Moving clips one frame at a time

I'm trying to line up some clips to all be the same length and start and end at the same exact time.
But final cut pro x is making it very difficult for me!
Is there an easy short-cut to move a clip one frame at a time?
I want these clips to line up exactly!
Thank you,

The way I was doing it was zooming in really close (command +) and then manually moving the clips to line up.
But comma and period are exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!

Nudge clip one frame at a time

I can move my clip one frame over by pressing "Shift" and the > or < key.
But after I've done that once showing a synch discrepancy of +1 or -1, then next time I do it, the increment is +5 or -5.
Is this normal? I need to be able to continue moving the clip +1 or -1 frame at a time.
Thanks for telling me how!

Use the Trim Forward and Trim Backward buttons (Shift-] and Shift-[) to perform the selected trim operation to the outgoing and incoming clips on either side of the edit point. The inner trim buttons trim an edit point by one frame, while the outer, multi- frame trim buttons adjust edit points by a default duration of five frames. You can perform ripple and roll edits using these buttons while the selected edit plays back, trimming frame by frame while you watch the selected edit loop over and over.
The number of frames the multi-frame trim buttons add or subtract can be changed in the Editing tab of the User Preferences window.

How to move clip one frame at a time or nudge

Tried searching this, as I'm sure it's basic and in the owner's manual, but I can't find it:
I can't control how far I'm dragging something across the timeline. Can I grab and nudge rather than grab and drag? I'd like to be able to move a clip one frame over.
Thanks.

If there's nothing in the way you can use the [ and ] keys or comma and period. Shift-bracket will move five frames.

I have an image sequence in JPG and when I select open image sequence, select all does not work and I can only highlight one frame at a time. I want to import these frames into QT7 to make a time lapse clip. Any suggestions

I have an image sequence in JPG that I want to import into quitck time 7 for making a time lapse clip.   It has an option to open the image sequence, but when I do, it only lets me highlight one frame at a time. The select all option seems to do nothing when I click on it trying to highlight all the frames.
      If QT7 is not designed to perform this function, is there another alternative?   iMovie is non intuitive for this kind of operation and I cannot find a clear tutorial for using it to make time lapse clips from a sequence of still frames.
       The tutorials Ive found on YouTube are well intended, but they all seem to leave out a vital step that eludes detection.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
Thanks
   I am new to this forum and I'm not sure I can locate this thread again once I'm out of it.

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

How can i slide a sound track one frame at a time in Pre 10

i do a lot of music videos where i record audio separtly from the video and then sync them and i have a lot of trouble getting them in sync, does anyone have any good tricks to do this? also, can i move said sound track one frame at a time in either direction to help get these tracks to sync up?
Thanks

If you zoom to the max, and watch that little TimeCode box (it pops up, when you begin dragging), just look at the last two digits, as those are the Frames. Even with my clumsy hands and fingers, I can nail the displacement to Frame-accurate standards.
Now, some other NLE's go a step further, in that when the Clip is Selected, one can nudge it along, with modifier keys and the Left-Right Cursor keys. I do not think that has been added to PrE 10, but would be a great Feature Request.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Well shut my mouth! After you Select the Clip (unlinking with Alt+click, if muxed), just hold down the Alt key, while hitting the Left-Rigt Cursor keys!!!! Forget that Feature Request.

Saving one frame at a time?

Cheers!
I am using Low-level Grab Raw Data.vi example from NI-IMAQ. I want to save one frame at a time and then set the file position to end (and maybe add some mark that I recognize where the next frame begins). I know that it copies the raw data of the specified frame into Image Data Array. But does it write (in this example) data of one frame to disk and then set file position to end? If not, how to modify it?
How does changing number of buffer affect? I mean if I increase it >1 does it affect to number of frames to write per one iteration time of while loop?
I have Pixelink PL-B741F-BL camera. http://www.pixelink.com/products_info.asp?productcode=PL-B741F-BL&f-category=CMOS%20Imaging%20Module...
Kudos for good help!

LH,
You may (you can see Groups in the Layers palette with the layer expanded):
1) Ctrl/Cmd+A to select everything and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup ;
2) ShiftClick the circle to deselect it; if it is still a Group (all of its own), Ungroup again;
3) With the Centre Reference Point ticked in the Transform palette multiply the W or H value by 1.1 (just add *1.1 in the box) and Ctrl/CmdEnter to keep proportions (this is to make sure that they are long enough);
4) Ctrl/Cmd+A to select everything again and Pathfinder>Divide (this will make pie pieces);
5) Drag over the centre with the Direct Selection Tool and press Delete (this will rid you of the inner parts of the pie pieces so you just have the outer rim in pieces).
This should give you the 30 independent curved lines forming the circle, two of them with an extra (original) Anchor Point.

Move the CTI one frame at a time short cut

Is there a short cut key to move CTI one frame at a time? I am an After Effects guy and very much used to move one frame at time using the shortcut keys. New to Animate CC... I haven't been able to figure out that feature in Animate CC. Any help for this newbie? Thank u. Cheers

That's how Photoshop's video editor works. You can adjust only one layer/frame at a time.

Moving only ONE page at a time in a photobook?

I can't seem to find a way to only move one page at a time when trying to change the order of my pages. Does iPhoto allow you to move just one page, or do you HAVE to move two facing pages together? I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious here!
Help?
Chris

Chris:
Change the view option (in the bottom toolbar of the window) to one page and you'll be able to drag just one page at a time.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Imported Video comes in one frame at a time

I am working with a Sony DCR-TRV310 NTSC camera connected to my MacBook Pro (OS10.6.7) through a fire wire cable. I was able to import the video into iMovie 9 but each frame comes in as a separate clip. When I press the space bar to view the project, the frames go by very quickly. The only thing I could think of doing was to slow down the speed of the frame but this will take FOREVER if I have to do it for each frame.
I am looking to edit old home movies that were transferred onto Hi8 tapes on a digital setting. I was very proficient with earlier versions of iMovie but have not worked with iMovie 9 with imported video.
I have found some of the posts helpful...breaking up projects etc. but could not find anything relating to this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am working on a video of my brother's life for my mom.
Many thanks,
Madalyn

I have been doing a lot of reading of the posts and realized that the frame issue is just part of the import process. What I can't seem to figure out is how to deal with the fast and choppy video. I have two mac book pros, one with iMovie 9 and one with iMovie 6. I checked on the available space and it is not an issue as I over 100 GB available on either machine.
Any help on what to do about choppy video would be greatly appreciated.

Stepping an animated gif, one frame at a time?

Does anyone know how to do this?
I want my own timer to tell it when to paint the next frame.
What I really want is an "asynchronous progress indicator", in other words, an icon that animates as long as stuff is still making progress.

For example you can decode GIFs using Java Decoder (http://www.gif4j.com/java-gif4j-pro-gif-image-load-decode.htm) and then modify delays between frames or even extract frames and animate them manually.

Moving Clips One prel file to another

How can I move a group of clips from one PrE 9 file to another? I want to create a new video, but only certain portions. Can anyone advise? Thank you, Stan

I have seen no downside to removing un-used sections of a Project, and then doing either a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Do NOT do a Save, when you have removed those sections, or you will overwrite your original Project file - something that you do not want to do.
I use this workflow often. An example would be when I create an intro, or outro, in a Project, and realize that it has use in other Projects. I will clean out that Project, leaving only those segments, that will likely be needed later on, and still in an editable mode. I then do a Save_As (if I want to keep that "new" Project Open, in Premiere), or a Save_As_a_Copy, if I just want it available later. For some more detail on the differences between the various Saves, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck, and a good point.

Scrub one frame at a time?

Hi, have Flash from Studio MX 2004 and am on Windows XP.
I haven't used Flash in awhile, but I could have sworn I was
able to "tab" or move the playhead through the timeline, either by
using the arrow buttons or the Tab key??
Have I lost my mind? Or can this be done?
Thanks,
Dilly Dally

period ( . ) for Forward, and comma ( , ) for Backward
:)

Advance one frame at a time. Quick question.

Hi, sorry for the really bad question but my keyboard does not have a page up and a page down button So what other short cut is there to do this? Is there a way I can assign my own shortcuts like FCP and Premiere? Thanks!...

These keyboard shortcuts are given in After Effects Help.
So is information about modifying keyboard shortcuts.

Compressor - Output Clips Missing Frames Throughout

Compressing clips from Canon 7D (H.264) to Avid1:1x codec creates clips that are missing some frames. This results in a shorter output clip.
The missing frames are random.
The clips have a steppy playback that can be seen when stepping through the clip one frame at a time.
I am not re-timing the clips. The source is 25fps, and so is the output.
Thanks,
Ben.

G'day
Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin, a world of hurt today, mate.
I'm not sure this is the best workflow for you. Have you tried anything like clipwrap or Mpegstream clip to get the clips into a usable Avid format? I'm wondering if you have the correct codecs installed in the first place.
what you can do is work in smaller batches and keep sending them off in the queue.
If you have an 8 core machine you'll want to setup an render cluster, using 4 instances. Look through the manual for that in Qmaster. then when you submit, send the render batch to the cluster rather than "this machine."
I haven't been on an Avid in an age and a half, but I'd think they'd have a workflow setup for these clips, I mean rather then running off to Apple's solution.
