Inserting multiple clips stacked on different tracks

Hi All,
I know this has to have come up before, and my memory has the tingle that I thought I'd done this in the past, but I really can't seem to remember or find it now.
Basicly, Inserting multiple clips from project window into the timeline and stacking on different tracks (vertically) instead of Head to tail.

Ok so gonna end up answering my own question , after some playing around I found this way of doing it.
Select all files you want to insert
right click and select create multicam
sync via start unless you want to try and audio sync them (I use plural eyes 3)
create sequence from multicam
Ctrl double click the multicam
This gives you a sequence with all files on seperate tracks, if I don't really want/need a multicam for that particular project I cut and past into a new sequence then use plural to sync vid audio, otherwise i just sync in the multicam and im ready to go.
Although this works, there really should be an easier way, a shift + Ctrl while dropping on the timeline ... feature request !
ps. I read someone state that this was not a regularly needed funciton in premier .. I really dont know what work they are doing but i need this every single day !

  • Insert multiple files onto a single track, not one file per track

    Hello,
    In both Audition CS5.5 and CS6, when the user inserts multiple files into a multitrack session, they are placed on multiple tracks. (As the help file says, "The files are inserted on separate tracks at the current time position"). Please change this to allow multiple files to be inserted onto a single track.
    I can understand the usefulness of the current behaviour in some scenarios, but there are other workflows in which the placement of multiple files on multiple tracks is a serious hindrance.
    E.g. In this thread, a user mentions needing to insert 10,000 individual files for dialogue editing and mixing.
    I also posted in that thread because my own workflow involves editing hundreds of individual files, which are single notes recorded for the production of virtual instruments.
    The reason why a "one-track multitrack" workflow is useful to me is that it allows great flexibility in processing multiple files individually or at once, comparing them, adding markers, fades, etc.
    It would also be useful when bringing in any audio that has been recorded in consecutive chunks - field recordings, concerts, Foley sessions, etc.
    In the thread, another user suggested inserting all the files onto a single track in Premiere Pro, then bringing that project into Audition as a multitrack session. Unfortunately this creates another problem for me, because it renames all the audio with the suffix "extracted". My workflow requires me to keep the original file names, because these are used downstream when mapping the recorded notes in the virtual instrument.
    Thanks for reading and please consider this for a future update.

    Just curious. Has there been an answer yet as to how to insert existing audio clips from a file to a waveform view in CS6. I create voiceovers or edit large interview files that require audio tones and sfx for my clients in production studios. The tones are inserted between takes as a courtesy tone to denote separation.  In the older versions of Audition, the function was as simple as mix/pasting an audio file, selecting insert or overlap, set the import level percentage and paste.  And each time this function was exercised, Audition would use the same settings you last used to reduce repetition of settings. Logical. That's all gone in CS6 ... so, to lay down a voiceover file for Comcast or any client, in waveform view (vs. Multitrack which is not necessary for single mono file editing) I have to go through unnecessary steps simple to select insert/mix paste>file>paste into existing wave form.
    Also, if I need to simply overlap a gasp over the last syllable of a phrase in a simple wave form, I don't appear to be able to do this.  I called Adobe for support on these function, but, they had not answers and simple said I couldn't change the workspace, and they had no other answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you have insight.

  • How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

    A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
    But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
    How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
    In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

    Hi, Alex.
    It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
    An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
    All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                                  NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
    (WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
    1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
    then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
         a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
         b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
    2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
         a. load your noise print file
         b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by  sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
         c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
             are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
         d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
             noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
         e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
             way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
             open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
             adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
         f. once you're happy with your settings,  click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
                   do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
    3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
         a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
         b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
         c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
         d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
         e. click Apply
         f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
    4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
         a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
         b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
         c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
         d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
         e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
         f. set the format / type / bitrate  (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
         g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
    [HERE IS THE CHEAT]
    Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
    1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
    2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
    3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
    4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
    5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
    6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
    7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
    In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
    I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track.  This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
    In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx.  I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
    Have fun!

  • How do I insert multiple simple objects at different times into a video, and see all of them?!

  • If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip w

    If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip without change all the instances where the clip was used in the same multi-track session?
    I'm having to copy the clip rename it as clipreverses.wav then bring it back into audition to use it.
    Sony Vagas you can flip the same clip on a different track with a right click and not affect any other copies of that clip.

    Not that I'm aware of, no. You can easily make a unique copy of a clip (right-click on it, and you get it already saved for you), and I'd say that having this was more flexible in one way, at least, as you could then time-stretch it if you wanted to, without altering all other instances of it. Not saying that there wouldn't be any point in having a reverse-play option - I can see instances where it might be useful. It's just that it's not exactly difficult to achieve this anyway, which is probably why I don't ever recall a request for it!

  • Updating/Inserting multiple tables

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure out how to update/insert multiple fields in 2 different tables with one RowSet. im new to java and have been using Creator for about 2 weeks
    basically there are 3 tables: one containing user info(USER), one containing department info (DEPT), and one table relating the two (USER_DEPT). my form lets uers update, among others, their NAME in table USER, and DEPT_NAME in table DEPT.
    These are all VARCHAR types.
    I used the Clips provided by Creator to initialize and do the updating. i am using updateRow() to do the updating. the fields are bound to specific database fields. the RowSet is updatable.
    in my app i chose some specific fields, but for the sake of avoiding pasting very long SQL queries lets just say i chose everything. some of the queries i tried:
    SELECT *
    FROM USER WHERE USER.USERNAME = ?This one works.
    SELECT *
    FROM USER, DEPT, USER_DEPT
    where USER.ID = USER_DEPT.USER_ID
    and DEPT.ID = USER_DEPT.DEPT_ID AND USER.USERNAME = ?this one gives me a Conversion Error message. i have no conversion going on whatsoever. i havent even learned how to use conversion yet.
    another query i tried:
    SELECT * FROM USER
    INNER JOIN USER_DEPT ON USER.ID = USER_DEPT.USER_ID
    INNER JOIN DEPT ON DEPT.ID = USER_DEPT.DEPT_ID
    WHERE USER.USERNAME=?this one gives me no error. the app works except the database doesnt get updated. i have determined that when using this query updateRow() is skipped. i dont know why. the app keeps running in that it goes to the next page as defined by the XML, but updateRow() is never called.
    so can anyone please tell me how to update/insert multiple fields in multiple tables using one RowSet PLEASE?
    THANKS!

    The only way this can be done with a single rowset is if you do your query against a view (instead of a join), and if your JDBC driver supports updates to multiple tables through a view. Otherwise, you're going to need to update the underlying tables individually.

  • Moving multiple clips simultaneously..?

    How do you move multiple clips at the same time? I don't mean on the timeline, but in the viewer? ie, firstly selecting multiple clips stacked vertically in the timeline then moving their position or scale in the viewer? How can you do this to all the clips you've selected simultaneously?

    Let Adobe know.

  • Can we trim multiple clips in Premiere Pro CC?

    Hi all, we're looking for a way to perform a ripple edit of multiple clips in the same track of the same timeline. In other words I want to trim the last 15 frames from each of 100 clips in a project (for multiple projects per day). Any ideas on how this can be done (aside from doing them one at a time)?
    I saw the discussion from 2011 indicating that this could not be done in CS5.5 but perhaps there is some way in CC?
    Thanks!

    Some suggest a High Pass filter on 20Hz... any confirmations?

  • Clips are being added in different tracks (as in layers)

    I am have two videos clips which I am dragging to the screenline.
    I drag the first clip it goes into track 1.
    When I drag the second clip it automatically goes to track 2.
    If I delete it from track 2 to try to get it into track 1, it goes to track 3.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Steve, this is what I found out.
    As you said the problem is audio and I believe it happens when recording in SD using audio 5.1 and mpeg format.
    I was suggested to set my video to stereo but my camcorder doesn't offer stereo option.
    I finally redefined what was happening as follows:
    TIMELINE - when I drag a video clip here it goes to track 2. I can continue adding more clips and they are inserted one after the other in track 2.
    SCENELINE - however after I add the clips in Timeline and look in Sceneline I only see the first clip. Furthermore I can drag a clip to sceneline ok but any attemp to drag any more doesn't seem to do anything... BUT if I go to Timeline I see them all, each in a different track. E.G. one in track 4 the next in 5 and so on.
    I was offered the following solutions:
    1.  after acquiring the video clips, use the File>Export>Movie to export all the clips.  PE7 automatically exports them in .avi format or
    2.  use the Prism convertion program to convert the clips to .avi
    both worked.
    I thought I pass this on so as not to leave this issue hanging unresolved.
    Thanks again for the help you have always given me.

  • Transitions on clips on different tracks?

    Hello
    Is there a way of putting transitions between clips on different tracks or do I have to continue doing what I do currently a cut the tracks together on one track and then add transitions.
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    In case your question isn't about technique, but rather of functionality - i.e.. can you get FCP to do such-and-such - then yes, you can place transitions across multiple tracks (and edit points) via the keyboard shortcut for the default transition (Command-T) or the Menubar (Effects > Video Transitions > ... ). Dragging from the Effects tab, unfortunately, won't work for multiple edit points.
    Of course, you'll have to select those edit points, either via Command-clicking or using the Edit Selection Tool, and not the clips.
    Even then, this is not a perfect solution in terms of how transitions will be sequenced (you might find yourself having to adjust transition alignment and/or clip lengths) but I just wanted to cover all the bases.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

    I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
    1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
    2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
    3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
    THE ISSUE:
    1) Here is my timeline:
    2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
    Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
    3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
    ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
    1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
    2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
    Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
    Kind regards,
    Aurelien

    This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC
