Timeline shifts when I when I slow or speed a clip

How do I stop the entire timeline from shifting when I change the speed (from the Modify menu)? If I make the clip slow motion, it enlarges and every track shifts to the right. I just want a particular clip to enlarge and everything else in the timeline to stay put. Help?

In FCP 7 you can turn off the timeline rippling effect, in earlier versions you can't.
What I used to do (prior to FCP 7) was to select and copy the clip to be adjusted, move to the end of the timeline, paste the clip at the end of the timeline, adjust the speed to where I am happy, then trim the speed adjusted clip so that it is shorter than the original (by dragging the right end of the speed adjusted clip to the left), copy that and paste it back over the original clip, adjusting its duration to fit the edit.
Hope this helps.

Timeline moving when I make a Speed change!! Can this change?!?

As I'm sure everyone is aware, when you change the Speed of a clip to either slow it down or speed it up the entire rest of the time changes with it. For example, if I speed up a clip I am editing at the beginning of my sequence every clip after it moves forward on the timeline to affect my speed change. This is VERY annoying because it means that when you go back to adjust the speed of a certain clip and you have cliped placed after it (that need to stay where they are) ALL OF THEM MOVE. Does anybody know of a setting or perference where this can be changed.....? Please, I'm desperate!

This is the way it works, and you need to adjust your workflow around it. If it didn't work this way, if you sped up the shot, you'd have a hole, and if you slowed it down, it'd overwrite your footage after it. It adjusts the section it is in because that is how it is designed. Don't like it, do things differently.
1) load the clip in the viewer and slow it there first, THEN cut it in the timeline.
2) drop the clip at the tail of the sequence, double click on it, then adjust it, then move it to where you want.
#1 is the way to go...and is the way FCP was designed to work. It is just something you have to get used to.

Playback is choppy / slow while speeding up clip anything above 200%

Coming from using Final Cut Pro X for a while, ive just bought myself a new laptop.
Basic Specs are:
Intel i7 3840QM 2.8ghz with 3.8ghz turbo
32GB Ram 1600mhz
1TB SATA 7200rpm in Raid 0
2GB GeForce GTX680M
Long story short, ive been a long time PC fan my whole life although using the mac only for video editing and being a basic macbook pro 13" with final cut pro x seems to outperform my newly acquired PC laptop.
I bought this laptop with the intentions to move my video editing platform back to a PC state and with the new Premiere cs6.
everything is smooth and all that but the same issue i remembered about premiere back when i wanted to try it out in cs3 time. the playback for previewing video is slow and choppy.
i have to always "render" my video just to preview it smoothly which is very time consuming. I always thought because back in the day my laptop wasnt as good as my new one now so that was the issue and moved over to my mac which was great for video editing only.
but that mac has basic specs compared to my new laptop and still the preview is flawless and smooth with LIVE video previewing. i mean i can do speed duration changes of 10% slow down all the way to 1000% speed ups and watch my video that same instant after.
but with premiere if i do anything speed changes of more then 200% original frame time it plays fine for 2 seconds at that accelerated speed then gets choppy and slow.
I even changed the playback resolution to 1/4 quality and i get the same issue.
i wouldnt mind waiting for the render so i can see that smooth playback and determine whether i like it or not except when rendering my clips from my gopro which is recording at 60fps 1080 it takes over 15 minutes.
This has always seemed to be an issue with premiere for me and am wondering if there is something i am missing here..
anyone point me to the right direction?
im not hating on PC or adobe at all, i love these two platforms in every other way but when it comes to this editing all i hear is good things about them but when i go to use them for myself its extremely frustrating.
P.S. yes i have set my GPU to use the mercury GPU accelerated mode which did minimal difference with playback smoothness.

I was having this issue last night while going through a bunch of 1080p 60fps footage I took yesterday with my Hero3 Black. I wasn't doing any speeding up or down, just previewing footage to cut sections out. It would play back fine for 6 seconds, then get choppy which got worse the longer I let it play. It played fine for 6 seconds after each pause and play.
I used Cineform as mentioned to convert the files which are now huge but play back without trouble. A 13 minute 2.8GB file became 25GB.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed so I don't have to go through all that.

IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped!

Premiere hesitates to play anything on my timeline, and when it finally does it's all choppy. How do I fix this?

I am used to using older versions of premiere, and I've never run into this problem. I worked on my video just yesterday and everything was working fine, and today it waits for like a minute or two before playing anything on my timeline. When it does play, the video is choppy, and the controls are unresponsive. I have checked to see if it's a renderer problem but i can only use the mercury playback software, and it has no problem playing any of the media when i view it in the source monitor. I've tried closing the program and opening it again, and I've tried turning my computer off and then back on as well and it still gives me the same problems. I have even go so far as to try one of the back up saved files and it still has the same issue. Can anyone help?

Hy ... Check your Videocodec for the Preview and Programmonitor... Sometimes it gets hard with h264 so i'm using ProRes 422 ... u find it in the settings of your sequenze, if not u should check how much cache you let premiere use!

You seem to be new to this software, so I highly recommend that you take some time to learn it using some great tutorials available online - it will pay off to invest the time, if you follow through, for example the great (and free) introductory tutorial at izzyvideo.com.
This is an amazing piece of software, and you'll have a lot to learn, but it's well worth it.

Timeline behavior when inserting a clip

I've got a timeline built, but it's sort of a draft. I'll replace some clips with others, delete some, insert some. Problem is, when I'm inserting a new clip, it would make my life so much easier if the rest of the clips in the timeline would move out of the way to allow the insert, but I can't seem to get it to behave this way.
In other words, let's say I've got a timeline 3 minutes long, full of 5-second clips. So, if I insert a 10-second clip at 2:30 in the timeline, I want every clip at 2:30 and beyond to move to the right 10 seconds to make room for my new clip.
Surely there is a way to do this, huh?

Yes, there is.
First, place your playhead at the point in the timeline where you want the new clip inserted. Presumably you have the new clip in your Viewer. Click & drag it onto the Canvas and the edit overlay will appear on top of the canvas - drop your clip onto the Insert box in the edit overlay window. Your clip will be inserted where your playhead is and all the clips to the right in the timeline will be pushed to the right.
Note: make sure you have the playhead positioned exactly where you want the new material to go; if it's in the middle of an existing clip, or even 1 single frame before the end of an existing clip, that clip will get cut at the playhead and the new clip will be inserted there. If that's what you want, fine, but just be aware of the behavior.

Artwork shifting when exporting or saving for web?

Have been creating some simple icons in Illustrator (CS 5.5), but the artwork is shifting when I try to export. For example, I'll create a 30x30px artboard, draw the icon inside the artboard, end export as a PNG. When I do this, even though the artwork is completely within the bounds of the artboard (no drop shadows or anything like that that would extend outside the artboard), there is some slight clippling that occurs in the exported icon. It's like Illustrator is shifting the artwork to the right and/or down 1 pixel as it exports. Any ideas what might be happening here?
In the meantime, as a work-around I've just been copying the artwork from Illustrator, pasting it into a 30x30px canvas in Photoshop, pasting the artwork, adn then doing Save for Web. This works fine, but is an extra step that I'd rather not have to do.

Jacob,
I tried enabling "Use Preview Bounds" as you suggested, but it still showed everything within the artboard. This was as expected since I set the button stroke for inside alignment rather than centered alignment when I created it.
I've attached an image showing the icon in 3 states. The left most image is the icon as it appears in Illustrator shown within the artboard. Actually the artboard was created by clicking on the icon. When "Use Preview Bounds" was enabled, it lined up perfectly with the artboard lines. The middle image shows the icon in the Save for Web dialog preview. You can see that it already looks shifted. The last image on the right shows the exported icon where the right and bottom edges looked cropped.
As I mentioned, if I create a 30x30px canvas in PS, copy the artwork into it, and export using Save for Web for PS, it looks fine.
Thanks for your help, BTW.

camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

Color shift when uploading

I have been trolling other sites to learn what might cause this.
I recently got a Huey device to callibrate my monitor. (I send out digital images of artwork and they need to be acurate color.)
After taking some images and loading them onto iPhoto, they seem to look very much like what I saw on the camera lcd screen. I can make subtle color and tone adjustments while capturing on the Panasonic Lumix camera. Usually, they are so close to what I want, all I do is crop in iPhoto.
But I am experiencing color shifts when I upload to make webpages so I can burn discs, or today when I uploaded to a local photo printer. They seem to move a bit towards more orange/pink tones, but when I drag them to the desk top, and open in Preview, they look identical to the iPhoto stored images.
I have read some ideas about RGB and there being bugs in iPhoto that alter your files even as you are loading them from the camera!
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
I can write scripts if it takes it. Thanks

Nanci
The pics look correct in iPhoto and Preview, right?
But not on the Web or at your local printer?
iPhoto and Preview are both Color Managed - that is (along with Safari) they read and respect the color profile of the pic.
Do the apps your Printer is using, or that you are using to view online, respect the color profile?

How do I fix the color shift when converting my photos in photoshop to srgb for the web. I work in lightroom color space prophoto rgb and after editing in photoshop I convert it over but I get a shift in the colors. Thanks

are you working in 16-bit (ProPhotoRGB, you probably should be)
exactly how are you doing the Conversion
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT CONVERTING ANY ADJUSTMENT LAYERS (flatten or merge them before convert)
AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE VIEWING THE PROBLEM AREA AT 100% ACTUAL PIXELS when you do the convert

When will Apple resolve the FCPX Crashes when Effects are added to a clip in timeline.

I have tried every route to get answers from Apple regarding system crashes when applying an Effect to a clip in the timeline. I am now getting more aware from posts in all sorts of Forum / Communities that this is causing VERY MANY users a problem.
It would only take 30 seconds for Apple to post a statement to let their users know what they intend or are doing to resolve together with an estimated fix time.
Come on Apple please SAY something at least.

Here we go - I have another thread that I started the other day, but thought I'd continue this here. I just did an extensive test. Fred, you may be on to something here. I'm beginning to think some of this is only happening if you are:
(a) running the Trial version
(b) Motion is NOT installed
(c) and it may be that the 10.0.1 update has created this problem, although surely Tom and Andy are running that update...
...or some combination of the above. Anyway...
New iMac i5 quad-core 12mb RAM - new machine with total stock config - only Apple software except for Office 2011.
FCP X Trial version, Motion is not installed
I've tried a variety of clips, but to eliminate variables, for this test I just used clips from a Canon 60D. They were imported from the card and converted to ProRes by FCP X.
Again, these crashes only relate to using the Inspector with certain Effects. If the Inspector is closed, I can apply these Effects and they play back flawlessly. However, once I've applied them and selected the clip, clicking the Inspector button causes an immediate Quit of FCP. And, if the Inspector is already open, just applying the Effect to any clip causes an immediate Quit.
These are the Effects that cause the crash (for me) by category:
Blur - Radial, Zoom
Distortion - Earthquake, Fisheye, Fun House, Glass Block, Mirror, Scrape, Water Pane
Keying - Image Mask
Lighting - Highlights, Side Lights, Spot
Looks - amazingly enough, all work except for Glory
Stylize - Censor, Halftone, Line Screen, Photo Recall, Pixellate, Vignette
Tiling - Kaleidoscope, Kaleidotile, Perspective Tile (but strangely just plain "Tile" DOES work)
So, this is approximately half of the supplied Effects. Interestingly, there is not a single category in which ALL of them work, nor one in which NONE of them work. And, by the way, doing this gave me a chance to check out every Effect - wow are there some cool ones I can't wait to work with. And, I got into this routine of highlight clip, make sure Inspector was open, double-click Effect, if no crash just CMD-z and repeat. I threw a lot of changes at it in quick succession and it handled it beautifully, except for the list above.
There is also a third party free effect from Alex4D called Smooth Move. It looks fantastic! It allows Ken Burns-like scaling which somewhat alleviates the weird animation that results if you scale and move at the same time with keyframes, BUT it allows the flexibility to NOT have the move span the entire clip like Ken Burns does. Oops, sorry, that Effect ALSO crashes the Inspector, so I can't access the controls. And, to keep this test pristine, I didn't try the Alex4D Effect on this test iMac, just on my Mac Pro on a clean system install.
Now, if Apple said (or says later) oh, wait, in the Trial version some of the Effects are not adjustable, but they are flawless in the paid version, I'd be fine with that. And, if you guys with the paid version and/or Motion installed say it works fine for you, I believe you :-). It's just that several of us were excited to get the Trial. I've been using FCP since 2003 and LOVE this new version. But, until you figure out that you can't use the Inspector with half of the Effects if you are using the Trial version, it just seems like the thing is unusable and crashes constantly - because it does.
Now that I know this, I don't think I've had a SINGLE crash otherwise - even on my "wrong" install on my MacPro with FCP7 and FCPX both on the boot drive.
