Why are edit (Cut/Copy/Paste) controls not active?

I am new to QT. I am trying to cut up a large mpeg file (created by converting and IFO file from a DVD) into small video clips. However the main editing controls (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, delete and trim to selection) are all de-activated. I don't have this problem with other mpeg files.
Any ideas why?

MPEG-1 and 2 are playback formats and can't be edited using QuickTime Pro. It can't extract or export the audio portion from these muxed track formats.
MPEG Streamclip (Free) can convert MPEG to QuickTime formats and can also do basic editing.
You'll need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20) and the software above to convert DVD (MPEG-2 format).
The component can't convert or open CSS encrypted (Hollywood) DVD's.

    Okay, I just your other posts. For future reference it's a bad idea to keep starting new threads on the same problem.
    When you upgrade OS X it is absolutely essential to delete the PSE preferences. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Settings
    That library is hidden now. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. Since you have tried to run PSE in 10.10, while you're in there you will also need to go to the Saved Application State folder (at the same level as the Preferences folder) and delete anything in there for PSE.

  • How do I reinstall the edit button on my Firefox 4 toolbar; cut, copy, paste, and print?

    I recently have been having problems with my Firefox 4 tool bars. Right now, the Edit icons are no longer on the tool bar, specifically Cut, Copy, Paste, and Print. If there were other Edit icons, they too are gone. All the other icons have remained.
    I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to reinstall those specific icons.
    Also recently, ALL my tool bars, and task and status bar disappeared. This was only in Firefox 4.0; IE 8 was not affected. Clicking F11 did not work. I could not function without them. Then, a short time later, they "automatically" reappeared. I have not idea of why the disappeared or reappeared.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut buttons next to Firefox > Edit (and in its sub menu) and in the regular Edit menu on the menu bar (press F10 if the menu bar is hidden).
    The buttons next to Firefox > Edit are enabled if there is something to do with them, just like with the toolbar buttons.
    You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut toolbar buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window and drag them on a toolbar.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • Right click shows (cut, copy,paste) but does not work. Did in IE

    I can not copy from Firefox and paste to Word like I did in IE. It will just paste whatever I had copied from Word before the browsing session. There is an add in on Word for "Person Name (Outlook email recipients)", but I don't know what that means if anything about this.

    Also,under "edit", "cut,copy, delete" are not available but "paste" is.

  • JList & cut/copy/paste and focus

    I have a JFrame with a typical edit menu (cut/copy/paste) and also a JList. I have hooked up the menus such that cut copy paste 'do the right thing' in regards to the current selection of the JList. However, if the JList has focus and i keyboard ctrl-x for instance, it looks like the JList is grabbing and handling the cut, as opposed to my menu code. How do I get the JList to ignore the keyboard when it has focus, or do I install my handlers in the JList somehow?

    Thanks for the response. This area really smells to me. Which I infer means i don't really understand this area, otherwise it wouldn't be so wretched.
    For instance the default cut action on a JList, doesn't seem to do anything, while the copy works correctly.
    So why would you ever use the default actions? I guess i can install my menu actions in the JList, just seems badly designed... so am i wrong?
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.table.*;
    public class MyJListFrame extends JFrame
         public static void main(String[] args)
              MyJListFrame f = new MyJListFrame();
              f.setVisible(true);
         public MyJListFrame()
              Container cp = getContentPane();
              DefaultListModel dtm = new DefaultListModel()
              {{addElement("This");addElement("is");addElement("a");addElement("test");}};
              cp.add( new JList( dtm ));
              pack();
    }

  • Undo/Redo for Cut, Copy, Paste

    I am trying to implement Undo/Redo for Cut,Copy,Paste in a Treetable.
    I have to support undo/redo for multiple nodes being cut/copied. I am not sure how I should be going about implementing this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the class you are using doesn't support cut, copy, and paste already, usually what you do is store a list of actions in two lists. One for actions done, the other for redos (when there is an undo). Capture the data before and after each operation (you can create a KeyListener to listen for the events) and store that in a list. When undo is called, the last element on the list should be undone, either by taking it out of the list and reiterating through the elements still there, or implementing an undo method in the object you are trying to change. Then put that element on the redo list in case that is called. This works well with graphics and stuff, but I never tried to implement it in a tree with nodes and stuff, so that's about the most I can help with right now. I hope it helps some!

  • SQL DEVELOPER cut and paste does not work, slow and cannot work fast.

    I have lots of difficulties using SQL Developer, the cut/paste does not work properly, when I type search in he code editor it just paste or type the test in the source code not in the serach box. Very hectic I'm pallning to swicth to TOAD until they a a good version.

    Hello Aukhez,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with SQLDeveloper - personally, I've never had any problems with cut/copy/paste and searching, and I've been using SQLDeveloper from v1.0 to the current version, on practically every version of the JDK from 1.5-1.6u16 on both Windows and Linux.
    Sorry to state the obvious, but perhaps if you could provide a bit more specific information - such as platform, version, etc - and details of what you tried to do, someone here might be able to help...? Regarding speed, there are quite a few things you can do to make this better, but again, without knowing your setup, it's hard to give you proper directions. Plus, you'll find numerous threads here and on google about what you can do to improve speed.
    Regards,

    Hi dhhyde,
    If you are having issues with your cutting, copying and pasting items from your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPad -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

  • Image selection,cut,copy,paste

    Hi,
    I need to select a portion of the graphics thats been drawn on a panel,
    cut this image,copy and paste it on any part of the panel. I have tried using clipRect but am not sure whether this will work.
    Please help me doing the cut,copy,paste of these images. It would be nice to have a sample code.

    Since your question is to learn and understand how Illustrator works, I would answer it with no. Unlike other programs, Illustrator can't cut parts of raster images because it is mostly vector graphics editing program. It is possible to end up with a rectangular shape of a cut raster images using the method Jacob described but technically behind the scenes it is not cutting the raster image as other raster programs like Photoshop do but it is generating a new image from the old one by a capability in Illustrator called rasterizing. Illustrator can rasterize (regenerate a new raster image) from any selection of objects - vector, raster, and both at a specified resolution using commands like Rasterize and Flatten Transparency. You can think of it as automating the process of exporting to a raster file format and placing it back in Illustrator.
    For that reason, I would recommend to cut raster images in other programs like Photoshop and place them in the desired size in Illustrator or use clipping paths and Opacity masks to hide unwanted parts  when this is preferable for flexibility or if you find it faster and less hassle than cutting the placed image outside of Illustrator.

  • QuickPro (that I just bought!) won't let me edit - cut, copy etc!!! HELP

    I just bought quicktime pro to be able to edit the movies from my digital photo camera. After registering for QuickTime Pro the program now lets me select other "Pro" options, but not edit, cut, copy etc... which were what I really needed from the program. I have read through the help sections, followed all the direction, and still nothing! These commands remain in gray and won't work when I use the shortcut keys.
    Thanks for your help.

    The most likely reason is that you are attempting to edit/export muxed mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files, which QT does not support: QT Mpeg Limitations
    You can use this freeware to do limited editing (to cut out portions, for example) without requiring you to re-encode them. It works with mpeg-1 by itself but requires you to purchase the Apple mpeg2playbackcomponent to work with mpeg-2 files or vobs. It also will allow you to export these formats to other formats, such DV stream, for work in iMovie or to make DVDs with iDVD.

  • The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

    My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
    I think the hardware has failed.
    Note the mousepd is not the issue.  The right button is the problem
    Left button works fine

    Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
    HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
    If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
    Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
    Good luck.

  • Cut and Paste will not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite/Satellite Pro C50-A series laptop I bought new in December 2013. It has Windows 8 on it. I did the upgrade to windows 8.1 almost immediatley so I cannot remember if my control c / control v, cut and paste worked in 8 or not. But it will NOT work in 8.1 for most of my programs. I desperately need it to work on my All My Movies database software from Bolide software and my Green Eclipse sticky notes. And cut and paste will NOT work AT ALL for those programs. It works sometimes for my email and my Apache Open Office word processor.
    I have contaced microsoft who's tech did something Tuesday morning to get it working. But then I booted down my computer and went to bed and when I booted it up, yep, no more cut and paste ability again! So I tried contacting microsoft this morning around 2:30am and they said it was an OEM problem and to contact Toshiba.
    I have even run a sfc /scannow twice and get the same error message:
    sfc /scannow      ran 1/22  1:30am
    results: windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    for ex c:\windows\Logs\CBS/CBS.log
    note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios
    The above error message I WAS ABLE to cut and paste FROM my green eclipse sticky note to this forum! But when I tried to cut and paste this message back to a NEW sticky note......NOTHING!
    I hope someone here can provide a permanent solution to fix this! It may seem minor but I do a LOT of cut/pasting!
    frustrated!!!!

    There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
    Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
    What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
    Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
    Do you use Bluetooth?
    Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
       How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
    Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
    Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
       1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
       2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
       3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
       4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

  • Editor - Cut, Copy & Paste styles

    Using the package from http://www.calcom.de/eng/dev/cctxt.htm but it doesn't seem to work with cut, copy & paste styles
    Still the cut, copy & paste styles should still work but not quite sure if its my IntroductionDocument class causing the problem or those methods. Attach is my working editor to download from:
    http://home.pacific.net.au/~akhalil/editor/editor.zip
    The problems is:
    * When I cut text with bold and plain, the whole paragraph goes bold?
    The bold text Introduction is the first word of the document but still
    it shouldn't effect the whole paragraph.
    * When I paste, loose the bold styles but get the remanining plain text fonts instead.
    If you could help me out, I would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
