Losing clip preview in Viewer after paste

Running FCPX 10.1.1. I think this started to happen after the 10.1 upgrade.
In the Timeline, I scrub to a clip, and  what's under the playhead displays in the Viewer. So far so good. Now, I select and copy a clip in the Timeline, and then move the playhead where I want to paste the clip, the Viewer now showing where I've repositioned the playhead for an edit.
BUT when I paste, the Viewer goes black except for a generic icon indicating the name of the Project:
At this point, moving the playhead around the Timeline has fo affect on the Viewer: still just the generic icon. I can hit play, and the playhead doesn't move (nor does the Viewer show anything beside the icon).
It's only when I refocus on the Viewer specifically and back again to the Timeline (either by clicking on it, or via key command) that the Viewer shows what's under the playhead. All of this doesn't happen when I simply drag clips around.
Dang annoying. Something I'm doing wrong, or a bug?

I copied quiet a few compund clips that are made up of edited MultiCam Clips from different projects to a new project just yesterday. It grew to be 50 mins. On a couple - toward the end - I did experience something similar as you describe. I "fixed" it by double clicking on the "pasted to" "new" Project in the browser and its timeline a couple of times, then scrubbing. It may have worked itself out had I just waited tho.
Good luck

  • Clip is flipped after pasting "scale"

    After choosing "Paste Attributes...", my clip is flipped (mirrored horizontally). Here's what I do:
    Clip A is scaled down smaller than full-screen, and positioned off-center (to the right).
    I want clip B to be identical in size and position.
    Select clip A
    Choose Copy
    Select clip B
    Choose "Paste Attributes..."
    Results:
    If I check the Transform box, clip B is sized and positioned identical to clip A, but it displays flipped, or mirrored horizontally. For example, the person in the clilp had walked from right to left. After pasting attributes, they now walk from left to right.
    If I only check only the Position box, clip B does align correctly with clip A (off to the right) - and it is NOT flipped (mirrored).
    If I only check the Scale box, clip B scales to the size of clip A, remains centered, but it is flipped.
    If I flip clip B before pasting attributes, it remains flipped afterwards.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I don't want to flip clip B after pasting attributes, unless someone can tell me how to make it snap to the exact width of clip A.
    Thank you,
    Bart

    Under "Scale" in the inspector, after opening the small triangle to view X and Y values, I did find X to be negative. Changing it to positive restored clip B to its un-flipped state. Thank you, Russ. I appreciate such quick replies from both you and Luis.

  • Can't see clip preview in clip or timeline view

    This may be a simple problem, but I am brand new to this. I am making a movie out of photos, and the process seems simple. I drag a photo from my iphoto library (from the photos pane) into the clip view (or timeline). The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black. So I can't really easily edit the clips because I have no idea which one is which (besides looking at the filename!). The images I am importing are jpegs and like I said it has no problem playing the movie correctly I just see what I am working with in the clip view. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the forum!
    The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the
    clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black.
    Very strange.
    To make sure we understand what you see... The imported image plays okay on the timeline after it's imported, but its thumbnail in the timeline is black. Instead of the thumbnail showing the imported image, the thumbnail is black. Correct?
    Does the imported clip play black too?
    The only thing I can think of that makes a clip play black is when the Ken Burns Effect is set to pan above/below the image or left/right of the image. Then, instead of importing the image, Ken Burns imports the black border along one side of the image.
    To unset the pan so Ken Burns is centered over the image, do this:
    1. Click on any image in the iPhoto library.
    2. Turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox.
    3. Click in the "Start" half of the Start/End thingy.
    4. Drag the zoom slider (the slider with the small/large face profile) a bit to the right, then all the way to the left.
    5. Click on the "End" half of the thingy and repeat #4.
    Now the import is centered. If the pan was causing the problem, that should fix it.

  • Fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them.

    fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them , i need help getting them to appear in the viewer.

    I have the same issue. I am using apex.oracle.com for some test applications, but for last couple of weeks when I login and click the "Application builder" I could not see my applications there (around 4-5 of them)! It says No applications found.
    Neither I have any application groups setup nor do any criteria given in "Application" search field under "Application builder".
    The only way I could access some, if not all, of my applications is to pull it from the link under the context box "Recent" (which you can see in the right hand side of the "Application builder" page.)
    Any help is greatly appreciated. This issue is not a show stopper as I could still pull out my critical applications from the recent link, but its definitely a worrisome issue.
    Thanks in advance

  • When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish

    When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Do you have an example that someone could look at? I wouldn't be surprised if most PDFs you found were gibberish. PDF is a print format and is really only designed to be printed out and read by a human. Constructing a PDF with real Hebrew Unicode would be a rare find. Here is one example I found by passing the Hebrew word for "Hebrew" in Hebrew in Google. This is a valid PDF. I have no idea what it says.

  • When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    In Preview's View Menu there is PDF display.
    The Two Pages option places two pages side by side.
    However I have found it is not consistent with different PDFs.
    (I also set the Preferences to 50% for PDF display)
    Example
    It seems to works once you are past the first page (Although I do have a 2 page document where it does not work).

  • I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline.  You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done. 
    If the clip was already in the timeline when you  opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip.  You don't drag it back to the timeline.
    You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
    Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect.  But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering.  One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

  • Saved Objects are not displayed in designer view after insert

    Hi All,
    My HFRS is acting weird today. I tried to insert a saved Object(text,Image) into my report. I have inserted them by (Insert>>Saved Object) but I'm unable to view them in designer view after insert. When I run the PDF Preview I'm able to see the objects on the report. Any assistance? I want to move the text object to the bottom of the report.
    Thanks.

    Resolved it.

  • Moving Markers with Clips in Multitrack View?

    Say for example I want to set a marker at 10:50 on a clip in Multitrack view, but then I move the clip forward by 5 minutes.
    To my knowledge, the only way I can set a marker is if I set it on the Multitrack itself, and not the clips within the multitrack...which results in the marker staying at 10:50 even though I'd like it to move to 15:50
    Is there a way to set a marker on the clip (without going into the clip's waveform) so that it'll move around with any changes?
    Basically, I'm looking for the same functionality present in After Effects when you press Numpad * on a layer and it creates a marker relative to that time in the layer, rather than an 'objective' marker in the scheme of the entire multitrack.
    Thanks!

    No, I think the only way to do it is to add the Marker in the Waveform Edit view. But make sure that Synchronize Clips with Waveform Editor is turned on in Preferences/Multitrack Clips so that the Play Head cursor and view remain synced in both views.

  • Clips weren't updated after finalize a project and edit again

    I finalized a project and edit it again. The new added clip won't be showed properly when play.
    It is correct from the edit preview. I can see the updated or new added clips.
    However, when I play it, the new added clip won't be shown, and it just repeat the last clip before the new added clip.
    Even I tried to finalize the project again, it is still the same. Is it a bug or should I do anything before revise a finalized project? Please advise, thank you.

    To delete video permanently from your hard disk:
    Select the frames you want to remove from your source video, and then press Delete or click the Reject button in the iMovie toolbar.
    If you’ve chosen to display all clips in your selected Events, a red line appears across the top of the rejected frames.
    Choose File > “Move Rejected Clips to Trash.”
    All the clips that you’ve rejected in any Event or project are queued to move to the Trash.
    If you’re confident you know which clips you’ve previously rejected and you want to delete all of them, click “Move to Trash.”
    The video is removed from your Events, but it’s still taking up space in the Trash.
    Click the desktop or a Finder window to see the Finder menus, and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.
    The video is permanently removed from your hard disk and its space is available for use.
    To bring the remaining clips back into view, choose Favorites Only, “Favorites and Unmarked,” or All Clips from the Show pop-up menu below the Event Library.
    For more detail info, check iMovie 08 Help.
    Hope this helps,

  • Updating a view after modifying a table...

    Hello,
    Here is the scenario.
    I have a a table in HANA with 50+ columns of data.  I have created both Attribute and Analytical views of that data.  These views have been activated and deployed.  Now I need to modify my table to add two new columns that I will want to included in my existing Attribute and Analytical views.  How can I accomplish this?  It seems that when I modify my table, the views in HANA studio do not have the ability to be updated.  It seems I have to re-create my voews from scratch to now include my two new columns.  Hopefully I am missing something simple.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Matt, no way you need to recreate your views after a DDL change on the underlying tables.
    When the table structure changes, you usually need to close any information view editors on the model in question and then reopen the model for editing after the change, but otherwise should be fine. I have done this many times.
    What revision are you working on? Can you give the exact sequence of steps?
    Regards,
    Justin
