How to combine XDCAM clips into one big file for import?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a basic question or just not possible... I'm on location and have to rush edit. I've not worked with xdcam before. Usually I would import all of the media in low-res (one tape at a time), see what I want, then re-import that in high-res.
In xdcam, when I import, I import EVERY single shot as a separate file. I can set ins and outs and just import what I want, but this is laborious to open and close every shot to see if I want it, then mark ins and outs.
Isn't it somehow possible to import everything on the xcdcam disk as ONE single file as you would a "tape" so you can quickly screen it, see what you want, then go back to the individual clips on your xdcam disk and import those in high-res? This would be so much faster!
Many thanks for your help... am in a bind and in a rush!

Ok thanks... that seems to work. It won't actually work for the way we're editing, but in theory had we synced up our workflow from the start...
Re. something new... well I hear what you're saying but I have changed formats several times, used 4 different nlediting platforms so far and not complained. This is the only one that seems much harder especially when you're working with different editors in different countries under tight time pressure.
The brief user guide that I read (and our tutorial instructor at work) told us to import all the little clips and said nothing of combining them... I'm not sure how people could actually work that way and manage dozens of disks' worth of individual shots as files. It would take years to cut an item... and usually we have about 45 minutes to an hour.
Cheers,

  • How to combine video clips into one video clip using FCPX

    I typed this into the search engine but could not come up with anything. How do you combine Video clips into one Video clip using FCPX? Thanks in advance.

    The simple answer is to put the clips together in a project in the desired order and export (oops, the new word is share [YUK!]) a master file.
    But maybe you should say a little more about the clips to determine whether the answer I've given is relevant to yor situation.

  • How to combine movie clips into one?

    In one Aperture project I have 5 short (under 1 min) movie clips that I would like to combine into one "movie", and would like to know the quickest and easiest way to do this.  I am not interested in any editing other than combining the clips into one.  Thanks!

    In Aperture the only way to combine movie clips is to create a basic slideshow, but you will get better results (stabilization, effects, etc) in iMovie or Quicktime 7, if you have it.
    In Aperture:
    Create a slideshow with the "Classic" theme: Select the two video clips in the Browser and use:   File >New > Slideshow
    Set the Default Slideshow settings (Transitions, Text, background) as you like them.
    Arrange the clips in the Time Line in the order as you want them.
    Press the "Export" button in the upper right corner to export a new video. Reimport it to Aperture.

  • How to combine multiple webservices into one WSDL file

    Gurus,
    I have 4 four webservices(ws1,ws2,ws3 & ws4) defined in XI. Normally in XI when we define webservice ,WSDL file will be generated for each interface. Now I have 4 related interfaces, so 4 WSDL files will generated. Suppose if I have 100 webservices then 100 WSDL files need to be generated & need to send to other party to consume our services, which is very tedious task & to track also. So is it possible to combine related webservices into one WSDL file? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi,
             Instead of trying to combine the interfaces, you can try to define your interface mapping with 4 sender interfaces with in one interface mapping . I think this may give you the result you are expecting.
                      If you want entire content to be in one interface , then, define single interface which can accomadate, all message ocntent of all 4 interfaces.Means your sender message to contain the 4 datatypes internally.

  • Newbie trying to combine multiple clips on one video file for iDVD

    I just bought my Mac and and starting to make home videos. I have 20 .mov clips I imported from my HDD camcorder into the events section on Imovie 08. I could not find a way to combine these clips on Imovie 08 into one large clip. I imported these movies to iDVD in attempt a uninterupted movie. I have not found a way to do this. All I can do is add the the clips into a chapter screen, but then each clip stops after it end. How can I combine these .mob clips in either iMovie, iDVD, or any other software program that came with a normal Mac book?

    I am not familiar with iMovie 08, but I am with the HD6 version. This is the one that you will be able to download using the link provided by SDMacuser.
    You can use iMovie HD6 to combine your clips into a movie that will either play straight through or stop at the end of each clip if you wish. First, import your clips into iMovie to create your new movie project. Add audio, titles, effects, etc., and, if desired, chapter markers. Chapter markers will give you the option to advance to different parts of your movie, like a scene selection menu.
    From iMovie Help, *Setting Chapter Markers*:
    To set chapter markers:
    Move the playhead to the point at which you want to start a new chapter.
    IMPORTANT: You cannot add a chapter marker to the very beginning or end of your movie. (iMovie HD automatically adds an initial chapter marker at the beginning of a movie.) It's also a good idea not to add a chapter marker within a transition, or within one second of a transition or other chapter marker. If you do so, other applications may have trouble recognizing the chapter markers.
    Click the Chapters button, and then click Add Marker.
    Tip: To quickly add a chapter marker, you can also choose Markers > Add Chapter Marker.
    Type a chapter title next to the thumbnail that appears in the Chapters pane.
    Good luck.

  • How do I combine to clips, into one split screen clip

    How do I combine to clips, into one split screen clip
    Since iMovie '08 automatically centers files and currently has no control settings that allow the user to offset or displace the clips, this effect cannot be done from within this versions of iMovie. You can, of course do this externally using QT Pro, Final Cut, or Studio.

  • How to Combine Time Aliases into One Time Dim in Presentation Table

    Hi,
    As per the requirement I have created 7 time aliases and created joins to the fact in physical layer and the same in the BMM as well. I guess I’m correct till this stage.
    However I want all the aliases to be combined into one time dim table so that only one time dimension will be available in Presentation layer Can I do it if yes what’s the process, now I’m showing all the time aliases in presentation which I don’t want to.
    Please suggest me to solve this.
    Thanks,
    SMA

    HI Arjun,
    Please look at Sample Sales rpd "D0 Time" table(BMM layer) it was coming from different physical alias tables based on that how the hierarchy was built
    Its not creating any attributes under the dimension so hoe to create the levelsRight click on hierarchy add Parent level and child level then pull the columns from your time dim to hierarchy

  • Combining/Merging Clips into one long clip in the project bin?

    I'm shooting on Panasonic P2 cards
    Since P2-material comes in as an individual clip per recording, it's quite different from working the way we're used to with one long clip using cassettes. My wish is to merge these clips to one, but I'm having some challenges. This is what I've tried:
    1. In Project window, I try to mark several clips and drop them to the source window, but only one of them appears at ones (the rest is in the dropdown-box above the window).
    2. In Project window, I mark several clips, go to Clip, but the option Merge Clips are greyed out (why? is there a format limitation for this function?)
    3. In Project window, I mark several clips, add them to a new seqence and use the sequence as a source for my main sequence. BUT, the limitation is the audio. My output should be a stereo sequence. Adding the source-clips to a stereo-source-seqence, makes of course the audio coming from the source-sequence a stereo track. My wish is to preserve four mono-tracks. I've tried making a source-seqence with a 16 track mono master, but this one won't add to the main seqence (which has a stereo master).
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Assuming we're talking about shorter takes and not a longer, spanned clip, I don't think what you want can be done in PP.  Nesting will always bring the audio over as one track.
    You may have to skim the clip sequence in the Program Monitor and copy/paste the portions you want to use into a second sequence for output.  This will preserve the audio.

    I have following two queries. How I can convert these two queries into one with the same result ?

    I can UNION these two queries, but, is there any way I can write a single query with which gives me same result as above two queries?
    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You can do something like this, which will be more efficient than a UNION:
    SELECT  id, vdate, vendorname, venddate, vid
    FROM  vendor
    WHERE  (   (    -- Conditions that apply only to q1
                               processid = 32
                AND  vid       IN (SELECT vid FROM view_vid WHERE type = 'PDX')
                AND (id,vdate) NOT IN ( SELECT id, vdate
                                        FROM   vkfl_is
                                        WHERE  task_id = 55
                AND (id,vdate) IN ( SELECT id, vidate
                                    FROM   market_data
                                    WHERE  marketed_date IS NULL
            OR  (  -- Conditions that apply only to q2
                     processid = 20
                AND  vid       IN (SELECT vid FROM view_vid WHERE type = 'PBX')
                AND (id,vdate) NOT IN ( SELECT id, vdate
                                        FROM   vkfl_is
                                        WHERE  task_id = 40
                AND (id,vdate) IN ( SELECT  id, vidate
                                    FROM  market_data
                                    WHERE  region_date IS NULL
                   -- The remaining conditions apply to both q1 and q2
    AND     venddate   IS NULL
    AND     id         NOT IN (SELECT id FROM location)
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post  a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
