How do I simply replace a clip in this situation...

I have a video clip in my timeline that has been trimed at head and tail. It has a couple of pieces of audio attached to it. I want to replace it with a newer version of the clip witout disrupting my timeline. None of the Replace options put it in the same place, at the same length, with the same in and out points:
• Replace - Starts new clip at 0:00 and makes it longer, pushing down the timeline.
• Replace from Start - Starts new clip at 0:00 rather than the inpoint of the clip being replaced
• Replace from End - Lines up last frame of new clip with the edit rather than the last frame of the clip being replaced.
• Replace and add to Audition does a combination of the above.
So I wrote down the in point, used Replace From Start, then tried to shift the clip to the right place with the Trim tool. But this now shifts the audio clips along with it, so they must be shifted back.
What am I missing? There must be a better way to do this.

Thanks for your patience Tom. It is confusing to explain in words.
I dare to say, I understand what you try to accomplish, and where your problem is:
you have a clip in your Project.
in the Project, it is not the whole 'raw' clip from the Event, just a selection.
the selection is 60sec ahead of the beginning in the Event.
you now have a 2nd clip, which has the same length in the Event lib as clip#1
what you want is, that FCPX does the same selection in the Event as in clip#1 and replace the content of #1 by #2.
savy?
all YOU have to do, is simply select manually an IN-point in the Event/clip#2 and then follow advice given before (drag onto #1/replace)
the OUT-point will be calculated by FCPX (3point edit)
beat by the minute, too late ... the Master was faster!

  • How I can to replace a clip in the timeline?

    Is there a command for to replace a clip in the timeline? In a recent project I have replaced some clips to hand, deleting the previous and draging the one new in the gap, but this method is dangerous because it is possible moving the edit also.

    You could drag the new clip to a track above the one you want to replace. This gives you a bit more security before deleting the old one.

  • How can I back up my data in this situation?

    I was using my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion normally and just fine, when suddenly every click of the mouse started to result in 5 minutes of the spinning color wheel. I tried restarting, and learned that my laptop can now take up to 60 minutes just to start up. I went into disk utility, and have found that I have a "hardware problem that cannot be repaired." My MacBook Pro is literally too slow to use, and I can't repair the disk. I NEED to back up my hard drive, but when I finally managed to open time machine to get a backup on an external harddrive, I spent 2 full days to get to 8GB/500GB then something happened and it reset. Backing up would take months at this rate, and I need to save my data before I can bring it in to AppleCare. Would AppleCare cover this? How can I save all my data? It's very important. Thanks in advance.

    anonymous72819,
    if the backing up part is extremely obvious, why didn’t you take those extremely obvious steps such as backing up more frequently, so that you would not be in your current situation?
    What I’m talking about is that you had asked if AppleCare would cover “this”, viz backing up your data from a disk “that cannot be repaired”. With a damaged hard drive, the speed from which data can be extracted from it depends upon the particular damage to the drive. Alternative ways of backing up will take just as long as trying to use Time Machine to do so, since any backup method will use the same firmware commands in the disk to be able to read the disk’s contents. Resetting NVRAM will have no effect on reading a damaged disk.
    No one is asking you to go without your laptop for months. You can quite easily remove your hard disk, provide it to a data recovery service to have them attempt data recovery, and install a replacement hard disk into your MacBook Pro to use your laptop in the interim. (AppleCare would take the damaged disk before installing a replacement disk, so that’s not an option if you wish to attempt data recovery on the damaged disk.)
    I hope that you’ll learn the importance of making backups more frequently from this experience.

  • Does it make technical sense to replace a hub in this scenario?

    Hub is being used to let servers exchange heartbeat, Windows load balancing, via crossover cable. Bandwidth requirement for this is minimal (it seems 10Mb should do just fine).
    That said, is there technical reason I should bother and replace a hub in this situation?

    Hi,
    Since the main player here is a Windows Load Balancing, let Microsoft suggest the best solution when to use a switch or a hub. This depends on the configuration and infrastructure http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/12fb5106-d068-4a03-9864-cf5da9e31e851033.mspx?mfr=true

  • How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

    Hi there,
    I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
    MY CONTEXT
    So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
    I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
    1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
    2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
    3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
    MY PROBLEMS
    1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
    2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
    MY QUESTIONS
    PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
    OR if I say that another way
    How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
    Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
    Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless  :-/

    It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

  • After "Replace with clip" the original clip can not be deleted from the project - why?

    After using "replace with clip" to replace clip A in the timeline with a new clip B , clip A can not be deleted from the project anymore.
    If you try to delete clip A, you get a warning, that it still has references in one or more sequences.
    If you continue and delete clip A, it seems to be deleted - at first!
    Unfortunately if you save and reopen the project, clip A is restored to folder "Recovered clips".
    It's not possible to really delete it.
    I also did not find a way to unlink clip B from A .
    The only thing you can do, is to revert the change by "Restore Unrendered" in the clip context menu. But that's obviously not helping
    I dont know if this is a bug or a feature. I understand, that it can be useful to undo the "replace clip" function, but why would anyone not want to be able to delete the original clip at all?
    help how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!
    I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (Win7 64bit)

    I'm sure it has nothing to to with other sequences.
    You can easily reproduce this behaviour:
    1. create a new project
    2. import 2 clips and name them "A" and "B"
    3. put "A" in the timeline
    4. ALT-drag "B" over "A" in the timeline (or right-click "A" in the timeline while selecting "B" in the project files and select "replace with clip ... from bin")
    5. delete "A" from the project files
    6. save and close project
    7. reopen project
    => "A" reappears in "Recovered clips" and can not be deleted.

  • How do you simply save a finished iMovie movie?

    In the new awesome Yosemite iMovie 10.0.6. I'm trying to find out to simply save my finished project as a movie. Not to share it in email, facebook, vimeo, etc. just save it.
    Secondly, where is everything now saved? Where is the folder of the movie I have created? I want to back up on another external as well as the Time Machine? The iMovie11 allowed this, though was somewhat cumbersome.
    Third, how do I join all the clips once I'm done moving things around? I'd like to just make it into one big movie... is this "connect?" I can't find the info.
    Thanks. I like iMovie, but every time there are now awesome, easily to use simple new changes, it's a struggle ...

    iMovie 10 is completely rewritten so its really necessary to read about the changes.  The help files are at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/ (which are easier to search than using the iMovie help menu).
    Both Projects and Events are now saved in libraries which are packages with the extension .imovielibrary.  You can see their contents by right-clicking and selecting "Show Package Contents".  The default location is in the ~/Movies folder but you can put them anywhere (unlike the Projects and Events folders of earlier versions).
    To save a finished project as a movie file on your computer select File - Share -File.  You will get a window her you can set quality and resolution.  pressing "Next" you choose where you want to save the movie file. 
    Hope this helps,
    Geoff.

  • How to Create a Generic Compound Clip?

    Sometimes, when I create a Compound Clip, a generic "compound clip" is created - i.e. it is not given the option to be named, thus does not become an Event.
    Other times, seemingly doing the same thing, I am forced to give the new clip a name, which then becomes an Event.   It seems hit and miss -- sometimes I am asked to name them, sometimes not.
    The problem is, that in reusing elements from previous episodes, when editing the named Compound Clip, the Event is edited, and the older episodes are affected.
    My question:  How can I choose to create non-named, non-event Compound Clips? 
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    Thanks Tom.  I am not aware of doing anything different between the two results.  I simply select a bunch of clips, then right-click "New Compound Clip...".  Sometimes it just does it, other times I get a dialog asking me to give it a name and choose the Event folder.
    Perhaps I am incorrect, but I have done this for a long time, and never noticed what I am doing differently.  Today, I am unable to reproduce the 'generic' compound clip.
    Sorry I can't at this stage be more precise, but I admit that I must be doing something different to get the different results.   I do have clips in my project that are simply called 'Compound Clip', and they do not belong in any Event (clicking on 'Reveal in Event Browser' does nothing).  This is what I prefer.

  • Replacing a clip with a copied clip from the storyline?

    I am making a music video.  The chorus repeats itself 3 times.  I worked on a clip in the storyline at the first time the chorus appeared ("desired first clip")  and used placeholders in the storyline for the chorus for the next 2 times.  I then used Command+C to copy the desired first clip but am having trouble using the desired first clip to replace the placeholders for the subsequent placeholder clips. When I place the desired first clip over the placeholder clip it just squeezes in, keeping the placeholder clip.  I guess, if necessary, I can redrag the clip used from the project folder and replace the placeholder clip and then use the attributes of the desired first clip to modify it, but that seems like a lot of trouble for simply replacing the placeholder clip with the desired first clip.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Is the desired clip in the primary or connected? If the primary, copy it and paste as connected. Then use Opt-Cmd-down arrow to collapse into the primary.

  • How do I insert a video clip into the timeline?

    Do you happen to know how I could insert a video clip into the middle of a movie like you do in FCP? Can you add tracks and insert the clip above the spot i need to change for each movie.
    I don't want to render the whole movie (convert it into a MPeg2) each time.

    No - DVD timelines are a little different to FCP. If you need to add a clip to the stream, you need to split the exisitng clip (you could trim it back to where you want to insert the new piece) and drag the new piece onto the same timeline. If you trimmed the existing piece then add another instance of it to the timeline and trim the new part from the left until you get to what you want as the out point.
    If you have a collection of video clips on your DVDSP timeline, simply dragging a new one on will shuffle the others along appropriately. However, the audio will not shuffle with them, and you'll end up moving it all manually.
    The very best thing is to create the timeline precisely as you want it in FCP and encode it to MPEG2 before bringing it in to DVDSP. Remember that DVDSP is not an editor, it is a place to assemble your work - it won't do anything remotely like FCP in that respect.

  • Issues with replacing a clip in premiere with After Effects composition

    So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
    but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
    two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
    in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
    now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
    EXCEPT
    my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
    any ideas?

    Mat,
    I'm sure you've figured it out. 
    I don't know how you got two separate source clips - you should have a sequence (comp) and the footage in the project window (bin window) for each  In your comp, the tracking can be done by selecting the layer in that comp.
    And - you've probably already figured it out that you needed those comps so they could dynamically link back to PremierePro easily.
    If you have any Ae/Pr questions - I'm going to try to be in this forum more.  I love this stuff.

  • Replace a clip preserving filters

  • How to import 150 .mov (quicktime) clips into iMovie '11?

    Hello,
    Newbie to iMovie and having some trouble.  My wedding videographer took off with my wedding footage (and the footage of 100 other couples.)  Through the police and some of my own detective work, I was able to seize my wedding footage and have it on an external hard drive.  I have already spent thousands of dollars trying to recoup my footage and now that I finally have it, I don't have the extra money to have it made into an actual movie/dvd.
    All of the more than 150 clips are in .mov format and I am unable to import them into iMovie that way.  Any ideas on how to convert that many HD clips into a file that iMovie will recognize without losing video quality & sound?
    For tech info:
    iMac 10.8.3
    iMovie '11
    Clip Info:
    Dimensions: 1920x1080
    Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
    Color Profile: 1-1-6
    Audio Channels: 2
    Thanks for your help!  This community is a great amazing resource and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to offer suggestions.
    Katie

    I did it!  I realized after 2 hours of it not working, that I was doing it 1 step wrong.  I was trying to import the actual file with all the clips, rather than just the clips themselves...  Silly error, and the import of .mov files into iMovie was seemelss..  Quality is great and didn't take long.  Thanks again.

  • How to Disable or Replace SSD Drive on HP 700-330qe

    Help for My 5-Month-Old HP! This is Killing Me! I bought an HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon, and just started getting SMART hard drive errors from Windows whenever my computer restarts, telling me that hard disk failure is imminent. It also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, back it up, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never saw this in any PC I have owned before. I naturally freaked out and did some research on the internet, discovering it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new Western Digital 3 TB hard drive from Amazon, a Cable Matters brand hard drive docking station from Amazon, and downloaded Macrium Reflect free disk management software. Items from Amazon arrived in a couple of days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, opened it up and replaced the old hard drive with the new one. Booted the computer back up, and got the same message about imminent hard drive failure!! So I paid more attention to it this time, and looked up the model number given in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM-016G-1006. I Googled that and discovered it was the solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh. I stuck my old hard drive into the hard drive docking station and was prepared to clone both the SSD partition and all of the partitions from the main hard drive onto the one hard drive, and the remove or at least unplug the SSD to get rid of this issue. The software told me the SSD is formatted as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive formatting, so you can't copy those different types of partitions onto one hard drive. Okay, so here are my options as I see them: 1) I need to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will still even boot up. Is Windows partially installed on the SSD? I don't know.2) Clone and replace the SSD in much the same way as I did with the main hard drive. I can get the following SSD from Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (7mm height) with Adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A/60G. For option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM ScanDisk SSD is currently installed in my computer!!?!?!? Is it in the hard drive cage?? I didn't see anything else installed in there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I only have on CD drive installed and I can see where that is. Help!!! PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and used it to scan the SSD. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (out of tens of thousands of blocks) but when it finished the scan it said there were no bad blocks. To have this happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than regulard hard drives, make this situation so much more aggravating. At least I upgraded my hard drive from 2TB to 3TB, and now know that I can do it. Sigh.

    Update. So I spent about 1 hour chatting with HP tech support. First we had to clarify the fact that the standard HP warranty runs longer than 4 months. The tech support person originally informed me that the warranty is only 1 year from date of purchase. I then told him I purchased the computer on 8-15-14. He looked up my records and stated my warranty period was 8-21-14 through 12-31-14. After I told him my math tells me that time period was only 4 months, he got it figured out and confirmed my PC was still under warranty.
    Anyway, after remotely logging into my PC and running a test, he got a failure code he needed, and then had me open up my PC case and type in the HP part number on the label of the MSATA drive. He first typed that I would get a box with instructions on where to mail my PC so it could be repaired, which would take 2-3 weeks. As this is the main family home PC and has tons of personal information, I stated this was unnaceptable. Ok, so plan B was the replacement was going to be sent to my house so I could replace it myself, expected arrival within 7-12 days. Surprise, just 2 days later I come from work to find a small box waiting for me. I tear it open and get ready to install the replacement, but what do I find? Instead of sending an MSATA Sandisk 16GB SSD, they send me a Seagate 750GB laptop SSHD. The picture of what they sent is below. Got back online chatting with HP support tonight, and their records showed they sent me an MSATA Sandisk 16GB SSD. This has now been escalated to a supervisor, and I am supposed to be receiving a phone call within 24-48 hours. This is turning into a really bad customer service experience for me, and is making me think twice about buying another HP computer. We have 3 HP desktops in this house and are on the 3rd HP laptop now. I really hope they send me the correct part before the whole thing dies on me.
