Themes and reverting to original clips

Hello, I captured a 40 min video in one clip. While editing it down I create multiple clips and add them into the clip window. When I try to use the new themes and add these smaller clips---it reverts the clip back to the original full-length in the theme. Any ideas--other than starting and stopping during capture?

Absolutevideo,
The work around for the problem you describe it to select your edited clip then choose Share>QuickTIme>Full Quality DV and check the Share Selected Clip Only and click the Save button.
It's easiest if you just save to your desktop.
You can then drag the resulting file into the appropriate Theme drop zone.

Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names

Can you Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names in the event original media folder? in version 10.0.8 it automatically allocates date / time of the event. I need it to keep the original clip name i:e Clip0100 event folder original media Clip0100. I am aware you can change the clip name to original once in FCP X, But it's the event folder original media name which I want to remain as the original file name.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response.
I am aware you can do this change in the Info inspector so the original clip name from camera is used in the event library browser, but it does not change the clip name in the Final Cut Events Original Mieda file. This still remains as an event clip name "2013-05-23 17_08_13". I need the original clip name Clip0100 to remain as Clip0100 at import. FCP X doesn't seem to allow this happen any more in version 10.0.8.
Cheers

Cannot undo the trim selection and return to original clip

I have a clip 6 seconds long and dragged it into the project. I shortened it to 2 seconds some how. I tried to undo the trim selection. I even deleted the clip from the project and the event. I imported it again. Once I dragged it into the project again, the orange bar appeared and the clip shortened to 2 seconds. I want the full 6 secs. I double clicked and got into the trim clip screen and it will not let me use the handles to expand to the original clip. It can get shorter, not longer. Does this make sense.

There should be little arrows at the bottom right and bottom left of the clip. You can click on an arrow and a handle will pop out allowing you to add frames back to the clip.
You can also drag the whole six seconds back from the Event if that is quicker.

Saving And "Revert To Original".

I tend to use Photoshop mainly and these queries came up minutes ago with a neighbour:-
1. As iPhoto has no "Save As" function, the "Revert to Original" is very important. Regardless of the number of modifications made to a photo, can you always "Revert to Original" at any time in the future?
2. If that is the case, is it because your modifications do not actually alter the photo but add instructions as to how the computer will deal with it - the same idea as "non-destructive" video editing in Final Cut Express etc.?
3. Assuming my assumption in Q.2 was correct, when you "Revert to Original" are you merely deleting those additional instructions?
4. Once you have "Reverted to Original" is there any way you can recover your modifications - without having to re-edit everything all over again?
Ian.

I have been rooting around in the iPhoto folder and think I have answered my own questions!
It looks as though questions 2 and 3 were based on a wrong assumption. It now appears that when working on a picture all the changes are automatically saved, so you now have 2 copies - the modified one and the original which is moved into an "Original" folder.
When "Reverting to Original", the modified photo is deleted and the original is moved out of the "Original" folder to be with all the other "working" copies.
So it looks as though the answer to question 4 is "No", as the modified photo has been deleted.

HT4915 iTunes Match not updating Changes from Library and reverting to original data WHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!?

How do I keep iTunes Match from De-Organizing my music? I have spent hours organizing my music ratings, info, and deleting duplicates only to quit iTunes and find out that it reverts back to the original when it starts up and syncs with Match. It first de-organized hours worth of my time. Then I tried it again with iTunes match off only to find out that once you turn it on it de-organizes it again!! I have iTunes match turned off on all my devices. HELP!!

Oh let me elaborate some more as my frustration kept me from being clear. I updated my library (which is of significant size) with different ratings, genre and deletion of duplicate songs. While iTunes Match was on. I closed the ITunes program and, later once I re-opened it it asked if it connect to the internet like usual and right in front of my eyes reverted what I had updated back to before I updated it.
I never had this issue before except for when I first upgraded my macbook and copied the music files straight from the iTunes folder from a backup disk which did not save any of my ratings.
I then modified a couple of songs again, closed the I-Tunes application, opened it again, and saw it revert it again.
I turned iTunes Match off on all my devices and modified some songs, restarted iTunes and the changes stayed.
Something with the "Cloud" is not allowing these changes to remain permanent. Once a change is made to a file it is timestamped right? So why is the cloud and computer not following the latest timestamp?
I have finished organizing a sizable amount of music and am now worried about turning Match on again in fear that it will screw up my entire library.
I do this about once every 5 years or so where I spend a lot of time organizing my music, photos, etc... I just wish that for once I would have technology that wouldn't make it a nightmare.
Side note: I am bilingual and recently changed my computer language from English to Portuguese. So iTunes thinks its totally cool to change the genre of only the songs that are played to the portuguese spelling of the genre, which practically duplicates all my genre. Thats pretty annoying. Just leave the freaking music metadata language alone dudes if the artist speaks english the metadata should be in english in my opinion. Or at least have this auto language update as an option under preferences one could opt out of.

My Edits are there, but 'Revert to Original' has gone

Sorry, yet another iPhoto problem
I've noticed that though all my recent iPhoto edits are still there, the 'Revert to Original' has gone, for all of them. And the sliders - which should be in their post-edit positions - are all at zero or default.
I tested this by duplicating a recent edit, editing it dramatically (full saturation and colour temperature), came out of Edit, and went back in - no clickable Revert, and all sliders back in their default positions. I checked in the menu, and Revert to Original was greyed out.
I then went into Edit mode and flicked back through the Library. Occasionally the Revert to Original button was clickable, but as far as I can remember, those were all edits done ages ago in a previous version of iPhoto (and maybe not all of them?).
I thought iPhoto '11 kept track of editing adjustments, i.e. it was non-destructible editing? I appear to have a version that saves and preserves the edit(s), but overwrites the original.

Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-20276325-17180 0/open.PNG
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-20276325-17180 2/iPhotolibcontents.PNG
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Sorry, I got your email but your reply hasn't appeared in the Discussions (NOW it has! just when I post the reply..), so I've pasted it here (hope you didn't mind).
Anyway, since then, when everything else failed, I did already have a look inside the Package, and there I saw all my Original and Modified versions, so I knew they were still there. It's just a case of why iPhoto isn't offering to Revert to them.
Ok, I have some questions about your latest advice (which is going to be a BIG JOB!!).
When you say Metadata, do you mean I will lose all the camera's EXIF data (that normally shows if you click Info)?
What about Ratings? One of the big exercises I'm currently currently halfway through - 4,500 photos! - is rating them all - will I lose all the ratings?
When you say drag Originals / Masters to the new Library, what about Modified? Remember, I can see all my edits - they are in the Library, it's just that I can't Revert to Original in many cases. If I don't drag the Modifieds over, won't I lose all my edits? (I'd rather lose the Originals!)
When you say drag the subfolders, they are nested several deep, e.g. 2013 > 09 > 20 > 20130920-193215 > (a bunch of picture files). Do I have to recreate the directory structure, or could I just drag 2013 > 09 in one go, with everything inside it? And would I have to create 2013 folder first, then drag all of 09 into that?
Sorry to fire so many questions at you - it's a big undertaking. (I might find in the long run, that if ever I want an Original back, I should just Open the Package and retrieve it manually, so it duplicates rather than Reverts. It's not something I do except once in a blue moon, so I might decide to live with the current situation... )
Anyway, let me know what you think : it's either undertake this major task, or live without being able to Revert To Original from within iPhoto itself.

Timeline inside timeline: how to relink to original clips?

Hello. One of our editors has started huge project in FCP 7 from organizing every shoot day in separated timelines. Then he has started editing using these timelines like a source clips, so, finally we have "master edit" made using 10+ timelines, instead of source clips. Now I need to export an EDL file (master or source EDL - doesn't matter), and I can't: EDL file contain links to the timelines, used for edit, but not to the source files. Is there is a quick way how to relink enclosed timeline (cutted like normal source clip) in to the source clips, which were used in this enclosed timeline?
Thanks in advance,
Dmytro

Ahhh...thanks for the further explaination.
OK...did they build the main sequence out of the other timelines in that they appear as 10 solid, separate things? Or did he use them as source clips and cut several times? If the former, then it should be easier, just open the nests and copy and paste the original clips to replace the nests. If the latter...whoo-boy.
Talk to the client like this: Explain the issue with how he cut the sequence, how it is presenting a problem. Now, he can either pay your hourly rate to fix the issue so that you can online properly (which you'll be only so happy to do!), or you can offer that he fix it and save a few bucks. Up to them.
Or you can do it your way too...online each of the sequences separately...again, explaining that you'll be happy to do that, but also explain the time and storage involved in doing that.

Reverting to original & aliases.

If you only use aliases of photos in iPhoto 6, what happens if you edit a photo (either in iPhoto or an external editor) & decide you want to remove all the editing and revert to Original?

iGreg:
Any edit you perform on a photo is done on a copy that gets created and saved in the Modified folder. If you revert to original that modified file is deleted and the link is sent back to the original, just like the conventional type of iPhoto library. One downside (depending on your situation or point of view) with the alias method is that if a photo is deleted from the iPhoto library via iPhoto, the original file is not touched. One would have to delete that file via the Finder.

From AE composition to the original clips in a Premiere sequence?

I transformed some clips from a sequence in Premiere CC to an AE CC composition, then Premiere auto-saved and reset, so History is erased and no option for Undo, and now I can't go back to those original clips in the sequence. How can I do it????

There's no automatic way to do this. In the PP sequence, you will have to replace the linked comp with the original clips manually.
This is an excellent idea for a feature request, though. The ability to 'Undo' a linked comp (or an audio file rendered for Audition) and restore the original clips to the sequence should be available at all times, even after closing a project, without losing any other work.

How can I revert my audio clips that I have edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio?

I edited a project in FCP6 and sent numerous audio clips to Soundtrack Pro where I sampled and removed some AC and fridge compressor
hum from some interview footage. I'm sending the project out for professional sound mixing and they advised me to restore the original
audio to prevent the creation of artifacts when they process the sound in a different program.
Is there some way to "revert" all my clips that I edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio without going back to
my original interview footage and cutting in clip by clip? (Next time I'll save my original audio on a duplicate timeline -- live and learn!)
Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas!

What happens if duplicate the sequence, then choose one of them to use "match frame" to get back to the original clips?

Please Help

What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

How to delete overwrite clip and bring back original material

First project on any Premiere. Using Windows Premiere Pro CS6.
I have a long (three minute) clip on Video 1 timeline I'll call "Original" with Audio on Audio 1. I'm Overwriting short video clips and placing these short clips onto Video 1.
(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
Anyhow, I've got one of these short clips I want to delete from the Video 1 timeline and end up with the Original clip playing video and audio with no gaps in video or audio and no holes (causing a jump) in the Original clip.
When I choose the Ripple Delete, the short overwrite video clip deletes, and the gap goes away. But I'm left with a jump cut and a "seam" at the cut point!
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
This is easy and it's just late, right?

(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
If you'd rather put it on video track 2, go ahead, when you add a transition to- or from video2 (on the beginning or end of the desired clip on V2) it will transition to/from video 1.
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
exactly what Jon said.

Locking clips, adding slideshows from iphoto to imovie and reverting clips.

I have a few questions about imovie HD 6.
1. I am working on adding snips of video and pictures to my imovie project. However, I have several small clips that I want to add to a single audio clip. Is there a way to lock several video clips to my audio clip? It seems as though when I try to add another 'lock' the first one disappears. (I thought of maybe splitting the audio clip up. Is there an easier way that i'm not seeing?)
2. Is there a way to keep the quality from an iphoto slideshow after importing it into imovie. Is it even possible to import an iphoto slideshow into imovie?
3. I had a large 1 hour clip that I split up into 20 or 25 clips. I then added some effects to some of the clips. If I decide later that I do not want a particular effect and click the 'revert to original' button. Will it revert my entire 'library' of clips that I created back into the 1 hour clip I started with?
Thanks,
Elly

1. The function locks an audio clip to a video clip, not a video clip to an audio clip. So, after locking an audio clip to a video clip, if you then lock the audio clip to another video clip it will unlock the first one. That's why you are observing that the lock disappears. If you lock the audio clip to the first video clip in a series, that will keep the audio clip in place for the entire series when you slide the first clip along the time line, pushing the other video clips ahead of it. I would not split up the audio clip into several pieces, unless you intend to move or change the sequence of the individual video clips.
2. In iMovie playback, your iPhoto images are displayed in low resolution. Therefore, your iPhoto images always will look worse in iMovie playback. However, the display in your final product DVD will look much clearer than in iMovie playback. Yes, you can export an iPhoto slide show into iMovie. The best way that I have found is to use the iPhoto file menu to export the slideshow to your desk top as a full quality Quicktime Movie (File/Export/Full Quality) and then drag that Quicktime movie into your iMovie project as one long clip. You can also drag it directly into an iDVD project as a movie.
3. The "revert" function will operate only on the split clip that you select to revert. The remaining split off clips will remain un-reverted. For example, if you split a clip into clips A, B, and C, and then revert clip A back to the original, clip A will revert back to the entire original clip that you had split into A, B, and C. (In your case, that would be the entire one hour clip that you started with, with no effects in it.) So clip A will now also include B and C and all other clips that you may have split from the original clip. But B and C also will still remain untouched as additional separate clips. That leaves you with having to re-edit clip A to avoid having repetitious clips. Rather than using the "revert to original" function to clear an effect from a clip, instead use the "clear" function. Each time that you use the "clear" function on a clip, it will remove the last added effect from the selected clip but will not effect any of the other clips.
I hope that I have answered your questions. I suggest that you set up a small test iMovie project and experiment with the "revert" and "clear" functions.
