How do I join 2 clips in the timeline so that they "snap" together?

This is probably a very, very simple answer, but I cannot get it to work right. Here's my situation.
I trimmed a clip. So now there is a gaping hole in my timeline. Sure, I could drag the other after it until it matches up and plays continously with the one previous. However, I divided my clip into multiple clips and if that were the only solution I would have to drag the following to the one before it....for each one!
So I guess my question is 2-fold. How do I select multiple clips (everything after the cut?)...and then make them match up to the clip before the "gaping hole", so that there is not just blank footage for a couple seconds?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Joost!! It was driving me nuts! And it makes me feel a little better that Manuel was stumped also
You guys hit the nail on the head. With the integration with Premeire now, I have already heard some people switch from Resolve and start using Speedgrade. Now if only the mask issues can be addressed
For what it's worth I may have beaten you to it (sort of). Look on YouTube for Speedgrade CC quick guide and zombie (don't ask, you'll see)
That said, I'd love to see what you come out with, and apparently it's time for me to come out with a "part 2". Thanks again!!

How do I link clips in the timeline so that they move together?

I cannot seem to effectively link my clips together in the timeline and it is causing me multiple problems. First of all, when I want to move a clip from one place to another, the other clips after it are not moving forward to close the gap. I tried grouping the whole lot of clips together but then I cannot move individual clips without ungrouping them. Other problems are occuring as I try to solve this problem; the audio seems to have separated from the video so that if I do move a clip, the associated audio isn't going with it. It's frustrating. Someone can help with this easy problem surely. I've only just started using Premiere CS6 so I am a novice.

Gaps dont automatically close.
Moving multiple clips you can do that in different ways: lassoing, using the track selection tool, shift click and so on.

How do I hide a clip in the timeline?

How do I hide a clip in the timeline? In the old version, at the far left of the timeline, there was a green button with a filmstrip icon. Clicking that toggled the clip on and off to let me see the clip below it. Where is that button now?
FCP X 10.1.1
Mac OS 10.9.1
iMac 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5
shoe size 10.5

I have the full version of FCP-X on a new Mac. I still have my old FCP-6 on my old Mac.
I have something in FCP-X that looks like rows (tracks) in the timeline. I have several clips that form a horizontal line and directly under that is another horizontal row of clips. I call them rows or tracks. Maybe that is not the correct term. I just tried to create additional rows, and created six tracks (horizontal rows) each containing multiple clips. FCP plays only the top clip, which is the same as the old version.
I have found a way to disable a single clip, but what I want to do, and it was as easy as pressing the green button in FCP-6, is to temporarily disable the entire row of clips.
Often I have multiple cameras shooting the same event. I want to quickly disable one camera view and see the one below it. If the video is chopped up into small segments, then It would take too long to disable each clip individually.
I wish they would have kept the old features when they upgrade the software.

How do I select multiple clips in the timeline!?

Ok, not quite as simple as the subject! This is what I want to do:
Just finished a multi camera edit and I now need to color correct and grade the footage. So, now that I've corrected the color on camera angle number 1 I want to apply that effect to all the clips in the timeline that come from that camera angle. How do I apply that effect to all those clips without having to do some manually. In FCP its possible to search for all timeline clips that come from a specific file. When those are highlighted it's possible to paste an effect onto all those clips.
So, how do I do that in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks!

Had to create proxies of my Canon 7d footage to achieve smooth playback but it's worked out fairly well so far!
I'm surprised that the DSLR Preset for the Canon footage still required proxy files. I thought that would handle the 5D/7D MOV files just fine. Maybe I was mis-informed.
The good news is that it's working for you, so things are good.
Good luck,

How do I locate a clip in the timeline from the browser

I am using FCE and I know that I can locate a clip from the timeline by using shift F.
I want to check on a clip in the browser and find where it is in the timeline. How do I do that?

Open the clip from the browser into the viewer. Press the F key. If the clip is used in the timeline, the playhead will move to the clip.

How do I duplicate a clip from the timeline?

In a sports video I want to duplicate a clip to the project files, then stretch the time of the clip to slow motion, add a title that says " Let's watch that in slow motion" and then insert the slow motion clip after the original clip to make sort-of an instant replay for my grandson. I don't know how to duplicate the clip and put it in "project files" and I'm not sure the best way to make the file a slow motion file. I've looked at the "Help" section but for some reason the blue links there don't function to lead me to the video clips of explanation.

You may be over thinking this. There are easier ways. Jim's way is simple to use.
Or, how about this instead?
Put the clip on the timeline at full speed, then put it on the timeline again, and stretch the time to show it at 25% speed (for example). Put the title over the slower clip and that's it.
This example video shows me putting the video on the timeline, then putting in a title I have already prepared over a copy of the clip held on the last frame, then the same video but set for slow motion using Time Remapping.
If the clip had been longer, I would have eased into the slow motion gradually over the first three seconds or so, but this clip just wasn't long enough for that.

How can I lock video clips to the timeline?

Hello Apple discussion.
I know that holding down the command key disable ripping when triming.
But that doesn't work when deleting clips. It would be useful to lock videoclips to the timeline, so they keep their position.
Lock audio to playhead doesn't help the situation.
Thank you for your time
Attila

You cannot lock a video clip to the timeline. The program is designed so that when you delete a video clip, the other clips slide over to fill the gap. Otherwise you would have holes all over your project, or have to manually move them over. You would want to lock the audio clips to the non-deleted video clips, so that the audio slides over with them.
If you want to preserve the gap left by a deleted video clip, first insert in front of it a black clip of the same exact duration, and then delete the video clip. The black clip would hold all of the other clips in position, but leave you with a black hole to fill or delete. To make a black clip, separate two video clips on the timeline, and control-click on the empty space. In the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then control-click on the black clip and in the resulting window adjust the time duration by overwriting the values in the time box and then clicking the Set button.

How Do you Replace Still Clips in the Timeline?

I have a slide show set up with KB on and fades in and out and I need to replace some of the images. I can't seem to replace any of my images in the timeline, now. I tried the Paste Over at Playhead, but that doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens.
Can this be done? Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Robert

It shouldn't be doing that. Sometimes permissions and preferences get corrupted and need to be repaired or deleted.
Do this common maintenance: To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then repair permissions by using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive icon at the top of the left side bar of the Disk Utility window. Then click on the repair permissions button and wait a few minutes while permissions are repaired. When it is finished, restart your computer and relaunch iMovie and see if you still have the editing problem. iMovie will recreate the plist file that you deleted.
One caution: Do not empty the project trash until your project is completely finished, or you will be unable to edit a photo that has had the KB effect applied to it. You would have to reimport the photo to work on it again. This is due to a bug in iM6.

IMovie How do you join video clips that have been split

In Imovie project, How do I join video clips that been split

Hi
And if the clips are not contiguous - Then You have to do as in all versions of iMovie from the very beginning.
• Put the clips into one new project
• Export this as full quality QuickTime movie
• Import this new merged QT-clip into Your main project
This is a way around that are very basic and used whenever more elaborated scenes are prepared - e.g. multiple text clips or when in need of adding several functions into it.
Tedious - but it always been like this - in contrast to FinalCut.

How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

Title says it all!
How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
I hope PP is smart enough to do this
Thanks in advance!

Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

How do I see every frame of a clip on the timeline in Premier ?

There are of course times when I need to see every frame of a clip to synchronize two clips. Imagine for example that you have a two camera shoot and both cameras were looking at a clapstick, or at a strobe. I want to put both clips on the timeline and zoom in to see every frame. Now I can align the two clips fo that one specific frame of each clip is over/under each other. However, when I have zoomed into the timeline it seems I can never zoom quite enough to see every frame What do I do to be able to zoome all the way in to the timeline so I can see every frame of the clips ? I haven't actually tried this yet with CC, but did with CS6 and it wouldn't do it.

I'm not knocking the idea of using the program monitor to place markers on sync points and using that to synchronize clips. It should be a very good solution.
What I am saying is that there are times when it would be advantageous to be able to see every frame of multiple clips on the timeline. When i first tried to do that I zoomed in and it looked as if it would display all the frames. I was dissappointed to find it wouldn't. As an editor who has done a lot of resynchronizing multiple camera shoots where there is no intentional visual sync cue, i can tell you it can be a big help to be able to see the frames as if we had a strip of film on each timeline. Sometimes we need to see several frames of each clip at the same time to make a decision about which frame represents the sync point, or to make the quickest possible decision about where to start and end a dissolve, or to chose which camera to use. In a scene shot with only one camera, there is no actual sync point. The action may have progressed slightly differently between shots. Being able to see 10 or 15 frames from each shot can help to make the quickest decision about how to line up the shots and where to do the transition. Would anyone out there say it would be a bad thing if Premier Pro could display every frame when we zoom all the way in ? It seems to me that it could only help. So i request Adobe consider it as a possible future improvement.
Here is an example, the last time i tried to see every frame in Premier. I had a scene I used Maya to create, series of Tiffs. This scene shows an object appearing as if arriving through a time or dimensional portal. The scene includes plasma popping and flashing. There are two different shots of the same moment in time. The shots are frame numbered. So if I could see the frame numbers from the original tiffs on the timeline I could align the shots that way. But of course I lose the frame numbers. The overall scene is too long, and rendering time too long, especially for 3-D 1080, to render each shot from the beginning of the scene, which would make synchronizing very easy. So i needed to sync to the flashing plasma in the scene. I though I had the shots lined up using a flash. It turned out they were not the same flash. So if i did a slow dissolve between shots, the flashes form each shot would not line up in time. What I needed to do is line up several flashes happening over a couple of seconds, so I coud verify the flashes were the same flashes. There are different numbers of frames between each flash, so if I got three to line up they would have to be the same flashes. I spent a lot of time trying to get these shots lined up. If I could zoom into the time line and see evry frame I could synchronize several clips by lining up the flashes, in just a couple of minutes. To do this with markers, marking say five flashes from each of four shots, it would take several minutes to do it before being ready to do the synchronizing. It's a workable solution, but is not ideal, a compromise.

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Subject: How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?
Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt
