Replace Edit yields an Insufficent Content For Edit Error - Sometimes.

Here's the scenerio- I have clips of student artwork (NTSC video, not jpgs.) Each clip is approx 20 seconds long. In the FCP timeline, I have a template set up - v1 is the artwork, v2 is a slate for the student's name. Audio is not used. There is a "Cube Spin" transition between all clips. Clips in the timeline are 8 seconds long. Everything looks good. Now I want an easy way to change out the clips in v1.
I load my new clip into the viewer that I'm going to use to replace the first clip in the timeline. In the viewer, I set an in point approx 2 seconds in. v1 is targeted. I move the playhead to the start of the clip to replace. Hitting F11 to Replace works just fine. I'll move to the next one, and do the same. This is where the problem happens. Now it won't replace it. Or maybe it will. It works sometimes, and not others. When it doesn't work, I'm greeted with the "insufficient content for edit" message. To make it work, I don't (think) I do anything differently, except maybe move my playhead to another spot on the clip, and then back again, or just leave it out in the middle of the clip.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can't find a pattern to why it won't work. At first I thought it was because I had a transition on the front or back of the clip, and it wouldn't replace that clip because of that. However, that's not the case because sometimes I can get it to work with transitions on both sides! I know there is enough pad on the video because the in point is 2 seconds in, the transition is only a total of 20 frames, the timeline clip is only 8 seconds, and my total source clip in the viewer is 20 seconds. I can't figure out what the pattern is and why I'm getting this error. If it doesn't work, sometimes I simply move the playhead around, and try again, and it works.
So.... Is this a bug or am I just missing something very simple?
Thanks for the help!

Why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message ?

Hi all FCE experts,
May I ask why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message when I tried to overwrite or replace a clip ?
Ok,this is what happen:
I have a clip A (4 secs) followed by clip B (4 secs). Then in between I add a video transition.
After a while, I reckon I want to change clip B with another clip (say clip C). So, I went to brower & search for clip C which is 2 mins long clip. To make sure there are enough handles, I went to the centre mark an In point then 4 sec later mark an Out point. So I drag this clips C of 4 secs from the Viewer (I marked the In & Out point in the viewer) to the Overlay canvas & do an Overwrite but it says "Insufficent Content for Edit".
I then tried Replace also got the "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message.
I then tried to delete the video transition and repeat the above for overwrite and replace, both times I got the same error.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

From your description there is no way either of these things should happen. Without seeing it I would guess there is something else going in your timeline or your clip which you're not telling us. *Perhaps there are I/O pints marked in the timeline*. Or the destination tracks are not set correctly. or something else.
Thanks Tom, you are correct.
I have In Point & Out Point marked on the Timeline. I used it when I did FILE > EXPORT and left it there. But once I cleared it, I am able to replace it with another clip.
But I am still puzzled as to why I cannot do any overwrite or replace when there is I/O points marked on the Timeline ? Especially when the section of clips I wanted to overwrite or replaced are located outside of the I/O points ?
Thanks

"Insufficient content for editing" missage

Sometimes I get "Insufficient content for editing" message when sending a FCP audio track to STP, however an audio file is created and I can process it. It does not link to the FCP time line however. This seems liks a bug, Help
G4 2X1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Here, this is written for people encountering this problem when creating transitions, but the concept is the same:
http://journalism.berkeley.edu/multimedia/tutorials/finalcut/transitions-handles .html

Why do I keep getting the error message "insufficient content for edit"?

I'm following a tutorial to create crawling text but when I come to superimpose it onto my video, I get the error message "insufficient content for edit"?
The crawling text lasts for 10 seconds.
I'm confused

I usually get that error when I'm trying to cut in a shot that FCP decides is lacking in content. It might be a perfectly good shot on its own, but it doesn't really add to the story. When I step back and think about it, the program is usually right. I also sometimes get "Edit operation had no effect" which is a little harsh. I like to think my edits have some effect.

"Insufficient content for edit" Error Message

In Premiere, when performing a three point edit, I would get a "Fit Clip" dialogue box that asked me if I wanted to "Ignore Source In Point", "Ignore Source Out Point", etc. I usually pick the same option so I checked off the box that said "Always use this choice". If an edit doesn't exactly fit the parameters I universally set, an error comes up saying, "insufficient content for edit".
I can't find a way to undo that without wiping my settings clean. Is there a way to bring that initial dialogue box back up? Thanks, all.

I figured it was a check box I was overlooking. Thanks!

Insufficient content for edit, four point editing, ignore out point on source

Hello folks,
I'm a long time FCP 7 and Avid editor currently using 8.2 for two short form museum films and have been running into all sort of questions. This one comes up multiple times a day. I tried to search for this here but didn't find my exact issue or answers.
I am trying to do a four point edit and I keep getting the "Insufficient Content for Edit" error. My source is marked in and out for 5 sec and my timeline in and out is marked for 8 sec. Four points total. I have already checked the Ignore Source Out point in the Fit Clip window and have checked the "Remember" box as well. My source definitely have enough footage to fill the marked 8 sec in the timeline. So why isn't PP ignoring the source out point when I commit the edit? Of course, I works properly if I go to the Source window and remove the out point manually but that's a pain and shouldn't be the way. Is PP not capable of this? or Am I doing something wrong? What is the point of the "Ignore Source Out Point" if it doesn't apply to this very common situation?
Thanks for any help you folks can offer.
CHL

I think I know what the issue is.
When the Fit Clip dialog opens for me and the source is shorter than the destination, "Ignore Source In Point" and "Ignore Source Out Point" are grayed out. In other words, when the source is shorter than the destination, my only option is to ignore sequence in or out points.
If my source is longer than my destination then it allows me to check ignore source in or out. However, if I have Premiere remember this choice, when I try to insert a source clip that is shorter than the destination, I get the error that you get.
It's obviously a terrible setup and shouldn't be like this, but that's why it's happening.

Make sure that you have no active I/O markers on the Timeline (use Option X keys to clear them).

Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editing...

Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editingbecause Aperture doesn't support the image format.
Thats the message that appears when I'm exporting to Photoshop CS5 (I tried CS4 too), or even other Plug-ins such as Silver Efex Pro...
That had never happened before, and I use Aperture for over 2 years.
Its RAW image format from the same camera and all, nothing has changed. just randomly decided not to export anymore to other programs, Regular exporting works, so it's nothing to do with exporting it self, but the communication between aperture and other softwares, I think.
I've seen some other people having the same problem, does anyone have a take on it, in how to solve this? I can't edit anymore outside of aperture. (of course not including the idea of exporting and doing everything away from aperture, which is totally not viable with the amount of content to be edited and not being in aperture anymore.)
I've tried deleting the preferences, tried repair permissions of the Library, and still didn't work.
Didn't go to the other 2 options (repair and rebuild database) because it would take days if chosen, and still not sure that would solve. or if has anything to do with.
Any light anyone?

What kind of file is it? (i.e.jpeg, Canon RAW, Nikon RAW etc..)
As a workaround until you get the issue fixed, why not reimport the image from the original file, lift and stamp any adjustments you've made in Aperture, and see if the same problem occurs?

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
Doug_

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

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.

How to force Portal not to display item content for a custom item

Hi,
I've read in several places questions about rendering an Item in a custom way, without letting portal
display the item content, if you read along I've discovered a SIMPLE WAY to force portal not to
display the content item.
As per bugs and requests on metalink it seemed that in many versions of Oracle Portal (mine is 9.0.4.1)
this is impossible, since even if we remove the "Item Content" from the list of displayed attributes in the
region, Portal does display it anyway, just after every other Attribute.
- Re: using an item type procedure
- Metalink BUG # 3998251 "ENH: SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE "ITEM CONTENT" FOR TEXT ITEMS OR NEED A NEW ITEM TYP" and is being looked into internally whether it is feasible to include this in future releases.
- Metalink Doc ID:      Note:290534.1          Subject:      Unable to Hide the "Item Content" Attribute for a Text Item
Mine scenario was the usual one:
-oracle portal 9.4.0.1
-a custom item based on custom text (so as to have the RTE to edit HTML).
-A few attributes that help me define the class of an enclosing DIV tag that I wanted to put (a class and an ID)
-A plsql call associated to the custom item, with the flag "display inline" checked
-The dirty HTML generated by the built-in Oracle RTE (with BODY and HTML tags enclosing the actual HTML)
-The region that will contain the item is set so that just the "Function Call" is (or should be) displayed
I wanted to control entirely the display of the item text, while enclosing it in a custom DIV tag.
After a few tries, one of which involved forcing an HTML comment around the item content that Portal stubbornly
displayed, I've discovered this simple way. I don't know hom much this way is portable, but is done entirely with the APIs.
In the stored procedure that displays the item, that I encolose, i just do:
1) retrieved the ITEM querying WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS;
2) updated the ITEM via WWSBR_API.MODIFY_ITEM, passing as display_otpion the value WWSBR_API.FULL_SCREEN!!
Here I try a little explanation:
An item just created has FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=0. This way the stored procedure is executed
AND the item content is displayed.
WIth the modify_item, the item gets FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=2 !! This seems strange since the docs
tells that inplace can be 0 or 1. But this works.
I've played with the WWV_THINGS table directlry, and setting INPLACE to 0, 2 or 3 works as well, while
if it is set to 1, it behave the usual way.
The trick is to have FULLSCREEN to 1 while INPLACE is not set to 1.. and this was the easiest solution.
I'd like to receive a feedback from Oracle regarding this behaviour.
Bye

Is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

I am creating a structure with tags and place holders. However, not all my entries have all the same information. For example, my first entry has a 3 line address (123 West Street, Suit 23, Lincoln NE 68521) but my second entry only has 2 line address (456 North Street, Lincoln NE 68521). When imported into my structure, the second address reads 456 North Street, <address2>, Lincoln NE 68521. My question for you is, is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

IJWAA,
A work-around if you don't already use XSLT (to avoid having to) is to not have placeholder text, just use empty tags in your text layout that correspond to your incoming XML structure (any unused by the incoming structure IN ORDER, will be skipped). So long as you don't mind the blank line (rather than left over placeholder copy).
If you had placeholder copy in your text box (<address2> for example) look at it using the story editor window (edit > edit in story editor, or command-y/control-y) so you can see the surrounding tags... style the surrounding tags by selecting them with the cursor and applying character or paragraph styles (with text in between the tags at the time) and then delete only the placeholder text from the middle of the sandwich, leaving the tags in tact. Trying to do this without being in the story editor will not work.
Also, when importing the XML, I believe you'll still need to use "merge content" and "don't import empty white space" as you have been in order to replace placeholder text in any areas you had it.
For situations when you have a mixture of dynamic and static text in the same text block and you are merging data (more so when the placeholder text has been deleted as I've suggested above but the dynamic tags for the possible incoming text are still there), you can use a tag you've created (I call mine "staticText") in your layout to wrap ANY bits of text you don't want to accidentally delete when the surrounding tags get populated or not, using the merge option upon importing your XML. Just be sure never to use "staticText" as an actual tag in your structure or surrounding incoming data. The text contained within staticText tags in your layout will be ignored by incoming data, and won't accidentally get deleted when it's sandwiched between two sets of tags that are dynamically populated when merge content is the import option.
In my example below I'm using brackets/carats with the tag name instead of the color coded tag icon you see in the story editor, also I've used LB here to indicate a regular line break in Indesign and SP a regular space character in indesign:
[staticText>Name:<staticText][firstName>Abc<firstName][staticText>SP<staticText][lastName>Xyz<firstName][staticText>LB<staticText]
[staticText>Address:<staticText][address1><address1][staticText>LB<staticText]
[address2><address2][staticText>LB<staticText]
all other tags on following lines...
This should just leave a blank line for address2 when no data comes in for it. I'm assuming you have line breaks, if not, all the better.

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).
