How to reposition split screen clip keeping complex keyframing?

New to PP and trying to learn best practices for split screen sequences.
Lets say the screen is split into 3 vertical panels each with its own video of a person, the panels created by cropping. Each person has been meticulously position/scale/cropping-keyframed to center their faces in the middle of the vertical panel, rather than bouncing around the frame like in the original clips.
How do I reposition this center panel to the left side with one fell swoop, keeping all the keyframes so the face is still centered in the panel?

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

    yeah ^ please help me

    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.

    1) Move a clip (or any portion thereof) from your Event clip to your project and place it where you need it.
    2) With the newly added clip still selected in your project, grasp and move the right and left handles to set the exact frames you wish to use as your "in" and "out" points.
    3) Select the "Spit" option to segment the selected area into what you want to keep and what you don't need.
    4) Select the segment(s) you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove it/them from the project window.
    5) Repeat as needed to create your sequence of segments and then add titles and transitions as needed.
    Note: Since your editing in iMovie '08 is non-linear, non-destructive, and "by-reference," you can source the same content multiple times to a single project or even to multiple projects and overlap your "splits" since they are "logical" rather than physical.

  • How to use split screen on a mac like on windows 7

    how to use split screen on a mac like on windows 7

    It does not function the same as windows, in that it does not have an automatic snap function.  You can put multiple apps up side by side though.  You might want to consider using Spaces instead.

  • How do you split video clips?

    I want to split video clips so that they can begin when I want them to and end when I want as well. I'm new to the software and I don't really know how to do some things.

    There's a lot of good info in your manuals. Always a good place to start. I'd also reccomend Tom Wolsky's (he's a regular contributor here) books.
    Having said that, basically, take your clip and put it in the Viewer. In the Viewer, shuttle around till you find the piece you want .. set an In point where the shot should begin, set an End point where you want it to end. Now grab that shot in the Viewer and drag it over to the right; some little submenus will pop up, choose Overwrite and that puts it into the Timeline. You can also use F10 to overwrite the short to the Timeline.

  • How do I split a clip?

    Today I downloaded the Final Cut X free trial and so far I like it! What I loved was the old iMovie and I've found almost everything I remember from the old iMovie. I haven't found "Split Clip At Playhead."  Let's say I have a 45-minute video clip of five people making speeches. I want to split the clip into five clips, one for each speaker. With the old iMovie I moved the playhead in between the first and second speakers and split the clip, moved the playhead between the second and third speakers and split that clip, etc. Then I just set the in and out points for each clip, move the five clips into the timeline, add transitions and titles, and I'm done. How do I do this in Final Cut Pro X?
    What I'd really like would be a document called "Final Cut Pro X for iMovie 1-6 Fans." Maybe I'll write it. :-)

    Is this because iMovie was a destructive editor, and Final Cut Pro X is non-destructive? So you do your edting in the timeline, not in the browser window? I guess that makes sense.

  • How to get split screen on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2?

    Hi! I recently purchased a lenovo pro 2 and I am loving it. Just one quick question, though. I know your able to have split screen (two completely separate windows on the same display, i.e have Google Chrome on the right half of the screen, and say Word on the other half of the screen). And I am not talking about Windows Snap Window feature.  I thought this was possible to do but have no clue on how to activate it. Thanks for any help in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    split screen only works on metro apps. you need to use the snap for desktop apps. You can run Metro IE and split screen it with MS Word.

  • How to eliminate split screen after browser restore?

    FF 29.0.1 running on OSX 10.8. From time to time, starting FF (after killing it) and restoring all sessions, results in each tabbed window displayed in a split screen. The upper portion is is about 4" high, followed by a seam, then the actual site. Resizing can completely eliminate the useful portion - unable to shrink beyond the seam.
    Opening a new tab results in a split screen; opening a new window displays normally.
    The problem only occurs after restoring tabs - never when FF is closed normally.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi nxtr, your Safe Mode test strongly suggests that one of your extensions is creating the gap.
    If you haven't recently checked for extension updates, you can do that from the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, above the list, click the "gear" button and Check for Updates.
    If they are already up-to-date, you could try selectively disabling the nonessential ones. Hopefully the problem is caused by one of those.

  • How to i split audio clips? Imovie 11

    I'm trying to split a voice over audio clip  I recorded in Quicktime and imported into my project. I can't find the precision editor nor can I select the clip and activate the split clip command under the Clip menu.  It's dim.  I cannot find out how to split it.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    I'm using iMovie 11.

    Using iMovie 11 on Mac 10.8.3, when I right-click on a sound track, this is the menu I see:
    No 'split clip'.

  • How do I split a clip in iMovie 09?

    When I'm in a clip within an event, there is no option to SPLIT CLIP if I right click, and CMD-Shift-S does nothing.
    What am I missing? I have imported clips that imported as one long clip, so I need to split up the clip and then split up the event.

    No need to use Toast. Just find the EyeTV file in the finder (right-click/reveal in Finder).
    Then, right-click on Finder file and select "Show Package Contents".
    Drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip
    From Streamclip, I usually export as Apple Intermediate Codec. It is slightly smaller than a DV file, and iMovie seems to work better with AIC than DV. But DV is OK too if you prefer DV.
    Note: I usually deinterlace as I export from Streamclip into AIC.
    Also, in MPEG Streamclip, when you export the clip, give it a name like clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext (where ext is the extension such as MOV or DV or MP4 - streamclip should apply the extension automatically based on your export codec.)
    iMovie will automatically place it in an event in the correct month and year, and the date metadata will work.

  • How to do a locked split-screen between two different video tracks

    I'm creating two time-lapse videos and then I'm planning to to play them side-by-side in one sequence.
    The way I was planning to do this was to scoot one video track over using the "center" tool in the motion panel, and then crop it on its right-hand edge to reveal the other video track beneath.
    The problem with doing this however is that, as the camera gets bumped or moved slightly as the months go on, and I then have to cut and reposition the "center" location for the clip, I have to then adjust the amount of crop on that video clip since I've moved its position. This means the center split-screen location keeps changing as I move the video around.
    Is there a way where I can just lock the split screen smack in the middle of the frame as I tinker with each side of the frame (video track) independently? I tried adding a split-screen transition in the very beginning to the top track, but I can't make cuts on a transition to then adjust the motion attributes.
    Any ideas on how to simplify this process would really be appreciated. Originally, I thought there was no easier way to do this, but I was so blown away by all the answers to my motion effects question today (and all the things I never knew about FCP) that I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if someone out there had one more ace up their sleeve. If not, I'll assume this is one of those things that can't be simplified anymore than what I'm doing.
    Thanks again guys,
    Chris

    Though David's Motion Tracking suggestion would eliminate alot of later finagling, you could try something similar to Reink's, without using Photoshop.
    Try this...
    1. In a seperate timeline, drop a Matte/Color Solid into the new timeline (using dropdown at bottom right of Viewer window).
    2. Dbl-click the color solid, click on Controls tab and set Parameters as H/0, S/0, B/100. Then click the Motion tab/Crop Right-50.
    3. Click the Viewer's Video tab and go to Export/QTConversion/Still Image (png) and name it something like WhiteMatte_CropR50.
    4. Import that into your project.
    5. Now with your two timelapse clips on V1 and V2 with in/out points at head/tails and both tracks highlighted...'Nest' the sequence...Main Menu/Sequence/Nest Item(s).
    6. Next, with the nested sequence active (single clip will look light purple)...option-double click on it and and drop an Image Mask Filter on it, then drag the WhiteMatte.png clip into the 'image well' (little box that has a question mark in it). Keep the channel on Luminance.
    7. Now, if you dbl-click the nest, it will open it's host sequence, that you can do your 'Motion Tab/Centering' on, without affecting the 50% split down the middle.
    May seem like alot of work, but it's not really.
    K
    p.s...there are probably other ways to do this as well.

  • Split screen and picture-in-picture

    So I just ordered a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Express preinstalled. I read a list of its impressive features and was so excited to use it.
    Now that I've opened it up though, I realize I have no idea what I'm doing! Could someone please give me some assistance? I would especially like to know how to create split-screen or picture-in-picture videos, how to do color and brightness/contrast adjustments, and how to save the final product. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks for any help ...

    This example applies to resizing and animating (moving) the clip.
    Double click a clip to load it into the viewer. Move the playhead in the timeline to where you want the effect to start. In the 'motion' tab, click the diamond shaped button to indicate the point at which the effect will take place.
    Move the playhead along a couple of seconds then adjust the 'scale' value to around 50. You will see a keyframe automatically being added. Move the play on again and change the value again to 25 for example. Repeat this at will then render the effect - 'alt' (or 'opt') R - before previewing it in the timeline.
    Different values and effects can be keyframed. For your next experiment, try using the 'desaturate' filter (from 'video filters') and change the values in the 'filters' tab after double clicking the clip.
    P.S. some keyframing features are not available in FCE - I don't know which as I'm using FCP.
    You'l probably be best advised to have a bit of time with the manual and books previously recommended. Do a search for tutorial too as there are a number of useful ones on this forum.
    Another tip, if you want to know something specific its usually recommended that you perform a search in the relevant 'Pro Apps: Video' forum - many of your queries as a beginner will already have been asked and it's generally regarded as good form to check there first.
    experiment a bit too - it's a great way of learning what and how the filters/effects work.
    Good Luck and welcome to the forum!

  • Split-screen in CS4

    Can anyone give me a quick guide how to do split-screen i.e. the left half of one clip joined to the right half of another clip? Thanks

    Quickest way I would say is to use the Crop Effect.
    Stack the two clips on top of each other and crop the top one.
    Use position to get the right composition in your frame and adjust the crop.
