How to move clips in mode like ProTools "shuffle" mode

How do I grab something in the timeline, move it elsewhere, and have the surrounding clips snap the leaving space shut and make space for where it's going, leaving the timings after the move untouched? The closest I can get is option dragging, which leaves a copy behind, which then can be ripple deleted. Any way to to this without leaving the copy in the original location?
In other words, if I just want to reorder some clips I want to just toss them into new locations, with the clips moving to accomodate. RTFMd over and over! : )
Thanks!

There are couple of different ways. But you're working with multiple tracks and different types of media in those tracks so the results are completely unpredictable unless you either do it manually or understand how ripple delete and close gap work. That is, if you lift a pice of video with linked audio tracks and then close the gap they left without carefully looking at it, all of the tracks will drop to the left and that can cause tons of items to suddenly lose their temporal relationships.

Great, but you didn't know what to look for. Try looking up close gap and ripple delete.

  • AS3 How reload Movie Clip.

    hi,
    1,How reload Movie Clip...?
    2,i think when we remove a Movie Clip,children and all instance object are also removed  from stage but it still use memory of server..right..?

    1.  how'd you load the movieclip to start.  (ie, copy and paste the relevant code, ONLY.)
    2.  readying displayobjects for gc (so they're no longer using memory) requires removing from the display list, removing all listeners and nulling all references.

  • How to move clips between events

    By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.

    By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.
    Close iMovie '08. At the "Finder" level, open the "iMovie Events" folder where you want to store your "new" event and create an new, empty folder with the name you wish to call the event. When finished, re-open iMovie '08. After it scans your drives, the new event folder name show up in your "Event Library" list as an empty event. At this time select the source "Event" so you can see the clips you wish to move. Simply drag these files from the source event and drop them on the name if the event to which you wish to move them. Using this process, iMovie '08 should internally update all required pointers as needed.

  • How Put Movie Clips On Touch?

    Moved my Touch to my MBP from PC. Music is fine, pics from Iphoto are fine. Apps are fine. How do I put movie clips on the Touch. On my PC I had been using Videora. Now that I am on a Mac, what do I use or what do I do?

    Found a complicated way. I still have Itunes on my PC. I put an SD card in the PC and dragged the clips from Itunes to SD card. Put the SD card in the Mac and dragged the clips into Itunes. It worked but might be more trouble than it is worth. Easier way????

  • How to move clip one frame at a time or nudge

    Tried searching this, as I'm sure it's basic and in the owner's manual, but I can't find it:
    I can't control how far I'm dragging something across the timeline. Can I grab and nudge rather than grab and drag? I'd like to be able to move a clip one frame over.
    Thanks.

    If there's nothing in the way you can use the [ and ] keys or comma and period. Shift-bracket will move five frames.

  • How to create clipping paths shape like a slice of a circle?

    I want to make a DVD label by dividing the circle into 8 equal slices (like cutting a pie 4 times). In each slice I will put an actor's photo in it.
    I think I need to create 8 layers to house the 8 slices of photo, each layer gets a clipping path that is in the shape of a 45 degree slice of the circle. Once I have this setup I can paste photos into the layers and adjust the photos until it looks good in the confine of each slice.
    The question is how to create these clipping paths in the shape of a slice of the pie? I have already drawn a 120mm circle (using the elipse path tool) denoting the outside boundary of the dvd label. But I don't know how to cut it into 8 precise slices of 45 degree each. Help?

    Here's another way:
    Make a circle and a square that covers one quadrant of the circle. Select the square with the Path Selection Tool. Edit > Free Transform, using the reference point that corresponds to the center of the circle, and 90 minus the angle of the slice into the Horizontal Skew field. Hint: you can copy the results from the Windows Calculator and paste them directly into Photoshop for this. This will give you greater precision that you might care to enter by hand.
    Once you have committed the transform, select 'Intersect shape areas' in the option bar for the Path Selection Tool, and click Combine. There's your slice.

  • How to move clip frame wise in Final Cut Pro X 10.1?

    Hey,
    in the old Version (10.08 I believe) I have been able to move a clip framewise in the timeline with the arrow key. In the new version (10.1) however, the arrow keys move the cursor, not the clip. So, how can I move the clip framewise? I don't want to use the mouse for that.
    Kind regards,
    Nils

    Thank you very much sir. Not sure if I did not remember correctly or if it changed, however, comma and period work fine. :-)

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • How to trick nano into thinking like a shuffle?

    I am tired of the 300+ songs in various smart playlists I created on my nano. How do I get rid of these and randomly select, say, 100 other blues songs from my library? Is there an easy way to do something like an "autofill" on the nano, or set different parameters on the smart playlists to select completely different songs?

    Here is the joy of smart playlists: You create one big playlist. Then you create smart playlists that pull songs out of the one big playlist, but add a new condition.
    Say you create a big playlist called Rotate. Now you can create a new smart playlist with the conditions Playlist is Rotate AND Genre is Blues. Same songs, but you're pulling out just the one genre. And this playlist takes up no space on your nano, as the songs are already there.
    Another technique is to enable the Genre menu on your nano. Then you don't have to create new playlists to break out different genres.

  • How do I inactivate all other movie clips except the running one.

    Hello guys
    I would need help to inactivate all other actions on movie clips while the active movie clip is running. So in my flash scen when the user makes a roll over on a movie clip I would like that movie clip to play all frames in that movie clip before the user can roll over on an other movie clip. So the active movie clip don't gets interupted. What actionscript 2.0 should I look for?
    Thanks!
    /Klas

    You could use a boolean variable in a conditional that wraps whetever functionality the objects have to prevent them from taking those actions.  So when you rollover an object it starts to activate its animation or whatever and sets that boolean to prevent any others from doing the same.  And when it completes its actions it rets the boolean.
    If you show your rollover code it might be easier to show an example, but it might be something like...
    var allowPlay = true;
    mc1.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
    mc2.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
    mc3.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
    function rolloverFunction(){
       if(allowPlay){
           allowPlay = false;
           this.play(); // or whatever action your rollover executes
    and when that animation completes the movieclip resets the allowPlay to true.
    _root.allowPlay = true;

  • Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3

    Hi.
    I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
    game i am working on ).
    And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
    animation with Flash player.
    There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
    drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
    blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
    the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
    filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
    "load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
    drawings.
    i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
    And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
    be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
    But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
    If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
    help fast.
    Thanks everybody.
    -Jimmy Gonzo
    EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
    yet... the animation goes too fast.

    It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
    frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
    being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
    A simple preloader could be something like:
    frame 1 label this as "preloader"
    frame 2 (insert the following commands)
    if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("init");
    }else{
    this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
    }

  • TabIndex on a Movie Clip

    I'm working on a project where I need to set the tabIndex on
    elements within the flash movie. I'm having a difficult time as it
    seems that nothing is really working for me. I have a main swf that
    creates an empty movie clip and then adds a swf file that has a
    movie clip that acts like buttons.
    I need those buttons to have a tabIndex. I saw this
    link
    to an adobe blog for how to make a movie clip have a tab index.
    It only works with case 7 and that is because it looks like
    it has a _root reference as all the other examples seem to not work
    for me in both IE and Firefox.
    Currently this is my code for the movie clip that is within
    the swf that gets loaded into the empty movie clip that is placed
    onto the main swf timeline.
    if (nextButton_mc._accProps == undefined ) {
    nextButton_mc._accProps = new Object();
    nextButton_mc.tabEnabled = true;
    nextButton_mc.tabIndex = 1;
    nextButton_mc._accProps.silent = false;
    nextButton_mc._accProps.name = "Next Button";
    nextButton_mc._accProps.description = "Click the Next Button
    to move to next page";
    Accessibility.updateProperties();
    Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?

    So i just tried diong this:
    _root.controls_mc.nextButton_mc.tabEnabled = true;
    _root.controls_mc.nextButton_mc.tabindex = 1;
    and that did not work either. So there's gotta be something
    that I'm totally missing here.

  • Add movie clip in a New Native Window

    Dear Friends,
    i have created an air application, which open a new window on
    click of a button and load the movie clip or a scroll pane with
    some items in it. it is working fine but the size is very big than
    the actual size of the movie clip. it shows like zoomed picture. it
    looks odd and i got sturck up. please help me to show the correct
    size of the scroll pane which i added (i used --
    nativewindow.stagge.addchild) in native window.
    Thanks and advance,
    Rahimhaji

    You must set the stage scaleMode property to noScale. (If you
    want to use one of the other scale modes -- even though there are
    better ways to achieve the same end in AIR, see the " About Stage
    properties" section of:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/launching_windows.html
    The article is about a Flex application, but the stage
    properties section applies equally to Flash. )
