Timeline ripple question

Is there a way to apply a constant speed change to a clip and not have that clips duration update to the new length, rippling everything down the timeline?
There are times when I need to insert a clip into a pre-produced doughnut with set clip lengths. The footage I'm inserting needs to run at 50% - 70% speed starting at my IN point. The workaround at this point is to lock all the tracks and do the speed change on another unlocked track, and then unlock everything and drag the effected clip into the space.
Does my question make sense? Is there a way to do what I'm wanting to do?
Thanks
Van

If you are happy using 50% or don't want to do any extra math, figure out the duration of the space between the two clips it will be between. Let's say your gap has a duration of 1 sec. Load up the clip you want to change the speed on into the viewer. Set your inpoint, and set your duration to 15 frames. Now change the speed in the viewer (cmd j) to 50%. Your clip is now 1 sec long at 50%, a perfect fit for that gap you have. Easy for speeds of 50%, anything else you actually have to think about the math.

Premiere Pro 5.5 timeline timecode question

Does Premiere Pro 5.5 output TC on HD-SDI when using Kona 3. There have been reports by users that when recording the HD-SDI output (like to a Ki Pro Mini) that they are not seeing any Timeline Timcode coming out the spigot. Any Adobe folks or others know if this is true of false?

As a preemptory response...yes I am in touch with AJA engineers as well to try and get an answer to this question

Several timeline technique questions

1) When you drag the end of a clip longer or shorter in the timeline, a little window pops up showing how many frames you're moving.
Question: Is it possible to see the new lengh as you drag also or in addition?
2) When you move a clip in the timeline up or down to a new track, is there a key stroke to lock it so it does not move left or right?
3) How do I keep a clip on a lower layer from dissolving with the dissolve effect on the layer above it?
4) My sequences are all set to 720x480 wide, but my title window is 720x480 standard. Can I get the title window 'wide'?
5) When I put a video clip on a different layer, the audio track stays on its same layer. How can I get it to move to another layer automatically with the video clip move?
Thanks for your help.
iMac, Premiere Pro 5.5

For # 5, why do you want the Audio to move? Jim has given you a method to do it, but what is the exact purpose of chaning the Audio Track?
Remember, you can change the name of any Track, so if you do not want to see Audio 1, you can change that to "AVI Audio," or anything that you want.
Projecting a bit, in case this question comes up, the Audio Clip's channel-count must match the channel-count of the Audio Track. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Good luck,

Ripple question

I just rippled a clip because I didn't leave enough room for cross fades. I did the cross fade with the video, but when I try to do a AUDIO cross fade it won't let me select anything

Sorry, the question is why can't i get the cross audio fade to work. As you can see the video fade works. I think I did the ripple properly.
1) selected frame hit "rr"
2) Hit "U" to select the left frame
3) -15
4) hit "U" to go to the right frame
5: +15
6) hit U to select both parts of frame and did my video cross fade
7) got stuck on the audio

Premiere Elements 12 - Timeline Rendering Question.

Hello All.
When I add my video files to my timeline, press the "Render" button for a smoother timeline, after the process has finished, the quality looks terrible. Am I doing something wrong?

More later in the morning. But just leaving you with some things to check out.
In Premiere Elements 12, the render indicator system is
You are getting the best possible preview, no rendering possible since you already have best preview
no colored line over Timeline content
green line over Timeline content
You are not getting best possible preview, rendering possible
orange line over the Timeline content
Above the Timeline is the Work Area Bar with two gray tabs. Those tabs need to span the whole content to be rendered. Are your gray tabs of the Work Area Bar doing that? If not, move them to span the content to be rendered. Keyboard shortcuts are
Alt + [ for the left gray tab at the start of the content
Alt+] for the right gray tab at the end of the content
If none of the above factors into your present situation, you might want to post a screenshot of your Timeline setup in the Expert workspace of your Premiere Elements 12.
Thanks.

Timeline Compression Question

Hello,
I am working with footage in a timeline that is HD (1440x1080)(16:9), compressor video setting is HDV 1080i60.
To get a higher level of quality, should I change the compressor setting to ProRes LT within the timeline before I export?
Text, photos, and graphics are part of the project and any help would be great.
Thanks

ProRes LT would make the graphics look better, but it won't improve the quality of the HDV footage. Video quality can't really be improved over the original.

CS5 Timeline Panel Question.

Seems I always have a few stray "timeline no sequence tabs" in my timeline panel whenever I start a new project. Anybody know the reason for that? Only a minor annoyance to x them out. But what might I be doing to cause this?
TIA points will awarded.

Right. I think this only affects new projects; if you were to open a project that only has one sequence after your project with six sequences, you'd get only one sequence tab. However, creating a new project would create a timeline panel with as many sequence tabs as were open in the previous project.
Note that this also affects the Project Panel: if you open bins into tabs, you'll get much the same behavior. Drove me crazy the first time I saw it--my new project opened up with something like 8 Project Panel tabs!
Thanks for the points. I think I'll redeem them for a milkshake.

Timeline Slideshow question

I'm trying to create a slideshow in Dreamweaver MX similar to
the same style as this webpage has:
http://www.milliestuxandbridal.com/
The problem I have is that when I do create it according to this
tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/interactivity/slideshow/slideshow02.html
I get this message when I preview it in a browser (IE7): To protect
your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this page from
running scripts or ActiveX controls. I can allow the script to run
but I must be doing something wrong because I don't get this
message when I view MilliesTuxandBridal. Can anyone figure out how
they made the slideshow in Millie's website so that a security
message doesn't show? Should I make the slideshow in Flash instead
of Dreamweaver? Or is there another program or tutorial I should
try? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help with
this matter. By the way, I would like to make this slideshow with
10 photos and to have the photos overlap each other slightly.
Thanks again.

I am still trying to figure out the Timeline in Dreamweaver
and I appreciate the help I have received. I was actually able to
make it work with this tutorial
http://www.flawebdeb.com/septdebtip.htm
. Although it did work well after uploading my page to my webhost,
I noticed that the slideshow, which worked well in IE7 did not
rotate through the slideshow in Firefox 1.5.0.5. (I have tried it
on several computers/browsers). One other thing I am after is a way
to make the Timeline rotate images with a slight overlap of images
instead of just swapping the images. I did try using different
layers on different channels but was unsuccessful. I did notice one
other mistake I have been making and not sure which way is correct.
When I use a layer with a image in the Timeline, do I use the layer
or the image? (I did see one of each in one of my test
timelines)

2 questions - lost timeline + streamclip question

First off, everything was fine. New to this, but messing around with FCP 4.5. Suddenly, no matter how many times I close and re-open, I can't see the canvas or timeline. Double-clicked the sequence. Nothing. (What's the difference between a clip and a sequence, by the way?) I go to "Window" and "canvas" and "timeline" are grayed out. Crazy....
Also, I've got mpeg Streamclip Beta, but don't have the option to output to ProRes...?
Thanks for the help!

You need to spend a little time learning the application.
A sequence is what you edit in and appears in the timeline window. A clip when opened from the browser appears in the viewer. The sequence icon has two horizontal yellows bars on it. Do you have one of those in the browser? If you double click on one the timeline window will open.
Also, when double-clicking on an empty sequence, it says "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
This does not appear when you open a sequence, but when you open a clip in a codec you don't have access to, like ProRes, which is not available with the version you're using. ProRes comes with FCP6 or later. If you install that application the ProRes codec will be available in MPEG Streamclip.

Timeline troubles/question

Hi!
I have some questions..
(See image for more information...)
1.When the animation plays reverse, i want it to play faster..
Is there any way I can do this? By code maybe?
2.Also. When the animation played backwards, and then forewards again I want it to stop at 'mouseover'.
How can I do this?
If i put a trigger stop between them, it also stopt when it is playing backwards.
I really hope someone knows how to do this!
Thankyou,
Kind regards, Ellen

1. I have suggested a solution to this on your other post.
2. Add the stop() as a mouseEnter/mouseOver event on the symbol that is being animated that will stop the playhead at its current location, a mouseLeave play() will restart the animation but in the 'play' direction, You could then use a variable to determine which direction the playhead was moving and always send it in the same direction when mousing out, if you need/want it to do that. Hope this helps

Timeline Layout Question...

I see on the Apple Motion Mini Site that there is a screencap of the Motion 2 Layout.
It shows the audio editor sitting directly under the timeline.
How do you do this type of layout?
Thanks for taking the time.

From the top menu bar choose Window and from the drop-down menu check Audio editor.You can choose all else according to what you want to do.
Go through the manual about Layouts.

Timeline marker question

In PE8, It seems i no longer have the option to view a video and click timeline marker with one click.
The new operation seems to be very cumbersome ... Markers. dropdown, set timeline markers, dropdown, Timeline marker, dropdown, unnumbereds marker.
Is ther any way to view and click. This new system seems to have taken away syncing along the beat of the song (with so many clicks)

Thanks Steve - you've always been a GREAT help.
Did you ever come out with a book on later PE versions like you did on PE2?

Timeline Slider Question

Is there any settings I can change so that the timeline window/viewer follows the slider during playback instead of staying still?

No, unfortunately not. However, you can zoom out so that you can see a larger portion of the timeline during playback, or just scroll manually.

Timeline/work question for the pros

Hey folks,
Looking to assess how long a project would take. I'm a mediocre coder at best so I'm wondering for a skilled flash coder, how long would a menu take to build. All artwork would be provided for the project, but simply linking existing buttons to specific pages and having a launch button on each to fetch a url. What do you think something like this would take (ballpark wise)?

A basic menu with just buttons and links should not take more than an hour if all the artwork is provided as well as accurate requirements definition up front. Considering a usual lack of the well-defined requirements and back and forth I would go two hours for an estimate.
Any estimate needs to be predicated on your understanding of the scope and the client's understanding that a change in that scope means a change in the effort/time/cost. So if the client was answer back to say the number of buttons is quite large but they still won't say how many, I would just say that I charge by the hour.

Probably everyone can answer this question

Hello everybody out there,
As I can't find a clear answer in my FCP-manual, I'll ask my very simple question here...
What I want to do is select a segment (V, A1, A2)in my timeline, ripple delete it and then paste insert my selection into another part of the timeline. Pretty basic I should say.
As I like to do this as fast as possible and using only my keyboard, I tried it the way I used to do it on the AVID.
So, in this case:
*I make an IN-OUT selection with 'x'
*I ripple-delete with the delete button
*I set an IN-point somewhere else in the timeline, where I want my selection inserted and press 'arrow-V'.
And then some old selection appears, instead of the segment I had just ripple-deleted before!
So what am I doing wrong?
Or am I asking too much wanting to insert paste the same selection as I just ripple-deleted, without any mouse-movement?
And in case it's not possible... what will be the fastest way then?
Best regards,
Robbie V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands

For the record, the drag-then-Option method is just one keystroke. That's one long keystroke and one long mouse click.
The other method is three keystrokes and two mouse clicks. (And you have to make sure your AutoSelect buttons are in the correct state for the tracks you want to paste the clips to. If not, then there are more mouse clicks involved.)
Not that I'm counting, mind you.
