Modify Make Sequence Clips independent - But the can't be renamed independe

I'm on Tom's book page 89 (FCE workshop)
I've taken a full Clip or main clip (like Temple) and dropped it in the timeline.
Cut it up with the razor blade and then Modify>Make Sequence Clips independent.
Then I dragged clips to new bin and tried to rename one, but all clips get renamed.
I'm confused, I thought they were independent.
Am I misreading this or doing something wrong?
Thanks for an assist.

I see what I did, the book didn't say to 'Select' the clips first. They must be selected before one chooses Modify>Make Sequence Clips Independent.

  • Can't make sequence clips independent

    I've put a clip onto the timeline and cut using a razor. When I try "Modify > Make Sequence Clips Independent" nothing happens.
    I notice the duration of Sequence 1 in the browser is 00:00:00;00 but the duration of my clip is 00:01:39;24. Would that be a clue? Shouldn't they, at this time, be the same? I'm a total newbie, so I'm clueless.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
    FYI, I'm going through Tom Wolsky's book, "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" (page 67 step 16) if you own that and using FCE 3.

    It turns out I had two projects open and the Clip was on the timeline of the other project.

  • I have a line (stroke, no fill) and an eps graphic. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the single line art but all it does is cut the eps graphic instead of making a mask?

    I have an eps graphic and a single line drawing 2 pt wt. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the line drawing. When I tried it all that happened was the eps graphic was cut in half. I did the exact steps from AdobeTV except the line drawing [pink camera.ai*@1200% (CMYK/Outline)] is an ai pen line drawing instead of a vector graphic and the other is [vector flower lillies.eps @ 100% (RGB/Preview)]. If you need more info on the graphics please tell me where to find it and I will send it.
    This is all because the eps graphic has a white background. I have tried everything I know including opening it in Photoshop and deleting the background and it always pastes with a white background. My thought was if I can't change the background then maybe I can make a clipping mask of the pink camera and just paste it in front.
    Please help this has been a thorn in my side for too long...

    please post a screen shot of the graphic(s) as it's hard to understand exactly what you are asking
    IF these are 'vector' graphics there should be no need for a clipping mask--also--if the .eps files are small (MB or KB) try posting one of those

  • I went from an I-Phone 3GS to I-Phone 5, I can make phone calls out but I can't access the internet when I am away from my WI-FI connection... any ideas?

    but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
    What does "it is continued when off" mean?
    And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

  • A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

  • How do I make a clip "independant" in FCP 7.0.3?

    I have two imported DV clips. 
    - One is 45 minutes long
    - One is about 15 minutes long
    I want to break these two captured files up into "chunks" so I can edit them in the timeline without even referencing the original DV clips.
    Reason: editing nightmare I am trying to resolve.
    - I know how to use "mark dv start/stop" in each DV clip to segment my DV clips into my original "shots" on DV tape.
    - I know how to make "subclips" from the 'segments".
    What I don't know how to do is to make these new clips TOTALLY independant of the source footage because my edits are getting completely messed up.  Someone suggested I make the new segment clips "independant" clips, but I can't seem to find that option anywhere.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Thank you ALL!
    These are some of the best answer I have got so far, but let me run a few things by you and see what you think...
    My original, orignal question was something like "How do I import and break up my video so I can edit my shots on the timeline?"
    My real goal, as you might guess, is to make FCP do the grunt work so I can get my "shots" from the DV camera into the timeline so I can cut them, move them around, synch them to audio etc.  That's why FCP is called a non-linear editor.  Right?
    I really don't want to have to export and then reimport a bunch of video clips because that's a lot of work for ME.  I know that you can do this, and I know how to do it, but come on!  I want to make FCP do that work, and theorietically it should be able to do this.
    From digging around on the internet, and from asking multiple questions on this forum, here is the workflow I have peiced together.  (I am not sure if it will work yet because I still have to test it...)
    I think the complete answer is:
    1) Capture video to a project (the whole tape)
    2) Select the master clip (the whole tape) in the browser and choose "Mark/ DV Start/Stop" (just like you said)
    3) Select the resulting video "segments" in the browser and choose "Make Clip" from the modify menu (this converts the original captured segments into subclips)
    4) Select the resulting video subclips and drag them to the timeline for editing (I am not sure if I also need to "Remove Clip Limitations" from the subclips as well, but at least I know where to look if my 5 steps don't work)
    5) Right click on the video subclips in the timeline and choose "make independant clip"
    The bottom line is that I am trying to get FCP to do the grunt work of keeping track of my video ins/outs, segments, subclips and independant clips without me having to manage 100 files on my hard drive in the project folder!  The whole point of NLE is to let the computer figure out how to arrange and render all of your stuff based on information that is stored in the FCP file.
    Thoughts?

  • IPhone 4: I can her the caller on speakerphone but the can't hear me

    I recently bought a used unlocked iphone 4: 7.1.2 iOS to use as a second phone when traveling.
    During a call on speak phone, I can hear the caller loud and clear, but they can't hear me.
    I have looked on Apple support, I have found other Apple members who have the same problem say the issue is the speaker phone microphone problem, but still have not found a solution to the problem.
    Please looking for suggestions or any help!

    Hi kinger1982,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like people are not able to hear you on a call. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Fix common issues
    Follow these steps, testing after each with Voice Memos.
    Unplug anything plugged into the headset jack.
    If you're on a call and holding your phone next to your ear, speak into the microphone and make sure you don't block it with your fingers or shoulder.
    If you're using a screen protector or case that covers the microphone, remove it. Clear any debris from the microphones.
    Restart your device.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    If you've tried these steps and people still can't hear you well on calls, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • NOT a website issue; but the canned choices are bad. Why must the Extensions window launch with FF every time??

    This canned menu is as bad as the cable company's. I do NOT want to start in safe/without extensions; but I am tired of having the Extensions box pop up on every browser start. can this be stopped?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://NA

    This issue can happen if there is a problem with the file extensions.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
    Norton software has been reported to cause problems with the extensions registry file extensions.rdf in the profile folder with the result that all extensions are enabled with every start of Firefox and incompatible extensions will need a manual compatibility check in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" (Find Updates) in such cases.

  • I have cropped a clip and now want to take other clips from the remaining footage.  But the discarded footage which contains other desirable clips is not in Trash.  So, where did it go so I can access it?

    I have cropped a clip and now want to take other footage from the discarded remains of the clip.  But the discarded footage is not in my iMovie trash.  Where did it go?  And how do I rescue it so I can edit the other short clips from it that I need?

    I don't know how it did it (because I cannot duplicate the results) but one time the finder found a folder on my main hard drive called/Volumes Under that folder are folders called the names of previous external hard drives with numbers following them. /Volumes does not appear on my Mac hard drive. Obviously it is hidden somewhere. But it has content. Most of the time, the file names in that content don't show up in a search, but obviously I have found the content and deleted one huge folder of stuff it has saved. When I found the folder, I immediately opened it, where I found this stuff. But unfortunately when it opened in the search window I went directly to the "drive" folder and had no back arrow, so I couldn't get back to the search that found the content and the mystery /Volumes folder. The finder information window does show /Volumes directly off of the main drive (its not in any other folder). Anybody know where this stuff is hidden or how to get to it.

  • Can't print-but MacBook can see the printer

    My Macbook Air can no longer "reach" the printer (a Samsung).  I'm linked to an iMac.  The Macbook see's a Samsung printer.  When I go to PRINT, the printer actually makes a chirp.  But the MacBook shows an error  "Printing Stopped at Server".  Nothing ever prints.  Yet, I can print directly from the iMac.
    Both systems are Mountain Lion
    Printer is USB wired to iMac
    MacBook Air can share screens (sharing with printing and screen sharing is checked in both machines).

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

  • When making a phone I can hear the other caller but they can't hear me

    No one can hear me when i make I phone call but I can hear them ??? I've tried the voice memo and that seems to work fine !!! Has Any one got any ideas that could help me please ???

    you need to isolate wetyher or not its a hardware issue.
    make a voice memo. (if there is sound then, your bottom mic is fine.)
    Make a video (if there is sound then your speaker mic is fine.)
    if those dont work restore to factory settings and setu p as new, if the issue persists, setup replacement
    if you have sound, try resetting your network settings. (settings general>reset>reset network setting THIS WILL DELETE ANY SAVED WIFI PASSWORDS.)
