Naming clips within a sequence

Help, I'm stuck! I've created a sequence from a subclip and would like to assign a different name to each clip within the sequence. Changing one clip affect all the others. I have tried all the options described in the editing workshop book by Tom Wolsky but have not been able to do it.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks

Thank you for your reply. This is what I was doing
1. Made the sequence
2. Clicked on the Sequence 1 icon on the browser and selected Make Sequence Clips Independent
3. Moved the sequence clips from the time line to the browser
4. Changed the name in one clip and they all changed including the master
After reading your reply,
1. Made the sequence
2. Highlighted the sequence in the time line
3. Selected make clips independent from the Sequence pull-down menu
4. Moved the sequence to the browser and was able to re-name them independently.
Obviously I misinterpreted the explanation in the book.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

  • Copy Paste of clips within a sequence closes the programm saying TickTime.cpp-290

    Hello
    I got the problem after a while when I want to copy and paste a clip or audiofile within a sequence the programm closes by saying Error TickTime.cpp-290.
    It also happens when I open certian sequences.
    All video/audiofiles are the same format.
    I already used pp-repair.exe like in the forum but the problem isnt resolved. Importing the projectfile in a new project it tells me the same error.
    Has anyone an idea?
    Thanks

    Hey,
    Thanks for the answer.
    Yes unfortunatly all values were correct and I had not to replace any comma by a full stop.
    Do you have another idea?

  • Bizarre substituion of clips within a sequence

    I've been working on a documentary, and I've got multiple sequences in the project file which themselves use over twenty "raw tape" files. This afternoon I discovered that two of the raw tape files in the browser have been replaced with another raw tape file from the project (but just within FCE. If I use the finder to click on the file it's okay). To be clear, I have interviews with subjects A, B, and C, and these are stored as raw tape. I've used clips from all three in various sequences I've been building. Now, however, where in a sequence I'd used pieces of A or B, the sequence now shows footage from C. Likewise, if I click on raw tape A or B, I'm actually shown tape from C. It's totally bizarre and somewhat frightening, as I have no idea what's caused this to happen or how to guard against it with the other sequences (much less go back and put the sequences together with the correct clips).

    Thanks. I spent some time with a friend on Skype tonight and he suggested setting the camera to 720p30 and then chosing HD and 720p30 from easy setup.
    The substitution problem was solved by reconnecting the media. Not sure how it got corrupted.

  • Project renames sequence and all clips in the sequence when a clip is added

    My project is renaming my sequences and the clips in those sequences whenever I add a clip. For example, I have a sequence called "dance section 2", which contains 20 some-odd clips with various names. When I add a clip named "drop from above", the name of the sequence is changed to "drop from above", and the name of every other clip in the sequence is also changed to "drop from above" (video, audio, stills, everything). When I add a clip named "spins", all the names are changed to "spins".
    The name of the sequence is changed in both the timeline and the browser, but the names of the other clips are changed only in the timeline. In the browser, they keep their old names. The exception to this is the last clip added before the name changer. For example, if I add "drop from above" to the sequence, and then add "spins", the clip named "drop from above" is renamed "spins" in the browser as well as in the timeline, but the other clips are renamed only in the timeline.
    The clips in the sequence also keep their original content - so the sequence looks the same as it did before, but all the names of the clips are changed.
    This is only happening in one project. All of my other projects are working fine.
    I've tried restarting and deleting preferences. I've also looked at the autosave vault for the project. The backup projects saved after a certain time all behave the same way, and the projects before that time all behave normally. I can't imagine what would have caused this, though, since I've been working on this project all day and nothing's happened to my computer or hard drive or anything.
    Also, there are no freeze frames at the beginnings of my sequences (I read another thread with a somewhat similar issue and getting rid of freeze frames seemed to help that person).
    I'm in FCP 7.0 on a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Welcome to the discussions...
    I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
    Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

  • Quick find a clip embedded in sequence

    I have 85 sequences on the timeline. There are some clips that are scattered around in those sequences that I need to replace. Those bad clips got messed up and has no timecode for me to just redigitize.
    I need a quick way to find a clip within the 85 sequences before taking it offline. I know I can label a clip with a color and scroll along every sequence till I find it but is there an easier way?
    Thanks-

    If I trashed it and take it offline and later find the clip in the time line, I would have no way knowing what the clip looked like and would not be able to replace the clip with the new digitized media.
    I can't reconnect the new media because the timecodes are different. All the bad clips I want to delete has a timecode that starts at 00:00:00:00. There must have been a bug in th FCP when I digitized the reel at the time. I just fixed the bug by upgrading. (The bug was the reel and timecodes would disappear after batch digitizing was done)
    Although my grammar *****, I hope this is clearer.

  • Panning & scale clips within a PIP template

    I have PremPro & AEP CS6. I'm looking for the best way to play 4HD clips (layers 1-4) within a 4-square template (like "24"), but panning & scaling each clip separately within its "window". I would like to retain the highest quality for the sequence and each of the 4 clips. I prepared 4 jpeg matte files, each with a different "white" window for the 4 quadrants, and I can use the track matte key on each clip tracked to its matte to play all four clips within the windows, but when I scale or move the clips to "crop" into them, the mattes scale and move as well. What am I missing here?

    To add to what Richard said, this is simple.
    Edit each of the four windows in a separate sequence. When you are happy with each of the four sequences, you can create a 5th sequence and then put the four sequences on to the first four video tracks. Use the Motion effect to scale them to 50% and then move them into place. Slightly smaller than 50% if you want borders.
    Once that is done, you can always go back and make changes to the original sequences.
    If you truly want to pan around them, you might want to create the sequences at 50% to begin with and just scale the video down. That way you can pan and zoom in the sequence without losing any quality (as long as you never scale up to more than 100%).
    Then when you drop them on a full size sequence, you just need to use the Motion effect's position parameters to move them into place because they will already be properly scaled.
    As for the borders, you can simply create one matte using the Title Designer or Photoshop, and drop it on to the top video track.

  • Need to put HD clips in SD sequence without aliasing, any way to do this without converting clips to ProRes?

    Editing a 1080p project shot with Canon 5DMkii.
    Have a 1080p H.264 sequence that I planned to change to ProRes when all finished, before exporting to make a DVD.
    Many shots have problems, and the only way to get around them is to reframe.
    I figured, no problem, DVD video is SD, so I have 600+ pixels of frame-height to play with.
    Now I have a rough cut and I have put some clips into a sequence preset to 720x405.
    Unfortunately, when the original clips are anything other than 100% of their 1920x1080 size, it’s aliased as heck.
    EXCEPT when you convert the original clip to ProRes.
    I didn’t convert to ProRes before editing because it quintuples the size (the project has 45GB of footage and my internal 1TB HD has limited space), plus on this project the small difference in final-product quality that converting before editing brings wouldn’t matter.
    I really do need to reframe many of the shots, and I wouldn’t terribly terribly mind converting to ProRes now, except that when you do, Compressor adds “ProRes…” to the new clip name, so you couldn’t just reconnect the already-edited sequence with the newly converted clips (or could you)?
    So,
    Can the downsizing of HD clips in an SD sequence be done without aliasing?
    If not, can a whole sequence (15 minutes) be reconnected to clips to clips that
    have the “Apple prores 444 hq” added to their name? (I tried and the converted clip is grayed out, can’t select it)
       3.  If not, can the whole 45GB of footage be converted to ProRes, but keep original names unchanged?
    If none of the above is possible, any other solution?
    Thank you very much

    That is a non-standard sequence setting. SD in NTSC land isn't 16:9.  It is 4:3 anamorphic.  720x486...anamorphic (squeezed). 
    Editing H.264 straight from the camera is wrought with errors. Besides the sluggishness of it, the non-RT playback...exporting has all sorts of issues.  Not exporting proper sections of footage, not exporting the full sequence (the tail might get cut off), loss of sync upon export...much more.  All of those issues have been mentioned on various FCP forums.  H.264 is not a codec FCP 7 deals with well at all.
    Converting to ProRes before editing is your only way to ensure vary little issues.  And converting to ProRes 422 is recommended.  Not HQ...not 4444.  Your footage will not see any benefit from those formats, even though they sound more impressive. All you will get is larger files.  Heck, since you are going to DVD, ProRes LT would be the optimal choice.  Even if you went to BluRay, ProRes LT would be fine for that format.  H.264 is an 8-bit format...ProRes LT or 422 will get it to 10-bit, and allow for better grading.  But ZERO benefit will be had with HQ or 4444...those are for other uses...with higher end formats.
    Not enough space? Get another drive.  Internal SATA, if you have a MacPro...are 2TB for under $150.  You can get an external 2TB for $200-$300.
    3. Yes...use MPEG STREAMCLIP to convert the footage to ProRes.  422 or LT are recommended.  Then you can reconnect, but you will need to make a new sequence that is ProRes...not H.264.

  • How do I transfer multiple clips to my sequence, Video only, I don't want the Audio.

    I used Ctrl + A in my bin to select all clips, I drag it to my sequence but it puts both audio and video, all I want is the video, and the Source Track Selection only shows when selecting one clip.

    Double-click the Desert Footage bin to open it. There are a series of short shots in this bin.
    1. Click the Icon View button on the bin to see thumbnails for the clips.
    2. Drag and drop the thumbnails in the bin to position them in the order you would like them to appear in the sequence.
    3. Make sure the Desert Footage bin is selected. Select all of the clips in the bin by pressing Control + A (Windows) or Command + A (Mac OS).
    4. Drag and drop the clips into the sequence, positioning them on the Video 1 track right at the beginning of the Timeline, above the music clip.

    What do you think its trying to say? When i follow the instructions, it overwrites the audio.

  • Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

    Hello fellow editors!
    I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
    I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
    There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.         
    I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
    Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

    Kevin Monahan ...
    Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
    Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
    These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • How to change clip speed w/o moving all the other clips in a sequence?

    when I have many clips in a sequence and try to change the speed of a clip (which changes the length) FCE automatically shifts all the following clips. is there a way to turn this feature off?

    Not in FCE. FCP 7 has that feature.
    Think about it; when you speed up a clip, the duration is shorter, therefore the clip is shorter. When you slow down a clip, the duration lengthens, therefore the clip is longer. How would FCE know that you don't want the clip to remain the same duration?
    You'll need to trim the clip accordingly based on the amount of speed adjustment you want.

  • How can I run sequentially each SequenceCall that is present within a sequence file in NI teststand

    I have a sequence file which tests a number of DUT's. Each DUT has its own SequenceCall within the Sequence File.
    I have set up each SequenceCall to create a New Execution and run in Single Pass to create a separate report for each DUT.
    My problem is that when the Sequence File executes, it Calls all SequenceCall's and they begin to run in parallel, I want them to run in sequence. I tried using the PreCondition and Evaluate Precondition option of each SequenceCall to make sure the first/previous SequenceCall had completed but this did not work, the Sequence File still called each SequenCall at same time. 

    Why are you spawning a new execution each time?
    Next to the Exeuction Options there is a button with a hammer and a wrench on it.  When you click on that you get the Sequence Call Advanced Settings.  Change the Wait for Execution to Complete: to Before executing next step.

  • How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
    double click a clip missing audio
    press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
    press the go to end point and copy timecode
    right click clip, and reveal in project
    double click the original in project
    paste in timecode and set in & out points again
    drag audio
    As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

  • How can I set the TestStand Engine tracing options to be on or off through automatically within my sequence file?

    Hello,
    I am looking for a way, where I do not have to set the Station Options manually. I want to make sure that whenever someone is running my sequence, the sequence should make sure that the "Tracing Enabled" options gets disabled somehow. I know the tracing option is actually a setting of the TestStand engine, but I want to implement it within my sequence.
    Please let me know if this is doable. If yes, what will be the best approach?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Niraj
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Depends on why you want to disable tracing. One of these might work for you:
    1) Lock the file as not viewable.
    2) Set RunState.Tracing to false as the first step in your sequence (still get the first trace message for the sequence though)
    3) On sequence calls to the sequence set the sequence call trace setting to disabled. (not enforced though).
    Hope this helps,
    -Doug
