Sliding video clips along the time line

Quite often as I edit, I like to place clips in the time line forward of my current edit point. For example I might find a shot that works well with a musical swell or beat  30 seconds down the track. With the magnetic time line, I can't slide that shot to the point on the time line without the shot wanting to ping back to the final edit in the time line, or you have to insert place holders or slug. Any ideas for a quick easy way to slid clips?

I had that problem. Solution for me is to take your cursor and not just drag the stuck clips laterally parallel but lift them up slighly in above the time line and move them in any direction. The connecting thin vertical blue line line will still be attached to the TL but some how lifting them up slghtly allows you to drag them anywhere into the TL.

  • Getting the audio back on a video clip in the time line

    hi all,
    and happy new year!
    have deleted the audio from a video clip in the time line and now want it back, how would I get the audio back?
    thanks for your time

    Put the playhead at the beginning of the clip and press the X key. It should mark in and out point for the clip. Press the F key to match frame back to the same clip. Make sure both video and audio target tracks are set correctly and press F0 to overwrite and edit the clip with audio back into the timeline.

  • Extending video layers across the time line simultaneously

    Any one Know how to extend video layers across the time line simultaneously?
    I have been working on a Video for a few days and have all the layers I need to make my video but when I came to start creting the clip on the timeline there was no promt asking me how long I want the clip to be. I want to extend all the layers on the clip to 21:10 seconds similtaniously. Ther is about 600 layers in numorous groups and I dont want to have to extend each layer across the time line to 21:10 seconds individualy?
    can any one help?

    it is currently lacking the ability to adjust the length using multiple layers at once. However that said, if you are done animating the layer individualy, you can select all layer (or a partial) and convert them to a smart object. That smart object can then be extended in time. Playing in photoshop maybe slower due to the smart object.

  • Overlays on the clips in the time line

    Hello
    I am not sure if there is an answer to my questions but maybe there is a trick i have not discovered as yet. I am having some serious issues with the overlays on the clips in the time line. With the overlays I mean the name of the clip, especially on the audio clips. It is so hard to work good with the audio clip in the time line especially when I want to put in a fade in the beginning or need to move the audio level up or down every time the name of the clip is in the way and i can not see the the waveform. I know I just could put the clip in the viewer and do it from there but in my opinion the viewer is very cumbersome to work with as you do not see the whole clip especially if work zoomed in or have a segmented clip. I find it much easier in the timeline except for the overlays there.
    I have written to apple but I guess they do not see a need it would be nice to have the ability to turn it off in preferences

    thanks
    is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
    anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
    one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
    once again thanks for your help

  • In the case I've deleted a clip in the tim line it's also deleted in the clip window

    I'm just starting with FCP and I've a problem concernig deleting a clip in the time-line. What is the correct way to delete it only in the time line?
    Thx a lot for your help

    You've opened the in the timeline, instead of in a Project, so when you delete it, it's lost from the browser.
    You can delete clips from a project without deleting them from the Browser. To create a project, use the film canister icon at the bottom left of your screen.

  • In the time line, cutaways and titles are supposed to be linked on the top side of movie clips in the time line window.  I don't know what I did, but now they are linked to the bottom side.  How do I get them up to the top where they belong?

    I'm working on a movie in FCP and using cutaways and titles in many places in the timeline.  While working on a movie 2 days ago, and I don't know what I did, all the cutaways and titles are now linked to the movie clips from below rather than above.  When I "grab" them and drag them up to the top-side, as soon as I "release", they go back down.  Along the menu bar, I've check the "view", "modify", "clips", etc., looking for any thing that might refer to appearance of the time line.  What must I do to get the cutaways and titles back on top where they belong?  The audio clips remained properly-linked to the time line and play properly.  The cutaways and titles can be seen but do not play. 

    The cutaways and titles should be linked above the timeline clips, not below

  • How to reclaim spare space back at the end of my clips on the time line

    When I have edited stuff on the time line I find that through moving clips around that I have an empty space after my collection of clips that I have arranged. How do I reclaim that empty space back so that where my clips end so does the time line.
    I have tried saving the project and reopening it but this does not seem to do anything as I still have the space left.
    Any help would be gratefully received Thanx ahead of time.

    Control click on the empty space and, on the drop down menu, click on Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then, delete the clip you just created.
    If the empty space is at the end of your movie, you can do the same as above. But, if your playhead still continues moving past the end of the movie, then expand your time line as wide as possible and check down your time line for little bits of clips left over from editing, and delete those. Any audio that extends past your video clips at the end of the movie should be trimmed back as well, even if you have muted them.

  • When I drag the imported video files to the time-line it only recognizes audio - would anyone know why?

    This happened 2 days ago. Before everything was working normal. Since yesterday each time I import a video and drag it to the time line, it only allows me the drag the audio portion of the file. Even those files which I uploaded several days earlier and
    worked perfectly fine - now even those files are only showing audio when dragged to the timeline. I hope I didn't make my question too confusing.

  • File error: The specified file i locked. when i am trying to render a clip on the time lin e

    WHen i want to render a clip on the timeline it tells me this message"file error: The specified file i locked."drive and file and they are not locked.
    What setting do i check for this
    because up till now the program was rendering all clips on the time lne
    I have checked the the drives and files and they are unlocked.
    please advise
    i have to render the clip from the timeline as n export then bring it back in
    annoying !

    Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

  • In elements 10 my video tracks on the time line appear blank

    trying to sync the audio and video but the tracks do not show anything. i;'ve had this problem before months ago and i started a new session and the problem was resolved. not this time. i started a whole new session and it did the same thing. i can't see the video tracks in time line...i've messed with the stuff to the left and nothing works. where it says "shows how video will be displayed".... doesn't work. how do i get my tracks back visually?

    Please remind me, in your present project, are you ripping VOBs from a DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc? If so, how are you doing that? If not, what are the properties of the source media that you are importing into this project?
    And, could you also verify the situation so that I am not taking anything for granted....
    In spite of the fact that you cannot see your video at the Timeline level, can you still see it in the Edit Mode monitor when you move the mouse cursor from left to right across the Timeline?
    If this issue is just confined to the Timeline displays, could you post a screenshot of what you are looking at when this situation exists?
    At any time have you tried deleting the Premiere Elements 10 settings file? I had a problem with Premiere Elements 12 yesterday. When I went to preview a disc menu in the Preview of the disc menu area, there was no main menu page displayed in the project. I tried in a new project and got the same. Deleting the Premiere Elements 12 settings file resolved the issue. The settings file deletion continues to be one of the best tools for getting at issues that defy resolution by other means.

  • PP crashes immediately when trying to move a clip to the time line

    I am a fairly new user, so this problem may be mine! I can import a clip to PP but the program crashes as soon as I try to move it to the timeline. This happens randomly. The movie I was working on and importing to last week is now causing crashes and is lost. Tidying up stray files has not helped.

  • I need to show how colour separations work by gradually combining four single-coloured clips in the time line?

    Hi, I need to demonstrate how colour separations work in the printing process, by animating the additions of each single colour plate to the overall picture. I have four jpegs, one of each colour, plus black, and I want to animate each one on the timeline to simulate the addition of each colour to the printed page. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Phil

    Video and print do not work in the same way. Video uses additive color, print uses a subtractive method.
    You will have to fake it. Choosing a simple dissolve and combine method, you would also need the interim stages, say a Cyan + Yellow plate and a Cyan + Yellow + Magenta plate, eventually dissolving into the full color version.
    Another way: Have each of the 4 plates appear one after the other on a quad split screen. Allowing time for an explanatory narrative, simultaneously have the 4 plates grow to full screen and move into position. At this point, you can quickly fade to a full color plate.

  • No audio in source monitor but it works on the time line

    Hi
    I just started to use a Canon XF300 and I have noticed that when I double click on a file and it opens in the source monitor the video plays but I get no audio. If I drop that same clip onto the time line I get video and audio.
    Is there a setting I am missing?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi
    Yes both Channel 1 and 2.
    Also I just came across another funny thing. After opening the first clip in the source monitor I can not open any other clips unless I open them from the time line. Double click a clip in the time line so it opens in the source monitor and then THE SOUND WORKS!  Weird.

  • Re-importing synched audio to video clips in the timeline

    Hello, i have edited together a project with a whole bunch of clips and i unlinked the audio and deleted it to replace it with music but now my client wants the original audio back.
    Is there any way of automatically reconnecting the audio to the selected video files in the time line?

    Welcome to the forum robz85!
    Fastest way to do this:
    1. put the playhead over any video clip you need to add the audio to in the timeline. Doesn't matter where within the clip you set the playhead... just don't move it after step 2 nor move it in the Viewer after step 2)
    2. With the Canvas active, type f.
    3. connect the audio to the tracks you want to add it to in the timeline window on the left (connect the track buttons) then type F11 to perform a replace edit.
    4. If you have filters on those clips, copy the video only clip in the timeline first (cmd+c)... then after you perform the edit, right click on the new clip that includes the audio, and select "paste attributes" from the contextual menu that will show up... add the filter(s) back... or motion attributes if you've changed those).
