How can I tell if I used a clip in FCE?

In iMovie, clips that are used are marked with a stripe. Is there a way to identify used clips (or parts of clips) in FInal Cut Express? I have looked everywhere.

Unfortunately not. Most people manually keep track of the media they've used. I personally keep a "Used" bin in the browser and drag all used clips into it. Here's a bit more information:

  • PAL or NSTC, how can i tell what format the vid clip is?

    The 2nd abbreviation might be wrong...
    concerning vid clips
    How can you tell what format clips are in before iMovie tells you?
    I don't want to combine the formats and cannot figure a way to tell the difference before trying to burn the dvd

    At the top of the iMovie project window it will tell you by giving the name you gave to the project as well as 'DV NTSC, or DV NTSC Widescreen.
    Somewhat confusingly, when you set your choice of NTSC or PAL in iMovie's preferences when starting a new project (you can't switch later), these are only identified as 29.95 fps (which is NTSC) and 25 fps (which is PAL). Once you have set that, all iMovie projects you start will default to the same until you change it. You cannot combine the formats in the same project.
    As you are in the USA yours will probably default to NTSC which is the TV system you use there. In Europe we set it to PAL which is what we use here.
    A bit rudely, we also say that NTSC stands for 'Never The Same Colour Twice'!
    PAL used to stand for 'Prolongs Active Life', but that was actually the tag-line in a dog food commercial! But they are useful mnemonics to remember them by!

  • How can I tell what is using up the space on my hard drive?

    My computer has been messing up for a while, giving me the message "startup disc almost full". I only have 4 gb free space now, after throwing all my photos and music onto external drive. What is making my disc so full? All the rest of my files are text? How can I figure out what is taking up so much space? Thanks

    Moving iTunes music is more involved than a simple
    drag and drop affair; you would be making copies on
    some other media, but could be leaving duplicates or
    originals on the hard drive in the process. Same with
    images and iPhoto derived items. There are some
    Apple Support documents on how to manage these.
    The user folder has things in it you have installed;
    generally your saved items would be found in there.

  • How can I tell *who* is using a shared folder on my Mac?

    I've searched high and low looking for a way to (1) get notified when someone connects to my Mac via AFP, and (2) see who is connected. Except for the System Preferences->Sharing panel, which will reveal how many users are connected, there's nothing I can find that will tell me anything about current AFP connections.
    Perhaps there's a third-party utility that will do this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    And that "Who is connected" looks real neat!
    It is a bit of a letdown, actually. I just tried it, could only get it to show that there is someone connected, but not how many or who they are. And then I saw this right on their webpage itself:
    Known bugs and limitations:
    - Who Is Connected? doesn't do everything that it says on the tin (yet)...it doesn't list individual connections at a given point in time. Sorry, it almost does what it says on the tin, and it may well do one day, but not quite yet.
    At this time, Who Is Connected? seems more useful for SSH than AFP. Well, unfortunately I never use SSH...
    I got a little more out of Network Utility. It's more cryptic, you kind of have to know what all the code means, after clicking all the buttons I was able to locate something that said "afp" and identify the IP address of my other connected Mac but a lot of Mac users wouldn't even know to look for that.
    I guess this problem is crying out for a solution that is truly Mac-like in its readability.

  • How can I tell MDT to use the efisys_noprompt.bin as the bootloader used to create the litetouch.iso

    I would like to have an iso file that does not have the "press any key to boot from cd/dvd" prompt. I know how to do this manually but I would like to be able to set this somewhere so that MDT will use it whenever the iso is updated. Is there
    a script file somewhere with the command given to oscdimg that can be edited? 

    It's not so much that I think it's unimportant, as that I think you new to MDT, and may be doing things wrong.
    I can't think of a scenario of why you would want to do this, and I have written on my blog about the dangers of mucking around with the BIOS boot order with respect to USB boot drives. There are too many users who don't understand how the system work, or
    what the ramifications are when you change these settings.
    Sure you can remove the bootfix.bin file on BIOS machines to remove the "press any key to..." prompt from DVD media and the like, however if the BIOS settings are configured for DVD before the Hard Disk, you will keep booting into the Litetouch BOot media,
    which is a *horrible* experience for users. on BIOS machines, for example, I have had much better luck of marking boot partitions as Inactive in order to *FORCE* the DVD to boot (Yes the bootfix.bin file will skip the prompt on the DVD *if* there is not hard
    disk marked active).
    Asking "Why would you want to do that? What are you trying to accomplish?" is a perfectly valid question on a technical alias like this.

  • HT201303 How can you tell which devices used the Apple ID? For example: "twoPads, 2 iPhones and 1 computer used your Apple ID ?"

    I believe my kid gave somebody my password to download something. And I want to know who? Can it say  For example: "2 iPads, 2 iPhones and 1 computer used your Apple ID ?"

    Only if they went to the trouble of setting their device up as a "Managed Device" on your ID.
    Change your password.

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!
    -Monty

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

  • How can I tell if a user has used IMAP?

    How can I tell if a user has used IMAP?
    <P>
    Check their mailbox for a file called "__VALIDITY__" If they have this
    file in their mailbox, they've used IMAP.

    You may want to refer to the Java Security forum at http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=545 for information on Kerberos & JAAS.
    There is a also a post in this forum, outlining how to utilise Kerberos, JAAS with JNDI to access Active Directory. JNDI, Active Directory and Authentication (Part 1) (Kerberos)

  • How can I tell if WES610N is using 5 GHz band?

    Hello,
    I'm using a WES610N Media Connector with my Blu-Ray player to stream video.  The router is an EA3500 -- I used the smart, one-touch WiFi setup to do the setup for the WES610N.
    How can I tell if the Media Connector is using the 5 GHz band vs. the 2.4 GHz band?
    Is there a way t interrogate it while it is connected to my Blu-Ray player in another room?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bill

    Yes. Agreed with sabretooth. There's no way for us to identify on what band your WES610N is connected to unless you'll create a different SSID's on both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz bands.
    If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

  • How can I tell if my computer is using ethernet or wireless for downloads?

    Hi,
    My computer is hooked up via ethernet to my router (base station) which is connected to my DSL modem, and I also have my Airport on because I have extended my network with an airport express so I can stream music to my stereo across the room using iTunes.
    I've noticed in the Airport menu that my computer is connected also to my wireless network which I use for getting online with my iPad.
    Can I assume that my computer will use ethernet and NOT wireless for accessing the internet, downloading files, etc?
    How can I tell which network connection is being used? Are there tools for monitoring the network that would allow me to easily determine if a particular download is going over the ethernet or the wireless connection?
    Clearly, I want to use the hard line ethernet connection for everything and use the wifi only for my streaming music function for speed purposes...
    Thanks!!!!
    Elisabeth

    Hi,
    Internet is served on the priority basic from the System Prefrences Network pane.
    If ethernet is on top you getting it from ethernet if Airport and so on...
    So depending on internet speeds set the priority to access fast internet speeds.

  • Updating PS CC 2014--how can I tell if I am using the latest version?

    I just updated Bridge, PS and LR from the Creative Cloud, but when I went to use them, I was still using the old versions despite the fact that CC said I had updated to the latest versions.  A thread in the LR forum led me to sign out and back into Creative Cloud, and that did the trick for LR.  However, I cannot discern any changes in PS.  How can I tell if I am using the latest version of PS?  When I click on About Photoshop, the popup says:
    TIA.

    that's the latest ps as of today.

  • HT1338 Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think it worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
    From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say:  v10.8
    If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    FYI ..  for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
