Pasting edited clips from SD sequence to HD Sequence

I've been editing in SD NTSC DV 29.97 and now I'm switching to editing in Pro Res HQ 1080p 23.98. I want to cut and paste some edits from the SD sequences to new HD sequences (source footage is ProRes HQ 1080p converted from HDV on capture) the clips paste in ok and re-size to their native size but the volume on some of the clips goes to zero and the timing changes putting gaps between clips, is there anyway to fix this? I guess its the frame rate change? Its a massive pain to go through and correct it all manually.. Any ideas? thx

Yeah, it is the frame rate difference. FCP will not do the conversion well. Best to use Compressor to uprez this footage, and convert the frame rate.

Easiest was to copy clips from one sequence to another?

Hi,
Instead of copy/paste is their a different, quicker way to move clips from one sequence to another?
Thanks

Hi Patrick, Your always ready to help
No that's not what I'm looking to do. (or maybe I just didn't understand what you wrote.)
What I mean is if I have 4 sequences open and I wanted to move a clip from sequence 2 to sequence 4. What I do now is copy the clip in sequence 2 and go to sequence 4 and paste it.
Is there a easier way?
Thanks

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,
digi

Export clips from a sequence seperately with effects as a batch export in CS 5.5

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is any possibility to export all clips from a sequence/timeline seperately with all applied effects as a batch export or similar in CS 5.5.
I know there is a chance to do that via the project manager, but a far as I know this way doesn't include the applied effects on each clip.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Marc.

The only way to export a single clip with effects is to manually set up each individual export. This applies to all version of PP.

Make sub clip from a sequence?

I am a recent convert from FCP and am used to placing multiple clips on a sequence and making sub clips from the sequence. I shoot a lot of 20 -30 minute interviews and this sub clipping from the time line in FCP was my workflow to select the best sound bites.
What am I missing?
It appears you can only make sub clips from the source window?
Help
Thank you

Thank you, that is so easy - now that you showed me.
Yes as I have several clips from each segment of interviews (especially if they take breaks, or I to need shut off the camera) then I scurb through them all, by subject, which may cross over multiple clips to make sub clips and rate them based on a star system to do final assembly in a new sequence. If do this in the source monitor I would have to load dozens and dozens of clips, one at a time to preview.
Can you suggest a better workflow?
Maybe with Prelude? I have not even opened this app yet

How do I sync the "view size" when I copy clips from one sequence to another in FCE4?

My idea was to edit an advanced clip in a separate sequence (bad idea) and then copy it into the main sequence, but I ran into an obstacle.
For a clip to fit the window in Sequence 1 it is shown at 44%, while in sequence 2 it is enough with 22%. Problem is, when I copy a clip from sequence 2 to 1, it appears twice the size. How can I adjust this? The clip from sequence 2 becomes disproportionately big on the screen when copied to sequence 1.
Thank you for taking your time.

As Studio X pointed out, you open a huge can of worms when you work with sequences of different specifications, but try this -
once the clip has been pasted into the sequence, click on it on the timeline so that it is selected. Now Control-click on that clip, and from the drop down menu, choose Remove Attributes.
When the remove attributes pane opens, check the box for Basic Motion and Distort (if they are not grayed out) and click OK. This should reset the clip size.
If this is successful, you can do this to multiple clips all at once by selecting them, then clicking on any one of the selected clips and doing the above.

Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

Hello fellow editors!
I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.
I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

How do I transfer EDITED clips from one IMovie to another

I have tried to transfer edited clips (with original sound) from one IMovie to another. However, the system transfered the original clips instead of the edited clips.
Does anyone have any tips on how to transfer the edited clips only and not the original clips.
osx 10.3.9 and Imovie 5.0.2

That will copy the original, imported material, not
the edited version. I.e. if I trim an imported clip,
the .mov file will still be the un-trimmed,
full-length clip.
Not the movie Lennart means. The movie Lennart refers to — called the Timeline Movie.mov and located in the Cache folder inside the project — plays the edited Timeline of Project A. (It's a reference movie containing pointers to the audio and video files in the Media folder.) When that Timeline Movie is imported to Project B, it delivers all the edited video and audio of Project A as a single clip to Project B. (He's not referring to the video and audio files in the Media folder, which I think you mean.)
taronger, if all you want is a single clip, another way is to select the clip in the iMovie Timeline and export it to a Full Quality movie. Be sure to turn on the checkbox "Share selected clips only" in the export dialog window. Later, import that exported movie to another project.
I did some trials and found out that transfering edited clips (not original clips) can be done by selecting several consecutive clips in the original movie, and using the copy command. It is then possible to go to the new movie and use the paste command to transfer the edited clips.
Yes, that delivers the clips, but it doesn't deliver shortened clips. It delivers the entire source file of the clip. So if Clip 2 is 5 seconds long but its source file is 3 minutes long you get the entire 3 minute source file.
It's sometimes easiest to export the clips you want from Project A back to the camera, then re-import them to Project B. That accomplishes everything you want, delivering the edited material trimmed to the shortest length possible.
Note that the clips must stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the Timeline and the "Share selected clips only" checkbox must be checked. (Some versions of iMovie fail to stop the export to the camera at the end of the last clip. You may have to stop it manually.)

Copy Paste of clips within a sequence closes the programm saying TickTime.cpp-290

Hello
I got the problem after a while when I want to copy and paste a clip or audiofile within a sequence the programm closes by saying Error TickTime.cpp-290.
It also happens when I open certian sequences.
All video/audiofiles are the same format.
I already used pp-repair.exe like in the forum but the problem isnt resolved. Importing the projectfile in a new project it tells me the same error.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for the answer.
Yes unfortunatly all values were correct and I had not to replace any comma by a full stop.
Do you have another idea?
regards

Editing Clips from ITUNES

So i have a presentation in which I'd like to include video clips. I downloaded episodes of a TV show from ITUNES and downloaded Quicktime Pro. I was hoping to cut clips from the TV episodes and save them as a separate files so i have a few small files. I am able to cut the clips but then when i click on "save" or "save as" nothing happens. Is this happening because ITUNES files are "protected" (and what i want to do is impossible?) or am i just doing something wrong?
Many thanks to anyone that can answer
Windows XP

Purchased iTunes files are protected. I believe you can share them to a limited number of other computers but not copy/paste parts into other movies.
You may want to visit the iTunes for Windows groups to obtain more information about the sharing of such files:

Error Message when trying to view/edit clips from Flip Cam

I am trying to edit some video from a flip cam on Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and it won't play. I've imported it both from an external HD and also the laptop itself and both times I get 2 error messages. First "General Error" then "Error: Out Of Memory"
I've already tried deleting my preferences but that didn't work.
Please help

Having owned several flip cams, I can tell you that the raw video clip coming out of the camera itself is a .avi file. If by chance someone had changed the extension of the raw video clip to mp4, or whatever that FCE (final cut express) likes, that will not change the fact that the clip is unusable without washing it through a conversion process. Im all in agreement on free.

How do I copy editted clips from one project file to another?

I am working on a project. At one point, before I finished I "saved as" with another name to give me a backup. After working on it for a while I found that a section of the video had gotten out of place (a lot of clips and layers). I would like to copy this portion from the other project file I had saved. I can't figure it out. Both projects have the same clips in the project bins. I am using Premiere 6.5, with a Pinnacle DV500 DVD capture card. My computer is a duel P3 800, 512RAM, 40Gig Sys. drive and 480 Gig RAID 0. Please Help!

Throw away everything you don't want to copy, save as a new project, import the new project into the other one.

Is there a way to "liberate" an edited clip from a multiclip?

As in, to get just that clip, no longer contained in the multiclip.
I ask because it is really convenient and organized to pick takes using a multiclip, but then that convenience starts to break down once you need to say, go into after effects. all the clips import, even if you really only need the one. It can get messy fast. If there is a way to free the clip form the multiclip, that would be great.
Feature request? Or does this already exist?

Of course I do, but re-opening that clip and re-editing it to the specified I/O points is not the kind of solution I'm talking about. way too round about.

Editing Clips from an AVCHD Collection - removing timecode

My source clips (a number of .MTS files stored in an AVCHD collection) all have a timecode embedded at the bottom of the frame. How do I remove it for my final edit?

If it's burnt into the video the best way is to zoom in and move the footage to loose the numbers. This will crop the video and you will take a quality hit.

How do I change the clips in my Sequence from DV to 1280x720 422?

Hello newbie-ish question here --Is there a way I can get a sequence back to the original footage's 1280x720 Apple 422 format from 720x480 DV? I thought it was set correctly but the default is DV and that's the way the sequence got edited. How can i get it back to 1280x720 Apple Pro Res 422? Thanks

HI -
Create a new sequence.
Drag any one of your 1280x720 camera source clips to it. FCP will ask if you want to change the sequence settings to match the source. Say yes. Click on the clip that you just placed on the timeline and delete it. You now have an empty sequence with the proper sequence settings.
Now return to your DV timeline, and clicking anywhere on it, type Command -A to select all the clips.
Type Command - C to copy them.
Now go to the new (empty) sequence you created with the proper settings, click anywhere in it and type Command - V to paste the clips from the DV sequence.
If the video clips to not fill the canvas of your new sequence, then select all the video clips and Control - Click on any one of the selected clips. From the drop down menu choose Remove Attributes and from the Remove Attributes window that open, select the check boxes for Basic Motion and Distort and click OK.
Post back if this does not work for you.
