Split clip no longer working

Hello Apple Community,
I would really appreciate the help. I am half way through editing a wedding video and my split clip function just stopped working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you for the help!

This is happening to me as well, Keith.
Airport Utility can not discover the Airport Express. I've reinstalled AU, as well as pulling the Airport Express from power and plugging it back in. I have not "reset" it yet, as I'm hoping there is a solution without having to lose all my Wifi settings.
Anyone got an answer?

Transitions between split clips don't work properly

If I split a clip in the project area, then put a transition between the two new clips, the transition doesn't work properly. It is most obvious with the Cross Dissolve, which doesn't work at all. Some of the others sort of look like they are working, but if you look closely, they are not working correctly- i.e. not in the same way that transitions between two clips dragged separately to the project area from the events area work.
Any one else notice this, or better yet, have a fix?

OK- I discovered a work-around.
In the project area if you select the split part following the transition, Cut it (Command x) then Paste it (Command v) back in the proper place, the transition works properly. Usually cutting and pasting the following half of a split clip fixes the transition, but sometimes I have to cut and paste both the part before the transition and the part after it to get things to work right.

Split clip won't work

I just migrated my imove 11 to my new Macbook pro. Now my split clip function doesn't work. either in the menu or with the keystroke. It does work on my old machine. I tried it with several projects. Can it be a keystorke conflict.

I don't think it could be a Keystroke conflict, but you can always try going to the System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts then click Restore Defaults. Or try to do a search through the system set of shortcuts and see if that key combo is being set in the list of System Level shortcuts.
Failing that try deleting the iMovie Preferences. Go the Desktop, go to the Go Menu > (hold down Option) and choose Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and drag that to the trash.
Restart iMovie and open a new project, drag a clip from an event into the New Project, and try to split the clip.

CC 2014 Imported MP4 clips no longer work

I had been working on a project in CC and it contained several MP4 clips. These work fine and have video and audio.
Yesterday, I updated CC Pro to CC Pro 2014.
I opened the project in 2014 and it told me I needed to convert the project file to the new format which I did.
Now, within 2014 all the MP4 clips show as "Media Offline".
If I try and import a new MP4 into the project within 2014, I get a message "File Import Failure - the file has no audio or video streams".
Fortunately, I still have the Pro CC version still installed and the MP4s are still fine in that version.
Within the Creative Cloud application, it lists my three installed apps (Premiere Pro CC, Premiere Pro CC (2014), Media Encoder CC (2014)) and says they are all up to date.
I am running Windows 8.1
I would be grateful for any suggestions?
Thanks
Glenn

I just exported a MP4 video from within CC 2014 and then imported it back into CC 2014 and it worked fine.
Looking at the codec information for what did and didn't work:
Clips that fail
Codec: mp4v
Name: MPEG-4 Video
Clips that work
Codec: avc1
Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

Effects with clips no longer work

After a few days with FCP X, all transitions and templates that use video clips as part of the effect, stopped working. Skimming the effects in the browser results in a blue screen.

I believe your suggestion is exactly right. I ended up tossing the whole Motion folder - which was probably empty except for those presets. I realized that some miscommunication between FCP X and Motion was involved, when the generators began reappearing in FCP X, once I opened a copy of one in Motion, but disappeared again, when I closed Motion.
I believe Apple was quite right to recommend putting the new versions on a separate startup volume, but getting rid of those presets was enough to get everything working again for me.
Thanks!

Button no longer works when inside a Movie Clip?

Again I turn to the almighty Adobe forums for help...
So basically, I've had this problem for over a day now, and I've posted on Experts-Exchange.com... to no avail really.
So here we go:
I have a button in a Flash project I've made. It's used to jump to another place on the root timeline, labelled "Why". It used to work perfectly.
I have now placed the button inside a movie clip (it has to be in an animated sequence), but now it no longer works. It appears to work fine, the rollover state works and all. But when clicked it does nothing.
The code I use to work the buttons goes on the main timeline, the code for this button is:
mc_anim_backdrops_menu.btn_subsection1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("Why");
_global.swfloaded = "";
Why does it no longer work? and what can I do to fix it?
The question is posted here over at Experts Exchange - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Photos_Graphics/Web_Graphics/Macromedia_Flash/Act ionScript/Q_24888850.html
what we've tried there is tracing the problem. The code seems to be pointing to the right place, but none of the actual function works.. as you'll be able to see if you open up the attached file (and change it's extension from .txt to .fla to get it working)
So would someone be able to open it up, have a look and tell me what's wrong? Because I'm stumped. And frustrated.

My guess is that you have a scope problem. By putting the button inside a movieclip you have made the buttons scope the same as that clip.
So if you add a trace inside the release event handler, what do you get?
trace("My current scope is: "+this);
I'm guessing it is "_level0.mc_anim_backdrops_menu," right?
So since you are using the global function of gotoAndPlay() it is looking for that label in the current timeline and not finding it.
You should probably use the MovieClip method and specifiy which timeline it should look in.
_root.gotoAndPlay("Why");
_level0.gotoAndPlay("Why")
_parent.gotoAndPlay("Why");
both would probably work. I would never use the first two, other than to make sure that there wasn't something else going on...

Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them.Iphoto9.4.3. This no longer works. I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop. I am not sure what has changed. Any ideas?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.

Splitting clips for copying

I'm trying to create a smaller project (about 3 minutes) from a larger clip (45 minutes). I use the "split clip at playhead" command at the beginning and end to trim a smaller clip, but find that "get info" for the new, supposedly smaller clip is still showing a size of 9 gigs (the full size of the original clip). When I try to copy and paste the "smaller" clip into the new project the program freezes, apparently because it's still registering the size of the longer clip, maybe not even recognizing the smaller clip. I've tried renaming the smaller clip, which hasn't worked. I may have to re-download from my camera only the footage that I want in the smaller project, but I'd like to avoid that.
Thanks!

You just have to live with that (or re-import). iMovie is a non-destructive editor, which means you should be able to go back to your full length clip at any time.

Emailing half of a split clip in iMovie

I recorded a video about 8 minutes long. I need to send the video as an attachment to my professor, but it says the file is too large; even being compressed. I learned how to split the clip in half, but now I can't figure out how to send each half separately. Anyone know how to do this?

Yes, I realize I can do that, but I really honestly want to use iMovie the way I think it was meant to be used, and if I'm passing off a partially resolved (transcoded) movie, and I want to take it through another editing revision, I have to re-garage band it too. Seems like a bad workflow.
Funny thing, I think there might be a bug. I just did the exact same thing (split a clip, and adjusted the audio on 1/2 of the clip) and it works fine in another iMovie08 project. The clip is clearly "split" (e.g. it has round corners on one side and flat corners on another), both parts of the split are next to each other. The only difference between the projects is that one is using background music, and the other is using pinned music (music starts 5 minutes into the project, so I use pinned music for background music throughout). I suspect there's an interaction there.
Again, thanks for the Garage Band workaround.

Inserted transition "grayed out" on split clip

Greetings,
Pretty new user so excuse the question...if repeated, tried to search but found nothing.
I am in advanced tools on my editor and split my video clip and inserted a transition. When I go into my precision editor, I see the transition inserted in the split but it is "grayed out" and not in white like it is usually. Am I missing a step here or doing something wrong? I can't make it work? I do have right next to it, a photo cut-away. (I wanted to split the video, insert the transition before the photo).
I can make the transition longer but again, it's grayed out and I can't see it on the final project.
Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Again, excuse the newbie here.
Yes, the split clip where I inserted the transition, is there and I can make the transition larger but how do you make the split larger? Is that what you are asking? I want the transition to come before the cut away photo (about 5.6 sec), then play back to the video. The video before is about 2 min in length before the split, or does the transition only work by previous by frame size?
Also, what file do I make a copy of where my movie is held (in preferences when you click on movie folder) to save a copy of this in another area on my HD so if I mess up one copy of the movie, I can go back to the original one and insert it back into the iMovie folder? Thanks.

"Unsplitting" clips (merging split clips).

To unsplit a clip that was accidentally split (either video or audio) you can simply stretch the tail end back to where it should be.
Procedure:
You have to use timeline view for this procedure.
In all cases select the appropriate audio or video clips by the usual method. The most common, simple case just involves selecting the clip, including the associated audio.
If it was accidental and is in two adjacent pieces:
*Select the portion of the clip to the right of the split.
b CLEAR
it, do
i not
delete it! You need to leave the original space.
*Then simply grab the right end of the remaining clip and drag it to fill the void. Done!
If it was intentional, or other cases where there is no space or not enough space following the clip:
*Use your favourite method of creating space.
](one of my favourite methods is to drag any handy clip that is longer than I need to where needed on the timeline and and then CLEAR it, leaving the space required. However the presence of multiple tracks can make life far more complicated than that.)
*Now that there is space (time) available, simply drag the right end of the previously split clip to wherever it should be.
*Finally use delete and close gap to get rid of any leftover space. Again, the presence of multiple tracks will complicate things a lot, so life is not always that simple.
In all cases be aware that any effects (with or without keyframing) will be based on the original segment of the clip. You may have to adjust keyframes accordingly.
The above applies equally to where the video and audio tracks are treated together and to situations where you have only selected the video OR audio (particularly applicable to accidentally having split a voice over or music over track).
Note: assumes clips are continuous. For instance if you used a "split" to bleep out a word, that is permanently two clips (use keyframing instead of split).

There's an button in the Clip Settings Tab of the HDV log and capture window to turn off the behavior of capturing separate clips at each start/stop location on the tape. Might try turning that off if you want longer clips.
I've an article about HDV editing in FCP coming in the next issue of the Creative COW magazine you can subscribe to for free here:http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newpage_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=http://www.creativecow.net/magazine/cowmagsubscribe.html Might be a good read for you if you continue to work in HDV...
When you say chunks are lost... how long are these gaps?

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has any one had a similar experience or have an answer?

After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has anyone had this issue or have an answer to it?

Are you sure it does not work at all? Could be a problem with a particular project, or clip.
Create a completely new project, add some clips to it, Cmd-C in one clip, and try Paste Atributes into another. Does it not work?
Also, by "does not work" do you mean it is greyed out, or the window appears but nothing happens when you click "Paste"?

Synchronize By Audio No Longer Works After 7.2 Update

After installing the Premiere Pro CC 7.2 update, the synchronize by audio no longer works correctly. When you highlight the clips and sync by audio it acts like it's doing something but then puts the clips nowhere near close being a match (usually one clip on one side of the timeline and the one on the other).
Is anyone else having this issue? I've run into it on two seperate computers bothe running Premiere Pro CC 7.2 on Windows 8.1 machines.
- Dennis

Bumping this. I'm a brand new CC subscriber and the sync function was a big part of why I moved to CC. 50% of the time it works, but the rest of the time, it pushes the video clip much farther down the timeline.
Update 1: To clarify, I am doing this from the sequence itself. So tracks A1/V1 are the original audio/video from camera, then A2 is my sound I want to sync.
It does not seem to have a problem syncing the same "problem" clips when I use the "Merge" by Audio from the Bin.
Update 2: I found that, if I unlink the original A1/V1 clip, then select all three (A1/V1/A2) and Synchronize, it works.
Obviously, this is an unacceptable workflow, but I hope that helps Adobe figure out what's going on here.
