Sequence and Clip Marker Color

VERY new user, so I'm probably overlooking something simple.
All of my sequence markers are showing up red in the timeline. The clip markers that I insert from the viewer or with a clip selected are also red (normal).
If I deselect all clips in the timeline and insert a marker using the canvas, the marker appears up in the timeline, but shows up red instead of green.
I'm working my way through the users manual just becoming familiar with everything and this has me stumped because I haven't changed anything.
I've deleted user preferences once and it didn't have any affect.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I made the sequence off line and save it as a new project. Then deleted the preferences and opened the project..... reconnected the media. Most of the clips showed the correct clip name and the sequence name also didn't change. But a few audio tracks still had the old problem....
Thanks for the reply.... haven't updated yet..

Sequence and clip name keeps changing... Why ? Solutions ?

The sequence and clip name on a particular project keeps changing. It usually takes the name of of an audio file. Deleting the preferences, opening the timeline in a new project, making it offline and reconnecting it again, et. all doesn't help ? What is causing this ? HELP

Unrendered Audio - sequence and clip settings are the same

When I drag a clip to the timeline a redline appears on the top of the timeline. I know this means that there is a setting issue between the sequence and the clips. All the settings are the same with the exception of the:
audio format - Clip: 8 bit integer
Seq: 32 Bit Floating
Audio Rate - Clip: 48000 5kh
Seq: 48.0 KH
The clips which is 1 1/2 HR takes 6 minutes to render.
Does anyone know why I need to render this clip?

And if you still have the problem, why not convert it to AIFF via QT?

Changing "2 Outputs" to "1 Stereo" To Match Sequence and Clips

I'm using Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 on a Macbook Pro. I initially posted this question on the wrong forum I think (Final Cut Pro X) but can't figure out how to just move it here, so I am posting it here.
My footage is:
1440x810, 29.7 fps, MPEG-4 Video Compressor, 44.1 KHz aud rate, 32-bit floating point.
The audio is set at "1 stereo."
My sequence is:
1440x810, 29.7 fps, MPEG-4 Video Compressor, 44.1 KHz aud rate, 32-bit floating point.
The audio is set at "2 outputs."
When I drop footage into the sequence, it says the audio needs to be rendered. The only thing that doesn't match between the sequence and the footage is the Audio Outputs. I did select to have my sequence match clip settings when prompted. I've looked through sequence settings and nothing changed it, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change "2 outputs" to "1 stereo" (or vice versa) without having to re-compress all the footage and then re-import it.
I also tried the "Match Audio Outputs" command, but nothing changed when I did that either.
I have this problem every time I edit and usually just resort to re-compressing the footage, but that can take days and I'd like to avoid that.
Am I missing something?

I didn't record the footage, I'm just the editor. I can ask Julie & Brandy (the people in the video) what camera they used if that's important, though? They sent it to me as mov files on a disc.
These are the clip properties (is this visible? it looks so small in my window but the screenshot i took is way larger, hopefully it will expand)
These are the sequence properties:
Also, even though it says 16-bit there, it says 32-bit on the browser:

CC2014 Wont play and has lost sequences and clips

I would really appreciate help! I have googled but not found any help!
I have been using Premiere for almost 2 years now and loved the fact that I can subscribe and do updates as they come out. I have setup a "template" with certain parts the same each time (Intro, Outro etc). I edit Safari videos with different sequences for the parts that change each time (arrival, safari, dinner etc different clients), unfortunately I have not figured out a way to save a project with just the footage being used so it uses clips from old projects in different folders. I had to buy an external hardrive as my internal hardrive is too full. I saved all the folders onto the external hardrive. When I opened a project it will say missing media, this is not a problem as once I have located the file it updates everything (after about 3 searches). Great.
But since I update to CC 2014, I am experiencing the following issues:
Projects (from previous version) have lost their sequences in the project window - only the main sequence has remained (which I named MASTER)
Certain clips are now missing in the sequence (just gone, not even a block with "missing media")
Premiere usually does not always play, sometimes I have to restart and reload projects a few times before it will play (I have tried both the spacebar and the play button on the project monitor)
The ` does not maximize the window anymore!
I tried to maximize a window by clicking on "Maximize panel group" on the menu button of the Sequence Header - my MASTER SEQUENCE disappeared!! No amount of Undo could help
It seems that the new "Improved" 2014 version is full of bugs, and this happens just when I have some deadlines! I have tried updating from the CREATIVE CLOUD interface but it loads the update up to 50% and then says Update Failed (after numerous efforts)
Could someone please advise.

Why can't I see my clips in color

I am using send to color from FCP - SD footage
When it opens in color some of the clips just aren't there or it is the incorrect scene. Some of them work great. I took the clips that weren't in color, put them in their own sequence and sent to color and got a totally different scene. I did slow the footage down and it was from a mulit-clup, but I told the sequence to flatten all of the multiclips. Any info?

Okay, that's not in the manual but it should be in the Release Notes.
Multi-clips aren't handled (well) by the hidden XML export. FT/Color doesn't know which clip to address, even if it has been "flattened". Peruse your "Shots" bin. You'll probably wind up rendering out the selected angles as independent clips to get COLOR to recognize them.
Speed changes: not handled well, either. It apparently shows the correct frames now, for linear/constant factors, but it will attempt to render the ENTIRE ORIGINAL SOURCE CLIP no matter how long it is -- eg. the entire one hour of material if you did a "Capture Now" on a tape, even if you only selected a few frames of it.
Also consider the non-support of Drop frame.

Project renames sequence and all clips in the sequence when a clip is added

My project is renaming my sequences and the clips in those sequences whenever I add a clip. For example, I have a sequence called "dance section 2", which contains 20 some-odd clips with various names. When I add a clip named "drop from above", the name of the sequence is changed to "drop from above", and the name of every other clip in the sequence is also changed to "drop from above" (video, audio, stills, everything). When I add a clip named "spins", all the names are changed to "spins".
The name of the sequence is changed in both the timeline and the browser, but the names of the other clips are changed only in the timeline. In the browser, they keep their old names. The exception to this is the last clip added before the name changer. For example, if I add "drop from above" to the sequence, and then add "spins", the clip named "drop from above" is renamed "spins" in the browser as well as in the timeline, but the other clips are renamed only in the timeline.
The clips in the sequence also keep their original content - so the sequence looks the same as it did before, but all the names of the clips are changed.
This is only happening in one project. All of my other projects are working fine.
I've tried restarting and deleting preferences. I've also looked at the autosave vault for the project. The backup projects saved after a certain time all behave the same way, and the projects before that time all behave normally. I can't imagine what would have caused this, though, since I've been working on this project all day and nothing's happened to my computer or hard drive or anything.
Also, there are no freeze frames at the beginnings of my sequences (I read another thread with a somewhat similar issue and getting rid of freeze frames seemed to help that person).
I'm in FCP 7.0 on a Macbook Pro.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the discussions...
I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.

Fcpx - after selecting part of a clip, marking in and out, pressing the e key does not add it to the timeline. what do I do?

At the Mac store they showed me how to select part of the clip, Mark in an out, and then use the key board shortcut, the E, to move back down to the end of the timeline. At home it refuses to do that. I can't even drag it down. I am using Snow Leopard, not lion. Can anybody tell me why I can't get the material down to the timeline except as an entire clip?

I was stuck in this exact same position yesterday, and wow was it ever frustrating. I can't remember the exact steps I stumbled upon to figure it out, but basically you need to create a "project" (not a "sequence" like you'd think - there is no "new sequence" command in FCP X) and that "project" will in fact be the sequence you are able to add your selections to.
The same real estate the sequence lives in is also where the "project library" lives, which will overtake your sequence if invoked - look to make sure the film reel icon at the bottom left of the screen is not active (blue). If it is active, click it to make the project libary go away.
I'm still struggling with FCP X as a long time professional FCP 7 user, and from what I've read this isn't uncommon. Best of luck getting past these fisrt few awkward hurdles and onto the actual editing (which, I have to say, so far I am having a hard time being precise or creative with).

Color correction problem between original sequence and multicam sequence... Please help

I used three camcorders to record a youth dance recital. I created an orginal sequence for the three camcorders and another sequence using the multicam feature to edit the dances. After I finished editing, I went back to the original sequence to make some color correction and brightness adjustments using the Fast Color Correction controls. After that, I sent everything to Encore to create a DVD. When I watched the DVD, I noticed some of my color correction settings were still off, so I went back to the orginal sequence to make some changes. Unfortunately, the multicam sequence would not read the new settings. After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the clip from the multicam sequence to read the clip from the original sequence, I decided to start over by clearing the Fast Color Correction controls from the clip. The multicam sequence then adjusted back matching the original sequence. However, when I started a new Fast Color Correction control in the original sequence, the multicam sequence would not take the new settings. How to I get the mulitcam sequence to read the orginal sequence?

Thank Jim for replying:
I am stumped on this one. I did a few radical tweeks and it did not take. For example, I made one clip in the original sequence go completely dark. However, the clip in the mulicam sequence did not change.
I even deleted the render files and the work area render files and started over with making changes. Nothing. Any change I make on the original sequence will no longer adjust in the multicam sequence.
Any last words of advice before I delete the entire multicam sequence and start over? Thanks.

How to add "clip marker" to clip in sequence?

Hi,
i need to add markers to clips in my sequence. In 5.5 i'd just select the clip in the sequence and then go Marker > Clip Marker > Set. I don't see this option in 6, was it moved or removed? Right now i have to add a few steps and double click the clip in the sequence to load it into the viewer and then add a marker and that's a complete waste of time. Is this the only way to do it in 6?
Thanks

Thanks Ann,
in case anyone else needs this. here's an image.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

Hello all,
I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem. In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color. I understand why that is needed for plate printing. However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color. I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor. I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black". However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black". I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works. I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand. Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious.
With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W. The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost. I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks. When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page. When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page.
I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing. I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

Change color for trim and registration mark

The trim and registration marks are having the color name "All" in the generated pdf from InDesign. Any one help me out on how to change the color to K (black) while generating PDF out of InDesign.

JohnAD77 wrote:
Is it possible to make to 4/c to 1/c (black 100%) while generating PDF itself without adding marks in the document?
Maybe, in CS6, by exporting to Grayscale, but this will make everything black ink only. Otherwise, no.
To add your own marks, add a slug area to the file, draw whatever you want for marks in that area, using [Black], and turn off automatic marks in the export dialog, but Include Slug Area under the bleed settings.

I create a new sequence, put the clips in the timeline, save sequence, click on another sequence, then return to the recently created sequence, and it's blank. ??

I have created a new sequence, dragging my subclips in. All looks fine. I save. I return to another sequence, then go back to my recently created sequence, and it is blank.

Set Marker Color Bug

I was relieved after much digging to find you can make a keyboard shortcut to make a marker of a specific color with just one click. As opposed to making a marker and then going back to it to change its color.
However for some reason when using this while playing a clip, this only works in a timeline, or on a video clip. When I use the same command on an audio only file, i.e. music cue. It just creates a marker of the default color 1. - This is only when playing the clip. If you park the playhead it works as expected no mater what the clip is.
I'm frustrated, because the main reason I needed this feature was to tap out the beats in music for easier editing while I listen to the music cue (in real time). I like to use color 1 for each beat in the 4-4 measure, and on the fourth measure tap out a new color so i can see where it repeats.. that way I can easily cut from color 2 to color 2 almost anywhere in the song seamlessly. Sometimes I choose a third color when the melody loops so I know I can smoothly truncate a song with little to no effort.
I noticed after the fact I can jump back to the marker and change it's color with the tool.. it just won't do it on an audio file while it's playing.
Is this just a bug? Just a bug on my system? Is it an intentional workflow on Adobe's part for some reason? Anyone else having this problem?
To map it open up keyboard shortcuts and sift for "set marker color"

Yes, I know it. But if I set attribute values on my page, everything is right. If I set it from code, there is an error.
I think that it is a bug, because component, for which I set attribute, has client id like: UIDataId:rowIndex:componentId. I set value to component on the third row, and have this value on components on the third and the fifth row.
To tell the truth, I am sure, that it is a bug. If it is not so, please tell me, how an I set attribute value to component, which I need. Is there any way? I think, no. And it is a bug.
