Red line between in/out point in timeline

I am cutting clips down in the timeline. parking playhead, control V to make cut, >X to select remainder of clip. hitting X inserts in/out points on most coips but, on some of the clips a red line appears between the in/out points and the in/out points cover more than the remainder of the clip. Why is it doing this? have not found an answer in my FCP book on the discussion boards.

Sounds like a split edit - look that up in the manual and see if it's what you're seeing. I've never used one on the timeline but I suppose it should be possible. Does it go away if you set new in and out points with plain "i" and "o"?
In fact I just tried it and it looks like what you describe. You must have slipped and done a "Control-i" or some such for a video-only edit point.

How to delete the line between the last point and first point?

How to delete the line between the last point and first point?
I want to draw a curve many times, from first point to the end point. and redraw from first point to the end point.But I hope update point by point. but between the end point and the first point, there is a line. How to delete the line?
the code is:
CNiReal64Vector plotData(50);
m_graph.ChartLength = 50;
//m_graph.ClearData();
for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
for (int i=0; i<50; i++)
plotData[i] = ((double)rand()/(double)RAND_MAX)*6 + 4;
m_graph.GetPlots().Item("Plot-1").ChartXY(i, plotData[i]);
Sleep(100);

Hi Kumar,
I think you can just delete it in the sales order directly, if you are using make-to-order scenario, then there will be special stock left for the sales order as the production has been goods receipt, you need to use MM transaction move the stock to unrestricted use stock. If you are using make-to-stock scenario, there should be no further problem. If you are using assembly order, please try to reject the sales order item to see if it could fullfill your requirement.

Straight line between two polar points

Hi all,
I've created a VI which would be plotting a polar curve depending on the time-distance formula. The VI has Present Mag. and Target Mag. each having its own angle (Polar form i.e. (r,theta)). I want to plot a straight line between the Present point and the Target point. I used the time-distance formula to plot the magnitude, and used the same slope for plotting angle. However, I get a curved plot as shown in the attachment.
Could anyone tell me what formula can be used to plot a straight line between the Present point and the Target point?
Thanks.

@altenbach....
how can we do that?
To say in short,
I have two points A(magnitude1,phase1[deg]) and B(magnitude2,phase2[deg]) on the input side. Also, I have the Time input to travel from pt.A to pt.B
I have one polar plot as indicator output.
I need to show on the polar plot a line which is gradually increasing from pt.A to pt.B in a straight line on the polar plot.
You may refer the picture attached in the first post above to get an idea of what I am trying to do.
Thanks!

Copy In to Out points in timeline?

If i'm in the timeline and have in and out points set over a portion of a clip how can i copy the portion between the in to out points to paste else where like you can in fcp?
Thanks

Curious (and also wondering if CS3 is different from CS4):
I was very confused until I realized that Patrick must be referring to Sequence in/out points.
Patrick, why are you using Sequence in/out points? I'm not suggesting you shouldn't, just curious. Help files address these as relevant to 3 and 4 point edits, or doing lift/extract operations. I couldn't understand why you weren't simply copying and pasting the clip, since a clip with in/out points will paste just as is (i.e. Jim's method).
> Set your in/out points on the clip in the timeline
Jeff, can you put clip in/out point while it is in the timeline (other than dragging the end)? And if you drag the clip, then all you need to do is copy/paste.
Harm, there's no short cut to setting the in and out points your way, is there?
Another option:
Select the clip in the timeline
Go to Sequence in marker.
Add a clip marker
Go to Sequence out marker.
Add a clip marker
Double click clip (opens in Source Monitor)
go to markers and set in/out points on clip
Move CTI to new clip location
Add clip to timeline

Weird red line through arrows vs pointer when I try to use my mouse to grab stuff per usual

Anyone know why my screen is locked & not allowing me to move or place anything? & the cursor has a weird red line through arrows pointing in opposite directions when I try to grab anything. Uhmph

You have selected the Slip Tool.
If its not over a clip it gets the red line.
Select the Selection Tool (V) for placing moving around etc. of clips.

Can't set in/out points on timeline

Hello there. I have just downloaded the trial version of Premiere Elements 12, which looks like it might have everything I want in a video editor except... it doesn't seem to have ability to set In/Out points (no button exists and hitting I/O has no affect, despite being on their list of keyboard shortcuts). I'm clearly not doing something right. Not being able to edit quickly via I/O/X feels like being in a car without a steering wheel. Please help!!

L Prickitt
I have already pointed out to you the Premiere Elements 12 ways to trim clips in Expert and Quick - including the Expert workspace Project Assets double click of file thumbnail there to bring up the Preview Window as well as the Quick workspace maneuvers.
I have observed that the I and O shortcuts work only after the Preview Windows is evoked in Expert workspace by double clicking the file in either Project Assets or on the Timeline. There are different considerations when Preview Windows is used and brought up in those two different ways - from Project Assets vs Timeline. You really do want to be double clicking the file in Expert workspace Project Assets to bring up the Preview Window for your trims.
However, whether in Expert (Timeline) or Quick workspace (Filmstrip), you can drag the edges of the clip to get a trim.
Your recent post (4) defines what you want to do.
- Drop video, sound and voice over clips onto the timeline (either with a mouse or shortcut keys)
- In the timeline trim the clips most effeciently (for me, anyway) by marking an In Point (by clicking on the I key) and then an Out Point (by clicking on the O key), then deleting the clip (by clicking on X or delete key).
I would ask this. You cite prior experience in what you want to do. What program did you use - was it other than some version of Premiere Elements?
I cannot see what you want to be done in Premiere Elements without bringing up and using the Preview Window which may be taking away the quick style that you described for getting this task done. Again, you cannot use I and O as you cite in the absence of the Preview Window.
Please consider. Knowing the program that you worked with previously would help in the understanding on my side. I have looked at prior versions of Premiere Elements and cannot see what you describe. So, I want to be sure I am not overlooking something.
We will be watching for further information in the hope that we can put together some sort of compromise workflow.
Thank you.

Retaining IN or OUT points in timeline after the edit?

Is there a way of making either an insert or overwrite edit into
the timeline, and after having completed the edit, RETAINING
either the IN or OUT points in the timeline that you used for that previous edit, or BOTH, so you don't have to set them again, for subsequent edits that might need either the IN or OUT point? Lets assume you made that first edit by setting
IN and OUT points in the timeline, rather than just leaving the timeline playhead
in a spot on the timeline and set the outpoint on the source footage of the viewer.
Lets assume you actually placed IN and OUT points in the timeline to acheive that
last edit.
I know you can just set the playhead somewhere on that clip
you just inserted and hit X To get the in and out points of the
clip you just inserted, but can you accomplish the same thing
without having to "restore" the in and points in this manner?
Thanks.

Can't think of any way. You're way ahead of most people if you know about typing X to select the clip under the Playhead. That's the best way. There's also Mark to Markers (Control-A), but that's even more steps. In some cases that might be of help. You have to watch out for selecting the first frame of the NEXT clip when setting the end marker, though. If you use Down Arrow to get to the end of a clip, you're actually one frame into the next clip. Use Left Arrow to back up one.

Compressor 4 command line -in and -out points

I'm trying to use Compressor 4.1 command line interface to compress various video clips. While I can compress an entire file, start to end, without issue, I can't figure out how to compress a subset of the source file by setting in and out points. The -help information states I can set -in <hh:mm:ss;ff> and -out <hh:mm:ss;ff> parameters except they seem to have no effect as Compressor compresses the full file. Has anyone been able to specify -in and -out parameters successfully? If so, can you please share the appropriate syntax?
FWIW: here is the sytax for command that I've been using to compress 2 seconds of source video:
/applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/compressor -batchname sampleBatch -jobpath /Shows/filename_HD.mov -settingpath /Settings/480pProxy.cmprstng -locationpath /Clips/clipName_HD.mov -in 00:00:04;00 -out 00:00:06;00
OSX 10.9.2, Compressor 4.1 and Compressor 4.1.1

You have to use quotation marks around the in an out points because of the semi colon.
/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -batchname "In and Out Example" -jobpath /Shows/filename_HD.mov -settingpath /Settings/480pProxy.cmprstng -locationpath /Clips/clipName_HD.mov -in "00:00:04;00" -out "00:00:06;00"

How can I find out the angle of a straight line between two anchor points?

I would like to extend a line which is at a given angle (not 45,90 degree). Is there a quick and reliable way to do this? or to find out the angle of a segment?
What I'm doing at the moment is just direct selecting an anchor point and using the visual guides to extend it. I don't think this is exact though so was I wondering if anyone had any techniques for doing this?
Thanks!

portfelio,
Smart Guides are your friends.
As a general solution, you may:
1) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag between the two Anchor Points (Smart Guides say anchor);
2) With the appropriate Reference Point selected in the Transform palette, increase the W or H value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter;
3) Lock the new auxiliary line;
4) ClickDrag the relevant Anchor Point of the original line along the extended auxiliary line (Smart Guides say path);
5) Unlock and delete the auxiliary line.
After 1), you may also click the Line Segment Tool to see the angle.
Or, in a case with a straight path (segment), you may use the Scale Tool:
1) (Direct) Select the straight path (segment);
2) Switch to the Scale Tool and Click the Anchor Point that is to stay, then ClickDrag the one to move (Smart Guides say uniform when you are dragging in the right direction).

Shooting mouse cursor beyond intended straight line between two points.

I copied this forum question from Lightroom, and I hope this is ok because I did not know how to express the problem I am experiencing:
"The photoshop brush tool interprets shift-click as a brush stroke that connects the previous brush mouse-up position with the current mouse-down (the shift-click) as a straight line stroke.
[My experience is that every so often, maybe every three or four "shift-clicks" to get my mouse to create a straight line to my next placed mouse position, the Mouse goes Wild, and shoots way beyond my intended next position, and depending on how zoomed in on the image i am, I frequently loose my place where I had been working. It becomes quite frustrating as this is a very frequent occurrence. I have heard others with this version CS3 as well as CS2 having the same "shooting Cursor" which is accompanied by some cursing of my own. As said below, Time savings is the reason for this technique. If this problem has been dealt with already, I am sorry to have clogged up the forum, but please re-direct me with the key words to find that thread. How do I cause this shooting cursor to stay within my mouse placement?]
I find this a HUGE time-saver in creating masks as it doesn't require that I have a steady hand. I'm frustrated that LR does not offer the same capability. This feature would complement the auto-mask feature (kinda works). I could create a mask in a fraction of the time if LR included this feature.
Another irritation of occurrence is when setting lines from the rulers, the image will suddenly zoom in by a small amount. In other words, there are several areas where the software seems to have a mind of it's own, and behaves in an erratic fashion not at all related to the intended action and result.
I am operating a Mac 10.5.7
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT:
2x2.8 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon
2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

Thanks for your quick reply. I am attaching screen shots of my
current mouse setting, and a graphic of how the behavior is
demonstrated. The image is one in which quick mask is being used to
create a selection, and I am using the paint brush and find it easier
to use the brush with the technique of clicking the brush at one point
then holding the shift key while I click the brush at the desired next
point which should allow the brush to paint a straight line between
the two points. The technique works for 3 or 4 clicks, when at the
next click, it is as if it was just shot clean out of the realm of the
desired area. It is almost funny, except that this is a technique I
find most useful and frequently helpful, and is not confined to the
paint brush, but the eraser as well. This does occur also with my
computer at work, a pc, and a Microsoft mouse. I have been using
Photoshop for 12 years, and this problem did not start until I started
using CS3 extended. We have upgraded two HP pcs at work to CS4
extended, and each uses a different mouse, and both exhibit the same
behavior as experienced by other persons working at those stations,
and while using Photoshop.
I do hope you could look into this a bit further, Mark, as my
explanation of the problem may not be clearly presented for you to
fully understand just what I am experiencing.
Thank you for your help.

Removing between and in and out point in the timeline

I don't usually post on forums but this has got me quite perplexed:
How do you remove a chunk of media between and in and out point in the FCPX timeline?
It's can't be as hard as it seems to do this task that you have to do all the time. I have a 2 hour 3 camera shoot and I want to remove quite a few 2, 3 minute chucks all through the show. I can't find any way to easily remove these chunks. I know there's no real in and out point in the FCPX timeline anymore but there HAS to be some way to easily remove all the video and audio between two points !!!
I feel really dumb! The answer can't be to make a compound clip as that sure is a pain just to remove something from the timeline. And to blade each individual track means I have to blade at least 8 or 12 things just to remove it!
I have to be missing something. Thanks for any input.

Thanks Tom.
I'll have between 3 and 6 layers at any point. I've tried command B but the problem with that is it only puts a cut on the primary storyline. It will cut more than that if I select all the layers. By doing that it's like a 5 or 6 step process to delete chunks of media in the timeline. I can't believe there isn't an easier way than that.
But what makes it worse as I have a long piece of audio only media that is for the whole show. Its a connected clip to the primary storyline. when making edits with command B and then deleting what is between the edits this main audio gets deleted from the edit forward. IT's like this audio becomes a connected clip right after the edit when command B is made. it looks connected to the next clip after the command B but it deletes when I delete the chunk between the command B.
This is so silly that I can't easily delete media from the timeline in this way. It's such a simple thing!

In and out point goes clip picture to go off-line

Hello,
When I do a mark in and out in a clip. there is somme clip in the browser that go off-line. The clip is not offline but the picon of the clip in the browser said that the clip is offline.
if I go in this clip and do a mark in noe the picon become correct ???
thanks
Carl

Carl,
I'm not sure if I follw your question, but here's my attempt to answer:
If I understand you have clips that show up in your Browser as Offline (red) but if you play them they are just fine and really are there. If you put an In or Out point in the Browser Clip then the files no longer appear offline.
I have experienced this with clips in the Broswer and the Timeline. I figure it is just a bug in the program and since everything still works, I'm okay.
So, if that is what's going on, I think it's just a bug, nothing more.
If that's not what's going on, I'm lost too.
Hope that helps!

Problems with in/out points when submitting jobs via Terminal/command-line

I've writting a GUI based script which allows a user to select a source Quicktime file, and will encode that file to multiple formats, and trims each destination based on specific timecode in/out points. However, I'm having problems getting the Compressor command-line interface to honor the in/out timecodes that I've explicitly set for multiple jobs within a single commandline.
In other words, if I want to encode a source Quicktime between 01:00:00:00 and 01:00:29:23 with just ONE setting/destination, then the following commandline works:
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923
But if I try to append multiple settings/destinations to the commandline, Compressor will only honor the -in/-out arguments which appear in the LAST -jobpath instance in the commandline.
For example, the following commandline will properly encode the file to multiple destination files, using the appropriate .settings file, but it ignores the -in/-out points that were set for any -jobpath instance that appears before the last -jobpath instance (in other words, every file is output using 00:59:57:00/01:00:30:01 as the in/out points, instead of having the "*_OTWC.mov" file output using 01:00:00:00 as the in point)
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923 -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/HNN-HD.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_HNN-HD.mov -in 00595700 -out 01003001
It's wierd that everything else about this command-line syntax works as expected (and as explicitly stated in the Compressor -help output, which says "when submitting individual source files. (The) Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch"), except for the -in/-out points.
I've even tried quoting the -in/-out arguments using colons (e.g., -in "01:00:00;00") , but this doesnt appear to change the behavior.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something here?

Getting Color to only render between in an out points

When I import into FCP, I generally create slices of my movies between 1 and 5 minutes depending on what is in them. Then I slice them up with multiple in and out points and place them on my time line. This is all good until Color gets in the mix and its very confusing why it does what it does.
It appears that when sending to color and selecting a primary setting and then rendering, it renders the entire length of the clip (5 min in this example) for every single slice created with that mov file. Now before you tell me this makes sense, you'd have to explain why upon rendering it, it chops the entire film off at exactly my in and out points so as to prevent me from doing any further work such as adding a transition or sliding things around using slip edits or anything else.
So to get this straight, it renders the entire 5 minute clip, then chops it off at 5 seconds which was all it had to render to begin with.
So my question you ask? Well, I want to know if there is a way to get Color to chop the clips off before it bothers rendering? As I said, it makes no sense at all what its doing currently.
And my last question, is there a way to get Color to create handles so that if you decided to add a transition later on you could?
Thanks,
glenn

CHOP: "once clips have been color corrected in COLOR, they are no longer associated with the original media in any way"
Right the first time.
There is the "handles" approach that allows a few frames wiggle room.
CHOP "So should I tell the label that it's a 4-step process or too much of a hassle to extend a shot beyond the original edit?"
(This is an after thought: Has a client ever asked you to "dolly back" a little bit more on a clip to include more of the scene in a frame? Just wondering.)
Lets say it takes a bit of planning.
CHOP: "back to a telecine or flame bay...Quality is never cheap $$. "
Also correct. But there are a few of us that have the delusion of working in the "real world"... where are you? Hollywood?
Actually the FCP/COLOR linkage is a bit better than the old tape/daVinci model. Now that was a hassle.

Polar equation of a line between two points

I am trying to make a method to output the points (in polar coordinates (r, theta)) along a line between two given polar coordinates.
This will mimick the path of an object traveling across a radar screen.
Is this possible?

Java does not plot in polar coordiantes, you'll have to convert to rectangular to get a plot. If you're just doing a sweep on a screen, then it's fairly simple to do:
r is the radius of your screen,
(0,0) is your Origin translated as (Xmax/2, Ymax/2)
when you draw the line you just start at your Origin and get your end values as
X1=X0+r*cos(Theta) and
Y1=Y0+r*sin(Theta),
I've not seen, nor do I think there is any other support to do what you want--you have to convert to (x,y) coordinate system.
This will leave a ragged edge so make a border around your screen.
