Trimming only one of adjacent clips
Okay, this will be an easy question for someone, I'm sure, but not knowing the terminology, searches are coming up empty. I just jumped from CS3 to CS6 and am adjusting to a lot of changes - one is this: When I have two clips that are touching each other on a track and I want to trim one of them away from the other to leave a gap (where the lower track would show through), it would be simple in CS3 - with the regular select tool, I would just get near the edge of the clip I want to trim and drag the end of it away from the other one. But in CS6, I have only found two choices: the red double-arrowed combo trim (which works on both clips, not just one) or the yellow ripple-trim (also not what I'm trying to do). So far the only way I have figured out how to do what I want is to use the razor tool to slice the clip, then select the unwanted little piece and delete it. I'm doing this over and over, but it's getting annoying - is there an easier way?
Sorry ..I meant to mention
"Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key"
but you found it any way.
FWIW: I have modified my keyboard so that Shift-Z will toggle thru the Edit Modes once selected. I select usually by using "T" (Trim Mode) and occasionaly the mouse.
Then my edit is usually done with "E" Trim to Playhead ...which will utilise any of the edit Modes as selected.
HAving the Trim Monitor open thru this is a bonus and I utilise that as well. It has the frame counter so thats handy also.

Video imported as only one clip on iMovie 08
I imported video from a Canon Elura 100 that consisted of many clips(100+) that showed up as only one long clip. I found info that suggested that it could be that the camera's date and time wasn't set. I tried another DV tape (camera's date & time is set) with the same result. Any suggestions on what went wrong and is there an easy way to separate into clips?

Strange how you complain about getting a single file while others are complaining that their content is broken into dozens if not hundreds of segments.

Have no idea why you have been so "blessed" or "cursed" (depending on you point of view) but see no real difference in editing other than an individual's personal point of view when it comes to managing the content as source material. iMovie will handle the content equally well whether the project resource pointers point to various segments of a single long file or to separate segments in separate files. If you have to physically separate your files, you can always trim and segment the raw files any way you want to dispose of the dross you will never need or use. I would not, however, recommend using a physical/file destructive work flow within iMovie '08 as it is a bad habit to get into if you ever work with anamorphic source material (i.e., you can lose your flag and iMovie with thereafter treat your files as 4:3 content). -
How to open only one clip at a time in the source monitor?
Ok the answer to this question may be simple.. hopefully...
At the moment each time I open a clip in the source monitor it adds it to the dropdown list.
Fine... but I am opening and closing hundreds of clips in a day and after a while I noticed it seemed to be slowing down the whole PPCS5.5 system.
It appears that PP seems to be keeping each clip I open... active.
Is there a way to allow only one clip to be open at a time in the source monitor... other than having to close them all first??? (would be ideal if there was some kind of shortcut like shift-doubleclick)SonyZ7's can record to compact flash cards as well as tape, so I generally log and transfer from the cards.
So I guess I should do a bit more research on workflow's in Pr

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.
If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?
When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
Thanks,
MichaelTom,
Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange. -
Why does my imported video appear on only one clip?
I had only made a few in the past but I remember well that the footages appeared as several clips on the pane window.On this occasion I have but only one clip, despite the fact i wasnt running the camera constantly and took several bits of film footage.Rather confused by it
Actually i just finished importing in and it has appeared as two clips which still isnt much good as it limits my editing options somewhat.There area few bits i would like to remove , then add trans and effects as well

Chosing multiple clips, hold on to them, when I then want only one.
When choosing several clips to move on a timeline, then I want to choose one end of one of those clips, which happens often, it automatically chooses the ends of all the clips that I originally chose. (I know if I hold down the shift It will only choose my single clip).
Other editing programs work more efficiently (oppositely) without using shift key.
If I move several clips, I then click on one end of any of those clips, which "unlocks" the hold on all those moved clips, and allows me to simply extend the length of a single clip, without having to hold down the "shift" key.
I'd rather have to hold down shift to include all last held clips ends, as this move is much more less used.Hi Mark, Yes, you are correct. Only thing is that having to deselect first, seems to be an unnessisary extra move. I thought maybe there might be a setting somewhere to change this. Another design flaw I guess... :-(

Only one angle visible and no audio audible in multicam clip
Two source media clips are ProRes and one is AVCHD. Creating the multiclip seems to work in so far as making a clip with 3 camera angles in it. But only one camera angle's picture is actually visible; the other two are black frames. No audio is heard at all. All 3 source media clips have audio and that's how I synched them. I can't see any audio waveforms in the multicam clip in the sequence. With the multicam button activated, I can make the yellow rectangle move around as though something were there, but no picture. In the multicam creation dialogue, I chose track 1 audio for synch and camera 1 to be my audio source. I am using the latest version of PP CC.
I saw a long thread from June/July 2013 discussing a similar problem, but that supposedly has been fixed. What is happening here? I exported a Final Cut Pro 7 project with 2-angle multi-clips in it, imported that XML file into Premiere and the multiclips worked fine. This is a different project, but I have no idea why this is not working. The answer is not in the instructions.I do wish the PDF would include the original, manual method of multicam sequence creation, preferably as the first option, as that method still works just fine and often works better than the 'auto' methods now hyped.
For interested readers, here's the process:
1. Create a sequence.
2. Add your clips.
3. Sync them up.
4. Create a second sequence.
5. Nest the first sequence into the second.
6. Right click that nested sequence and select Multi-Camera>Enable.
A very simple process that works every time. -
Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help
Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
Many thanks. -
A way to combine adjacent clips into one, as in Pro Tools - "Consolidate?"
Is there any way, in a multitrack project, to combine adjacent clips, incorporating crossfades, etc.? For instance, in cutting ambience onto the beginning of a clip of dialogue, to be able to consolidate the clips so as to do a "fade-in across the cross-fade" (without having to rubber-band the envelope).
I didn't look at STP when I replied. Don't see a glue tool, anywhere. Anyone else?

Randomly slow, yet consistently slow, performance on only one project
After reading through many of the FAQs before posting this, I'm still at a loss for a solution though I admit I haven't exhausted all of my options just yet (I'm waiting on the more drastic ones - like throwing the computer).
I can scrub and play without problem, but any time I alter anything (trim, delete, even razor a clip in the timeline) Premiere hangs for about 2 minutes after that mouse click... and any mouse click aside from play/stop. I've been editing 1080p .mov files shot from a Canon 7d for a couple months now (my free time is rather limited). I'm using an iMac with OS X (3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz, etc.) and I've double checked that all updates for it and CS5 are up to date. The source files are kept on an external raid drive attached via USB 2.0 and I haven't had any issues. I know these factors break multiple rules listed in this forum, but, like I said, I haven't had any problem 'till about 48 hours ago and without obvious cause.
Since then, I've run multiple cache cleaners, virus software, etc., I've re-saved under different names, I've copied and pasted everything into new projects, I've copied the source files onto my internal drive (effectively giving me far less than the suggested 20% free space necessary, though) and reassigned them to a duplicate project, and I've tried beginning from scratch with importing only a few of the .mov files from my shoot into a new project. Unfortunately, the only one that has not repeated the problem is the last option. I'd rather not have to start editing from scratch. I refused to believe there is simply too much information in the timeline (barely 20 minutes with maybe a hundred cuts from about 50 or so separate source files). My only thoughts at this point are that the footage became corrupt (then why can I still edit it from a brand new project?), the computer has an undetectable virus (why does anything else beside this project, or projects with matching timelines, work?), my software/hardware is inadequate (nothing changed within the last week, or since the beginning of my project).
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Do I need to go back down to CS3, which never gave me such problems? Do I need to make the switch to Final Cut because I've just about had it with Premiere's difficulties?
I really hope there's an obvious solution that I've overlooked. Or any solution...Which version of Premiere Pro are you running? CS5, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3? What kind of video card is installed? If you are on a Mac with an ATI card and running Premiere Pro 5.0.2, or 5.0.3, reinstall Premiere Pro CS5 and leave it at v. 5.0. Do not update it.
Another possibility is a corrupt sequence. Can you copy/paste your clips from your master sequence to a new one with the same settings. Try that.
You should also know that your system really needs upgrading, or you'll continue to have problems like this. USB 2.0 is much, much too slow for the files you wish to play back. Upgrade to an external FW800 drive and your situation will improve. Also bump up the RAM to max out your iMac (8 or 16 GB) for a better editing experience.
In comparing Premiere Pro CS5 and CS3 versions, CS5 will need more resources because of its nature as a 64 bit application. You'll definitely need a lot more RAM for the system to operate as you would expect it. -
Apply effect to only one video line
Does anyone know how to apply a transition to only one video line? Check out my video for further explanation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPCs8lsJR3YCan't do that with that transition. It will always effect the adjacent clip coming in ot going out.

Transition on Adjacent Clips Causes PE4 to Halt...
Any idea why on certain adjacent AV clips I can only get a 'Dissolve to Black" to sit on only one side of the pair. All clips in the project are DV-AVI and were generated in the same fashion prior to loading into PE.
If I leave the Dissolve on only one side of the pair, when I click on Share/Disk, PE Halts and won't restart without a re-boot. Remove the Dissolve and Burn-to-Folder completes okay. I can re-produce the halt at will.
Any ideas appreciated...Kodebuster,
I've got two:
1.) Handles: depending on the Duration of your Transition, you need half of that Duration (if the Transition is centered) in extra frames to allow for it to be used, i.e. with a 30 frame Duration Tranisition, you need 15 frames on each adjacet Clip. If you do not have those Handles, you can only place the Transition onto one of the Clips, with the exception of Dip-to-Black. That's why one should always shoot a second, or two, of extra footage per scene/Clip. In Clips that are longer, but have had the In & Out Points set, this is why one often sees a frame, or two, from the next shot, just as the Transition gets to the mid-point - the Handles are not quite long enough. Check carefully, that have adequate Handles at the Tail of the first Clip and at the Head of the next one.
2.) Gaps: The same thing happens (or so it appears), if one has an even 1 frame gap, between the two Clips. If one is looking at the Timeline zoomed out, these are hard to see. Gaps can (though not always) cause all sorts of problems. They are most easily spotted by zooming in to the frame-view-level, and looking closely. I also will hit Home, then PageDn, to step through each Clip. The CTI (Current Time Indicator) should go smoothly from Clip to Clip. If you get a "pause" or "hesitation," then you likely have a gap. These can be closed up by: moving all following Clips to the left to close, or by extending the Duration of one of the nearly adjacent Clips by the required number of frames (see Handles, above). If one is doing Dip-to-Black, a tiny piece of Black Video can be inserted.
Now, why PE halts on you, is a bit of a mystery, as it will usually play through problems with Handles and also gaps. Not sure what is causing that.
Tell us a bit more about your two "adjacent" Clips and also which Transitions you are using. That might help figure out the reason for the pause.
Good luck,

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.
Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????
