Making a Project Clip Repeat

Is there a way to make a clip of a project I am working on in the timeline repeat itself over and over again the way it does in the Events rather than moving on to the next clip?

If i highlight a clip in the timeline and start the skimmer at its beginning by pushing the spacebar or the L key or the play key in the view when the clip completes itself in the viewer the play just goes on to the next clip in the timeline. I would like it to go back to the beginning of the clip selected and have it keep repeating itself. A clip repeats itself over and over again in the Event browser when I push the space bar but not in the timeline. Is there a way I can make an individual clip I highlight in the timeline repeat itself. I get nothing when I push CMD-L and when I push the I key it just moves the selected portion inward for editing.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.

Single clip repeated 4 times in FCP timeline. SP 2 issue

Hi all,
Single clip repeated 4 times in FCP timeline, when I apply an effect to clip for in SP2 its applying it to all three clips? Why?

That's the way it works. You have 4 instances of one thing, you change one you change them all.
What you want to do is first Clip>Replace with Independent Audio File Project (this creates a new copy of that one instance).
Then when you effect that clip it is not affecting the other 3 files, just the new one you've created.
I suppose one could argue that the program should do that for you, after all some other program I use works that way - it creates a new file while not affecting the others (actually it gives you the option of both methods). Feel free to file a feedback request.

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

How do I make precise frame range deletions in the middle of project clip?

I need to make a precise deletion of frames 8:55:15 to 8:56:12 in the middle of my project video clip.
Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
Problem: When in my project, while the red pointer tells me exactly where I am in my clip (when I select Playhead Information in View), the problem is that I have no information to tell me the exact location of the right and left selection handles so I can precisely select 8:55:15 and 8:56:12 of my clip for deletion. I press the Option key and the pointer moves to the beginning or end of the clip, not to one end handles of the selection.
In iMovie 3 when the selection handles are moved I get information as to exactly where each handle rests in terms of time or frames for easy deletion of the exact selection I want to remove.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Thank you.

Don't use it. It is for trimming the ends from the clip selection.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Yes. The basic strategy is to expand the project to its maximum scale (0.5 sec) and to then select the range of frames you wish to to edit. Start by slowly dragging the playhead across the clip in the area you wish to access. The time in white below the window will display the exact (minute:) second: and frame across which you are skimming, as well as display the frame itself in both the thumbnail and the preview screens. (NOTE: I prefer visual selection of the frames rather than using a time reference since such references may change as transitions and titles are added.) When you locate the first frame you wish to delete, press the mouse to select it. While holding down the mouse, continue to scrub the clip to locate the last frame you wish to delete. When you locate it, release the mouse. At this point you can either split the clip and keep/delet the sub-segments as needed or delete the selected range using the "Delete Selection" or "Cut" Edit menu options.
Another method would be to select the approximate range you wish to edit in the middle of the clip and then grab and drag the beginning and ending "handles" to adjust the exact start and stop frames for the "Selected" range. In this case, the times ate the bottom of the "Project" window represent the "in" and "out" points for the range of frames currently selected. Once again, I prefer to select the in and out points visually as I scrub. Also, for me, this two-stage adjustment approach seems quicker and easier for my approach to editing.
The problem is that the playhead refers to the red pointer, thus I can get an exact location of the pointer in terms of time and frame, but NOT a location of the selection handles.
Okay, I see what you mean. However, if you use the two-stange method described above, the point where you press the mouse to mark the begin handle of the selected range is the "begin handle". Same holds true for the release point (playhead time time) for the stop handle.
Is there some way I can line up the pointer exactly with the location of the right or left handle then use Option key and Left/Right arrow keys to move the handles to my exact range frame by frame?
Not really at the same time. iMovie does allow you to set the exact start point and will tell you when you have reached the exact number of seconds and frames for the range you wish to delete. Adding the two together does give you the exact time of the end of the range in seconds and frames.

Capture Now - Making New Master Clips ???

Now i really have a strange thing going on... I am using Capture Now to start an edit session with HDV Footage and it is making NEW Master Clips when there is a stopdown/startup recording on the tape... (a change in setup for a shot)...
I have gone in the User Settings and unclicked all of the stuff dealing with dropframe or timecode breaks with no luck...
Any Help ???
-Brian

It will make life harder to keep the bin's organized... because i am going to have to view each clip separately -vs- scanning one clip that has all of my b-roll or my uppers / interviews to find the story...
yea i did restart the whole computer and had to reset the capture preferences and such...
I do know about the grief that is associated with timecode breaks in the middle of a shot... dealt with stuff like that in school 7 years ago...
I do appreciate the help...thanks again...

Motion Project clip in FCP clip does not export

Dear All,
I edited one clip from FCP 06 sequence with Motion Project and replaced the original clip with the motion project version. I did frame blending effect on the original FCP clip, which had 25% slow motion applied (constant) through FCP. After the clip was replaced with the new one, I exported the whole sequence from FCP to a couple of formats through Compressor (a custom DVD and a custom H.264 formats), the fragment where the Motion Project clip supposed to be did not show the effect of the frame blending. However it shows fince on the timeline in FCP.
I will appreciate any suggestions,
Izabela

Hi Izabela,
Did you render the Motion effects in FCP prior to sending to Compressor? Are you using the 'Send to Compressor' (Not that that is wrong, it's just so I know your workflow)?
If it's just the Frame blending that is a problem for you just check your sequence settings in FCP. With the sequence window selected do Cmd-0(zero) to open the sequence settings. In the Render Control tab under Master Templates and Motion Projects, change the Quality to Best and tick the box underneath.
Now check to see if the Motion clip has become unrendered. If not, double click it and in the viewer goto the Motion tab and change the scale then back to it's original setting (just to unrender the clip). Now rerender the clip and retry your send to compressor.

Copy project clip with voice over from one project to another

Hi,
I would like to copy some part of the project clip into another new project. I would able to copy Video and its sounds but not external voiceover sound which is attached to the project.
Can anyone please tell me how to copy voiceover part as well with video?
Reg,
Sri.

Steve,
Thanks for the mention of the Project Archiver. As I normally set up Projects on externals, in anticipation of migrating them between my computers, I had just not thought to mention that. The OP will benefit from that tip!
One thing for the OP to remember is that many systems will not boot properly, if a thumbdrive is attached first. Many USB devices get in the way, if plugged in and turned on, prior to boot up. My Epson printer MUST be turned OFF, or my laptop will not boot. Many have had the same thing happen with most thumbdrives too.
Appreciated,
Hunt

Hello Kris,
Could you explain a little bit more, and tell us which version of CP you are using? P.e. are you talking about the situation when reviewing a Quiz, or are you referring to the Success caption during the quiz?

Stabilization of multiple Project Clips

I have several project clips connected by cross dissolves that I'd like to apply stabilization to. Is this just a matter of selecting the first clip in the group, shift clicking the last one and then opening the Inspector and clicking "Stabilization?"

That should work.

When I make a project in iDVD'09, there are sometimes green blocs with points flickering in some scenes of my iMovie-film. In iMovie there is no problem with this film, but the problem begins by exporting to iDVD and making a project there.

Who can help me, then I cann't find everything about this in any forum?

Hi
Can be a problem that get multiplied and visible when iDVD encode for DVD.
A. See if problem can be isolated to a single frame in the movie and re-import this clip and see if it's better
B. When free space on Start-Up hard disk goes low - strange things like this might occure. I never go under 25Gb free space on this Start-Up Mac OS hard disk !
C. Does this problem arises what ever encoding quality You use ?

Relink project clips with different frame rate

Somehow the clips in my project sequence ended up with a different frame rate (25) than the original media files (23.95), and they are no longer linked -- maybe this happened during import from iMovie. When I try to relink project files to source media, I get an error message saying they cannot be relinked because they have a different frame rate. I changed the sequence framerate to 23.95 (by creating a new project with 23.95 as the frame rate, then copying and pasting the other timeline into it), but all the clips remain at 25, so the problem remains.
How can I change the clip properties to frame rate 23.95 so I can link to the original media?
Thanks.

The media got unlinked importing the project and events from iMovie to Final Cut.
I've attached screen shots with all the specs.

Project clip vs event clip

Im new to editing and trying to get to grips with the basics, so I'm hoping someone can help.
If I select an Event clip to use in a project, bring it in, trim it down (and anything else I might do) - does that alter in any way the original Event clip?
Or is it the case that the Event clips are always retained as originals and what I'm effectively doing is working with a copy?
I'd love to understand before I make a costly error!
Many thanks
Bob
(Btw - I'm using iMovie 11)

You can move your events to an external drive, but you must do it in iMovie.
The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
For new imports from your camera, you can import directly onto the external drive if you want from the import screen.
For existing events, in iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK.
Now you can hold the Command Key down while dragging the Event icon to the Disk icon in the Event Library List. If you drag rather than Command Drag, you will copy rather than move.
Another good way to move a project and all project assets to the external drive is the FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA command. First move your project to the destination drive by command dragging in the project library list. Then select the project and FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. It will let you move or copy your Events, and will make copies of photos, music, etc so you have it all in one place.
If you do all this within iMovie, re-editing the project is easily doable.
