Preserve clip markers in sequence

Clip markers do not get transferred to sequence markers when I edit a clip into the timeline. Or is there any way to achieve this??

Is there any reason why clip markers do not get preserved in sequences?
They're just two different kinds of markers, with different uses.
Ironically, Sequence Markers will show up as Clip Markers when you nest.

See the logged content for clip markers at sequence level?

I'm working on my first long form documentary, and I'm using a work flow a colleague recommended – although he typically works with Avid and an older version of Final Cut Pro, so there may be some areas where this work flow is broken.
I've vascialleted a bit, as I've recently began to use Prelude to do the logging instead of Premiere Pro. Obviously logging in PL is quite a bit easier as it's set up with some handy keyboard shortcuts for doing so. Basically I'm adding clip markers to interview stringouts that contain transcriptions of what the person is saying at that point of the interview. Now that Premiere Pro CC allows me to navigate to the clip makers the same way I could navigate to the sequence markers (Command-Shift-M for previous and Shift-M for next), it's pretty handy and it makes sense to use clip markers since they'll always be there no matter what sequence you put the source footage into.
So, great. All makes sense right? Well...turns out I've run into a bit of a problem.
There is the handy Markers pallete (windows>Markers) which highlights the text I captured for a specific marker, making it easy to navigate or search for a certain question or answer in a given interview. Trouble is, that only shows content at the sequence marker level. While I can navigate to a clip maker within a timeline, the Markers pallette stays blank for that clip marker. Which, is kind of a show stopper in terms of navigating the logged clip once it's in a sequence or stringout. I can still see what's in that clip marker if I hover the mouse over it and wait for a tool tip to show up, but that's not exactly optimal.
I'm thinking about going back to logging in Premiere just to keep the sequence level markers easily searchable at the stringout level. Any feedback? I'd certainly prefer to do the logging in PL, but I'm dealing with a lot of footage here, and I need at least the stringouts to be easily searchable.
Mind you, my colleague isn't a Premiere Pro power user, so he may have recommended a workflow that isn't exactly optimal for the tool. Any insight would be welcomed, but if there were some way for the Markers pallete to show the content of the clip marker, I'd be off and running.

Well, I figure if I can get to both the sequence markers and clip markers with command shift M and the like, I may as well be able to see the content for said marker if content exists. My work flow here is probably a bit of an anomoly – but this is my first long form project, and it being a documentary, you can imagine that there are a lot of assets and stringouts to keep track of. Any shortcuts to getting to the logged content is a huge help throughout the entire process.

Preserving clip markers between machines

I work on a project on both a a laptop and desktop, and keep the project file synced with Dropbox. They each have their own copies of the source footage.
I create markers on one machine; how do I get them to show up when I open the project on the other? I transfer the project file to my desktop, and the markers are all gone.

Jeff,
I've checked my spanned clips and they're behaving the same way as they did before, as separate source clips. Is it expected behavior for them to ever link together or something similar?
Jim,
Your comments conflict with what Wes Plate just recently posted to me in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4898762#4898762

The marker data is stored in XMP "sidecar" files that live either next to or near the MXF media files. The files will have a similar name as the footage they're associated with and will have a .xmp extension. You should be able to copy these files from location A to location B (putting the .xmp files in the exact same relative location) and the markers should then appear for you.

Deleting all Clip Markers in a Sequence

Many of the clips in my sequence have Markers. I would now like to remove them all so my sequence is devoid of Clip Markers.
Mark>Markers>Delete All will happily remove any +Sequence Markers+ I have, but will not remove any of the +Clip Markers+. Is there a way to delete all clip markers from the sequence. Preferably, I would like to remove them from the sequence while leaving them in their original master clips.
Thanks,
Martin

This function will delete all the markers in ONE clip, but not all the markers for all the clips.
Does it, in the process, also remove the markers from the master clip as it appears outside the sequence?

Absolutely.

Clip markers are gone??

Prior to CS6 I would use clip markers (on each video clip - not the sequence markers) to synch up multiple cameras in a sequence. Now in CS6 they are gone. Can anyone tell me where I cam find clip markers in CS6.
Thanx in advance,
Mel

By default, you can now only work with Clip Markers in the Source Monitor.
There is a keyboard shortcut that you can set to return the ability to add them in a sequence, however all other clip marker activity, including navigation, has been removed at the sequence level.
Please file a feature request to have Adobe restore what they took away, which is full clip marker functionality in the sequence.

Applying clip markers in CS6 stops playback

Pressing the 'M' key marks the timeline okay, but how do you mark individual clips on the fly? In timeline, it does not mark clips at all. If I bring the clip into the source view, I can mark with the M key, but it stops playback. It also marks every instance of the clip in the same timeline.

Ok - I see how to add the Clip Marker functionality back.
Now is there any way to see those markers in After Effects CS6 via Dynamic LInk?
I do my audio in Premiere - and it would make things much faster if I could place markers in Premiere that I could then use in After Effects to decide where to trigger varied effects or place other media.
Thanks
Hi reindeer4,
Yes, clip markers are intact with Dynamic Link. Sequence markers are not supported, however. You must import a Premiere Pro project to After Effects for those.
Thanks,

Need to put HD clips in SD sequence without aliasing, any way to do this without converting clips to ProRes?

Editing a 1080p project shot with Canon 5DMkii.
Have a 1080p H.264 sequence that I planned to change to ProRes when all finished, before exporting to make a DVD.
Many shots have problems, and the only way to get around them is to reframe.
I figured, no problem, DVD video is SD, so I have 600+ pixels of frame-height to play with.
Now I have a rough cut and I have put some clips into a sequence preset to 720x405.
Unfortunately, when the original clips are anything other than 100% of their 1920x1080 size, it’s aliased as heck.
EXCEPT when you convert the original clip to ProRes.
I didn’t convert to ProRes before editing because it quintuples the size (the project has 45GB of footage and my internal 1TB HD has limited space), plus on this project the small difference in final-product quality that converting before editing brings wouldn’t matter.
I really do need to reframe many of the shots, and I wouldn’t terribly terribly mind converting to ProRes now, except that when you do, Compressor adds “ProRes…” to the new clip name, so you couldn’t just reconnect the already-edited sequence with the newly converted clips (or could you)?
So,
Can the downsizing of HD clips in an SD sequence be done without aliasing?
If not, can a whole sequence (15 minutes) be reconnected to clips to clips that
have the “Apple prores 444 hq” added to their name? (I tried and the converted clip is grayed out, can’t select it)
3. If not, can the whole 45GB of footage be converted to ProRes, but keep original names unchanged?
If none of the above is possible, any other solution?
Thank you very much

That is a non-standard sequence setting. SD in NTSC land isn't 16:9. It is 4:3 anamorphic. 720x486...anamorphic (squeezed).
Editing H.264 straight from the camera is wrought with errors. Besides the sluggishness of it, the non-RT playback...exporting has all sorts of issues. Not exporting proper sections of footage, not exporting the full sequence (the tail might get cut off), loss of sync upon export...much more. All of those issues have been mentioned on various FCP forums. H.264 is not a codec FCP 7 deals with well at all.
Converting to ProRes before editing is your only way to ensure vary little issues. And converting to ProRes 422 is recommended. Not HQ...not 4444. Your footage will not see any benefit from those formats, even though they sound more impressive. All you will get is larger files. Heck, since you are going to DVD, ProRes LT would be the optimal choice. Even if you went to BluRay, ProRes LT would be fine for that format. H.264 is an 8-bit format...ProRes LT or 422 will get it to 10-bit, and allow for better grading. But ZERO benefit will be had with HQ or 4444...those are for other uses...with higher end formats.
Not enough space? Get another drive. Internal SATA, if you have a MacPro...are 2TB for under $150. You can get an external 2TB for $200-$300.
3. Yes...use MPEG STREAMCLIP to convert the footage to ProRes. 422 or LT are recommended. Then you can reconnect, but you will need to make a new sequence that is ProRes...not H.264.

How do I transfer multiple clips to my sequence, Video only, I don't want the Audio.

I used Ctrl + A in my bin to select all clips, I drag it to my sequence but it puts both audio and video, all I want is the video, and the Source Track Selection only shows when selecting one clip.

Double-click the Desert Footage bin to open it. There are a series of short shots in this bin.
1. Click the Icon View button on the bin to see thumbnails for the clips.
2. Drag and drop the thumbnails in the bin to position them in the order you would like them to appear in the sequence.
3. Make sure the Desert Footage bin is selected. Select all of the clips in the bin by pressing Control + A (Windows) or Command + A (Mac OS).
4. Drag and drop the clips into the sequence, positioning them on the Video 1 track right at the beginning of the Timeline, above the music clip.

What do you think its trying to say? When i follow the instructions, it overwrites the audio.

Project renames sequence and all clips in the sequence when a clip is added

My project is renaming my sequences and the clips in those sequences whenever I add a clip. For example, I have a sequence called "dance section 2", which contains 20 some-odd clips with various names. When I add a clip named "drop from above", the name of the sequence is changed to "drop from above", and the name of every other clip in the sequence is also changed to "drop from above" (video, audio, stills, everything). When I add a clip named "spins", all the names are changed to "spins".
The name of the sequence is changed in both the timeline and the browser, but the names of the other clips are changed only in the timeline. In the browser, they keep their old names. The exception to this is the last clip added before the name changer. For example, if I add "drop from above" to the sequence, and then add "spins", the clip named "drop from above" is renamed "spins" in the browser as well as in the timeline, but the other clips are renamed only in the timeline.
The clips in the sequence also keep their original content - so the sequence looks the same as it did before, but all the names of the clips are changed.
This is only happening in one project. All of my other projects are working fine.
I've tried restarting and deleting preferences. I've also looked at the autosave vault for the project. The backup projects saved after a certain time all behave the same way, and the projects before that time all behave normally. I can't imagine what would have caused this, though, since I've been working on this project all day and nothing's happened to my computer or hard drive or anything.
Also, there are no freeze frames at the beginnings of my sequences (I read another thread with a somewhat similar issue and getting rid of freeze frames seemed to help that person).
I'm in FCP 7.0 on a Macbook Pro.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the discussions...
I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.

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.

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

How to change clip speed w/o moving all the other clips in a sequence?

when I have many clips in a sequence and try to change the speed of a clip (which changes the length) FCE automatically shifts all the following clips. is there a way to turn this feature off?

Not in FCE. FCP 7 has that feature.
Think about it; when you speed up a clip, the duration is shorter, therefore the clip is shorter. When you slow down a clip, the duration lengthens, therefore the clip is longer. How would FCE know that you don't want the clip to remain the same duration?
You'll need to trim the clip accordingly based on the amount of speed adjustment you want.

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
double click a clip missing audio
press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
press the go to end point and copy timecode
right click clip, and reveal in project
double click the original in project
paste in timecode and set in & out points again
drag audio
As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

Resizing clips in a Sequence

This is one of those "this should be easy" I want to resize and move all the clips in a Sequence. And I would rather not do them each.
Thanks

Thanks. I finally figured out. Option>V not Command
Do you ever sleep?

Custom counter not labeling clips in correct sequence

Anyone know why my custom counter feature is no longer assigning numbers to my clips in the right order? I have a series of clips -- say an interview -- I select them all in sequence, and then using custom name and counter I expect to see them numbered sequentially. Instead what I get seems random. It has the right range of numbers associated with the clips but the sequence is all screwy. When I apply the original camera names to the clips, however, it puts them in the right sequence. Could have started when I upgraded to 10.0.3. SUggestions???

Yeah, the problem is still there. I did get a call into Apple last week and had a fairly lengthy and encouraging conversation. They were apparently unaware of this problem but were again able to reproduce the problem on their end. The dude was quite empathetic regarding my frustration that 2 updates later the problem still exists. So... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 10.0.6, or better yet 10.0.5b.
