How do I remove a piece from a clip, with transitions, without it sliding together

When I put some kinds of transition on a clip, why does FCP-X put a gray block around that clip, which then causes anything deleted from the clip to now "slide together" instead of maintaining the timeline?  I have two video streams shot from two different cameras, which I am selecting moments from.  I never want the deletion of anything to cause the "time" relationship between the two streams to change.  Yet, that seems to be unavoidable, once this grey block appears around the clip.  So, I find I must alwas select another point, to the right and use the blade to cut at that point before I can insert a transition, and then that same transition gets added to the right end of that clip as well.  I am a newish user of FCP-X, so I might just not have found the right qualifying key stroke modifier to select a different mode.
This is identical in behavior from use "delete" on the main keyboard vs the "DEL" key on the 9 key cluster to the right of the main keypad, on the numeric keyboard, if that helps explain the behavior I am seeing.

This illustrates the issue I was having.  The magnetic effect, seems, for me, to come from no where.  Why would this not be a toggleable effect on a clip to explicitly allow you to manage a clip as a standalone clip where magnetic effects are problably what you want, verses my use case, where I have two camera angles stacked, and I just want to select views from each clip along the time line.
When the camera angles are time related, it's just nuts to have to deal with this issue, and "lift from timeline", doesn't even start to hint at how this might help me solve the problem.
Thanks for you help!

  • How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • How do I remove a crop from a clip?

    Hi,
    I have been putting together a selection of clips for a project. I applied a crop to one of the clips... but for some reason other clips have ended up cropped as well. How this happened I do not know. Best I can figure is that the clips I selected after I applied the first crop were also cropped as well.
    I can see the small crop icon in the upper-left corner of the clips but How do I remove the crop... or do I have to remove the clip from the project and start over again???

    CROP will cut off the top and bottom. FIT will letterbox to make it fit.
    You might also check to see if you have turned on Image Stabilization. This works by zooming in, which looks like a crop. You can turn off Image Stabilization in the Inspector under the CLIP tab.

    I am not sure I understand completely. I selected a clip and opened the Inspector, chose "CROP" and then adjusted the crop for that clip.... but exactly how do I turn that off IE reverse the process so that no adjustment is applyed?

  • How can I remove my name from being associated with the GB file I export?

    I am using Garage Band '11, 6.0.5.
    I am editing an audio recording for a friend.
    When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
    I searched and found "My info" (in "Preferences") and deleted my information from ALL name, album, artist fields, but it still exported the file with my name as the artist (but it did not list it as from my album this time)?
    Does anyone know how/where/what I need to do to remove all references of my name associated with this file I'm editing?
    And also, can I change who is associated with a GB file, from file to file (i.e. if editing my audio, use my name & info, if editing for a friend or colleague, theirs?  or is the name associated with my GB account universally embedded into every file, no matter if I want it to be mine or not)?
    Thank you for your support!
    Joe

    When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
    The problem is, that this information is stored with the GarageBand project, when you first create the project.  You have to edit the Preferences, before you create the project.
    If the project already exists, you can change this option by turning the project into a podcast. Add a Podcast track (Track menu, Show Podcast Track), select the podcast track, and open the Info panel. Then edit the artist field in the Info panel, before you save the song to disk.
    (added: I saw the workaround with the Podcast track first in a post by Edgar).

  • How do I remove a book from my iTunes mac library without a trace that i have ever had it?

    I have a book that I would no longer like in my iBooks lbrary because I want my library full of thingsI only want to read. I want to delete a book, but when I right click it there is no "remove" option. Can someone please help me?

    I was having this problem as well. In the most recent update, you should see a third option next to "Unplayed" and "Podcasts" called "List." Click this option, right click the podcast you wish to delete, then click "Delete."
    Hope this helps!

  • How to remove effect presets from a clip?

    I'm learning how to use Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe's official Help document.
    I'm currently working through Chapter 10, "Applying effects", section "Working with effect presets" -> "Apply an effect preset".
    The Help document doesn't tell how to remove an effect preset you had applied.
    I've tried to follow the instructions for removing regular effects, but they don't seem to work in the case of presets.
    How can i remove effect presets from a clip?

    I suspect it's actually a standard PE terminology that i'd better get acquainted with.
    I wanted to address this part separately. Actually, "workflow" is more of a video, or at least NLE term, and is not specific to PrE.
    As for terminology, this ARTICLE might prove useful.
    As I attempt to point out, some of these terms might be applied slightly differently, depending on the exact program used. As a for instance, PrE 8 has moved all of the Export options to Share. I still write "Export/Share" in case a PrE 2 through 7 user reads it. Terms can change. Also, Avid might call one common operation by one name, and Final Cut Pro use a different one.
    For me, I had to learn some new terms. I can from a film background. Terms were changed with video. For instance, my old Fade-to-Black is now Dip-to-Black in most NLE's. First time that I typed Fade-to-Black, everyone came back with "huh???"
    I read a lot of books on general editing of both video and audio. Some authors use different programs, and though the core theories are the same, their terminology can be rooted in their program of choice.
    Also, with regards to audio, many still use a lot of the terminology from the analog days, and keep them, because analog is still part of the workflow in most productions - think of the mics, for instance. There is generally less analog left in video, unless someone needs to telecine film to digital, or transfer VHS tapes to digital. More of the total workflow is all in digital, so my old film school terms have faded.
    One of the things that I attempt to do is differentiate exaclty what I am talking about. If I type video, I mean video in general. If I type Video, I am talking about the video Assets in a Project. Notice that Assets is also capatilized, as that is a term from the NLE and is specific to all things, SFX, Video, Audio, etc. used. Sometimes I slip up. I use project to mean the whole thing, and Project to mean the setup in the NLE, that will result in either a .PREL, or .PRPROJ file from my Adobe editors. Does this make sense?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.
