Time stretching when copying and pasting between projects

I have had 18 separate instrument tracks of a live gig recorded in pro tools, so I simply imported the audio files into logic. I am also using the audio from a video camera to capture the reverb of the hall. The problem is that the audio files are 3 hours long and I would like to mix each song separately. To do this I would like to have a project for each song.
So I have cut the files up into their respective songs, the problem comes when I try and copy the tracks into a new project. The audio files get stretched making the tuning and tempo lower. I have tried copying and pasting as well as dragging the files over to the new project one at a time. I have also checked that the sample rates are the same, which they are.
Does anyone know why logic would be doing this? Are there any fixes you can recommend?
Thanks,
Dave

The sample rates of the files may be the same, while those of the projects may not.
Really, if it's slower and lower, by just about a semitone, then you're definitely playing a 48kHz file in a 44.1kHz project.

  • Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

    Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
    1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
    2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
    3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
    4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
    5. Copy the highlighted parts.
    6. Copy into Clipmate:
    6.1 Edit > Capture Special
    6.2 Check both items in the list
    6.3 OK
    7. Close PE without saving.
    8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
    9. Open destination project in PE.
    10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
    10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
    10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
    11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
    12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
    13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
    14. Tell PE where the files are.
    15. Save project.

    When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
    Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
    My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

  • Copy and paste between projects???

    Hello,
    iMovie '09 allows users to copy and paste clips between projects, but it do so with affecting quality. I mean is it the same as dragging clips from Events?
    NOTE: I won't be home to check this for a week and I'm trying to help a friend via e-mail. So any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    It does not affect quality. When you copy a clip from a project, you are copying a reference to certain frames in an event.

  • Copy and Paste between projects not keeping 16:9 ratio?

    I wanted to combine two iMovie project files, and I have tried to do an import (gives a -43 Quicktime error), so then I just tried the Copy/Paste feature. It works (ie: brings in my video) with the transitions/effects (ken burns) still applied, but it will only display as a 4:3 video.
    I have turned off the Automatic DV Pillarbox setting, but it still is doing it. Any ideas or am I just out of luck on this one?
    Eric
    PS: I know I can just export the files to a full DV image, but I was hoping to keep it intact so I can edit all the Ken Burns/transitions later.

    when I export to DV, it still doesn't look as good as when I go straight from iMovie6 to iDVD?
    Doesn't look as good where? Remember that iMovie display is only a preview. Also QT Player defaults to low-res display of DV clips.
    I am using Expert Settings
    iMovie's expert settings are buggy so use the Full Quality preset instead.

  • Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

    Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

  • Premiere Pro CC(2014) crashing when copying and pasting clips

    Has anyone found Premiere to hang when copy and pasting clips from one sequence to another, or even within the same sequence.
    Sometimes, it hangs then comes back to life.  Other time I just have to force quit.
    Thanks

    I don't recall reports of such a problem. We'll need more info to attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Start with the prompts on this page: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum? Especially the details on your computer.
    Also, please report the following:
    the types of content in your sequence, particularly in segments you're pasting. The source(s) of the content, the codec(s), the duration of copied segments?
    where the content is stored?
    whether either sequence was imported from a third-party program via XML or the like?
    the sequence settings of both sequences?
    what effects & transitions are in use, particularly in the segments you're pasting?
    what is resource usage before and during the copy/paste operation? Is a CPU getting pegged? Does memory usage spike precipitously?

  • CS 5.5 Mac - can't copy and paste between layers

    I'm running CS 5.5 on Mac (OS 10.7.4).  Try as I might, I can't copy and paste between layers.
    Create new document
    Create new layer (= 2)
    With first layer active, create text box and type randomly
    Swtich to pointer, select text box, Copy
    With second layer active, Paste
    Error message onscreen:
    <<Cannot paste or place onto locked or hidden layers.  Do you want to unlock and show all affected layers in order to paste?>>
    If click OK, the source layer (layer 1) becomes active again, and my text box gets pasted in.  The destination layer (layer 2) is untouched.
    Both layers are visible, neither of them are locked.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    It sounds like you need to trash your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
    And it shouldn't throw that message, but also check to be sure that Paste Remembers Layers isn't checked in the Layers panel flyout menu or you'll never get anything to paste from one layer to another.

  • Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

    I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
    This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
    I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
    System is the following:
    OSX 10.8.5
    Captivate 7.0.1
    Safari 6.0.5
    Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

    When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
    Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

  • Problem translating click/highlight boxes when copy and pasting slides from another project

    I'm baffled by this problem as it doesn't seem to make sense. I opened up a new project to record a simulation in and when I was done, I copy and pasted all the slides into the appropriate section in my "Master Project" if you will. After the paste, I noticed that all the clickboxes and highlight boxes I had taken the time to carefully resize were all out of wack in terms of position. Here's the kicker, I opened up a blank project and copy/pasted the same slides...this time the click and highlight boxes were in the correct position. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Neel

    Oh, 'in terms of position'... I see...
    Is the one project larger than the other? For example, the original perhaps at 800x600 and the new at 850x650?
    Positioning may then be off relatively....
    Pick a couple sample elements and note their x/y positions from the Properties panel in the first project (under 'Transform' in CP 5.5).
    After pasting into the new, note those same x/y positions.
    Is there a noticable factor?
    If this is the issue, be sure the sizes are the same, do the paste, then expand the project later (and maybe everything will retain its anchors?)
    I've not seen this occur in newer versions of CP.
    You could try checking the 'Constrain Proportions' option in the properties of the original, just in case that helps 'constrain the position' too...total guess...

  • Bad Clicking Sound when Copying and Pasting Tracks

    This is something that I can't figure out but use fairly frequently so I need a solution...
    Let's say I want to record a guitar part that is going to repeated throughout the whole song. I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks. It usually does it at the very beginning of the song too when that part comes in for the first time. Any suggestions?

    I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks.
    Have you tried to loop the regions instead of copying?
    And make sure to cut the regions at a place where there is a complete silence.

  • How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

    Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source.  I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    For now, you have a couple of options.
    1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
    2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.
    PureText Home Page (Note that I have no affiliation with them and nothing to gain if you choose to use the product. Just wanted to make you aware of it.)
