Probably everyone can answer this question

Hello everybody out there,
As I can't find a clear answer in my FCP-manual, I'll ask my very simple question here...
What I want to do is select a segment (V, A1, A2)in my timeline, ripple delete it and then paste insert my selection into another part of the timeline. Pretty basic I should say.
As I like to do this as fast as possible and using only my keyboard, I tried it the way I used to do it on the AVID.
So, in this case:
*I make an IN-OUT selection with 'x'
*I ripple-delete with the delete button
*I set an IN-point somewhere else in the timeline, where I want my selection inserted and press 'arrow-V'.
And then some old selection appears, instead of the segment I had just ripple-deleted before!
So what am I doing wrong?
Or am I asking too much wanting to insert paste the same selection as I just ripple-deleted, without any mouse-movement?
And in case it's not possible... what will be the fastest way then?
Best regards,

For the record, the drag-then-Option method is just one keystroke. That's one long keystroke and one long mouse click.
The other method is three keystrokes and two mouse clicks. (And you have to make sure your AutoSelect buttons are in the correct state for the tracks you want to paste the clips to. If not, then there are more mouse clicks involved.)
Not that I'm counting, mind you.

    Was is the proper script for the main menu's "Play Movie" that will resume after the show has been started?
    Beleave me, I just all confused about scripting, some other websites have not been too clear for me.
    -Eric

    YOU OWE ME 25 BUCKS MISTER, HERE IS YOUR SCRIPT:
    Ill break it down for you so you can understand the purpose of each part and why its there.
    1 Goto 3 if (GPRM 1 = 0)
    2 Goto 5 if (GPRM 1 != 0)
    3 mov GPRM 1, 1
    4 Jump Track 1 (insert your track name here)
    5 mov GPRM 1, 0
    6 Resume
    There you go, now for the dissection:
    1 Goto 3 if (GPRM 1 = 0) This basically says, if the value of GPRM 1 is equal to 0, then jump to line 3 in the code, if the value of GPRM 1 is not equal to 0, go to the next line. Since the value of GPRM 1 will always be 0 when you first play the DVD, it will always jump to line 2 the first time around.
    2 GoTo 5 if (GPRM 1 != 0) This is saying if GPRM 1 is not equal to 0, go down to line 5 of the script.
    3 mov GPRM 1, 1 This is what is executed after line 1 if in the first line, GPRM is equal to 0, this is now taking GPRM and adding a value of 1 to it.
    4 jump track 1 After GPRM has a value of 1 added to it, it is going to jump to your track and start playing at the beginning of the track, just as a normal PLAY MOVIE button would do.
    5 mov GPRM 1,0 This is resetting GPRM 1 back to zero for the next time around. This is where the script jumps to after you have returned to the menu, if you remember in the first part, the script reads the value of GPRM 1, since on a return to the menu, GPRM 1 now has a value of 1, meaning that in line 2, GPRM is not equal to 0, and it will jump to line 5 in the code. after executing this and resetting GPRM to 0, it will jump to the following line:
    6 Resume. Your track will resume to where ever you left off before coming to the menu. viola, your now neck and neck with the big boys.
    Hope this works, I tested it out and it worked for me. You can email me if you want and I will send you the actual script that I saved. It is important to remember that you need to set this as a pre-script on the track you want it to effect.

  • Importing EDLs and Reconnecting Media... Who can answer this question?

    Hi, happy holidays! What am I missing here:
    I have an EDL with in and out points from a number of different source files.
    I import the EDL in Final Cut Pro as a sequence.
    I click on the sequence. The edit decisions can be seen in the timeline, with all of the source files designated as offline.
    I select the timeline and attempt to reconnect the media.
    The media reconnects, no problem, but the edit decisions aren't in place. In other words, all of the media files begin at the beginning of the source media files (i.e. 04:00:00:00), rather than at the edit decision in and out points for each of the edits in the timeline.
    Surely I'm just missing a step here, right?
    Thanks, Mtbakerstu

    Hi Jerry,
    The source files have been have been re-encoded with a different codec, but they are exactly the same insofar as duration of the source files, and the timecode hour and frame rate they have been assigned, as well as the name I have assigned the files.
    I am simply trying to trick the EDL into recreating a timeline which utilizes source files which have been encoded differently than the original source files... And the timeline is recognizing these files.... only it won't cue the files up to correct timecode point in the files.
    Hope that makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Mtbakerstu

    . What is the difference between channel dri'ven (T5400) and 2 channels dri'ven (P5800)
    2. The 5400's have tweeters (but are channel dri'ven) while the 5800 does not (but are 2 channels dri'ven), which will be giving out the better sound?

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

    " then why have the £2.99 apps not changed prices? "
    The app developers and Apple can choose to price their product however they like.  Reasons could be market conditions, costs ( legal, taxes, structure, licensing,etc), simple profit strategy, market positioning, etc.  They could just decide that they need more profit.  All businesses have this freedom and exercise it.
    "Looks to me as if I'm getting ripped off. "
    Not any more that with any other product or service you buy.  Everyone prices their product/service as they see fit.  the consumer can then deice to purchase or not.
    "Can you guys at Apple please answer this question? "
    No.  Apple will not respond to you here at all.  This is a user forum.
    They certainly will not explain their pricing strategy to your in any case, just as most any other company does not.

  • "You did not answer this question completely" warning

    Hi All,
    Sorry for bombarding the forum of late.
    I have another issue coming up on this current piece. I have
    a set of questions that are able to be answered in a random order
    through a grid type layout. A little like jeopardy. The problem
    hapens like this: when the learner clicks on the initial Q they
    jump to the appropriate slide and answer the question no problem,
    and once answered, they jump back to the question grid. This works
    fine, unfortunately, when they click the next question they jump ok
    but the question displays an error "you did not answer this
    question correctly" and they can't click the choices. I believe i
    checked and unchecked all the appropriate places, but I am not
    sure.
    Any advice would be great.
    Regards,
    Ryan

    Have you configured your Quiz Settings to allow backward
    movement? That's required when the user is not moving forward
    linearly.
    You should also play with the options in the Required
    dropdown in the Quiz Settings until things work as desired. That
    seems to control whether Captivate lets you jump over questions or
    not, as your random access scheme would require.
    I imagine it needs to be set to "Optional - the user can skip
    this quiz" but there may be another setting that also works for
    your needs.
    Cheers,
    John

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?

  • HT3523 what does the meaning of "you need to install additional software to open this type of file." did i have to upgrade it or compressed the video or i have to upgrade my macbook? please answer this question. thank you :)

    How to changed old apple ID in AppStore? I've already creat new one's but when I go to the AppStore the old apple ID always appear. Hope you can answer my question. Thanks godbless

    No, your accounts will remain separate, any content that you download via either account will be tied to that account - so each account will only be able to authorise its own downloads on your computer's iTunes, redownload them, download updates to its apps, and make in-app purchases in its apps.
    Is there are particular reason why you've created a new account ? If it's due to, for example, no longer having access to your old email account then you can update the email address on an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (click the Edit button to the right of your id at the top of your account's screen), or via http://appleid.apple.com . If you want to re-use the email address on the account that you've just created then you will need to change that first

  • Can anyone answer this question regarding MAX RAM?

    My old iMac SE DV graphite was purchased and delivered in January, 2000. The original order catalog (which I kept) claimed that it was "expandable to 512mb", as were all the 400mhz G3 slot-loading DV models in various 'flavors' including my Graphite Special Edition model. Also, both / all versions had the ATIRage 128 accelerator with 8mb SDRAM.
    The only differences I can discern are that my Graphite has more ram (128mb) and had a slightly bigger hard drive (13GB on the graphite vs 10GB for the 'fruit').
    Note: I have since replaced the hard drive with a 20GB since the original died within the first 2 years.
    Also, I am running in 10.3.9 most of the time but still have OS 9.2.2 in the machine.
    On this disussion site and other places (including MacWorld articles) I've seen conflicting statements as regards the MAXIMUM RAM my graphite should/could have. Some say 1GB (2x512) and some say 512 (2x256).
    Can anyone once and for all, settle this question for me so that I can make an intelligent purchase?
    (and thank you for the info re: PC100 as the way to go, not PC133)
    Thanks & Peace to all.

    This question was answered in your other post by me. Max RAM is 1 GB.

    Yes, it can.  Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
    BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.
