How to group clips?
Seems an easy one, but, how can I group several clips together so they can be handled/moved as one.
A sort of "nest Items" feature from FCP.
Or a baking/grouping sort of action. I know that I can export it and re-import it again as one file, but that is "destructive". I'm looking for an non-destructive way... And faster as well... :-))
Thanks.

As I learn more about the program I keep looking for this elementary feature.
I think this is the concept that they call Timeslices. But what's missing there is the simple ability to nudge them. You can cut copy and paste them, but often you just want to slide it one or more frames in one direction.
Also the selection criteria is kinda wonky. The manual has a lot of key commands, but they don't seem to work the way they're supposed to.

How to use razor tool to cut multiple grouped clips?
When I group (for example) a audio/video clip with an additional audio track and then take the razor tool to the group of clips, the razor only cuts the original audio/video clip (not the additional one). They appear to be grouped correctly because when I select one, it selects all 3 grouped clips, or if I move one, it moves all of them. Anyone got a lil help? Thanks.
Make sense because you have "razored" the group. eg Cut through the clips at a point.
Not sure why you have grouped them if you are in a synching . FWIW Grouped items only act as a single entity as far as moving them around together or Trimming.
Show us your Sequence ( screen grab) so we can se what you are doing.
Meantime...Ungroup the clips"
and Lock or un target the track you dont want to "cut through" with the Razor Tool.
or. make your Cut and Drag the end of the audio back out to where you want it to end.
or Select the clips you want to Cut ( Shift Click) and use a Trim tool instead of the RAzor.

Here is How to Edit clips of the same loop, which were recorded on seperate tracks, in the same way
Whiteout conditions here in the northeast, it's a Blizzard!
Hopefully this helps someone because I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
This is for people who want to precisely loop (or edit in other ways) multiple clips in the exact same way, but that are on seperate tracks playing concurrently in Multi-track view, so for instance looping 3 different tracks recorded simultaneously from a drum machine and keeping the same exact placement of each track relative to each other when trying to get the loop right (or any other type of edit)
It's all about how you switch between Edit view and Multi-track view, and you CAN'T group your clips before going to edit view, although this is counter-intuitive.
The basic jist is simple, "Selections" in the timeline, transfer from Multi-Track to Edit View and Back to Multi-Track...but you most follow a certain procedure, here is the procedure:
WARNING: THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF THE SELECTION IS OF ONE CLIP PER TRACK!!! YOU CANNOT MAKE A TIMELINE SELECTION OF MULTIPLE CLIPS ON A TRACK AND HAVE THAT TIMELINE SELECTION TRANSFER TO EDIT VIEW, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
In Multi-Track view:
1) Switch the timeline to "Samples"
2) Make a "Selection" of the part you want to Loop and zoom all the way in to the start and end points to get the loop as precise as possible, if it's not perfect don't worry just get it as good as possible in Multi-track View, then in Edit View you can find the Zero-Crossing points.
3) Make sure the clips you want to edit are NOT GROUPED AT THIS POINT
Here is the part that got me - AFTER making your Selection in Multi-Track view - you have to go to Edit view in a certain way, so that you don't de-select your selection:
WARNING: Do NOT Double-Click the clip/file you want to Edit!!! Do not double left-click anywhere in MultiTrack View or you will de-select your selection.
note: You have to edit the files one at a time in Edit View, but if you go there using the correct procedure, you can transfer your selection you made in Multi-Track view.
4) Decide which clip is the hardest to one to loop (usually it's an instrument sample rather then a drum loop but you never know)
5) Instead of double-clicking a clip to Edit it, HOLD CONTROL AND LEFT CLICK THE CLIP YOU WANT TO EDIT ONE TIME, this will select the clip without de-selecting your TIMELINE SELECTION.
6) Now that the clip you want to edit is selected, You want to go to Edit View USING ONE ROUTE ONLY --> Simply click "Edit View"
^Make sure you Timeline selection is still in place and hasn't moved do to user error (e.g. accidentally clicking the timeline or shift-clicking and moving the selection by accident <--- which I do by accident when attempting to control+click)
7) If you followed the instructions exactly, You are now in Edit View with the selected clip along with the timeline selection you selected in Multi-Track view, showing it's exact timeline location at the bottom which is relative to the Multi-Track view
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO DE-SELECT THE TIMELINE SELECTION, AS THAT WILL DE-SELECT THE TIMELINE SELECTION IN BOTH VIEWS.
8) If you are having trouble looping without artifacts, To find the zero crossing points either go to edit > zero crossings or use shift+h or j for left edge, shift+K or L for right edge of the loop.
9) if you must adjust it manually to fine tune then make sure you shift click the file as not to de-select the entire timeline selection.
10) Once you have a perfect loop, zoom all the way in to the start and end points, and take note of exactly where the start and end points of the loop are located within the timeline.
11) Go back to Multi-track view
12 To trim the clips to to the exact timeline selection: Hold control+left_click each clip that needs adjusting one-time, then right click > group clips
13) BEING CAREFUL NOT TO DESELECT YOUR TIMELINE SELECTION, select your grouped clips by HOLDING CONTROL and clicking on any of the clips
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
WARNING: IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY CLICK WHEN THE DOUBLE ARROW ICON IS NOT SHOWING, YOU WILL DE-SELECT YOUR TIMELINE SELECTION AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START THIS ENTIRE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN.
15) Verify that your loop is looping correctly, in some tricky instances you may have to find different zero crossing points on the initial file you edited in edit view by repeating the above procedure, but this is unusual, although it just happened to me.
16) If everything went correctly, now all your clips on seperate tracks are looped in the exact same way, if you want to destructively edit each file down to it's loop size, you can keep your timeline selection and control+click a file then click "Edit" (the one in the toolbar of course), one by one destructively editing each file.
17) to extend the loop either set as a loop under "loop properties" and then just drag each file the number of times you want it to loop, or do it my way and right click the clip > duplicate and set the number of times to duplicate and whether to have them back to back or spaced, this is the quickest method for me.
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.
-Also, you don't HAVE to group the files as I did in step 12, you can drag the edges of the clips to the timeline selection one by one, I just find it easier to group them after you have set the loop on one of the files in Edit View.
-Remember, you can't select the files one by one and have the timeline selection transfer to Edit View IF you group the files prior to going into Edit View.
GOT ALL THAT? I sure as hell don't know if I do ...
All this could be easily avoided if Audition would simply let you edit multiple files simultaneously in Edit View relative to their position on the Multi-Track timeline.
I'd also like to know why when you do a full zoom in, neither the selection or the clips will snap to the ruler points, only to just before and after the ruler points on the timeline.
And also (and this may be my fault) I don't understand why when the tempo of my session is 89.8bpm, the timeline under the tracks says "90bpm" why does it round it off..?
Isn't that inexact and couldn't that present problems with syncing loops? idk I could be wrong I can't get my head around these issues because of lack of knowledge on the subject, if someone could shed some light that would be great.correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:

Can't disable new feature "collectively trim and fade grouped clips"
If somebody knows how to either disable this new functionality or override it with a keystroke please let me know.
This new feature is great, except for that I can't trim grouped clips in multi-track view the old way (from version 2.0). You used to be able to adjust the boundary of a single clip in a group - now it adjusts the boundary of all clips in that group.
This is a deal-breaker for me. :(Incidentally:
>on a more generic note, I'm seeing changes like this more and more in the software industry. Developers haven't got a clue how people use their software. When it comes time for V.Next they seem to rather enjoy removing functionality just because they themselves don't use it.
Adobe have very much been caught out by this in the past - which is why features that have been removed from Audition (eg the play list, and the whatever it was phase-shift function) have been put back, pretty much entirely due to end-user pressure. During development cycles, it's impossible to consult all of the end-users, although there are a couple of ways in which anybody can have a say - one is in the 'feature requests' forums, both here and at AudioMasters, and occasionally there's also the odd thread about specifics, which the developers also get to see.
One of my own pet peeves about this isn't so much the features that get altered (I can cope with that), but the lack of pre-settable options available. There are lots that could easily be there, like the amount of dBs of 'dip' in the centre of stereo panning, and an option to have the 'Solo' buttons working correctly by default (which they don't at present, IMO). Generally it's a lot of these little things that make the difference, often more so than the big ones. People like to have software set up for their own particular convenience, and Adobe should take a
careful note of that - I think it's more significant than they might realise. -
Issue with FCPX transition drag and drop and grouped clips...
hello when i do a alt G to group clip, i was unable to apply a transition to the end of this grouped selection...
drag and drop transition doesn't work...
- i try to let finalcut pro render the grouped part... it change nothing
- sometime drag and drop transtion does'nt work or a message ask to add the transtion to the clip... don't know why?
closing and starting finalcut pro x make things work for a time as soon as i don't group clip again...
need help please...You need to learn the concept of "Handles": these are the pieces of your clip that are before the start point and after the end point. The handles are used to create the transitions. One nice way to see how this works is by using the "Precision Editor" (to see it, select an edit point and hit Ctrl-E). In this picture, the parts surrounded by a red rectangle are the handles:
If you select the edit point and the select is in red, that means there is no handle there (no extra frames that can be used). When there are no handles, you either can't make a transition or get this dialog:
If you go ahead and click "Create Transition", the clip(s) will be shortened, because FCP will "pull" the right clip onto the left one to make the transition. -

How to group a report by formula field.
Hi,
I need to create a report based on the following report:
http://s464.photobucket.com/albums/rr8/einas121809/
This new report should be grouped by days and status. Then, each group should display the details of each record such as Report No, Open Date , Due Date and Summary.
It is not a problem to display the report details, but I need to know how to group them since it involve calculation.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
einas.Hello,
Right what you want to do is to get a crosstab which can be found in your toolbar or under Insert menu Insert --->Crosstab.
You might need to use a working day formula something like this
WhileReadingRecords;
Local DateVar Start := {StartDate}; // place your Starting Date here
Local DateVar End := {EndDate}; // place your Ending Date here
Local NumberVar Weeks;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local Numbervar Hol;
DateVar Array Holidays;
Weeks:= (Truncate (End - dayofWeek(End) + 1
- (Start - dayofWeek(Start) + 1)) /7 ) * 5;
Days := DayOfWeek(End) - DayOfWeek(Start) + 1 +
(if DayOfWeek(Start) = 1 then -1 else 0) +
(if DayOfWeek(End) = 7 then -1 else 0);
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 to Count (Holidays)
do (if DayOfWeek ( Holidays<i> ) in 2 to 6 and
Holidays<i> in start to end then Hol:=Hol+1 );
Weeks + Days - Hol
If you need to calculate bank holidays then you have to create an array like this
//Holiday Listing formula to go into the report header of the report.
BeforeReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays := [
Date (2003,12,25),
Date (2003,12,31)
0
The workingdays formula needs to go into the Row and then distinct Count your orders. That should give you how many orders took x amount of days.
Then you need to further develop your formula so that it shows <20 days, more than 20 days etc.
Create something like this first and then ask further questions if you are stuck.
Hope this helps

thank you... much appreciated.Studio X has given one suggestion.
MPEG Streamclip is another:-

It is free but your computer may not have the QT MPEG 2 Playback Component which costs $20 from Apple as a download.
If you have access to an Analogue-DV converter you can use that. Also a DV camcorder which has Analogue IN.
If you have Final Cut Pro installed, you will have the QT component.

Can't understand how this group by clause works
The Schema is as below: (http://www.psoug.org/reference/rollup.html)
CREATE TABLE grp_rep (
person_id NUMBER(3),
division VARCHAR2(3),
commission NUMBER(5));
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'SAM',1000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'EUR',1200);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',1450);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',700);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'SEA',1000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'SEA',2000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',800);
COMMIT;
Query1:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY person_id, ROLLUP (person_id, division);
Query2:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division, ROLLUP (person_id, division);
The results of query1 are okay. It has results from rollup and group by person_id.
But, in Query2 results of rollup are missing and results of group by division is there.
Anyone can explain how the group by clause works when there are multiple columns involving CUBE, ROLLUP and simple column names?
Regards.Thank you shoblock!
but, What i m really looking for is,
How group by clause works when i add regular column along with RollUp in group by clause?
I have understood simple group by clause like
...group by column1,column2,column3....
n I also know simple rollup clauses like
...group by rollup(column1,column2,column3,...)
But my Problem is how does this work:
...group by column2,rollup(column1,column2,...)
...group by column1,rollup(column1,column2,...)
See below Results:
Query1:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY person_id,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Result:
PERSON_ID DIVISION SUM(COMMISSION)
1 EUR 2950
1 SAM 1000
2 EUR 1200
2 SEA 3000
1 3950
2 4200
1 3950
2 4200
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Query2:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Result:
PERSON_ID DIVISION SUM(COMMISSION)
1 EUR 2950
2 EUR 1200
1 SAM 1000
2 SEA 3000
1 EUR 2950
2 EUR 1200

How to group or print index of Event Key Photos?
I am making some backup dvds of my library for off site storage. I would like to make an index print of the event key photos but can not figure out how to group them. Can you make a smart album (clearly iphoto has them tagged in some way)? Is there just an option for printing them that I can't find? There must be a more elegant solution than opening each event and copying the key photo to an album...

Either that or tag them with a keyword, flag them or rate them and use that as the basis of a smart album.

How to group together contacts?
Hi there, I would like to know how to group people/phone numbers together under one category. For instance I have a ton of people from work I need to put into my phone but want to put them and their numbers all under one category like "Work" and be able to open it up and theres all my contacts from work. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I did look for answers but I kept getting things about grouping emails and thats not what I'm looking for,
You can create groups of contacts on your computer, then sync them on your iPhone. But you will not be able to select a group as text recipient. As of today, you need an application for that. I have create a free application, Easy Group, to handle this missing feature.
