Stop Insertion Process

Whenever I drag a clip into my timeline, FCP has this irritating habit of splitting the track below it, and I cannot seem to stop it. All I want to do is drop in the shot into an empty spot--leaving the other tracks alone.
Is there a preference I can choose to stop this behavior? The only way around this is to drag the clip to a no-track zone and have it create a brand new track. Then I can move it accordingly, but I would rather not have to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Ditto what Jim said. But to answer your question... When you drag your clip down, you will see a little arrow either pointing down or to the right. If it pointing down then you will be doing an overwrite edit(what you want). If its pointing to the right you will be doing an insert edit which will push everything down.
I believe the closer you get to the bottom of the track you want to drop your clip on the arrow should point down. If you're in the top 1/4 of the track on the timeline you will get the insert arrow.
But it really is much more efficient to learn those shortcuts. I, O, F9, F10, and F11 can be huge timesavers when used properly.

  • How to stop a process from running and display a message

    I have a button that inserts data into a table based on bind variable selected on the page. I would like to add code to that button that will check to see if certain data already exists in the table, for that bind variable, and if that data already exists, stop the process and display a message that says "you have already inserted that information - bla bla bla". If not, continue inserting. What would be the best way to do this?
    Currently, the button is a plsql that inserts the data.
    Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated!

    Use a validation process for that. If the validation fails (data exists) the processes will not be run. If it doesn't then the processing will continue.

  • How to Stop The Process of oRecordSet.DoQuery()

    Hi all..
    I would like to ask 1 question.
    When program is executing the query passed as a parameter to oRecordSet.DoQuery(), is there any way we can stop the process by clicking on cancel button or other events?
    thx.

    Hi all..
    thx for your quick replies.
    Coz currently im doing SDK module which requires to process alot of data..and the process of inserting and updating to DB is kinda complicated. So basically, i use transaction to start and when i encounter error, i will rollback.
    Let's say if client run the program and suddenly realized that he/she gives wrong input and wants to cancel the whole process.What can i do? Client may say that button 'Cancel' is actually quite confusing because cancel is self-explanatory term to cancel process, but in SAP BO, it's actually to quit the form.
    I once thought of using thread, however, the event to trigger thread to stop will have to wait until the process done. so it's quite complicated

  • How to stop message processing based on validation?

    Hello experts,
    I have a requirement to stop message processing in the graphical mapping based on validation results. Here is the scenario - messages are translated using graphical mapping and sent to the target system. An RFC lookup will be done to ECC to determine if the data in the message is good. If the lookup returns a negative result, message processing should be stopped right there.
    I guess we can throw an exception from the mapping to force a failure and stop further processing, but that will cause the message to show up as failed on SXMB_MONI and cause alert emails to be sent out in PROD. Another option will be to supress creation of the root node itself, but I think the message will then fail in the subsequent "call adapter" step if the target schema has a min occurence of 1 for the root node (as in the case of IDocs).
    Is it possible to do it without using BPM?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Hi Michelle,
       If your requirement, to stop message processing without sending an alert?
    If yes, then you can have a alert rule, not to trigger alerts on a failure (And to raise an exception based on the result from RFC loookup).
    If your requirement is not to make the message fail, then you have to go for the ccBPM route.

  • Not able to stop OPMN processes using OPMNCTL on AS 10.1.2.0.2

    Looks like something may have been hung. Kill any process still running after a shutdown of opmn and then delete any left over pids files in the states directory. After that you can do a opmn startall.

  • HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

    HI ALL,
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
    cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
    THANKS
    HARITHA

    Hi,
    First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
    For Rescheduling
    RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
    click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
    For terminating active chain
    You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
    The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
    Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
    But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

  • HELP - Receiving error message "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"

    Have been using Adobe CreatePDF for many months successfully.
    Only recently over the past few days I have been experiencing errors for periods between 3-5 hours on every attempt to convert/combine files. The error reads: "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"
    It will stay like this and no amount of refreshing the cache, logging in and out will help. I'm running Firefox 34.0.5, windows 7 64bit. Only solution I've found is to wait until the next day and it seems to be working again. Only explanation i can think of is some unexplained maintenance adobe is running behind the scenes because I'm often working late between 12am - 4am.
    When this problem happens, no file types will convert/combine I've tested JPEG, PDF and word docs to PDF.
    I log in and out of my account, I've cleared my cache, I'm using Firefox 34.0.5 which has always worked in the past I just don't understand how this error is happening for such long periods. Starting to reconsider this product when there are free alternatives to simply combine my PDF docs! please help.
    Tom.

    I am still experiencing this problem. Customer service from Adobe has been abysmal!
    I called Adobe tech support at 2am Australian time ( >1 weeks ago) and got onto a help centre in India. I was walked through all the troubleshooting steps and they remotely accessed my PC and confirmed that It was not my PC that was at fault. They reset my password and dialed into my adobe account from their end to attempt a simple conversion and export to PDF which failed. I was told that this problem is not something they can fix, and is a result of something on the back end of their software.
    They advised me that the problem would be passed to a fixed within 12 hours and they would call and email me to confirm everything was OK. I gave my phone number with (area and country code) my email but have not had any communication back.
    I am extremely dissatisfied, and just want this software to function. Is that too much to ask?
    Note: This problem is happening always now, regardless of time being used.

  • How to stop a process chain tempararly

    Hi
    we have a process chain BI (7.0) which extracts data from R/3

    shutting down the R/3 server around this time for maintenance.
    I want stop the process cain for this day and start regular
    schedule the next day. Can some body please tell me the
    steps involved in this process. we are using BI7
    Thanks

    hi srigant...
         schedule your start process to run periodically (every day, hour, week...) at a particular time. If this schedule shall not be possible with the standard SAP scheduling, then schedule your start process to be fired "after event". Create an event in SM62. Then write an ABAP report raising this event with function module BP_ENVENT_RAISE. You can as well test this by raising your event manually in SM64.
    so you need to write ABAP program for triggering an event based on the time and check condition...
    hope it helps..
