Moving clips, simple question

a novice question,
I've got over two hours of clips, transitions, etc., as my film, and I want to go through and edit a few more times...
is it possible to delete a clip and move everthing to the right of that clip over with one move? I know highlighting/shift will move chunks, but that might be a pain at some point.
Thanks.

Haven't read that manual yet, have you?
Make a copy of your sequence. mark in and out points on something you want to remove. hit the little delete key under the f13 key. What does that do? It's called a ripple delete.

  • Moving Final Cut Project to External Hard Drive...Simple Question!

    I'm new to Final Cut, Macs and External Hard Drives and have a simple question:
    I've created a project in Final Cut. I would like for Final Cut to be stored on my mac, but all project/media files to be stored on the External Hard Drive. Which files do I move to the hard drive and what settings to I have to change for Final Cut to be able to locate them?
    Many thanks!

    Well, you should always store the Application and the project file on your main OS drive. And yes, always have an external for the media. In FCP, open the SYSTEM SETTINGS in the FCP menu and you will see the interface for setting your Capture Scratch disk.
    The files you move default to the DOCUMENTS folder, and are in the FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS. The Capture SCRATCH, RENDER and AUDIO RENDER files.
    Do yourself a favor and glance at that manual...or the FCP tutorials. This is FCP basics 101.

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
    charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • Flash cs3 simple question

    I know this is a very simple question, but i just dont know
    what im doing wrong
    Im trying to add a script on a movie clip, but everytime i
    click on the movie clip then click on the actions i get a message
    "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it"
    I have done everything i can think of to add script to the
    movie clip.

    "old way of programming buttons will work!"
    However, this is not the preferred way to add actions to
    symbols.. You should get into the habit of doing it correctly. You
    code will be more organized, and can make performance increase. If
    you want to use AS2, I strongly suggest attaching your actions to
    the frame. It is very simple, and a much better practice.. give
    your symbol an instance name and attach this to a frame.
    instancename.onRelease = function(){
    trace("I've been clicked");
    using on(release) and such, is outdated and not good practice
    for you for the future. Why revert to the old bad habits, when you
    can learn the new, and future of programming in AS

  • 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.

  • Simple Question - loginblock.ascx

    Hi,
    I apologize in advance for what I'm sure is a simple question!.
    I'm not familiar with C# at all and am pretty new to ASP.NET, therefore I'm keeping the level of customization to a minimum during phase 1 of our website. However, I would like to add a remember me checkbox to the loginblock.ascx. I have followed the normal asp rules for adding this checkbox to the layouttemplate but it makes no difference to whether a user is remembered. Looking at the code it would seem that the remember me value is always passed as false:
    protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            NPUser user = new NPUser(loginMain.UserName);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, false);
    All I would like to do therefore is control that value with a checkbox, so I thought this code would work:
    protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            NPUser user = new NPUser(loginMain.UserName);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, checkbox1.Checked);
    It doesnt, the control no longer loads. As a matter of interest I replaced checkbox1.checked with other controls on the page, and with the exception of the login and main panels, none of the other controls could be referenced either without generating an error. I'm obviously missing something fairly fundamental here, and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks!.

    I have manually changed the value to true, and it triggers the process that automatically logs a user on at the next visit.
    This is currenty where my checkbox resides, although it I have moved it around to see if it made any difference!.

  • Easy movie clip / timeline question... please help.

    This is a pretty simple question about something I just cant
    figure out.
    I have a movie with 2 frames. On the frist frame are two
    buttons. On the second frame is a movie clip. In the movie clip are
    two labeled frames, "ball" and "box" for two parts of an animation.
    One part plays a ball bouncing. The other plays a box rotating.
    What I want to happen is when you click the ball button it plays
    the movie clip and starts on ball. When you click the box button it
    plays the movie clip and starts on box. The code for the buttons is
    simple:
    boxButton.onRelease = function ()
    anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
    ballButton.onRelease = function ()
    anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("ball");
    The movie works fine as long as the movie clip and the
    buttons are on the same frame, frame 1.
    But if I move the movie clip to frame 2 it does not work.
    Why!!!??? How do I point the button to play the movie clip on frame
    2?
    It will work if I just send the button to gotoAndPlay("2");
    obviously, but what if I want to target specific frames?

    I tried this like you said:
    boxButton.onRelease = function ()
    _root.gotoAndStop(2);
    zoom_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
    Thinking it would go to frame 2, then play the movie clip
    starting on frame "box" within the movie clip. But it doesnt. Of
    course, it plays frame 2, and the movie clip plays, but only on
    frame 1 of the movie clip, it does not go to "box" which is in the
    middle of the timeline of that movie clip.
    I guess there is no way to do this?
    Accessing labeled frames within a movie clip from a buttion
    on the main timeline requires that the button be on the same frame?
    This seems strange.. I guess.....

  • Simple Question - desktop folders

    I have a simple questions about moving Desktop Folders - when I move the folder into the HD, to exactly where I want it among my many folders, there is a copy that stays on the desktop. I then start saving things to one or the other, and they do not update together. The result is two half-full folders, one of which refuses to leave the desktop when I try to move it. Why does this happen, and how can I avoid this without just deleting one and possibly loosing info?
    PowerBookG4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Combo drive, 768 MB memory, 1.33 processor

    where is you user account? is it a network user? or local? is the HD the same as the system disk?

  • Snap function in CS4 After Effect (simple Question)

    Windows 7 Ultimate
    After Effect CS4
    Gentlemen .
    A very simple question, since i am more of a Premiere person, it seems like I am stuck with this problem and the problem is
    In Premiere its called "Snap" its a tool or function that automatically finds the connecting or starting or ending of a clip.
    For example if I have 3 channels of video and I have many cuts, by dragging the edge of a video , it tells or shows me when they are connected
    I tried to search , all I find is "Snap to Guides" which in not doing what I want .
    If you need more explanation, plz let me know , else hope you can help.
    Thanks.
    Btw. in Premiere the Snap looks like a "Magnet"

    To help you with that we need to know something about your composition settings and the settings you picked in the output module. Anything else would just be a guess. My guess is that you're using some HD footage from a non square pixel aspect ratio format and rendering to the same size. If you pick a square pixel HD format (1080 or 720 both have square pixel frame sizes in the default composition settings) and you put your HDV, DVCProHD, AVCHD, Mpeg non square footage in a square pixel comp it will fit and render out correctly.

  • A simple question on random number generation?

    Hi,
    This is a rather simple question and shows my newbieness quite blatantly!
    I'm trying to generate a random number in a part of a test I have.
    So, I have a little method which looks like this:
    public int getRandomNumber(int number){
            Random random = new Random(number);
            return random.nextInt(number);
        }And in my code I do int random = getRandomNumber(blah)...where blah is always the same number.
    My problem is it always returns the same number. What am I missing here. I was under the impression that nextint(int n) was supposed to generate the number randomly!! Obviously I'm doing something wrong or not using the correct thing. Someone please point out my stupidity and point me in the right direction? Ta

    I think the idea is that Random will generate the same pseudo-random sequence over and over if you don't supply a seed value. (The better to debug with, my dear.) When you're ready to put an app into production, the seed value should be the current system time in milliseconds to guarantee a new sequence with each run.
    Do indeed move Random outside the loop. Think of it like a number factory - instantiate it once and let it pump out the random values for you as needed.

  • A simple Question about % in CR Chart!

    Hi, I have another simple question.
    When i use SQL to storage data and wanna Crystal Report to display the data in chart using %
    which data type should i use?
    float or string?
    and I found when i use 0.12 as 12% in database , It could not display in Crystal Report line chart normally.
    What should I do??
    Please Help!!!
    Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

    If you have the datatype as string from your database then try adding the string field as a summary field in chart and select maximum instead of count and if you have them in number format then you can directly select the percentage in chart.

  • Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

    iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.
