Ways to apply filters to multiclips?

Hullo, I'm hoping someone here will take mercy on me. I'm just an audio engineer (in other words, handicapped!) wandering in video-land, a bit lost in FCP5.1. What I'm seeking is to be able to apply some filters to some master clips, disable them, create a multiclip from the master clips, do all the cutting, fades, etc, then turn the filtering back on with a single command. Is this bonkers, or am I? Uh, I mean, is this bonkers?
I'm working on a 3 angle DV project, where 1 camera needs color correction and another is way too dark. I've found settings in the RGB filter for #1 and with the HSL filter for #2. So far, so good.
I found that I can apply a filter to a clip globally (in the browser), great! But now, when working on the files, everything slows down quite a bit. Drat. So, I've been doing all the editing, fades, etc and then dragging the filter icon onto each piece of each clip in the timeline. It's a pain in the tukus!
I'd be grateful if anyone here would offer some thoughts on this!
Kind Regards, Scott

add the filter to the master clip. adjust as needed. drag the filter into your favorites folder and rename it "angle A color correction" or something you will remember later.
do this with your other clips/filters.
remove the filters from your master clips and do your edit without the filters on the individual clips.
with your edit complete, do a Find for the name of the first clip and find all. drag your filters to the clips all at once.
now do a find all for the next clip and drag the filters to that one.
and so on.

Applying filters to multiclips

Hello,
I am trying to apply a filter to a lot of footage, including multi-cam footage. It seems that whenever I apply a filter to a multiclip, it dissapears if I switch angles and back again... What is the best way to apply a global filter to a clip, so that the filter is applied not only in the master clip, but also every time it appears in a sequence, and everytime it appears as a multi-clip?

I'm not sure what you mean by button list... could
you clarify?
Tools > Button List > multiclip. Or option + j
also, is there a way to color correct a master clip
and have that correction applied to whenever that
clip appears in a sequence? If it appears in 15 or 20
sequnces this would be a lot easier than copying and
pasting the filter whenever the clip appears.
I've found the easiest way to do this is the do a Find in the timeline. If you have named your clip properly you can Find All of a particular clip. The find command will select all and you can drag a saved effect to them all at once.

No way to apply filters/color from one clip to another?

What am I missing? I don't see any way to take the color/filter settings from one clip and lift/stamp them onto another clip.

highlight the clip that you have adjusted. Right click and choose copy. Then highlight all the other clips you want to add the filter to. Right click and choose Paste attributes. A window will open asking which attributes to paste. Choose filters.
Good Luck!

Prority applying filters in Develope module

LR is one of the best tools for those who wnat quick ranking, metadata editing for copyright, sorting and processing LARGE quantities of files...
Among those photographers wedding, event and sport shooters are those who really need to fastly sort thigns outm they are most interested in using LR.
also, the same photographers work in the most critical lightning environments, very often we shoot in very bad lightning at very high ISO settings.
for us noise is a real pain.
as we all know, advanced processing of a very noisy raw material exponentially increase noise levels in the final product.
for this reason, inside PS, our workflow include NR filters among the first operations we do...
this way, working on a cleaner background, the noise is kept under a relative control.
often, at the end of our workflow we again trim the nise as a final touch...
back to lightroom, few questons and requests are born from this imediate reality we confront each day:
1. LR offers NO control regarding order develope adjustments are applied... this is sometimes good, other times a real pain...
2. there is no information regarding WHICH is the order those filtes are applied when developing RAW files... NONE.
we could guess the order they appear in XML files and inside develope module is the order they are considered when RAW information is processed?
that mean noise is indeed among the last filters applied, correct me if i am wrong.
3. how we could maximize our results? just make minimum adjustments in LR, go to PS, where we can control the order of applying filters, process and export from there???
not exactly compatible with our need for speed and easy processing large quantities of files that make us choose LR, isn't it?
not to mention RAW data offers much more "hidden" info we can bring to life thru processing compared to exported PS files, even 16 bit tiffs are not as "good" on this regard...this is the reason we shoot raw, to benefit from this better latitude of information raw's offers ....
4. now the requests themselves:
a} please allow us to choosethe order of applying these filters...maybe not all, not all are that critical, but things like NR we should be able to put among the first filters applied.
if Adobe already thought about this and NR is among the first on that list, please let us know. we NEED to know , we need that info, we need control.
b} please allow us to double the filter alteration.
as i said, we often apply a NR fiter at the beggining of the workflow and then again, another NR with softer settings at the end of the workflow, sometimes just before the final sharpening.
such flexibility and customization availability would really help us, especially those who really need lightroom and do not have the time to bring every picture in PS and tweak it...
imagine shooting 1000 pictures in one session with a delivery deadline of 24 hours...LR is great help, have a lot of great features and we really apreciate the wayit works, even this elastic way of applying filters inside develope module...
BUT it would be a much better tool with more flexibility available.
Thanks Adobe, i also compelted an official request form regarding this subject.
maybe someone who really knows how things work inside developing engine could bring some light in this regard, how things really work right now,even this info could be very helpfull.
regards ,Liviu

first i need to KNOW officially how thigns work, if ucan offer me a proof i'd gladly accept that.
second, as i said, adobe might have think about that, is a request area and i have theright to request what I think is usefull to me.
i ask for more CONTROL, what is wrong about that?
i also request for 2 alteration using the same filter, NR in this case, once at the beggining and one at the eng of the developing process, i am also entitled to ask for such a thing, right?
qith all due respect, if u do not have similar needs please allow me to ask , understand and not suppose adobe thought of everything and there is no better way, ok?
here is a quote from a XMP file, i PRESUME the order if operation inside that file is the one processes are piped, am i wrong again?

so ,as u see i spaced the noise reduction fucntions in order to make them more visible, i can;t use colors to underline what i consider important, ok?
SO, as u can see here, WB, exposure, contrast, SHARPNESS, brightness, SHADDOWS are ALL listed BEFORE noise reduction...
later on the end of the list there is ANOTHER sharpening listed, so double fiter IS ALREADY applied, thus possible, right???
again, ALL fiters applied BEFORE NR influences noise levels, all increse noise, more or less....
WB influences exposure, try to go 50000 and see where hystogram goes to the right...
exposure also increase noise in shaddow areas.
contrast increse noise.
brightness also influence noise.
Shaddows are working exactly on most noisiest levels, the shades...
sharpness before NR??? indeed, is "well thought"...
so, Lee jay, seems i am not that wrong after all, isn't it???
i really hope that order inside XMP to mean nothing but i really doubt is meaningless ...
and again, even if a were wrong, i am entitled to ask explanations as i pay for this product. I also am entitled to ask for what i consider improvements, if Adobe decide to implement or not is another discussion...
a little "friendlier" tone in your replies would also be apreciated, thank you in advance. i hope u do not work for Adobe ;)
so, i am waiting for documented proofs related to my questions, thank you Adobe.

ConcurrentModificationException while applying filters in BPM workspace

Hi,
We have a Oracle BPM 10g 10.3.3. for weblogic environment. Getting this below error whenever I apply filters in workspace. The work items does not get refreshed either. However when I do a refresh in the browser('F5') the filters are getting applied and the work items are coming up filtere? Is there any way to get rid of this error? Is this a bug in the weblogic server?

Best practice - applying Filters

What's the best practice in terms of performance versus code reuse, when applying filters?
Right now, I see 3 ways to specify a filter:
1. as a <mx:filter> or <s:filter>
2. in actionscript:
var glowFilter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
--OR--
3. in SVG:
<s:rect>
<s:filters>
<s:DropShadowFilter blurX="20" blurY="20" alpha="0.32" distance="11" angle="90" knockout="true" />
</s:filters>
</s:rect>
What's the best way to apply this, in terms of performance? Thanks.

Fredrik,
Though similar to your workflow, here is how I would do it.
Import those "raw" Clips into a Project, and do my Trimming in that Project, relying on the Source Monitor to establish the In & Out Points for each, and also using different Instances of any longer "master Clip.". I would also do my CC (Color Correction), and all density (Levels, etc.) Effects here. Do not Trim too closely, as you will want to make sure that you have adequate Handles to work with later on.
Use the WAB (Work Area Bar) to Export the material that I needed in "chunks," using either Lagarith Lossless CODEC, or UT Lossless CODEC *
Import my music into a new Project and listen over and over, making notes on what visuals (those Exported/Shared Clips from above) I have at my disposal. At this point, I would also be making notes as to some of the Effects that I felt went with the music, based on my knowledge of the available visuals.
Import my Exported/Shared, color graded Clips.
Assemble those Clips, and Trim even more.
Watch and listen carefully, going back to my notes.
Apply any additional Effects now.
Watch and listen carefully.
Tighten any edits, adjust any applied Effects, and perhaps add (or remove existing) more Effects.
Watch and listen carefully.
Output an "approval" AV for the band/client.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Output "final approval" AV.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Export/Share, to desired delivery formats.
Invoice the client.
Cash check.
Declare "wine-thirty."
This is very similar to your proposed workflow.
Good luck,
Hunt
* I have used Lagarith Lossless CODEC with my PrE 4.0, but have not tried UT. Both work fine in PrPro, so I assume that UT Lossless will work in PrE too. These CODEC's are fairly quick in processing/Exporting, and offer the benefit of smaller files, than Uncompressed AVI. They are visually lossless. The resultant files will NOT be tiny, so one would still need a good amount of HDD space. Neither CODEC introduces any artifacts, or color degredation.

Applying filters to specific region within frame

Hi all,
Forgive me if this is an obvious thing, but I'm trying to learn FCP quickly coming from Adobe Premiere. How do I select a specific area of a clip and then apply a filter to either that area, or everything else? For example, let's say I select an area using colour correction. Obviously if I invert the selection then, say, use the saturation slider I can pick out one colour and make everything else b&w, but what about if I wanted to use that region to, say, apply a blur filter to it? And also, is there a tool which allows me to select a regular region (say an oval) to do the same?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks Shane- I thought about doing it that way. Can you dynamically mask out everything but one colour in this way? In the PC setup we are getting rid of at work we use a bit of realtime hardware from Canopus (Raptor RT card) which enables region selection in a wide variety of ways. You can then apply filters inside the selection or outside, or both, and these can be different filters. That's the sort of thing I'm trying to work out.

Applying filters to patterns or gradients.

I am an intermediate to moderatley advanced user of CS5 but can anyone tell me of a way to apply a filter such as blur or liquify to a pre-existing pattern or gradient (overlay) please? Can a pattern or gradient be put on it's own editable layer for instance? Have tried a few ways so far but without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

davealexuk wrote:

Try the following:
Create a new blank layer
Click on Edit > Fill > Use Pattern (select you pattern)
Click on Filter > Blur > gaussain blur (to blur your pattern)
The layer with the pattern can be edited or filtered as needed. Other ways of working with patterns exist as well.

Can't Apply Filters to an Animation in CS4

I just created a 144 frame animation on CS4, and, horror of horrors, when I went back after the fact to start applying filters (brushstrokes and gaussian blur in particular, though none are working) to my frames, all of the filters were grayed out. Is there a way to fix this issue, or will I have to do all of my frames over again?
Thanks!
Abbey

ugh - made such a mess - shot orchids on black background with texture but couldn't get the selection right so though I would have a clipping path made and then turn that into selection. but then I had to make changes to the orchid so the path wasn't quite right.
at any rate I'm back to the original - have made the corrections to the flowers and am now trying to refine the selection so I don't have a black line around the orchids when I use a layer to lighten the background, but also don't loose the stem which is dark and hard to select. - sorry for the confusion.

Can't Apply Filters

Did search, of course. New one for me. FCP 6.0.2. Working on a project, that I had started yesterday, mostly color correction. Opened, and the filters won't apply to anything new. The filters that were there, on this and other projects can be manipulated, but I can't apply filters to this or any other project. It's like the filters aren't even there. This includes original, as well as non-Apple(Nattress, etc). Tried trashing preferences, and restarting, etc. Nothing. Tried recapturing footage, and starting completely new. Before re-installing, I thought of checking for a suggestion.

I ended up re-installing, and now it's fine. I was clicking on the clip in the timeline(As always). I even tried dragging from the effects bin in the browser, the way some still do, to the timeline, and nothing. There must have been a bug, I wish I knew. Definitely like to know why things happen. For the record, if it comes to me, what happened, will post.

Best way to apply same effect to multiple clips?

I have a bunch of short clips in the timeline. I want them all to end with a "fade to black" and I want the audio to fade to 0 db. I know how to do this by applying the "fade to black" and then applying 1/2 a crossfade 0db. Is there a way to apply these two effects to several clips at once? How do I apply the audio and video effects together to a single clip with one move?

create the effect using the opacity and volume overlays on one clip in the timeline, then right-click and copy. Select (ie highlight) the other clips you want, right-click any of them and choose 'paste attributes'. From the pop up you'll want to check the relevant options, opacity and audio levels, and that's it.

Is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder

is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder? We have many camera clips needing luts applied then wrapped to ProRes422 for editing. right now we are using after effects, rendering out then wrapping in Encoder, but this workflow is quite time consuming.We've tried rendering proRes out of AE but the boss isn't happy with the results without also going through Encoder.

No, there is not a way to apply color changes (e.g., using LUTs) in Adobe Media Encoder. Do this in After Effects, but just add your After Effects compositions directly to the Adobe Media Encoder encoding queue (e.g., by choosing File > Add After Effects Composition in the AME UI).

Is there a way to apply LUT's to a photo in Lightroom? Such as .cube, Vision Color, etc.

Is there a way to apply LUT's to a photo in Lightroom? Such as .cube, Vision Color, etc. I have some film stock and Osiris LUTs I like to use for video that I'd love to apply to RAW still photos in Lightroom. I know it's possible in Photoshop CC but the process would save me time if it's possible to easily do in Lightroom 5. Anyone know?

Unfortunately, you can't do it in LR. You could add your vote and opinion to this topic in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Ability to use 3D LUTs.

Is there a way to apply a master page to even (or odd) pages in a long document?

I'm taking a very simple, large pdf document and bringing it into InDesign to add some graphics. The pdf is actually a customized 2-page document for a large employee group (i.e. pages 1 and 2 are for employee001, pages 3 and 4 are for employee002, pages 5 and 6 are for employee003, etc.).
I've found a script that allows me to bring in all the pages of the pdf at one time, provided I've set up the correct number of blank pages in InDesign. What I'm looking for now is a way to apply a master page to all even numbered pages at one time. Or all odd pages. Anyone have any ideas?
Ideally, an option that would import the entire pdf document, add the appropriate number of pages to the InDesign document, and be able to assign different master pages to even and odd pages would rock! Help!

Enchancement Request: IR arrow button in Search Filter uses applied Filters

Hello,
I'd like to request an Enhancement.
I'd like the IR arrow button in IR Search Filter, when performs the DISTINCT to provide choices in list for the user to select, that would take into consideration any other Filters that have already been applied to the IR Report in.
Currently it seems that it ignores any of these already applied filters and provides the DISTINCT list of the default report settings row set.
Referencing thread:
How to display values in arrow in Filter in IR for joined table columns ?
TIA
Dionyssis

Ah ha! I figured out a solution. It took one of those "ah ha" moments to do it.
Peter.... thanx for the suggestion, but I am using the built-in Interactive Report settings to hide the Actions button and other things. I am also attempting to hide the section on the page which displays the current filtering, control breaks, etc. that are applied to the report. This is because the page is a public page and needs to be as simple as possible and I do not want the end users to have the ability to turn pre-built filtering and control breaks on and off. The problem is that the user-entered filtering is displayed in the same place as the pre-built filtering and I want to display the former, but not the latter.
I created a display-only item on the page containing the text that should show when the user has entered some search criteria in the search box. I then created a dynamic action which is triggered by the refresh of the interactive report and runs some javascript which first checks if there is "custom search criteria" applied and then hides or shows the display item accordingly. My javascript code is below for those interested.
if ( $('#apexir_CONTROL_PANEL_COMPLETE .fielddata:contains("Row text contains")').text() )
{ $x_Show('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') } else { $x_Hide ('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') }Shane.
