In and out markers

Is it just me or is the online help manual not always that helpful? When splittling clips in says to insert in and out markers but it does not really tell you how.
I found them in the clip drop down menu but they are grayed out. I want to be able to add back a few frames if needed when editing a video. I used to use pinacle studio and you could just drag the end of any clip to restore frames.

There are several ways to add In & Out Points (not ever heard them called "markers") in a Clip.
One way is to Dbl-click on the Clip in the Project Panel. This will Open the Clip in the Source Monitor. There, you can use the In & Out Poiints (maybe these are the "markers" referred to), in the Source Monitor. When done, drag the Clip from the Source Monitor to the Timeline. This creates an Instance of that Clip. You can have unlimited Instances, and they can all have different In & Out Ponts.
Another way to do this is to drag the Clip from the Project Panel to the Timeline. At the Head of the Clip, click-drag to set the In Point. Now, click-drag on the Tail, to set the Out Point.
A variation of the above is to drag the Clip to the Timeline, then use the Scissors/Razor Tool (or Ctrl-K, with the CTI where you want to Cut) to Cut the Clip. Separate it, as is required. Then Rt-click on all sections to be removed, and choose Delete and Close Gaps.
Remember, your original AV file is NOT harmed, or changed in any way. You are only writing instructions to the Project file, PREL, telling it what to do, when you go to output the Timeline. Don't worry about "cutting" Frames out, as they are not really gone. You can click-drag on a Head, or Tail, to get them back again.
Now, when setting In & Out Points, if you are using Transitions, see this ARTICLE, as you WILL want to leave adequate Handles.
Good luck, and happy editing,

Can't get in and out markers to work

In Pro 7, I can't find the In and Out markers on some clips I've downloaded off Limewire. When I go File:New audio and record blank noise for a few seconds, the markers appear. How can I get the markers and trim down my Limewire clips? Thanks

I've seen a few times in the past what you are talking about. But, the in and out sections would fade in and out.
Try doing a save as to the movie and see if this makes the player a little more stable,,,,,,,,,,,,

In and out markers missing in QT Pro?

I've just bought QT Pro 7 and want to edit a movie into separate clips. I can see a timeline indicator but no in and out markers for selecting certain sections of the movie. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Carol

Quicktime Pro can't edit MPEG-1 or 2 videos. You need something like MPEG-Streamclip a free program to be able to edit these type of videos.

In and Out Markers CS6?

Am I correct in my observation that In and Out markers do not show in the Source Monitor as they did previously in CS5.5 ie as a selection.?
This may take a bit of getting used to if so.

Transport Controls were showing and I also tried with the Time Scale showing as well.
What ever... it works now and I am happy.
Just got a bit of a fright initially

Setting in and out markers for capturing.

i am learning final cut pro, and have also purchased a new camera. I was under the impression that a tape based camera goes through wear on the heads the more you use it... having said that i just finished chapter eight of capturing video in final cut pro, and am under the impression that i have to watch the video, set my in and out point/ set markers to select the footage to be used, and then it has to play the footage again to capture it?..... so your camera is always going to have to go through the wear of recording original footage,rewind footage...play footage to mark in and out points, and the a third time to capture is this correct? also are a lot of people using these expensive formatting devices that you plug into your camera so when you record your original footage it records on the tape and on this device so you can access the device and not put so much wear on the camcorders tape heads?

sounds like you are very efficient in your work.
You have to be if you want to get anything done in a timely manner, and if you want to be able to find footage quickly.
I thought that i should do that after the fact, but then i thought that in cases of collecting a lot of rough footage that there may be a several areas of footage you dont want to use that you are asking the camera to play when it doesnt need to.
Exactly why logging your footage is so important. Not only do you see what you have, but you can make sure you don't capture stuff you don't want or don't need, and that saves tons of space. Plus the mere fact you are logging, capturing and organizing your footage means that you are getting more familiar with what you have. This is of MAJOR importance to an editor.
I am going to be doing this for a living
Then learning good editing habits early on is a must.

In and Out Markers Have Disappeared from Interface

I just bought QT Pro and registered. The in and out selection markers were present and I could use them. After several minutes, they disappeared from the interface. Since then I've restarted QT several times, even restarted the computer. I've deleted the registration info from QT, quit it, restarted it, and reinserted the info. I've tried other movies--still no markers. I've checked and unchecked the box in Preferences pertaining to the selection markers--makes no difference. All the other features of Pro seem to be available--cutting, pasting, saving, etc., but the selection markers simply are not there. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The in and out selection markers were present and I could use them. After several minutes, they disappeared from the interface.
Selection markers are active only when edit-compatible files are loaded. With an edit-compatible file loaded, hovering the cursor over the progress bar should cause the markers to appear. They will the disappear if/when you move the cursor away from the progress bar unless you actually make a selection. Pressing the Command-B key combination will collapse an active marked selection at the current playhead location and allow the markers to disappear again. Are you saying that the markers will not appear when you hover the cursor over the progress bar?

In and Out markers gone in viewer

I am running leopard and have FCP studio. For some reason when I put in and out points on a clip in the viewer I can't see them anymore. They show up in the scrubber bar below the video but for some reason they are gone in the viewer video. I want them back. Please help!

Jerry,
Verify that you have "Show Overlays" enabled. Look in the View Pop-up menu, which is located in the upper center portion of the viewer, there's a button there that looks like a broken square.
The default keyboard shortcut for toggling overlays is ControlOptionW.

In and Out selection

Hi
I´m trying to cut something in a movie with Quicktime 7.4 pro!
I have read in the support i have to mark the "In and Out selection"
_+*QuickTime Category Icon*+_
_+*Cutting, Copying, or Deleting a Section of a Movie*+_
+*Selecting and moving, copying, or deleting (trimming) part of a movie is easy in QuickTime Pro.*+
+*To cut, copy, or delete part of a movie:*+
+*1. Move the playhead until the desired frame appears, or select the part of the movie you want to modify (use the In and Out selection markers and the arrow keys).*+
+*2. Choose Edit > Copy, Cut, or Delete.*+
+*If you choose Copy or Cut, you can paste the selection elsewhere.*+
+*3. Position the playhead where you want to paste the selection and choose Edit > Paste.*+

+*Note: After you delete parts of a movie, the file size stays the same until you choose File > Save As and select "Save as a self-contained movie."*+
But i can´t find out to set this "In and Out selection" someone help me? I feel so stupid

This is one of the few things that actually got a lot better in QT Pro 7...
In the controller at the bottom of the QuickTime movie window, above the controls and below the picture, there is a kind of a timeline. On top of that there is a downward-pointing triangle. That is your "playhead indicator" and it represents your current location in the movie. Under the timeline are two smaller triangles. In QT-6.5, they are upward-pointing triangles; in QT-7 it looks like two half-triangles with feet, pointing upward. Those are your in and out markers. By sliding those along the timeline you can select a section of the movie for editing. The OUT marker is ALWAYS to the right of the IN marker.
In QT-7 you can also set the in and out locations by moving the playhead to the frame you want to mark and hitting "I" or "O" on the keyboard. If you attempt to set an out point to the left of the in point, or an in point to the right of the out point, QuickTime will automatically reset the other edit point to the same frame.

Razor at In and Out marks together

Hi,
Is there a shortcut/cmd to razor both in and out markers together (in one operation)?
I have a few frames of a clip that I'd like to pull the volume levels down on. I've added the In and Out markers as I would do to extract, but I want to leave the subsequent clip intact. Is there a faster (better) way to achieve this than just using the razor tool to manually click on both In and Out marks?
Thanks
John

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for that. I guess in that case I can just use Lift and then paste the clip back in.
For anyone else reading you need to hit Shift+I to move the Playhead back to the in point (if it's not already) before using the Lift command, so that the clip is pasted back in the right place...I've just discovered.
Thanks again Kevin.

Revealing "In" and "Out" selection indicators in Quicktime 7 after Snow Leopard Upgrade

When I upgraded to snow leopard, I used quicktime 10 for a while. But recently I wanted to edit a long movie, and trimming sections out of the middle was unworkable.
I found the Quicktime 7 program in my Utilities folder (I guess it was put there during the upgrade process). I reinstalled my Quicktime Pro registration.
But when I opened the movie, I couldn't find the "In" and "Out" markers to select the sections I wanted to cut. Trolling the web for answers didn't help. Typing "I" and "O" didn't help.
Finally I looked through the Preferences Pane for the third time. The item "Hide selection indicators for empty selection" was NOT selected. Yet the selection indicators remained hidden.
So I selected that choice, to hide them. Closed the program. Opened it again (they remained hidden). Then I UN-selected it and voila! The selection indicators appeared, and have remained present ever since.
Hunhhh.

Is there a way to detect motion and set markers automatically?

My video includes walking around with the camera. I walk, then stop and hold the camera in one area, then pan, then continue walking (and repeat).
While panning, there is some annoying flicker of vertical objects (beams, poles, whatever). I can use a horizontal fast blur to fix this, but I only want the blur applied when there is panning (not when the camera is relatively still). Doing it manually is cumbersome.
Is there a way to detect when motion is going on (over a certain threshold)? I would like PP to tell me when there is significant motion, and place markers in the points where it begins and ends (when motion goes over a threshold and then when it falls below the threshold).
Thanks, experts!

One thing you can try is to bring your footage into Prelude - it will lay out the entire clip so you can see thumbnail snapshots for the whole clip at once - that might give you a good start to see where there is a lot of motion. Then, you can add markers very easily at all of those points - and when you send it over to Premiere, the markers will show up on your clip.
Not automated, but a good workflow to achieve what you are looking for.

How can I use a ranged comment marker to quickly define in and out range?

Hi,
I'm using several parts of a single clip, and they have overlapping in and out points. As I'll need to go back and grab them multiple times, I've defined these ranges by using a comment marker, then giving them a range by setting the in and out point in the marker panel.
What I want to do is using this defined comment marker range, right click/double click/clap twice or something that will allow a shortcut to set this marker range as an in and out range so that I can put it into my sequence's timeline.
I'm happy if I can skip the in and out all together and drag the marker to the timeline - but I tried this from the Marker panel, and it didn't work.
If this functionality doesn't exist, I'm going to have to just set a marker for every in and out point, and that's just busywork and confusing as it's not clear what's the in and the out when your'e in the middle of all the markers.
Thanks for any and all help

Premiere does not have a feature that automatically converts a marker's In/Out to function as clip In/Out points. I recommend saving a subclip for each segment of interest. The subclip becomes a new instance of the clip in the project panel, which you can give a descriptive name.
If you give this a try--and if you're using Premiere Pro CC--take a little time to learn about the "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries" option, which controls whether a subclip is "hard" or "soft." http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-soft-subclips-with-flexible-edit-po ints/

Setting In and Out points

Is it me or is it a complete PAIN to set in and out points in 7? Used to be easy. It's almost impossible sometimes to grab the playback head without it selecting an i/o point. Once I finally do get the markers where I want 'em, the In point moves when I press play?
What the ****?

You can use the arrow keys (right left) to step through frames. You can use the letters i and o to set in and out points.
Hold down the shift key (after setting a point) and you can use the arrow keys to create a selection.

Setting Build-In/Out markers for multiple animated tracks

I have built a title that has the the Build-Optional markers so that the user can trim the title without altering the animation timing. However, the title has an additional animation running through the sequence. This means that the Build-In and Out affect correctly the in and out animation (a slide in and out) but they dont stop the retiming of the animation that is running throughout the entire sequence!!! Is there a another method? It doesnt look like you can apply Build-In/Out markers to individual tracks?!
