Move multiple clips as a group.

When needing to apply the same Position animations to multiple clips, is there a way to "link" or "group" them together and just apply the animation settings to the group only?
I need the clips to remain separate, able to have their own effects, etc, while all moving in synch with each other.

I usually set the position/scale etc on 1 clip then select 'Motion' in Effects Controls panel and copy it (ctrl+c or right click and pick copy), then just select the clips in the timeline you want to apply the animations to and paste them (ctrl+v or mac equiv). It of course shows nothing in the effects control panel when you select multiple clips but if you now select them individually you'll see they have the motion keyframes applied. Not sure if there's a better way?

How to move multiple clips with transitions?

Im still transitioning from FCP7 to FCP 10.1.2 and can't believe I have missed the lesson that explains how to move multiple clips with transitions.
Up till now I have tried several work arounds including deleting all the transitions then using the (P) Position tool to move the clips from the primary track to some track above it then re adding all the transitions. This is a function I do on a daily basis. Am I missing something? Please help!
Thank you

With some further investigation, the transitions have nothing to do with my problem. In my case there was a tiny “Black gap slug” within the group that was preventing me from being able set it on top of another group of clips or gap someplace. But even with the gap removed… I can move the clips on top of another group but the transitions stay behind on the primary (Magnetic)
In the screen shot you can see what happens when I move a group out of the primary (magnetic) timeline onto a gap. All the transitions get left behind.
Ive notices that Cutting and pasting will only paste the sequence some other place on the primary (magnetic) timeline for me.
An example of why I would want to put a cropped/ resized group on top of another group is to do picture in picture effects or if I wanted to create a background behind a set of adjusted clips.

How do I move multiple clips at once in the project rather than one a time?

I know how to cut and then paste to move one clip within the project to a new place within the project, but how do I move a group all at once rather than one at a time?

This did not help and that did not work. I had already tried that Holding down either the command key does "highlight" multiple items but then you cannot move those items to a new spot.

How do you select/move multiple clips from one timeline to another?

Has to do with combining multiple edls from Avid - required due to an issue with duplicate reel names in the original Arri footage. I can move them one at a time, but it is very tedious. Is there a way to select multiple clips and move them together?

Actually discovered the magic of the shift key.
IRCP Beauty doesn't recognize multiple timelines in a session, so first you have to at least get the footage on multiple tracks in the same timeline. Shift + drag on the track will allow you to move it to another timeline. Also Shift + drag on the center of the first clip in a sequence will slide the entire sequence down - which is how timelines end up getthing offset all the time. Also, if there are multiple tracks in a timeline and some are locked and some aren't, Shift + drag on a clip will slide ALL UNLOCKED tracks in the timeline.
Finally, Shift + click on either in or out marker moves both points up or down the timeline.

Move multiple clips at once

I often have to move multiple layers of clips or still images and keep their position relative to each other. In AE and in PS I can select multiple layers and drag their position around freely, but in Premiere Pro, I can only drag one layer at a time. Bouncing to AE is not a solution for me because everything I work with needs to be timed with multiple layers of audio at all times. Nesting is not a solution for me because I need to be able to adjust each layer independently as well. This is a feature I would use (and did use in FCP) dozens of times every day! I really need this. Any chance it's coming in a future update?

Hi Chris,
Hi Kevin, I resurrected this old thread today so I'm not sure if the original poster is still around but thanks for the replies.
Sure, no problem.
The After Effects work around is quite long winded for what seems like a very simple task, but I do appreciate your point about how FCP was designed differently from the beginning.
Indeed, it really seems that way from the outset, but AE launches really fast these days. You can set up these kinds of comps very quickly and be back in Premiere Pro in no time. Remember how Motion and FCP used to work together? I think of it in the same way.
Sure it would be better if Premiere Pro had all the goodies FCP had (like this feature), but it's a totally different application and so you may have to adjust your expectations.
I'm sure it's not the case of just changing a couple of lines of code in Premiere, unfortunately! Hopefully the "multiple clip parameter editing" and "horizontal/vertical lock" features can be implemented in the future.
That's often the case, but the question is then "when would we have the time to write and test that code when there are 800 priorities ahead of it?" The key is feature requests. The more we get for any one feature, the faster it rises to the top of the list of priorities.
If anyone else would like these please submit feature requests! http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
You have the right idea. Thanks!

Moving multiple clips simultaneously on timeline

Hi!
Is it possible to move multiple clips - lying side by side - simultaneously to a new location on timeline. I know how to move one clip at a time.
Regards.

Drag a lasso around all the clips you want, that will highlight them all. Then move to where you want.
Shane

Moving multiple clips simultaneously..?

How do you move multiple clips at the same time? I don't mean on the timeline, but in the viewer? ie, firstly selecting multiple clips stacked vertically in the timeline then moving their position or scale in the viewer? How can you do this to all the clips you've selected simultaneously?

Let Adobe know.

How to move multiple subtitle clips?

Hi!
I want to move multiple subtitle clips in the timeline. How can i do that? I want to select multiple subtitles and then drag them to left about 2 minutes. Just click+drag doesn't work. I didn't find help in the manual also...
Waiting for the small tip.
Timo

Hi Timo
As you have discovered you can't drag all the subs in the timeline - you can only drag one at a time... which is why you will find most people recommend creating your subtitles outside of DVD-SP and then importing them. If you have to adjust them you can then go back to this file created outside and adjust the in outs of the timecode.
One way you could save the situation (I''m assuming you made the subs in DVD-SP) is to export an item description of the track then use a little utility called Subtitler
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
This can extract those subtitles back out of the item description and can (I believe) adjust the timings as well and create a DVD-SP friendly STL file which you can re-import into SP... then if any others need tweaking you can go back to that external file adjust, re-import...
I've only ever tested it to see if it coul indeed extract a sub from an item description so can'tr vouch for it's other abilities - we normally use Lemony or Subtitle Workshop on a PC to adjust subs
Hope that's some help

Extracting multiple clips from large .mov file

Hi
For some reason this summer our camcorder has amalgamated all our clips in to one large 6Gb .mov file called "Private.mov". I can't import the separate clips into iMovie straight from the SD card as previously.
I can open the file in Quicktime and open each clip separately and then export it to a separate file and then import into iMovie. This works but as there are over 300 clips will take for ever. I can open multiple clips but can't do more than 10 at a time or it gets confusing on the screen as to what has been saved etc
Is there anyway of automating this and doing this in one batch or
What has gone wrong with the camera/the file this time?
Thanks for your help
Sarah

why dont you import the file direct into iMove which will create individual clips from the original file

Selecting multiple clips in Imovie for Iphone for plus Ipad 2?

hi guys first post on these forums i hope you can help.
I recently downloaded imovie from the app store for my iphone 4 and so far have been really impressed with it. However there is one problem i'm having. I would like to select multiple clips from my camera roll without having to keep going back into the media section and having to scroll down to find the clips for everyone i want to add. Is there a way of selecting multiple clips? any help appreciated!

There is a way to load multiple video clips at once on iMovie's timeline on the iPad.
I have been able to load multiple video clips into my iPad's iMovie's timeline at the same time, but this process requires the combined use of iMovie and iPhoto and won't work if you have iOS 8 running on your iPad.
This is the way I do it. You create an iMovie project (Movie) on your iPad. iMovie will show the video clips that you can load to the timeline, but, as you have probably already found out, you can't load more than one clip at a time in iMovie's timeline. My videos have sometimes 100-200 clips, so loading them into the timeline one-by-one is a very long and tedious process. I do this instead:
(1) I go to iMovie and load the first clip on the timeline using iMovie. (This needs to be done to avoid iPhoto importing its background music to your video clips in iMovie.)
(2) Then I get out of iMovie and go into iPhoto. iPhoto shows you all the photos, but more importantly also all the videos in your Camera Roll.
(3) In iPhoto, I select the next video in the Camera Roll (the one right after the clip that I already placed on iMovie's timeline).
(4) Next, I hit the icon at the top of iPhoto that takes you to the "Share" section (the icon is a square box with an arrow pointing to the top). This will open a dialogue box that has a section there for "Apps" and you will see the iMovie icon.
(5) Select the iMovie icon, it will open a dialoge box that reads at the bottom: "Choose Photos...".
(6) Select "Choose Photos..."
(7) Now you can select up to 15 video clips in iPhoto to load into iMovie's timeline. You select each video by tapping it, it becomes encased in a white square and will show a check mark.
(8) After selecting up to 15 video clips, hit "Next" in the top right corner, you will be taken to iMovie.
(9) In iMovie, you will be asked to select the project into which the clips are to be placed. Select the project and the clips will all be loaded at once into iMovie's timeline.
Repeat the process again each time to load more clips; the process will place each new group of clips on iMovie's timeline right after the previously loaded clips. When you return to iPhoto, the clips that appear encased with a heavy white border are the ones that have already been placed in the timeline for iMovie; select the next uncased clip and 14 more and load them into iMovie in the same way as described before.
One word of caution: This process only works using iMovie and iPhoto together. iPhoto does not work with iOS 8! (Thank you, Apple!) That's why I don't have iOS 8 on my iPad, so, the process works fine. I hope this helps.

Moving multiple clips together on the timeline

I have multiple clips on a time line and need to move them together either right or left to accomodate new additions.
Thank you for any help and God Bless,
Mark A. Sam

There are a number of ways of "selecting" multiple clips (including a Tool)
Lasso them as a group
Shift-Select them individualy to create a group selection
Ctrl-A select all of them ( targeted tracks)
Track Tool
and Keyboard short cuts too...
Select ....and move , nudge, cut, copy, paste, drag......

Unwanted multiple clipping paths created

In Illustrator CS4, Mac OS 10.5.8 - I open a document: any color mode. I place a tif image and then apply a clipping mask to crop the image. When I reopen the document, multiple clipping masks are now added around the image (at the edge of the entire placed image.) How do I stop this?

Screen Shot 1 of 3: Here is a placed image, with one clipping path. I've saved it and then reopened the file later. You can see the blue rules showing the edge of the actual image and the path of the original clipping mask. It's small but the document info palette says "Clipping Masks: 4".
Screen Shot 2 of 3: I have released the clipping mask and you can see the paths of the other mysteriously "added" clipping masks. They are grouped with the image. After ungrouping I can move the image and the added clipping masks are left in place.
Screen Shot 3 of 3: I've now moved the image again and there seems to be another "mask" or path really close to the image edges. I can delete the path and the image still remains. So it is not the edge of the image I am seeing.

HT201079 Multiple adults in family group causing payment mayhem!

Hi,
Is there any way that we can set our family sharing up so that the adults in the group can pay for their own purchases? Currently it seems to only allow the organiser to pay for things, which is silly when most of the members of my family are grown up and have their own money. Yet it also seems silly to dissolve the family group and buy the same movies multiple times when we all live under the same roof. Please help!

I am in a family sharing group through iTunes store and app store. I do not want to charge the shared payment method, but instead pay with my own payment method. Am I able to do so? If so, How?
McDonald,
Yes. If you are not the Family Organizer, just put some credit on your own account by redeeming a gift card. Then purchases made by you will be charged against your credit rather than to the Organizer's credit card.

Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

Hello fellow editors!
I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.
I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

Adobe Premiere CC Crashes When Selecting Multiple Clips

This project was already derailed by multicam, now that I've got my assembly edit ready to go, I've discovered a new show-stopper: Premiere Pro CC crashes when I select multiple clips on the timeline. I can't select more than 3 clips at a time, or the entire program comes crashing to it's knees. Anyone else experiencing something like this? Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?
Here's a video of the experience:
http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
Any word on an update?
ASUS G75VX
Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
GTX 670MX, 3GB GDDR5
16GB RAM

Progress. I've been able to isolate the problem. On my timeline I have some "regular" clips and some "merged" clips. Regular clips are from either source: a Canon 7D (MP4 / MOV) or a Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD). The Merged clips are only from the Canon 7D only (for video) and an audio recorder (MP3 at 320kbps). The 7D footage is 1080/24p. The VIXIA also shoots in 24p.
Since "Merge Clips" sync on audio is not working for me, I've employed my former CS6 workflow:
1. Sync all of the video and audio clips through PluralEyes 3 resulting in a preliminary sequence, "Clips_to_be_merged_sequence".
2. I work my way through each of the clips, adjusting the audio track(s) for variances in drift between the on camera sound and the audio recorder. I do this enabling "Audio Time Units", rather than video frames, so I can get extremely acurate.
3. When I have a timeline full of nicely syncronized audio/video pairs, I merge clips, one painstaking clip at a time (of course I set up a keyboard shortcut for this). For the merge, I "sync on In points".
4. The merged clip is added to my project panel.
5. Now, when it comes time to choose my sound bite selects, I load the merged clip into the Source panel and mark my Ins and Outs.
6. Time to create a subclip, of course with the new SOFT handles. (I'VE BEEN WANTING SOFT HANDLES FOR A LONG TIME!!!)
7. The subclip appears to be properly created and placed into the Project panel. It even shows the correct duration (i.e. 14 seconds)
8. When I drag that subclip onto the timeline it drags the entire length of the parent clip, without in or out points (not just the 14 second subclip).
9. I undo and decide to go back through the original clips again; mark ins and outs and simply drop to the timeline (either Insert or Overwrite).
So in the end, I'm using sections of the Merged clip, but I'm not using Subclips of the Merged clips (because that doesn't work).
Now, what's happening, though I didn't know it when I recorded the video above, is that Premiere is crashing any time I select both "regular" footage and "merged" footage.
So, two bugs here:
1. Can't use Subclips that are derived from Merged clips in ANY timeline. Once dragged to the timeline it expands to the full duration of the original clip.
2. Can't select both "regular" and "merged" clips at the same time on the timeline.
JStrawn (staff) was kind enough to offer to take a look at some small sample files. But my interview clips are very long, and I'm concerned that if I export them, to make them shorter, they may not actually exibit the problems I'm having on the original clips.
Anyone else using this type of "Merge Clip" workflow that could reproduce either the subclip-from-merged-clip bug or the mixed-selection crash given the steps above?
