Reveal multiple clips in Finder?

How can I reveal a series of clips in finder? It would be very nice to do this because I need to group all of my used footage in a separate folder on my desktop, and it'd be a pain to do it one by one. Also, can I select every clip in the project timeline and select the "Reveal in project" option? It seems as if you can only perform this while having only one clip selected.
Thanks for the help!

But I find that they are maintained as .emix files; these open using Text Edit. In addition, I use Journler as a doc mgnt. tool, and pulling an .emix file to Journler also allows to see the email (as an email, rather than even a txt doc).

Automator: How to reveal multiple Finder items in 1 Finder window?

Just as the subject states. How do I use Automator to reveal multiple Finder items in a single Finder window?
Thanks in advance!

Allow me to also briefly explain what I'm trying to do. For some reason Spotlight does not index the Library folder by default. I'm trying to create a workflow app which allows me to do this at will.
So far upon experimenting I can get it to kind of work with the following actions...
Text > Ask for Text (as in "What would you like to search for in the Library folder?")
Utilities > Spotlight (executes the search based on the input from the first action)
Files & Folders > Reveal Finder Items (reveals the results of the search, but in a separate Finder window for each result)
My goal is to aggregate the results and display them in a single Finder window if possible.
Thanks

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually? If you select multiple clips and select "New Sequence from Clip" it puts all of the clips into one sequence. Is there an easy way to quickly perform this on multiple selected clips separately?

So now I *have* used Butler with PPro, and it works very well, here's an idea of how to do it:
Import folder of clips
Ensure first clip selected in bin and sorted by Media Type
Most of these commands need shortcuts assigning - mine listed below
Macro:
To create seq from selected clip:
‘New seq from clip’ (Shift+CMD+N)
To duplicate this seq:
‘Reveal Sequence in project’ (Shift+F) - not strictly necessary as it will already be selected
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Edit | Duplicate’ (Shift+CMD+/)
To rename the duplicate
‘Enter’
Various keystrokes to rename as required
‘Enter’ - to make name stick
‘Shift+Enter’ - to reselect that sequence
‘Esc’ - to get out of editing name
To change resolution of duplicate:
‘Sequence Settings’ (CMD+5)
‘Tab’ x 3 (to get to H Frame Size)
‘xxxx’ (to enter frame width)
‘Tab’ x 1 (to get to V Frame Size)
‘yyyy’ (to enter frame height
‘Enter’ x 2 as prompt will say previews will have to be deleted
To then find next clip ready for macro to run again:
‘Open in Timeline’ (Shift+CMD+O)
‘Match Frame’ (Shift+Spacebar)
‘Reveal in Project’ (Shift+CMD+F)
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Down Arrow’ - to select next clip
I tried it with Butler (manytricks.com - free trial, $20 to buy) and it worked a treat, takes about 3 secs per clip
AHK (for windows) is at autohotkeys.com and is free.
You could start making multiple macros - that would enable you to do grade / resize in middle of duplication - and then export etc, but I figure you can figure that out ;-)

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Here's my situation:
I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

Export multiple clips from one timeline

Hi,
Is there a way to export multiple clips into separate files from the timeline. So, basically i have a time line with many clips which i need to export to individual files, not one long video. In FCP 7 I would drag all these clips into a new folder and then batch export. But in FCPX?
Thanks!

Of course i's not "half baked". Just because it lacks a feature that you want doesn't make it so.
There isn't as NLE out there that doesn't attract complaints from some users about its functionality in some area or other.
Fortunately, the fully functional trial version gives us a good chance to find out first-hand whether the design meets our requirements.

Selecting multiple clips in Imovie for Iphone for plus Ipad 2?

hi guys first post on these forums i hope you can help.
I recently downloaded imovie from the app store for my iphone 4 and so far have been really impressed with it. However there is one problem i'm having. I would like to select multiple clips from my camera roll without having to keep going back into the media section and having to scroll down to find the clips for everyone i want to add. Is there a way of selecting multiple clips? any help appreciated!

There is a way to load multiple video clips at once on iMovie's timeline on the iPad.
I have been able to load multiple video clips into my iPad's iMovie's timeline at the same time, but this process requires the combined use of iMovie and iPhoto and won't work if you have iOS 8 running on your iPad.
This is the way I do it. You create an iMovie project (Movie) on your iPad. iMovie will show the video clips that you can load to the timeline, but, as you have probably already found out, you can't load more than one clip at a time in iMovie's timeline. My videos have sometimes 100-200 clips, so loading them into the timeline one-by-one is a very long and tedious process. I do this instead:
(1) I go to iMovie and load the first clip on the timeline using iMovie. (This needs to be done to avoid iPhoto importing its background music to your video clips in iMovie.)
(2) Then I get out of iMovie and go into iPhoto. iPhoto shows you all the photos, but more importantly also all the videos in your Camera Roll.
(3) In iPhoto, I select the next video in the Camera Roll (the one right after the clip that I already placed on iMovie's timeline).
(4) Next, I hit the icon at the top of iPhoto that takes you to the "Share" section (the icon is a square box with an arrow pointing to the top). This will open a dialogue box that has a section there for "Apps" and you will see the iMovie icon.
(5) Select the iMovie icon, it will open a dialoge box that reads at the bottom: "Choose Photos...".
(6) Select "Choose Photos..."
(7) Now you can select up to 15 video clips in iPhoto to load into iMovie's timeline. You select each video by tapping it, it becomes encased in a white square and will show a check mark.
(8) After selecting up to 15 video clips, hit "Next" in the top right corner, you will be taken to iMovie.
(9) In iMovie, you will be asked to select the project into which the clips are to be placed. Select the project and the clips will all be loaded at once into iMovie's timeline.
Repeat the process again each time to load more clips; the process will place each new group of clips on iMovie's timeline right after the previously loaded clips. When you return to iPhoto, the clips that appear encased with a heavy white border are the ones that have already been placed in the timeline for iMovie; select the next uncased clip and 14 more and load them into iMovie in the same way as described before.
One word of caution: This process only works using iMovie and iPhoto together. iPhoto does not work with iOS 8! (Thank you, Apple!) That's why I don't have iOS 8 on my iPad, so, the process works fine. I hope this helps.
Cheers,

How can I select multiple clips in the event browser?

I can't seem to figure out how to do something that should be pretty simple. I want to select multiple clips in the event browser that aren't next to each other. Right now it's only letting me select the two clips with every other clip in between. Is there a keyboard function that will allow me to deselect the clips in between while leaving the two on the outside selected? In Apple's finder you can do this with files by holding down shift-command while clicking on the ones you want. Or is there away to rearrange clips in the event browswer?
I'd like to be able to create a multicam clip, but there is always going to be other media in between the clips I want to combine, so how can I select only the clips I want?
Thanks!

Holding the Command key should let you select non-contiguous items, just as in the Finder.

Apply/paste cell metadata into multiple clips?

Hi everyone,
I'm logging, and as always I have some identical logging data (metadata) that needs to be input for dozens of clips. Let's say, "wrong scene # in slate". The manual way to do this is Cmd+V and Return (or Ctrl+V and Enter) for every single clip. Is there an automatic way to do this? If there is, I couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm using the latest (7.2.2) PPro CC.
For comparison, this is the Avid way.
Thanks!

Hmmmm, you helped me got to the/a right answer: I kept trying to input values normally, in the bin window. If you select multiple clips, as soon as you click on one of their fields to edit, the selection reverts to that individual clip.
If I input the values in the Metadata panel, it works as you described.
I still think it'd be slicker to be able to do this while staying in the bin. I'd like confirmation from others if there is a way to do it or not. I now know one way to do it, would be good to know if there are more

Corrupted clip import from DV: cut into multiple clips, wrong date

After importing DV tapes into iMovie '09, especially older ones, many takes are wrongly cut into multiple clips, some having the correct recording date & time, others having the current date & time. I have a single take, 32 minutes, cut into 685 tiny clips! All out of order... It's almost impossible to puzzle them in the correct order (and I lack the time).
Can iMovie be set to disregard timestamp info from the tape, and simply put clips in the order they are received from the tape? I could easily set the date & time by hand, and even make it understand it's one take, but not if it's a clip puzzle... Help!

Can imovie HD run on 10.6? I tried to install it and it said I needed iLife 08 installed first.
Yes. It works fine.
You have 6.0.4, you want 6.0 > 6.0.3 ONLY. 6.0.4 looks for iLife '08.
You can get iMovie 06 in a number of ways. You cannot download it FROM APPLE any longer (it was free for a time). You can also find iMovie 06 on the iLife 06 install disc. You can buy iLife 06 on Amazon or eBay. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!
iMovie 6.0.4 requires that iLife 08 is already installed. iMovie 6.0 thru iMovie 6.0.3 has no such requirement. There are no known functional differences between 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. If you install iMovie 06 from the iLife 06 disk it will probably be version 6.0 or 6.01. However you can update the software to 6.0.3 from Apple's Web site.

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imoviehd603.html
If you want to have both iMovie 06 and iLife 09 (and most do) just install iMovie 06 first, then iLife 09. You are now UN-STOPPABLE!
Also when you install iLife 08 or 09, iMovie 06 is not removed from the computer. Previous editions of iMovie were always un-installed when "upgrading" in the past. Apple leaves iMovie 06 on your system, because they want you to have it. iMovie 06 works great with iDVD 09.

Easy way to mute audio on multiple clips in PRE 10?

In the process of creating my movie and experimenting with different sound tracks, I would like to temporarily mute the audio on multiple clips, but I can’t find a convenient way to do it. I don’t want to delete the audio as I may revert back to using it. I am aware of two methods, however both can only be used with a single clip. (I want to do in a single operation with multiple clips).
Method 1: Unlink audio and video, then disable audio track.
Method 2: Right click on clip, select Audio Gain, and set gain level to -96 db.
Both of these methods are tedious when you need to apply them to many clips, and equally so if you want to revert back to the original.

You are correct that the Audio Mixer handles Tracks. It's the same thing with the Keyframes and adjustments made via Audio Mixer. That was why I suggested placing selected Clips on selected Tracks.
When I am doing heavy Audio work, I always use multiple Audio Tracks, as that allows me infinite control. I also change the names of those Audio Tracks so that I know exactly what's one each, say "Lake Ambience Dusk," "Loon Near," "Loon Far," Frogs," "Crickets," "Music," "Narration," etc.. Then each Track can be adjusted, precisely, and I can also add Track Keyframes, via the Audio Mixer, to adjust Volume of each Track. Since the Audio Mixer applies Track Keyframes (not Clip Keyframes), I do that as my final step, when I have completed my actual Cutting and Trimming. Next to prehaps final scoring, this set of adjustments is the last thing that I do.
Good luck,
Hunt

Inserting multiple clips stacked on different tracks

Hi All,
I know this has to have come up before, and my memory has the tingle that I thought I'd done this in the past, but I really can't seem to remember or find it now.
Basicly, Inserting multiple clips from project window into the timeline and stacking on different tracks (vertically) instead of Head to tail.

Ok so gonna end up answering my own question , after some playing around I found this way of doing it.
Select all files you want to insert
right click and select create multicam
sync via start unless you want to try and audio sync them (I use plural eyes 3)
create sequence from multicam
Ctrl double click the multicam
This gives you a sequence with all files on seperate tracks, if I don't really want/need a multicam for that particular project I cut and past into a new sequence then use plural to sync vid audio, otherwise i just sync in the multicam and im ready to go.
Although this works, there really should be an easier way, a shift + Ctrl while dropping on the timeline ... feature request !
ps. I read someone state that this was not a regularly needed funciton in premier .. I really dont know what work they are doing but i need this every single day !

How to select multiple clips? "Help" is wrong.

Hi. I've got iMovie 11 v 9.0.9. "Help" is wrong in this version - it says, to select multiple clips in the Events browser, hold down the command key while selecting - the normal thing, right? - but it does nothing. The first selection disappears, just as it would if you didn't hold the Command key down. I've tried every combination of keys and click I can think of, and still no success. Usually, when I can't get something to work and get frustrated with it, I find out it's my own fault and invariably what I've done is overthink the thing...with Mac it's always KISS.
But I'm stuck. Could someone please tell me how to do this?
I'd really appreciate any help, thanks.
Lynne

No. In finder hold down the option key and in the GO menu select Library. In the window that appears Open the Preferences folder then scroll down and find com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie LSSharedFileList.plist and drag them to the trash. Do this with iMovie closed. Thenreboot and relaunch iMovie.

Copy Shape Mask to multiple clips

I want to use the Color/Shape Mask to create a vignette on multiple clips, but I can not find a way to copy its settings from one to the other. Anyone know how?

Thanks! I kept trying to right click, drag and other ways from the Effects window when it was "hiding" in the Edit menu all along.
I sure miss the dialogue from FCP that would allow you to check off the particulars of the paste. Hope to see it in an update soon.
