Using effects on only a portion of clip

Is the best way to use an effect on only a portion of a clip to use the blade tool? the reason i ask is i am trying not to split up clips because i usually add in cross dissolve transitions at the end to all clips. I then need to find the split clips and remove the transitions.
Any comments are appreciated,

I once thought that the range tool could do that. But it does not. As far as I know therer is no option other than Blade tool. Maybe you coould turn it into compond clip after using the blade. Others may have the right solution.

How to apply effects to only a portion of a track?

I recorded drums through a presonus firepod audio interface and my 2,16Ghz MacBook Pro on 4 different tracks.
There are some parts on the tracks where i'd like to apply some effects (like am radio kind of effects) but i can't seem to apply it on only the selected part. It seems to apply to the whole track...
Anyone wants to tell me how to do that?

To further expand on John's advice...
One way to do this with automation, is to send the outputs of your drum tracks to an Aux. Then set that Aux track as an input to another Aux track.
Put the radio effect plug-in on that second aux track, and mute it.
Using automation, you leave the first Aux track unmuted for the majority of the song, but when that section comes up, you unmute the second aux track, while you mute the first aux track. After the section passes, revert the mute status back to the way it was originally.
Using automation, you can fine tune this so it becomes seamless...
Just one of many ways to skin this proverbial cat...

How to delete only a portion of the data portal?

This would be similar to DataDelAll() command, but allow only a limited set of data to be removed.
For some background:
- DIAdem 9.1 sp2
- LabVIEW interface calling various DIAdem/VBS scripts
Using DIAdem to format reports based on various scripts and TDM data
results, I would like to be able to load and unload various data files
(TDM) while maintaining the specific report layout (also TDM) data in
the portal. Two (ugly) options seem to be:
a) load entire data result set into the portal (including layout instructions) and process, or
b) keep track of layout state variables and clear portal/reload layout/load next data
This would all be easy if there is a command to enable the right-click delete... behavior of the data portal UI.
Thanks!
James

Hello James,
there are diufferent commands you can use to delete only a portion of the data in the portal. You can delete single channels, a selection of channels, or entire groups with these three commands:
Call ChnDel(ChnArg) - deletes one channel
Call ChnDelete(ClpSource) - deletes a selection of channels
Call ChnSDel(ChnArg1, ChnNo) - delets a number of channels
Call GroupDel(TargetGroupIndex) - deletes a group including its channels
To create a selection of channels as argument for the second command, have a look at the functions
ChnSelAdd, ChnSelGet, ChnSelCount

Add effect to portion of clip?

I would like a particular clip to alternate between a couple of different effects and understand that I can use the blade tool to split the clips and apply effects in that manner, but is there a way to apple effects to a portion of a single clip without splitting the clip?
Tia,
Bill

I don;t like to split a clip unless I have to. You can add keyframes to animate the values of effects. Most effects have an Amount parameter. Some do not. What you want to do depends on exactly what effect you're talking about.

FCPX - Viewing portions of clips used

Hi
Once you've imported clips into the FCPX event library, is there some way to view which portions of clips have been used in a project? In iMovie, used clips have an orange line running through them in the Event Library...

Right now, you have to manually take care of this by adding a keyword to anything you add to the timeline (you can also make it a "favorite" by pressing 'F'). Then in the event browser you can choose that keyword (or choose to only see "Favorite" clips) to see that content. If you use 'F', you would see a green line, which is most close to what you describe in iMovie. Be aware though, if you trim the clips in the timeline, that doesn't get reflected in the event browser.
Once you have added a clip to the timeline, you can select it, and press shift-F (match frame) to have it reselected in the event browser. This would let you retro-actively add a keyword or make it a favorite clip.

Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
Note the option to print selection only.
Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
It does appear in Word though.

Can you explain when using keywords and addding them to various clips pressing ctrl and a number eg. 1 or 2 it simply closes down FCPX. Just to the dock as would th yellow -sign. As you gather I am new to this program having only used Final Cut Express 4

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.

How do I invert a selection in iMovie 11/ delete unused portions of clips

I want to delete unused portions of clips:
In iMovie 11 an orange bar appears at the bottom of a clip to show that that portion of the clip is being used in a project.
If I click on the orange bar, the yellow clip selection extends to that portion of the clip.
I want to invert the selection so that the portion of the clip that is not used is selected so that I can reject it and later delete unused portions.
If there is another way to do that then great...
Thanks
David

I think it might be easier to first finish the project with all that extra video clip lying around and then use the Space Saver to tidy things up. It's under the File Menu and is always done at the very end when you have already Finalized your project.
From the iMovie Help:
In the Event Library, select one or more Events.
To select more than one Event at a time, press Command as you click Event names.
Choose File > Space Saver.
The File menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
Select any of the following:
To reject all of the video that hasn’t been added to an iMovie project, select “Not added to any project.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked as “favorite,” select “Not marked as Favorite.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked with a keyword, select “Not marked with a keyword.”
Click “Reject and Review.”The view changes to show only the rejected clips in the selected Events.
*Note: This is not the full listing of Help for the Space Saver function but you get the idea. It seems as though Apple thinks it's a much better use of your time to put off the house keeping tasks like cleaning up unused video until after you have Finalized the project.

Is there a way to 'Mark In' & 'Mark Out' ONLY a PORTION of a Track?

Hello
I'm doing voice-overs' - no multitrack music creations.
I don't see an option much like in FC, where you can extract (for export), only a portion of a track that you've created in Garage Band.
Is there?
And of course GB automatically shares/exports it tracks straight to iTunes.
It's only from there that you then have to 'SHOW SONG FILE' in order to extract it as an AIFF to be used in a project elsewhere.
Is there anyway around this as well?
Thanx
Mike

Before I drag the yellow rule bar over the wanted portion of audio, should I first do the editing, delete the bad sections, then piece all the indiviual sentences and words together (Blue Clips), and somehow make them 'ONE' intergrated clip? Do this BEFORE I drag the yellow rule over that audio?
As I said somewhere above, the yellow ribbon doesn't do anything to your project, it's just a way to (1) loop the playback and (2) designate the export section of your song.
That having said: Most people leave the cycle region off while editing, because the playback will always start on its left edge which can be annoying. And if you want your final export to be flawless - of course edit out the flaws until you like your project, then set the cycle region and export.
And GB doesn't care much if your project consists of many small clips per track or one big one. The only reasons to join regions (by marking all of them and clicking apple-J) are: (1) save disk space, since the regions are mixed down to a new one and the old recordings are trashed, including the stuff you haven't used, and (2) make it easier to move chunks of regions around.

Effect Controls Blank For Any Selected Clip

Hello Adobe Community,
After much searching, I have been unable to find a solution to my problem and so turn to you, the community. Essentially, I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and would like to apply a rotation effect to a particular clip (Accidentally recorded in portrait). Unfortunately I can't seem to apply any effect to any clip as the Effect Controls Panel is blank (Even though I have a clip selected there is no drop-down). Everything I have found says that the effects should just show up when a clip is selected, but I must be missing something. I am going to go out on a limb here an guess it is either related to the fact that the clip is an .mp4 or because I am currently using a trial version of Premiere, but I'm hopeful that you will be able to answer my question.
Thanks in advance,

The addition of Master Clip Effects in PPRO CC2014 changed things a bit for the Effect Controls Panel [ECP]. In prior versions, since effects could be applied only to clips in a sequence (aka, a "track items")the ECP was unaffected by panel focus. Now, in order to serve master clip effects, the ECP is focus-sensitive:
When the Timeline focus and a single track item is selected there, the ECP loads that track item. With a track item loaded, the ECP always shows the "intrinsic" effects: for Video, Motion, Opacity, and Time Remapping; for Audio, Volume, Channel Volume, and Panner.
When the Source Monitor has focus with a master clip loaded, the ECP loads that master clip. Because the intrinsic effects are not supported for master clips, when a master clip is loaded the ECP will be empty until you apply an effect.
Setting focus on panels other than a Timeline or the Source Monitor has no effect on what's loaded in the ECP.
If master clip effects are a new concept for you, this page is worth perusing: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Master Clip Effects

I can't save properly, I can't use effects properly, and I need HELP!!

I've had iMovie HD 6 for a while now. It was quite lovely at first. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. I use it often, and I have quite a few iMovie files saved to a special folder because sometimes I need to edit my movies later on.
For a while now (around eight months or so) I've been struggling with iMovie. iMovie is winning. My first and biggest problem is the fact that my iMovie files won't save properly. All my movies are in the place I want them to be, I save, and then I exit iMovie. The next day I open up the file to work on my movie, and everything is gone except for titles, photos, stillframes, background music and sound effects, and any clips that I edited. I've been dealing this by simply never exiting iMovie while I'm working on a project. iMovie will stay open for days (sometimes weeks) at a time until I finish and can put it onto iDVD and burn it. It burns fine. Another way I've been dealing with it is by editing every single clip in my movie with the effect settings placed so that nothing is actually changed. For instance, I'll use the Hue Adjust effect on every clip, but I won't touch the settings on it so that all the clips look exactly the same as before. This worked well for a while, and it brings me to my second problem...
My second problem is that I can't use my effects properly anymore! Over the months, more and more effects would become unusable. Now I don't have any that work properly. For instance, if I try to use the Fairy Dust effect, I will still have a sparkle going across the clip as I'm supposed to, but the entire clip will be many shades lighter as if I used Brighten and Contrast to make the clip lighter even though I didn't. It is the same for every other effect now. They work, but they make the clip they are used on lighter.
One more problem is that I can't export to Quicktime with Full Quality. If I do full quality, the movie freezes at a single frame partway through the movie while the audio keeps going. I always assumed that this was because the file was too large to work properly, but if I could export my movies with full quality, I would feel better about deleting my iMovie project files. It's always done this. It's not a new thing.
Wow, I have way too many problems with iMovie. Help with any one of them would be greatly appreciated! I really need to do something about this soon. I've tried reinstalling iMovie, but there was no difference. Thank you so much!

It would be a good idea to do close down all programs and do a permissions repair. Use the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your Mac hard drive and follow the on screen directions.
After that, with iMovie closed trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist file located in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new file on relaunch.
If you are storing your project on an external hard drive, make sure that your external hard drive is formatted for Apple. Should be Mac OS extended. If you reformat, first remove all of your data on the external drive to another drive, because reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
Update all of your iLife programs to current, particularly Quicktime.
Finally, make sure that you have enough free disk space on your startup drive--at least 10GB, and more is better.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and photos. Purchased a new phone and went to download phtotos on new phone and only a portion of my photos are back on my new phone. How do I find all my photos and get them on my new phone

I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

Aperture 3.4.5 displays only a portion of some photos

Since I updated to Aperture 3.4.5, I see only a portion of some photos after I double click them in the library in Aperture. The same partial view now shows up in iPhoto as well. For a nanosecond, I see the full image as it is enlarging, but when it opens the image fully, it shows only a corner. It is possible that these are only photos that I edited in a previous version of iPhoto, before I was using Aperture.
Anyone else seen this? Any solutions? Thanks!

Thanks Kirby for the suggestions. I deleted preferences, and that did not change this behavior. In Aperture, I repaired the library, and that did not help either. In Aperture, I also repaired permissions, and that also did not help.
I tried to determine what might distinguish the photos where this was happening, but haven't found the key yet. They seem to be all photos that are labeled in Aperture as "iPhoto externally edited image," but not all the photos marked that way have this problem. It is possible that the problem is confined to images from my old Canon 20D, that show up in Aperture labeled as "iPhoto externally edited image."
I have confirmed that the entire image is there in each case. If I open the library in iPhoto, I see the partial images, but then if I move through the affected photos with the arrow keys, I will see the entire image. Otherwise, I always only see a small corner of the image at full size, in both iPhoto and Aperture. It appears to be a thumbnail issue in Aperture. May related to using my iPhoto library as my Aperture library?
I'm stumped.

Working only with selected media clips

I have a clip selected in the FCP timeline. I "send to" SP but when I open the waveform monitor it shows not only the my selected clip (as indicated by an extended marker horizontal bar) but also the entire media clip -- about an hour. When I start applying noise reduction, etc., it seems as if it's applying this to the entire media clip rather than just the selected portion.
Is there a way to reference only the selected media clip and not the entire audio file.
I only want to edit for the duration of that clip.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

With the GTK_* variables unset I have got exactly the same experience
