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.

  • How do I move a compound clip from time line to an event in event library

    How do I move a compound clip made in the time line into the event library to store it for latter use?

    With *no other* clips selected, you can create a New Compound Clip (right click and select from popup) in the Event browser; Copy the compound clip in the storyline; double click new empty compound clip to open it in its own timeline and paste the copied compound clip. When you go back to the storyline, the compound clip in the Event browser is updated with the newly pasted compound clip item. If you want to uncompound the stored clips, when in the New compound's timeline, right click on the pasted compound and select Break Apart Clip Items...  The only problem you run into if you break items apart is if you have Effects applied to the storyline compound clip, you will lose those effects because the "new" compound in the Event browser will not have those effects and you can't copy/paste effects back into the Event browser, only items in a timeline.

  • How do I move a compound clip in one event to another event when it is used in a project?

    I've been using FCPX since 10.0.3. The recent upgrade to 10.1 is forcing me to reorganize everything. At some point during the upgrade cycle, Apple decided to store ALL compound clips inside events, automatically, upon creation. I was oblivious to this decision at first. So here's what happened as a result.
    I have 10 projects, numbered 1 through 10. My goal was to have one event for each project. However, it looks like most of my compound clips from my later projects got automatically created and placed in the first event (Video 1) instead of in the correctly numbered event. I'm pretty sure the clips INSIDE the compound clips are referencing the correct event; it's just the compound clip itself that resides in the wrong event. I'd like to move these compound clips over to the event they SHOULD have been created in, in the first place. However, I'm not sure if dragging and dropping them to the correct event will (a) create a new copy of the compound clip (one that is not referenced by any project whatsoever), or (b) move the original compound clip to the right event (removing it from the original/wrong event). Also, I'm really concerned about this, because I'm not sure how this affects the compound clip as used inside the actual project. I often have certain effects, color correction, etc. applied to the compound clip itself, and I don't want to lose that.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get these clips in order.

    You can freely drag compound clips between events as you've seen.
    If you do this between events in the same library, it will be a move by default; holding down the Option key will make it a copy operation.
    If you drag between events in different libraries, this will be a copy operation. All clips contained in the compound clip will also be copied (or references as sym links) to the target library in order to keep the library completely self-contained (libraries never references each other and never span volumes).

  • How do I share a compound clip between projects?...

    Hello everyone,
    I have created a 10 second intro/title graphic clip in Motion and published it to FCPX. I have added this generator sequence to a project's timeline in FCPX. I then added a lower third title set. I have edited my text (font, style, etc) of my lower third text to where I want it. I then created a compound clip of the two parts (title generator and the lower third text element).
    Now that it is dialed in, I need to be able to use it as a template for a series of videos I am working on. I can't seem to find a way to save it and make it availible to drop into other project sequences. I have tried to make a favourite out of the clip, I tried to copy and paste between projects (and into a new event)... nothing works fo rme.
    What am I missing?
    Any help is appreciated, thank you,
    Shea A.J. Comfort

    Hi Andy
    Thank you for the advice.
    I tried your method but there definitely seems to be a fault or glitch in my software.  If I highlight a number of connected clips and audio tracks the program will not copy and paste them into the newly created compound clip in my event library.
    I therefore decided to do it the slow ay and copy each individual item.  This worked fine until I came to the final audio track.  No matter how many times I copy this track Final Cut refuses to do this.  It always comes up with the previous item I copied.  I have retried this and it will copy all the items except one.  As you would expect I have done a fair amount of work on this track in the form of equyalisation, a comnpression filter and numerous keyframes on the level to come out with a mix that I am happy with.  I cannot however move it from the original project.
    I find this totally unacceptable and consider the software to be unfit for purpose as a result.  Unfortunately the apple terms and conditions state that all purchases are final and I have no recourse upon them for the fact that it does not work.
    I cannot see how an update will fix a problem with my software that is not universal to all users.  I believe that I can reinstall it without being charged again but am hesitant to do this for fear of losing the large amount of work that I have put into the project.
    My only hope now is to ring the premium rate number for customer support in the unlikely hope that it can be solved this way.

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where we are depreciating the assets (standard transaction ABAA) using a custom BDC program.

For this audit train we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.
    Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that follows the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. how to show this workflow details using Generic Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.

    Instead of copyg the std fm to z, do the following,
    1. Go to se37 open FM VIEW_KURGV in display mode.
    2. Click on the spiral icon on the top.
    3. Then in menu go edit->enhancment options -> show implicit enhancement
    4. """""""""""""""""""""" kind of lines will appear in the cde, just rt click on the line at the place u want to insert the code and select

  • How to create a generic method?

    Hi,
      I am using a std task TS01200205 to create instance for a BOR object. There are 2 key fields. I want to pass these 2 to the ObjectKey field.
    As for as I know, we have to concatenate these two Keyfields and assign it to 'Object Key' parameter.
      How can I concatenate the 2 strings in my Workflow? Is there any std way of doing it?
    Also what is a generic method? How to create it? Can I make use of generic method to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Sivagami

    If you want to use it in different workflows the best solution is probably to define an interface and define and implement the method there (a nice thing about BOR interfaces is that you can provide an implementation and not just the definition).
    All you then need to do is let your object type(s) implement that interface, which only requires adding the interface since the implementation has been done already.
    However, I am not saying this is a good way of approaching things, I'm just telling you how you can implement what you suggest.

  • How do I store a compound clip for later use or another project?

    I created a compound clip, then lifted it from story line and disabled it, its darkened (invisible doesnt play in the viewer),
    however its space runs as black empty frames when I play over it.
    I want to do 2 things:
    I wanted the footage proceeding it to shift in left to fill that black void and play, as the compound clip is "hidden". Is this possible?
    I also wanted to save that compound clip for use later in this project and possibly in another project, can I save it out as a separate clip set?

    I think I got it, lift the compound clip from storyline by right clicking and choosing "lift from storyline",
    drag the compound clip left or right out of its original position, select the grey slate where it used to be in the time line,  and hit delete. the clips to the right now shift left to fill its void.
    and the compound clip is automatically available in the event library folder its grouped clips originated from but now shown as a compound clip once you create that compound clip..

  • How to create HD H.264 Clips

    Hey, can anyone walk me through how to make a HD quicktime clip using the H.264 codec?
    I have a HDTV Capture / Tuner card and have captured some HD video clips. Such as the Wreckers singing Leave the Pieces on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Monday Night.
    Using my HD software, I have extractive the native mpeg file from the transport stream. However, I'm having trouble playing it back in quicktime/itunes. Video works fine, but there is no audio!
    here is the file details from the native hd mpeg.
    Audio [AC-3]
    Video: MPEG2 Video 1920x1080 29.97fps 45000Kbps [Video]
    I have quicktime 7.0.4 Pro and the MPEG 2 Component.
    I want to convert the MPEG to the H.264 Codec for better file size, and better performance and playback in itunes.
    If someone could explain the process to me of what I need to do to create this mpeg clip as a H.264 Clip I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks=)

    QuickTime cannot play MPEG-2 files with AC3 audio
    (it's mentioned in the FAQ
    ). I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip (freeware) to convert the
    track, both video and audio, to a format that
    QuickTime can import and then export, but I'm not
    certain, not having used it to convert any AC3.
    Probably someone else here can tell you for sure, or
    suggest an alternative.
    What format do you or any one else suggest converting to first that would not lose any quality from the video?

  • How to create a generic method which invokes Web Service

    Hi I have a question how to create Web Service client. In design mode I can't specify static url ?WSDL and process.
    I found briliant method in apache cxf library.
    for example
    JaxWsDynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance();
    Client clientA = dcf.createClient("http://soabpm-vm:8001/soa-infra/services/default/MailSender/mailsender_client_ep?WSDL");
    Object[] resultA;
    try{
    resultA = clientA.invoke(new QName("http://xmlns.oracle.com/SynchDSBpel20/MailSender/MailSender", "process"), "@", "body", "topic");
    }catch (Exception e){}
    In my case I should create a method with params (urls ?WSDL, URI, operetion name, param1, praram2, param3)
    Is there anything like CXF in ADF library's?

    This can be very easily done using a web service proxy (Select web services from the categories and web service proxy from the items).
    In the "Create Web Service Proxy" wizard, make sure you select JAX-WS client style. JDeveloper will use the JAX-WS web service API and JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) to generate all required classes and methods required to call a web services, binding Java method signatures to WSDL messages and operations.

  • How to create a generic error handling proxy?

    Hello,
    i have few services proxies.
    I want to create a generic error handling osb proxy which does only errorhandling.
    This proxy would be called by all my services.Now suppose my services proxies would throw any error,the control will pass to error handling block of proxy..from there i will call this generic errorhandling proxyusing a service callout or publish action.In this proxy i want to do all my error handling based on 'n' conditions.and i want to pass the message to the fault variable of services proxy..kindly suggest ways..*main challenge is passing the message to the fault variable of services proxy*

    Hi,
    For generic error handling framework or common error handling framework...create a bpel process which takes the error details payload and sends the inf/data as email to the particular receipients.
    create business process with bpel process and proxy using business service.so wen ever error occurs at stage or route or proxy level ..call error handler action in OSB.Assign error handler details to the bpel input payload.
    FOR EX:
    <soap-env:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <com:test>
    <com:ProcessInfo>testDetails</com:ProcessInfo>
    <com:BusinessProcessName>testprocess</com:BusinessProcessName>

    <com:ErrorDescription>{string($fault/ctx:reason)}</com:ErrorDescription>
    <com:ErrorDateTime>{fn:current-dateTime()}</com:ErrorDateTime>

  • How to create a generic TYPES?

    hello!
    what i try to do is following
    eg:
    when i call my function the user has the possibility to check the flag "show_button = 'X', and exports a table
    when this flag is checked i want to display an icon in the first row of this table, so i need to extend the table structure which i import and add another attribute.
    what i actually tried to achieve is this (but this is not working of course)
    function
    import:
          i_outtab type standard table.
    field-symbols:
          <itab> type standard table.
    assign i_outtab to <itab>.
    TYPES: begin of mytyp.
       types: i_bt type iconname.
      INCLUDE STRUCTURE <itab>
    TYPES: end of mytyp.
    and then i create a table with the type mytyp (which is not working, but i shows what i try to do)
    so is there a way to do this genericly?

    You can do that using the ABAP Run Time Type Services.
    Example:
    I have a function module Y_TEST with one Importing Parameter:
    *"  IMPORTING

    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     REFERENCE(IP_IT_DATA) TYPE  ANY TABLE
      DATA:
        gr_tabtype TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr,

        lr_itab    TYPE REF TO data,

        wa_component LIKE LINE OF it_component.
      FIELD-SYMBOLS:

    * Reading 1st line of itab and getting structure ->
      LOOP AT ip_it_data ASSIGNING <wa>.
        gr_struc ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <wa> ).
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP. "ip_it_data
    * Getting all components ->
      CHECK gr_struc IS BOUND.
      it_component = gr_struc->get_components( ).
    * Adding new field (X_SELECTED) to Component-Table ->
      wa_component-name = 'X_SELECTED'.
      wa_component-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'XFELD ').

    Hi all,
    i have a requirment like .....i have 10 sp's (sp1,sp2,sp3.....sp10) in a package named as 'generic_pkg'.
    procedure sp1 (abc IN varchar2,
    parameter IN varchar2,
    sp_out1 OUT varchar2);
    procedure sp2 (xyz IN varchar2,
    parameter IN varchar2,

    procedure new_sp (sp_name IN varchar2,
    parameter IN varchar2,
    sp_output OUT varchar2);
    now i will get sp name as input parameter and i have to check whether that sp is there on generic_pkg package or not.
    if sp found , then i have to call that sp and have to return output.
    the new_sp should be generic(i.e the new_sp should compatable to call any sp in the package 'generic_pkg'). my doubt is all the 10 sp's are having same inputs, but different no of outputs. How can i make new_sp as a generic sp?
    procedure new_sp (sp_name IN varchar2,
    parameter IN varchar2,
    sp_output OUT varchar2); ---- ? how to handle?
    please anybody can guid me with example....
    thanks in advance.....
