New Clips Appear in Color Timeline

I have prepped my timeline by removing all filters, speed changes, etc... I reduced the clips to three video tracks. I couldn't put everything in one video track, because of overlapping dissolves.
So I send from FCP7 to Color 1.5 and when I open my timeline, I see all my shots on V1 and randomly on V2 is a clip that isn't there in FCP. So I have to unlock the track and delete it. Then I go forward in the timeline and this same clip reappears on V2. Also, after my last shot are 6 more shots in V1 that don't appear in FCP. They just randomly pop up there in Color.
This application has been pretty chaotic and I've seen this before. But now I feel it's getting out of hand. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? I recently just trashed as my prefs and that didn't fix anything.
I concerned that some shots in the Color timeline might not be the same exact ones in FCP's timeline.

I have a big problem. When I send from FCP to Color does not recognize the mounting clips. In each plane is everything and not the s 2 or 4 seconds it had in the assembly of the FCP.
I have worked with Color more times and have not had that problem.
Anyone can help me?. Can it be the codecs, the times of the FCP, the settings of COLOR?
Could you help me, please ?

Insert Editing, Why Won't Clips Appear In The Timeline?

Every time I attempt an insert edit, either via the "downward arrow" symbol or via "W" on the keyboard the clip appears in a secondary time/storyline below the Timeline, with a blank space in the main Timeline of exactly the same duration as the clip.
Similarly if I drag a clip from one part of the Timeline to another the clip appears below the Timeline with a corresponding blank space.
I do not want a secondary, or indeed tertiary storyline, I want all my clips to appear on the Timeline. I am not bothered about the length of the project or if I alter the length during the editing process.
Suggestions will be appreciated,
Ron

Couldn't manage that Tom, my hands aren't big enough BUT I have since discovered that what I thought was the Timeline is in fact a secondary storyline, with the Timeline, dark grey, below it. If I insert edit the clip appears correctly on on the Timeline with the two adjacent clips above on the Secondary line.
I have no idea how this happened. I started off my edit by by using the "append" arrow but the clips appeared and lined up together on this Secondary storyline.
A very laborious task in dragging each clip off the Second line and onto the Timeline. Nearly an hours worth of short clips!
I am about to start another project so will want to be certain to get all onto the Timeline. Perhaps my settings were wrong or I've inadvertently pressed the wrong key. Ron

Ghost clips appearing on FCP timeline-why?

every now and again in this edit, I'll drop a clip (say clip #1) on to the timeline, do a render at some point in the future, and then later move/delete clip #1.
Afterwards, when I play timeline on the canvas, the clip I deleted will show up again, overriding clips #3,4,5 that are ACTUALLY there. There are 4 active track on this edit (V1-4), and one that is disabled (V5). So there appears to be no clips other than #3,4,and 5. [I hope that's clear!]
When the ghost image plays, I can see all 5 tracks of video, and all audio tracks as well.
Sequence info: 5V, 10A, 29.97 fps, 720x480, comp=DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, CCIR 601, field dom=lower (even), TC=source, TC rate=30.
This has happened 2 or three different times in this (large) edit. I just need to know why it's happening and how I can change things so it doesn't happen again!
Cheers,
chris

Sometimes FCP gets stuck on old render files, why, who knows. You can do any number of things to force a re-render of that clip or section of the timeline (lower then riase opacity, toggle the track off and on etc.) Or you may have to delete the render files using the Render Manager.

Color timeline starts each clip at 00:00:00:00 after sending from FCP

When I export a sequence from FCP (7.0.3) to Color (1.5.3), the latter shows a timeline with clips of the proper duration, but with the wrong in/out. Each clip in the Color timeline starts at 00:00:00:00 of the source file, as opposed to the "in" I had selected in FCP.
The video originated as h.264 files from a 5D. I transcoded the files to ProRess 422 for editing, and am sending them from FCP to Color as such. The FCP timeline contains nothing but these ProRes video clips.
Thanks for your help...

any way to use an edl with these kind clips?
That poses an interesting option, maybe. For starters, though, the Send To... COLOR command instructs FCP to write an XML export that is decoded by COLOR, and that should take care of things.
There is a strategy that AVID users sometimes employ, and that is to export a CMX EDL, open that under COLOR and link to the media directly under COLOR (this works for RED flow). I am mystified as to why COLOR defaults to the first frame of your exported clips -- unless the time code is faulty in some way (or is not present), and so COLOR is simply beginning at the beginning as a kind of default.
Even if the in-point is wrong, are the clip durations correct?
Are you absolutely sure there is timecode on the ProRes clips? Apparently this is a problem shared with Final Cut Express, where exported QT clips always start at zero, but this is hearsay on my part as I have never dealt with FCE.
An alternate strategy at this point might be to export a complete Quicktime of your finished (textless) project, re-import it into FCP and "razor" cut it using your original timeline as a cutting guide. That sequence would go to COLOR with no issues.
A lot of users do this as standard procedure if they want to avoid a lot of "baking" and conforming if they've got a large number of mixed, or unsupported, media clips on a timeline. As a brute-force solution, its the Big Unifier.

Color sent to FCP - New Clip in FCP that also needs color correction

Good evening, is there a way how - after having color corrected the FCP project in Color - to exchange or add a new clip into the FCP project, which can be color corrected in the same, initial Color project.
Meaning: I was "lazy" and I didn't bake a Motion Clip, which of course isn't showing in Color.
Now, I tried to be "smart": Exported the Motion Clip from FCP as Quicktime movie. Than went to Color and relinked media, with that new baked clip, which is the exact same length... That doesn't work...
Hm. I am being ignorant?
Thank in advance for the help.
Sincerely,
Miss Snoozy

In your case, if you're up to date on version (1.5 or later), then a Reconform will probably work for you.
Create a new FCP sequence with the revised "baked" clip, export an XML file, open the original COLOR project, select Reconform from the file menu, select the XML you just created and hold your breah, cross your fingers and hopefully it will work.

Ghost clip appears in canvas only when other clips are placed in its place

Gd afternoon, this may sound crazy but here we go. the space on the timeline is blank, and when the sequence is played the blank section shows nothing but black screen. however when i drop any clip in the empty space on the timeline an old clip I changed the speed of shows over whatever clip i just dropped in the empty spot. Again, when the spot is empty nothing shows, only when a different clip is placed in that spot does the "ghost" clip appear over the new clip and the space that the ghost clip holds shows a blue rendered line for the speed that was changed.
How do I get rid of this ghost clip?

+thanks, i tried to delete the rendered clip but no help+
No, what is required when the problem reaches the stage you described is to delete ALL of the render files for that sequence. One way to do that is to go to Tools > Render Manager and navigate to the problem sequence and clicking in the Remove column for that sequence. Then click OK.
That will delete all of the render files for the sequence. Then you re-render. This sometimes works, as I said.

Where is the import option for "Start a new clip at each scene break" in iMovie 2013?

I am currently in the process of importing several mini-DV tapes via firewire into iMovie 2013. I have the most recent version of iMovie and am using a Sony Handycam to facilitate the transfer. The problem I am having is that when I hit import, iMovie splits what is supposed to be a single scene into multiple scenes ranging anywhere from a second to 5 minutes. I am left with several scene chunks that I cannot combine into one. I did a little research and found that iMovie is probably deinterlacing my scenes as it mistakes them for multiple scene breaks. In the older iMovie options, all I had to do was to go to "Preferences" -> "Import" -> then deselect "Start a new clip at each scene break". However, this option doesn't appear to be available in iMovie 2013. Is there a way I can force iMovie 2013 to import a single scene from my mini-DV camcorder without breaking it into multiple clips? Thanks!

1st : this is the wrong forum, this is iMovie for ipod/iphone and ipad ( iOS is the OSX mobile Operating System )
2nd : iMovie 11 is the current OSX version. iMovie 06 was the last of its kind, all newer, including iMovie 09 have complete new workflow, so functions of 06 are gone and have replaced with others.
Please go to the correct forum to find specific answers.

BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
Thank goodness for the internet!

Missing Video from clip when bringing into timeline

I'm currently editing a video and half-way through, I'm not sure what happened but now whenever I try to insert a clip from left-hand side clip selection into the timeline, there is a circle with a line through it when I try to place the video where my other video is. I can, however put it in the sound section - the sound works but no video. I've tried saving everything and restarting premiere, I've rendered the video, deleted the clips and put them into the selection, and even brought new clips from my computer in. Nothing has worked.
I'm using Premiere Pro CC and I am on a Mac. Is there any other information I need to provide? I feel that I've somehow changed a setting but I'm not sure what I've done.

Your track is probably not patched.

When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona. Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation. I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline. Any Idea how to fix this? I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

Passing a variable from a movie clip to the main timeline

Hi,
I'm having trouble passing a variable from a movie clip in my
flash file to the main timeline.
I have a movieclip with the instance name IntroNav which
contains several buttons. Clicking a button sets the variable
"page" to a specific name, i.e. page = "home"
However, outside of the movie clip, on the main timeline I am
unable to call this variable, and "page" seems to have no value.
Can anyone tell me why this is and how to solve it?
Thanks

Umm, yes ... declare your variables correctly.
var page:String = new String(); //proper complete
var page:String; //strict typing
var page:String = "home"; //stirct typing with value
declaration
Do not declare the variable in your buttons, you would have
to do so in every button and be constantly resetting the value.
Declare it on the main timeline at the lowest level. You do not
need to use it as a _global, you just need to resolve your path
issues. You can 'set' the variable value from a button, without any
problem, but you have to call to the variable correctly.
You do not 'name' a variable as "_root.page" , the '_root'
refers to the lowest level of the SWF or the main timeline, as does
a call to ' _level0' (that's a zero). If the variable is declared
on the main timeline, and you're calling from the MC/button or
anywhere you can refer to the variable by calling to it by
the proper path of '_root.page'
To set the variable from any of your button/MC instances
call:
_root.page = "value"; OR _level0.page = "value";
But you must have the varibale declared on the main timeline,
and only once and the playhead should be stopped or it will reset
the value to the default upon looping.

Clips not displaying in timeline

I've been having a nightmare of a time editing a project because my clips are randomly not displaying in my sequence timeline. The project recognizes them as being there and will play them when I preview, but some clips aren't represented graphically. This makes it nearly impossible to edit, because I'm constantly dropping new clips over existing ones on accident. In this image, inbetween the two cross dissolves, there should be a clip. I can only see it if I zoom in to a level that makes editing very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions? My clips are all AVCHD, by the way.

Yes, I'm sure the clips aren't on a track I've scrolled out of view. As I said, when I zoom in on the timeline, I can see that there is a clip in the gap, at least in the example I posted above. Here is a screenshot of my entire timeline after making some changes.
Where the playhead is, there should be a clip on track 1. What does the 'V' at the far left of the track indicate? Because it seems like maybe I've enabled some kind of overlapping video mode. I'm a new convert to Premiere from Final Cut, so I'm not very comfortable with this yet. I was able to fix the problem by deleting the two clip fragments to the left of the playhead. When I deleted one, the other clip fragment, to the left of the first one, stretched out to fill the gap. I haven't had the problem since, but I'd still like to know what was going on. Seemed like a bug to me, but the 'V' also went away after I deleted the clips, so I'm wondering if maybe I had entered some kind of mode that I wasn't aware of.

Insert new clip cuts and splits the music track

Hi all FCE4 users!
My question is regarding when inserting a new clip on the timeline that has audio to it and when doing the insertion, the existing audiotrack on channel A3 & A4 are split and in between them on channel A1 and A2 the video audio is put.
How do I make this not happen?
I want the audio tracks just to mix, or in this case, I actually do not want ANY sound from the videoclips that I insert, because I am making sort of a music video.
Thankful for any kind of helpful answer!
Sincerely,
--Andreas B

Deselect audio to A1/A2 so the audio isn't edited into the timeline, and click on the lock buttons for tracks A3/A4.

Smooth Slow Motion from 50 fps Clip in 50 fps Timeline

If I want 50% smooth slow motion from a 50 FPS video clip, I would normally ask PP to interpret that clip as 25 FPS - that works great.
If however I import the 50 FPS video clip and interprett it as 50 FPS, I would have to set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% to get the same level of slow motion.
The question is - when I follow the latter method, does PP create new frames for the slow motion or is it clever enough to use all the frames from the original 50 FPS video clip? to put it another away, does PP always generate NEW frames for slow motion or does it try to use the frames we are attempting to ignore?
I've done some basic tests and so far I can't see any real difference between the two methods. This leads me to beleive PP is effectively using all of the original 50 frames when the 50 fps video clip is imported into a 50 fps timeline and then slowed down in the timeline by 50%. - if this is the case, well done PP!!! If this is not the case, then it would be a welcomed enhancement in future releases.
I guess what you are all wondering is why would I want to import a 50 fps video clip into a 50 fps timeline and then slow it down in the timeline - well, as a wedding Videographer, it is simply because some parts of the video need to be in slow motion and other parts like messages and speeches need to be interpreted at normal speed. If playback in the timeline is at normal speed, i find it simpler to slow down the "Walking Down the Isle" clips rather than having to speed up the speeaches and messages.
In short, when importing 50 fps video for smooth slow motion, are both the following methods equally effective in terms of smooth motion?
Method 1: Import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline
Method 2: import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline and set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% - I'm assuming PP does not generate new frames and gets them from the original 50 fps file instead..
To put it another way, does PP ALWAYS attempt to generate new fromes when slowing down video in the timeline? When extra frames are available in the original video file, does PP try to get the extra frames from that file instead of generating new ones?

I recorded 2 video clips of the same scene. The camera was panning from right to left.
First video clip - recorded at 25 fps
second video clip - recorded at 50 fps
Both video clips recorded at the same panning speed of the same scene.
1. If I import the 25 fps video into 25 fps timeline and slow it down by 50%, the exported video looks jerky.
2. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline, the exported video looks smooth motion.
3. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline, slow it down in the timeline by 50%, and export the video as 25 fps then the result is still smooth motion.
I've only done the experiment once and may have to repeat to be absolutely sure.

Message appears in color red "low mem warning" what is it?

When i was playing "injustice" the new popular game in the app store, a message appears in color red "low mem warning about "" min" what is it? What i can do? Is dangerous?

It must be a setting in the game itself. That is a warning that the iPad is running low on accessible memory in order to function properly in the app. In this case the game is letting you know that the iPad resources are being stretched and the game could crash. It might not, but the possibility does exist.
Is it harmful to the iPad? Not really, but it could pi** you off if you are in the middle of something in the game and the app crashes and you lose progress or achievements. I have no idea what the game is about.
You could try closing apps in the recents tray and see if that helps - although that is not supposed to matter in iOS.
