Using a template for weekly show - swapping the main clip - how?

In FCE I was creating weekly church TV shows with the same intro, outro and lower thirds each week. Only the sermon track changed.
I'm wondering how to approach this in FCP X since the sermon clip in my experimenting has all the other stuff attached to it. The sermon varies by a few minutes each week.
Maybe I should have some sort of fixed slug that the intro, outro, lower thirds are attached to and then put the sermon on top but that would hide the other stuff.
Sorry - my thinking is a bit muddled here.. Any advice welcome! Maybe I could use the "P" to place them? All the intro,outro etc can start at fixed time offsets from the start - the show must always be 28:30 min/sec long.

Set up your timeline with your intro, main clip and outro. Set up your lower thirds as attached clips.
Just drag your new main clip over the old main clip. The old clip will turn white. Release and select Replace from the menu. Your old main clip will be replaced and the attached clips will stay attached.The end clip will shift its timeline position and snuggle up to the right spot. If you used any transitions in or out of your main clip, they should remain in place and still work.
Then just slide your attached clips to the right place for the new material.
This is one workflow that is greatly improved over how you would do the same in previous versions of FCP.

  • Using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog

    I have a site which was created in Adobe Muse and is hosted on Business Catalyst.
    I have created both a desktop and a phone versions of the site.
    I  want to know how I can integrate the blogs that I  currently have on the desktop site with the phone version that I just did, using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog. This is in order to ensure that visitors to the blogs on the website are directed to the templates that render correctly for the devices they are using.
    My current approach has been to create both a desktop and phone versions of the blogs. The problem with this however, is that the dates are different and the comments are separated between the two blog versions!
    I  have also tried enabling mobile templates in BC, but still couldn't find a way to specify the mobile versions of the templates for the same blog?
    To recap my problem, I basically  need a solution where the same blog uses different templates for desktop and mobile (both templates use different navigation headings and menu styles)
    Thanks.

    There can be few reason for this, including page contents links or contents used in phone/tablet version.
    Please provide the site url , also try to publish the site as a trial site in Business Catalyst with all layouts which would help to isolate the issue.
    Thanks,

  • I am using IDVD to make slide shows.  The pictures are clear and of good quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.  Is there a setting for quality of picture in burning a disk?

    I am using IDVD to make slide shows.  The pictures are clear and of high quality when viewed on my computer.  When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting adjustment to correct this problem?

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • I have used the same Apple ID on my children's iPads. Both iPads are now showing as the same. How do I get the missing account back?

    I have used the same Apple ID on my children's iPads. Both iPads are now showing as the same. How do I get the missing account back?

    You can clear the iPad and start again with the other account> Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content & Settings
    Or you can go to Settings->Itunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out,
    And Then  Sign in with the other account. You can then download the Apps with that account. Though you may block the other account for 90 days.
    Your best bet is to set it up again using the orighinal account it had, so you can get their Apps back. without affecting your account.

  • Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

    Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

    In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
    Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • How to create server 2012 R2 image to be used as template for cloud?

    Hi,
    I need help to create windows server 2012R2 image that can be used as template for AWS or Azure or any other cloud provider.
    VM created from that template must
    1) be syspreped
    2) answer all setup questions
    3) must change computer name to unique name
    4) must automatically join VM to on-premise domain.
    I need Microsoft supported way to do that. Does creating unattended answer file will help? But, I don't want to provide domain joining credentials in plain text. Where should I keep that answer file so that it can be used during setup process.
    Is there any other ways to achieve that.
    Thank you.

    How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I havent used my ipod for sometime and forgotten the 4 digit passcode what can i do

    i havent used my ipod for sometime and forgotten the 4 digit passcode what can i do

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

    i smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone? the phone is still working fine, just the screen needs changing by the looks of it.

    Why would Apple replace or repair the phone for free? Will a car manufacturer replace or repair the car you drove into a wall for free? If you sit on your spectacles, will the optician give you another pair for free?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement phone for $199 in the US, similar price in your local currency.
