MOVING CLIPS AND PLAYBACK

I MOVED A FEW CLIPS TO THE BEGINNING OF MY MOVIE WHICH THEN TELLS ME TRANSITIONS WILL BE DELETED OR CHANGED DUE TO THIS-SOMETIMES THE CLIP THEN IS SHOWING UP TWICE OR DURING PLAYBACK A CLIP PLAYS AND THEN WHEN IT SHOULD TRANSITION TO THE NEXT CLIP IM SEEING A FRAGMENT OF THE PREVIOUS CLIP. THESE EXTRA CLIPS ARE NOT ON THE TIMELINE AND I HAVE SPENT OVER 15 HOURS ON THIS PROJECT, DO I NEED TO START OVER? HELP

Hi tara,
welcome to this forum
obviously, your shift-key is broken... you should fix that..... CAPITAL letters means YELLLING!!...
you have clip#1 and clip#2; you add a dissolve between the two; you want to rearrange order, drag #2 before #1... what happens? you get an alert, that the transition will get lost - sure, behind #1 now is nothing, where should the disolve go to...? imagine the disolve as clip#1.5...- that has to be delated, to get the new order #2#1... right?
or, you get clip#2, clip#1, and finally some frames of your transition... showing a few frames of #2...(that WAS the disolve)...
make some sense?
making video needs discipline int the meaning: BEFORE starting a project, think about the final product (you are allowed to make notes on a piece of paper...) . switch to "slides view" and arrange your clip; when you're happy with order, THEN add effect, transitions etc......
have a look her to get some inspiration... or get a good book about iMovie......

Moving clips and closing gap across all tracks - premiere4

HI, I have multiple clips spread across 3 tracks. There are gaps between clips that I want to make shorter - but still leaving black or empty sections. I cannot find a way to move a clip to the left so that all clips on all lanes to the right (ie afterwards) move along with it whilst keeping their relative postions vertically.
I can see how to do this by selecting everything to the right but this would be incredibly tedious. I want to be able to, say, grab a clip on track 3 at 45secs, drag it to 43 secs and all the clips on tracks 1 and 2 and 3 etc also move 2 secs to the left.
Any hints?
thanks, Greg

I have run some tests and still not getting the behaviour I want.
I started a new project and inserted three clips - one clip to each of video tracks 1, 2 and 3. I ctrl+drag the video 3 clip to the left and the other two clips (tracks 1 and 2) move but do not keep their positions relative to the track 3 clip. Instead they advance just by the length of the moved clip. This means that the length of any gaps between clips is not preserved.
The outcome can be that clips that were not overlapping are now overlapping, or clips that had a small gap between them now have a large gap.
I would really like to be able to keep the relative position of the clips when I move a single clip along the timeline.
thanks, Greg

Moving Clips - and how not to lose the audio? Help needed!

Hi,
I have used Premiere Pro 6.0 quite extensively over the years and have recently moved to Premiere Pro CS5.
With Premiere Pro 6.0 I could move/drag clips on the time-line and their linked audio would move with them. If I moved the video clip to another video track, say, above an existing clip, the audio would also move to a free audio track and not automically write over any existing audio. This would allow me to easily reorder clips on the timeline by simply moving them around and using other video tracks as temporary storage locations... and not lose or write over any other existing audio.
However in Premiere Pro CS5 if I do the same thing, the video will move to the other video track I move it to, but the audio will stay in the say audio track and will write-over any existing audio when the mouse button is released. The only way around this I can find in the manual is to: (1) drag the video to the other video track, and (2) press and hold the <SHIFT> key, whilst, (3) draging the linked audio to another audio track to avoid existing audio from being over-written.
My question: Is there a configuation I can set in CS5 to allow moving/draging of clips to work like in Premiere Pro 6.0? I have already messed up multiple times in CS5 by inadvertently over-writing existing audio.
Your expert advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Harm,
Your reply is not helpful. Just so you know, I have read through the manual extensively and could not find an answer for my question. AND that's why I brought my question here.
Perhaps I missed something in the manual. Would you mind re-reading my question and helping me if it is so easy?!
This has been frustrating for me for the last three months and I thought I would come to this forum for some expert advice. So far I have been told that CS5 is designed to be like this (does not answer my question), and now you tell me to look up the manual (again does not answer my question).
I'm amazed by responses that miss the question entirely and give helpful suggestions like that!

Moving clip and all other clips

I need to extend the duration that opening titles appear on screen. I drag them out, however, now they overlap onto the first video that follows the credits. How do you extend the duration of the credits and also move all of the following videos clips to the right in the Project?
Thanks!

I'm having the same trouble however I'm trying to do it from Leopard client to Server. This seems to be more difficult. In the past when I've moved from one mac to another, I simply copy my userfolder/Library over to the new machine and it all comes over nicely.
This does not happen on a Server. If anybody else can make any suggestions. I've got tons of saved mail on my old mac that I need to keep.

I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and timeline in FCP7. How do I fix?

I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and the timeline in FCP7. Footage isn't corrupt. Apple techs said its not hardware after their tests at the Apple store. I did a full reinstall of FCS. There's 4GB of RAM free at all times during playback. The problem is still there... How do I fix this?
Strobing:
By strobing, I mean there's only about 1 ever 10 frames playing back for me. Everything is rendered and the comp settings match the clip settings. It's not constant though, but the strobing is triggered at certain points on the timeline and effect a few clips after that (10 seconds or so at a time), and then when the next clip is displayed on the timeline the strobbing stopps and is reset back to normal playback... until another random clip is encountered by the playback head to which then the process repeats. Also, when strobbing is happening and I move the playhead back a few seconds, or pause & play, or even forward a little on the same strobbing clip (basically when i inturrupt the playback process) the strobbing STOPS! I can watch the same footage that was strobing without it strobing any longer until I move back the playhead far enough and try again, then the strobing is triggered again. I hope this all makes sense, it's very picular and I've seen or heard of nothing like it in my 4 years of editing in FCP7.

SStrange my enough the problem started occurring a few hours into the project. The only thing I can think of is that I shot with all Canon 5D mark iii footage when I usually shot with a mark ii. My workflow hasn't changed and I have never had this problem. I've also used other mark iii footage in the past without a problem but I don think I've edited entirely with mark iii footage

PRE 10 hangs up on clips while importing and playback

After importing clips from by DV camcorder when I play them back in preview or work with them on the timeline they often will hang up and pause somewhere in the middle of the clip and I have to start with play again to continue. Makes editing a terrible process. Do I have a setting in correct in PRE 10? Sometimes the actual importing process is hung up in the same manner with an error that there was an "unknown recorder problem" and all of that clip is then lost. Help!

I am moving clips to the timeline and they arrive zoomed in. how can I stop this?

need some help. I'm moving clips to the timeline and they arrive zoomed in. I don't want this effect. How can I stop it?

To expand a little on John's questions and link, every clip and every sequence has its own frame dimensions (and pixel aspect ratio & frame rate). By default, Premiere preserves the dimensions (or "resolution") of a clip when you add it to a sequence. That means that if a clip's resolution is greater than that of the sequence, it will appear to be zoomed in on the frame. Conversely, if the clip is lower res than the sequence, it will appear shrunk, with black borders.
If all of your content is the same resolution (which is the ideal case), then you should use a sequence that matches. The easiest way to do so is the "New Item" method that John refers to--dragging a clip to the Project Panel's New Item button--or, in later releases of PPro CC, dragging it into an empty Timeline panel. If you're working with content of mixed resolution, then you have to pick your poison and scale smaller clips up or larger clips down. The latter option is generally preferred because the former--scaling clips up--often results in unacceptable pixelation.

I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.

Audio playback is clipped and has low volume

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me debug my audio problems.
The problem is that audio playback is clipped and has low volume.
The details of my setup are as follows:
- An onboard soundcard (ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE motherboard), identified as Intel HDA in dmesg:
description: Audio device
product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 14.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64
resources: irq:16 memory:f9ff4000-f9ff7fff
- ALSA (snd_hda_intel driver) and Pulseaudio
My ALSA mixer settings (which were used in the recording shown in this post) are at pastebin.
The mixer settings were chosen so that all "dB gain" is 0.00 for all columns in alsamixer.
Recording an MP3 (played at full volume) from the Stereo Mixer source in audacity I gives output which looks clipped and has low volume (link).
This occurs with any MP3 and any other sound source (Youtube in Chromium, etc.)
The problem does not occur when I boot into Windows XP, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of my alsamixer playback screen for the soundcard (link)
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,
I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).

Selecting and moving clips to the right of the TCI

Is there a way to be able to move the editted clips that are to the right of my current TCI, and keep the edits as they are?
I'm looking for a ripple delete with more control if that makes sense. My old editting software had a group tool which alowed me to make a cut and move every edit to the right, to exactly where I wanted to move them. I tried using the track select, but it only works on the track I drag, even if I select more than one track.

I'm not sure what the tool is called--I call it the "A-Tool" because you hit "A" to get it to come up. Anyway, hit "A" on your keyboard and shift+click on the left-most clip that you want to move, and it will select that clip and all clips to the right of it, on all tracks. Then you can move them over. If you don't shift+click, but just click, it will select only the clips on the single track.

After xx seconds on my video, I wanted a thin strip to slide accross the bottom of the video half way
Then I wanted 4 graphics to slide onto this white line
How do I do this?

For the first question: place one video on top of the other, as a connected clip. Change the size and position as you wish.
You have many questions that suggest you are very unfamiliar with the application. I think you'd be well served by going through a few online tutorials. All the things you ask are easy and fun to do in FCP X. It is best to learn by seeing it done. Look at rippletraining.com, izzyvideo.com, and others. I am sure you'll find that it will be time well spent.

AVCHD import of moving clips very jumpy, not when done via FCE or Voltaic

Hi all,
I have a problem when importing clips from my AVCHD cam (a Sony HDR-SR7E) into iMovie 08. When the clips I am importing are of moving objects, or sweeping over a scenery, the imported clip are sometimes extremely jumpy. Like if ist was taken with a frame rate of 1 or 2 fps. It doesn't matter if I choose Large or Full quality, the result is always the same using the specific clips, and impossible to use in an edited movie. And it is not a playback problem, my CPU meters are only up to about 1/4.
If, however, I import the clips into .mov format using another program, like Final Cut Express 4 or Voltaic, then importing it into iMovie 08 using File -> Import Movies the quality is excellent! Nice result/fps with both Large and Full quality/conversion settings. Strange isn't it.. ? So it seems like the import process (and not the converting into 540 resolution if that is done) is doing something wrong in iMovie 08?
I do have some third party codecs installed, like xvid and possibly divx, but not Perian (that I have read has been causing some problems before).
Has anyone else noticed this problem? What is Voltaic and FCE doing in the import process that iMovie 08 is unable to?
Thanks,
Henrik

CS3 - Video freezes on Capture and Playback - Please Help!

Hello all,
Here's the problem:
When Capturing footage via firewire from Mini DV, shot in standard DV, within a standard NTSC-DV Widescreen 48k Project, the picture freezes after 1 second. The audio can still be heard and the footage actually does get captured. However, after the footage has been conformed, and we load the clip into the Source Window and hit play, the video again freezes after 1 second of play. Again, the audio keeps playing and you can move the marker anywhere on the clip and see that all the footage is indeed there, but as soon as you go to play it from any point - same thing, the picture freezes after 1 second of play, making editing impossible. The clip is being captured as an .avi and all capture settings appear to be correct.
Here's the kicker:
- HDV video captures and plays back fine.
- The DV video captured correctly at first, this has been a recent problem going on now for several weeks, after no changes to the system.
- The biggest kicker - after trying successfully to capture, playback and edit HDV video, we closed Premiere, reopened, tried to play the previously captured DV footage and it played just fine suddenly!!! Then we closed the program, re-opened and tried again - back to the freezing problem and it never played back fine again...
Here's the specs (I can give more specifics later if needed, it's my partner's computer):
Sony PD-150 DV-Cam (but recording on Mini DV in standard DV mode, not DV-Cam)
Windows 7
Intel Core i7 3.20 ghz
Asus X58 Motherboard with onboard Audio and Firewire
6 GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 9 Series with PhysX
Please help if you have any idea how to solve a crazy problem like this. Thank you!!!

Arrrgh. Recording video in Portrait and playback in Landscape

Ok so I start recording a video in portrait mode by mistake, and realise I don't want to do this so rotate the phone into landscape view, and continue recording.
The entire clip is now useless because it is flagged as a portrait clip, so regardless of the orientation of the phone during playback it will present the video as a portrait video.
Playback in portrait mode, it shows full screen, but when I rotated the phone while recording, everything is now sideways.
Playback In landscape mode it displays the video much reduced in size in portrait in the center of the landscape view. Worse still, when I rotate the phone in the video, this is now displayed sideways in the shrunken portrait view in the middle of my landscape screen. So I still can't watch the video WITHOUT turning my head on it's side.
There needs to be some way to edit the landscape flag on the clip and set it to portrait (and visa versa) so that in this example, I can set the clip to landscape, trim of the unwanted portrait bit at the beginning and be left with the landscape video clip I originally intended to record.
As the phone functionality stands at the moment, the clip is rendered useless.

iPhone video plays back at either 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, or 1280 by 720 pixels. This is not "landscape", this is how video is played. Have you ever seen a movie that's 720 X 1280?

Subject : Slideshow looks bad
Hello guys
I have a project in my Final Cut just about done. I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD. Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it. Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow. Thank you
PSC

Thank you Ross.
The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto. The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT, the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not. The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not. I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536. Please enlightenme. Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.
