How to move multiple subtitle clips?

Hi!
I want to move multiple subtitle clips in the timeline. How can i do that? I want to select multiple subtitles and then drag them to left about 2 minutes. Just click+drag doesn't work. I didn't find help in the manual also...
Waiting for the small tip.
Timo

Hi Timo
As you have discovered you can't drag all the subs in the timeline - you can only drag one at a time... which is why you will find most people recommend creating your subtitles outside of DVD-SP and then importing them. If you have to adjust them you can then go back to this file created outside and adjust the in outs of the timecode.
One way you could save the situation (I''m assuming you made the subs in DVD-SP) is to export an item description of the track then use a little utility called Subtitler
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
This can extract those subtitles back out of the item description and can (I believe) adjust the timings as well and create a DVD-SP friendly STL file which you can re-import into SP... then if any others need tweaking you can go back to that external file adjust, re-import...
I've only ever tested it to see if it coul indeed extract a sub from an item description so can'tr vouch for it's other abilities - we normally use Lemony or Subtitle Workshop on a PC to adjust subs
Hope that's some help

  • Moving multiple subtitle clips

    I have not found out how to move multiple subtitle clips at a time on a track. I have tried to highlight multiple clips and then move them but then only one will move at time. Any help?

    Let me add a little more. I am putting together about 100 hours of footage with the subtitles displaying some data that will change every second. So lots and lots of subtitles. I'm importing them all as a .stl file and it creates a new clip for each segment of data (1 second). Is there another way to not have them divided up like that?
    Thanks.

  • Script for moving multiple subtitle clips in the works - EXAMPLES NEEDED!

    Hi everyone!
    One severe deficiency of DVD Studio Pro is the inability to move multiple subtitle clips back or forward in a track by an arbitrary offset.
    I ran into this problem while I was creating a DVD from an EyeTV recording of a DVB broadcast, the subtitles from which have to be extracted to a SON file and a bunch of .bmp images with a separate piece of software, ProjectX. For some reason, ProjectX messed up the subtitle timecodes, so I had to move the entire track forward by a fixed amount. Unable to do this inside DSP, and unable to find tools that would do this for SON files, I set out to code my own tool with Python.
    Currently, I have a very simplistic working version of the script, which I successfully used to shift the timecodes of the aforementioned SON file.
    This got me thinking: I can't be the only one who has faced this problem. So, in the spirit of giving something back to the community, I thought I'd try my hand at turning this little script into a versatile tool for timescaling several different subtitle formats.
    If possible, I would like to receive real-life examples of several different plaintext (no binary formats, thanks) subtitle formats from you guys, both those that DSP supports and those that it doesn't.
    For now the tool only shifts entire tracks and works on the command line, but who knows, maybe I'll create a GUI at some point and add the ability to shift specific subtitle clips instead of whole tracks - time permitting, of course.
    If you think you might have some juicy subtitles laying around, please reply or contact me directly by e-mail: elamaton (at) nic.fi. Don't worry, I won't redistribute anything you send me, it will only be used as test data.

    Sounds like a very good idea... but have you seen Subtitler:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
    Not to say you won't make a better version, and I'd be delighted if you did! Manipulating subs in DVDSP is not something I do any more - I use an external text editor for any job where more than a few subs are needed.
    The problem in DVDSP is that you cannot extract the subs directly, you have to export an track item description which has the subs and time code buried within the XML. You might find that PHP will give you a web based tool to extract the subs and time codes and write a text file, which you can then manipulate.
    In fact, wouldn't a web based tool be a good idea? People could upload the track description, it would export the subs and you could get it to adjust the timecodes and write a text file back in the correct format to import back in to DVDSP. Once the subs are in a text file it is a simple matter to manipulate them further...

  • How to move multiple clips with transitions?

    Im still transitioning from FCP7 to FCP 10.1.2 and can't believe I have missed the lesson that explains how to move multiple clips with transitions.
    Up till now I have tried several work arounds including deleting all the transitions then using the (P) Position tool to move the clips from the primary track to some track above it then re adding all the transitions.  This is a function I do on a daily basis.  Am I missing something?  Please help!
    Thank you

    With some further investigation, the transitions have nothing to do with my problem.  In my case there was a tiny “Black gap slug” within the group that was preventing me from being able set it on top of another group of clips or gap someplace.  But even with the gap removed… I can move the clips on top of another group but the transitions stay behind on the primary (Magnetic)
    In the screen shot you can see what happens when I move a group out of the primary (magnetic) timeline onto a gap.  All the transitions get left behind. 
    Ive notices that Cutting and pasting will only paste the sequence some other place on the primary (magnetic) timeline for me.
    An example of why I would want to put a cropped/ resized group on top of another group is to do picture in picture effects or if I wanted to create a background behind a set of adjusted clips.

  • How to move multiple emails from Mail to my folders on the hard drive

    I would like to be able to move multiple emails at a time from a given mailbox to a selected folder on the hard drive in a format that I can subsequently read.
    I know I can move them one at a time in RTF. And either RTF or HTML would be fine (along with whatever attachments) as a format.
    But I can't seem to find either a command or a format that will allow me to do this.
    My goal isn't archiving -- I want easy access to these emails and their attachments. I just want to get them out of Mail and into the folders on my hard drive that have other documents with related content.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me.

  • How to move multiple components into a Tab Component and still keep layout?

    I have created a Combination Chart with multiple combo boxes and a slider on my Xcelsius Canvas.  Now, I realize that I want to put all of this into a Tab Set Component.  How can I move everything into this new Tab Component without messing up all the layout and alignment I have done on all my components already?  I tried shift-selecting everything and doing a drag --> drop into the Tab Canvas but they just all stack on top of each other.
    Can this be done?  Would it be wiser to start a new Xcelsius document, place a Tab Set Component on the canvas and then copy --> paste from the original document into the new one? I'm reluctant to do this though (even within the same document) because it forces all components to be renamed back to their defaults such as Chart 1, Combo Box 1, etc etc.
    Edit:
    Bolded my biggest concern on this topic, can components be copy/pasted or cut/pasted and still retain their original name?

    i think this scenario would work fine for you
    choose all the components you want to move from the "Object Browser"
    you can show the Object Browser from the View Menu
    after you select them all, you can drag them to your Tab component
    or you can make them as a group, so it will be easy to move them as the same layout they have.
    to make them as one group
    select them all, go to format menu, and select Group
    now you have all of them as one item, move them to the tab and then you can ungroup them the same way
    good luck

  • How to move multiple images in lr at one time from one subfolder to the next?

    How would i accomplish this procedure in lr5. I know you can click on an image  and drag it to the target folder.  But for multiple images this is the ? Thanks!!

    Same as you would do it in your operating system.
    You select multiple images (click, ctrl-click, ctrl-click, etc., or click on one image and then shift-click on another image to select the entire sequence) and then drag.
    Of course, you might also want to simplify your life and develop a workflow where you don't have to move photos from here to there by using keywords instead of folders to organize.

  • How to move all thumbnail clips into project library for editing?

    Hi there ...
    I haven't used imovie 08 for quite a while ... and I've forgotten how to do a major step .. which is leading to a lot of frustration. I need to drag all my thumbnails into the project library and have them available for editing. ANy way I try it now .... it seems to create one big clip in the project library .. so when I want to add a title or something ... when I drag it over to the clip ... it selects to add to the whole movie. Somehow I need to retain the individual thumbnails or clips ... so when I try to add effects it is just added to one clip ... not all of them ...
    I had this problem before and I can't remember how I moved all the separate clips from the event library to the project library and had them retain their individual clip format available for edit...
    CAn anyone help me .... thanks ....

    Hi,
    This is a shot in the dark but: if it is anything like 09 there is a little slider in the bottom right hand corner of the project window which, if it is all the way to the right will only give you the whole movie.
    Pull it to the left to give you different thumbnail settings.
    Hope this works.

  • How to compile multiple video clips in a storage bin for future projects?

    I want to stock pile all of my favorite selected video snippets into bins where I can easily access them at will. I don't want the hundreds of optional video snippets clogging up the project I am working on at hand. Is there a way where I can choose and drag my favorite selected video snippets from a separate window into a new project?
    Any wisdom is much appreciated,
    Thank you.

    You can mark certain video frames in events as favorites. Then when you bring up an event, you can select to only see the favorites. Use the Favorites tool. [Here is a good video tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mark]
    You can also mark video on events with keywords, and select by keyword. [Video Tutorial here|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#tag]
    In both of these solutions, the clips remain in the original event, not in a different bin, however.

  • How to move multiple folders to new location?

    I have many folders containing photos. There are located like this:
    - photos 01
    - photos 02
    - photos 03
    etc...
    I want to move these folders under differernt folders. For instance, 2008 will contain all folders with photos from 2008. But now LR2 asks me to confirm the location of each folder! How can I have LR do a simple check into the new folder I give it to check if it contains other missing shoots?

    In the Organizer you can switch to Folder Location View by clicking the Display button (near top right)
    You can then expand he folder tree in the left hand pane and drag and drop.

  • How to move multiple tracks from one location to another on HD and keeping iTunes updated?

    Hi all
    I'd like to move/re-arrange some subdirectories of my iTunes' main folder and I'd like to keep iTunes library updated without broken links without needing to re-imports the moved albums/tracks. Is there any method to do this? Even with the help of some utility or app?
    thanks in advance!
    luca

    iTunes works this way.  You add a file. It makes a note of its location and metadata stored in the file and adds this to its own library database. 
    Note: All my answers are with reference to iTunes 7.5  (yes, 7.5). I've stopped trying to keep up with Apple's newer stuff which is why I rarely come here anymore.
    Answers to your specific questions.
    1&2)  I think I have in the past copied a file with the identical name over an existing file and iTunes was fooled into thinking it was the original file.  However, it didn't update the metadata in its own database until I highlighted the file briefly in a playlist.  This causes the original file to be re-read.  The same thing happens if I use a third party metadata editor to change the metadata in a file.  iTunes will continue to display the old data until I briefly select the file in a playlist or it starts to play the file.
    You can, by the way, add two files with the identical name (but in two different folders obviously) and iTunes will add them both as individual entries, even if the metadata is identical.
    3)  I don't have iTunes Match obviously (I can't even see the Store anymore with iTunes 7).  My third hand understanding is it won't do anything to your original files.  If it finds a match it will automatically download the match to your iTunes folder as if you had all the preferences settings set to use it normally.  I'm guessing you will then have two files for that track and you'll need to work on cleaning up the lesser quality one unless you want to just leave it.  Again, can't speak from experience.
    I have both preferences options de-selected and don't want to select them to test my reply. I don't want iTunes to do either because I have media organized by kind and source over two internal hard drives and 3 partitions.  I 100% manage my media manually and have always done it that way.  I think option 2 has iTunes restructure your folders according to album and artist.  I deselected both because i didn't want to constantly be fighting iTunes in its attempt to organize things how it wanted.
    If you're going to manage your media manually then you need to understand how iTunes works in detail and be willing to stay on top of it.  iTunes is designed to do everything on its own so people don't have to worry about things.  By unclicking its default preferences or moving files yourself in Finder or using a script to do so you are also figuratively clicking a button that says, "Okay, I know what I am doing and iTunes works."  Normally rule #1 with iTunes is never, never move a file to a different location in Finder and you'll see a lot of posts here from people who have "lost" items becaause they moved a folder or renamed it.  Maybe iTunes behaves differently when you deselect those preferences because I do this all the time and iTunes can track it as long as I don't move it to a different volume/drive.  I am very careful not to lose things or make duplicates, and of course I back up my computer before any major editing.
