Video in the Timeline

Anyone know if there is way to get avideo to strech out acros the timeline (the way audio does), so that I can add animation effects to my video presentation? And if not, what can you recommend that does do that?

You should be able to import a video directly intro the timeline. Try following thru: File -> Import -> Import Video...(choose file) ...-> Embed video in swf and play in timeline

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Why can´t I pass videos to the timeline?

I was working fine, and suddenly I couldn´t pass my videos to the timeline, when I try to do it there´s a hand and a circle like indicating it is blocked or something. Why is this? How can I put it off?

Hey! Hang on... I was wrong about the Gspot settings being exactly the same. My newly captured video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (800MB file size) also says "File Length Correct". My video originally captured in Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 (it says 500MB file size, but it's actually 8.9GB) says:
"Corrupt AVI Header:
This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely to playable (I'm not the one who typed this sentence all screwy and without end punctuation)
Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 1069461800 at file offset 0x0000fc94"
Just to check if the other camcorder tape that I transferred in had the same problem, I checked my other video file with a supposedly 1,820MB file size, though it's actually 10.2GB, and that file says "File Length Correct".
So it looks like this is not a file corruption issue with upgrading from Adobe Premiere Element 3.0 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but possibly a corrupt file. However, it works fine now and I haven't come across any video problem yet.
This also doesn't explain the bass boost problem, but I am going to focus on that now.
Thanks everyone for your input, and thank you Steve about the Gspot tip!

Flash Pro, How can preview sound with the vidio on embedded video on the timeline

I am using a windows 7 based machine Flash Pro CC. I embedded the video on the timeline, basically a person talking.

After Import AVCHD from Sony CX730, IMPOSSIBLE to put the video on the Timeline!!!!!

I have bought Premiere three days ago. I am working on a AVCHD project, with clips from a Sony FS700 (1080 50p), and clips from a Sony CX730 (1080 25p). I can import the clips but for the CX730 clips it is impossible to put them on the timeline!!!!!
I can put the audio (5-1) on audio 4, but impossible to put the video... Everybody told me that Premiere support all the codec on the same project... It is not true!!!
Why????

Yes! you are right, every thing work well now!! Thanks a lot!
With my best regards.

When i'm editing my video in the timeline it looks perfect, but when i save the video and replay it on quicktime it has these weird lines? does anyone know how to fix that?

when i'm editing my video in the timeline it looks perfect, but when i save the video and replay it on quicktime it has these weird lines? does anyone know how to fix that?

As Tom states, that's interlacing.
Interlacing was invented when the TV was born, to carry 1/5 the frame with each Hz of the electricity rating. In the US, that's why you use 30 fps (or 29.nnn) in the US and we use 25 fps in europe as the electricity is 60Hz/50Hz.
Interlaced video should ONLY (I repeat ONLY) be used for analog TV signal transports.
Each and every digital TV set today, including all the computer screens, is Progressive, updating the full frame at each screen refresh. And most TV's even refresh much quicker, newest TV's refresh a 800Hz..! (giving then problems with the newest LTE spectums..)
If your source media in interlaced, ask why! And stop shooting interlaced.. ;-)
If you have interlaced video, make sure you apply the DeInterlace setting when you import and transcode it.

How to add live action video to the timeline in Adobe Flash CS5?

Hi, I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.
I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame
Thanks.

So are you saying that you cannot embed the video directly into the main timeline (I don't use CS5) as you could with earlier versions?
Overall I wonder if you are using the wrong tool for the job. Flash is not a video editor and attempts to use it as such often fall short. Adobe After Effects or even a simple video editor may work better:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html
If that is not an option... how about
.... embed video directly into main timeline... or
... convert video file to .swf, then import .swf... extending timeline as needed..... or
... if vid is short, do frame grab for each frame, save as bitmap, import the series of bitmaps, place them on layer below animation... or
but to keep the video synced to the animation, you'll need to set the Flash doc frame rate to exactly the same as the original framerate of the video. For example, if shot in mini-dv format, the frame rate of the video is 29.97 so the Flash doc frame rate would need to be 29.97 also.
Best of luck,

Dragging video to the Timeline or Canvas from the Viewer

After placing In and Out points in the Viewer, I'm just curious if there is any real benefit to dragging the resulting video to either the Canvas or the Timeline? Is it just a matter of preference? Is one way a better way than the other to get into the habit of doing?
Thanks.

You have control over the track your putting it on if you drag to the timeline. You can also drag it to anyplace in the timeline where if you drag it to the canvas without any in or out point marked in the timeline, it will edit at the playhead. There are probably other differences, but that's what I can think of at the moment.

Viewing videos on the timeline

How can I view two videos at the same time, that I am editing on timeline. Am, color grading a clip, but I want to view the previous one I graded at the same time, to ensure that they match.

Note to myself:
35+ years later...I must get around to "school and a proper education".
Actually...its not bad advice but far too late for me.
I now learn stuff as I need to know it.

Working with two videos in the timeline

So, I just picked up FCE, have been wanting it for a while and thought this would be a good opportunity. I recently shot a wedding for a friend. I used two cameras for the ceremony, one in the back and one in the front.
Now I would like to line up the two videos and transition back and forth between the two. Is this easily doable? It's a bear to get them synced, do i have to redo that every time I switch?
Thanks for the help!

1. Place the video from the camera you'll use the most shots from on track V1.
2. Place the video from the other camera on track V2.
3. Double-click the video clip on V2 to load it into the Viewer window.
4. Click on the Motion tab.
5. Scale to about 45 or 50%.
6. Use the Center control to position the clip in one corner - you should now have a picture-in-picture effect.
7. Find a common point to sync the two clips in the Timeline. A photographer's flash is usually a good point. Place a clip marker in each clip at the sync point you've chosen.
8. Drag one clip so the two clip markers line up. It may help to zoom in on the Timeline to make sure they're lined up perfectly.
9. Once you have the two clips in sync, cut out the parts of the upper clip that you don't want to use.
10. When you're finished with the cutting, select all clips remaining on V2, right-click on one and select Remove Attributes->Basic Motion. All clips on V2 should now be full scale and centered.
11. While all clips on V2 are selected, drag them to track V1 while holding the Shift key.
12. Add transitions as needed.

Why is DVD SP4 creating a corrupt video in the timeline when the corruption does not appear in the imported Quicktime ProRes 422 self contained movie?

I am having a strange issue that just occurred when trying to create a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4. The workflow is as follows: Import a self contained Quicktime ProRes 422 as an asset into DVDSP 4. Drag the assets onto Track 1 in the Graphical viewer as a First Play item. The video is only corrupted in a section of the timeline, yet when you look at that section in Quicktime the video appears to be ok. Does anyone have an idea why this is happenning?

Thanks for the quick reply Gary. I was wondering why this corruption happenned recently, when I have used this workflow previously without any artifacts for several years. Do you think that something has gotten corrupted in DVDSP?
Do you also recommend using Compressor always to created the files for DVDSP vs. having DVDSP do the encoding?
Thanks

When I put a video in the timeline it's widescreen?

I just got this program for Christmas.. I've used something like this before but I'm a bit confused.
When I drag a clip into the timeline and go to watch it:
1- It doesn't play smoothly... it jumps from one scene to a different one.
2- it doesn't go in the screen to a full view?.. It goes in there as if it's wide screen... Is it supposed to do that?
Help me pleasseee

Thank you!
I'm going to go check it out right now.

How can I move video down the timeline?

New user here. Please can anyone help. When you import a picture into Soundtrack, why does it always automatically go to the first frame of your project title. For example, if I want the picture to be at 10 00 00 00, I will put this in the project title import the picture and away we go. However, I would like the opportunity to put a plop 48 frames before the picture. I thought it would be a simple process to drag and drop the picture as you do audio but it appears not to be the case. I have looked everywhere for a solution but to no avail. I should point out, that I am using ST Pro as a stand alone audio device, that is, not alongside Final Cut. I also work in an audio post production studio and am evaluating the possibility of using ST Pro as part of our tools. With this picture restriction, though, it is looking unlikely. Anyone's help and advice on this would be much appreciated. I am aware ST Pro is audio editing only. I use it for that purpose. However, it is an audio to picture tool. For example, in my game, I put audio to tv commercials. Thus, I need the picture to put audio against. I know I can import the picture. My simple question is why, when you import the picture, does it always go to the start of your timeline. So, if I put my start time at 10 00 00 00, I am unable to put anything before that marker. So if I want to put any audio before the picture, whether it be a plop or tone, I can't. I simply want to drag the picture to another time point that will allow to have some potential audio time before the picture. If any of you try to import a picture in a new title, you will see what I mean. If you don't set a timecode, it will put the picture at point zero on the time line and not allow you to bring the cursor before that. If you set a time at 10 00 00 00, again it will not allow you to move the cursor to a point before that point. If Apple were serious about going into the post pro market they should ensure that this works as a stand alone system. I was speaking to them the other day and mentioned this. As I say, it really does seem peculiar that you are unable to perform such a simple exercise.

Hi laser558, everything you say is true. I continue to [maintain|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1385395&tstart=150] that STP is mainly a tool for video editors to work with sound in a better way than they are able to in FCP, and not a mainline tool for audio professionals. Some people may disagree with that, and if they can get the job done that's great, but the more I work with it the more I feel this way. That's not to say the program doesn't have tremendous possibilities, and that eventually STP may become a really useful program for you, but regrettably I don't recommend it for everyone you at this time.
The only way to deal with your dilemna in STP is to edit the movie (say in QTPro) before you import it.
