Moving a range of clips together

I thought I could select a set of contiguous clips with the range tool and then use Select to move them as a bloc, but that isn't happening. The moment I switch to Select and click back on the group, the clip I clicked on is isolated making it impossible to move the group. A solution?

That does it, all right. It's the way files are grouped in Windows Explorer. The Selecting seems to require beginning just outside and above one end or the other of the set, at which point the net can be dragged over the whole set. Many thanks.

Linking two video clips together

I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
Is there a way of doing that?
The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".

You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

I'm intrigued by this!
Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

Can't move set of clips together in timeline

Hi there,
I wish to move around a set of several clips together by selecting all of them and draging.
Each time I proceed, the clips are highlighted, but then when I want to move all of them, by moving the pointer, only one remains highlighted and moves.
I must have changed a setting but I can't figure which one...
Could someone please help ?
Many thanks
Ivan

A transition is the reveal, over time, of one picture by removing the other. So yes, some effect that you would have included.
If, for example, you have a dissolve between a shot you want to leave in place and a shot you want to move, you won't be able to without removing the dissolve first.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

Question about putting video clips together

I am trying to put clips together in Premier Elements 12 using Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting an error message: "This thype of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
I admit that the clips are mostly jpeg and Flip video. I have installed the Flipshare software on the computer. What can I do to put these clips together? I saw an answer that mentioned exporting the BBB.prel Timeline to an appropriate file saved to the computer hard drive and then import that file into AAA.prel, using AAA.prel's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets from where you drag the import to the Expert workspace Timeline to join the AAA.prel content already there.
But I don't know how to export, and what is an "appropriate file"?
Thanks.

We need more information in order to resolve your issue.
Are you saying that you cannot import even .jpeg photos into your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project...and your Flip video as well?
a. Were these jpeg processed in Photoshop? Do you know if they have the CMYK color profile? What are their pixel dimensions (width and height in pixels)?
b. What is the brand/model/settings of the camera producing the Flip video?
With the above information we can get at the media and program compatibility issue(s) that might be triggering the message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
You say that you have installed "Flipshare software" to your computer. What do you intend to do with it? If you are thinking to use it to convert the problem files into another format that Premiere Elements will accept, we still need to know the properties of what you are working with and set Premiere Elements accordingly.
The concept of using content from one Premiere Elements project file into another Premiere Elements project file does not apply to the situation that you describe for your issue.
You need to describe what you have for media and then we can proceed from there.
The brand/model/settings for the camera that produced the Flip video is a good start.
MediaInfo and gspot are programs to get at the properties of your video. But the brand/model/settings information may be all that we need.

Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

I want to join 3GPP clips together, will Quicktime Pro do that?

I have the Droid and I took some amazing videos at a concert. They are in great quality and I would like to join the clips together to make one longer video. I tried using iMovie, but it doesn't support 3GPP format. I tried converting the files to a format supported by iMovie, but the quality was extremely diminished. Now, I'm looking for software that supports 3GPP files and will let me join clips together. Does Quicktime Pro do this?

Try just changing files extensions to .mov, then edit in iMovie or Quicktime.

Aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it. Kind if like we do with video?

You could put the two clips on two different tracks with a slide overlap and fade the first clip out out and the second clip in.
Or trim both clips in a way, that the first clip ens with silence and the second clip starts with silence.

Mashing small clips together to make one large one!?

i figured ou thow to do this once, but now i cant remember.
i need to mesh a bunch of small clips together to make a large one so i can do a longer transition.

.. if You had some short clips and applyed a text on them.
And the text just using some spaces (no letters) then it would merge the
clips together...
never tried (.. never needed.. ), but a clever one!!
here's for you:

I downloaded movies from my ipad to my mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together and when I go to events or albums where these are located, they aren't there. Help!

I downloaded movies from my ipad2 to my Mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together but when I go to find the movies in events or albums where they are stored, they are not there. So, they show up in iphoto, but not I movie. I tried exporting them to desktop then to imovie, that didn't work either. Please help! How do I get my movie clips from my ipad2 to show up in imovie when creating?

They are not in the "events library" of imovie.

Merge clips together

I edited a home movie and now it's in pieces in my project folder. How do I merge some of the clips together?
Also, how do I remove the audio so I can put music to it?
Thanks!

Movie maker does not put the clips together and no audio HELP PLEASE!

What is the deal with the movie maker feature I click on all the clips I want for the movie , then click the Create movie feature and it only blends a small portion of the clips together , and there is no audio at all what gives? Im doing what it says to do.. The software for the vado movie making and editing is to vague..

I Hightlight all the movie you want to combine then click create moi've, I think you must then re-highlight them then click preview. But you might want to go to settings and move the slider all the way to the right so you only hear the audio from your videos.

Shifting individual clips together in a track

When I edit an audio track, it creates individual clips. How does one move all these clips *together* (back or forward). As it is, I'm having to shift each on individually after each cut.

To select a group of clips/audio regions you can draw a selection rectangle around them:
click onto an empty space i the timeline directly below the first clip and then drag the mouse over all regions you want to select. You may need to create an empty track below the one you are working with to create space below the clips if tthe track is not the last one.

String clips together from rtsp

Hi
I'm trying to find the best way of stringing clips together for example a.mov, b.mov and c.mov.
At the moment they are all playable over rtsp seperately.
I want users to be able to watch them back-to-back. I know I can do this with smil scripts using <seq> but I don't like that there are no time-controls to skip forward or backwards, etc.
How do I create a reference file to point to rtsp://.../a.mov, b.mov and c.mov??
Is that the best way to go?

okay...getting there.
I figured out some more info on smil that you can use:
time-slider="true"
to add the scrubber but as the media is loaded sequentially the scrubber can jump around and move at different speeds as the "presentation" grows in size...but it did seem to work ok.
I'm still very keen to figure out how you create a reference file for multiple movs running off of rtsp. Any ideas?
