I need to show how colour separations work by gradually combining four single-coloured clips in the time line?

Hi, I need to demonstrate how colour separations work in the printing process, by animating the additions of each single colour plate to the overall picture. I have four jpegs, one of each colour, plus black, and I want to animate each one on the timeline to simulate the addition of each colour to the printed page. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Phil

Video and print do not work in the same way. Video uses additive color, print uses a subtractive method.
You will have to fake it. Choosing a simple dissolve and combine method, you would also need the interim stages, say a Cyan + Yellow plate and a Cyan + Yellow + Magenta plate, eventually dissolving into the full color version.
Another way: Have each of the 4 plates appear one after the other on a quad split screen. Allowing time for an explanatory narrative, simultaneously have the 4 plates grow to full screen and move into position. At this point, you can quickly fade to a full color plate.

  • In the time line, cutaways and titles are supposed to be linked on the top side of movie clips in the time line window.  I don't know what I did, but now they are linked to the bottom side.  How do I get them up to the top where they belong?

    I'm working on a movie in FCP and using cutaways and titles in many places in the timeline.  While working on a movie 2 days ago, and I don't know what I did, all the cutaways and titles are now linked to the movie clips from below rather than above.  When I "grab" them and drag them up to the top-side, as soon as I "release", they go back down.  Along the menu bar, I've check the "view", "modify", "clips", etc., looking for any thing that might refer to appearance of the time line.  What must I do to get the cutaways and titles back on top where they belong?  The audio clips remained properly-linked to the time line and play properly.  The cutaways and titles can be seen but do not play. 

    The cutaways and titles should be linked above the timeline clips, not below

  • How to reclaim spare space back at the end of my clips on the time line

    When I have edited stuff on the time line I find that through moving clips around that I have an empty space after my collection of clips that I have arranged. How do I reclaim that empty space back so that where my clips end so does the time line.
    I have tried saving the project and reopening it but this does not seem to do anything as I still have the space left.
    Any help would be gratefully received Thanx ahead of time.

    Control click on the empty space and, on the drop down menu, click on Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then, delete the clip you just created.
    If the empty space is at the end of your movie, you can do the same as above. But, if your playhead still continues moving past the end of the movie, then expand your time line as wide as possible and check down your time line for little bits of clips left over from editing, and delete those. Any audio that extends past your video clips at the end of the movie should be trimmed back as well, even if you have muted them.

  • No audio in source monitor but it works on the time line

    Hi
    I just started to use a Canon XF300 and I have noticed that when I double click on a file and it opens in the source monitor the video plays but I get no audio. If I drop that same clip onto the time line I get video and audio.
    Is there a setting I am missing?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi
    Yes both Channel 1 and 2.
    Also I just came across another funny thing. After opening the first clip in the source monitor I can not open any other clips unless I open them from the time line. Double click a clip in the time line so it opens in the source monitor and then THE SOUND WORKS!  Weird.

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames)

    How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames). I mean, is it possible to take the playhead from one frame to another frame directly which is 100 frames away in the time line? Thanks for any reply.

    In the Timeline, go to the first frame and press M to put a marker on it. Go to the other frame you want to jump to and put a marker on that one too.
    Now press Ctrl+Semicolon to go to the previous marker - or Ctrl+Comma to go to the next marker.

  • My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries.  Specifically contacts.  If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

    My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries.  Specifically contacts.  If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

    All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

    I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    Hey john@adobe,
    Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
    You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
    If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
    Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.

  • My sequence is no longer showing up in the time line!

    Hey,
    So I'm working on a DVD video for my nan's funeral and I opened the project and my edited sequence is no longer in the time line! I click on it but nothing shows up. It's as if I haven't done any editing in it yet. But I have and I have saved it. I wasn't too worried because I have time machine so I just went to restore an older version of my project. I did so but it also showed a blank sequence. I went back 2 more times to get even older versions with the same results. I know that my work can not be just gone! I mean I've been saving it and it's been backed up, is there something that I just have turned off by any chance? I'm pretty confused, the whole thing is just so random and unexpected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the identical issue. Open a project that was fine 12 hours earlier. Now I open the project and all my clips and subclips show up in the browser, but the timeline is empty. Click on sequence 1 - empty. I tried switching my scratch disk from the original external drive to another one that was a mirror copy of the first - changed the scratch disk location. Then had the issue with no sequence data in the timeline. Reverted to original external drive and scratch disk location. Same problem - no sequence data. I can open other previous projects and they're fine. I don't have multiple sequences in my projects - I just build in the timeline, if that has anything to do with the problem. This is very strange. Appreciate any help anyone has.

  • I cannot drag and drop to the time line!!! This worked before.

    Hello All,
    The last time I used iMovie was about a month ago. I have successfully imported and edited many projects in the past year. I just imported footage from a Mini DV camcorder as I always have in the past. When I click on video to drag to the time line, as soon as I move the mouse pointer, the video thumbnail becomes ghosted and I do not see the thumbnail or green + symbol when dragging. I even moved the mouse pointer to the timeline anyway and released the mouse click and nothing happened. I even tried dragging image files and MOV files from the Finder to the iMovie interface and that would not work either.
    What is preventing me from dragging?
    Ralph Ocampo

    Also, after the video thumbnail is ghosted, if I click on the ghosted thumbnail the thumbnail image does not appear in the preview window. Instead, the preview window turns black.
    Also, if I double click the ghosted thumbnail I do not get the Clip info dialog. It's as if the clip no longer exists, but I can see it's ghosted thumbnail.
    Also, I showed my wife the problem and she just told me she was using iMovie 2 days ago with no problem.

  • The time line of imovie disappeared. How can I see it again?

    I have OSX version 10.9.3. I am working with imovie 10 but i am not able to see the time line. This hasn't let me edit the movie clips. How can I see the time line again?

    You have to double-click on an existing project icon or create a new project and then the timeline appears.  Could this be the reason?

  • Trying to drag photo into iMovie project, It shows the correct picture in the time line but plays the adjacent picture in the viewer ?

    trying to drag second set of photos into project. It shows the correct picture in the time line but plays the adjacent,previously imported,picture in the viewer

    I notice that in the photo then has a tick in top left corner.
    Please describe in other words - or add a screen photo so that I get it.

  • CS4: How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?

    I am trying to copy named portion of my time line to the project panel & I can't past the segment.
    I copied a large AVI file to the time line, split it up into sections, & am trying to place the individual rename section into the Projects Panel. I can Copy the segment, but when I try to Paste it into the Projects Panel the Paste command is not "lighted up".
    How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?
     

    I found a way albeit a tedious method:
    positioned the render bar( I do not know the proper name) to encompass each segment separately.
    Exported that segment to Media.
    Media in turn transferred the segment to the Media Encoder program.
    The Media Encoder, after processing the segments, deposited the files in a temporary folder.
    Lastly, imported the content of the folder to the Project Panel,
    Thank you for all your suggestions.

  • How do I get the full size of my pics or video into the time line?

    Greetings,
    I've nener been part of a forum before and an wondering if this will actually be taken seriously. I'm new to video editing and know little about the program I am using (Adobe Premiere Pro CC). Would someone please advise me as to how I can add the full size video or pics to the time line. It appears whenever I add something from my Gopro 3 HD camera I only get a partial of the video / pic.

    IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
    It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
    All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

    I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!
