STP Freezes shortening a clip from the end.

When ever I go to trim the length of a clip from the right side STP hangs up and I get a spinning beach ball. I need to force quit to get back to the project. Once in a great while I can trim a clip depending on the complexity of the project.
I can see others have posted questions about freezing in the past and not one that I have read was resolved.

You can import the clips in the order you want them to play, which would be the quickest.
Or you can put them all in the timeline, then zoom out on the timeline (two finger squeeze).
That makes it easier to hold the clip, and drag it to the start.

How to "lock" down a few clips at the end of a timeline

I'm working on an edit and the last several clips have all been edited into place and timed perfectly. I'm working backwards from the end. How in the world can I keep those last several clips from moving? With the magnetic timeline every time I try to do anything they want to move. Even with the position arrow. I've put them in their own storyline but the still move. They are connected to the primary storyline as that's the main thing.
Seems weird there is no way to lock them in place. Maybe I am just missing something.

everything you pretty much do in FCPX wants to happen to the primary storyline
This is just wrong.
Otherwise I have to work to make things not happen in the primary storyline.
Like every other editing application. Every one has a default video and audio track. It doesn't mean everything has to go on those tracks. It doesn't even mean most of your material has to go on those tracks. Yes, you have to do something to make edits to some other layer or storyline.
We're not going to agree on this. I'll tell you how I think you should use the application, but you can use it however you like.

HT204406 my itunes match has frozen 2 songs from the end of matching my music. what do i do to fix this?

I have subscribed to itunes match and it checked all of my songs but has frozed 2 somge from the end of step 2 and won't move on to the next step. I don't know how to resolve this as I have tried stopping and starting it but it seems to freeze in the same place every time.

*When I try to drag over the music, it won't let me. That's what I meant to say.

Why is Final Cut Express adding 5 minutes of black to the end of my .dv export? I've marked it out, there are no additional clips at the end, it's doing this consistantly.

I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0 and when I export to .dv it adds 5 minutes of black to the end of my export. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have it marked out and there are no additional clips at the end that it's trying to capture.

According to previous posts in this forum, Apple does not support FCE with Lion, no less Mountain Lion. Nonetheless some people report no problems using FCE with Lion, depending upon upgrade protocols from Leopard etc. You list FEC 4.0, but FCE has an update to 4.01 free download from software update.

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,
digi

Grep Styles/Nested Styles from the end of the paragraph

Hi -
It appears that grep styles, and nested styles only allow you to apply styles from the beginning of the paragraph until the match.
I'd like to be able to apply styles from the END of the paragraph going back.
This would allow me to apply a non-breaking character style to the end of a paragraph to control "runts". You could make the last two words of a paragraph non breaking, or set a 15 character threshold.
This wouldn't work for all cases, but I'm working with centered, non-justified text, so it should work fine. If the feature were there.
I'm sure there are other things one could do with it as well.
There's a good discussion, and a MANUAL work-around on

Audio, Premiere Elements 13 (Trial), Samsung Ultrabook NP730U3E with Windows 8.1 ! The problem: If I transfer a clip from the monitor window to the timeline the audio disapears

On the moment that I transfer a scene from the monitor window to the timeline, my audio disapears. In the monitor window the sound is playing well. How can I solve this problem ?

gertdd
Please explain.
You cannot move a clip from the Edit area monitor to the Timeline. When you write "monitor window", are you referring to the Preview Window that opens when you double click a file's thumbnail in Project Assets?
If that is the case, are you waiting for the audio imported to Project Assets to conform fully before you start to work with the import? See bottom right of Expert workspace and the appearance of a progress bar. See any conforming going on there?
Do you get sound for your clip if you drag it from Project Assets to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1 rather than if you drag a trim from the Preview Window to the Timeline (as it appears you are doing).
Please review and consider, and then let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your problem description.
The answers will be in the details.
We will be watching for those details to help us help you.
Thank you.

Truncate 4 characters from the end of a field

How would I go about trimming the last for characters in a field.

If you are truncating it using the Picture, it should always work. If you are doing it via the !format event, does your data file have a field with the same name as where you put the code?
I have to admit I dont have a need for truncation so Ive not done any testing besides Test Presentment. The SSN sample came from an actual production form. There isnt anything Im aware of that has to be added to jfpreamble we dont have any form (out of 100s) that has custom jfpreamble coding.
FYI: We almost exclusively use global field definitions in our data files. If you are using field field definitions that might make a difference. For example, this is a sample from the end of a data file:
>...
^global Authorized_Rep_Name
G KOCH
^global TimeRequested
11:54:21
^global DateRequested
12/05/2006
^global 12_Address_lines
MRS BARBARA PRODUCTION
MODIFIED 5606 MARK
ADDRESS LINE3
SEATTLE WA 98679-8816
^global CP_IA_Record_No
9
^global CP_Address_lines_REC
9
^global DAT_File_Name
PF_0020_20061205_115421
^global DoNotMail
^FORM _base_page_v1r3.mdf
^field MannerOfServiceImage
C:\JetForm\Forms\FirstClass.jpg
^FORM f-01-115-v1r4.mdf
^FORM f-01-115-v1r4-s.mdf
^FORM sep-pg9-v1r3-cso.mdf
^FORM f-01-115-v1r4-cso.mdf
If we used field definitions it would look more like:
>...
^form 1111111
^field AAAA
DATA-AAAA
^field BBBBB
DATA-BBBBB
^form 222222
^field CCCCC
DATA-CCCCC
^field BBBBB
DATA-BBBBB
In the first example the data is only defined once, followed by the forms it is to be applied to. In the second example if the data appears on two forms it has to be defined for each form.
I dont know if this would cause a difference in your truncation problem.

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place. Help

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?
Before you do anything else, trash the preferences with this free app:-

I want to remove clips from the event browser. How?

How can I remove clips from the event browser in iMovie 11 when I have finished using them - without deleting or rejecting them?

I'm not clear why do you want to remove them if its not to save space by deleting them?

Can't pull a clip onto the end of my timeline ... (1st time on iMovie) One of the clips has an orange highlight on it. Is this causing the problem?

Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

First try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
Next, if necessary, continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

OK to remove used clips from the Clips Viewer?

At the bottom of the iMovie 9 screen, there's an area that I think is called the Clips Viewer--the area that shows the imported clips that you can add to your project. After I have done so and I am sure that I don't want to add them anymore to my project, is it okay to remove the clips from the Clips Viewer? I have a lot of clips that I want to use in my project that all have very similar thumbnails and having them all in the Clips Viewer at once will create hopeless confusion.

Don't delete any clips from the event viewer that are used in your project until you have completed the project and shared it. Then if you are sure you do not ever want to re-edit that project or share it again or use those clips in another project then you can delete them. If you delete them while your project is active the clips will go off line and your project is unusable.
