Noob Question 17: Resizing Multiple Clips?

Hi,
I looked at another discussion on -adding- dust and scratches to create a 'film' look. I downloaded a series of TGA files from the Stephen Gotz site. Great. But... The default length of each clip in the timeline is way too long. Is there a way to select all clips on a track and re-size them so that they are all still butted up against one another? IOW: I can re-size them en masse, but when I do that I end up with lots of space between them which I do NOT want.
TIA,
---JC

The main way, has been outlined, well actually two ways. Those work before Import.
To alter the Duration of the Clips in the Timeline (already Imported), press the Ctrl key, and click-drag the Tail of each to suit. Keep the Info Panel open, to see the new Duration. The Ctrl key will 'drag" your other Clips along with the change.
Good luck,
Hunt

06 IMovie question on resizing a clip

How do I resize a video clip from 600 to uner 100m? It's not even a minute long. I have Imovie, streemclip and quicktime softward. thanks

.. in case, you're speaking of the exported files size of an iM project, instead of using the few presets, choose Export/Quicktime/Expert settings .. and use any of the many options.. as 'resizing'/resolution to 320x240, diff. framerate, e.g. 15fps, different codec, e.g. h264, mp4, divx (if installed) ..

Quick Question About Multiple Clips

Hey guys,
Is there any way to turn multiple clips into one single clip? More specifically, multiple clips that have already been placed on the timeline. I have ten clips right next to each other on the timeline and I would like to turn them into one single clip with no edit marks. Kind of like the "Consolidate" option in Pro Tools. Is there any way to do this without exporting or nesting? Thanks!

How do you resize multiple artboards in Illustrator at the same time?

Hi,
This is a question that has been bugging me for a while. I'm currently on CS6 but I'm looking for a solution that can also work on CS5 for a co-worker.
Having multiple artboards has been established since CS4 and I have yet to see an official way of resizing multiple artboards, if anything there should at least be a plug-in.
As great of a feature it is, it seems a little short sited. If one has multiple artboards one should be able to manage multiple artboards, right?
I totally love having multiple artboards but I should be able to resize and manage multiple artboards as well.
This is great for building icon sets but how can I resize the set all at once?
I was considering trying to do an action but odds are I still would have to select an artboard one by one to do which doesn't save much time if you have like 30 artboards to apply this to.
I don't even see a batch render for artboards and Photoshop has that for its files.
I'm well aware of the solution that is displayed here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1093465
Which is a script. I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put it.

you can resize the artwork on export. no need to draw it to size.
Unfotunately when I looked into that does not seem to be the case. However I can resize when I "Save for Web" but that appears to only work for one artboard at a time. I can Save As or Export multipe artboards but not adjust the size. Believe me I would be happy if I could resize multiple artboards upon export but apparently that is not an option.

you can put the scripts in illustrator's folder/presets/en_us(or whatever localization you have)/scripts. you can then access them in illustrator from the menubar/File/Scripts/
there are also applications that will let you execute scripts with assigned shortcuts. i believe sparks is free.
Thanks for pointing out the location.
Do I save it as a txt file or something else?
(I was guessing that I would copy the script into notepad or something)

Move multiple clips at once

I often have to move multiple layers of clips or still images and keep their position relative to each other. In AE and in PS I can select multiple layers and drag their position around freely, but in Premiere Pro, I can only drag one layer at a time. Bouncing to AE is not a solution for me because everything I work with needs to be timed with multiple layers of audio at all times. Nesting is not a solution for me because I need to be able to adjust each layer independently as well. This is a feature I would use (and did use in FCP) dozens of times every day! I really need this. Any chance it's coming in a future update?

Hi Chris,
Hi Kevin, I resurrected this old thread today so I'm not sure if the original poster is still around but thanks for the replies.
Sure, no problem.
The After Effects work around is quite long winded for what seems like a very simple task, but I do appreciate your point about how FCP was designed differently from the beginning.
Indeed, it really seems that way from the outset, but AE launches really fast these days. You can set up these kinds of comps very quickly and be back in Premiere Pro in no time. Remember how Motion and FCP used to work together? I think of it in the same way.
Sure it would be better if Premiere Pro had all the goodies FCP had (like this feature), but it's a totally different application and so you may have to adjust your expectations.
I'm sure it's not the case of just changing a couple of lines of code in Premiere, unfortunately! Hopefully the "multiple clip parameter editing" and "horizontal/vertical lock" features can be implemented in the future.
That's often the case, but the question is then "when would we have the time to write and test that code when there are 800 priorities ahead of it?" The key is feature requests. The more we get for any one feature, the faster it rises to the top of the list of priorities.
If anyone else would like these please submit feature requests! http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
You have the right idea. Thanks!

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.

CS4/Win: markers are not moved after resizing a clip in timeline

Hello,
when I am resizing a clip in the timeline my markers after this clips in the same timeline are not moved, too.
Bug or feature?
If it is a bug: stilil

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Ok, thanks
But there is a question left: bug or feature? I can't see an advantage of this behavior ... and no solution...
The same behavior in CS5, too?
Neither, is as designed.
CS5 is excactly the same.

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 ;-)

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.

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.

Urgent question about resizing videos in Adobe Premiere

Hello, forgive me for asking such a noob question but i have a presentation due in about 10 hrs and Adobe Premiere is giving me some headaches with the video i'm trying to make!
I am trying to alter the dimensions of a movie in the 'monitor' window (the objective being to put 2 different movies side by side in the same timeline, but that's irrelevent). Screenshot is below
http://s5.largeimagehost.com/display...sXUF&skey=nv28
I've seen it being done before - their should be a border around the frame in the 'Sequence 01' tab that lets you resize it with your mouse. But It's not appearing for me... . is their some hot key or something..? It's probably something really obvious but i can't find it...

You will also find links to many free tutorials in the
Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly
show you how things are done in PPro, including picture-in-picture effects.
Cheers
Eddie

How can I/Is there a way to: apply a preset effect to multiple clips?

I will be editing a music video from this weekend in Premiere Pro CS4, is there a way I can paste a custom preset to multiple clips (selecting hundreds) without clicking each one and pasting/dragging?
If this can be done it's going to save me hours and hours of work!
If I try at the moment by CTRL clicking a few clips is only pastes/drags into 1 of the clips, not all of them!
any help would be appreciated

Yes, see the section
Copy and paste clip effects and
Apply effects to clips in the Premiere Pro Help.

Resizing multiple tables

I missed the original questions so, I open a new thread to give you responses which alas aren't pleasant.
I have a document with 18 separate/discontiguous tables and they are all a little too narrow. I want to resize them all a little wider to fit their columns.
Is there any way to resize multiple tables at once rather than one at a time?
The response is NO
I have tries using Apple-click to select multiple tables & resize them all at once (like we did in AppleWorks) but when I go to resize the rest become inactive & only 1 resizes.
Why are you using the past to speak of AppleWorks? I do the trick at this time with AppleWorks and I will continue to do it for months.
Am I missing something? Or is this onother one of my unanswerable questions. (That'll make #6)
I apologize but I'm unaware of the other five
And here I am trying to change the borders on the tables. I wanna put a cotted line at the bottom of the cells in ALL the tables at once, but ANY changes to all 18 tables at once grinds Pages to a SCREECHING HALT for 30 sec.. Maxing out my 1.6 PPC G5.
Same response, feature unavailable.
Is it surprising ? Definitely NO.
The tables are in fact using a quite clone of the one used in Numbers. So, it's a version 1. It's quite normal that we don't find some features available in a program existing since 1991.
Wow. Apple really needs to work on optimizing this thing to work with larger docs if they want to compete with Word.
If you really want that someone read your messages in AppleLand, you used the wrong channel.
Here we are end users trying to help end users.
To be read by an Apple employee you must use the channel dedicated to this purpose:
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

Getting Multiple clips when importing DV file into iMovie 7

In previous versions of iMovie you could set a preference for importing movie files that either brought it in as one big clip or multiple clips. I don't see this in the new version. When I import a DV file it breaks it into about 30 clips. How can I bring in my file as one big clip?
I would appreciate fast response as I am on a deadline for this project. Thanks!!

There is no answer to this question. Its just the way it is and it stinks. I will continue to use iMovie 6

Sync multiple clips with master clip

I have a multicam shoot with two stationery cameras continually recording for the entire event and a third camera roaming around, getting dozens of individual clips from different locations/angles. ALL THREE CAMERA HAVE SYNCED TIME CODE.
I don't want to treat this as a normal multicam project, since the third camera has dozens of clips (this means dozens of "camera angles" in a multicam timeline). The best way for me to edit these cameras together in post, in my view, is to sync everything up in a timeline, and do the cutting myself.
In Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33), I can sync the continual recordings no problem, because they overlap. But the dozens of clips created from the third camera have to be placed manually or timecode synced one by one.
I have found a kind of a cheat. I create a multicam sequence using all 90 of my clips (synced by timecode) then open the multicam sequence in the timeline. I then manually drag all 88 clips from the third camera down into one layer.
From here, I have two options: 1, edit as a multicam shoot with only three cameras instead of 90, or 2, Create a new, empty sequence, then copy/paste from the multicam sequence to the empty one and edit manually.
Here's my question, now that I've found a cheat: how can I better sync multiple clips with no overlapping timecode to a master clip with master timecode?

I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
@shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/
