How do I realign my clip after adding widescreen bars?

Hi Everyone,
After learning how to add widescreen bars by cropping the top and bottom to what most say is the accorded size of 12% I now have a few clips which are in dier need of adjusting downward so as to not cut off peoples heads haflway. I truly hope Adobe CS6 has this feature available. I've tried to re position, scale, and anchor point but that moves the widescreen bars with the clip. Can anyone help me please.
Mike Diaz

Thank you Jim and Ann,
I was fortunate enough to do the tedious task of eyeballing the crop size bar and matching it by percentage side to side. Gruesome, I wouldn't wish it on my worst adversary. I couldn't figure out how to copy and apply to each clip that needed adjustment individually, not all needed the veritcal position changed. I'm so new to CS5 but I decided to get the latest version to be on the edge of video editing software. I tried the adjustment layer thing but it only added the widescreen bar to the newly positioned clip which made the allignement further cut into the clip, took me a tutorial just to undo the effect. Yikes, I'll get it down one day. But a million thanks to all who help me in these forums. You guys are more awesome than you may know.

How can I create individual clips after doing DV start/stop locate?

I know how to take a clip and have FCE mark the DV start/stop points, but is there a way to have FCE then automatically make individual clips based on the DV in/out points?

Yes, that's actually what is 'behind the scene' in each subclip. This is actually a very powerful thing, as you will discover as you gain experience editing.
Yes, they act as if they are completely independent of each other, you can apply further edits, filters, effects etc. to each subclip individually.
Switching from iMovie to FCE takes some adjustment, that's for sure. But FCE is much much more capable than iMovie.
I encourage you to get a copy of Tom Wolsky's excellent book - Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop. It's the best thing available to get you started with FCE ... and it includes a DVD where he shows you the differences between using iMovie and FCE. Tom has also recently produced an FCE training DVD, too, Final Cut Express HD Made Easy, and he is an active participant in this forum.

How do I add a video clip after my music?

Its sort of a wierd question but basically to me imovie09 is a bust since i cant really see a real timeline to edit my project. But what im trying to do is after i edited my video and the song i have ends i want to add another clip after the song but without the song playing. Everytime i add a clip it either goes to the top of my project or just adds it to the song. basically what im tryign to ask is, how do i add a clip after a song?

ohh ok, so what i need to do is detach the audio and it will become that thin green strip at the bottom of the clips is what you are saying?
you don't like tutorials, don't you?
where does the audio come from?
if you ADD audio/music/voice over to a project, there are TWO options.
#1:
you drag it into the (grey) background of your Project - and it becomes a background track with its own 'behaviour': it will try to background the WHOLE Project as much as possible. as long there's audio left, any added video/still will lengthen the audio.
#2:
drag audio ONTO a clip .... it gets connected PLUS it offers the usual options any clip offers; copy/pasting, cutting, fading, effects. here, I added a fade and the last video-clip is audio-less.
safey?

On the imovi project I have created there are now yellow warning triangles saying the the clip is missing. How do I get the clip back?

I have created a project in Imovi and when I went back onto it all the clips had a yellow warning triangle with the error message clip missing. How do I retrieve the clips after all my hard work?

I don't use the latest iMovie version, so the steps may be different....... but, you can try a couple of things:
when you got the warning that the clips couldn't be located, was there an option to "find them"? If so, click on that and then navigate to that folder on your desktop (after that, leave the folder where it is - iMovie will need to find them again the next time); or
attach your camera and see if you can get iMovie to 'find' them there, or
simply try to import the clips (File > import) and see if you can integrate them that way.
The next time you start a project, I'd suggest you either
leave the camera attached when you work on the project (as that is where iMovie expects them to be) or
download everything from your camera to your desktop into a folder. Then import into iMovie from there. Do not throw out or move that folder until your project has been finalized,, exported, shared, or burned - those processes will result in having a complete project which includes all the files, clips, etc. Until then, iMovie just "finds" all the files it needs in their original location.

Update beans after adding columns to DB tables

I am trying to use JDeveloper 10G , Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4.3673
I am having difficulty finding out how to update CMP Entity Beans
after adding columns to DB tables.
I have found descriptions of how to do these from four sources.
None of these methods work.
They all refer to menu options, buttons or fields that aren't in the JDevb IDE.
List of options that don't exist :
"Synchronize with Database"
"attributes"
"Add from table"
"New from Table"
"Fields Tab"

What version of EJBs are you using?
The only option I know of for EJBs will be to generate the bean from the table again, or manually add the field to the EJB.
The "Synchronize with Database" operation is there for ADF Business Components but not for EJBs.

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

Crashing after adding audio clips

So I have had to rebuild my 50 minute vacation movie 3 times now due to the files become corrupt after adding audio clips. The audio clips are legit and not just downloaded from a random site. Happens with different songs not just particular ones.

Here is a good tutorial for how audio works. In your case, you want to drag and drop the music track on top of one of your video clips at the frame where you want the music to begin.

How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD along with my existing HD

How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD so that my system and apps are on the SSD and everything else is on the HD? I am using mountain Lion. I want to make sure I can still do Time Machine backups.
I was planning on first formatting the SSD and then using Migration Assistant to copy the System and the Library and the Apps over. Where it gets confusing is the User account where some of the items will be on the SSD but I want all my folders to be on the HD. Do I just not copy over that other stuff and once I restart from the SSD it will know where all the folders are? Is there anything I need to know about setting up a time machine backup after that? Will the backup I had from the one drive have to be erased and start a whole new backup?
I just want to do this right so I don't have some major problems.
Thanks for any help.
Michael

time machine backed up your whole system data/everything in time machine hdd.
you want to use ssd over hdd so you need to put new mac os x in ssd.
then copy all the stuff that you want to put in ssd.
from my point of view put the mac os x and other application in ssd and leave other data in hdd.(music,movies,etc....)

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

Background disappears after adding a cross dissolve to a keyed clip.

I have a clip that has a Keying filter (as well as being cropped and scaled down) on it over a white background. After adding a Cross Dissolve to the keyed clip, the white background disappears for the duration of the Cross Dissolve, leaving a black background behind the keyed clip. This black background is present both in preview and after rendering.
Any advice?

not positive this will help, but try this:
remove the transition
right-click and sselect "make compound clip" (or Option G)
within the compound clip, drop a white solid under the keyed clip; do not place any transitions at either end of the compound clip.
return to your storyline / sequence
place your transition again and see if it's fixed
if you still do not have a clean dissolve, remove the transition and then click once on the compound clip and go to around 8 or 12 frames before the end and in the inspector, go to the opacity and add a keyframe and then arrow right to the frame before the last frame and add another keyframe and drag the opacity value to zero.

TA25521 After editing a video clip that was shot in 60fps how do I convert that clip to 24fps for publishing

After editing a video clip in FCX that was shot in 60fps how do I convert that clip to 24fps for publishing?

There is only a limited amount of Compressor instruction available unless you purchase a subscription to something like Lynda.com or a tutorial from Ripple or Larry Jordan.
My advice to everyone who is interested in learning about Compressor is to read the first two chapters of the user manual – on basics and workflows. Those should provide enough of an understanding to cover the majority of things users need Compressor to accomplish. Of course there is plenty more for those who want to explore.
Here is a short write-up from Ken Stone on changing frame rates.
Good luck.

Insert source clip after multi-cam editing, how?

hello
I created a sequence using multiple clips and did all my colour corrections. Then I created a new sequence by dragging on new items, sequence is now green. Enabled Mulit-cam editing and started the process.
After i finished, I noticed two clips have blown highlights. Looking at original source I accidentally add two levels. I tried deleting the blown highlight clips and replace them with the original, this did not work too well.
Is there a method I can insert clips after multi-cam editing?
I hope all this makes senses.

Here's how I did it a few times:
1. Add video tracks (and audio tracks if needed) to your timeline to equal the number of cameras you have. Of course if you have more than 4 this will start to get impractical.
2. Edit in your clips from your different camera angles, one to each video track.
3. Double click each clip in turn to get it into the viewer and click the Motion tab. Change its scale to 50%.
4. Select each clip in turn in the timeline and move it to one corner of the canvas. You need to have "image + wireframe" selected in the Canvas popup menu in order to move it with the mouse.
You should now have up to 4 different camera angles shown at the same time in the Canvas, each in its own quadrant.
5. Now the hard part is to align each clip according to time. Hopefully you have some sort of visual cue you can use to align the clips.
6. Then play through the timeline and use the razor tool to cut the clips where you want a camera angle change.
7. Select each camera angle piece you want from each cut you made and change its scale back to 100% and center it at 0,0. Delete the unused clips.
8. If you want, you can move all the clips that remain back to v1 so that you can use transitions between them.
What to do with all the various audio is another question. I usually use the audio from the best source all the way through, only changing to the other camera angle's audio when necessary.

How to remove audio clip I added to iMovie 10?

I created a short video, added audio clip from itunes. But I cannot upload it to Facebook due to copyright rules. How can I remove the audio clip? I separated the audio from the video, but it's only the original audio, not the clip I added. I looked through several posts but could not find this exact topic.
I see some posts that talk about inspector, but imovie 10 doesn't seem to have it.
When I click on the video segments i don't see anything about the audio clip that I added.
Newbie here, please be patient...
Thanks.

You just need to go back to the project in iMovie 10, delete the iTunes audio clip and share again.
(I'm not quite clear what you did when you said you 'separarted the audio from the video'.)
Geoff,

How Can I Zoom in Further Into a Clip after a Crop?

I want to further crop a clip so I can focus on one portion of it, but the crop option has its rectangle limit. Is there anyway I can further zoom into my clip after the initial crop?
Thanks,
Kev

indeed, the crop-tool allows a max (min?) of about a quarter of original size..
workaround:
• avoid the iM crop-tool
• use any pic processor (Preview, Pixelmator, PSE..) to crop your wanted area..
• import pre-processed pic into your project..-
ah, and Welcome, klopez89, to the  iMovie boards..
