Setting in and out markers for capturing.

i am learning final cut pro, and have also purchased a new camera. I was under the impression that a tape based camera goes through wear on the heads the more you use it... having said that i just finished chapter eight of capturing video in final cut pro, and am under the impression that i have to watch the video, set my in and out point/ set markers to select the footage to be used, and then it has to play the footage again to capture it?..... so your camera is always going to have to go through the wear of recording original footage,rewind footage...play footage to mark in and out points, and the a third time to capture is this correct? also are a lot of people using these expensive formatting devices that you plug into your camera so when you record your original footage it records on the tape and on this device so you can access the device and not put so much wear on the camcorders tape heads?

sounds like you are very efficient in your work.
You have to be if you want to get anything done in a timely manner, and if you want to be able to find footage quickly.
I thought that i should do that after the fact, but then i thought that in cases of collecting a lot of rough footage that there may be a several areas of footage you dont want to use that you are asking the camera to play when it doesnt need to.
Exactly why logging your footage is so important. Not only do you see what you have, but you can make sure you don't capture stuff you don't want or don't need, and that saves tons of space. Plus the mere fact you are logging, capturing and organizing your footage means that you are getting more familiar with what you have. This is of MAJOR importance to an editor.
I am going to be doing this for a living
Then learning good editing habits early on is a must.
Lemme take this moment for shameless self promotion, and point out my Tutorial DVD on how to be organized in FCP:

Start out organized and you'll find that you edit much faster and more efficiently.

  • Setting Build-In/Out markers for multiple animated tracks

    I have built a title that has the the Build-Optional markers so that the user can trim the title without altering the animation timing. However, the title has an additional animation running through the sequence. This means that the Build-In and Out affect correctly the in and out animation (a slide in and out) but they dont stop the retiming of the animation that is running throughout the entire sequence!!! Is there a another method? It doesnt look like you can apply Build-In/Out markers to individual tracks?!

  • Setting In and Out Points for Render

    Hi everyone!
    I was wondering how to tell color to only render from and in and out point, instead of rendering for a whole clip. In FCP I take a ten minute capture, then break it up into sub-clips for each shot, and then edit some of these sub-clips into my video.
    When some of these sub-clips require correction in Color the sequence gets sent to color just fine, but when it renders my changes it renders it to the whole clip that the sub-clip came from. This takes too much time because I only need the sub-clip to be rendered, not the whole clip, because that's all I use in my video.
    How can I fix this extra rendering? Thanks in advance!

    I think that you might find the answer to your question on this link below.

  • New problem/bug when I set in and out points on a clip. Unwanted automatic zoom in on clip timeline.

    Playing clips to log and set in and out points for scenes I will use later.  Something changed with the new update and I think it is a bug.  When I hit the I and O keys to set in and out points on a clip before dragging to the sequence, it zooms in on the clip timeline.  I cannot see the full clip time line unless I zoom out which is a pain to do time and time again.  How do I get it back to the way it was before?  It did not used to zoom in and out, it just marked your in and out point as it played leaving the clip timeline unchanged.
    I am using windows 7 with Premiere Pro CC

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post. I think you are using Premiere pro CS6 as the Project option is included in the file menu and in the video there is an option of project available and visible. Please update your CS6 with the latest 6.0.5 update and the issue will be fixed. The link is provided below. Please update once issue is fixed.

  • In and out markers missing in QT Pro?

    I've just bought QT Pro 7 and want to edit a movie into separate clips. I can see a timeline indicator but no in and out markers for selecting certain sections of the movie. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Carol

    Quicktime Pro can't edit MPEG-1 or 2 videos. You need something like MPEG-Streamclip a free program to be able to edit these type of videos.

  • Can you set in and out in FCP X

    can you set in and out in FCP X

    Yes, but its usefulness depends on what you are trying to do.
    In and Out Points are no longer options on ingesting clips (formerly "Logging and Capturing") into FCP.
    You can use I/O Points to select clips in the clip browser (good for attaching keywords & metadata...a nice addition to the new FCPX).  I honestly haven't used I/O points in the Timeline to understand it's complete functionality.

  • Can't get in and out markers to work

    In Pro 7, I can't find the In and Out markers on some clips I've downloaded off Limewire. When I go File:New audio and record blank noise for a few seconds, the markers appear. How can I get the markers and trim down my Limewire clips? Thanks

    I've seen a few times in the past what you are talking about. But, the in and out sections would fade in and out.
    Try doing a save as to the movie and see if this makes the player a little more stable,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • Setting In and Out points

    Is it me or is it a complete PAIN to set in and out points in 7? Used to be easy. It's almost impossible sometimes to grab the playback head without it selecting an i/o point. Once I finally do get the markers where I want 'em, the In point moves when I press play?
    What the ****?

    You can use the arrow keys (right left) to step through frames. You can use the letters i and o to set in and out points.
    Hold down the shift key (after setting a point) and you can use the arrow keys to create a selection.

  • Setting in-and-out points  -- is this possible?

    I set in-and-out points in the preview window by dragging the blue triangles.
    I would like to sample various parts of a clip, though there are only 2 triangles.
    1. Is there a way to take one segment of video and establish in-and-out points for maybe the first 30 seconds of video and than set another in point maybe 1 minute later with a out point 30 seconds after that. So ultimately the encoding will encode two non-sequential segments of video.
    Thanks.

    You can't do that, but you can achieve what you want by simply dragging in the clip multiple times into Compressor and for each clip, set your in and out point.

  • Setting in and out points in list view.

    I am in list view.  I am showing several favorited clips from one video.  Say I am playing back the third favorited range and I want to select in and out points for that favorited range.  The video is playing and I hit i.  I am immediately jumped from the favorited range I have selected to the first favorited clip in the list.  When I click back on the clip I was setting the in point for I find that it has set the in point where I wanted.  The entrire process then repeats when I try to select the out point.  Set out point.  Jumps up to first clip.  Click back on original clip to get to my out point.
    This is very frustrating and makes using favorites and list view a huge waste of time.  Can anyone help?

    That should not happen.  Before anythign else, do these two things.
    1- Go into the "Final Cut Pro" menu, "Command", and be sure "Default" is checked.   Quit out of FCP X.
    2- Open System Preferences (Apple menu), Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts.  Click the "Restore Defaults" option.  The issue here is OS shortcuts will override app shortcuts.
    3- Launch FCP X and try again.  If that doesn't fix it...
    4- Download the free app "Preference Manager" from  Digital Rebellion (dot com) and use it to delete the FCP X pref files.
    After you've done all of these, report back and let us know what's up.

  • Is it Possible to set Top and Bottom Margin for each section?

    I've been googling and haven't found an answer to this problem.
    I need to specify a different top and bottom margin for each section in my document. The "document margins" apply to the whole document, so I've set those to a low amount, and I can set the Layout Left and right margins - but the "Layout Margins" do not allow "top and bottom" only "before and after". This is a critical difference, because if you have 2 pages in a section, only the first page gets the "before" margin, and only the 2nd page gets the "after" margin. This is a little odd, and I'm frankly surprised we are in version 4 of this app - and you can't set top and bottom margins for each section.
    If you insert a "layout break" on each page, then you can get the margins to reset for each page inside a section, but this is not an acceptable workaround as I need to setup templates for staff to use that will "flow" like a normal word processor.
    Does any one have any suggestions?

    On page 49 in the English Guide version it tells you about Lay-out margins. This is the text
    *Defining Layout Margins*
    *In a word processing document, a layout margin is the space around columns in a*
    layout.
    *To change the layout margin in a word processing document:*
    *1 Click in a column.*
    *2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Layout.*
    *3 To change the outside margins of the column(s), enter values in the Left and Right*
    *fields under Layout Margins.*
    *4 To specify the amount of space above and below the column(s), enter values in the*
    *Before and After fields under Layout Margins.*
    *The new margins can’t extend outside the page margins set for the document in the*
    *Document inspector.*
    I hope this helps.

  • In and out markers

    Is it just me or is the online help manual not always that helpful?  When splittling clips in says to insert in and out markers but it does not really tell you how.
    I found them in the clip drop down menu but they are grayed out.  I want to be able to add back a few frames if needed when editing a video.  I used to use pinacle studio and you could just drag the end of any clip to restore frames.

    There are several ways to add In & Out Points (not ever heard them called "markers") in a Clip.
    One way is to Dbl-click on the Clip in the Project Panel. This will Open the Clip in the Source Monitor. There, you can use the In & Out Poiints (maybe these are the "markers" referred to), in the Source Monitor. When done, drag the Clip from the Source Monitor to the Timeline. This creates an Instance of that Clip. You can have unlimited Instances, and they can all have different In & Out Ponts.
    Another way to do this is to drag the Clip from the Project Panel to the Timeline. At the Head of the Clip, click-drag to set the In Point. Now, click-drag on the Tail, to set the Out Point.
    A variation of the above is to drag the Clip to the Timeline, then use the Scissors/Razor Tool (or Ctrl-K, with the CTI where you want to Cut) to Cut the Clip. Separate it, as is required. Then Rt-click on all sections to be removed, and choose Delete and Close Gaps.
    Remember, your original AV file is NOT harmed, or changed in any way. You are only writing instructions to the Project file, PREL, telling it what to do, when you go to output the Timeline. Don't worry about "cutting" Frames out, as they are not really gone. You can click-drag on a Head, or Tail, to get them back again.
    Now, when setting In & Out Points, if you are using Transitions, see this ARTICLE, as you WILL want to leave adequate Handles.
    Good luck, and happy editing,
    Hunt
    PS - I highly recommend Steve's books, his Basic Training and Learning Series on Muvipix.com.
