Marking Used Clips in Events

I've tried to find this info, but I couldn't.
When I select portions of clips in Events and use them in the Timeline, they're not marked with the color line I see in some demos.
How do I make this function active? I'd like to visually see what's I've used.

I think that is a feature of iMovie but not of FCP X.

  • Marking used clips in browser

    anyone know if there's a button to reveal used clips in the timeline so they show up as used in the browser? Cannot find a function.
    thanks

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Did you try the searching dialog box? (Command-F)
    Select your option for searching "used" media.
    See user's manual (help menu) at page 228 and ss .
    Once you got the results simply create a new folder in browser and transfer "used" file to it.

  • Marking used clips and photos in video

    I am making a video with photos only. I will be using over 200 phtos.    How can I mark the phtos ive used?
    Many thanks
    Wendy

    Remember, iMovie can directly access the Events in iPhoto. So why not use iPhoto to organize the movie images? Just create an Event in iPhoto for collecting the images that you will use in the movie, then open iMovie and pick up those iPhoto images. This will give you many advantages:
    You can easily use any images you already have in iPhoto.
    There is no need to import/export because iMovie can grab the photos right out of iPhoto.
    If you end up not using an image in the movie you can remove it from the iPhoto Event you created to store the movie images.
    If you create an Event in iPhoto for the movie images, iPhoto will contain an exact record of the images used in the movie.

  • View used clips

    Is there a way to identify which clips have been used in an edit (and not from the file browser on the left of the timeline)?  With a large project I want a quick way to see if I have used a clip on my timeline or not.  See attachment. 
    I want the clips in the timeline (GREEN) to show that they have been used in the clip window (BLUE).
    Thanks

    To have this facility, you need to get into the habit of marking all clips you have used for your project with either favorite or any keyword tags.
    If you have not done so and would like to do it now, then you need to select each clip on the timeline and via a right click seek the portion of clip used in the 'reveal in event browser'...this will show the portion of clip you have used in the event browser, and you can now press 'F' or opt to give it a keyword.
    Once you have tagged all 'used clips' in this manner, you need to do this:
    Look at the option for clips displayed in the event browser...at the top left of the event browser [marked within the red oval]. When you press the arrows at the end of 'all clips' the present selection in the above image, you get the dropdown menu below:
    In this menu you have to select 'No ratings or Keywords'. Once you select this option, you will have this in your event browser:
    only those [unmarked] clips which you have not used.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to automatically hide used clips??

    is there a way to hide the used clips??
    iMovie 10.0.4

    You can capture the complete clip and then apply Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect over the captured clip. You could get the best of two worlds so: smooth capture and clips creation.

  • Add marker to clip in timeline

    How do you add a marker to a clip in the timeline in Premiere Pro CC?

    jstrawn wrote:
    You'll need to have the clip loaded in the source monitor in order to see its clip marker. You'll only see sequence markers directly in the sequence and/or program monitor.
    You should see all the markers in the timeline (sequence) however. My previous post http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073832#6073832 shows multiple, "aligned" (using Adobe's definition of "aligned") clip markers on different clips. All of those markers were added by pressing M while the clip was selected.
    I should add this though: I am pretty sure during my frustrating experience of using clip markers in the past two weeks that I have also had a clip refuse to mark. So the original poster may have encounterd he same bug that I also experienced - in which case nothing wrong is being done, and good luck resolving it - short of starting the project fresh and hoping not to trigger the software defect again.
    Unlike the original poster I didn't delve into that issue deeper at the time because I was just trying to get the damn job done - which required 3 complete rebuilds of the project from scratch. 7.2.1 is FULL of software defects as far as I have witessed. I am reverting to CS6 until Adobe spends more time on careful development and testing  and less on "features" in their future releases.

  • How to tell the date of a source clip (from events) in a project

    I am making a very long and complex project.
    I am using events from IHD and EHD. 
    The project has tons of clips from tons of different events spanning over 10 years.
    I want to add some still pics.  I want the still pics to be inserted around the same time the video was taken (i.e. my pics are sorted by date and my video clips in events are also sorted by date).
    Question is:
    Is there a way to see the date of the clip being used in the Project???
    (The events list the clip dates, but I have so many clips in the project, that I couldn't possibly find them all using the events view).
    So, I want to be able to say, this 10second portioned clip in this project was taken on April 5, 2005 for example.
    Can I do this some how??
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    Darn it.... I didn't realize this.
    I put together a 20min project so far... it is composed of many many few second clips from probably over 100 different events spanning over 10 years.... now i want to add the still pics to it..... so I guess it is a little to late for this solution ;(.  I probably should have added the stills during the time I added the video clips (since it would be hard to go back to see what events the videos clips in the project came from).
    I like to put all the video clips in first and then add the still pics.  Then add music last.
    But your tip is good to know and thanks so much again!

  • Where has "Duplicate Project + Used Clips" gone in 10.2 ?

    I want to backup my project and all the media it uses to an external hard drive.
    In 10.1 I could use, Duplicate Project + Used Clips , but where is that in 10.2?

    I'm assuming you mean 10.1.2, not 10.0.2. For the recent version, connect the external drive. Make a new library on it and set the library properties to be managed media, so the media in inside the library. Drag the project from the existing event on your drive to the event on the external drive, that will copy the project and the used media to that event. You'll also have the option to copy render and optimized media. I'd forget about that. Mail the drive and your colleague should be good to go.

  • Mark Clip - X shortcut doesn't work for some reason. Is there an easy way to mark a clip without going into Source Monitor?

    Hi guys,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
    I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
    So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
    Cheers!

    Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
    After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
    Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
    Why?
        - X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
        - M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
       HOWEVER:
        If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
        It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
        If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
    Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
    How it looks with marker added.
      Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
      Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
        2.  How it looks with marker added but you can't see
        3.  How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
    Hope this help!
    Cheers!

  • Newest iMovie - how to move selected parts of clips from events to trash

    Hello,
    I have used to import clips to events and than trimmed them down with the function "reject selection" and than when I used "Move rejected clips to trash" or something like that, iMovie removed the selections from the clips and generated new clips ones. It was fast and very nice feature.
    Now, with the new version I can't seem to find this functionality? Am I missing something?
    Kind regards,
    Uros

    Got the same problem. The menu item has disappeared in this botched-up job of an iMovie upgrade. When I tried to select rejected clips/segments and move them to the trash I was told to wait until iMovie has finished running tasks and that I'm to check the activity indicator. Problem is, there're no running tasks and no activity indicator!

  • Lifting compound clips into Event Library?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to save compound clips into your event library?  I have been syncing audio and video manually in the timeline-long interviews- and I'd like to lift these long, now compounded clips back into the event library so that I have more room to play.  Thanks!!!  Any ideas?  I'm I missing something?  Work Arounds?

    The best way to work with Compound Clips is to select the clips you want to use from the Event Browser then make those into a Compund Clip  - and THEN open that clip in the Timeline. That way the CC lives in your Event Browser and you can use it in any Project.
    I've not tried this workaround but it just came to me - try Creating a compound Clip in the Event Browser (use any clip for this) then with the CC that you want in the Event Browser open in your Timeline, select and copy its contents.
    Next, open the new CC in the Timeline and delete the clip (or clips) from it, and paste the stuff you want to save into it. As I said, it's just a hunch but it may work - please let me know what happens.

    This code was written (rather belatedly) in response to a question in [Example: Code to generate audio tone|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5243872]. Due to it's age, it has been locked.
    The replier wanted to know how to use JavaSound for a Morse code key. Actually now I think about it, the sound loops nicely, but it still demonstrates a slight click at start and stop. I tried using Clip.loop(0) to stop the sound, but that did not avoid the 'click'! I suppose you would need to do as the person was musing, and adjust the GAIN of the Clip up and down.
    In any case - questions.
    - Can anyone make this work for key presses? The first thing you'd need to do is a find on "TODO" and comment out the line that ensures the Code Key is not focusable (and then add a KeyListener(1)). The problem I encountered was that the KeyEvents were getting fired continuously, which caused the sound to 'stutter'. A Timer to ignore quickly repeated keys might work (though I could not make it work for me), but then that would introduce a lag between when whe key was released, and when the sound stopped. It would need to be a very short delay, to use it much in the way the mouse click currently works.
    - Any ideas on improvements to the basic code? (1) (I will be adding the ability to configure the parameters of the applet - more code lines. Possibly also converting the GAIN control from the mostly useless logarithmic ..whatever scale it uses, to linear.)
    1) Note that I had to use single spaces to indent - everything else blew the posting limit(2).
    2) Hence also, questions on 2nd post. ;)

    hi,
    you can use control break statements in ALV report.
    for example: if one PO is having more than one line item, that time you need to display PO only once.
