Joins my video clips?

I am working with video clips outside of my timeline (audio is on the timeline). Ever so often, when I add a transition, it will create a full clip and box it like this. A)How do I disable this OR B) How do I break apart these boxes once formed.
Thanks!

TThe box is called s secondary storyline. It acts very much like the primary storyline. If you have transitions they have to be in a storyline. If you break it apart you'll get a warning that you'll lose the transitions.

A first step: Editing video clips before using them in a longer video?

I am an absolute beginner. I have purchased Premiere Elements 7 and I bought the Premiere Bible and am reading that.
My question is, Premiere seems to be software designed primarily to help you make a video production by joining together video clips, sound clips, and photos. Is there a step before this, though, namely editing the clips as they come out of your camera?
I've been using PhotoShop for years, and typically when I take a still photo I open it in PhotoShop and adjust saturation, brightness, sharpness, maybe white balance, rotate if needed, etc.
Is there another piece of software designed to help do this kind of basic editing to a single video clip? For example, if the clip came out too dark, is there a way to brighten things up?
I'd really appreciate any answers, and if there is a book or article you could suggest about editing video clips I would appreciate the recommendation!

Stephen,
First, welcome to the forum.
Next, and this does depend on your camera, you Capture your video from the camera, using a Preset for your Project, that matches the material from your camera.
Now comes the "RAW conversion," though I am using that term VERY loosely. Many people will do basically a pre-edit, by Dbl-clicking the Captured Video in the Project Panel. This opens it in the Source Monitor, where one sets the In and Out Points, basically doing a loose edit of the scenes. The Clip in the Source Monitor can then be dragged to the Timeline. Each is done this way, until they all appear, in the order that you want, on the Timeline. Note: you can drag from the Project Panel, and do this in the Timeline too. Also note: when you play the Timeline, you are now looking at the Program Monitor.
At this stage, one touches up the edits, and adds any desired Effects.
Usually last is any Audio work, like adjusting the Clip's Audio, or adding Narration, and/or Soundtrack.
Export/Share is the final step and one can choose their delivery format.
The exact workflow is a bit different than processing an image in PS, but not totally alien.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I join up my small video clips?in simple terms please!

How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions. In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
Thanks,
digi

Aha that kind of blending.
Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
Set the two clip on top of each other
Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
Screendump for matte:
The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

IMovie How do you join video clips that have been split

In Imovie project, How do I join video clips that been split

Hi
And if the clips are not contiguous - Then You have to do as in all versions of iMovie from the very beginning.
• Put the clips into one new project
• Export this as full quality QuickTime movie
• Import this new merged QT-clip into Your main project
This is a way around that are very basic and used whenever more elaborated scenes are prepared - e.g. multiple text clips or when in need of adding several functions into it.
Tedious - but it always been like this - in contrast to FinalCut.

Need help with non-video clip transitions on the FCP timeline...

Hi all, I am struggling with this problem with the FCP timeline: I have a mix of things; .motn includes, .psd includes, etc. and I want to put a transition between them and a normal video clip, BUT, as u can guess, it does not work well. I guess because FCP can't see the frames inside the Motion file, it won't let u do a cross fade or whatever with any amount of time applied to it. So what to do?
I started to modify the motion files but realized this would not work, as I often use bits of one motion animation in various places starting and ending at different timecodes. So i need to be able to place a transition at the beg/end of motion clip on the fcp timeline. I started doing this:
1) place a slug above the track of a joining of motion/video clip
2) place the transitions on both ends of the slug.
Is this the way to go? I have dozens of these that I need to fix asap, so all advice is appreciated!
coocoo

Hi Cooco,
there are several ways to find out whether it is a [*matter of handles*|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html]
One is to select the clip>hit the S key (slip tool) clickandhold it . A brown line drawing a rectangle will appear and will continue beyond in and out point revealing the available clip's handles. If not handles are available then the brown line will stay within the clip on the timeline.
Visit the link I sent to you to more understand handle matters.

Missing sound between video clips

I have been using PE10 for some while now. One thing that I have noticed is that when you put together clips there is a silent gap on the soundtrack which lasts about 3-4 frames. I use MTS files. When you add another clip to an existing one- if you go through the transition from one clip to the next frame by frame there is a short gap of 3/4 frames with no sound but still the picture. Currently I cut the next clip after I gone though it frame by frame until the first frame when the sound reappears. I them delete that small section and when the remaining clip automatically shifts and joins the previous clip I get an unbroken sound and picture transition. But I am curious as to why PE should introduce this silent gap in the first place. Any ideas?
cheers
bill

Thanks for the link. Is the solution to try using that tsMuxeR program or is there a better way of importing the clips into PE? Once I download the files/folders off the SD card from the camera I format the card ready for new recordings. So the only copies are on the main HD and backup external HD.
When I use PE I use its "Get video from files and folders" option to find the files which are located in the Stream folder.

How to edit and splice video clips

I have 3 video clips that I wish to edit and join together.

Use Premiere Elements, not Photoshop Elements:

Can I invert a short video clip so that it is upright?

I need to turn a short video clip upright to be part of a slide show. how can i edit this clip? Please respond. Thank you!!
<Email Edited By Host>

You would need to to that with QT Player 7 with QT Pro installed. iMovie can rotate the movie also.
I've used QT Pro for a long time now and have found it to be invaluable in trimming and joining videos as well as rotating.
You can search MacUpdate.com for "video editor" or "movie editor" to see what other editing options are available.

Is there a way to seamlessly "join" or "splice" clips?

When importing a long video, even with the "create clip" option turned off, iMovie will truncate any first clip around 1:00:03:17 and then start a second clip. I am working with a school play, and this arbitrary cutoff means a scene (including a song) is cut in two. I would like to seamlessly join those two clips as I am trying to create clip breaks which correspond to scenes and insert appropriate chapter breaks for DVD. The iMovie help lookup doesn't seem to have anything covering this topic - I went to the Studio at my local Apple Store and they couldn't help me...

Hi Genny,
maybe I miss your point (?) but....
make a test on your own:
set playhead in middle of some clip
hit apple-t... that splits the clip in two
set playhead a few seconds before the split-point
hit play...
do you recognize a "cut"?
no.
creating two clips doesn't mean automatically a "blip" in playback...
in iM<5, we had an import limit of 9minutes, so a monolith 60minute tape import created... hm... 7 clips... running/playback smoothly as "one" video.....
in case you're a beginner, before handling such large projects, have a read here:

hope, that helps....

How to save a linked video clip?

Hello All,
I have two video clips that I permantely want to join together to use in the future. One clip is a white slug and the other is a black and white photo that I lowered the opacity on. I have tried to link them and save them but for me they always end up being 2 separate clips. How can I link them together as one and save them on my hard drive to be used together later?
thanks for your help.
Mike

This will do it:
Put an in point on the time line at the start of the linked clips, and an outpoint at the end. Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie . . .
Make sure "Make Movie Self Contained" is checked and navigate to the loation you want to store the clip and click Save.
Once the file has exported to the location you have chosen, then import that file back into FCE and give it a name.
Now the joined clips will be avaiable as a single clip.

How can I create a video clip that has multiple copies of the same subject playing at the same time? Basically like one person became 50 backup dancers!

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a single video clip where my original subject (dancer) is multiplied on the screen many times. Basically I am trying to create a background video for a dance team and want to make it look like an army of the same person dancing behind them. Amy guidance would be great!
Thanks

Motion ($50) can do this with a replicator.

HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

think i might have solved my own problem the feature is not there i have to upgrade again to 10.0.7...this is getting annoying...

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.
