P2 Transfer Idles on select clips - P2 transfer issues in 5.1.4

Hi this is my first HD/p2 project. I'm having an issue where some clips are idling out when i try to tranfer them to .movs. What's weird to me is that the first day of the shoot, all P2 transfers to .movs went fine. then on the second day for some reason, some of the files wouldn't transfer. And it seemed a bit random which ones didn't. It wasn't based on Folder location or anything. One file would tranfer then the next one wouldn't. I couldn't see any pattern or connection to which file would transfer and which wouldn't. I clearly have all the files on my external (the cards were rented) because I can watch them in the P2 import window. and it's always the same files that don't transfer. I've tried redoing it in another project, I've tried moving the CONTENTS folder to a new drive and then try to re transfer to no avail. Any suggestions that don't involve buying 3rd party software?

#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.

  • How do I pre-render only portions of the timeline or selected clips?

    I'm switching from Vegas Pro to Premiere Pro. In Vegas, you select a portion of the timeline, then hit control-B and it pre-renders that segment.
    In Premiere, you hit enter, but it doesn't pay attention to the selected clips, it just pre-renders the entire sequence.
    This wouldn't be such a big problem except I'm managing projects that are fairly long, with 20-30 sequences and 20 or so nested sequences in each project and I'm switching between around 18 different projects for a series of 23 or so videos.
    These vids are already taxing my system resources with only a few minutes or so (referencing about 80-120gb of source footage), but my office comp is kinda weak.
    The problem is that when I pre-render a nested sequence and bring it back to the main timeline, I have to pre-render it *again* after making the next set of adjustments (ie color correction, transitions etc). Then I have to do it AGAIN when I copy it to another timeline for another similar project.
    Every time, it can take as long as 15 or 20 minutes (my video card is an nVidia GTX 560 Ti, it has CUDA, but prem doesn't support it for some reason).
    When my main timeline glitched out, forcing me to split into different projects, it took me almost 4 hours just to copy things into place with the additional 20 minutes to load the glitched file.
    Then I had to go and pre-render everything again to work my edits back into place.
    Even when everything is 90% correctly laid out, I still have to wait for the entire sequence to finish pre-rendering.
    As above, in Vegas Pro, I just select a portion of the timeline and the pre-render sticks to that area.
    I saw an article that said you could create in and out points and use that for rendering, but it doesn't seem to be a CS6 thing.
    I heard that Adobe was trying to keep CS6 up to date as a parallel thing to CC. Surely I don't have to switch to a $600/year subscription just so I can pre-render portions of the timeline like a lower-end competitor program has had for something like 5 years...?
    What am I missing? There has to be a way to do this simply.

    Are you sure?
    I have only 3 options on my Sequence menu.
    The first is: Render Effects in Work Area (default shortcut - Enter)
    Then: Render Entire Work Area
    and: Render Audio
    No other Render options are available from that menu.
    Oddly, those two things are virtually identical. One of them shows 52 clips, the other showed 57 clips. With 26389 frames (approximately...) ETA is around 20-25 mins. That's not very workflow friendly.
    It is smart enough that if I pre-render once, making minor changes later makes for much less pre-rendering work, but because I'm working with so many similar projects and sequences, all of them end up needing to be completely re-pre-rendered even if I'm doing a copy-paste and I need to tweak a few little things in one area of the timeline.
    This was especially evident recently when in a 3 hour period, I had to go through 4 revisions and needed to keep my original iterations because the person who made the broad, sweeping decisions was making really bad decisions and I knew I would end up going back to my original plan and making a few comparatively simple changes (which is exactly what happened right after the 3 hours).
    Out of 3 hours, I could have lost a good hour and a half just waiting around for pre-rendering stuff that hard already been pre-rendered, but because it had been copy-pasted, Prem couldn't see those previous pre-renders.
    I actually only lost around 40 mins. But I had to reshoot footage, including setting up lights and camera angles, plus import and do color correction again thanks to no round-tripping to speedgrade and having shot in other areas with those cameras...
    If I had been doing it in Vegas, I would have spent only around 10 minutes doing those pre-renders. Oh and Vegas can use my GPU... I'm an Adobe guy mainly, so it's frustrating to see Vegas win on silly niggles like this.

  • Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?

    Hi all,
    I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
    Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?  If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
    I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
    Thanks,
    digi

    Thanks Jim and Bill,
    In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
    These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
    I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
    Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
    What a can of worms.
    Thanks,
    digi

  • 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,

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

    Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
    Many thanks.

  • Multicam Clip - Nudging Selected Clip Moves Unselected Clips

    Been having problems now for a while with on several projects when I need to manually align clips in a Multicam Clip. For instance when creating the Multicam Clip FCPX doesn't get some of the clips aligned 100% correctly. When I attempt to select a particular clip and nudge it it starts moving all the clips to the right of the selected clip. Suddenly I find the multicam is a complete mess and have to start again. I have to constantly fine work arounds because of this. It's driving me crazy and making what would be a very quick process with the help of FCPX audio align feature a huge nightmare.
    Anyone else come across this. It doesn't happen all the time. And I've haven't been able to single out what starts causing it. It doesn't seem to be linked to a particular type of clip as it happens on many different formats such as 4K, 1080, mov, avchd etc.
    I've shown this to Apple technical support on several occasions and they were not sure what is causing it, but did witness it themselves. I do believe this to be a bug and it's driving me crazy because it's wasting so much of my time. After spending hours finding work arounds and manually readjusting clips again and again, I would actually get this done much faster doing it 100% manually like I used to do in Adobe Premier CS6. Or perhaps use Adobe Premier CC which has audio align?

    Thanks for the trying Luis. Much appreciated.
    It must be something in my footage or some combination of something I'm doing.
    Looks like I'm going to have to spend some time trouble shooting this to figure out what's causing it if other people aren't having the same issue. Apple was unable to reproduce it also.
    Ya, the position tool is selected. I don't think it has anything to do with how I'm manipulation the footage itself. It has to be some weird combination of events together causing this. I'm wondering if it's something in the GH4 footage. I thought it may be only happening when I have GH4 4K footage mixed with 1080 but yesterday I had a multicam clip with only 1080 and it was happening.
    Or it's something specific to my laptop and FCPX.
    I'm going to make a quick demo video and post it for reference. Maybe someone can see something I'm doing wrong or at least show what I'm doing so someone can try to reproduce it.

  • Share selected clips only button not enabled for videocamera

    iMovie HD 06. I have 3 adjacent, no transitions clips from one iMovie that I am trying to "share" back to the video camera (I had manipulated/extracted and added audio effects to these 3 clips, which don't cut and paste from existing iMovie to a new project) plan was to share to tape, then reimport from tape back to a different iMovie (to at least get the audio back). Unfortunately the "share selected clips only" button is never enabled. Really don't want to share entire movie. Any ideas?

    Well that would make too much sense! iLife 05 Quicktime did not maintain widescreen so I was not keen on trying, but (as you probably knew) iLife '06 quicktime is a nicer beast. Actually went into Apple Store and turned out that,more or less, a combination of forum suggestions........WORKED! So to others that have not been able to cut and paste clips that have had audio extracted, etc.with iLife '06: put playhead a bit before your targeted consecutive clips, click and drag from below the audio tracks upwards and to the end of the target. File, Export, Quicktime, Full Quality, Share. Pick your location to share to. And there you go. Then open a new/existing project, Import (find your desired clips), Open. Your clips with audio, special effects all import without a hitch.
    Have you tried it?

  • Share selected clips will not function correctly

    I have a very large iMovie with a lot of clips, each of which contains several chapter stops. If I share only selected clips to iDVD, the chapter stops are scrambled and don't correspond to where they should do. Why is this?

    I'll venture a deduction. Since chapter markers (and other edits) are stored as reference points in a master document, if the underlying sequence is disturbed there may be unexpected consequences. For example, if you had a chapter marker at the one minute mark of a movie and then removed 30 seconds clip, then the one minute chapter marker may wind up at the old 1:30 mark.
    If you have Quicktime Pro, you could Share/Export the iMovie as a Full-Quality Quicktime file, then all the chapter markers will export in the correct location, and you can use Quicktime Pro to cut out sections as desired. I'm guessing the chapter markers will still be okay because they've been added to the timeline in the Export process.

  • Share selected clip?

    iMovie 6 had a 'share selected clip' option if you just wanted to export a small(er) portion of your project. I can't seem to find this in iMovie 09. Can it be done?
    The reason i want to do this is because i'm making a DVD, so in iDVD i want to access small portions of my 1 hour movie to include within the drop zones. I don't want to share the whole movie to the media browser just to be able to access very small portions of it.
    Any help appreciated.
    Grant.

    I've been having a good look, as I thought it would speed up some of the jobs I do using it, but sadly, I couldn't find a way to do that. Maybe it is possible but someone with a bigger brain than I might be able to tells us.
    In the meantime, you can just make a new project and select the part of the clip you want (pressing 'e' sends the selection straight to the timeline and share form there - hideously tedious when you do it several times, especially when you just delete the last clip you used from the timeline and it tells you you're updating a shared project.... every time zzzz there must be a way to turn that annoying feature off surely

  • Multiple glitches, e.g., suddenly can't select clips or precision edit

    I suddenly am unable to select clips or parts of clips - the yellow outline no longer appears around the selected frames. When I click on precision edit, the lower screen no longer appears. Have lost a number of edits to a project, for example, the title and parts of clips that I'd already edited have disappeared. Then the program crashed.

    I found the latest version of iMovie on the Apple website, downloaded and installed it. I'm now able to select clips and use the precision editor on new projects, but not able to precision edit the project I was working on when it crashed. I will start over again with the project.

  • Marking an in or out point in the event browser changes the selected clip

    I'm getting quite infuriated with this issue at the moment. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or I'm doing something wrong.
    I've created collections of subclips by tagging ranges with keywords in the event browser. I'm now trying to edit these onto the timeline. I find the clip I want in the browser and use JKL and IO to mark the in and out point of the actual part of the clip I'm going to use. The problem I'm having is that sometimes - not all the time - pressing I or O changes the selected clip in the event browser.
    Any ideas what's going on?
    Many thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer.

    Changes how? Post screen shots of what you're seeing and what you expect to see.

  • Split event before selected clip grayed out

    When editing movies, the option "split event before selected clip" is always grayed out...can anyone help???

    The reason to split an event is to make the footage easier to find when you start making projects. For example, if you shot a birthday party on the afternoon and a football game at night, they might import into the same Event (based on date). You could select the first clip of football and right-click/Split Event Before Selected Clip. Now you have two Events...a birthday party event and a football event.
    This has nothing to do with sharing and projects.
    A single project can use clips from many events.
    And you can make many projects from the clips in a single event.
    The project does not duplicate the footage that is stored in the Event, it just references it.
    A project is really a text file that is a recipe for building a movie. The recipe is executed when you "Share" or render your movie.
    For example the Project file might say
    "Look in Event XYZ and grab frames 1 through 200 from the third clip.
    Add an audio track from iTunes, and mute the audio track from the Event.
    Add a title that says this or that.
    Apply some color correction in these parameters.
    Now look at Event QPR and grab the second and third clips, but trim off the last 10 frames."
    Etc.
    Hope this helps.
    If you want to share multiple movies from an Event, you just create multiple projects that reference the event. Choose the frames you need by dragging and dropping. And then share the projects.
    No need to get QuickTime Pro involved.

  • Where to change duration multiple selected clips

    In previous answers I've read if you have selected all clips (Cmnd A) and you want to change duration of all still images you press
    Ctrl D (change duration) but WHERE on the screen do you change it. If I move the playhead it looses its Ctrl D command. I cannot change the seconds in the timer on the timeline either...? Thanks, Pim

    I'm sorry Tom, what is the dashboard. Is it in the middle of the screen above the timeline, with the green numbers (hrs:minutes:seconds:frames). If I do what you suggest these numbers turn out blue (next to the blue numbers the sign of a clip with handlels pop up) but when I try to enter the numner there, or in tne Info screen on the upper right sight where its says Duration, I cannot enter any number. It unselects...?
    Nor in the Timeline a cannot drag one of the sides of one of the selected clips (images).
    So I got stuck after Cmnd-A (select all images), Ctrl-D...
    Regards, Pim

  • Can't select clips in project

    Several times now, I've run in to a problem where I can't select clips in the project.  I can click everyewhere else, I can chnage and use other tools, but I can't select a clip!  I've tried dragging a box and clicking directly on the clip, but no luck.  A restart fixes the issue, but it's happened many times.
    Any suggestions?

    I forgot about the C key... I'll try that next time.  I had the select tool (A) selected, so it should have worked.  With a restart everything is fine now, but it's odd that it's happened several times.  I also try things like switching apps, resize the window, change tools, switch projects, but nothing seems to bring it back (except a re-start.)

  • SCP log file transfer issues after upgrade

    We upgraded out AsyncOS from 6.3.3 to 7.1.3 and now we are encountering log transfer issues with 2 out of 3 WSA's. Also the log rotation is set at 3GB but is rotating at 1GB. Anyone have any suggestions?             

    Hi Dominick,
    FIrst look at your log subscriptions for the access logs. Log into the GUI -> System Administration -> Log Subscriptions -> Access Logs highlighted in blue on the left side of the window. Check that your configuration is set to your needs. Next we need to review what is taking place when SCP tries to send the logs to the destination by reviewing the System Logs also located within the log subscriptions. Is the destination a Windows or Linux device ? If it is a Linux device you may also want to look into var/log/secure for the log information there as well.
