I haven't used FCP in 2 years...

Been using Media Composer for a while now and I've gone back to FCP for a project, but for the life of me I can't remember how to cut a clip without leaving a gap -basically the equivalent of the Avid "cut" function as opposed to "lift". I thought it was "ripple delete" but that leaves a gap.
Thanks in advance

Welcome back!
you're going to kick yourself.
Mark in and out with the I & O keys. Hit the little delete button on the keyboard-- next to the "end" key THAT's a ripple. The big delete key is the lift. I don't know what version of the software you're using, but make sure that you've got the autoselect thingies on the timeline selected for the tracks you're trying to delete. THAT'S a dumb feature in my book, but hey, I'm only one user.

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • It's been two years since Windows 7 64 bit computers came out. At what point is Firefox thinking of providing a browser that is compatible with this. I haven't used Firefox for 2 years as a results. And what exactly is Waterfox?

    If you do a search on the web, you will discover that I am far from the only one who finds that she cannot use Firefox because it is incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I'm pretty sure there must be hundreds of thousands of users out there that can not use Firefox for the same reason. At what point are you thinking of updating your browser?
    Also are you connected to Waterfox and is it safe?

    In device manager tick Show hidden devices, under view on the toolbar.
    If DM cannot see it you cannot install a driver, not sure why that hardware will not get detected.

  • Quicktime won't open for me and I can't locate it in activity monitor. Haven't used it for a year or so.

    Quicktime won't open for me. It was fine about a year ago. Not coming up in activity monitor. What do I do to fix this?
    Would appreciate any help as I am not particularly computer savvy.
    thanks

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • I haven't used firefox for 2 years and I uninstalled it. Now I want it but installation box says I have to close to uninstall previous version. After PC reopens nothing else occurs

    I have been in to Control Panel/Add and Remove installations to search Mozilla firefox and there is nothing showing.
    I have tried removing all firefox entries with the regedit but some of these items will not remove. I suggest a professional form of uninstaller to get all these items off regedit that can clean it up. Then I might be able to install without a hitch.

    Check the task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and look for firefox.exe in the processes tab. If it's running, close it.

  • How do I get into my trophy if I forgot password?  Need to use it because my iPhone face cracked and I need to use my Trophy until my new iPhone comes in, but I forgot the passcode, as I haven't used it for over a year.  Help???

    I need to use my old Trophy phone for a couple of days until I get my new iPhone, but I forgot my passcode, as I haven't used it in over a year.  How do I get in?

        Let's get your phone unlocked, pb1441! When the passcode is forgotten on the HTC Trophy, a Factory Data Reset would need to be done. Here is a link with the steps http://vz.to/1ofEiHx. Be sure to follow the ones listed under Alternate Reset Method.

  • My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

    My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening? 

    It is important to understand that Mail uses TWO servers, a Receiving Server and a Sending Server.
    When you create a new mail message, or reply to a message, the Sender server is shown in the message composition window like this:
    That drop-down window allows you to select which of the Sending Servers you previously set up should be used.
    In general, once you choose a Sending server, its choice will "stick" for all future replies to messages from that Receiving mailbox.

  • Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

    You actually want a vertical video??
    What would you show that on?!

    In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
    Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
    Window -> Show Movie Properties
    select "Video Track"
    select "Visual Settings" from lower window
    check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
    Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
    Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
    FILE -> Save
    You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

  • Remote Voice Over Workflows using FCP - thoughts?

    I am going to try and keep this as simple as possible.
    I am Producer and host for an Australian Drag Racing Show that we air nationally...
    We record these shows in Full 1080 HD using modern XFILE systems (EVS) using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.
    Our ENG/EFP team use XDCAM (full 1080i HD).
    We edit these shows using FCP 7 amongst a few suites.
    I also do some offline content on my 17inch i7 MBP using FCP too.
    My question is thus:
    The Post Production Team are based in Sydney on the east coast, whilst I am based in Western Australia - this is like being in LA in comparison to New York!
    I want to reduce my travel commitment by air, as in the past I have travelled weekly to commentate these shows (40+ shows a year!)
    I have - as does the production house - a reasonably good ADSL Internet connection.
    I do a lot of Producing and program checks using iChat Theatre within FCP 7. It is quite good.
    What I want to get to though is a way in being able to more often commentate these shows remotely from home, without the need for me to physically having to be across country on every occasion - for my sanity's sake.
    My co-commentator also lives near me, however our editors are all based across country, together in Sydney.
    I see the following options as being the way to do this:
    OPTION 1.
    When we ingest (log and transfer) the vision, I will always be in Sydney at that time. There are usually several shows generated from this vision.
    I copy the Quicktime MOV files that are for use in the shows to my external (eSATA) HD.
    Editors in Sydney cut the racing components of our show. They then email me the FCP project file.
    (I have FCP, the required Audio and Mics)
    Then, I open this FCP Project File and re-link and re-render as required once I receive this and we commentate the shows using the VO utility within Final Cut.
    I then do an Audio export only and send the editors the updated FCP Project file, for them to receive and re-link the vision as required, sound mix and print.
    OPTION 2.
    The Editors cut the shows, then export either within FCP or Compressor a reduced quality file size to send via FTP or sendspace.
    I then import this vision locally into FCP, render the vision and commentate it accordingly and just send back the audio.
    SO:
    What would you all suggest as the easiest and best way to do this. We do have tight work timeframes in terms of getting content to air.
    I think Option1 is by far the best, and what I am not sure about is if I did Option2 - what settings for export and I want to avoid bogging down the editors on handling cumbersome vision exports anyway?
    Thoughts?
    Dean...

    I would probably go with option 2, myself - I usually export my cuts and run the movie thru compressor with the H.264 LAN or H.264 800KBPS presets. These are found under Apple/Other Workflows/Web/Streaming/Quicktime 7/
    These take up roughly 10MB per minute and 5MB per minute respectively.
    While I have used Option 1 (duplicate media, transferring a project file), this can get problematic when the editors have generated media - like effects, color correction, etc...

  • I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success.  Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

    Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug)  I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years.  I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

    YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!  I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!
