Paste video changes to multiple clips

I have a series of still clips strung together. I have made adjustments to the color of the first and would like to apply the same adjustment to the other 400 or so clips. I can copy and paste to any other clip but paste is greyed out if i have 2 or more clips selected. any thoughts?

Very strange! Had used this approach previously and it worked. Went back and opened a project at random. Tried the work flow again and it wouldn't work. Switched to a different clip and added some of the same clips and photos from the first. It worked fine this time. Thought it might have something to do with transitions and/or background music. So I added the same ones used in the fist project selected. Work flow still worked. Looks like this is an area for further testing/discussion.

Applying one video filter to multiple clips

How do I apply just one video filter to multiple clips on a timeline in FCP7? "Copy and paste attributes" does not give me the control to select just one filter to apply, for example there is a color corrector and sharpen filter in the copied clip and all I want to paste is sharpen.

Double click on a clip on the timeline that has the sharpness filter with the settings you want to apply to additional clips.
When that clip has loaded to the viewer, click on the filters tab. You will see a list of all the filters you have applied.
Now, on the timeline, select all the clips you want to apply that filter to (you can hold down the Command key while clicking on the clips to select multiple clips).
Once the destination clips are selected, move your cursor to the Viewer window Filters tab display, and click down on the Sharpness filter and drag it to any one of the selected clips on the timeline.
It will be applied to all clips.

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

Applying video filters to multiple clips in Final Cut Express HD

Is there a way to select multiple video clips and add a video filter to all of them? Example: we have a movie that was recorded in 2 different widescreen aspects ratios. Can I change them to the same aspect ratio easily?

I can't say for FCE, you may want to post in that forum. But in FCP, the method for applying filter(s) to multiple clips is to apply the filter to one clip then make the needed adjustments on the filter(s) in that clip. Next, right-click on that clip and select "Copy" from the contextual menu. Next, select all of the other clips to which you want to apply the same filter(s) and settings. Right-click on one of them and choose "Paste Attributes" from the contextual menu. When the Attributes window opens, choose Filters, then click OK.
To apply the same filter to several clips (without settings) at the same time, select the clips in the Timeline, then drag the filter(s) from the Browser to the clips.

Apply/paste cell metadata into multiple clips?

Hi everyone,
I'm logging, and as always I have some identical logging data (metadata) that needs to be input for dozens of clips. Let's say, "wrong scene # in slate". The manual way to do this is Cmd+V and Return (or Ctrl+V and Enter) for every single clip. Is there an automatic way to do this? If there is, I couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm using the latest (7.2.2) PPro CC.
For comparison, this is the Avid way.
Thanks!

Hmmmm, you helped me got to the/a right answer: I kept trying to input values normally, in the bin window. If you select multiple clips, as soon as you click on one of their fields to edit, the selection reverts to that individual clip.
If I input the values in the Metadata panel, it works as you described.
I still think it'd be slicker to be able to do this while staying in the bin. I'd like confirmation from others if there is a way to do it or not. I now know one way to do it, would be good to know if there are more

How do you match the video duration of multiple clips to match the audio?

If 'Windows Movie Maker' could do this..... come on! There's gotta be a way. I have multiple video clips that equal a duration of say 10 minutes. My audio file (that consists of 2 songs) equals say 7 minutes. HOW DO I SELECT ALL VIDEO CLIPS AND MATCH THEIR TOTAL DURATION TO EQUAL THAT OF THE AUDIO?

HOW DO I SELECT ALL VIDEO CLIPS AND MATCH THEIR TOTAL DURATION TO EQUAL THAT OF THE AUDIO?
It's called "editing".
If you don't want to do it, hire someone or fire up Windows Movie Maker.
On the other hand, Apple seems to be headed down the "design the software for the lowest common denominator" path lately. Perhaps Final Cut X can do this? You might ask over in that forum.

Copy Video filter to multiple clips

How can I copy the color correction filter all the clips?
I can add the filter to all the clips by selecting them and going to Effects>Video Filter> Color>color correction and the filter show up in every clip. But when I adjust the white using the dropper it apply it only to the clip I have selected or have double clicked if all are selected.
I can Modify>copy filter> 2 ahead, but how do I apply that color correction to all the clips?
Thanks

FCP Forum probably better spot for this one.
Anyways it should work across the board, that said, however, unless the clips are all pretty much matched well, color correction settings for one clip will not be the same as other clip, what I usually do is save the general settings as favorites, drop them on a clip then check each clip for any further tweaks

Applying an audio or video effect to multiple clips at once

Hi
Im an AVID user trying to transfer my skills onto FCP.
On AVID, to apply an audio or video mix to a number of cuts at once, you would mark an in point and an out point which encompasses the cuts you want to apply the effect to, then select "apply transition in to out"
Is there a FCP equivalent of this function or is it only possible to apply one effect at a time?
Thanks in advance.

Select the clips and use Modify>Levels. Or the keyboard Control-brackets to go up and down.
For your transition issue you need to do this

Changing multiple clips

I have figured out that I can paste an effect across multiple clips... but I have not figured out how to change, for instance, a "Motion" attribute like "Opacity" across multiple clips at once... is there a trick I'm missing, or do I need to pick a similar "effect" and paste it across the clips?

Once you've adjusted the opacity on one clip, copy it (Command c) then select (highlight) all other clips on the Timeline to which you want to apply the same opacity levels. Right-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes. When the Paste Attributes window opens, click on Opacity.
If there are other attributes you want to paste to the other clips, click those as well.

How to apply Time Remap to multiple clips simultaneously

Quite often after trimming many different clips for a wedding video I will then want the majority of them slowed down to a 50% speed. I know how to apply the Time Remap Speed % change in the Motion Tab, but have yet to figure out how to make the change to multiple clips simultaneously.
Thanks for your help!

You can apply a speed change from one clip to multiple clips by copying the first one, then pasting attributes (option + V, then select speed from the list) onto as many clips as you have selected.
Just be aware that this will ripple your timeline by extending all of your clips. FCP keeps the original out point of the source clip, not the out point of each cut on the T/L.

Audio extract on multiple clips causes iMovieHD to crash

I recently imported some Digitial Video pieced together multiple clips. Everything was fine until I decided to selected multiple clips and extract audio. As the last clip finished, the application crashed and tried to submit an error report to Apple. I sdd my commentary, but the send/submit button on the lower right remained greyed-out, so I couldn;t repor tthe error. I tried the whole process again, except only selecting maybe 5 clips totaling 10 minutes, but the same two probelms occurred again- crash and failure to allow report of the crash. I am using that latest 10.4.6 build on my Spring 2005 iMac G5.

Hi Marc - welcome to the forum!
My first question would be: do you really need to extract the audio? Explain what you have in mind, because there may be no need to do it.
Because iMovie now employs what is called non-destructive editing, when you extract the audio, you are not only extracting from the visible clips in your Timeline, but also from the underlying source clips (which may be much bigger). This could therefore be a heavy task, causing the crash.
Not sure about the greyed-out button.
Is your project saved to your internal drive?

Pasting Speed Change attribute to multiple clips

Since the FCP7 upgrade, I can no-longer paste speed changeattribute onto multiple-selected clips and have them ripple accordingly downthe timeline. I often have to match my video track time to the audio track timeand normally do the math to find what percentage the clips have to belengthened, change the speed on the opening clip, copy that clip, select theremaining clips, and paste the speed attribute to the selected clips. Before 7,they would change speed as well as length, now pasting the speed attribute onlychanges the speed and not the length of the selected clips, even when 'Ripple'is checked...
it's a serious time killer to have to do them one at a time...
This issues has been posted by atleast 2 other posters and hasnot received any replys. Pleasehelp us.
thanks

Sorry KV, I don't think you can do that anymore. Most folks really didn't like the old speed handling functionality pre FCP 7 and were seriously pleased when it was reinvented ... unfortunately "you can't please all the people all the time". Why not just nest the video track and then apply a single speed change to the whole nest?

How to change Opacity Blending on multiple clips...??

First the problem:
Whenever I open a Premiere v6.5 project, CS4 does a "conversion."
Maddeningly, during this process, it changes the Opacity\Blending Mode of every single clip in the project to "Color" instead of leaving it at "Normal."
Since I am working with Stereo (3D) footage with a different camera on V2 & V1, I always have at least two, and often many more, video tracks (for titles, etc).
This means I have to go through every single clip on every single video track and reset it to Normal before I can proceed with the project! This can be upwards of 500 clips.
PITA!!
1) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening & how to prevent it?
or,
2) Is there a way to change this setting in all the clips at the same time?
Whenever I select multiple clips, no Effect Settings (or whatever Shift 5 is called) appear. Only there for single clips.
TIA,:-)

Do one clip, copy (rightclick) the clip, select all the others and paste attributes.

Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Here's my situation:
I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

If I create a series of edits in one video, can I copy and paste those edits into multiple videos?

Hi there,
I've tried doing a series of queries to find out my answer, but I think my knowledge of feature names is not good enough to create the correct search.
I am in a band & use Premiere primarily to edit our videos together for our YouTube channel. At the end of each video we have a "bumper" of sorts that features tiles of recent videos. Is there a way that I can copy/paste the group of edits/clips/transitions across different Premier projects?
I know that I can create a static bumper and import that video file. The issue here is that the content will remain the same in the bumpers of every video. I want to copy the animations and text that I've created that says "Watch our latest live performance" "Watch our most recent cover song" etc. The videos that those animations highlight change as the weeks go on.
Any help you can lend would be most appreciated!

Hey Jim,
Really appreciate your speedy reply, thank you so much! I'm watching the AdobeTV video on nesting sequences & it seems like this is precisely what I am looking for.
Thanks for teaching me something new & helping me save a lot of time going forward!
