Shifting individual clips together in a track

When I edit an audio track, it creates individual clips. How does one move all these clips *together* (back or forward). As it is, I'm having to shift each on individually after each cut.

To select a group of clips/audio regions you can draw a selection rectangle around them:
click onto an empty space i the timeline directly below the first clip and then drag the mouse over all regions you want to select. You may need to create an empty track below the one you are working with to create space below the clips if tthe track is not the last one.

Pasting effects onto multiple selected individual clips on the same track

Ok,
What am I missig? I know this has to be possible, probably the first thing they developed.
PR CS3
I drag a long avi clip onto a track, then i slice it up so that things on the track below it can show through when needed... but now I want to apply an effect to everything on the track I sliced up in one fell swoop.
I easily can select everything on th etrack of course, but when I do anything related to pasting is greyed out everywhere.
help...

Bingo.
And for the benefit of future readers... I was trying to copy from the "effects control" box (totally allowed) and then paste onto a selected group of clips on the timeline window (appearantly not allowed).
ugh.
Thanks.

How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

Hi, Alex.
It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                              NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
(WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
     a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
     b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
     a. load your noise print file
     b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
     c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
         are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
     d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
         noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
     e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
         way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
         open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
         adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
     f. once you're happy with your settings, click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
               do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
     a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
     b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
     c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
     d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
     e. click Apply
     f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
     a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
     b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
     c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
     d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
     e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
     f. set the format / type / bitrate (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
     g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
[HERE IS THE CHEAT]
Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track. This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx. I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
Have fun!

Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

Hello,
I'm just starting to use Prelude. I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week. The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name? My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers. I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I would think this would be a very simple and common function. Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers. Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary. If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
Best regards,
Scott

Hi -
Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card. The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
   5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
   or
   5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Michael

Can you apply fx to individual clips after a multicamera edit? CS6

I have footage from a 5 camera shoot of a concert. What I want to do is perform a multicamera edit to choose what angles I want to use. After the edit, I would need to go back and apply warp stabilizer to any sections that need it. One of the cameras has a telephoto zoom and another is on a dolly track; there are certain points where these angles need warp stabilizer, and other times where they do not need warp stabilizer. I do not want to have to apply warp stabilizer to 2 and a half hours of footage from two cameras when much of that footage does not need stabilized.
Is there a way to first perform the multicamera edit, then go back and apply fx such as warp stabilizer, color correction, etc, to individual clips that need it?

Thanks! I didn't want to go through the whole process and find out I had to do it all over again.
Off to give it a try.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

I'm intrigued by this!
Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

Drag a clip to a new track?

New user here with a simple question I can't seem to find the answer to. How do I drag a clip to a new track and while making sure it stays locked in time? Usually there is a modifier key (like shift) to hold when dragging. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. I guess I need to "lock in time" a clip before I drag it. In other apps I've used you are able to just grab the clip and if you hold down the shift key before dropping it onto a different track, the clip stays locked to the same time. I thought there might be a similar command in Audition.

Aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it. Kind if like we do with video?

You could put the two clips on two different tracks with a slide overlap and fade the first clip out out and the second clip in.
Or trim both clips in a way, that the first clip ens with silence and the second clip starts with silence.

Editing and saving individual clips for import into iDVD

I've begun a large project digitizing many old family 8mm projector films. Each reel, varying in size from 3 to 20 min, was imported into iMovie HD 6 as individual clips. These clips are, in a sense, self contained movies. I want to use iMovie to mute the sounds, add a soundtrack, and make some visual adjustments. My goal is to create an iDVD project with several submenus based on location, in each menu will be a list of the reels (iMovie clips), that took place in each location.
I've figured out how to do everything except saving and exporting edited clips to iDVD. Since iMovie is set up to create one movie per project (the timeline represents one movie, right?), I can import individual clips into iDVD but they aren't edited. What I want to be able to do is drag one clip into the timeline, make my adjustments, save it, put it back with the other clips to be imported in iDVD, and repeat the process. Is this possible in iMovie? Should I get something else like Final Cut Express?

I gather that what you want to do is modify the clips and save them as self contained movies for eventual import into iDVD.
Edit your clip in iMovie, add your sound track, and then File/Export/compress movie for Full Quality to your desktop as a self contained Quicktime Movie. Each of these self contained Quicktime Movies can be dragged into your iDVD project by dragging them to the edge of the main iDVD menu window.

Grouping a clip's mono audio tracks after capture

Every time I drag a clip to the timeline, I have to click on the clip, and link the audio tracks as a stereo pair, which is really annoying. After a while, I realized that this is because whoever captured the clips forgot to group tracks a1 and a2 together, so now the clips all have two seperate mono tracks.
Now that the clips are already captured, how do I group the two audio tracks into a stereo pair?

Hey Red Truck,
It sounds like you're pretty much doing everything right. My guess is that if your footage was shot, "logged and transfered" with 4 mono audio tracks (like a lot of HD tapeless stuff does, XDCAM, P2) then this little trick might not actually work. If your footage was shot, logged and digitized as 2 mono tracks (again, maybe the diff being a 2 channel miniDV tape as opposed to the common 4 channel HD stuff) the trick usually works. But truthfully, once in a while I noticed it doesn't work and am still unable to explain why.
I kinda have a feeling that I've only ever used the trick on DV-NTSC and DVCPRO 50 two-channel footage and not on HD footage that typically comes in 4 channel mono off P2 and XDCAM.
I'll try to do a test at my end and see if I'm even in the ballpark on this guess. I'm also assuming you're trying this on 4-channel HD footage since you mentioned "...(or four) mono audio tracks" in your post. If you are, for the fun of it, media manage an HD clip down to DV-NTSC with 2 channel stereo audio and try the trick.
It does work as I've done it numerous times on shows in FCP when assist editors accidentally logged and batch captured hours and hours of footage as dual mono instead of stereo.

Stringing Clips Together on One Line

Hello All,
I've been having a problem. When I string clips (separate shows) together on one track for the purpose of looping them as one whole body of work I encounter a problem. After the frist shows play (both audio and video) it moves to the second show where the video does not play (the screen stays black). The audio however does play. Can you help please.

hey lew,
are you having this problem in simulator or your burned disc?
also, you can go about your loops in a couple of ways:
like you suggested, string them along on the same video stream (this will be the most seamless way to do it for playback) or you can also but each stream on its own video track.
i guess my next question is how is your DVD set up.
i am sure with the right info, someone in here can help ya

Multicam clips appearing as seperate tracks on sequence.

Normally when I drag a multicam clip into a sequence, it comes in as one video and one audio clip from which I can select angles using the normal multicam workflow.
However, as of yesterday whenever I try to drag a multicam clip into a sequence, it appears as seperate clips on different tracks (as shown here - imgur)
I know I can get around this by creating a nest for each import and then removing the undesired audio, but I have a lot of clips to get through and I'm hoping to restore my previous workflow. Anyone have any idea why this may have changed, and how I can change it back?
Thanks,
G

Is this anything to do with the 'Insert and overwrite sequence as nests or individual clips' button, top left of the sequence pane?

me and my girlfriend have 2 iPhones i want them to sync individually not together same apple id
with icloud it merged our games and contacts and its a pain but before ios 5 with cloud it worked normally

Keep your shared AppleID for iTunes purchases, but use separate iCloud accounts for syncing. would suggest also using the separate accounts for iMessage.

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

Making individual clips from the timeline.

So here's what I'm trying to do: put a mess of clips in a row on the timeline, use the blade tool to pick out the bits I want, then take those bits and get the individual clips to export through compressor, and to do this by making as few duplicates as possible (I would like to media manage the project or save space in any way possible). Again, I don't want the timeline as an edited sequence, I am trying to pull individual clips. Also, I need to be able to name them differently (which I can't seem to do by simply pulling the clips into a bin-I rename one and all the ones like it get renamed as well). What is the best way to do this?

1.) Then don't use sequences for this type of work.
2.) Then adjust your In & Out points to create handles.
From the Manual, what is a subclip:
A clip created to represent a limited portion of a media file. By artificially
limiting the duration of a media file, a subclip allows you to work with smaller
sections of a media file. These subclip limits can be removed at any time so you can
work with the whole clip. For example, if an original media file is 10 minutes long, the
Browser clip is also 10 minutes long. You can make a 1-minute subclip and work with
the subclip as if the media were only 1 minute long. For more information, see
Chapter 2, “Creating Subclips,” on page 35.
