Matte and Title extend beyond Video clip???

I have several clips in my timeline with associated mattes and titles in tracks above the video clips. I right-clicked on each the video clip and checked the duration of the clip under the speed window, and then copied-and-pasted this into the speed window for both the title and matte clips to make sure that the title and matte span the same duration as the video clip. The problem is the matte and the title are extending beyond the duration of the video clip.
When I right click on the Matte and Title, the pop-up window indicates that the duration is (00:03:22;20), though when I click on Speed under the pop-up it indicates the duration is 00:03:22:14
Speed is set to 59.27 and frame blending is checked.
Any ideas of what is going on here?

Summary of what I did:
- I used capture now to capture about 30-minutes of video
- I used the razor tool to cut out parts I do not need and to make the
video into a bunch of clips
- I added a black matte that I need to appear at the bottom of each clip
- I added Boris Text that I need to appear at the bottom of each clip
- I place the first matte and text in the timeline and copy it to the start of each clip, the text changes on each clip, so I double-click on the others and change it, the matte stays the same throughout the timeline
The problem:
- the matte and the text clips do not span the duration of each of the video clips and I am unable to physically drag them (extend them) to match the duration of the video
- this is why I took the duration value of the video and tried to input the same value of the duration into the matte and title clips (after right-clicking on them) to force these clips to span the duration of each video clip
- I did not change the value to 59.27 on any of the clips, it did this itself
Am I approaching this completely wrong?
Should I be copying-and-pasting the duration of the each video clip into some other location for each matte and text clip?
Thanks for your assistance!!!!

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • How do I add a title to a video clip w/ LiveType 2 and Final Cut Express 4

    I have Final Cut Express 4 & LiveType 2.1.4, I'm not sure how to add titles or test to a video clip, and the tutorials for Final Cut Express 4 don't say how to get started in LiveType. How do I simply add text? The tutorials say how to add effects to the text they just don't say how to add it to the clip or how to get the clip into LiveType.

    Well, you don't actually _add text_ to a video clip, you _create a text clip_ and add that clip to your timeline, either adjacent to an existing clip or on the next higher track if you want to layer the text with an existing video clip.
    The very simplest way to add text is to use one of the *text generators* built into FCE. Lower Third, Text, Scrolling Text, etc. allow you to create various text clips and give you basic controls over fonts, positioning, size, color, etc. You can find the text generators in the Effects tab in the FCE Browser.
    LiveType is a separate and more sophisticated application that enables you to do all sorts of things with text (much more than can be done with the FCE text generators). The basic process is - create your title in a LiveType project. Save the LiveType project. Then in FCE, import the LiveType project; from there, you can treat it just the same as any other clip.

  • How do you animate a title placed over video clip

    I have been trying to animate a still title that I have placed over a video clip in expert view.  There is only one line.  I have followed the following which I think I got from the Adobe site: 
    Create a title with animated text
    You can easily apply a preset animation to any still title. Text animation presets quickly and easily
    animate the characters in your title so that they fade or pop characters into view, or fly in from the
    top or bottom of the screen. For example, using the Fade In By Characters preset instantly makes
    each separate character in your title fade into view until the title is complete.To preview an
    animation, position the pointer on the Animation tab in the Adjust panel.
    1. Do one of the following:
    In the Quick view timeline, select the superimposed clip. In the Monitor panel, click the clip,
    and then double-click the title text.
    In the Expert view timeline, double-click the title clip.
    The Adjust panel changes to display the text options.
    2. In the Adjust panel, select an animation preset under the Animation tab.
    3. Do one of the following to apply the preset to the title:
    Click Apply.
    Drag the preset to the Monitor window and drop it on top of the title text
    I have had no success no matter what I've tried.  I have a mac.  I would value any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. But let me clarifiy what I suspect Barb's issue is
    a. not selecting the Text in the Text section of the Titler before applying the animation in Animation section of the Titler.
    or
    b. what I did not yet write, not using Default text since Text Animation does not work with Default crawl or roll
    or
    c. trying to use more than one line of text without the use of special procedures.
    (I sort of put this thought aside when I replied since Barb wrote
    I have been trying to animate a still title that I have placed over a video clip in expert view.  There is only one line.
    I interpreted that as only one line of text was typed in the Titler, not that there were two lines of text types.
    But, the answer should be one of the 3. More details from Barb should help us to pin point the problem.
    I think it was JohnnyO who first pointed out (your forum at few years back) that you can indeed apply Text Animations to more than one line of text in Premiere Elements Titler, but with the use of special maneuvers. I wrote about this and did a detailed step by step and overview on the matter.

  • Pictures lose quality and audio in a video clip starts to clip after render

    I enjoy doing various random small projects with final cut studio, but there are a few problems I am still having in doing so. One is I record a local basketball league's games and make highlight videos out of them. Another is I like to convert dvds into files and make favorite quote montages or edit movies to have clean versions for the kids. I do not have professional equipment, yet. Final Cut was the first step I chose to take to upgrade. So I'm sure most of the stuff I use is not the greatest choice, but I'm just trying to get the best out of what I have. And when I have problems that I know are bad, I need to find out how to fix them.
    Problem with basketball highlights:
    I am not sure which is the best format to convert the video to in Final Cut that would make it work the best. Also a problem importing pictures.
    The camera I use to record is a Sony Handycam Exmor HDR-XR100. I am confused about importing in Final Cut so I usually import through imovie, which saves the files as .mov and then I go to the finder and put them in Final Cut. Clicking on more info shows me a 20 minute clip (of basketball in this case) is 14.29gb, quicktime movie, 1440 X 1080 dimensions, apple intermediate codec, integer (little endian), timecode, channel count: 2, total bit rate: 102, 385. When I record with the camera I usually turn off the button 'easy mode', which shows on the screen a better quality image going from HD to HDHQ and 5.1 surround sound. Sometimes the render times are ridiculously long for small files and the quality decreases or what not so I was just wondering if there is a good extension to use or format that would be better for use in final cut. Obviously some extensions don't work in final cut, but the most familiar I've used are .mov and .avi (though I don't use avi anymore because I've been told it's not the greatest idea)
    Another recent problem I'm having is with pictures in these highlight videos. When I record basketball, I like to record and show everyone their stats along with the video at the end of each game. So I create an excel document with all the teams and numbers and then save it as a .pdf file or picture to load into final cut and add to the video at the end of each game highlights. A similar thing happens though, when I load it in the browser from there the quality is great in the viewer. As soon as I load it in the timeline, the quality drops drastically and I can't even read the numbers in the viewer or canvas. When I took a final cut training class I remember hearing something about a button that makes final cut work faster by reducing the quality of the media it's displaying, but doesn't affect the output. I was wondering if maybe there is a simple button that I have set wrong and maybe that is the reason this is happening, or maybe I just am making it a bad choice of extension again I don't know.
    Problem with video files not recorded by me:
    Other times I don't record from my own camera say if I want to make a movie montage of all my favorite movie lines/quotes. I would like to edit movies as well to make them clean for my kids to watch. In any case, I convert the dvd to a file on my computer, usually multiple extensions and just use the one that works and also has the best quality, and then load it to final cut. (Is there a program in Final Cut Studio that would be better for this? Right now I use iSkysoft Media Converter to convert these files). As soon as I load it to the timeline and render it, the audio skips like a hiccup throughout the movie. This is when I notice the skipping is only really audible in the audio when music starts to play. I thought that was kind of weird. I can't pick it up as much when there is just dialogue, but when a song comes on or a scene begins with music it makes the entire audio sound bad.
    So maybe the problem isn't what extension the file is and I need to look at more details such as dimensions I'm guessing. If you have any examples I would appreciate it. I am sorry I am so difficult haha.
    Thanks again for all you're input and help. What goes around comes around and I really try to do the best I can in everything I undertake. I really appreciate it.

    I called it "making a montage of my favorite movie clips." It is what it is. Just how I said it. I do stand up impressions part time and sometimes, believe it or not i get recorded, or I record myself and "make a montage of all my favorite movie clips" or scenes from a movie or anything for that matter. So as illegal as that is I apologize that you want to monitor that stuff.
    So lets step out of our assumptive sheriff shoes and stop hazardly guessing at anything that you would disprove of. Everyone else has been very helpful. Besides, all these questions centralize around a basketball highlight video I am making for a coach, that I myself recorded and own the copyright to, to be specific and hopefully clarify your hunch.
    As a video editor you also often receive footage with numerous formats depending on who you're working with. Not everything is an illegal transaction that you assume it to be. Thanks

  • Title across all video clips

    I have 4 video clips that I would like to merge together in to one seamless video, add a song over the top, and add a title at the beginning to be present to the very end.
    I added the 4 clips and used the "none" or " | " transition between them making it seemingly seamless (heh).
    I was able to get the audio overlayed across them all.
    However, when I add the title, it only goes across the first of 4 clips.
    How can I get it to last the entire length of the video (all 4 clips)?
    Thanks! :-D

    Please perform the following computer maintenance...
    a. Adobe Folder. Look for pile ups in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and delete them. Look for pile ups in the Media Cache Folder (conformed audio cfa and pek files) and delete them.
    b. Edit Menu/Preferences/Media. In the Media Cache section, click on the Clean button to get rid of the conformed video (.mcdb) files.
    c. Run the ccleaner, regular cleaner and registry cleaner.

    As far as you can determine how do the 10 differ from the 46 videos. What is the hard drive save location for these 46 videos and is that drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? The properties of those videos (aside from the .mp4 file extension) would be included in your exchange of information, along with project preset.
    Since you are working with a 32 bit application in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 with all the limitations of a 32 bit system, I am thinking that the issue probably goes to level of computer resources and maintenance.
    Let us see if we can sort this out. There are other avenues to pursue but the above seems more indicated at this time.
    Thanks.

  • Easy way to do smooth motion pan and zoom on a video clip?

    Howdy..
    As a recent convert from Vegas and Premiere Pro, I'm very happy with FCP6, with 1 issue: Easy moves on video clips.
    It's very easy to setup a move with the motion filter, but the problem is that zooming with moving on the clip with 'ease-in' is problematic.
    The scaling and motion seem to accelerate at different rates, making it very tough to achieve a smooth pan and zoom at the same time (either one by itself is easy).
    I've tried using anchor points, but that's difficult when doing several moves on a clip.
    Basically, is there ANY way (either native or via a plug-in) to set up simple pan+zooms on a video clip, with smoothness turned on without having the 'slingshot' effect that you get? I know I can mess around with the acceleration points, but this is tough to do with 100 of clips that need adjusting.
    I'd appreciate any help you can offer..
    Thanks...
    Best,
    Ben

    Howdy...
    Usually I set easy-in/out on the canvas window (for center) and then 'smooth' on the keyframes (for scale) in the motion window.
    Can you actually set smoothing for center in the viewer? I think you can only set easy-in/out for center in the canvas. (could be wrong on this one).
    I wish it worked like in Motion. Much easier and more intuitive, but one shouldn't have to jump to a different app just to do a simple pan and zoom...
    Any other ideas?
    -Ben

  • Extend a video clip's audio over the next clip

    I cannot get it to work. When I put the pointer over the blue audio track, it turns into a hand. When I try to drag the audio track over the next clip, the whole clip (video and audio) moves. The result is the end or beginning of the clip is changed. Maybe, I am doing something wrong?
    Thanks, Steve...

    I would use the CUTAWAY function for this.
    First, go into IMOVIE/PREFERENCES and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Put the full video clip (with the audio you need) in your project.
    Drag the second clip in and drop it on the frame of video where you want it to start.
    When a popup menu appears, choose CUTAWAY.

  • While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

    Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

    OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
    I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
    I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

  • Copy and Share Part of Video Clip

    I have captured family VCR clips to digital files (.avi), imported them to Premiere Elements 9, and created DVD movies. I would like to copy a few seconds of a clip(s), and share them as mobile phone video messages and email attachments. I would like to do this as easily as possible, without altering the existing project files. Can I simply copy and paste a small section of the timeline? The help file only talks of splitting clips, which seems to be a meat cleaver approach. Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum.
    The easiest way to Export/Share parts of a Timeline, is through the use of the WAB (Work Area Bar). Most Export/Share formats support doing so with just the Work Area, but perhaps not 100%. Check that out for the Share>Mobile Devices settings.
    Here is a look at the WAB:

  • Mute and unmute audio in video clips

    Making an hour long movie. I only want the original movie sound on 2 or 3 clips - the rest my own music. In the past I did it by dragging the movie sound (in Box A) to bottom to mute it then raising it where I wanted it to be heard. However, this would be a royal pain in this case. Is there a way to uncheck the original movie sound where I want my own music, then check it where I want to hear it? I can't seem to do so without making it all heard or none. Can anyone help with a quick way of doing this? Thanks,
    Max

    Hi Max:
    You can extract all of the original audio. It will show up on the second line of the timeline.
    Click on one of the extracted audio clips and Edit >'select All". Use the volume slider to mute all of the clips to "0".
    If they aren't already, you will need to split the audio where you want to hear it and go back to the volume slider and increase the volume there.
    Man, I'm not a very good teacher-hope you understood that one!

  • Suddenly have red, green and blue splotches on video clips

    It looks like something to do with exposure but I don't know how it appeared, why it appeared, not how to get rid of it. It's driving me crazy, how do I turn it off?  It's hard to see but the splotches are a red one on the pan on the right top, and a green one on the woman's armpits and under her collar. There are more but that's an example.

    Hi, I had a similar problem with clips that were ok in FC PRO but had colour artefacts in FCP X. Drove me to distraction.
    I then discovered that by moving the FCP X window to another monitor (I have 3 monitors) the colour artefacts disappeared.
    My main monitor is a 24"' IPS, calibrated FOR PRINT with ColourMonkey hardware and software, and the other 2 are TN monitors.
    Anyhow, since my clips appeared ok on the 2 TN monitors i chose a different colour profile for the main (IPS) monitor and, voila...problem solved!
    I am certainly no expert in things FCP so i may be wrong, but it could be worth a try?

  • "Key and coin SCRATCH test" video clip!!!

    For anyone wondering or worried about your iPod scratching, I made a video that shows off the strength of the Invisible Shield protective film that I bought for my 60GB 5G iPod.
    The video contains close ups, key scratching, and a ziploc bag full of keys and coins to "simulate" an iPod inside your pocket. In the end, my iPod remained scratch-free.
    Here's the video:

    Don't sue Apple if you want a scratch-free iPod... just buy a good case
    So what do you think?

    Hi J. Charles Holt1,
    Nope, the key didn't leave any scratches. It was only the light reflecting on the skin oil from my hand that the key wiped off the iPod. I noticed the same thing after the ziploc test and used my thumb to wipe off the oil.
    Here's some close-up pictures of my iPod that I just took:

  • How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

    I'm in iMovie 11.  My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C.  I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen.  I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio.  I click on video C and open the precision editor.  From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle.  The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening.  Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
    When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.
