Trimming the end of a clip

I have a sequence with 2 video tracks and 2 audio tracks.
I have a scene of a person talking in chroma key with 2 video tracks and 2 audio tracks (speech and music)in the middle of my sequence. I want to cut 1 second in the end of this scene but I could not figure out how. I have tried to select all tracks at once, but I didn't suceeded. I remember that when I worked with Avid, I had to select all tracks, mark In and Out points, and then extract the marked portion in all tracks at once.
How do I do it in Premiere?

How do I get reverb to carry on at the end of a clip.

Dear FCP Community
When applying the reverb filter in FCP, I would like to have the reverberation to continue for a few seconds at the end of the clips normal length. I can't work out how to do it .... is it even possible!
With thanks, Johnny

You need to have extra material at the end of your clip called "Handles".
Then as soon as the picture section has ended, increase the amount of "Wet" effected mix in relation to the "Dry" unaffected mix.
So lets say your part with picture is 5 seconds long, you need 7 seconds of audio -2 seconds more at the end. From the 5th to 6th second you increase the ratio of wet to dry mix and from the sixth to seventh second, you fade the audio out, letting the next clip take over. Make sense?
The numbers here are just for illustration. Yours may differ.

Clips won't automatically join the end of other clips in Adobe Premiere CS6

I don't really know what happened. Before, there used to be some line or strip that would come down the end of a clip when I try to combine another video clip to it. It would automatically combine the two clips. Now it won't do that. I don't recall changing any settings. Please help!

I’m not sure what application you’re referring to but whatever it is
(Premiere perhaps?) there are forums for every application. Please post
there for help.

Premiere adding 15 frames to the end of every clip in export/sequence

Last night I exported an AVCHD 1080p Square Pixel sequence to a H.264 video file. When I checked on it this morning, the export had 15 frames added to the end of every clip in my video. I checked my project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and noticed that those extra frames were also added to my sequence. Any clue as to what would cause this?

Can you post a screenshot of your timeline.
Also one zoomed in on a problem area.
Are you using crossdissolves in a 30 fps sequence?

Frozen frame at the end of every clip

Without transitions, there is a frozen frame at the end of every clip that can be very distracting. Is there a way to disable this? I've been putting transitions in, which works, but I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks,
Elsa

Thank you very much! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. This ended up working! It ***** that I have to add this extra step, but I'm glad there is a work around. Thanks again for you help.

How to reclaim spare space back at the end of my clips on the time line

When I have edited stuff on the time line I find that through moving clips around that I have an empty space after my collection of clips that I have arranged. How do I reclaim that empty space back so that where my clips end so does the time line.
I have tried saving the project and reopening it but this does not seem to do anything as I still have the space left.
Any help would be gratefully received Thanx ahead of time.

Control click on the empty space and, on the drop down menu, click on Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then, delete the clip you just created.
If the empty space is at the end of your movie, you can do the same as above. But, if your playhead still continues moving past the end of the movie, then expand your time line as wide as possible and check down your time line for little bits of clips left over from editing, and delete those. Any audio that extends past your video clips at the end of the movie should be trimmed back as well, even if you have muted them.

How do you add a black segment at the end of a clip

I would like to add a black segment at the end of my movie to lay my credits over? How is this done?
Thanks

Isn't there an "Over Black" in the titles pane anymore? (I don't have imovie 08...)
Not as such. It depends on which "Title" option you are using. Double clicking on any of the last nine "Title" options in the lower area outside the text boxes will open the color selection tool. The first three "appear" to be "black" by default when "dropped" to the project area since they are actually transparent (as you can see when dropped to a video clip). Same seems to be true for "upper" area of the last nine.

Fad out the end of a clip

Can anybody tell me how I can fade out the end of the sound clip I have created in sound track pro?
Thanks a lot.

If you're in multitrack mode, you'll need to use volume automation. Click the arrow to the left of the track name to open the automation pane. Double-click on the volume automation line at the place you want your fade to begin. Double-click again at the place you want your fade to end and grab the little square dot to the bottom.

Audio cutting off at the end of audio clips w no change in waveform?

Audio cuts off right at the end of some of my clips... I can still see the waveforms that have the full audio on them, but no audio plays for those last two or three seconds! My audio level is the same throughout the clip, so its not like its fading out or anything. This has been happeneing for a few weeks now, in multiple seperate projects.

Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I did look at the song that got cut off and it's a .m4a file. However, I also have normal audio that comes from an external Zoom recorder in .wav format that is getting cut off in the same way. The strange thing is I've never had a problem with this before a couple weeks ago. I've used this same song before and my external audio is always in .wav format

How do I trim the end off my Final Cut Pro X timeline?

When I did my rough, rough cut, my timeline was 10 minutes long. I have since edited my video down to five minutes. Now I have five minutes of dead space trailing my five minute video. How do I snip those five minutes off the end?

"Select" and "Delete" worked for me... but one important detail.
The "Delete" key above my arrows keys (and under the "help" key) did nothing.
The "Delete" key (aka backspace) actually worked.
Note: Using an old Apple bluetooth keyboard with number keys.

White bar at the end of last clip in PP CC7.2

It comes up on the last frame. Any thoughts?

Yes, that is a new feature.
Might want to hit F1 and read what is new in 7.1 and 7.2.

How can I trim the main audio clip for slideshow

I have created a slideshow with photos and video. I want to add music, but would like to trim the main audio. If aperture doesn't have this feature, can I export my slide show to iMovie. What can I do?

Aperture allows for trimming the audio of any clip that you drop as background music onto the film strip. The clip appears as a green bar, and you can drag it to the place where you want the music to begin, also you can shorten/trim it by dragging the handles at the ends of the audio region.
For example:
If that does not suffice, you can use iTunes to trim the music. For any song in iTunes you can set the start and end time in the "options" pane of the Information panel. Then create a new, shorter version of the song, using the menu
Advanced -> create ... version.

STP Freezes shortening a clip from the end.

When ever I go to trim the length of a clip from the right side STP hangs up and I get a spinning beach ball. I need to force quit to get back to the project. Once in a great while I can trim a clip depending on the complexity of the project.
I can see others have posted questions about freezing in the past and not one that I have read was resolved.

You can import the clips in the order you want them to play, which would be the quickest.
Or you can put them all in the timeline, then zoom out on the timeline (two finger squeeze).
That makes it easier to hold the clip, and drag it to the start.

How do I make precise frame range deletions in the middle of project clip?

I need to make a precise deletion of frames 8:55:15 to 8:56:12 in the middle of my project video clip.
Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
Problem: When in my project, while the red pointer tells me exactly where I am in my clip (when I select Playhead Information in View), the problem is that I have no information to tell me the exact location of the right and left selection handles so I can precisely select 8:55:15 and 8:56:12 of my clip for deletion. I press the Option key and the pointer moves to the beginning or end of the clip, not to one end handles of the selection.
In iMovie 3 when the selection handles are moved I get information as to exactly where each handle rests in terms of time or frames for easy deletion of the exact selection I want to remove.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Thank you.

Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
Don't use it. It is for trimming the ends from the clip selection.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Yes. The basic strategy is to expand the project to its maximum scale (0.5 sec) and to then select the range of frames you wish to to edit. Start by slowly dragging the playhead across the clip in the area you wish to access. The time in white below the window will display the exact (minute:) second: and frame across which you are skimming, as well as display the frame itself in both the thumbnail and the preview screens. (NOTE: I prefer visual selection of the frames rather than using a time reference since such references may change as transitions and titles are added.) When you locate the first frame you wish to delete, press the mouse to select it. While holding down the mouse, continue to scrub the clip to locate the last frame you wish to delete. When you locate it, release the mouse. At this point you can either split the clip and keep/delet the sub-segments as needed or delete the selected range using the "Delete Selection" or "Cut" Edit menu options.
Another method would be to select the approximate range you wish to edit in the middle of the clip and then grab and drag the beginning and ending "handles" to adjust the exact start and stop frames for the "Selected" range. In this case, the times ate the bottom of the "Project" window represent the "in" and "out" points for the range of frames currently selected. Once again, I prefer to select the in and out points visually as I scrub. Also, for me, this two-stage adjustment approach seems quicker and easier for my approach to editing.
The problem is that the playhead refers to the red pointer, thus I can get an exact location of the pointer in terms of time and frame, but NOT a location of the selection handles.
Okay, I see what you mean. However, if you use the two-stange method described above, the point where you press the mouse to mark the begin handle of the selected range is the "begin handle". Same holds true for the release point (playhead time time) for the stop handle.
Is there some way I can line up the pointer exactly with the location of the right or left handle then use Option key and Left/Right arrow keys to move the handles to my exact range frame by frame?
Not really at the same time. iMovie does allow you to set the exact start point and will tell you when you have reached the exact number of seconds and frames for the range you wish to delete. Adding the two together does give you the exact time of the end of the range in seconds and frames.

Audio Drops Out at End of Imported Clips

Hi, Guys,
I have read everything and tried everything, but I can't find a solution to something which seems like it should be obvious:
I am in the process of uploading some TV programs to YouTube. I am using iMovie '11 to cut them into chunks of less than 15 minutes each. When I import the material into iMovie from a file, iMovie automatically breaks the source material into ~5 minute clips. For some reason, the sound for the last half-second or so at the end of each clip is automatically muted by the import process. Needless to say when I cut the clips back together in an attempt to recreate the video stream as it originally was, there is a half-second of audio drop-out marking the spot where the clips are welded together.
How can I get this to stop???
I notice that the advertising makes a big point of 'iMovie HD' allowing the user to adjust the length of the clips that it cuts source material into during import. Please tell me this is not a work-around for this problem 10 years after-the-fact!
Thank you.

I used to have a saying which I applied to John Cage's compositions:
"He's got nothing to say, and he's saying it. And that's BS."
Faceless capricious corporate censorship is good HOW?
As regards iMovie '11 muting a short bit of audio from the ends of clips, it turns out to be the beginnings of the clips:
My prior post uncovered a very different problem in my process. (At the time, a virtually non-existent process!)
Now I have learned my up the learning curve to the point where I am beginning to actually use some of the functionality in iMovie '11. Unfortunately my original observation of "a bit of sound" (50 to 100 milliseconds) disappearing between clips is still a problem. Here are 3 minimalist examples in the form of short test vids: {Just click "Play all". Titles projected over the vid list what you are hearing. The "about box" (YouTube "Description:" field) contains even more detail.}
http://www.youtube.com/viewplaylist?p=7E219251FC3C5FEC
I can now characterize this problem in more detail than I could previously:
The first 50 - 100 milliseconds of sound are squelched in the beginning of a clip when it is uploaded to YouTube from iMovie. This is NOT a YouTube transcoder issue. Reloading multiple copies of the same clip into iMovie yield the same result there: Dead sound between clips.
This demonstrates that iMovie chops the first ~50 milliseconds of audio off of the beginning of a vid when it "shares" (exports) it. Apparently the missing audio in some way becomes an "attribute"of the clip (like a crossfade transition that you can't remove from the beginning!), because attempts to trim the squelched audio off of the beginning of the clip meet with failure; the "bad leading edge" stays with the clip, even after the apparently offending segment has intentionally been discarded.
I checked the audio gaps with Audition, and, while I was guessing 50 - 100 ms, it turns out to be exactly 52 milliseconds of audio is squelched at the beginning of a clip. (I tried to display the image of the spectral & time-domain response here, but I can't figure out how to upload TIFFs into this forum.)
I am sure this must be the result of some simple default setting in iMovie which automatically adds a "style" or something to my vid clips upon export, but I have tried everything I can find, and, if it is, I haven't managed to reliably turn if off yet.
N.B. if I remain inside an iMovie editing session, and paste pieces together into clips without exporting the clip, or interrupting the session (as I did to produce the test vids), everything is fine. But as soon as I save a clip, the first 52 ms of audio seems to irrecoverably disappear. That continues to hold true no matter which frame in the clip subsequently becomes the new beginning.
Please forgive my iMovie newbie ignorance, but: How do I get it to STOP???
Thank you.
