Normalise audio for all clips in the timeline ?

Is it possible ? At the moment, I am doing it clip by clip. I want to do it for all and then probably modify separate clips of high noise down or dialogues a bit up.
Selecting all the clips and then going to audio properties disables the Normalise Audio option.

Thanks,
I selected the first image and everything to the left them deleted (event though I could not see anything in the timeline). I then had to replace the first image and could move the timeline to where it needed to be.
Could not see anything in the way but there must have been something somewhere.
Thanks

How do I lower or compress audio for ALL clips?

I'm early in this so bear with me...How do I lower the volume for all the clips at once or at least compress it and set a limit of how loud the volume can get to? Thanks much!

To adjust the gain for a group of clips, select (highlight) all the clips to be adjusted then go to Modify->Levels. The adjustment window will open where you can make either an "absolute" or "relative" adjustment (+ or -)
To add a Compressor/Limiter or Dynamic Processor filter, drag it to one clip then load that clip into the Viewer to make adjustments to the filter. Once you have the settings where you want them, copy that clip in the Timeline (Command c). Now select (highlight) all remaining clips to which you want the filter applied. Right-click on one and select Paste Attributes. When the attributes window opens, click the Filters button on the audio side.

Adjusting audio of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously

Is there a way to adjust the audio volume of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously?

Or you can send the whole things over to Audition and work in multitrack there.
I like to get everything edited in Prmiere and then send the audio (I never bother with a refernce video) to Audition for finish work. There you can apply effects to individual clips, individual tracks or the entire mix. I always put a hard limiter on the Master track at -3dB to prevent clipping. Since this is the last filter in the chain I can boost other clips first and still know that my audio will never be too loud

CS3: Re-connect audio to a clip on the timeline

I have a common question from my strung-out journalism students:
"I have all these clips on the timeline that I've spent ages cutting and ordering. At the time of my first Source Monitor edit, I didn't plan to use their sound so I didn't bring it down with the vision from the source monitor. Now I realise I want to use the original camera sound".
So: once you have vision on the timeline, and the camera sound either wasn't brought from source, or was subsequently unlinked and deleted, is it possible to "re-attach" the camera sound that goes with the vision without having to find the sequence and re-do the edit?
cheers

Harm's method won't work if you've trimmed the clip in the sequence or if you've used multiple instances of the clip in the sequence. There's apparently a bug in CS3 that prevents this from being as easy as it should, but it works better and as expected in CS4. Here's what you do:
Double-click the sequence clip to load it into the Source Monitor.
Press the Q-key to go to the video in point. Note the timecode.
Press the W-key to go to the video out point. Note the timecode.
Select the clip in the sequence and park the CTI on top of it.
Press the M-key to do a match frame operation.
Set the Source Monitor to display either audio-only or audio+video.
Enter the TC of the in point. Press the I-key to set the audio in point.
Enter the TC of the out point. Press the O-key to set the audio out point.
Drag the audio from the SM image to the sequence. Line it up with the video portion of the clip that's already there.
In CS4, you can Q, I, W, O during the match frame operation without having to manually note the timecodes from the clip instance. You should be able to do the same in CS3, but I can't here.

Re-importing synched audio to video clips in the timeline

Hello, i have edited together a project with a whole bunch of clips and i unlinked the audio and deleted it to replace it with music but now my client wants the original audio back.
Is there any way of automatically reconnecting the audio to the selected video files in the time line?

Welcome to the forum robz85!
Fastest way to do this:
1. put the playhead over any video clip you need to add the audio to in the timeline. Doesn't matter where within the clip you set the playhead... just don't move it after step 2 nor move it in the Viewer after step 2)
2. With the Canvas active, type f.
3. connect the audio to the tracks you want to add it to in the timeline window on the left (connect the track buttons) then type F11 to perform a replace edit.
4. If you have filters on those clips, copy the video only clip in the timeline first (cmd+c)... then after you perform the edit, right click on the new clip that includes the audio, and select "paste attributes" from the contextual menu that will show up... add the filter(s) back... or motion attributes if you've changed those).

FCP7; "unmerge" merged audio and video clips in the timeline?

Our TC was way off in some areas due to a bad timecode lemo on set. My editor synched by slate then merged the video with an audio mixdown track using the in points. Now when I export an EDL the original TC from the audio clip is gone, so he has no reference for matching up the audio. Does anybody know of a way to un-merge these clips and restore the original filename (audio takes the name of merged video but reveals correctly in finder) and timecode? Thanks.

what happens if you match frame the audio? I would think it would match back to the source audio clip which you could then use to replace the audio in the timeline.

How do I automatically centre all clips in the timeline?

Hi,
I imported a clip, spliced it up into several clips, added a bunch of effects... and then realized it wasn't centered to begin with. As a result all my clips are positioned off-screen in the exact same manner. Is there a way to automatically centre them? CS5.5
Thanks.

Hm. Are you sure about that?
I just tested this: I imported a clip. I moved it into the timeline and it was aligned properly. I clicked the preview window which allowed me to reposition the clip; which I did towards the right. Then I spliced the clip up into multiple clips and also copied a few splices.
Result: All the clips were mis-aligned to the right. I believe this is what happened initially too.
I highly doubt it's project settings or something of that sort. I have all of those settings saved as custom settings and my source files are recorded identically to files in the past where I used this custom setting with no such problem.

Moving all clips in the timeline

I have a sequence make up of all still images. I need to change and shorten the opening image. I delete the image insert the new shorter image. I select the entire time to the right of the new image (several videos tracks) using the double arrow selector. Then try to move the whole timeline as one block by holding down the mouse on the selection and sliding it to the left. However, it will not move. All I get is a down pointing arrow and can not move it left or right. I seem to be able to move the block up a track though.
What am I doing wrong

Thanks,

Toggling between video clips (not audio clips) in the timeline

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a solution to this small inconvenience I am experiencing in FCP 5. When I have snapping enabled, and press the down arrow key, the playhead jumps to the next audio or video clip in the timeline. I am trying to find out if there is a way to jump between video clips only.
Thank you
-Peter

Thanks,
Do you know if there is a way to make the up/down arrows snap to only the video cuts on the video clips in the highest video tracks in the timeline? Thanks.

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.

How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

Title says it all!
How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
I hope PP is smart enough to do this
Thanks in advance!

Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

Yes, you can select multiple clips then Adjust, Crop, click on "Fit".

Something happened, now I can't select clips in the timeline of my current project(in Elements 4)

I've been working on a project for a few days now, everything's been fine. Last night while editing, something happened when I was trying to add a transition between two clips. Now I can't select or edit any clips in the timeline anymore, and can't add new ones. When I click on the clips in the timeline, nothing happens. When I try to drag the select box around several of them, same thing. It acts like there's nothing to select. Same thing with right clicks, soundtrack mp3s, etc. The clips ARE still THERE though, and they all play fine in the preview screen in real time, and when I drag the slider back and forth along them.
All the clips are already rendered except the one transition I was adding when this started. When I hit 'Enter' to render, though, it says "Rendering 1 of 6 Audio Previews" instead of the usual x-number of video previews. I've not seen that before so it probably has something to do with all this.
It's ONLY with this one project. I can still edit and select clips in all my other projects as before.
I've already tried loading other projects and then coming back to this one, as well as closing the program and re-opening it. My current project is still stuck like this but the others are fine.
Please keep all this info in mind. This can't have anything to do with codecs or the clips being in the wrong format for the program. They're all regular AVI files and MP3s, I've been selecting and editing every single clip on this timeline dozens of times over the past few days with no problems. I'm just suddenly not able to select or edit them anymore or add anything new to the timeline, but they still play normally as previews.
I'm really hoping this is a simple thing where I've just tripped some setting and accidentally saved it that way and it can be easily changed back.

OK, then all that I suggested here:
Now, Exit from PrE, and Shutdown the computer completely. Wait a few moments, and then do a cold boot, launching PrE and Opening that Save_As Project. Do you now have the ability to edit the Clips on the Timeline?
If not, go to the location where you Copied the AutoSave folder, and view the files with Detail View ON. Then, look at the Date/Time of the files (probably will be 5 of them). Choose the last one written, Open that, and test. If no change, work backwards to the oldest.
If nothing is working, the only thing that comes to my mind would be an issue with the display driver, BUT that should affect all Projects, and not just this one. However, updating the video driver is always a good step, and should not hurt anything.
Note: many MP3's can cause all sorts of problems. I recommend always converting them to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and replacing MP3's with those WAV files. One can use the great, free audio-editor, Audacity, to convert the MP3's.
If all of the above tests fail, let us know, and if you get any error, or warning messages, copy those down completely, and post those
all failed too?
If so, there is nothing that I can suggest. It seems that your Project is hosed, and is very likely not recoverable.
Sorry,
Hunt

How do I lock clips on the timeline?

Hi,
I am compiling music videos, taking the best grabs from 6 to 10 takes of a song which the band played along with the studio recording of the song.
The sound track is therefore the synch mechanism.
I am lining all the takes up above each other in synch with the master audio track.
My problem is that when I make cuts in the various takes the clips all ripple backwards and I have to constantly keep re-synching the clips.
I have used this method previously in Premiere Pro 6 which had a padlock symbol at the left hand end of the tracks which was used to lock or unlock the clips on the timeline.
Is there a control key that will do this for me in Premiere Elements and if not, could you suggest another way to get around this problem?
Thanks,
Nick
PS an unrelated question: Can I run Elements 9 on my laptop? (2 gb Ram, 1.66ghz intel centrino duo). I know that the processor speed is lower than recommended but am wondering if it will just run slowly or not at all.
Cheers

PRE does not have a lock feature. By default it ripple deletes (i.e butts the clips either side of a cut). To override this right-click and select clear or use [Shift]+[Delete].
Personally I think you would find the experience unpleasant running on that laptop, but the best thing to do is to install it and see (your licence allows you to install on two machines providing both are not in use at the same time).

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt
