Replace Edit while preserving transition

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to replace a clip on the timeline with another clip.
The first clip already in the sequence has a transition on it.
Is there any way - besides copying the new clip and pasting attributes (content) to the old clip - to overwrite the new with the old while keeping the trasition?
Thanks

well you could use the the replace edit function (F11)
position the playhead in the timeline over the clip you want to replace.
load the replacement clip in the viewer
press F11
note that neither the clip in the timeline nor the clip in the viewer need or will reference and in or out markers. clip placement is dictated solely by the playhead position whereby the clip in the viewer will replace the clip in the timeline such that the playhead position is maintained

Adding/editing while preserving timeline

Sorry if this is discussed before.
I am piecing together a dj mix in gb and I want to add a song without selecting and dragging all the following regions in order to make room for the new track. You know, kinda like when u want to add a shot to a video timeline and need to accommodate. Any tips? Thanks!

Thanks so much for the reply. I will look into that. I've always selected everything past that point and dragged them over as well, but unless there's a better way to do it that I don't know about (please tell!), sometimes I may miss a region or while grabbing another region I deselect the whole lot, or since I have so many trax going up and down I have to remember to cast my net wider and scope out for possible runaways! I thought to myself, "there has to be a better way to do this!" THANKS AGAIN!

Open and edit animated .gif while preserving frame timing

CS4 Premium Design Edition, Win XP
I was disappointed with the removal of Image Ready from CS3 because although some of the functionality was placed into Photoshop 10, there was no way to open and edit an existing animated .gif while preserving the timing of each individual frame. I was told on the PS forum at the time that I really needed to use Fireworks. I resented that, because I was very happy with Image Ready and I didn't want to have to learn a new application just to gain functionality that had been included in previous versions of PS/IM.
I've now got CS4 Premium Design Edition which of course includs Fireworks... and here's what Help has to say on the subject of imported .gifs.
"Note: When you import an animated GIF, the state delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the States panel to restore the original timing."
This is no use to me. What if I don't know the individual frame timings? What if there are 200 frames with varying timings?
Simple question: which current Adobe product is capable of importing a .gif while retaining the frame timings? If anyone knows, or if I've misunderstood the nature of the Fireworks Help quote above, I'd really appreciate some input here. Thanks :)
Not so simple question: why was an excellent gif-editing application thrown out to have its functionality partially replaced by a bunch of scripts and half-effective workarounds cooked up by desperate users ("import a gif by using the video import and typing *.* into the filename box..")? It's a fair question I think.

Hi Bob, that's not glib at all, it's a reasonable question.
I uninstalled it along with everything else when I installed CS3, in the reasonable expectation that whatever replaced IR would be at least equal in functionality.
Perhaps I should just dig out CS2 and install IM from there, but I have some serious reservations about doing so, because I don't know if/how a partial install of CS2 will impact upon my installation of CS4, and I'm not confident of getting support.
I am also curious to know if/why Adobe actually removed basic functionality without replicating or replacing it in their other software. I really want to know: which recent, currently supported Adobe product
should I be using in order to regain this functionality? Or do Adobe no longer produce a geniuinely comprehensive .gif-editing application?

Replace edit?

I recently created my own transition like those in iMovie. The ones that pull out of the picture to reveal a comic book page as is scrolls down to another "pane" on the page and then zooms back in to fill the screen with the new clip. I did it as a test to see if I could do it and how hard it would be. It's not too difficult but it does involve a bit of key-framing that, depending on how much your foreground image moves and rotates, can become tedious.
My question is; if I decided to change one or both of the clips that are being key-framed to the foreground image can I replace them while maintaining the key frames I already mapped out? (Make sense?). I was hoping the "replace" option may do this but it doesn't seem to want to work for me in the way I was hoping...
To see my example: http://homebrewavcrew.com/Media/Transition_Test.mov

Wow! Amazing. Now I'm off to design some template for transitions like this. Any other suggested uses for this newly learned skill?
Thanks for the help!

So far so good. But then, how do you return to the viewing mode while preserving the corrected photos. There is no way out such as a button " done " like the one present in mi iMac.

In my ipad, looking at photos with red eyes I enter edit mode, red eye tool, correct and then what? How do I return to the viewing mode while preserving the corrected photos. There is no way out such as a button " done " like the one present in my iMac. Any solution ?

How can I process a linearly converted raw file while preserving color?

Hi,
I want to convert my raw files in a linear format (to preserve all the dynamic range and detail and prevent unnecessary clipping). My question is "how can I modify the brightness or luminance while preserving the hue and saturation of every color?"
As for applying the gamma curve, I guess the best and only way in Photoshop is to create a Levels adjustment and place a 2.2 in the middle (gray) input box. However, I read in http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hybrid-conversion.shtml that a 4.75 value should be used... Why? Is the number placed there not correspond to the gamma being applied?
Thanks in advance.
Juan Dent
P.S.: getting colorimetrically accurate color from the camera, through all the manipulations in Photoshop is for me crucial. Any pointers as to what to do and what to avoid?

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Parse and output XML document while preserving attribute order

QUESTION: How can I take in an element with attributes from an XML and output the same element and attributes while preserving the order of those attributes?
The following code will parse and XML document and generate (practically) unchanged output. However, all attributes are ordered a-z
Example: The following element
<work_item_type work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_type_code="3" user_tag_ident="Step" name="Work Step" gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" rstat_type_code="1">
</work_item_type>is output as:
<work_item_type gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" name="Work Step" rstat_type_code="1" user_tag_ident="Step" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_type_code="3">
</work_item_type>As you may notice, there is no difference in these besides order of the attributes!
I am convened that the problem is not in the stylesheet.xslt but if you are not then it is posted bellow.
Please, someone help me out with this! I have a feeling the solution is simple
The following take the XML from source.xml and outputs it to DEST_filename with attributes in a-z order
Code:
private void OutputFile(String DEST_filename, String style_filename){
     //StreamSource stylesheet = new StreamSource(style_filename);
     try{
          File dest_file = new File(DEST_filename);
          if(!dest_file.exists())
              dest_file.createNewFile();
          TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
          aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
          Source src = new DOMSource("source.xml");
          Result dest = new StreamResult(dest_file);
          aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
          System.out.println("Finished");
     catch(Exception e){
          System.err.print(e);
          System.exit(-1);
    }

You can't. The reason is, the XML Recommendation explicitly says the order of attributes is not significant. Therefore conforming XML serializers won't treat it as if it were significant.
If you have an environment where you think that the order of attributes is significant, your first step should be to reconsider. Possibly it isn't really significant and you are over-reaching in some way. Or possibly someone writing requirements is ignorant of this fact and the requirement can be discarded.
Or possibly your output is being given to somebody else who has a defective parser which expects the attributes to be in a particular order. You could quote the XML Recommendation to those people but often XML bozos are resistant to change. If you're stuck writing for that parser then you'll have to apply some non-XML processing to your output to fix it up on their behalf.

I'm not clear what you are saying here. Since for S&T versions registration is mandatory, you have a permanent serial on your account and those function just liek any normal serial number of a comemrcial package.

Video tutorial: Using Replace Edit in Premiere Pro

Here is an excellent tutorial about the Replace Edit in Premiere Pro: From the page: Replace one clip with another in a Timeline

Here's a great tutorial about using the Replace edit function in Premiere Pro by reTooled.net. http://www.retooled.net/?p=253

Replace edit question

Working in Tom's book, pg 66, FCE 3.5, Replace Edit.
I understand that there must be enough frames in the Viewer in front of the Playhead. Suppose that I need to know that there must be at least 12;27.
Since the Viewer shows only total duration of the clip, and the position of Playhead, I guess that the only way to know how much lies in front of the Playhead is to figure out the math manually (ie, Duration minus Playhead)?
Thanks,
Sonny

As clips in FCE don't show timecode, if the playhead is after 12:27 in the viewer there's a media in front of the playhead.

Replace a clip preserving filters

In FCP 7.03 , how to replace a clip preserving filters already applied?
I know how to do it if I didn't import the files yet ( using reconnect media). But how to do it from clip what I already have
in my project?

"Or you can select the new clip and hit command-c (copy) and then select the clip in the timeline and hit option-v and choose content."
Perfect!! Thx very much!!

I don't think you can prevent email body text from being copied and edited.
You'd probably need to created a protected Word or PDF document, and send it as an attachment.
This is still some sort of guessing because it's still not clear to me what exactly your scenario is.
Whatever text you send in an email, regardless of whether in the body or as an attachment, the recipient will always be able to use that and distribute it further, e.g. by making a screenshot. And images can be 'photoshoped' as well.
If you want the recipient to be able to detect whether a message or an attachment has been altered on transit, you'd need to sign it.

My 4s crashed and Apple replaced it while I was out of town. I used it for a week without downloading my old information. When I backed up my old information it erased all my new information from a weeks work. Is there a way to recover that information?

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

Is it safe to edit while compressor is encoding?

so now apparently we can edit while compressor does its thing but before wasn't that a bad idea cause editing can cause compressor to hick-up and screw up the encode??? am i crazy here?

As long as you have enough RAM installed (I'd think 4 gigs is enough for most situations) you shouldn't have any problems running compressor in the background. I've been doing it for a very long time here by exporting movies from FCP first. What's new is you can do it directly from FCP is all.
