Multiple video layers in clip

When attempting to view a clip in Quicktime, the clip will play as normal and then suddenly switch between scenes. At this point, it is possible to drag the slider backwards in time and view a different scene. A third scene can be viewed if the cursor is rewound and played from precisely the right point towards the beginning of the clip.
This clip was downloaded using Limewire and "previewed" before the download was complete. My theory is that some sort of Quicktime cache is enabled which permanently set the length of the clip at a fixed time... not allowing the clip to play for a longer length of time after it had been downloaded.
Is there any way to reset this file so that the multiple videos layers can be viewed continuously as they should?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

If its an MPEG file, use MPEG Streamclip to "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to save the video into a new MPEG file with continuous timecode for better playback in QuickTime Player. Or just play it with VLC or MPlayer which will play it regardless of timecode errors.

Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

Multiple Video Layers in Color

Apologies as I am new to Color, and this is a real noob question, but I haven't been able to find an answer yet.
I have an FCP project that has overlapping video layers (that implements the crop tool). However, when I send it over to Color, it only shows the topmost layer with no cropping present. Does this mean that Color will not recognize this feature?
If so, any work arounds?

Hello,
I'll start by saying your mileage may vary here.
Generally speaking, Final Cut Pro "Motion" settings get converted to "Geometry" settings in Color.
That said, I haven't done a crop in V2 overlaying on V1, and sent to Color. Just haven't had to do that.
Real easy way to check if your specific settings work.
1. Create a very short sequence in FCP that does what you're trying to do. Just do the two clips, one on V1, and the cropped one on V2.
2. Send to Color
3. Look at the Geometry tab for both clips. Did the settings make it over on the V2 track? They should have.
4. Either way, go ahead and render the clips, and then send back to Final Cut Pro. Even if you don't see all of the settings, they're definitely in the XML that Color received from Final Cut Pro, and Color should send them back to FCP on the return trip.
5. What should happen is that once you're back in FCP, your original motion settings will have made it through the round trip, and you'll get pretty much what you expected.
Then again, you may find that all of your video is upside down and purple, and all of your audio has somehow been converted to Spanish. Welcome to Color 1.0.x.

Arranging Multiple Video Layers

When I want to have multiple videos playing on screen simultaneously - 4, 6, 8, maybe 16 - is there a way to have Final Cut Pro auto-arrange the location and size of each clip so that they are evenly spaced on the canvas? At the moment I am arranging everything manually in the motion editor, but it is slow and I would love to have a more efficient way to get it done.
Thanks.

Create Motion templates. There may be some third party plugins if you look around.

Shot matcher with multiple video tracks and clips bug

Hello again,
Very problematic bug : at least in direct link mode, when using shot matcher, if the shot to be matched is on top of other clips below, then it produces odd results. In a word, it doesn't work.
Can't think of a workaround or another workflow right now, so, again, very problematic.
Fred

As I'm producing a music documentary, it's often handy not to erase a clip beneath another one when there is a temporal continuity and the clip above only is there for a temporary angle change.
Thank you very much for this idea anyway.

Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

hello ,thanks for jour mail ,but my English is very very bad sorry but
many thank for your feedback. Hav a nice Day

Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted.
I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance!

Multiple Video Clips

Does DVDSP4 support multiple video clips in a track? It allowed me to add a video clip after the first one but the second clip is black when I play it. This is for a dance recital where i want each section title screen to be separate from the video.

Hi:
Most probably you find the black playback (but audio is playing fine) in Simulator, right? Try pausing and starting again during Simulator.
It's a kind of bug in Simulator. If you make a trial build you'll find everything is OK.
Hope that helps !

Problem Synchronizing Multiple Video Clips to One Audio Clip

So i recently shot some video for a cool project I have coming up however I am having issues with Synchronizing the Audio and Videot together in Final Cut Pro X. I have used Final Cut Pro X since Day 1 that it came out and I thought I had a pretty good grasp on how Synchronizing Clips and MultiCam worked. I record my audio separately so in the past I would start recording on the TasCam Recorder (Wireless lav set up) I have, start recording on the DSLR and end up with both a video and audio clip. I would take these into Final Cut Pro and highlight both and use the "Synchronize Clips" command to pair them both into a single clip and then turn off the natural audio from the DSLR and begin my cuts. I thought I had done this with multiple clips before without issue but I seem to have a problem now.
Yesterday I shot 50 interviews. I pressed record on the Audio Recorder in the beggining and let it run for the full 2 hours, giving me one long audio file. Instead of wasting video space on my CF Card, I started and stopped recording for each of the 50 interviewees. My goal and what I thought would work was to highlight all 50 video clips and the 1 audio clip and say Synchronize Clips. This did not work. Upon looking at the Synchronize Clips in depth, i noticed that it synched all of my video stacked in the beggining in the first couple minutes. It didn't sync all of my clips, it merely just put them in the same timeline all up front.
I then tried to highlight all and do the same thing with MultiCam, however thought it matched a few more clips, it still had an issue of not synching the way I was hoping for.
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue in the past and what they might have done to fix it. Does FCPX have a limit on the number of clips it can Synchronize? Does anyone have any ideas for workflow for synchronizing all of these clips? In the future upcoming shoots should i resort back to starting and stopping audio recording the same way I start and stop video recording and then pairing individual interviews later?

So i just read this in the support for FCPX
Final Cut Pro analyzes the clips for sync points such as markers you’ve added, timecode, file creation date, and audio content. If no sync points can be found, the clips are synced at their respective starting points.
This is what I am aiming for , however not what I am getting. The piece about how the clips sync via timecode, markers, and creation date/time intrigue me though. There is no timecode cause my external audio is just a wav file, but maybe I can get it to sync better via markers? Has anyone else had this issue? Maybe my audio file being close to 2 hours is too long?

Unlinking multiple Video/audio clips

Coming from FCP I'm used to doing certain things as part of the workflow.   One of these is being able to link / unlink multiple video/audio clips at the same time to that I can selectively delete or disable the audio if I'm running a second audio recorder or perhaps mixing a backing track.
In PPro it seems like as soon as I select more than one clip the 'Unlink' option is grayed.    How can I select (say) 10 clips, unlink the audio from the video so that I can delete or disable it.   The reason for disable is that I may want the ambient sounds later on in the mix, but if I disable this audio without unlinking I also disable the video.
I don't want to keep moving stuff on to more and more audio tracks and then have to mute the track, that's time consuming and a pain.   All I want to do it unlink multiple clips.
This can't be that hard can it ?

You don't need to Unlink in order to Delete. Just hold down the Alt key while selecting the audio portion of the clips.
You can 'disable' the audio by turning off the entire track, which is very easy to undo if you ever want the audio back.
It's a slight shift in work flow, but the end result is the same.

Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips. I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder. I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format. The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on. Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem. But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work. And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better? I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
Any suggestions? Thanks--

Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time?
Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.

Extending video layers across the time line simultaneously

Any one Know how to extend video layers across the time line simultaneously?
I have been working on a Video for a few days and have all the layers I need to make my video but when I came to start creting the clip on the timeline there was no promt asking me how long I want the clip to be. I want to extend all the layers on the clip to 21:10 seconds similtaniously. Ther is about 600 layers in numorous groups and I dont want to have to extend each layer across the time line to 21:10 seconds individualy?
can any one help?

it is currently lacking the ability to adjust the length using multiple layers at once. However that said, if you are done animating the layer individualy, you can select all layer (or a partial) and convert them to a smart object. That smart object can then be extended in time. Playing in photoshop maybe slower due to the smart object.

The point of multiple video tracks

I am half way through the Adobe Premiere CS3 Classroom in a book and the only time multiple video tracks have been used is when working with multiple cameras and still there the multiple tracks where used only to sync up the four different cameras. In the book, to determine which camera angle to show the sequence had to be dragged into another sequence that was set to multi-camera.
I see different marketing shots of the Premiere screen with lots of video tracks. How sand or why do folks use multiple video tracks? It seems that all the video transitions are between different clips on the same track, can a transition span tracks? Might there be some good videos or books that might enlighten me to some more advanced usages?
Sam

Here's an example...
Video Track 1 - Clip (main program)
Video Track 2 - Title (lower third graphics)
Video Track 3 - Title (lower third text)
Video Track 4 - Over the shoulder graphic (think "news report")
Video Track 5 - Bug/logo lower left corner
Audio Track 1 - Clip (main program)
Audio Track 2 - Music (underneath)
Audio Track 3 - Sound effects (whoosh! zing! bang!)
Audio Track 4 - Audio commentary (director, talent)
Just something to get your brain going. I've never used more than 10-15 video layers simultaneously (doing green screen work, titles, mattes, etc), and never more than about 6-10 audio tracks. But that's just me....many people need more than that to accomplish whatever they're doing.
Another thought...even though you "can" do transitions and cuts all on one track for most simple projects, some people prefer to use the track numbers as an organizational structure. Put all your cuts for scene 1 on track 1, all your cuts for scene 2 on track 2, and so on. This can be very useful for scanning the timeline and looking for specific changes in the overall storyline (whereas a single, long track would require another system of organization...either sequence markers or perhaps pure memorization).
Hope this helps!
