How do you move a clip just a few frames relative to another clip?

I am having a lot of trouble trying to move video and audio clips in the timeline. One key seems to be to use the Option key to select both video and audio. If you don't use Option, you only get the video or the audio.
At present I have a clip on V1 and A1, A2, and another clip on V2, A3,A4. The videos and audio of the 2 clips overlap and I am trying to move the clip on V1,A1,A2 relative to the other clip so that the audio waveforms line up and I can get a contijuous sequence. I can get the overlap fairly close but not close enough. Is there a way to move a clip just one or two frames? Everytime I move the V1 clip, the playhead jumps to the end of the clip.
What am I doing wrong?

I had a lot of trouble trying to move audio and video tracks together. The clip tended to be copied so often and the playhead would jump so I didn't know where I was or what had happened. When just the audio is moved, this doesn't seem to happen. For large moves, I just drag the audio to within a few frames or so of sync. Then I use + - for the last few frames and to check that sync is not off by a whole frame. Usually there's a little bit of out-of-sync audio but it either disappears on playback or it's not noticable.
I also adjusted the mouse characteristics with respect to speed of double-clicking and this seems to have helped.

  • How do you move adobe acrobat XI pro from one computer to another?

    how do you move adobe acrobat XI standard pro from one computer to another?

    Hi jeszamom,
    You'll need either the installation media (if you bought from a retailer), or a downloaded installer. If you don't have the CD, you can download Acrobat from this links in this document: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe.
    It's OK to keep it on the other computer; your license allows you to install it on up to two computers. But, if you'd like you can deactivate it on that old computer, which would free up that activation for use on yet another computer. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe
    You'll need your serial number to activate on the new computer.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps

  • How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

    I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved).  I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.   
    Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits.    So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster. 

    Hello ... and thanks for  your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems.  And I am sure it is "operator error"
    I used your method #1.  The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog.  This took about 20 minutes.
    Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive. 
    There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName.  The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc. 
    I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.  
    So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing.  But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found. 
    Any ideas? 
    I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.  
    Thanks

  • How do you move an access app from one sharepoint subsite to another?

    Hi there!
    I have created an access app for my 'Account management' subsite. This database stores lots of important information, however I'd like to move this to a new subsite which I've created called 'Campaigns'. How do I do this? I literally want to take a copy
    of it with all it's contents and move it to a new subsite.
    Thanks!
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah,
    You can go with backup & Restore option.
    In Powershell:
    use this below commands,
    Backup-SPSite <site URL> -Path "Path Location" -Force
    <site URL> --> http://server_name/sites/Account management (which site you want to take backup)
    "Path Location" --> C:\Backup\site_name.bak(where you want to store the backup)
    Restore-SPSite <site URL> -Path "Path Location" -Force
    <site URL> --> http://server_name/sites/Campaigns (where you want to move the site)
    "Path Location" --> C:\Backup\site_name.bak (where you have the backup file)
    otherwise you can Go with remane the subsite.
    Vote me, if its helps you. Regards, Tamilarasi.

  • 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,

  • How do you move the point where an audio clip attaches to a video clip?

    I'm talking about the little carrot that sticks from one clip to another to indicate the point where the cips are syncronized. How do you move their position? Thank you!
    Eric

    The manual says ...
    Adjust the connection point of a connected clip
    By default, connected clips and storylines are connected to the primary storyline at their first frame, but you can move the“connection point” of a connected clip or storyline. This is useful when you want to connect a specific frame or audiosample in the connected clip or storyline with a specific frame or audio sample in the primary storyline.
    Hold down the Command and Option keys, and click the connected clip (or the gray border of the storyline) at thepoint where you want to position the connection point.
    The connection point is moved to the point where you clicked.
    For other things ... If you want to move the audio clip in relation to the video clip just click on it and drag it to the left or right.  This is when your audio clip is a separate clip from your video clip.  If you want to move the audio that is part of a video clip, you first have to select that clip then choose Clip/Break Apart Clip Items then do one of the things listed above.  Best wishes.

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

    How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?  I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

    It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • Keyword management - how do you move keywords up one level?

    How do you move keywords up one level in the hierarchy? Sometimes when working quickly, keywords and subgroups of keywords get inadvertently highlighted and moved as a child under another keyword or group. I can't figure out how to move them back out again to the root level.

    I can't figure out how to move them back out again to the root level.
    You can drag and drop sub keywords to other locations higher or lower in the nested folder but you don't seem able to drag from sub level to root level.
    The easiest workaround would be to have a regular Back up of the list (pop menu from icon top right keyword panel: export keywords) and when not having added new words just use clear and import the back up to restore.
    If you did edit the list you can choose to export current list and with a simple text editor make the changes for keywords and sub keywords you want, save and then use again clear and import to retrieve the correct list.

  • How do you make a title just fade away

    I would like to put a still frame title into a clip, and instead of having it just be on the screen one second and a few seconds later instantly be gone, I would like to make the title slowly disapear into nothingness?  Anyone know how to do that?

    Yes, I'm very sorry. I keep forgetting that Encore and PPCS4 are separate programs. Yes, you do indeed create fading titles in PPCS4. I finally figured it out today. All that is necessary is to Put the new title on the timeline. Then place the timeline indicator bar, or whatever that thing is called, at the front of the title box on your timeline. Open up the effects control box, and expand the opacity box. Click the little diamond on the right side, and this will add a keyframe to the beginning of your title. Go to the end of the title box and click the diamond again to add a key frame to that end. Then just grab the keyframe on the right and pull it down. The title will disappear over the length of the time that it is on your screen.
    Thank you Hunt. Also thank you for the advice about the book. I do appreciate it.

    Terry,
    I could be wrong, but isn't this something that one would do in PrPro?
    Now, if one wanted a Menu (in Encore) to "fade away," they could create (in PrPro) a Button Transition to do that.
    Good luck,

  • How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer

    How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer.

    Step 1 - copy the relevant folders to your external drive.
    For iTunes, that would be yourusername/Music/iTunes (and everything underneath it, exactly as is).
    For iPhoto that would be yourusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    Step 2 - next time you start iTunes (and iPhoto) hold down the Option key while you click the application icon.  You will get a question box that will allow you to point iTunes (and iPhoto) to the new location on your external drive.
    Step 3 - after verifying that everything is working correctly with the libraries on your external drive, delete them from your internal drive.  Be sure to empty the trash.
    As always, it is best practice to always have a backup copy of your data ... just in case something goes wrong.
