Titles-Clips-Audio

I have a movie clip with audio. I then paste at playhead a still photo clip of 11:20 length. I do and everything is fine. NOW I want to add a Scrolling Title. I type in my block of words the clip photo is rendered and it now becomes 20:01 in length and the audio now has a pause before it picks up in the next clip. The added length of the clip actually has no scrolling as the scrolling was about 11:20 in length.
Sure would appreciate some help BTW can someone tell me how to do math and figure out exactly where and when a clip can be inserted?

Hi froggi - Do I understand you correctly? You have used Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead to insert a still with an 11:20 duration. You have then applied an 11:20 duration Scrolling Title to the still. This still for some reason has now increased to over 20 secs. This extra length (which is not displaying any title) has no audio. Audio starts again with the remainder of the video clip.
I do not know why the extended still duration has happened. It sounds almost as though you have mistakenly pasted another copy of the still. Anyway, it should be possible to trim it so that only the part with audio remains.
It may actually be better to do the Scrolling title BEFORE pasting it over.
tell me how to do math and figure out exactly where and when a clip can be inserted?
Do you mean where and when a 'paste over at playhead' can be inserted? If so, the answer is - anywhere. Usually it will be inserted into a single clip, so that clip would have to be longer than the paste-over.
Does that help?

Black title with clip audio

Hi!
I started using iMovie 11 and I'm having a small issue with it.
I want to finish my project by fading to a black screen and having then text appearing on the screen, but keeping the audio of the clip.
I've tried to drop a title AFTER a clip but it does then cut the audio. I've also dropped a title ON a clip but then it doesn't have a fade to black background.
What I did until now is cut my clip in 2 parts, put a fade to black transition and tried to change the video options of the second clip to make it appear black. The result is not that good as I can't make the background full black (there's still some blue somewhere).
Any chance there's an easy and proper way to do that that I've missed?
Very simple, fade to black title with audio clip.
Thanks!

Kdenlive not rendering with title clip

After doing a system upgrade kdelive will no longer render my project, which rendered fine before the upgrade. After I click render, it either gets stuck in "waiting" or it gives an error saying that rendering crashed. If I turn off the title clip, rendering proceeds as normal. Looking around I saw some people with similar problems fixing it by running kdenlive as root, but in my case that didn't solve anything. Anyone have any ideas?
The kdenlive profile I'm using is HD 1080p 59.94fps and I'm trying to render an H.264 video (although trying other formats encounters the same problem).
Some relevant package info:
[root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs kdenlive
local/kdenlive 0.9.6-2
A non-linear video editor for Linux
[root@labby ~]#
[root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs ffmpeg
local/ffmpeg 1:2.1.1-1
Complete and free Internet live audio and video broadcasting solution
local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
Gstreamer FFMpeg Plugin
[root@labby ~]#
[root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs mlt
local/mlt 0.9.0-5
An open source multimedia framework

Have you upgraded the system?
I had this same problem until yesterday, only kdenlive did not render at all, with or without title clip. Googling about it, I think it was some kind of conflict with mlt and opencv. Opening kdenlive as root did not work for me. I initially downgraded to the previous version of mlt (0.9.0.1 if I remember cforrectly); with that I could render, but only without title clips present. Solution came with last update of opencv (and re-upgrade of mlt).
Also, while I was looking up this problem, I read about a similar bug being related to the sound, and installed ladspa (just in case all the previous doesn't completely solve your problem).

Why is FCPX freezing repeatedly while moving title clips?

Hello to all.
I am facing an exasperating situation. I am at the tag end of a project and I find that FCPX is freezing whenever I try to relocate a title. Have been forcrd to repeatedly force quit! Have trashed the preferences repeatedly, have restarted and even shut down the computer, have deleted thumbnail data, but, FCPX refuses to work.
Have read other posts in which one gentleman facing a similar problem was able to shift his titles with the inspector window closed. In my case, his method of surmounting the problem has not worked.
Right now I am minded to do this:
open FCPX once again, delete the existing titles, accurately place new titles and renter the text. Shall let you know the progress.
Until then, if there is some useful input in this totally frustrating matter, I would be too happy to lap it up!
Thanks in advance.

An update.
I have done this: copy the 'problematic' section of the project into a new project and have tried to edit the title clips in the new project...but this too was not of help.
I noticed that the FCPX would freeze only when a playback is attempted with the clip selected. But it would not whimper were I to move the clips, extend or shorten them.
Upon this realisation, making a 'crude' assessment based upon the audio waveforms, I did my 'rough' editing of the titles...and, the finished work appeared 'decent' enough. The flaws would be certainly noticed by seasoned viewers.
While pondering over this matter, I have this hunch that this erratic behavior of FCPX could have been triggered by my doing this: I had need of placing many titles in the project, and all of the text had to be given [almost] the same size fonts, tracking, face color, outline color and width. I had in an earlier thread asked whether there was any shortcut by which one could get all these parameters into the text without having need to edit each title individually. In that thread I learnt that one needed to do such a 'custom title' in Motion, which I do not have. In a moment of 'carelessness', acting against my better judgment, I did this 'easy' way of gettting things done: copy one title which had been editied and paste it at the required spot on the timeline; this done, I would delete the earlier text and replace it with the new one.
I guess that resorting to this 'easy shortcut' had forced me to take the 'hard long route'!
Whether this 'logic' of mine regarding the origin of the problem is correct or not, I sincerely hope that Apple would give its fans the happiness of easily adding preset parameters such as font size, face color, outline color and width etc. to one's text from within FCPX itself.
I would also like to hear from other forum members regarding this seriuos matter. From other posts I understand that I am not unique in facing this problem but others too have faced it. For those to whom videomaking is a hobby [I am not one of them], having to face or pass through this kind of problem may not affect their careers adversely, but for those who are professionals [I am not one of them!], whose livelihoods and reputations are at stake, facing this problem would be the equivalent of smelling one's goose being cooked!
I would also like the reader viewing this post to view this short video which has given me so much trouble:

Combining and Editing Sound in Titles Clip

Okay, now that I actually managed to capture the sound I wanted from my camera to my computer I am unable to find anything in the iMovie tutorial that explains how to get the sound and titles together AT ALL, much less exactly the way I want. How do you edit sound to coordinate it with picture? For instance:
1. Because of the nature of the capture device, I had to capture sound at the beginning and end of the clip that I didn't want to ensure I got ALL the sound I DID want. As a result, I want my opening titles sound to BEGIN at 1:23:28 and END at 1:59:17. I think the clip is almost exactly this length. If it's longer, and there's black screen/no sound for a few seconds at the end, FINE, but I don't want extra sound at the end of the audio clip spilling over onto the picture (titles). So how do I make sure that JUST this part of the clip ends up on the titles without recapturing it trying to cut it closer, and
2. How do I get the sound to play at the same time, in the same clip as the titles, at all? What is the exact process of putting picture and sound together?
Thanks for any replies. I'm off to work on the parts I do understand.

Although I can't find anything about combining picture and sound in the iMovie Tutorial, I did find something about shortening clips:
Keeping Only the Parts You Want
Edit clips in the timeline view
1. Click the Timeline Viewer button in the iMovie window.
2. Select a clip from the iMovie timeline.
3. Move your pointer to near the end of the clip and notice the pointer change to two arrows. This means you can trim your clip.
4. Drag your pointer toward the center of the clip and notice that the duration of your clip shortens as you move further to the left. You can see the new ending point in the clip viewer.
5. Stop dragging when you find exactly the frame you want to end your clip. Notice the right edge of your clip now displays a straight edge rather than rounded corners indicating an edit has been made.
6. If you change your mind and want to restore the clip to a longer duration, simply drag the edge to the right.
7. Repeat this process with the other end of the clip.
8. Save your iMovie project.
I don't see why in the world this wouldn't work just as well for a sound-only clip as a picture-and-sound clip. The only way I see of getting the out-of-sequence ones I want in the order I want is to either duplicate the clip and then shorten both clips, or delete the existing clip and recapture it as two clips--then shorten each to the length I want and somehow run them together in sequence. (Copying it into two clips would be faster and easier for me, but is it possible and does it make a difference?)
What I don't know is how to make it understand to put the three clips (these two shortened ones and the third I want to follow it) into ONE sound sequence, and then make it understand to run THAT sequence with the closing titles! How do I get each sound clip together with each other, then make it run together with each title clip I want? This has me at a loss. It would REALLY help if I could do this like TODAY! I will be DEEPLY GREATFUL to whoever can offer a CLUE!

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

From the Transitions browser (far right of iMovie's window, shaped like an hourglass), drag the Fade to Black transition to the gap between the Title and video thumbnail. Alternatively, drag the Cross Dissolve transition - rather than fading to black, the image will gradually transform from the Title to the video.
Double-click the transition to open the Inspector - you can change the duration there if preferred.
John
PS. Re-reading your question, if the video is continuous with a Title inserted, you will need to split the clip at the point where the Title ends, then drag in the transition. To split the clip, right-click (or Control-click) at the split point then select "Split Clip" from the pop-up menu.

Removing excess from a title clip

I added a scrolling title clip to my project and used Clip Adjustments to make it 30 seconds, which made the scroll roll at a comfortable pace for readability. The problem is that iMovie added an extra 12 seconds of blank title screen after the last word scrolls off screen. How do I remove the extra time without affecting the scroll speed? Simply dragging the end of the clip shortens it, but it also speeds it up to an unreadable speed. If cropping is the answer, how do I do it? The Help dialog didn't help me. I'm not very adept in the use of iMovie, so please try to help me in simple language!

Kdenlive fail rendering if title clips or images are in the project

Hi.
Thats what happen if I try to render a project with title clips or images inserted, whatever is the output that I choose. If I hide title clips and images, the project renders
I get a popup that says
Rendering of /home/pathtooutputfile aborted, resulting video will probably be corrupted
And what I see in the error log is a little different with the output I chose:
If I choose mp4 I get
[libmp3lame @ 0xb0510e20]
Channel layout not specified
[mp4 @ 0xb050ae40]
Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.
If mpeg2
Channel layout not specified
[mpeg @ 0xb050ae40]
VBV buffer size not set, muxing may fail
If vob
Channel layout not specified
[ac3_fixed @ 0xb0510e60]
No channel layout specified. The encoder will guess the layout, but it might be incorrect.
If mov
[mov @ 0xb050ae40]
Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.
I'm going crazy (a month ago everything worked fine).
Any suggestions?
I search and found this http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/rendering … lip?page=2 but no way (and I don't know if it is my issue)
(my english is not so good... sorry)
Thanksssssss

How to re-render a modified title clip?

I made a title clip in Motion, rendered and loaded in FCPX. Now I have modified it in Motion and rendered again (IN MOTION) with same name, so it replaced the old file.
Now, I see that FCPX reads the old clip yet (probably it reads the old rendered file).
It seems it cannot realize that the clip has changed in its internal contents...
How can I tell FCPX to re-render the modified clip?

Make a change. Push the opacity down. Push it up. Not undo. If you modify a file in Motion, export with a new name and thn relink to the you new file.

Adobe after Effects CC Automatically Speeds up Clips/Audio

My Adobe After Effects CC Automatically Speeds Up Any Clip/Audio I drag Into It How Can I Fix This?

Without details I have no idea what's going on. It is not normal, but I don't know anything about your experience level, your system, your project, the type of audio file or anything else about your project. You might have just as well asked "Why is watermelon?"

Looking solution for clipped audio

I edited a total of 20 minutes video clips from Canon TX1 with three Macs. As I edited and played back finished project on 24" iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo 2 2GB memory and 1T HDD with 670 GB available, the movie clip audio disappeared at about 15 minutes. The back ground music audio stayed on. The same movie files, when edited with 11' MBA, 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo 4GB memory and 128 FS, the movie clip audio disappeared at around 2 minutes. When the same movie files edited with 27" iMac Core i5 8GB memory and 840GB available HDD memory, with iMovie 9 did not lose any audio. The problem seems to be unique to iMovie 11. Am I only one experiencing this? Appreciate your suggestion.

More information. iMovie 9 in Core 2 Duo MBP with 4 GB memory and only 6 MB HDD memory left, plays the edited same video clips without any problem. Is there any way revert iMovie 11 to iMovie 9?

Loose iphone clip audio half way through

Hi all...
I am putting together a movie in imovie consisting of video from my camcorder with clips inserted from an iphone 5 Just noticed, the iphone 5 clip audio just stops about 25% of the way through. Plays fine on the iphone.. I delted the clip from my project & re imported.... same issue
Any advise?

Same issue here. This is the 4th post I've found on this problem today from searching the forums.

FCE crashes when creating Title clip

Every time I try to create a title clip, the program crashes. I can select the text generator I want, but when I click the Control tab to enter the text, the spinning beach ball shows up and the program crashes. It does this no matter which text generator I choose.
I've tried restarting my computer, repairing permissions, and trashing preferences as described in one similar case (com.apple.FinalCutExpress.plist, Final Cut Express Obj Cache, Final Cut Express Prof Cache.fcpch); but it made no difference.
FYI: I just purchase FCE and installed it. Software Update had trouble updating it to 4.0.1, and I had to reinstall the program to get the update to run correctly. I don't know if that's relevant to my problem.
Without the ability to create title clips, I will be unable to use Final Cut Express; so this is not a feature I can work around.

I worked with an Apple Genius to isolate font problems. We discovered it worked fine when no user fonts were enabled, so it seemed I just needed to figure out which user-installed font was corrupt. Thus I started with all my user fonts disabled and began enabling a few at a time and testing to see when the problem resurfaced. After painstakingly testing all my fonts, I have been unable to replicate the problem. You read that right: I've re-enabled ALL my user fonts, and the problem is gone.
I don't know if the crashing will resurface, as it makes no sense that the process of shutting fonts off and turning them back on should fix anything. But for now, that appears to have done the trick.

I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
How can I have both?

Hi
My first thought is -
Where are the original Audio file ?
If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.
Yours thinking - Bengt W

How can I compensate for what a transition takes from a title clip?

I'm putting together, in iMovie 4, a slideshow, consisting entirely of clips from the Photo Pane. I imported my clips to the Viewer, then added cross-dissolve transitions, except where I wanted to create a title. Some clips have the Ken Burns Effect.
Here's the problem: after I add a title clip, then add transitions in front & back of it, the title clip's duration reduces. With the title highlighted, I go back into the Title Pane and increase its duration, but the transition bleeds off the increase, as it re-renders, every time. There's no problem updating a photo clip between two dissolves.
The cross-dissolves are about 1:20 in duration. I want my title clips to be about 2:10 or so. There's also the problem with title clips that their total duration is a combination of speed and pause. So adjusting their duration is complicated, once I get the total duration I want, but then have to try compensating for what the transition will take away.
Has anyone solved this problem for themselves, & if so, what do they suggest?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
David

What if you put a photo down for a set duration, and
then put the same photo down back to back with the
first one, and use the second one to make the
transition with? Then of course, use a "transition"
photo for the next clip, and then back to back with
it, with a secondary clip of the same photo to last
the desired duration before you go on to the next
clip, with a third but same photo dedicated to make
the transition with? And so on...
Your suggestion has helped me in other ways by introducing me to the concept of adding clips to solve problems. I won't get into the details. Lennart, some time ago, suggested the same thing in another context, which worked, but I didn't transfer that knowledge, until now. Thanks.
