Need to individually compress  groups of clips that are partof same Seq

I'm doing a short video for the Amer Cancer Society which has both HD video and many SD jpegs.
There are 5 HD video clips, being placed within the jpegs.
I have completed the HD video editing but the 5 HD clips are on the same timeline, so are part of the same Segment (I probably should have made them each individual Segments). (These HD clips are actually edited groups of individual clips and I don't want to have to re-edit these.)
I want to compress and downscale these 5 HD clips individually to SD, and then place them within the SD jpegs in different locations on the timeline (The SD jpegs are a separate FCP Project).
I'm stuck trying to figure out how I can take these HD clips -which are part of the same Segment- and compress them individually. Once I am able do this then I want to import them into the SD jpeg Project for placement on that timeline.

In general, if am combining HD and SD media, I will do the entire project in HD.
All the effects and color correction will work better with more pixels.
If you have still images in SD resolution that are JPEGs, it's even
more important to get them out of that lossy codec first before you
do any processing or editing.
By doing everything in HD you end up with the best quality master.
Then you can export various SD or web deliverables as necessary.
Besides, it's quite possible that your client will change their mind
and ask for an HD deliverable, too!
If you really really really want to stay in SD on your timeline,
you can select a group of edited HD clips and choose
Sequence:Nest Items to change the resolution and group
them together so they look like one clip. If you want to
add effects to the nest, option-double-click to open
the nest in the Viewer.

  • How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

    I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline.  NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together.  And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
    Thank you so very very much in advance!    

    You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

  • Is it possible to group 2 objects that are located on 2 different pages in InDesign CS4 JS

    Is it possible to group 2 objects that are located on 2 different pages. Would it be something like that:
            var myArray = new Array;
            //Add the items to the array.
            myArray.push(myLine1);
            myArray.push(myLine2);
            //Group the items.
            var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
            myGroup = myPage.groups.add(myArray);
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Yulia

    You can group objects from distinct pages only if they belong to the same spread.
    For instance, if you have a rectangle on page 2 and a rectangle on page 3 in a "facing pages" configuration, this should work:
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var r2 = doc.pages[1].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 2
    var r3 = doc.pages[2].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 3
    // it's better here to handle the parent spread:
    var g = doc.spreads[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
    // but this may also work:
    // var g = doc.pages[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
    // var g = doc.pages[2].groups.add([r2,r3]);

  • Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

    Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
    I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
    Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
    The more automated processes the better.
    Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

    yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
    Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

  • I need to print save the date magnets that are 8.5x5.5 but I can't seem to align the printer / paper

    I need to print save the date magnets that are 8.5x5.5 but I can’t seem to align the printer / paper to print correctly!! HELP!

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? What program are you using to print?
    How thick are the magnet sheets?  I would expect most printers would have trouble feeding this material.

  • Disabling all movie clips that are on lower levels

    Hello
    I have a movie clip that pops up over all other movie clips.
    But it is still possible to interact with these movie clips that
    are beneath the mc that has popped up. Is there any way to disable
    all of the movie clips that are beneath the one that popped up?
    thanks

    Typically the way to do this is simply create a large
    invisible MovieClip which covers everything, and give it a an
    interactive event. I often use:
    on(rollOver){
    useHandCursor = false;
    This way not only does it steal interaction from anything
    below it, it makes it so the cursor doesn't turn into a hand making
    the user think there's something clickable.
    You could also make a loop which checks getDepth() and if
    it's below a specified depth, set enabled = false, but there's
    really no reason in doing that.

  • My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my  computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

  • Cannot compile two classes that are on same package

    When I compile two classes that are on same package one class that is independent of other class gets compiled but the other class which uses
    the first one shows cannot find symbol error with the first class name

    try...

    that should compile all the java files in that folder at the same time. I dont know if that will fix your problem but it is worth a shot.

    It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today.  I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.

  • Why is firefox randomly playing advertisment clips that are not present on the screen?

    I just downloaded Firefox 4 and now whenever I choose a new website or search, some kind of advertisement clip plays. I cannot find any ad box to close it or pause it, but it cuts itself off after about 30-60 seconds. If I stay on the website it repeats the same ad again. (Even on this site I have had random ad clips playing). I am not very computer literate so I don't know if its something I need to do on my end to shush these ads (preferably permanently) or something that I might need to seek help for.

  • Duplicate Detection Shows Clips That Are Not Dupes !

    Let me admit at the outset that this is not a serious problem, just a curiosity.
    I experimented with the "Show Duplicate Frames" command on a project and had loads of coloured lines appear denoting duplicates.
    The only trouble is that there is not a single duplicate frame used in that project !
    I then created another "test" project by importing a clip and breaking it down into subclips. I dragged them all from the browser to the timeline and then dragged another one that was obviously a duplicate.
    It worked perfectly and the 2 dupes showed up in red.
    So why has the original project got numerous false dupes? Incidentally this "problem" project was captured as 3 clips (from the same tape) which were then split into subclips.
    Any ideas what is going on?

    For detecting dupes, FCP looks at 2 things: the time code and reel number. If you have not changed the reel number from the default 001, and all your tapes start at 00:00:00:00, then you will have several clips with identical time code and reel numbers, which FCP will then assume are the same clips, just digitised at a different time. Not changing the reel number is a _bad habit_ because, if you ever lose your media and have to redigitise, you will be up the proverbial creek, not knowing what reel to put in when the system asks you for "Reel 001". Label your tapes and log your reel numbers!!!

  • 2 NTSC clips that shot the same scene but are not syncing

    Another newbie question. I've got something strange here. 2 standard NTSC clips about an hour long. Each, started at different times but filmed the same scene from different angles. I am trying to sync them so that I can do a multi-camera edit switching from one to the next back and forth.
    About 2 minutes into the clips, they start unsyncing! They are the same framerate, 29.97. Please help!
    With much appreciation and thanks,
    Jonathan

    I would do do some investigation of the clips using gspot or similar to see if they are what you think they are. Also, I would inspect them (on the time line) carefully to see if each clip is in sync (video/audio), then try to sort out whether they are gradually going more and more out of sync, or whether it happens at one or more points.
