to the beginning of the timeline when I'm busy in the middle of mine project. But when I push the spacebar the film starts at the spot were I want to put the playhead. But in the timeline the playhead is going over the beginning of the project. So I can't see what I'm doing and this is very annoying. Every time I have to scroll back to that place. Has someone the same problems and is this a bug or do I do something wrong? Who can help me?

KeesB, a few of us have discovered the same problem and discussed about on this post. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16257815#16257815

Timeline playhead goes back to beginning when it hits end

Is there a preference or something somewhere I need to
turn off to prevent the playhead in the timeline from
going back to the beginning of the timeline and start
playing again from the beginning, after it plays through
the entire timeline once and it's the end?
Thanks.

Why not mark it as 'Answered' (which you should do anyway) then post what you did to fix it. That would help others who encounter the same problem.

Playhead will no longer position itself in between clips in Final Cut Pro X timeline

I have been using Final Cut Pro X and it used to position the playhead in between clips with ease so I could drag down the audio and position it at the exact placement of playhead where I wanted it at the beginning of a new clip. However, now the playhead is not going to the beginning and end of clips, or inbetween clips and when I drag down the audio it won't go exact where the playhead is. I feel like it must have something to do with the settings, I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

The up/down arrow keys jump to Edit Points. There should be no space between clips, so getting "inbetween" clips is not technically acurate. You're either on the first frame fo the incoming clip, or the last frame of the outgoign clip. First frame of the incoming clip is what you want.
Yes, be sure snapping is on, and use the up/down arrow keys.

Why is it when I add photos from iPhoto onto an iMovie project, it is not displayed when I play the movie from beginning to end, although I can see it in the (edit) format?

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering why is it that when I place an image from iPhoto to an iMovie project, it is not displayed when I play it from beginning to end in fullscreen playback mode? However, when I exit it on the timeline, it is shown. All I did as drag it from the iPhoto column and place on at the beginning. I would really appreciate someones help because I really need to be able to place images onto my projects. Thanks!

Playhead jumps back a beat and a half every time I press play

Hey Everyone,
Having a very strange problem here where I'll position the Playhead where I want to start playing, press the space bar to begin playback, and the play head will jump a beat and a half behind its current position and start playing from this earlier point. If the track is already playing, and I click a position, the playhead jumps exactly where I indicated and continues playing from there. The problem only occurs when I stop playback, position the playhead, and press play. Anyone seen this before? Any Idea how to fix it?
Thanks!

Why does timeline play twice before going to end action?

I have created a sub menu of motion graphics videos. Each is on a separate timeline with the end action going to another timeline. (Timeline1 jumps to Timeline 2, etc.) The final timeline jumps back to the sub menu. I have checked all links and everything is okay but when I burned the disk and watch it, each timeline plays twice before jumping to the end action.
Any ideas? Would it be better to put them all on one timeline and jump to different chapters?
Thanks.

Out of curiosity, were there other Overrides? They can be applied to so many places, that going back to locate them all can be a daunting task.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I think that Adobe needs to have a pop-up message, whenever one applies an Override, "Are you sure that you want to do this? Are you REALLY sure? Maybe call Jeff Bellune first, as you will likely be sorry... "

Playhead jumps back two beats when hitting play

Playhead jumps back two beats when I press play for one of my GarageBand projects; doesn't occur in other projects. Is there an obscure setting that will fix this problem?
This occurs whether I'm playing or recording. It occurs with or without cycle region. If the cycle region is turned on, the playhead will jump to two beats before the beginning of the region before starting the cycle playback.
"Count In" turned off.
This issue sapped my entire evening; any help would be appreciated a lot!

Setting motion keyframes on head and end of a clip in the timeline

I've been exeriencing a weird problem lately.
If I throw a clip into the timeline, then double click it
back into the viewer, then use CONTROL K to place keyframes
across all motion perameters at the head of the clip, THEN hit the down arrow button to get to the end of the clip so I can make adjustments and have keyframes placed at the end of the clip, the process of hitting the down arrow to get to the end of the clip actually takes me to the head of the next clip in the timeline and up in the Viewer keyframe viewer.
If I use the left arrow to move one frame backwards to try and get to last frame of the clip I actually want to place a keyframe on the end of, it doesn't get
me back to the original clip...I've still got the second clip up in the Viewer motion keyframe area.
It's been requiring me to reload the clip from the timeline again, drag the viewer playhead to the end of the clip being careful to not accidentally go past the end of the clip, or it again goes into the next clip and it's impossible to navigate back to the first clip without double clicking it back up into the window.
So long question...after having placed keyframes at the very head of a clip double clicked back into the viewer from the timeline, how do I quickly get to the end of the clip to place my changed keyframe perameters, without overshooting the clip and running into the next?

To get to the Out point of the current clip, instead of the next clip/edit, you need to press Shift-O.
Also helpful: pressing Shift-I takes you to the In point.

TS3623 IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOVIE ... APPLE TV STOPS WORKING. I HAVE YET TO WATCH A MOVIE FROM BEGINNING TO END WITHOUT APPLE TV LOSING ITS CONNECTION TO MY NETWORK

I PURCHASED MY APPLE TV ON FEBRUARY 7, 2012. I HAVE YET BEEN ABLE TO WATCH AN ITUNES PURCHASED MOVIE FROM BEGINNING TO END WITHOUT IT LOSING ITS CONNECTION TO MY NETWORK.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
