Multiple clips + split + delete = wrong result

Some time ago I encountered a rather weird problem in iMovie:
I imported several (3 to be exact) HD clips from my camera (each about 60 minutes long) into a single iMovie project. As I wanted to discard several parts of the last clip, I split that clip into several parts and then deleted the unwanted parts. The result however was that some piece of footage of the length I was "removing" was removed somewhere else (I can't remember where exactly but can most probably reproduce it if someone needs to know) while the unwanted part was still shown on playback.
Has anyone else experienced this problem in iMovie 6, and if so, is it solved in a later version ?

Hi
Only times my Mac starts to behave in an occult fashion is
• when iMovie pref file get corrupt - trash it and eventually start a new account
• or when free space on internal boot hard disk goes low eg under 10Gb. Then my Mac
get's confused and does a lot of silly things.
• Or when I try to do something even the program maker didn't think of. So easy to
take things for granted. Then figuring out that it wasn't the way to do it.
Else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it and Close it. Re-try
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Corrupted clip import from DV: cut into multiple clips, wrong date

    After importing DV tapes into iMovie '09, especially older ones, many takes are wrongly cut into multiple clips, some having the correct recording date & time, others having the current date & time. I have a single take, 32 minutes, cut into 685 tiny clips! All out of order... It's almost impossible to puzzle them in the correct order (and I lack the time).
    Can iMovie be set to disregard timestamp info from the tape, and simply put clips in the order they are received from the tape? I could easily set the date & time by hand, and even make it understand it's one take, but not if it's a clip puzzle... Help!

    Can imovie HD run on 10.6? I tried to install it and it said I needed iLife 08 installed first.
    Yes. It works fine.
    You have 6.0.4, you want 6.0 > 6.0.3 ONLY. 6.0.4 looks for iLife '08.
    You can get iMovie 06 in a number of ways. You cannot download it FROM APPLE any longer (it was free for a time). You can also find iMovie 06 on the iLife 06 install disc. You can buy iLife 06 on Amazon or eBay. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!
    iMovie 6.0.4 requires that iLife 08 is already installed. iMovie 6.0 thru iMovie 6.0.3 has no such requirement. There are no known functional differences between 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. If you install iMovie 06 from the iLife 06 disk it will probably be version 6.0 or 6.01. However you can update the software to 6.0.3 from Apple's Web site.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imoviehd602combo .html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imoviehd603.html
    If you want to have both iMovie 06 and iLife 09 (and most do) just install iMovie 06 first, then iLife 09. You are now UN-STOPPABLE!
    Also when you install iLife 08 or 09, iMovie 06 is not removed from the computer. Previous editions of iMovie were always un-installed when "upgrading" in the past. Apple leaves iMovie 06 on your system, because they want you to have it. iMovie 06 works great with iDVD 09.

  • Delete the space between multiple clips, at once, on the timeline?

    Is there a way to delete the space between multiple clips on the timeline with one click?
    I trim clips on the timeline, so I can have a couple hundred clips with space between on the timeline.  Is there a way to delete all the spaces between the clips at once? 
    Right now I have to ripple delete the space between each clip, big hassle and a lot of key strokes. Is there a better faster way to trim clips in general?  Or delete the spaces on the timeline?

    I have not used the source monitor much. Can I use the sourse monitor to make a lot of cuts "clips" out of one big clip?  Say I want to take the highlights out of a long wedding ceremony?  Or do I need to do this one the timeline.  Edit clips on the timeline is very intuitive to me and I can do it fast, except for all the spaces betweent the clips.
    Absolutely ( and I wouldnt do it any other way because it is designed for ease and speed)
    Try it:
    1.Target a Video and Audio track in the timeline
    2. Place the long source file in the Source monitor.
    3. Locate the  first highlight and Set In and Out Points  ( KBD Shortcut "I' and "O")
    4.Then Insert it to the timeline ( KBD "," )  
    Note: there are a number of ways of sending the selection to the timeline (eg.Insert / Overlay buttons, drag it to the Program Monitor, drag direct to the timeline). You can also take video only, audio only, both. Darg options have modifier keys for insert / overlay ripple-ing
    Back to the source monitor (step 2)  and mark next highlight selection....repeat steps...etc.....
    Ensure your CTI (playhead) is always at the end of the last clip in the timeline.  KBD short cut "End" and you will have no gaps to deal with.

  • How to select multiple clips? "Help" is wrong.

    Hi. I've got iMovie 11 v 9.0.9.  "Help" is wrong in this version -  it says, to select multiple clips in the Events browser, hold down the command key while selecting - the normal thing, right?  - but it does nothing.  The first selection disappears, just as it would if you didn't hold the Command key down.  I've tried every combination of keys and click I can think of, and still no success.  Usually, when I can't get something to work and get frustrated with it, I find out it's my own fault and invariably what I've done is overthink the thing...with Mac it's always KISS.
    But I'm stuck.  Could someone please tell me how to do this?
    I'd really appreciate any help, thanks.
    Lynne

    No. In finder hold down the option key and in the GO menu select Library. In the window that appears Open the  Preferences folder then scroll down and find com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie LSSharedFileList.plist and drag them to the trash. Do this with iMovie closed. Thenreboot and relaunch iMovie.

  • Importing Multiple Clips in Order

    Does anyone know why when I import video from either my video camera or off of a DVD through a ripping software the clips come in in multiple clips? I could deal with this if they came in the same order but they aren't even close to being in order.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Peter

    Don't import into or edit in the clips viewer, do so to the Timeline. Then they will always be in order.
    Regard the clips viewer as merely a 'parking lot' for stuff you may not need but don't want to delete yet.

  • Can you avoid multiple clips of the same media in a project

    We have 2 suites and we sometimes work together on a common project utilising the same media.
    If I want to use a sequence from the other suite I can easily import it.
    The problem:  it creates another folder with clips that only belong to the imported sequence.
    The end result after a few imported sequences is that my final timeline has instances in it that
    are from clips belonging to several different folders or bins even though the media is the same.
    In summary... is there a way you can avoid having multiple clips of the same media in a project.
    Makes for a very messy project when you have finished.
    You've got multiple clips with the same name scattered everywhere.
    Cheers

    Not yet.
    I'm kind of hoping this type of media management will be vastly improved in CS6, whose main new 'feature' reeeeeally needs to be outstanding network collaboration with other editors working on the same project.

  • 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?

  • Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

    With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
    sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
    to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
    dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
    use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
    IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
    How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
    Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
    Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
    To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
    Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
    When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
    To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
    To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
    Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
    Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

    With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically.  I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard. 
    When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program.  I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim.  IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work.  You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing.  You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years.  If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go.  Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program.  Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
    Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book.  I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing.  For one, way way too many bugs.  The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension. 
    And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
    I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed.  I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called.  Reading posts like this one are really depressing.  Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ?  Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
    Please address this in upcoming updates.
    Dave.

  • How to select multiple clips???

    I am a very avid iMovie user and now this new version has me so confused. I have the basics down, but I can't figure out how to select all clips and dump them into the "timeline" area. I can select them one at a time and place them in the assembly area but that takes forever on a one hour soccer game. Anyone figure out how to select multiple clips or all clips at once?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Weird seeing this question today after I dealt with this yesterday. I did a movie yesterday that was multiple clips. I was able to select all clips at once and drag the entire thing up to the top window. I just tried to do the same thing again after reading this question and for the life of me, it will no longer allow me to click and drag to select them all. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that all 10 or so clips I was able to highlight before, were all parts of the same clip when filmed (they were split into individual segments when imported). When I try to combine two clips that are not filmed sequentially, it will no longer allow it. The help menu says nothing about this. All it says is you need to click on the first clip and hold the mouse down and drag it to the end and it will select all. That is not working.

  • Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?

    Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?  If you select multiple clips and select "New Sequence from Clip" it puts all of the clips into one sequence.  Is there an easy way to quickly perform this on multiple selected clips separately? 

    So now I *have* used Butler with PPro, and it works very well, here's an idea of how to do it:
    Import folder of clips
    Ensure first clip selected in bin and sorted by Media Type
    Most of these commands need shortcuts assigning - mine listed below
    Macro:
    To create seq from selected clip:
      ‘New seq from clip’ (Shift+CMD+N)
    To duplicate this seq:
      ‘Reveal Sequence in project’ (Shift+F) - not strictly necessary as it will already be selected
      ‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
      ‘Edit | Duplicate’ (Shift+CMD+/)
    To rename the duplicate
      ‘Enter’
      Various keystrokes to rename as required
      ‘Enter’ - to make name stick
      ‘Shift+Enter’ - to reselect that sequence
      ‘Esc’ - to get out of editing name
    To change resolution of duplicate:
      ‘Sequence Settings’ (CMD+5)
      ‘Tab’ x 3 (to get to H Frame Size)
      ‘xxxx’ (to enter frame width)
      ‘Tab’ x 1 (to get to V Frame Size)
      ‘yyyy’ (to enter frame height
      ‘Enter’ x 2 as prompt will say previews will have to be deleted
    To then find next clip ready for macro to run again:
      ‘Open in Timeline’ (Shift+CMD+O)
      ‘Match Frame’ (Shift+Spacebar)
      ‘Reveal in Project’ (Shift+CMD+F)
      ‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
      ‘Down Arrow’ - to select next clip
    I tried it with Butler (manytricks.com - free trial, $20 to buy) and it worked a treat, takes about 3 secs per clip
    AHK (for windows) is at autohotkeys.com and is free.
    You could start making multiple macros - that would enable you to do grade / resize in middle of duplication - and then export etc, but I figure you can figure that out ;-)

  • Delete Payroll results.

    Hello All,
    Is there any way or any report by which we can delete payroll results for 3000 employees at a time. I tried to use the report RPUDEL20 but this is promting me again for which payroll result shall I have to delete?
    Please advice this is very urgent!
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

    There is no Std option to delete multiple Payroll Results. You either have to d it manually one at a time or go for a custom Program. I would prefer the manual option even though it is time consuming. It is always safer to stick to the Std option while dealing with Payroll clusters. Whereas, you will have to spend a lot of time testing the custom Program to ensure nothing else is impacted.

  • Batch processing and rendering multiple clips in SpeedGrade CC?

    I'm new to SpeedGrade CC, just watched 2 hrs of Lynda training, and I'm just about ready to go. Before people jump on my question, let me walk through what my indended use will be.
    Unlike most of the content / workflow that was discussed in the training, I'm not color grading a sequence of clips stitched together in a timeline, but multiple clips that have been pre-edited to length, that I want to apply the same color correction two. This will only be done to small groups of clips, maybe 4-5 at a time, but since I'm all about efficiencies, I wanted to ask what the best workflow for doing this is.
    Let's assume that I've taken one of the clips and adjusted everything natively in Sg (no Dynamic link from Pr). I like where I ended up with the settings so I saved a .look preset file.
    So what is the next best way to handle applying these settings to the other files? Creating mutliple, separate Sg projects doesn't seem the efficient way, and having to cue up each succesively for Render, equally as slow. In the lessons the instructor illuded to working with and processing "dailies", which I also assume would be achieved through a batch process, but that isn't covered.
    I appreciate the advice!
    Steve

    Interesting ... process ... you have there. Hmmm. I can't think of any way you could work in Sg that isn't on a timeline. Whether made in PrPro or there in Sg(native) ... it's a video editing program, and that's done on a timeline. Plus the way the both PrPro and Sg are designed, you MUST define and name a project before you can start to work.
    Now, other than where the working files for the project will be kept, you don't really have to complete the forms out in PrPro especially. After you give your project a name and say where it's files will be kept, you can simply skip the rest and when you create a new sequence & drop a clip onto it, the sequence settings will be set to match your footage.
    Now ... do you have all one type footage (codec, frame size & rate) or different kinds, say some 1080p-24fps, some 720i-60fps, some 460p-29.976fps, that sort of thing?
    You know, what I'm thinking ... might actually be the easiest. Create a project in PrPro ... and a new sequence for each type of footage. Use the media browser panel to import all your footage into the project panel ... drag & drop a few similar clips to a sequence, then DL that over to Sg (takes a couple seconds) to grade/look 'em. Save 'em back to PrPro, then render that sequence out. Then when you know you've got a good render, either delete the clips from that timeline & re-use it, or create a new one. Do your next group. Rinse and repeat, so to speak.
    I take it you've no reason to save the sequences of graded clips past rendering them, so you should be able to use just the one "projects" and import folders as necessary, removing them as you will. You won't spend near any time with the "project" details, but the programs will be happy.
    Again, as noted above you can either copy a grade to other clips on a sequence or put an "adjustment layer" over the clips of a sequence in PrPro (project panel: new item -> adjustment layer) and then grade that ... it will automatically be applied to all clips under it.
    And before you ask again, there isn't any way to work a single clip without it being a "project" with a timeline. These aren't photoshop, where you can open a single image.

  • Multiple gateway & split gateway

    Simple question.
    Is the multiple gateway used when the same copies must be passed to different users in the same time. And each user cannot view the copy or result modified by other users.
    Is the split gateway used when same copies will be sent to different branches. Users in the same role can view the copy?
    Oracle BPM 10.3 Help Studio Reference does not give very detail information
    Edited by: YE on Apr 22, 2009 2:33 PM

    Hi Ye,
    Yes that's one scenario.
    A Multiple activity (called "Split-N" in releases before Oracle BPM 10g) is used in three scenarios:
    (1) Voting design pattern - It's fairly common to want to form a committee at runtime of participants. The size of the committee can be a decision made at runtime. A copy of the work item instance is assigned to each of the people on the committee. Each participant has a "vote", but cannot act on the other committee member's work item instances votes since the instance is assigned to each person specifically using participant.next for the copied instance.
    (2) RFP design pattern - The companies responding to the proposal are assigned the instance typically as the copied instance flows into an activity that is inside a parametric role. The parametric role in this example would be based on the supplier's name so only people in that supplier's company can respond the the proposal.
    (3) Changing granularity of a work item instance. Although not suggested for work item instances that can break down into hundreds of individual work items, it is a simple technique to have a single batch job (e.g. batch of claims coming in) and breaking this down into its invidual components (e.g. each individual claim would become a separate work item instance inside the Multiple / Join).
    In the first two patterns above, the end user participants involved would not have access to instances in other copies spawned by the Multiple activity.
    Use Multiple when you're using any of these patterns and the number of copies spawned is determined at runtime.
    A Split activity on the other hand is used when you do not need to determine the number of copies spawned at runtime. There is always more than one transition coming out of a Split activity. A copy of the instance variable flows through each of the unconditional transition leaving the Split and through each of the conditional transitions that evaluate as true coming out of the Split.
    Whether you decide to assign a specific copy of a work item instance coming out of either a Multiple or Split to a specific end user is based on your need inside the process. Assigning a work item instance to a specific participant can be incredibly useful, but it is an option that can be used anywhere inside a process. It is not a requirement of either the Multiple or Split activity.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.
