Marked edit point at 1 frame off from playhead

The drugs wore off many years ago so I can't blame that. I move the playhead to a spot I want as an edit out point, in the timeline or viewer, mark the point and then notice the actual outpoint is 1 frame past the playhead thus making the duration 1 frame too long. Have to always go and trim back a frame. I must have changed some setting or another because I don't ever remember this happening before. Thanks, Richard

No, it isn't the drugs or even excessive caffine ... its the way FCP works. The playhead displays the frame in front of it. To check it, zoom in on your Timeline and you'll see the how it works.

  • Can I mark multiple edit points during live video capture

    I'm scheduled to provide edited video clips immediately following a live event coverage. I know I can capture live signal via uncontrollable source, but  how can I mark edit points on the fly for quick turnaround edits once the event is complete?
    I'm using a new 2011 MBP 17" i7, 8GB RAM, SSD and FCP Studio 3, connected to firewire feed from another device being fed by the camera operator.
    Thanks all

    Thank you Andy, Nate and Patrick.
    I took Cut Notes with me on my wife's iPad to the shoot this morning and was thrilled with the speed and ease of use that got my project completed, selected clips edited and posted and the customer happy before leaving the venue.
    You can see some of the clips here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rnc+chair&aq=f
    Portions of the audio will be used on NPR this evening.
    Any thoughts whether this capability might make it into FCP X so I won't need to carry the iPad to my next shoot?

  • Using Overwrite, snapped PC files from Vegas are 1 frame off in timeline!

    Perhaps someone here can offer some help...
    I was given a 30 minute piece of video that someone else created and started in Sony Vegas on PC. I have to finish the project in FCP. I personally did the final Audio soundtrack myself in Pro Tools. I am syncing that with this video, that had a "rough" early version of the same audio.
    The person who gave me the files delivered them in AVI format. As many editing programs do, Vegas apparently split the 30 minutes of video/audio (around 6 gig of DV-NTSC 29.97 video) into multiple 1 gig pieces. So I have 6 (1gig) .avi clips that should snap back together frame accurate to get the 30 minutes back in the timeline in FCP.
    So, I setup a standard DV-NTSC FCP project and I imported my audio first, so I could verify time cues, etc.
    I import the AVI files, then Snap them in the timeline front to previous end, carefully, using Overwrite.
    However, all of the video files are exactly 1 frame off at the end of each clip. As if either the Vegas splitting chopped off a frame at the end while splitting, or FCP is losing a frame as I import and then snap it in the time line. I can determine that it is exactly 1 frame, because of my "final", non-split audio track that is sync'd just underneath it. At the timeline area where each new clip gets snapped in, I can zoom way in and determine that the rough audio from the video track, is off by a frame with my final audio track.
    It's not a drift problem, because if I line up each single clip on it's own with my audio, it stays perfectly in sync until the final frame. Then it's 1 frame short.
    So by the time I snap in 6 clips, my video is exactly 6 frames off at the ending with my audio track (which I know is correct).
    Sorry for being a bit lengthy, but it is hard to explain otherwise...
    Is there something I am overlooking? Shouldn't FCP handle the AVI files okay? The person who gave the files to me from Vegas states that they should be frame accurate regardless of the split.
    I am going to try them in another program to see what I discover, but I am stumped right now in Final Cut Pro? (That is assuming the Vegas splits were correct? Maybe that is the culprit?)
    Thanks for any thoughts!
    Wade

    Thanks David...
    I was able to finally conducted a test. I went to a friends studio that runs Premiere Pro 2.0. I checked the files there and the split AVI files do line up frame accurate perfectly and there were no frames cut off. (No surprise as it's PC files used in a PC format
    Also, I first mentioned that I thought it was the end of the file that was missing a frame. It actually looks to be the opposite. It's at the front of the file that is off and missing 1 frame.
    So, shouldn't I be able to use the AVI files in FCP frame accurate? Is there some dummy setting I am missing? Lastly, since AVI files are not the best format to use in FCP, can anyone recommend a conversion method for me to use for these files in FCP?
    Thanks again!

  • Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

    I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?
    Matt

    With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

  • View all what I have done from a specific start point or time frame ?

    While I am Creating A Controlling Area,  and Defining a Cost Center Standard Hierarchy

  • Is there anyway to have Premiere Pro recognize the "in" & "out" points and the sequence's "home" (first frame) as edit points so that the up & down arrow work as short cuts on these areas?

    Is there anyway to have Premiere Pro recognize the "in" & "out" points and the sequence's "home" (first frame) as edit points so that the up & down arrow work as short cuts on these areas?

    Hey guys, I wrote a big long speech trying to be more clear and was just getting more confusing. LOL
    Hopefully this image makes my question a bit easier to understand. In green you can see how the up and down arrow keys land while in Final Cut. In red how they land while in Premiere. I'd like them to land like Final Cut. Thanks!

  • How ripple edit an edit point incrementally, frame by frame in CC?

    I know I can do this in CS6, since I do it daily at my job, but on my home computer running CC, I can't seem to figure out how to trim or ripple edit in one frame increments? I remap a lot of my keys, so I don't remember what they are originally, and I can't seem to figure out the name of this command.

    Select the edit point with the Ripple Trim tool, the Tolling Edit tool, or the Selection tool, then press the keyboard shortcut for Trim Forward or Trim Back:
      COMMAND
    WINDOWS
    MAC
      Trim Backward
    Ctrl+Left

    I'm not a Mac user so can't speak specifically about using Time Machine but if it is possible to get to an earlier version of the Lightroom Catalog then I would try that, yes.  Backups are another way of doing this.  Just make sure you make a copy of your current Catalog before replacing it with another one.

  • Color's timeline is one frame off on occasion

    Hi there, odd problem I'm having.
    Show shot on RED, cut in Premiere (about 4 mins long), then baked out to ProRes 4444 at its native framerate (23.98), re-cut, then sent to FCP. Now, there were some weird errors there, but I worked around them okay. Made sure the timebase and framerate are 23.98, sent to Color, all seems well, except on occasion the cut is one frame off. The project is also at 23.98 in Color.
    Here's the kicker. If I unlock my track and use the Roll tool to fix the annoying error, then sometimes the frame will double up (it will seem like there's the same frame at the end of one clip and at the beginning of the next), or the last frame of the previous clip will become the first frame of the next, creating a different problem and solving nothing.
    Ideas on what might be going on?
    I'm monitoring through a Matrox MXO2 mini, out from my expresscard slot, if it makes any difference.

    I am having the same problem right now with a feature film that is a single baked quicktime (apple pro res HQ 1920 x 1080 23.976 fps) for each scene.
    I take the scene and open it in Final Cut Pro, I make the sequence settings automatically fit to the clip.
    I cut it up into the seperate shots in the Final Cut timeline. I send to Apple Color.
    Then in Apple Color, I see the the edit points are sometimes one frame off (not all of them are off). In all these instances the edit point is rolled one frame forward.
    If I color correct and then send back to Final Cut Pro, the new color corrected timeline also is one frame off based on the new footage and xml that came out of Color.
    Help!
    Using Final Cut Pro  7.0.3
    Color 1.5.3
    If I look at the format of the original one piece quicktime in Final Cut Pro it says 23.98, and when I open the specific compression setting it states the exact 23.976
    In Color it states 23.98 in project settings and if I look at the format of what it is rendering out to Final Cut Pro, it says 24fps. If I open footage rendered in Color (with project settings of 23.98) in quicktime it shows it to be a 24fps clip.
    But it is already wrong in the locked timeline of Color. That just after sending from Final Cut Pro. Before any grading, rendering, or sending
    That would mean that something is wrong with the xml file Final Cut Pro is sending out.

  • IMessages to an iPhone occasionally appears with words cut off from end

    When sending texts from iMessages to an iPhone, the text occasionally appears on their iPhone with a couple words cut off from the end.  It appears fine in the iMessages display/history.   Here's a few things I've noticed:
    - It's repeatable.  For example, the following message always causes the issue:  "man, why are you here?  Two are in testing places".  On the iPhone it appears as "man, why are you here?  Two are in testing".
    - It's a problem with iMessages.  If I send the exact same text from the iPhone, it goes through just fine.  The message has to originate from MacOS iMessages.  (I'm using the latest Mountain Lion and all updates as of 12/21/12)
    - The full message is actually being successfully transferred to the phone;  it just does not display correctly.  There are two pieces of evidence for this.  If on the iPhone, the user copies the truncated message and pastes it somewhere else, the full message is pasted!  Moreover,  on the top level the messages app (where you see the last message from all the recent people you texted with), the full message displays.
    - It can happen with both short and longer messages.   Here's another longer message I noticed got cut off: "That's funny that you though I was joking when I said I was debugging.  Why is that so weird?"
    - It has something to do with the length of the message or how it is being wrapped.  I can create modifications of those texts with the same length, and they will cut off. (That said, some modifications will not cause the problem, so it's more than just length.  Maybe it has something to do with how it wraps the words?)  Usually adding a few words to the message will allow it to go through.
    - It always cuts off at a space.  In other words, it will not truncate something in the middle of a word.
    - I have only seen it cut off one or two words before.
    Apple really needs to make this a high priority fix.  Unreliable messaging of this sort is a deal-breaker for iMessages, IMO.  My guess is that they haven't had more reports for this because people simply don't notice unless the last word or two totally ruins the meaning of a text and the other person points it out. 
    Can people try to recreate this on their machines?  If so, please do so and file a bug report (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html).  All you have to do is get on your iMessage app and text one of those two messages to your phone.  If it appears truncated on your phone, you've confirmed it.  You're welcome to use any of my post in any bug report.

    Hi,
    some entries had    (tabs probably)
    I had seen these in Quicklook at the point where the Message appeared to show double spaces after a Full Stop or Question Mark.
    You are right that it have not dawned on me that I had not seen them between words.
    It was TextEdit as well (Not sure why I said QuickLook)

    Part of this means the iMessages sent out.
    The "repeat" is the sync back from the the ID  the iPhone is using.
    I am presuming the leading numbers are the iMessage identifier that iMessages uses to tell whether it has been Synced

  • Editing video by half frames or less

    I'm and audio guy trying to edit video, so I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terms, but can you slide video in Final Cut Pro by less than a frame? e.g. a half frame or 1/4 frame, or even miliseconds?
    I know that in ProTools you can "nudge" audio around on many different "grids". Is is possible to view Final Cut Pro in a 1/2 or 1/4 frame 'grid'?
    The goal here is to edit 4 video segments (or video 'tracks') that must line up with my 'clap board' start. I can see my 'clap' in the audio wave form for all 4 video tracks, but they are just slightly off, by a 1/2 and 1/4 frame. Hence I need to slide them just a bit to have them line up.
    Thanks for your help, and I apologize if I'm not using the correct terms.

    Maybe this is just the difference between audio and video editing programs, not sure. Perhaps there are better video programs out there that can nudge video in smaller increments?
    In the audio program I am running, ProTools, you can nudge audio by 1/4 frame or a sub frame. You can also set the grid to view these increments, thus you are able to 'snap' audio (and one track of video) to a 1/4 frame or sub frame grid.
    Hence I could bring the video into ProTools and adjust it so that the very beginning of the video is where my 'clap' is, then import that into Final Cut Pro. However, this would add another step of processing the video and I may loose some quality. (ProTools converts the video during a 'bounce to video' step when exporting.)
    For the record, in the audio world a 1/4 frame can be very obvious. The video I am working on shows three percussionists playing very complex 32nd-note patterns at 120 bpm. If the audio is 1/4-frame off, it sounds like absolute mud.
    We tested two video tracks together, which were off by a 1/2 frame, and it actually looks ok. I was recording the audio simultaneously in ProTools so I'm using that audio anyway, so it will work out fine.
    I still feel that Final Cut Pro should have the ability to 'razor' at the exact point you want to cut, then snap to the frame.
    Thanks for the help.
    Note to Apple: talk to DigiDesign's ProTools programmers about showing a 1/4-frame or sub-frame grid in Final Cut Pro. Maybe they can help you.

  • Edit point glitch in Preview

    Hi All,
    In a simple title sequence, I cut from a title frame with white letters on black to the same type of frame with a line added. What you see is a main title and then a subtitle pops on under the main title.
    This looks perfectly smooth in FCP and the Quicktime conversion. But when I play it in DVD preview there's a jump or glitch at the edit point. Not a smooth pop-up.
    I wonder how to fix this. I don't want a "mistake" in the DVD file that's created for burning.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    If you stay within FCS2 / apple's pro apps exclusively (meaning FCP => DVDSP) then yes you can address this issue with many more tools at your disposal and with far better results (especially for audio, titles, and extreme fine tuning).
    However this is not the case with apple's i-apps. High Precision modifications become more cumbersome within apple's i-apps because the supplied tools have more limitation and are IMO overly standardized in an attempt to make them more user friendly.

  • Time cursor 'jumps about' when setting edit points in CS3.2

    Don't know if anyone else has experienced this:
    Yesterday when editing a short sequence the source window timeline indicator kept bouncing around when I set in or out points. Here's the procedure I went through:
    1. Dragged source clip to source window.
    2. Hit space bar, then 'I' to mark in point whilst clip playing, and 'O' for out point whilst clip playing, then space bar or K to stop.
    3. Dragged clip to timeline. (Alls well to this point)
    4. Highlight source window and hit space bar to begin playing clip again to take a second section, hit I to mark an in point and here's where everything goes wrong. The clip doesn't continue playing, it stops. The in point has been marked correctly but the timeline indicator has bounced miles away from where the clip stopped, either forward or back in time, and apparently by a random amount. The one consistent thing was everytime I dragged a new clip to the source window, the first time I marked an In or Out, the clip would behave, it's on the second time of marking from the same source clip problems started.
    Anyone experienced this or have solutions?

    Perhaps this is related to the intellipoint mouse driver that causes weird interface issues?

  • Cannot speed clips up without it ruining edit points

    Hi I am having real nightmares with Premiere. It just never seems to do even the most basic tasks properly.
    I am simply trying to create a benny hill style spoof. I have cut the sequence at NORMAL speed. Then I selected all video clips in the sequence and chose Clip Speed Duration and put in 250%. I have tried both with Ripple Edit on and off. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Each time it speeds up the clips but the edit points maintain the exact same positions in time. In other words the whole sequence is screwed up because at 250% speed, each clip effectively runs longer and the edits are useless. What could it possibly think I mean when I speed up the clips and then tell it to ripple edits? I have absolutely no idea what is going on here? Is this yet another bug with this software. I have recently moved from Final Cut and never had any such problems in that tool. Does anyone know what is going on? I tried nesting the clips into one but then the option to set speed is not available so that's useless.
    Thanks for any help or an explanation of why this is happening. This is CC2014 by the way

    Ok I just worked it out. I have to click the link thing next to speed. I can't say I'm impressed with this usability though. If I have created edit points why would I want to trash them by speeding up a clip? Surely it makes complete sense to scale the edit as well. So if I'm speeding up all clips, logic would suggest that the sequence will be shorter surely. The way this works by default is completely non sensical in my opinion. Of course it may be that I accidentally activated this option and the default is to scale clips on changing duration. Any suggestions here?
