Reconnecting Slowed Clips.

I noticed a lot of people are having problems with multicam edits falling off sync when reconnected. I do projects with both slowed clips and multicam edits. My problem is as soon as the media goes offline and reconnected, the slowed clips fall off sync. No filters no cross dissolves.
This problem NEVER happened with 5.1.4. It started happening when we upgrading everything to 6.0.1. ITS STILL happening, and were all upgraded to 6.0.2! Even brand new project files with brand new footage. Am I doing something wrong here?? Or is it FCP 6???

Possible workaround: Can you remove the speed change before reconnecting and then reapplying after reconnecting? You can even copy and paste this attributes between clips.

  • Reconnected sequence clips just repeat ove

    Good evening all
    After losing the original media for a multi layered sequence due to a firewire drive crash I am recapturing and reconnecting the media to the sequence clips. I was experiencing some success although I am now experiencing a quirky problem.
    The sequence clips of one particular layer just repeat a short and limited video with each subsequent sequence clip. The media file for the clip plays back fine as a QT and the properties of the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC file seem in order.
    The media file I am trying to reconnect does post the message "one or more files did not have enough media to reconnect some clips. Some edited clip items have had their out point adjusted." during the reconnect process although this file is in its entirety and well beyond the small repeating visage.
    Any clues on this one?

    Michael you are right about the head banging possibilities. Fortunately I did come to realize that I could superimpose the correct clip from the browser above the original timeline edits and quickly recut them using the old sequence clips in a lower track as the template. I now have a broader understanding of the reconnection process as a result. I still have now idea what the inherent problem was though.
    You suggest matching the timecode. I did and do generally sync overlying angles in the timeline by dragging or sometimes slipping a clip until it matches the frame action of another. Am I missing an elegant alternative?
    As for the cautions… I do use capture now as I find the timeline a much smoother and quicker way to edit out the unwanted footage (I have never actually used the logging process). Is there a standout issue with the "capture now" process? I did not have the "abort capture…" setting enabled but I do now.
    Thanks! You nailed it!

  • Slowing clips down in final cut express hd

    how do you slow clips down in final cut express hd. i can't figure this out and i can't find anything online to help me, so please explain how i do that.
    thanks.

    yeah and if the mouse is tired and sleeping or asleep or whatever, you can invoke the command j (command=apple key) keyborad shortcut - dont forget to select (click on) the clip you want to work on first.
    (heck, that probably means waking up the mouse...)

  • Reconnect offline clips

    I used the tagging of PSE5 to tag my video clips (same as photos). I also used the move/copy method to store the material (avi files) offline on to DVD's. Due to a glitch in the PSE6 ability to recognize offline files from PSE5 I am bringing all my material back online to external hard drives. Everything has gone fine. I've just about filled up my first 750GB hard drive from the offline material.
    My issue at this point is I have hit some DVD's that the Move option under File dropdown in PSE5 doesn't recognize the DVD's I put in. This may be a DVD cataloging issue. My computer can see the files in the DVD, so there is no problem for the computer to deal with the files. It is just that PSE5 can't see the files for restoring them to an online location. I'm looking for suggestions on alternatives to bring this material on line and still retain the tags I have for them and have PSE5 recognize they are online.
    TIA,
    Bob D

    Apple Discussion- reconnecting offline clips
    Hi Tom
    I have all the media connected except the voiceover. I even find the voiceover clips and I drag them into the browser then I try to reconnect them without luck. I can manually drag one at a time from the browser to the time line to replace those off lines, so I just have to work around it. The reason why I move them around at the first place? Because I need the space in my internal drives for a new project, therefore I want to save the project (including the medias) in my external drive for future editing. Apparently, I am not smart enough to handle it.
    Thank you

  • Slow clips when importing HD

    Hi,
    when I import HD to iMovie, my 1,33 GHz PB isn't able to import it faster then 1/4 of realtime. However, I've read on the forum that it those clips are supposed to be normal again after restarting iMovie. On my mac, this isn't the case. The "slow" clips remain slow, and are unusable. Does anyone have a solution for this? More RAM? Currently it's 1,25 GB, maybe it's not enough?

    ok, an update here. by selecting "standard quality" in the playback-options, I got the clips to play in realtime, without the annoying stopping every 4 seconds. But solving this problem only made two new ones.
    1. Seems like the sounds can't keep up with whats happening. Sometimes it is too fast, and sometimes it is too slow. Any ideas on this one?
    2. If I export the movie, it stops all the time? I exported it both in full quality, and the CD-ROM option. It was almost impossible to watch. Is there a better way to export movies? Apparently I can't burn it, since the movie is HD.
    Appreciate the help.

  • Reconnecting sound clips

    I did something a little bit stupid in the my sequence and am wondering if there is a magical little button that will help me out!
    I orginally dragged clips into the timeline with the idea that I would be redoing the sound from these clips in post as it is pretty dodgy sound from the camera's mic, and then when editing, unlinked the sound from the video and deleted the sound clips.
    I would however, now like to use some of that sound from the original clips and was wondering if there is a way to "reconnect" them to their video clips.
    The long way would be to find the IN and OUT points for every single clip again and this is going to take forever as I took mulitple IN/OUT points from the same shot in the viewer when editing, and there would be at least a thousand to go through. Is this my ONLY option??? Bascially, i'd be editing the scene(s) together all over again
    Thanks

    Put the playhead at the start of the first clip to fix
    Hit "F" to match frame
    Hit F10 to overwrite edit
    Hit the down arrow to move you to the start of the next edit
    Rinse and repeat.

  • Media Manger won't reconnect Merged Clips

    I have a project that has tons of merged clips (Video synced to Audio .wav files). All is well within the project, but if I try to use Media Manager to copy media and duplicate it into a new project, it cannot reconnect the Merged Clips. Video comes through fine, but audio is missing --- getting an unknown error when trying to reconnect clips to the copied file. Any idea what might be going on here?
    Message was edited by: DM

    A few other pieces of info that might help-- the clips DO have reel names (I notice lots of talk about Media Manager problems if there is no reel name). Also, if I try to Reconnect the .wav Audio file to the missing Audio in the New Project, I get a message saying there is not enough Media in the clip to Reconnect.
    Also-- i'm running 6.0.2, perhaps there is a glitch in this version? I'm in the midst of a major project right now, and am extremely reluctant to upgrade until it's complete.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Reconnecting lost clips

    I've got several events on a large external drive.  Apparently some of the clips are still on another (original source) hard drive. I know this because when I turn that drive on, the entire timeline is fine.  When I turn that original source drive off, then I get missing clip warnings.
    The thing is, even with the orginal source drive off, I can click on a "missing" clip and select "reveal in finder" and it shows me where it is on the new external drive.  It's there, but FCP X doesn't recognize it or find it.
    I can't find the commands for "reconnect media."  How do I get the FCP X timeline to recognize the new location of the clip?  These are finished edits, I just want to be able to erase the original drive.

    There is no re-connect media feature in FCP X.
    FCP X expects the clips to be right where they were.
    So if you move them, (outside of FCP X) you have to move them back.
    If you remove the drive they were on, you have to remount the drive.
    If you rename any of the folders, you have to rename them.
    If you change anything, you have to change it back.

  • Reconnecting merged clips???

  • Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet reconnect slow after sleep

    Hello, guys.
    I couldn't get the management of where I work to give me a working WiFi (they offered an insecure, unprotected WiFi... madness), so I had to opt for Gigabit Ethernet. I bought the Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for my 2012 rMBP on OSX 10.8.5. All software is updated via the App Store.
    The adapter is working fine for the most part, but there is something that I find bothering: when the computer wakes up the adapter takes something like 30 seconds to achieve a working Internet connection, which is a pain. It's an issue I've never experienced in any other computer or setup, either wired or wireless, and it makes little sense (if WiFi is able to reconnect instantaneously, why can't this adapter?)
    I don't know if it's a side issue of the adapter having to boot, the need for refreshing the IP address through DHCP or whatever, but it's something that I'd rather find a solution to. Of course, it feels like a first world problem (it certainly ain't critical) but if there is a known workarround I'd like to know.
    Thanks.

    It's not really your computer that is getting the 2Gbps download - it is the router/ modem.
    If you hooked better/ different hardware up you could probably push those speeds around your network too. The trouble is that most residential hardware is gigabit ethernet not fibre. Fibre cards & cable are expensive in comparison.
    The existing hardware may allow you to 'bond or aggregate' multiple ethernet connections into one link to get more speed over ethernet. Obviously this requires more complex routers, switches & a network admin to set it up
    Those speeds sound nice, this bottleneck will mean that other devices on you network can't choke up the whole connection & make other users sad.

  • New Mini, YouTube Slow/Clipping/Buffering

    I just hooked up my mini yesterday and wanted to check out videos on YouTube and every video would constantly take forever to load and once started playing it would stop every 10 second to buffer even though it showed (via the red line) it had buffered beyond what had played. Also if I clicked for full screen it would start buffering over (I think that might be normal?) and then start this whole annoyance over again. I never have this problem on my 6 year old HP desktop. We have decent comcast cable highspeed, I have Roku player with amazing quality and never get this type of behavior. Will someone please advise and suggest what I might be able to do? Thanks

    I have been battling slow wifi performance on my mini for around 6 months now, bought as a media centre it is now just an expensive paper weight! I took it back to Apple, they tested it, no issue on their wifi network.Spent hours trying to confirm throughput, configuration etc, nothing!
    I had given up until my girlfriend got a brand new MacBook Air & she is having the same issues on the wifi network, cannot watch video, not just youtube but off the NAS. No other devices in the house have issues, just the 2 OS 10.6.
    Not sure what to try next.

  • Difficulty reconnecting clips from second project

    Hello,
    Have recently had problems reconnecting clips I would love some help with!
    Have a project comprised of about 20 sequences each with its own bin of clips. Copied 10 of these to a separate drive for a friend to help with the editing. Used Media Manager and all things seemed copied over including the appropriate media files. When he finished working on each sequence I was hoping to simply have him send me his project file and 'reconnect' his sequences and clips back to the original clips on my external drive. _ i asked him to not rename any clips and they all seem to match what they were originally. ( He has added in and out points and subclips)
    Anyway some of the material reconnected but the majority did not. What can I do to fix this problem? (have tried the reconnect option with the match names option de-selected -that didn't work)
    Or is this workflow not going to work? ie: Can two separate projects not reference the same media files?
    Confused...and bug eyed after individually reconnecting 300+ clips ...
    Thanks!!!

    Are the two of you working on identically set up Mac/FCP systems?
    You should be able to make this all work.
    I don't know if Media Manager caused some issues. After running the Media Manager function, did you confirm that the project (from that process), worked on your system, prior to sending it to your cohort? Did you add some identifying appendage to the original project file, which you sent to your cohort...something like 'Project 01_copy'
    Let us know exactly how you utilized Media Manager.

  • Reconnecting clips weirdness no file path listed

    Every time I open my project I have to reconnect 10 clips.
    7 of the clips have no file path. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    At least give us the exact clip names? Something.
    God I wish I did, then I could reconnect the clips. How can I find this out if all it says is "Macintosh HD:" and blank space? Is there some other utility I can use?
    Copying to a new project won't do anything if the file path is broken. Do you know where >the media is? Presumably in your capture scratch.
    yes it's in my scratch.
    I figure if I first make a copy the of project file, open this, then delete unused sequences out it may resolve the issue as the sequences that I need to play work fine. I figure it's trying to resolve clips from sequences I could give two ***** about. Maybe then it would stop trying to locate that data.
    I dunno... I'm a Mac Consultant and this issue has me baffled.
    I even bought FCS Suite to clean up my FCP system, but figured it wouldn't solve this problem and it hasn't.

  • Merged clips won't reconnect

    I have a film project that was shot with with seperate sound. I have gone in and make subclips of all takes in the film transfer and aif audio file. I have then merged each clip using IN points and made a cut using them. yesterday I exported the whole project as an xml and passed the project to another editor. Importing that xml give me what look like the proper clips but the merged clips won't reconnect to the audio properly. And it also looks like all the 'merged' clips have changed from their original lengths (12 secs, 30 secs) to long durations of 48 minutes, 1:09:00... the full lengths of my master clips. Something has gone awry with these merged clips. Can't find much in the archives... anyone seen and fixed any issues with reconnecting merged clips?

    I have search message boards far and wide to find this answer.. the only thing I've found thus far is one user who had this happen said the metadata of his audio clips became corrupted.
