Help! I deleted video clips and my cache file by mistake

Is there any way to recover these in Final Cut Express 2?
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Did you actually delete the clips from your Scratch Disk? If you just deleted them from FCE you can Import them again from your Capture Scratch folder. If you deleted them from the Scratch disk an did not Empty Trash, recover them from Scratch. If you emptied .. er... wow.
If you clips are really gone, you can always use Capture Project to bring them back from your DV tapes; they will come into your project with all edit points, filters, setting etc. intact. That is, as long as you properly logged your reel settings

Have accidentally deleted video clips and now an iMovie project won't play (did initially after deletion but no longer). Is there any way to rectify this? I have a very upset daughter as the video was her holiday memories....

I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
Any help gratefully received

There's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space.

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

What audio output are you using? What mac and version iMovie

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

Need to remove video clip and save audio track.

We are trying to remove a segment of video clip and save the audio track that goes with it. We intend to fill that open segment with transitions of still photos, all the while allowing the narrator, who has now been "clipped" to keep speaking.
We are using CS3 Premier Pro.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your wisdom...

Mary,
I find that just Alt-clicking on the Video and hitting Delete to be the quickest method. That does exactly the same as Unlinking, with two keystrokes - Atl-click Video, Del key.
Hope that helps,

Audio from video clip and layering

ok, I need help! I finally figured out how to take audio from a video clip and place it over pictures or layer it over other audio. Now, I want to start with a video clip, it happens to be an interview, cut away to some pictures or other muted video, and come back to the interview, all with the audio playing the whole time and lined up correctly....how do i do this? THANKS!!

Thanks David
I found this here http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#tutorial=extendaudio
To extend audio across multiple clips:
1. In the Project area, select the clip that contains the audio you’d like to extend into a second clip. Select the last few seconds of the first clip that contain the audio you want.
2. To split the first clip, choose Edit > Split Clip.
3. Control-click the selected clip and choose “Reveal in Event Browser.”
4. In the Event browser, Command-Shift-drag the clip to extract the audio and place it at the start of the next clip.
5. Delete the video portion of the clip you split in step 2.
Because you’ve extracted the audio from exactly the part of the clip you split, the audio seamlessly plays across the next shot
I am going to try this tonight and see how easy it is

How to delete overwrite clip and bring back original material

First project on any Premiere. Using Windows Premiere Pro CS6.
I have a long (three minute) clip on Video 1 timeline I'll call "Original" with Audio on Audio 1. I'm Overwriting short video clips and placing these short clips onto Video 1.
(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
Anyhow, I've got one of these short clips I want to delete from the Video 1 timeline and end up with the Original clip playing video and audio with no gaps in video or audio and no holes (causing a jump) in the Original clip.
When I choose the Ripple Delete, the short overwrite video clip deletes, and the gap goes away. But I'm left with a jump cut and a "seam" at the cut point!
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
This is easy and it's just late, right?

(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
If you'd rather put it on video track 2, go ahead, when you add a transition to- or from video2 (on the beginning or end of the desired clip on V2) it will transition to/from video 1.
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
exactly what Jon said.

Inserting video clip and have both audios at once

Hi everyone, hopefully somone can help answer my question. My friend has a video blog and the person who used to do all of his technical stuff is no longer with him, so he's trying to figure it all out, and I figured I'd try to help him.
In iMovie, does anyone know how to insert a video clip into the main video clip and have the inserted video being shown on the screen but the audio of both videos playing at the same time, with no break in continuity of the main video's audio? Then, how to transition from the inserted video with both audios playing at the same time back to just the main video, again with no breaks in audio continuity? I know it's possible on FinalCut Pro, because that is what his tech person used, but for some reason that program freezes my friend's computer, so he's stuck with iMovie for now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for your reply devbear11. You ALMOST got what I was asking for. I'm sorry if my wording is confusing, lol. Everything you said is great, EXCEPT that I want to KEEP the audio on the inserted video in ADDITION to the audio on the original clip. So to break it down....
- Main video clip is playing.
- Segue into the inserted video clip. Have the screen be showing the inserted video clip and have it be playing it's own audio, WITHOUT interrupting the audio of the original/main video.
- Inserted video clip plays on the screen and you hear both the audio of the inserted video clip in addition to whatever my friend is saying on the main audio....To give you an example, my friend blogs about figure skating. So he will be discussing a competition and the screen is showing him at his desk talking about the different skaters. While he is discussing a certain skater, he may input a clip of their performance and you will see and hear them skating to their music, but still be able to hear him discussing it uninterrupted in the background.
- Once the inserted clip ends, the video switches back to my friend at his desk, with his commentary uninterrupted.
Am I making sense? lol

Trimming video clips and "lightening them up."

Hi, if anyone can answer this for me, I'd appreciate it!
I've got a 14GB video clip in a iMovie file, and I want to cut and paste a small part of it into another file. When I try, the small clip still appears to be 14 GB and would take 130 minutes to paste into the new file. Is there any way to lighten up these clips so they can be moved quicker? I'm using a new MacBookPro.
Thanks for your time and help.

I take it video quality will remain the same. I'll try it out right away.
.. it should be the same as done with copy/paste...
post us some feedback...

Trying to relink video clips and getting "import reporting a generic error" using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Mac

Did you find a solution? I'm having this same problem.

How do I adjust video clip and audio start times?

I cant figure out how to adjust the start time of video clips and songs. I want my music and video clips to start at different times. I am trying to have music and pictures start at the same time at the begining of the movie then transition into my videos at a specific time. Also i am wondering if there is a way to combine the whole video and image segment into one block and be able to shift it up and down the timeline? Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

instead of adding music to the background, 'stick' the music-clip to your video clip => the music appears as a green bar, you can move, shorten etc as any other clip.

not in iMovie.
this is one of the major features (grouping and magentic timeline) of FCPX

Recovery of deleted video clip from camera roll

How can I recover a deleted video clip from camera roll?

Is the deleted clip contained in a backup that you have? If so, restore from that backup. Please note that all content created on the phone since the backup was done will be lost

Accidentally deleted video clip, can I recover?

It's not a good idea to post your email address on the Internet.
No, once you delete something from the iPad it is gone.
