Selecting multiple keyframes in edit window

i am trying to figure out how select multiple keyframes at once in the edit window, to drag either to start or end of a clip instead of doing it one by one, i have used premiere for a long time, and i am used to just dragging a marquee box over the desired keyframes and moving them, i just cant seem to find out out this simple process in fcp. thx

You cannot grab a "selection" of keyframe's and move them within the clip, it is an all or nothing operation with FCP ... and its been yet another of the major failings of the app for a long time, the sort of thing that was forgivable for a fairly long while, but really by now it should have been addressed.
PLEASE post your feelingson this to the FCP feedback page
In the meantime, if you're happy to move all the keyframes of a specific clip rather than just a small selection, or if are happy to divide (blade tool) the clip into sections so as the keyframe slip only affects specific keyframe selections, then the operation is different depending on whether you want to slip audio of video keyframes ...
Video keyframes can be slipped relatively simply audio keyframes are a bit trickier.
*FOR VIDEO*
Toggle open the keyframe overlay area on the timeline (option T)
Right click in this area of the clip whose keyframes you want to adjust and choose those keyframe properties that you want to adjust from the drop down menu
Then hovver your mouse over the keyframe line that appears for those properties (not on a keyframe itself but on the line that joins them) ... the cursor should change to a || shape, and if you click and drag the keyframe line whilst in this tool mode then the keyframes will move without moving the content.
*FOR AUDIO*
Lets assume that you have applied a series of audio level keyframes to a clip and now wish to slip them a little, heres how:
Load the audio clip from the timeline into the viewer
Select the Slip tool
Then simply click and drag on any keyframe (or anywhere on the level line itself) within the waveform area of the viewer to slip the clip's keyframes (the cursor will change to the slip tool as you hover over the right area)
... release the mouse button and you'll see that the keyframes have indeed slipped appropriately, whereas the clip's in, out and placement, has remained unchanged.
Unfortunately however, there's none of the feedback that we've come to expect from rest of the FCP interface during this process... no phantom marks showing where the keyframes are moving to, no counter to show how many frames left and right the keyframes are being moved.
It seems to be one of those not-quite-finished undocumented features.
Hope it helps
Andy

    Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
    Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
    If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

  • Selecting multiple images to edit the source code

    Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to select multiple
    images in a table and change there source code. The reason why I
    ask is that I recently decided to organize my assets folder by
    adding subfolders. Naturally, this makes my images appear as broken
    links. It's a pretty big site that I'm working on and I would like
    to know if there is a faster way than just selecting them one by
    one.

    If you would have created the folders within DW itself (file
    management), and moved images from one
    folder to the other, the links would have been adjusted
    automatically. Carrying out changes like
    this outside of DW will create broken links as you have
    found.
    Did you backup the original site, if so, and have a lot of
    broken links, it maybe worthwhile, going
    back to the original and use the file management to
    rename/create new folders and move your assets
    that way.

  • Dragging To Select Multiple Layers In Document Window?

    I've looked this up but can't seem to make it work.  I want to select the 6 or 7 layers that make up a picture in my file.  I'm working with a file someone else created so there are dozens of layers, which makes it hard to select just a few from the Layers Pallete.
    Is there an easy way to select all the constituent layers of a particular item on the document window?  I've tried ho0lding Shift down while trying to select all the layers, but that isn't effective because the layers are on top of eachother.  Is there no way I can drag my mouse and have Photoshop select every layer that is complete inside the dragged area?
    Thanks.
    Ken

    Ken, Marek's response is correct with regard to selecting, (read: targeting), layers in the Layers Panel.This is good if you need to apply a transformation to the contents of multiple layers simultaneously, use alignment/distribution features on those layers, or merge them.
    Your description of what you're attempting, however, suggests you want to select the pixels residing on particular layers. The way you're doing it isn't the way it works. What you want can be done, but not in the image window. In the Layers Panel, Ctrl+Click on the layer thumbnail of the first layer you want selected, (you should see the actuated selection in the form of 'marching ants' surrounding the layer's non-transparent pixels...in the image), then add the Shift key and Shift+Ctrl+Click on the layer thumbnail of each of the additional layers to subsequently add their non-transparent pixels to the selection.
    Note that all you're doing here is making a selection, as opposed to selecting the contents of multiple layers. Such a selection can only target a single layer, and any pixel-altering operation you apply with this selection active will only affect one layer...not all those that may have contributed to the additive selection-building process described.

  • Select and move multiple keyframs

    I just switched from Adobe Premier Elements on a PC to FCE 4. In PrEl, you can select multiple keyframes in their equivalent of the Viewer, you can them move them as a group. (Select them shift click or drag a square around them.)
    This is really useful for changing the timing of motion, i.e., if you decide that you'd like the motion to take a little longer etc.
    it also lets you move them to a different time w/out rick of changing the values in the overlay.
    I can't figure out a way to do this in FCE, is there a hidden way or something I'm missing?
    thanks

    I'd like to be able to stretch out a motion. For example, I scale in a photo. But I later decide the scaling should take 8 seconds rather than 5. I'd like to grab the 2nd keyframe for scale and rotation and move them both equally 3 seconds later.
    I believe moving a motion path just changes its position, but doesn't affect it's duration.

  • How do I select multiple items?

    Happy New Year.  I am a new Mac user.  Recently switched from Windows.  How do I select multiple rows?  In windows you can CONTROL+click to select multiple items 1 at a time and SHIFT+click to select multiple items in groups.  I figured out to do COMMAND+click on Mac to select multiples 1 at a time.  I need to delete ALOT of rows.  How do I select multiples in groups? 
    Thanks.

    KarenSelena and BobHarris have given you the direct sequences.
    You can also select multiple disjoint ranges with combinations of ⌘ (command key) click and ⇑ (shift key) click, too.
    As you use OS X, you'll find a large number of ⌘ and ⇑ and ˄ (control key) and ⌥ (option key) clicks and shortcuts available (and some were mentioned earlier), and shortcuts such as ⌘ A (select all), ⌘ Z (undo) and a whole host of other shortcuts available.
    Here is Apple's Mac 101 / Mac Basics site, which has a good (and free) introduction toward learning to use your Mac.

  • How to select multiple files with Trackpad

    I am new to Mac and to the Trackpad. I apologize if this has been posted.
    When I work on a Windows PC, if I want to select multiple consecutive files I can click on the first file, press and hold SHIFT and then select the last file and all files in between are selected.
    I tried that using the Trackpad and it doesn't seem to work the same way. Is there another key combination? I can select multiple files by either using SHIFT (on Picasa website for example) and then tap or by holding COMMAND and then tap each individual file. But how do I select multiple files similar to Windows, clicking first file pressing a key and clicking the last file.
    Thanks in advance for any input on this.

    If you choose 'view as list', you can use the shift-key. Select an item, press the shift-key while you press an item below and all the items between are selected.

  • Is there a "Select all keyframes to the right" command?

    Say in a 16 minute composition, you want to select keyframes from 5 minutes to 16 minutes and shift them earlier in the timeline. Keyframes from 0 to 5 minutes do not change. Can you select multiple keyframes to the right of 5 minutes like this? Perhaps a similar command like in Final Cut pro where you're able to select all clips to the right of your playhead.
    Thanks

    Don't believe you can select all keyframes forward.
    I take it the trick to select groups of keyframes - marquee-dragging - in the Keyframe Editor won't work for you here? Holding down Shift should constrain you to moving backwards and forwards in the timeline (and not, accidently, altering your actual values), in case that helps any...

  • Sample edit window Help!

    How can I play a selection In the Sample edit window with a key command?
    If I hit Space bar (my play/stop key command) it plays from the beginning, but it doesn't play the selection, and it doesn't play even from the playhead.
    Any ideas please?

    Here's what I'm imagining:
    you're using the main arrange window, you have your audio bin open as well as the sample editor. If you don't have the sample window selected, you may triggering from the audio bin. The tab key actually switches windows (within the arrange) and you'll see a subtle hi-lite of the active window.
    Maybe that'll help?

  • MDM: Search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images"

    Hi,
    are there possibilities to search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images" (if you want to add a image to a record)?
    I know the possibilities to sort the images and the possibilities with the data groups. But I don't know a possibilities to search for a single image.
    Thanks for any help!
    Best regards, Melanie

    Hi,
          From the question you asked; its not much clear what your clear requirement is; but if its what i get then the solution is:
          How is that you want to select the image? With Image view or By viewing the image itself ? For it when u select "Select Multiple Images" you can find two as "Available Images" and "Selected Images" and in between u can find some buttons, after "All, Add, Remove and None" you can find two buttons "Thumb Nail" and "view Details". I think you can use these buttons for your solution.
          When you select "Thumb Nail" button you can see the image in real and select the image.  OR you can select "View Details" and check the file name or path or the requirement as required.

  • 2.1.0.62: Bug editing text columns in multiple rows using editor-window

    Hello Forum,
    I hope this is not a double post, but I did not come up with the right keywords to search for.
    So here is the bug/strange annoying behavior:
    When I edit multiple rows of a table using the extra edit-window, it shows the text of the previous row I edited and not the text of the actual row.
    Well, sounds quit complicated so I'll give an example:
    Suppose you have a table with two columns and two rows. One column is of type varchar2. Say it contains the values "one" and "two".
    Now I click into the row containing "one", open the extra-edit-window and change the value to "one-1".
    Then I click into the second row and also open the extra-edit-window. The window shows "one-1" instead of "two" as it should.
    This is very annoying because I don't have autocommit activated and when I edit a couple of clob fields, the editor just shows the text of the previous field. I have to say commit for every row in order not to scramble the contents of multiple fields. I have to use the edit-window because the inplace editor is not very useful when editing large texts.
    I observed this bug with varchar2 and clob fields but it may not be restricted to those.
    I run Windows XP and conect to Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hello -K-,
    setting "Post edits on row change" indeed does prevent this bug, but leads to another problem:
    When I click the rollback-button, the table data is not reverted to its original state. In fact the changes are not commited, but rolling back, does not give the old data back. I can enter "rollback;" into the worksheet and then refresh the table data to show the old values but internally SQL Developer still thinks it has uncommitted changes in the table.
    I, for now, uncheck "Post edits on row change" and use the inplace editor wherever possible. That has some strange cursor bugs (sometimes puts the cursor to the end making it impossible to enter text in the middle of the field) but that does not affect other rows.
    Regards,

  • Version 10.1.8 SLOW and locks up Windows Explorer when attempting to select multiple files to open.

    User contacted L1 Tech Support when browsing server & attempting to simply select multiple adobe pdf's.  Passed to Support level 2. Level 2 deemed was not server as they could recreate the issue on any machine running 10.1.8 by copying in question pdf's or a group of random others to a local machine & get the same result.
    Other common observations, have latency when opening up pdf files via IE in ERP application.  Seems to be an issue with Adobe either versioning or inherent problems. ( have read through many "setting mod's & have verified "Starting in protected mode" is off ) any help or direction is much appreciated.  Next steps will be to open PDF's with another product.
    Consistent results on 300+ machines some XP some W764bit.
    Thanks!

    Hi ChesterCopperpot,
    Could you please elaborate your issue and provide more information like the exact version of internet explorer and how do you try to open multiple Pdf document using internet explorer at a time.
    Also tell me if you have attempted to disable some third party brower extention and plug-ins.

  • Selecting Multiple songs (Itunes 10.6 for windows)

    Hi there,
    I just recently updated to Itunes 10.6.3.25 and I just started having problem selecting multiple songs in my iTunes library.
    Basically, when I try to ctrl+click any song, the song info pops up, instead of selecting the song. Shift+click still works for me, but when I am making playlists, I need to ctrl+click to choose and pick songs. Has anybody ever had the same problem, or know how to fix this?? Thanks!

    Just a thought. I sometimes get random results from my wireless keyboard when it is either running low on batteries or my iPhone is too close to it.

  • Cannot select multiple images in iPhoto '08?

    What am I doing wrong? I want to select multiple images to either print several on a page, or publish to a gallery, but for the life of me I cannot find a view which shows me all photo thumbnails or all thumbnails in an album or all in an event. I can spin the mousewheel to singly go through them, or I can hit edit and go to full screen where I get a thumbnail bar and can select multiples and view them at the same time, but printing or publishing this selection only recognizes the first photo as selected. If I try to select View>Thumbnails, the subsequent menu options are grayed out, and the top one is "hide" even though I see no thumbnail bar. Is there something very obvious I'm missing, or has something gone awry and I should reinstall?
    <Edited by Host>
    Any one can help them?
    Thanks

    There's a slider down right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.

  • Adobe Premiere CC Crashes When Selecting Multiple Clips

    This project was already derailed by multicam, now that I've got my assembly edit ready to go, I've discovered a new show-stopper:  Premiere Pro CC crashes when I select multiple clips on the timeline.  I can't select more than 3 clips at a time, or the entire program comes crashing to it's knees.  Anyone else experiencing something like this?  Can anyone else reproduce this behavior? 
    Here's a video of the experience:
    http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
    Any word on an update?
    ASUS G75VX
    Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
    GTX 670MX, 3GB GDDR5
    16GB RAM

    Progress.  I've been able to isolate the problem.  On my timeline I have some "regular" clips and some "merged" clips.  Regular clips are from either source: a Canon 7D (MP4 / MOV) or a Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD).  The Merged clips are only from the Canon 7D only (for video) and an audio recorder (MP3 at 320kbps).  The 7D footage is 1080/24p.  The VIXIA also shoots in 24p.
    Since "Merge Clips" sync on audio is not working for me, I've employed my former CS6 workflow:
    1. Sync all of the video and audio clips through PluralEyes 3 resulting in a preliminary sequence, "Clips_to_be_merged_sequence".
    2. I work my way through each of the clips, adjusting the audio track(s) for variances in drift between the on camera sound and the audio recorder.  I do this enabling "Audio Time Units", rather than video frames, so I can get extremely acurate.
    3. When I have a timeline full of nicely syncronized audio/video pairs, I merge clips, one painstaking clip at a time (of course I set up a keyboard shortcut for this).  For the merge, I "sync on In points".
    4. The merged clip is added to my project panel.
    5. Now, when it comes time to choose my sound bite selects, I load the merged clip into the Source panel and mark my Ins and Outs. 
    6. Time to create a subclip, of course with the new SOFT handles. (I'VE BEEN WANTING SOFT HANDLES FOR A LONG TIME!!!)
    7. The subclip appears to be properly created and placed into the Project panel.  It even shows the correct duration (i.e. 14 seconds)
    8.  When I drag that subclip onto the timeline it drags the entire length of the parent clip, without in or out points (not just the 14 second subclip).
    9.  I undo and decide to go back through the original clips again; mark ins and outs and simply drop to the timeline (either Insert or Overwrite).
    So in the end, I'm using sections of the Merged clip, but I'm not using Subclips of the Merged clips (because that doesn't work).
    Now, what's happening, though I didn't know it when I recorded the video above, is that Premiere is crashing any time I select both "regular" footage and "merged" footage.
    So, two bugs here:
    1. Can't use Subclips that are derived from Merged clips in ANY timeline.  Once dragged to the timeline it expands to the full duration of the original clip.
    2. Can't select both "regular" and "merged" clips at the same time on the timeline.
    JStrawn (staff) was kind enough to offer to take a look at some small sample files.  But my interview clips are very long, and I'm concerned that if I export them, to make them shorter, they may not actually exibit the problems I'm having on the original clips.
    Anyone else using this type of "Merge Clip" workflow that could reproduce either the subclip-from-merged-clip bug or the mixed-selection crash given the steps above?
