Linking two video clips together

I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
Is there a way of doing that?
The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".

You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.

How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

Hi guys,
I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

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.

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.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

How can I make two video clips within one frame?

OK, I have two video clips. I just need to shrink one video and put it in to the corner of my other video. How can I do this?
Thank you for your help!

Hi
Picture in picture - is no a standard option in any version of iMovie.
iMovie ? - 6 You'll need a third party *plug in* to do this: (iM'08 no go at all)
• Stupendous software http://www.stupendous-software.com
• GeeThree http://www.geethree.com
• cf/x. http://www.imovieplugins.com
• Apple http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/ezediapluginsforimovievol1.html
• http://www.imovieplugins.com/fxhome.html
*You also can do this with QuickTime-pro.* But You need the disipline of an angle.
Quoting:
Klaus1 writes: As Bengt says, you can do this with Quicktime Pro. Here is how:
Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
PAL (for Europe):
Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
NTSC (for the USA):
Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
Have fun!
END OF QUOTE !
*My way:* When I started to need more than iMovie could offer I took a look into
FinalCut Express and counting the sum of all Plug-ins needed and FCE I found out
that FCE is a real bargin.
• color-correction
• blue/green screen
• 99 video and audio tracks
• slightly rotation a clip eg 1 deg - nice horizon
• slightly or major scale up or down
• and of cause Picture in pictures
And so much more.

OBIEE: Link Two Separate Queries Together

Hi,
I am trying to link two separate queries together in BIEE.
I have a query that will give me the sales value in January 2012 (monthly query)
But I would need to use the sales value of January 2012 to help derive the weekly sales value in another query (weekly query).
How would you link up two queries together?
I tried using union but it doesnt seem to be working.
Thanks.
Bill

Hi Billy,
Sure, My pleasure. Here are the basic steps what you could go through.
1. Create an analysis with your Month (January) and Sales.
2. Save this analysis as Report1.
3. Create another analysis with Week and Sales.
4. Create a filter on column:Sales using the option 'Based on Another Analysis'. The analysis editor will provide you an option to browse your other analysis which you want this analysis to be based on and just click on this browse button, and navigate to and select Report1.
5. Once you have selected Report 1 through browse option, you get down in the same pop-up the relationship and use values in column.
So sample entries in this pop-up might look like
Column : Sales
Operator : is based on results of another analysis
Saved Analysis : /My Folder/Report1
Relationship : is equal than
Use values in Column : Sales
6. If you run this analysis, you could get all weekly sales figures which are equal to the january sales figures.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips?

Dear Premiere Pro programmers,
Could you please create a way to use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips without exporting to media, or creating new sequence, or using another layer (adjustment or transparent)?

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes
but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo.
what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

How to link two video stills clips tracks 1 and 2 ?

Hi,
I have two matching stills, one is marked up with guidelines as to where I wish the pan window to go, this is on video track 2, on track 1 is the pure image less these guidance notes. I have turned off default scale to frame size and this imported montage 'still' is larger than my project size. I now hope to position the still with the guidance lines and area showing start of pan for frame 1 and have the underlying matching image on track1 take up the same position also.
I thus need to link both images so that moving the one moves the other. How do I do this ?
Currenly I can move the track2 image but track 1 image doesnt follow with it.
Once I have indicated using keyframes the path I want to follow, I shall turn off track 1 and have Premiere create a movie just with the good image showing.
How do I link the two image tracks together ?
I am otherwise following a tutorial at http://www.savevid.com/video/create-an-advanced-photo-montage-in-premiere-pro.html which does the montage pan though I have just one photo, on tracks 1 and 2.
Envirographics.

Hi,
I have followed this advice, the pan route is now perfect along with some tweaking of the bezier handles to make it go straight along the top from west to east..
However on the monitor it plays with comb like artefacts along edges , on the produced avi file from Export>Movie, one sees double, a balloon has two strings for example. Humans have a ghosted edge all around them. As the image stops moving at end of the pan I see the two ballon strings get closer and become one just as the pan ends. Its blurred, I also see tide marks in some places, back of a guys shirt, as if its in 256colour mode !Written using an authoring prog to dvd the TV playback is no better. Just nothing like the stills in the same video from which a montage was made to use for this Ken Burns effect. Why is the pan a mess ? It was a bit jerky on the PC, I hoped TV viewing would see an improvement.
I have done a right-click on the image, Field Options and checked Flicker Removal as seen in a thread, made no difference.
I'd also Crop the vertical in PS to just what was needed for the Project's/Sequence's vertical Frame dimension.”…done that
Project is:- , custom size 1152 x 768 PAL square pixel into which I brought a montage 3754 x 1221 also square pixel. This yields crisp detail even when zoomed in on in photoshop. So why the jerky double image effect ?
I have read that Premiere is not as good as this as dedicated programs, another suggestion was do it in After Effects but I dont have that, and these other progs are $200 and I had expected more quality than this. Article at http://vimeo.com/3181326 didjnt get these problems.
What have I not done or overlooked ?

Is there a way to "link" 2 video clips?

Hi,
I have a single 3 minute split screen video scene (in the timeline) that is made of 2 video clips. Can I link this pair of video clips?
It would make resizing easier if I only had to scale a single wire frame, instead of having to try to resize both clips to match each other for nesting?
Thanks,

Hi Michel,
My S1 has several clips it it. I am dividing my finished video into 4 equal sections on the screen, for the entire video, and there are lots of tracks in the timeline now.
If I move S1 into S2 with just the 2 tracks I want active, it transfers perfectly as a single track.
Here is the problem. When I return to S1 and make active other tracks, the other tracks also become active in S2, overwriting the 2 tracks I want linked. Or, if I deactivate the tracks in S1, the timeline is S2 still shows the track in the timeline but blacks the screen out.
I want to be able to make 2 video clips into a single track for easier editing in S1, is that possible?
Thanks for your help,

In iMovie on the iPad: Recombining two video clips

I am using iMovie on the iPad (iOS 8.1.1.). I have a project where I split a video clip into two parts. I wanted to put a title that runs across both clips but it fades in and out so it doesn't stay on the screen for the entire two clips. I can't undo because I've made too many other changes since I split the original clip. Is there a way to recombine these two clips so that I can run a single title across the entire clip?

Hi wall ice-izm,
I have come up with a workaround, but would like something better. I originally sent the video to iTunes from within
The iMovie program.
I then transferred it to my pc and it was in dv format. I did not see any options for saving it in another format. If it is possible to save it in something the pc can read and ultimately that fCebook can read, I would appreciate knowing how. Yes, I do have QuickTime.
What I ended up doing was buying an app called "photo transfer app". First I saved the video to the camera roll. Then I used the app to wirelessly transfer the iMovie video to my pc and then I was able to upload it to Facebook. It was all very slow and inefficient. When I save a video to the camera roll it saves it in the .MOV format.
I was also able to transfer the video from iPad to pc by saving to the camera roll and then importing the video into Adobe Bridge CS5
Isn't there a more direct way of saving a video to the pc from within imovie in a format it recognizes?

Help - Can I bring video clips together just like a downloaded TV Show is?

I have a series of short videos which are currently in iTunes. Each clip is a separate file but from a series. The files are separately sectioned within iTunes and not under a single entity, like a TV Show is if you download the entire series.
I have put in groupings, artist etc, to sort them together, but I was wondering if there was anyway of bring them together under 1 banner, just as if it was a TV Show.

Nevermind, i've just worked out a way. If I put them all under 1 Album name, it groups all the video clips. Then it sorts them in order of Grouping, etc.

Edit video clips together..?

Hello. This may be a crazy question. I looked at the product information for QuickTime Pro but I could not find an answer to this question.
With QT Pro can you edit together various small video clips that are taken with video camera (say 15 to 30 seconds in length each).. to make a small mini-video. Plus, even add a soundtrack.. and maybe even a few pictures..etc.
Is this possible with QT Pro. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

As long as the files from the camera are supported by QuickTime the Pro upgrade can be used to edit and make new files. It does not edit MPEG-1 formats.
QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks".

Question about putting video clips together

I am trying to put clips together in Premier Elements 12 using Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting an error message: "This thype of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
I admit that the clips are mostly jpeg and Flip video. I have installed the Flipshare software on the computer. What can I do to put these clips together? I saw an answer that mentioned exporting the BBB.prel Timeline to an appropriate file saved to the computer hard drive and then import that file into AAA.prel, using AAA.prel's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets from where you drag the import to the Expert workspace Timeline to join the AAA.prel content already there.
But I don't know how to export, and what is an "appropriate file"?
Thanks.

We need more information in order to resolve your issue.
Are you saying that you cannot import even .jpeg photos into your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project...and your Flip video as well?
a. Were these jpeg processed in Photoshop? Do you know if they have the CMYK color profile? What are their pixel dimensions (width and height in pixels)?
b. What is the brand/model/settings of the camera producing the Flip video?
With the above information we can get at the media and program compatibility issue(s) that might be triggering the message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
You say that you have installed "Flipshare software" to your computer. What do you intend to do with it? If you are thinking to use it to convert the problem files into another format that Premiere Elements will accept, we still need to know the properties of what you are working with and set Premiere Elements accordingly.
The concept of using content from one Premiere Elements project file into another Premiere Elements project file does not apply to the situation that you describe for your issue.
You need to describe what you have for media and then we can proceed from there.
The brand/model/settings for the camera that produced the Flip video is a good start.
MediaInfo and gspot are programs to get at the properties of your video. But the brand/model/settings information may be all that we need.

http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Lining up Two Video clips-please help!

So hi! I've been using premiere for about a year, I came from Sony Vegas Pro.
Anyway, we had a shoot yesterday, a two camera interview on one subject. (7d &5dmII) both shooting 23.976fps and we recorded our audio with an external recorder.
So, I lined up the audio by turning the turning the 'Show Audio in Time Units' on. This works great. I can move the audio to perfectly match up between the frames of the video in 1/4800 increments. Lovely.
After I lined up the audio I attempted to line up the two video tracks on top of each other (when the clap board strikes) and even though the Show Audio in Time Units is enabled, I can't perfectly line up these tracks. The track snaps between frames, making it impossible to line up. Yes, snapping is turned off. How do I move the video 'between the frames' so to speak? This was quite easy to do in Vegas.
Thank you!

Craig,
I strongly agree. Back in those days, I never felt comfortable with video, even if we recorded it to 2" tape. I could not hold that up to the light and see my images! It was "the devil's work." Back then, there was no deck-to-deck editing, and only doing a diagonal cut and tape job - but you could not really see where you were cutting.
Regarding NLE work nowadays, like you, I'd only go back for a "trip down memory lane." I can do on a simple laptop, 10,000 more things than I could ever do on an 8-plate Moviola - things that I could not even imagine back then. Had I been given a peak at PrPro in 2010, back in '72, I would never have been able to either believe it, or comprehend it.
You know, every time that I see the word Bin, I can conjure up those laundry "bins," with racks above and either clips or clothes pins. I also remember squinting to try and read the cryptic notes in grease pencil at the head of each in the darkened edit booth. "is that a 5, or an 8? Oh SHOOT, I just smudged it!"
Don't get me started on mixed formats. I'd never have considered mixing 8mm (split-16), S-8, 16mm and a bit of 35mm in an edit. Only recourse was a trip to the lab for prints, and we always knew that quality was going to differ greatly. Now, we just run the stuff through a conversion program, Import and edit happily, or nearly so.
Yes, I will take that random crash/hang, and smile. If the Moviola crashed, we had to fly a tech from Dallas and then hold our breath. Of course we could jump over to our rewinds and splicing block, and still get a bit of work done - the "old fashioned way."
The kids have no idea of easy they have it - right on their desktops. I envy them, 'cause they started with NLE and probably have creative ideas, that I will never have, just 'cause I still have a slightly closed view of things. I envy them!
OK, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
