How do you make one long clip camera import FCPX

Does anyone out there know how to make one long clip from a DV camera import in FCPX???  Why the designers thought it was a good idea to chop the clips up during import is beyond me...

You're expecting one continuous take to import as one single clip, right?
From my experience with DV-format cameras like the Canon HV20, it's not unusual for there to be enough of a discontinuity (control track??) to create two or more successive clips when importing, dropping a small number of frames between clips. This could be caused by dirty heads or a tape that has been used more than it should.
A string of separate takes should import as separate clips, I believe.
Hope this helps.

  • How do you make one long track into multiple tracks?

    How do you make one long track in itunes into multiple tracks? Is there a way to do that?

    I found another solution too through Garageband. I don't know if it was easier, but I liked this way of creating seperate tracks.
    First, You put the long track into Garageband.
    -then you create a New Basic Track under Track Tab-create as many of those as tracks you want to make
    -also make sure the headphones button is lit up under each New Basic Track-this allows it to be a 'solo' track.
    -then you can start cutting music-with the long strip find where you want to split into a new track and drag that half down into each New Basic Track.
    -Once you are done, press Option Z and a purple little triangle will appear up by the measures. drag the triangle to the end of the first track-this allows it when sharing to itunes to just record the particular track you want, it puts a stop/end to that track.
    -then, make sure the track you want to share is highlighted the bright orange and go to share, 'send to itunes'
    -it will send that to itunes and you can rename it in itunes.
    -Go back to Garageband-delete the first track you successfully shared and move the next one up to where that one was. Slide it accross to the left so it is at the beginning, press option Z and move the purple triangle where you want it to be...and you are good to repeat until all your tracks are done!
    I am a very visual person, and this helped to see where I was cutting each track, just another way!

  • How do you make one video clip constantly switch colors?

    I am trying to make it that one video clip switches from one color then to another color then to another? I also don't want to break up the clip into multiple clips then just change the color on each sub clip because when I tried that, it wouldn't load well in playback because there were so many effects in a couple of seconds. Please help me, thanks!

    When you say 'switch from one color then to another color' do you mean you want the clip to show in shades of a single colour ranging from black to your colour and for that colour to change, or that you want the colours of the image to cycle so that red becomes blue, yellow becomes green and blue becomes red?
    If it is the 'shades of a single colour' you want, apply the 'Cast' effect from the 'Looks' section of the effects palette and use keyframes to animate the Midtones parameter.
    If you want to colour cycle, apply my free 'Gradient Colorize a4d' effect, edit the colours in the gradient and keyframe the 'Offset' parameter which cycles the gradient colours through the image. If you're interested I could create a free effect that could cycle through the colours in a gradient automatically.
    Download 'Gradient Colorize a4d' from my blog:

  • In imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip

    in imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip
    canu u download video in HDV to imovie 06 from a    SONY HDR-Fx 7 video camera as one clip

    No. iMovie 09 (and 11) is designed to import movies from camcorders. Every time it detects a start/stop it will make a different clip. They will be in chronlogical order, rather than edited order.
    If you still have iMovie 06, you can load the tape there as one continuous clip. Then EXPORT USING QUICKTIME choosing HDV as your codec. This will produce an MOV file that iMovie 09 or 11 can read, and which will be in the edited order.

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • How do I make one long WAV (or mp3) from downloaded fil

    ps.
    Regarding those gaps, after some research here and elsewhere, I found that I can use EAC's "Copy Image and create CUE Sheet" function to make one large file of all the tracks on a CD merged together and then send that image to the Zen Xtra, and this clears up the ga
    ps.
    My problem is that most of the music I plan on putting on the player is downloaded li've music (legal, of course), and I can't for the life of me figure out how to create one long file from the tracks when they're on the computer, not a CD (and burning a CD just to create a file kind of defeats my purpose for getting the Zen Xtra... I'm sick of burning).
    The gaps haven't really affected me with other music I've put on, but it's going to annoy the heck out of me if I get one in the middle of a sweet Scarlet > Fire ;-)
    Thanks for any help in advance...

    Or you read the?BEFORE you post, READ THIS FIRST (FAQ) post (search on "gapless playback")
    I know that?Easy CD-DA Extractor will encode all as one file, but this is shareware, and I'm sure there are freeware solutions.

  • How do you make seperate photo albums/camera rolls for the ipad and iphone

    I am trying to make photo albums and different camera rolls for the ipad and iphone.  can anyone tell me how to do that?

    I don't think you can in the native iPad Photos app. It's just where all photos save in camera roll. If I sync folders with pic from my MacBook, it syncs as a separate album in Photos, but I can't move pics between them. I've actually just downloaded an app that allows for sorting photos by creating links to the photos to place them in the folders you create--it does not make duplicates of the photos to do this, so no worries of using up space.
    Anyway, the app is Best Album +transfer. Right now on sale for 99€ which was why I decided to get it.

  • Got two apple ids on an ipod touch. How do you make one the default?

    Got two apple ids on an ipod touch. One child shared account with other sibling. Has now set up own apple id and wants that one to be default id. Every time goes to apple id, shared one comes up. How do we change the settings so that new id is the default?

    Without knowing what you are doing when the other ID pops up:
    CHANGE ID
    The ID is used in the following locations and y have to change  them.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    Settings>iCloud
    and Settings>iTunes and App store
    You  have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
    Note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If the iPod has iOS 7 then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
    Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

  • How do you make a movie clip play in CS4

    Hello, I used Flash MX a long time ago (beginner level) then
    left it for years. I'm now using CS4 and am stuck. I have a stage
    with a movie clip placed onto it. I want to create a simple 'click
    to play' button so that the movie clip only plays on click of this
    button. Can someone please give me a step by step (idiot-proof)
    guide on how to do this please

    Cases that use to be _property in AS2 are now just property
    in AS3. So _x is x, _y is y, and _visible is visible. This should
    work:
    function showPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
    play_text.visible = true;
    pause_text.visible = false;

  • How do you make a circle clipping path in PhotoShop CS4?

    All online help that I have found so far, shows me how to hand draw a complex shape. I just need a circle. I can do this in a few minutes in CorelDRAW and Illustrator.
    You must be able to do it in PhotoShop. The end result is - I want it to work like a ship porthole. All you can see is what is behind the port window.
    Thanks!!!!

    Does this help at all??? I skipped CS4
    Can also just add the path in as a vector layer mask
    Save the work path with a name once you have a saved path you can use the path palette's fly-out menu item "Clipping Path".

  • How do you make one timeline stop?

    i currently have my animation looping but i want to set it up so that one of the layers/animations on my timeline do NOT loop (just fly in once)... i tried adding a stop(); but it seems to stop everything that is moving instead of just the target timeline.

    A stop() is a timeline level command, and a timeline can include several layers, meaning every layer on a timeline can be impacted by a stop() on one layer.  I can't tell how you've designed your animation, so you'll need to explain that if my guess at a solution that follows isn't on target.
    Create the one animation that you want to have stop as a movieclip unto itself.  You can do this by copying the frames and pasting them into an empty movieclip symbol.  Place a stop() at the end of the timeline inside that movieclip.  Place that movieclip in the timeline where you copied the frames, in place of those frames.

  • In a tubular form: how do you make one combo box reflect another

    For example:
    if there are two fields, one with combo box with bread, meat, juice and I select juice, I and the contents of another combo box in another field to say Orange, grape, lemon.
    field one field two
    bread orange
    meat grape
    juice lemon
    in field one there is just those 3 but in the table representing two there are many such as types of bread and meat and juice, all three.
    Hope you can understand this example. Thanks for your help.

    Your description is not very clear but looks like you want cascading select lists, where 2nd select list is populated based on value selected in the first select list.
    AJAX is a good solution if you are comfortable with it. Since I'm not very familiar with that, I end up using pl/sql.
    Someone had asked similar question few days back, and i had provided a detailed answer. You can check it out at:
