Subclips show as masterclips

hey guys,
I have my subclips showing as master clips. I didn't think they should be...but is this because they are subclips from the masterclip? If so, how do I change this info in the browser

  • My sequence is no longer showing up in the time line!

    Hey,
    So I'm working on a DVD video for my nan's funeral and I opened the project and my edited sequence is no longer in the time line! I click on it but nothing shows up. It's as if I haven't done any editing in it yet. But I have and I have saved it. I wasn't too worried because I have time machine so I just went to restore an older version of my project. I did so but it also showed a blank sequence. I went back 2 more times to get even older versions with the same results. I know that my work can not be just gone! I mean I've been saving it and it's been backed up, is there something that I just have turned off by any chance? I'm pretty confused, the whole thing is just so random and unexpected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the identical issue. Open a project that was fine 12 hours earlier. Now I open the project and all my clips and subclips show up in the browser, but the timeline is empty. Click on sequence 1 - empty. I tried switching my scratch disk from the original external drive to another one that was a mirror copy of the first - changed the scratch disk location. Then had the issue with no sequence data in the timeline. Reverted to original external drive and scratch disk location. Same problem - no sequence data. I can open other previous projects and they're fine. I don't have multiple sequences in my projects - I just build in the timeline, if that has anything to do with the problem. This is very strange. Appreciate any help anyone has.

  • Subclips have different length in Canvas than in Quicktime Export

    My subclips show perferctly fine and correct in the canvas, but if I export them to Quicktime (whatever format) the in and out points are not as specified and scenes are shown that shouldn't be part of the video.
    What can be the reason?
    Is this a bug? Do I miss something to configure?
    Help welcome.

    After all other codecs show only a different delay, which you don't notice on short pieces. The in and out points are still not handled correct, even with Apple ProRes (HQ) Codec.
    I noticed the wrong in/out export again with a 7 minute source (nearly 6 GB - recoded with Compressor, original file created by recording World of Warcraft scenes), where I wanted to cut a little sequence of 16 seconds (at minute 4:16). Set in and out points in viewer and created subclip.
    Subclip starts about 3 seconds later than defined if exporting or showing in browser - in viewer it shows correct.
    I had to set the in and out points incorrect starting 3 seconds earlier to get the scene I wanted.
    Strange thing - until now Final Cut causes me more problems than solving ...

  • Match Frame Bug?

    OK, this should be so simple. I make a subclip. Then, for whatever reason, I decide I want to look at the master clip, but the subclip has a new name and I don't remember what the master clip is called. I know I can ctrl click on the clip and choose +Show in Finder+ to find out the name of the master clip, but for the life of me, I can't get View>Match Frame>Show Master Clip to point me to the master clip. I just get a system beep. Is this a bug or is there something to this I don't get?
    Martin

    load the clip into the preview window and click "Remove subclip limits" It will make the subclip a duplicated masterclip with the subclip in and out as the in and out from the masterclip.

  • Reconnecting Issues with Batch List

    Hello,
    I am working with a client who created a ton of sub-clips and sent me a batch list of them. He is using FCP 7.0.3 and I am using 6.0.6. When imported, all of the subclips show up with the same name in the browser window (not sure if this is standard as I haven't used batch lists before).
    I am having two issues:
    - Since there are a ton of subclips, I am obviously hoping to reconnect all of them at once. However, when I go to reconnect, even though I highlight all the clips in the browser window and have checked off the "reconnect all files in similar path" box- it will only reconnect one sublicip at a time.
    - For some reason when the sublips do reconnect (one at a time) they are converted to 4:3 from anamorphic- so I have to go into Item Properties and manually check off the anamorphic box to make them normal.
    Obviously I can continue with the project, but it will take me a long time to reconnect each sublicip individually and then re-anamorphic (sorry for the made up word) each one manually. It's going to take a long time.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Michael,
    Thanks again. I understand now what you are saying. When I reconnect, the dialogue box lists the files as coming from an "Unspecified Path." However, It's finding the files just fine- and it says it can reconnect the clips. However, when it does, it only reconnects one subclip at a time, even though I have highlighted them all. That's the issue. Since all the sublicips I am trying to reconnect have the same name in the browser (they are all named the same as the original clip), FCP will only connect one at a time (apparently it seems to think that the files are all one because they have the same names).
    Same thing with selecting multiple clips and then going to Item Properties and clicking on anamorphic- FCP thinks all the clips are really one clip, so it only reconnects one at a time.
    Hopefully I am being clear with the problem.
    Thanks!

  • My captured video is all mixed up in the time line after capture

    hi after i capture my video it gets all mixed up in the time line nothing is in the right order and it is all cut up. I don't know what happened I have successfully exported a video to idvd before and published it but when i tried to again this happened

  • Daily Help A Newbie Thread: Full MiniDV tape to FCP & add Transitions

    Hello,
    Yes, it's another one of those questions, but honestly, I've RTFM, and searched the discussions here. Nothing works as it's supposed to. (Must be me, right?) Well, I'm turning to the pros.
    Goal: Take a full hour's worth of my newborn girl that's on MiniDV from a Canon ZR85 and get it into FCP, add some transitions, and then export to send to the Grandma's.
    Problem: I can't seem to add transitions at all. The cursor changes to an arrow with a little 'x' in the lower right corner.
    Problem Notes:
    --Ok, so I can sorta add transitions, but not with two clips or subclips snapped to each other in the same video layer. It will allow say, a default cross fade to the end of one clip, while clip 2 is in another layer (V2). So the visual response is the same, but it should work with clips in the same layer.
    --I can put playhead snapped to the joint between two unedited clips, and right click to add 'transition cross dissolve', but the transition ends up only being 1 frame in duration. And double-clicking on it to bring it into the viewer doesn't allow me to edit the duration.
    --I can however, drop in a Bars and Tone generated object, and say a caustics object. Then I can add and edit the transition to my heart's content.
    Method:
    1. tape in, cam to play, cables set up
    2. FCP set to Format: all formats / rate: all rates / Use: DV-NTSC
    3. open capture dialog and (for simplicity's sake) use Capture Now
    4. a 13+ GB .mov file is made on the scratch disk, an external FW drive with plenty of space
    5. I then use the Mark > Detect DV start/stop to get the markers in clip
    6. select all the markers, and use Make Subclip
    7. All subclips show up as "segment of videoclip I just imported n" with the little clip icon with jagged edges.
    8. Add a couple (of 41) subclips to the timeline. So far so good. They play and sound as expected.
    9. But then I go for a simple transition, cross dissolve and try to drag it into the time line. All I get is the the arrow with the little x.
    If I...
    z. right click to add transition, it says "insufficient content for edit"
    y. .....
    ****, I think I just answered my own question. Yeah...huh...RTFM...Ok, here goes, see if this is what you would tell me...
    1. drop in say two subclips.
    2. (they are now end to start, if you will
    3. i have to drag the second clip (the one on the right) to the LEFT such that there is enough "overlap" so the transition covers enough on both clips for the desired duration....
    That is clip 1 is 30 seconds. Clip 2 is 60 seconds. End to End won't work. But if I move clip 2 (with the select tool) back say 5 seconds. Then I can add a 10 second transition. (overkill yes, but it's an example.)
    Sorry for rambling. Thanks for helping or offering um, constructive advice.
    Thanks,
    .curt
    a) Even when I Log and Capture, it always gives me the pre-post roll error message. I have turned that preference to zero, but have the same results. But OK, I can deal with that, so I did the Capture Now and manually started the vidcam.
    b)

    You need "handles" for transitions.
    The length of the transition determines the length of the handle
    The default is one second so you need 15 extra frames on clip "A" and 15 extra frames on clip "B"
    So you need to do what you've already learned and trim back your clips to make room for your transisitons.
    This is the quick expanation, check the manual or do a search on this forum for "handles" and you can get a more in-depth version.

  • Show timecode for subclips

    Hello everyone. I think there must be a simple answer to my problem; I just can't figure it out.
    I get dailies digitized one tape at a time, so I need to subclip each take before I start editing.
    The problem is, every subclip starts with timecode 00:00:00;00. How can I see the original timecode for each subclip?

    I'm creating subclips the usual way - by clicking "Make Subclip" in the Modify menu.
    I just noticed something. If I open the original file in Quicktime, it has a video (DV) and audio track but no timecode track. I created this file in Avid MC by doing a QuickTime export (because it was MXF files before). I don't know how to add a timecode track in Avid export, but would that be the solution?

  • Why are subclips going into wrong bin?

    When I open a clip from a bin and create a subclip, I expect that subclip will land back in the bin the master clip came from, but this is not always happening. Sometimes the subclip appears in the correct folder, and sometimes it shows up in the higher level master folder, or in some other folder, almost random.  Is there some protocol to follow to make sure the subclip always appears in the folder of its master clip?

    "When multiple instances of the project panel are open" ...
    Perhaps I don't understand this. I've never (to my knowledge) opened a second instance of the project panel ... and yet several times the subclips "disappeared" ... only to find that they'd somehow landed in a parent folder. This is with the project panel in the 'standard' lowere left quadrant, only one folder open and showing.
    It's puzzled me when it happens ... double-click on a file, it goes to the source monitor; set i-o, right-click "create subclip" ... sometime it goes in the folder it came out of, occasionally to the "upper" folder.

  • To subclip or not to subclip, that is the question?

    Hello All,
    As I continue to gain experience with FCP, one of the consistent challenges I run into is having created subclip of my master footage that is pretty close to what I want in my final production. The net result of that is when I go to add transitions, or work with the View Edit feature, I don't have much in the way of extra footage with which to work.
    I believe one choice I have is to create my productions with cuts taken from the master, and then added to the timeline. The result will be (in the browser) many copies of the master, but simply containing different in and out points.
    My question is whether this is a problem. I suppose I've avoided this approach as it seemed like it was less precise, and took up more disc space (I know, probably not a real issue, but coming from a time when hard drives were 20 MB, I'm stuck with an old mindset).
    Your thoughts would be appreciated.
    DG

    I don't see any rational argument against using Subclips.
    *1) On Roll Edits and Transitions*
    If you make the In an Out points for your subclips at the same place you would put the In and Out points when capturing from tape, the created clips will be the exact same length and the ONLY way you will have the option to extend the edits past where the take ends is if you had Subclipped and then Remove Subclip Limits.
    *2) On Organization*
    FCP allows you to organize and name Subclips in the exact same manner as Master Clips; if the organization of Subclips is jumbled and confusing it is because you are not using the same method of organization for the Subclips as you would for Master Clips... which there is no logical reason not to. Treat them as the same thing.
    *3) Why I Subclip*
    I'm working on a short narrative film right now with an assistant editor whom I have never worked with. I had captured, logged, and organized the Master Tapes before handing the project off to my assistant. When I got the project back from him I quickly noticed he did a half-assed job and I had to go through the daily continuity log with the Master Tapes making sure I subclipped the takes he had missed. This job was much easier to do from FCP and the captured Master Tapes rather than having to rent a deck and go though the actual Tapes.
    *4) How I Subclip*
    The best way I have found to make Subclips is not the In and Out method but rather using Markers. Simply open a Master Tape Clip and put a Marker at the beginning of every take. Next to the Master Tape Clips in the Browser will be a grey arrow that when expanded shows all the Markers made in that Clip. Select the Markers in the Browser and go to Modify > Make Subclip (⌘U) and BAM you're whole tape is Subclipped. The Markers will stay on the Master Tape Clips after you make the Subclips so if you ever need to resubclip a take, change the length of a subclip, or anything of the sort it is extremely easy.
    That's why I would suggest using Subclips rather than not. The only reason I could see not wanting to Subclip is if you have limited Hard Drive space and you only plan on capturing printed takes.

  • In and Out points not showing in source monitor

    I've noticed this in the past couple of days: setting in and out points in the source monitor, the indicators don't show in the time ruler.  In other words, even though I set the in and out points, it looks like nothing has been selected. 
    If I put the clip into the timeline, the in and out points I chose are respected, but they just don't seem to register in the source monitor, so I can't have confidence in what I have selected.
    If I open another clip in the source monitor, then go back to the one I was working on, magically the in and out points are there again.  Strange...
    At the same time, if I apply audio gain to a clip in the source monitor, it sometimes doesn't "take".  It shows that gain has been added, but there is no change in the sound volume when I play it back in the source monitor.  Again, if I put the clip in the timeline, the volume is as it should be and the waveform reflects this.
    So, is there some underlying bug affecting how clips are dealt with in the source monitor?
    I'm on the latest version of Premiere CC 7.2.1 on Windows 8

    Thanks for these suggestions.  I'll try and answer each one:
    Is the Source Monitor zoomed out to show the whole clip? If not, please zoom out to see if the In/Out points are getting painted in the wrong place initially.
    Yes, it is zoomed out.
    Do the clips have non-zero start timecode? If so, please try with a clip with zero-based timecode. (If you don't have one handy, you can create one fairly easily by exporting a sequence with start TC of 0;00)
    The problem is intermittent and in this project all the clips are DSLR .mov files.  The problem occurs with some of these and not others.
    Have you done anything like setting a custom start timecode or interpreting footage to change the frame rate?
    I haven't set a custom timecode.  It's true that there is a mix of 24p and 25p clips in the project, but surely this only presents issues in the timeline rather than the source monitor?  In any case, I haven't gone to interpret footage on these clips.
    Is this happening with all types of project items, including simple clips on disc, or only with certain items like merged clips, multicam sequences, subclips...?
    In this project, the only type of clip I'm using is simple clips.  There are nested sequences; I'm not sure, but possibly the problem has also presented itself when these are brought into the source monitor - but not exclusively with those.
    I hope this helps.  This is the first project I have worked on since the latest upgrade and I didn't come across this problem before.  As I say, it is intermittent, and it's hardly crippling - just annoying when it happens!
    Thanks

  • Duplicate Detection Shows Clips That Are Not Dupes !

    Let me admit at the outset that this is not a serious problem, just a curiosity.
    I experimented with the "Show Duplicate Frames" command on a project and had loads of coloured lines appear denoting duplicates.
    The only trouble is that there is not a single duplicate frame used in that project !
    I then created another "test" project by importing a clip and breaking it down into subclips. I dragged them all from the browser to the timeline and then dragged another one that was obviously a duplicate.
    It worked perfectly and the 2 dupes showed up in red.
    So why has the original project got numerous false dupes? Incidentally this "problem" project was captured as 3 clips (from the same tape) which were then split into subclips.
    Any ideas what is going on?

    For detecting dupes, FCP looks at 2 things: the time code and reel number. If you have not changed the reel number from the default 001, and all your tapes start at 00:00:00:00, then you will have several clips with identical time code and reel numbers, which FCP will then assume are the same clips, just digitised at a different time. Not changing the reel number is a _bad habit_ because, if you ever lose your media and have to redigitise, you will be up the proverbial creek, not knowing what reel to put in when the system asks you for "Reel 001". Label your tapes and log your reel numbers!!!

  • Creating or editing subclips

    Hi all,
    When I want to edit the audio of a subclip created in FCP, the entire clip opens in Soundtrack, not just the portion of it that I've made into a subclip. Even if I mark the In and Out in FCP, it opens without showing this segment, so I can't see where the specific portion is.
    I'm new to using Soundtrack as my editing tool, and my requirements of it are pretty basic, just clean up and cut up audio clips.
    Is it possible to:
    – create an audio subclip within Soundtrack? Hopefully something similar to FCP such as marking the In and Out > CMD + U.
    or
    – edit the audio of a FCP subclip without saving the clip first as a separate file? (e.g select subclip in FCP > right click > open in editor, perform the edit then see the changes immediately when I roundtrip to FCP)
    Thank you,
    Andrew

    Also, when you "sub-clip" a file, all FCP does is add some pointers to that segment of the clip. It does not create a unique new file. This is why when you send the "sub-clip" to STP, the whole file comes thorugh.
    Subclipping has some useful organizational functions but its limits with clip manipulation really soured the deal for me - I do a lot of retiming (slow mo/ accellerated playback) and sub-clips never really worked well in that world. I generally use Markers for organizing elements in longer clips.
    YMMV.

  • Markers not showing up after opening a saved project. Where did they go!?

    My first time using Prelude CS6 yesterday and had good success with ingesting, marking clips (into subclips, comments, etc.), saving the marked movies, and them sending the subclips to Premiere. They dumped into Premiere as expected.
    However, this morning I started a new project in Premiere and planned on using the same clips I marked up in Prelude. I wanted to do a little more marking so I opened the Prelude project I saved yesterday and the movie files are there but none of the subclips, comments, or other markers are showing up.
    The only thing I can think of is that I did not do a rough cut in Prelude, but I don't see why that would mean losing the markers from the source footage.
    Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks...

    Interesting...
    so this morning in preparing to upload a PL project for you, I
    decided to try a new test PL project with different footage. The one I
    played with this morning ("GrandCanyon_1.plproj" in the Folder
    "Prelude_test") seems to work fine! I threw in some markers, saved, closed
    PL, re-opened PL and the markers were there.
    So I did the same thing using some footage from the project that I posted
    about (ingested some footage, placed a sub clip marker, saved, closed,
    re-opened), and the markers were gone. Perhaps it has to do with the source
    footage?
    Anyhow, I'm uploading the files to my ftp if you want to check them out.
    They should  be uploaded by 10am central.
    Access info sent in separate email.
    Thanks!

  • Clip from Timeline not showing up in the Viewer

    why in Final Cut Pro when i have a clip in the time line and i want to add an effect or slow the clip down or speed it up, i double click on my clip in the timeline and it doesn't show up in the Viewer as only the clip. it is the entire footage that i have captured with my clip that want to edit.
    the only thing that i want to edit in between  the two arrows ______ ^^^^.
    but when i double click the clip when its in the TimeLine it just shows up in the viewer along with the entire imported clip along with it.

    That's what Final Cut does.  Anything outside those arrows are the handles for the clip.  It's not going to affect your master clip if you add your effects or filters.  (Unless you actually add them to it specifically).  If you were to subclip your footage it may act more like what you are expecting.
