Keyframed lens flare across multiple clips in the timeline?

How can I apply a keyframed lens flare that continues across multiple clips in my timeline?
Using keyframes I am trying to have a lens flare travel across several clips in my timeline as one contiunes movement.
Back in the day (before elements) i could do this in Premiere using something called virtual clips (I think).
Thanking you in adavance for any help on this or "virtual clips"

Welcome to the forum.
Premiere Pro allows for Transparent Video (think the opposite of Black Video, in both PrPro and PrE), but PrE does not have that feature. You are probably thinking of Sub-Clips, also not available directly in PrE.
Steve's method will work, but here is another to consider:
Place the WAB (Work Area Bar) over those particular contiguous Clips, and then Publish+Share (for PrE 11, or Share for PrE 7 - 10), and export those contiguous Clips to an AV file. The choice of Publish+Share settings will depend on what you have for your Source Footage, and what your Project's Preset is. If you are working with, say AVCHD, then doing the Publish+Share to matching H.264 will probably be what you want.* In the Publish+Share dialog, make sure to check Work Area, to limit that to JUST the area defined by the WAB. Import that output file into your Project, and replace those edited Clips with it. Apply your Keyframed Lens Flare to that Clip. That is basically a manual Sub-Clip, but with a few more steps, than in PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adjusting audio of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously

Is there a way to adjust the audio volume of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously?

Or you can send the whole things over to Audition and work in multitrack there.
I like to get everything edited in Prmiere and then send the audio (I never bother with a refernce video) to Audition for finish work. There you can apply effects to individual clips, individual tracks or the entire mix. I always put a hard limiter on the Master track at -3dB to prevent clipping. Since this is the last filter in the chain I can boost other clips first and still know that my audio will never be too loud

How do I select multiple clips in the timeline!?

Ok, not quite as simple as the subject! This is what I want to do:
Just finished a multi camera edit and I now need to color correct and grade the footage. So, now that I've corrected the color on camera angle number 1 I want to apply that effect to all the clips in the timeline that come from that camera angle. How do I apply that effect to all those clips without having to do some manually. In FCP its possible to search for all timeline clips that come from a specific file. When those are highlighted it's possible to paste an effect onto all those clips.
So, how do I do that in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks!

Had to create proxies of my Canon 7d footage to achieve smooth playback but it's worked out fairly well so far!
I'm surprised that the DSLR Preset for the Canon footage still required proxy files. I thought that would handle the 5D/7D MOV files just fine. Maybe I was mis-informed.
The good news is that it's working for you, so things are good.
Good luck,

Any way to change the duration of multiple clips in the timeline at once?

Title says it all
Thanks

Can you manually drag back and forth with the handles on the timeline? Appreciate it.

How do I see every frame of a clip on the timeline in Premier ?

There are of course times when I need to see every frame of a clip to synchronize two clips. Imagine for example that you have a two camera shoot and both cameras were looking at a clapstick, or at a strobe. I want to put both clips on the timeline and zoom in to see every frame. Now I can align the two clips fo that one specific frame of each clip is over/under each other. However, when I have zoomed into the timeline it seems I can never zoom quite enough to see every frame What do I do to be able to zoome all the way in to the timeline so I can see every frame of the clips ? I haven't actually tried this yet with CC, but did with CS6 and it wouldn't do it.

I'm not knocking the idea of using the program monitor to place markers on sync points and using that to synchronize clips. It should be a very good solution.
What I am saying is that there are times when it would be advantageous to be able to see every frame of multiple clips on the timeline. When i first tried to do that I zoomed in and it looked as if it would display all the frames. I was dissappointed to find it wouldn't. As an editor who has done a lot of resynchronizing multiple camera shoots where there is no intentional visual sync cue, i can tell you it can be a big help to be able to see the frames as if we had a strip of film on each timeline. Sometimes we need to see several frames of each clip at the same time to make a decision about which frame represents the sync point, or to make the quickest possible decision about where to start and end a dissolve, or to chose which camera to use. In a scene shot with only one camera, there is no actual sync point. The action may have progressed slightly differently between shots. Being able to see 10 or 15 frames from each shot can help to make the quickest decision about how to line up the shots and where to do the transition. Would anyone out there say it would be a bad thing if Premier Pro could display every frame when we zoom all the way in ? It seems to me that it could only help. So i request Adobe consider it as a possible future improvement.
Here is an example, the last time i tried to see every frame in Premier. I had a scene I used Maya to create, series of Tiffs. This scene shows an object appearing as if arriving through a time or dimensional portal. The scene includes plasma popping and flashing. There are two different shots of the same moment in time. The shots are frame numbered. So if I could see the frame numbers from the original tiffs on the timeline I could align the shots that way. But of course I lose the frame numbers. The overall scene is too long, and rendering time too long, especially for 3-D 1080, to render each shot from the beginning of the scene, which would make synchronizing very easy. So i needed to sync to the flashing plasma in the scene. I though I had the shots lined up using a flash. It turned out they were not the same flash. So if i did a slow dissolve between shots, the flashes form each shot would not line up in time. What I needed to do is line up several flashes happening over a couple of seconds, so I coud verify the flashes were the same flashes. There are different numbers of frames between each flash, so if I got three to line up they would have to be the same flashes. I spent a lot of time trying to get these shots lined up. If I could zoom into the time line and see evry frame I could synchronize several clips by lining up the flashes, in just a couple of minutes. To do this with markers, marking say five flashes from each of four shots, it would take several minutes to do it before being ready to do the synchronizing. It's a workable solution, but is not ideal, a compromise.

Disable Effects across multiple Clips

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to disable/enable effects across multiple clips. I have done all the color correction/grading and have decided to cut another version. Unfortunately the effects I have added all need to be rendered. I want to turn off the effects do the edit, and turn them back on after I am complete. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeremy

Hi -
Here is a solution I use, but it has one weird step in it that I am not sure is just a quirk of my system . . .
Open the Sequence Settings.
Click on the Render Control Tab.
Uncheck the Render & Playback - Filters CheckBox
Click OK.
Now, on my system, in order to not display the CC filters I've applied I have to do these little extra steps:
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
Now the sequence plays without displaying the filters.
To restore the effect of the filters, you reverse the steps-
Open the Sequence Tab.
Click on the Render Tab.
Check the Render & Playback - Filters Checkbox, then click OK.
and again, don't know if this just my system but -
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
You'll see your Color Correction again, and it will need to be rendered.
Hope this helps.

Setting motion keyframes on head and end of a clip in the timeline

I've been exeriencing a weird problem lately.
If I throw a clip into the timeline, then double click it
back into the viewer, then use CONTROL K to place keyframes
across all motion perameters at the head of the clip, THEN hit the down arrow button to get to the end of the clip so I can make adjustments and have keyframes placed at the end of the clip, the process of hitting the down arrow to get to the end of the clip actually takes me to the head of the next clip in the timeline and up in the Viewer keyframe viewer.
If I use the left arrow to move one frame backwards to try and get to last frame of the clip I actually want to place a keyframe on the end of, it doesn't get
me back to the original clip...I've still got the second clip up in the Viewer motion keyframe area.
It's been requiring me to reload the clip from the timeline again, drag the viewer playhead to the end of the clip being careful to not accidentally go past the end of the clip, or it again goes into the next clip and it's impossible to navigate back to the first clip without double clicking it back up into the window.
So long question...after having placed keyframes at the very head of a clip double clicked back into the viewer from the timeline, how do I quickly get to the end of the clip to place my changed keyframe perameters, without overshooting the clip and running into the next?

To get to the Out point of the current clip, instead of the next clip/edit, you need to press Shift-O.
Also helpful: pressing Shift-I takes you to the In point.

Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

Can you avoid multiple clips of the same media in a project

We have 2 suites and we sometimes work together on a common project utilising the same media.
If I want to use a sequence from the other suite I can easily import it.
The problem: it creates another folder with clips that only belong to the imported sequence.
The end result after a few imported sequences is that my final timeline has instances in it that
are from clips belonging to several different folders or bins even though the media is the same.
In summary... is there a way you can avoid having multiple clips of the same media in a project.
Makes for a very messy project when you have finished.
You've got multiple clips with the same name scattered everywhere.
Cheers

Not yet.
I'm kind of hoping this type of media management will be vastly improved in CS6, whose main new 'feature' reeeeeally needs to be outstanding network collaboration with other editors working on the same project.

How do I select multiple clips in a timeline in the reverse direction, e.g. middle to front?

I know how to click "a" and select clips in the timeline looking forward, but how do we select multiple clips from a middle point to the front of the timeline? I don't want to be lassoing -- is there some other way?

Hi denniscallan,
Please check the track selection tool. Refer to the link below for more information about the tools section.

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

How can I select multiple clips in the event browser?

I can't seem to figure out how to do something that should be pretty simple. I want to select multiple clips in the event browser that aren't next to each other. Right now it's only letting me select the two clips with every other clip in between. Is there a keyboard function that will allow me to deselect the clips in between while leaving the two on the outside selected? In Apple's finder you can do this with files by holding down shift-command while clicking on the ones you want. Or is there away to rearrange clips in the event browswer?
I'd like to be able to create a multicam clip, but there is always going to be other media in between the clips I want to combine, so how can I select only the clips I want?
Thanks!

Holding the Command key should let you select non-contiguous items, just as in the Finder.

Applying window dub filter across multiple clips

I know how to apply the window dub filter to a single clip--but suppose I want to apply it across clips? Is it possible? In the past I've rendered one single Quicktime file of the entire project, re-imported it, and made the window dub from that. In this case I will have two hour-long captures, and I'd really prefer to avoid having to make a temporary two-hour-long Quicktime file just to make a window dub. Surely there is some way to "join" the separate clips on the timeline so that the window dub filter continues straight through to the end of the project...?
Thanks,
Steve S.

Gah...I completely misread the post. Bonehead.
Thanks for covering Kyle...great suggestion. I was just in NY...great city.

Search across multiple folders in the Mail application...

Is it possible to search across multiple folders using the Mail application in Windows 10? I can't seem to find that option.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Mapper99,
If you mean the following search:
You may click on the search icon on the top of the message list, then it will show out like the picture above, you could choose to search in the current folder, or you may choose All folders as listed.
It is almost the same settings in Windows 8.1, you may follow this guide for the other options:

Rotate Multiple Clips in the Event Browser (help)!

I make no apology for posting this a second time - there were no replies to my first post and if you've ever contemplated rotating something like 400 clips by opening them one by one in the Timeline and then adjusting the Rotate parameter in the Inspector, you'll know how I feel.
I want the correction to be on the clips in the Browser, because there's a lot of waste footage and it's so hard to trawl through it upside down. Rotating in the Storyline is dead easy but it doesn't affect the Browser clips - and that's what I need.
I'm sure I read you could do this - and I'm sure I tried it, and it worked - but I can't get it to work again.
I'm convinced the Browser Thumbnails turned the right way up - but I may be hallucinating.
I know it involved opening one clip in the timeline and either adding the 'Flipped' effect or changing the Rotation in the Inspector. I then (somehow) applied that change to the rest of the clips in the Event Browser.
Already tried copying and then Cmd+Alt+V, on all the selected clips in the Browser, but no joy. I also tried adding the rest of the Browser Clips to the same Timeline (which then magically becomes a Storyline) and Copying and Pasting there - but that doesn't affect the Browser Clips.
(Maybe it's my age).
Andy

OK - so here's how I did it in the end . . .
Copy a rotated clip in the timeline.
Right-click a clip in the Browser.
Choose 'Open in Timeline'
Press Cmd+2 to select the timeline.
Press ' i ' to select the clip in the timeline.
Press Alt+Cmd+v to Paste the Effects.
I got a stiff neck doing it - SURELY there's a proper way to do it?
