Ripple / Insert edit

took the plunge, bought fcp x. with all well documented issues aside, i like the program. the fact that i digested 12 hours of slr footage and began working immediatly has paid for itself.
i have an issue i cannot seem to figure out, feel im overlooking. im trying to do a simple ripple (insert) edit: W (keystore). when i select a clip from my event, press W, it inserts the clip to the main storyline and ripples all videos out, as expected. unless i have a a few videos whose connector points are BEHIND the insert (skimmer) point, then the ripple edit messes up the timeline. i know i can change the connetor point location, but i dont wnat to be chasing my tail all the time, as i add more and more footage.
hope my question is clear.
Tnx.

Do you want the later part of a clip connected to the main storyline to ripple when you insert your clip? If so, you need to split the connected clip first by selecting it and choosing Blade from the Edit menu (or presssing Command-B). You can also use the blade tool.
Or do you mean that clips in connected storylines that are connected earlier in your timeline aren't rippled when you do an insert in the main storyline?
If you would like the clips in secondary storylines to ripple, you'll need to divide the connected storyline into two:
1. Choose where you'd like to insert your new clip
2. Select the secondary storyline
3. If there's no edit point in the secondary storyline, add one by choosing Blade from the Edit menu (or press Command-B)
4. Select the clips in the secondary storyline after your edit
5. Hold down the shift key (to stop the selected clips moving backwards or forwards in time) and drag upwards until the mouse pointer is outside the secondary storyline. That will remove the clips from the secondary storyline and add them as individual connected clips to the primary storyline.
6. Turn these connected clips into a storyline by choosing Create Storyline from the Clip menu (or press Command-G)
7. Insert the clip or range in a a clip selected in the current event by choosing Insert from the Edit menu (or pressing w)

Why does this happen when I insert editable region?

Hi ppl... I got a small problem here. When I insert editing region into the ORANGEBOX div, for some unknown reason which I can't figure out, my spry menu bar shifts to the left. But in preview, it looks fine. What's the reason for this and how can I avoid it? The shifted spry menu bar in the workspace is disturbing me.. haha.. I have attached screenshots of the 2 states below (Before inserting editable region and after inserting editable region)
Before inserting editable region into the ORANGE BOX
After inserting editable region into the ORANGEBOX
Here's the code BEFORE inserting editable region.. If you are free, do try to insert an editable region into the ORANGEBOX, and kindly tell me why it's happening! =) Thanks!

Insert Edit and Overwrite Edit Crashes This One Premiere Project

Hi All,
I'm working off of many premiere projects, and one crashes when I use the insert edit and override edit button. At first it was only if I used the keyboard command, but now it happens when using the mouse. I'm afraid the project file is corrupted.
Has anyone come across this issue? The workarounds I have tried include copying and pasting sequences to a new project, copying contents of a sequence into a new sequence, and importing an XML to a new project (which I thought would work, but I got an error message: Premiere experienced a generic message).
Any thoughts? I'm kind of stumped and don't want to lose a few days rebuilding the project file.

Thanks for the response, Mark. And giving the version makes sense...an obvious oversight on my part
Anyway, I was running 2014 and I actually ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling. Guessing that I was at 2014.0.0, but now I have 2014.0.1. Since doing that, I haven't experienced the crashes. And, yes, it was with merged clips.
HOWEVER, I still can't target audio only and insert/overwrite merged clips without jumping through a couple hoops. Works fine if I'm targeting video only with merged clips, or if I'm targeting audio only with any kind of clip (merged or non-merged). But audio only with merged? No deal.
In order to make that work, I have to go to the merged clip in the project window, select Modify, and then futz with the the audio channels. See screen shot below. Audio tracks 1 and 2 are from my DSLR. Tracks 3 and 4 are my "good" audio. Is this something that I should need to do for each merged clip to make them work?

Need to disable the insert edit in Timeline.

I'm piecing together a video to music right now and am finding that, when I drop and drag clips from the viewer to the timeline, I accidentally use the insert edit, only to find later on that some of my clips have been unknowingly moved around. Is there any way to disable the insert edit arrow in the timeline and only have the overwrite edit arrow active?
Thanks!

If you prefer dragging directly to the timeline, then you'll need to pay attention to where your mouse pointer is located in the appropriate video track before you release the mouse button. If you look at an empty video track, you'll notice a line that runs just above the center of the track. If you drag a clip and your mouse is above that divider line, you'll perform an Insert Edit, if your mouse is below that divider, then you'll perform an Overwrite Edit. You'll see the mouse pointer change indicating the edit that you're about to perform.
From the FCP Users Manual:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/19589/Timeline%20Edit%20Zones.png
I will second the advice that was already given, performing edits with the keyboard or the Canvas overlays is MUCH more accurate than dragging directly to the timeline.

Insert Editing, Why Won't Clips Appear In The Timeline?

Every time I attempt an insert edit, either via the "downward arrow" symbol or via "W" on the keyboard the clip appears in a secondary time/storyline below the Timeline, with a blank space in the main Timeline of exactly the same duration as the clip.
Similarly if I drag a clip from one part of the Timeline to another the clip appears below the Timeline with a corresponding blank space.
I do not want a secondary, or indeed tertiary storyline, I want all my clips to appear on the Timeline. I am not bothered about the length of the project or if I alter the length during the editing process.
Suggestions will be appreciated,
Ron

Couldn't manage that Tom, my hands aren't big enough BUT I have since discovered that what I thought was the Timeline is in fact a secondary storyline, with the Timeline, dark grey, below it. If I insert edit the clip appears correctly on on the Timeline with the two adjacent clips above on the Secondary line.
I have no idea how this happened. I started off my edit by by using the "append" arrow but the clips appeared and lined up together on this Secondary storyline.
A very laborious task in dragging each clip off the Second line and onto the Timeline. Nearly an hours worth of short clips!
I am about to start another project so will want to be certain to get all onto the Timeline. Perhaps my settings were wrong or I've inadvertently pressed the wrong key. Ron

Problem with insert edit on hdcam sr 5500

Hi,
We are having a hard time doing insert edit (video only) with our Kona 3 card. What it does is that it records a few black frames after the out point. In point is frame accurate. If we transfer the same edit via Avid (on the same computer, but using a separate boot drive) everything is fine. We would prefer being able to do it directly from Final Cut, though.
We use FCP 7.0, quicktime 7,6,2 MacPro 3ghz dual quad core Xeon, 4gb ram, Leopard 10.5.8
Any idea of a workaround?

Ah...I've been bitten by this. Make sure you are in EDITING mode, not MASTERING. Or, if you are in MASTERING, click on the MASTERING SETTINGS tab and make sure to UNCHECK the TRAILER black.

Insert edit partially disabled

i was doing some simple edits on Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, when suddenly the program began operating differently, as if i changed a setting.
when i drag clips around on the timeline, i no longer have the option of choosing an insert edit. i only can do an overwrite edit. this occurs whether or not my mouse cursor is above or below the horizontal line.
i consulted the internet, and i discovered the option of dragging the clip from the Viewer into the Timeline. When I do this, i am given the option of insert edit or overwrite edit.
I also found out about pressing the "option" key while dragging the clip from one place to another on the timeline. This allows me to do an insert edit, but it also leaves the original clip in it's former place, which I have to go back and delete.
Using these two methods is OK, i guess, but I'm a novice editor and I was very comfortable simply dragging my clips around on the timeline, rearranging the order. How can I get back to this?
I've started new projects, but the problematic program behavior remains. I've also gone back to old projects where this was never an issue, and the behavior occurs here, too.
Andrew

unfortunately, this didn't help me. i tried to use the Preference Manager program to dispose of any altered preferences, but the program told me there were no preferences saved.
similarly, I tried to go to Library/Preferences to delete the appropriate file and thus bring Final Cut back to it's original settings, but the file that was specified is not there (i assume because there are no preferences saved).

Insert Edit/Mastering to tape

I am trying to do an insert edit (audio only) to tape (Beta SP). I am getting an error message saying "Incompatible Compression Settings...Try nesting in Sequence with correct setting...blah, blah blah"
The sequence settings for audio are 16 bit 48k and the audio file is 16 bit 48k, so that looks right.
If you have experience with insert editing and have seen this problem, I would appreciate your help with this.

Insert Edit adds Frames of Black -- HELP!

We have to fix some simple video problems before our show is broadcasted on Tuesday. We are doing an Insert Edit from our Sequence Line onto our master tape.
The clips that we insert lay down perfectly at the In Point marker BUT, at the Out Point the Insert Edit adds 2 frames of black.
These black frames do not exist on the Sequence line, so we know that it only happens when we Insert Edit the clip onto the tape. The end result? Our master tape becomes further damaged.
I have done a search here, but have not found an answer. What stupid silly button am I not pressing?
Other info:
The project is 23.98, HD, Uncompressed 4:2:2 -- same with the SonySRW 5000 deck and Master tape. Mac.

First, make a backup copy of your master tape! Even if it's a dub to DVD, make it. Heck, make two!
The likely culprit is a simple mismatch between your timecode standards as Jim asked, drop and non-drop, but that should be easily discerned by your techs if you're using high end gear. The mismatch in code types often manifests as a frame or two.
Figuring out where the black is coming from is all about deciding if the insert is two frames longer than your sequence or your deck is messing it up.

Insert edit on to tape

If I have a tape with the exact same time code that is also on a timeline, can I insert edit a segment from the timeline/sequence onto the tape without breaking the time code on the tape?

Outputting how? Firewire? Capture card? To what? DV? Digibeta? DVCPRO HD? HDCAM?
Details man...

Cut in & Insert edit functions not operational.

I have FC Express 4.1. Using it for 1st time since I bought it. Can't get the cut in (F9) or insert edit (F11) to work. There are no buttons for these items below the canvases as per Final Cut Pro. How do I set it up?
ANY PROMPT HELP GREATLY REQUIRED!
ps: sorry about the Avid lingo -I'm an Avid editor by trade.

F9, 10, 11 are defualted to Expose and Spaces and you can turn them off in System Preferences then FCE works with these keys.

Insert Edit

I know this is pretty basic, but I just turned to a Mac and Final Cut Express. I am editing a project and I am trying to insert video in front of another piece but it keeps moving everything down and I don't want it to slide down. How do I insert edit

That's what an insert edit does. It moves everything down in the timeline to make room for the clip. What do you want to happen? You can overwrite. That wipes out what's already in the timeline. Or you can overwrite to another track and that puts it on top of the other clip. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do if you want to do an insert that doesn't move the rest of the clips in the timeline.

Insert Edit Mode

Yikes! I must have pressed a key-combo that got me into an insert edit mode (deletes next char right of cursor as it enters what you type).
Can't get out without a restart. Nothing in Prefs or Prefs>Shortcuts that I can see which mentions this, geewizz Adobe what gives?

I'm going to return this conversation to the first thread I started.
The commented line generates an exception btw. First two lines okay.
EDIT:
Will discuss on other thread:
AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards
END EDIT
Just realised that thread isn't mine so this thread will let me give credit where it's due
I'll link over to this one from that one if we get a result.
Yeah when I type "app.activeDocument.a" I do not get a prompt listing for artBoards. The Object Model Viewer is pretty useless IMHO. The description are like A: A is a property of alphabet. Cheers OMV!
Okay,
Document.artboards (Read Only) // lowercase 'a' coloured text didn't make it onto the forum post :\
Data Type: Artboards
Adobe Illustrator CS4 Type Library
All artboards in the document.
That works. Now for artboard range setting…

Insert edit problem

How can I do an insert edit without splicing the audio track? It keeps doing this and I don't know why. I have the audio tracks disconnected, or deselected so it should not be doing this.

Lock the audio tracks.

How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08?

How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08? I have a single, long event that I'd like to do insert editing on. I'd also like to insert transitions. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
thanks!!

How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08? I have a single, long event that I'd like to do insert editing on. I'd also like to insert transitions. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
1) Move a clip (or any portion thereof) from your Event clip to your project and place it where you need it.
2) With the newly added clip still selected in your project, grasp and move the right and left handles to set the exact frames you wish to use as your "in" and "out" points.
3) Select the "Spit" option to segment the selected area into what you want to keep and what you don't need.
4) Select the segment(s) you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove it/them from the project window.
5) Repeat as needed to create your sequence of segments and then add titles and transitions as needed.
Note: Since your editing in iMovie '08 is non-linear, non-destructive, and "by-reference," you can source the same content multiple times to a single project or even to multiple projects and overlap your "splits" since they are "logical" rather than physical.
