Why can't merged clips be exported to XML?

I merged my files from a double system shoot (with a Red camera and separate audio) - only to find that you can't then color correct outside of Premiere. I will grant I should have read the bottom of the merged file page which clearly states that you can't export an XML file with merged files but WHY?????????????? How do merged files benefit you if in the end you can't export to DaVinci for color correction? And from what I have found there are no work arounds. I tried to replace with original source video but the timecode of the merged file no longer matches that of the original source audio so I can't without resyncing and re-editing the whole thing - and our sound mixer has already done a significant amount of work on an OMF of the current project. And of course once I import that OMF and sync it to the video - I can't change the video because then I could have significant issues with the audio. I currently work in CS5.5 and would happily pay for an upgrade to Cloud if it solved this problem but from everything I have read it does not... it seems like a huge issue. I would rather not have the merged files function than have it lead me astray in this fashion.
If anyone has found a solution let me know. Otherwise I was going to have the original source files color corrected by our colorist and link those to the project (luckily there aren't really internal clip issues and it's a short so it's only 28 clips total)?
Any solutions greatly appreciated
===============================
Title changed by moderator to make it descriptive of the issue/question--but mostly eliminate the all-caps. Shouting doesn't help

Ah yes -- well very holistic approach I suppose... but considering my question "how to export a project with merged clips to an XML file?" - this doesn't actually answer that question. It is a work around. But one that requires me to find and hire another colorist (and let's be honest a large portion of the post-production community works with Resolve) and I don't think I am being unreasonable for expecting Adobe to have considered the possibility of this work flow (editing a project in Premiere and then moving to a commonly used platform such as Davinci Resolve to color correct). Or yes I could learn SpeedGrade but if I had the time to color correct the project myself we wouldn't be hiring someone else to get the project completed in a timely manner... so yeah it's a work around that doesn't really work. I am hoping having the original source video color corrected will make it all work - and I will NEVER used the Merged Clip feature in Premiere ever again. And wish there was some way for me to warn others against falling victim to its charms as well.

Can you merge clips together?

I used a green screen and chroma keyer and and all of that stuff to put an object onto another background. In the timeline the object clip is above the background clip obviously, but i want to know if i can merge those to clips so it is all just one. I know this isn't a tutorial place but i can't find the answer anywhere else online.
Thanks,
Nate

Not technically, no, but you can "nest" sequences, which essentially does the same thing. Drop the clips into a new sequence, then in the browser, drag that sequence into your first sequence just as you would a clip.

Why can't some clips fast forward?

I am on my first ever imovie project for school. I need to fast forward some of the clips so that my video can fit into the stipulated duration. Some clips can fast forward whitest others can't. Those that can't fast forward can however respond to slow motion. What is the reason and how can the problem be solved?

I am unable to adjust playback speed as well. The options for modifying 2x, 4x, 8x, and 20x are not highlighted to click on. The fast foward section under modify is highlighted.

Why can't I render or export media all of a sudden in Premier Pro CS5?

I just had my computer serviced and now when I try to export media in Premier Pro CS5 I get an error "encoding failed: unk
nown error" and I cannot render either. There are other problems with my other Adobe programs too such as in Encore when I try to build my DVD I get the "unable to transcode" error. It almost seems like they somehow deleted some of my Adobe components. Everything worked fine before I took the computer in, I was just running out of space on my hard drive. Can I just re-install the entire CS5, or is that even neccessary? I am using Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2 with and Intel Quad Core processor w/ 8GB ram and a 64bit operating system.
Thanks for your help!!!

I was just running out of space on my hard drive.
And the servicing included a new one, tranjsferring the install via a system image? This is bound to cause problems, since the drive mapping won't match. Not just with Adobe products, but also otehr programs and Windows itself. Indeed a clean reinstall of everything is strongly advisable... In your case it has definitely bombed out the licensing info, hence you are unable to use anything related to MPEG or other formats that use CoDecs tied in with the activation...

Can you merge projects in imovie 09?

Is it possible to merge projects in iMovie09?
I am using iDVD, and I realized after my first test that it would be a lot easier if I could just merge all of my projects for each year, then put each year as one movie in iDVD.
But I do not see how to do this.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

No.
And iDVD doesn't offer a play-all feature as Toast does.
What you can do, 'merge' all Project-exports by re-importing them into a single new one. Or, for such purpose better/faster, using Quicktime-pro to glue all .mov together.

Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
thanks

In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

Why can't you trim or merge (pathfinder) a gradient?

Whenever I try to trim or merge a gradient it only divides it, but when it's solid it works. Why? I'm trying to trim/merge some artwork with a lot of gradients and it's making it impossible. If anyone knows of a way to do this with gradients please let me know. Here is an image of what I'm talking about showing it working with solids, but not gradients.
<a href='http://postimg.org/image/6oew6ezdr/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s11.postimg.org/6oew6ezdr/trim.jpg' border='0' alt="trim" /></a>

Yes I mean why can't you trim or merge a gradient object (not mesh gradient) like a solid object? Both are objects and both get split in some way without effecting the gradient itself (besides splitting the object of course). So why is it that it only allows gradient objects to basically be divided only, but not merged or trimmed. It seems like it should work, but for some reason is treats solid objects as solid objects and gradients objects as solid objects with overprint fill applied. I really wish Adobe would address this as it doesn't make sense to clip out the gradient area if the gradient isn't required to change. What's the point of having the trim or merge if it only divides it? What's the point of leaving objects underneath the gradient? It just seems to defeat the purpose of both operations.
For anyone else following this thread the way to workaround this is by copying each gradient, pasting behind (ctrl+b) and then changing it to a solid color that is not in the design. Once you trim or merge you can select same fill color to delete the solid color from underneath and then you are just left with the gradient properly trim/merged. The bad news is this is super time intensive if you have 100s of gradients on multiple different levels as paste behind pastes only directly behind the object you had selected, so if your order is not perfect some objects will actually paste in front which you don't want.
Alternatively you could trim or merge everything and then select same fill color and then reunite each gradient, but that changes the gradient position itself so you'll have to reapply the correct angle, etc to each gradient which again is time consuming.
For all those wondering why do I need to be able to do this. I work with spot colors which have to be trapped correctly with gradients. This requires overlapping gradients and doing overprint fills to make sure they blend properly. If I trim/merge the gradient objects if puts lines through the gradient that shows up in print and makes it more difficult to apply the underlaying color correctly.

Why can't I import an iMovie clip (.MOV) into iTunes?

After importing HD video (from a Canon Vixia HV40) into iMovie 11 (v 9.04) at 960x540 resolution, you get a bunch of .mov files. Does anyone know why those .mov files, as they come out of the import process,will not import into iTunes?
Here are the details. My brother wanted to put a small one onto his iPad. I told him the simplest way (or so I thought) to do it would be to import the .mov file into iTunes (v 10.6.1) and then sync his iPad. There was no need to make a project from the single clip, then share it. However, iTunes will not import any of the .mov files made with the iMovie import. Does anyone know why? This happens on my iMac (core i7) and his (core i5). Of course, if I open the .mov file in QuickTime Player (v 10.1) then export to a .m4v file (export setting "iPad, iPhone & Apple TV"), the new file imports into iTunes just fine. In case iTunes thinks you shouldn't be importing clips from the iMovie events folder, I dragged the clip to the desktop and tried the import, but that did not work either.
I guess what this comes down to is given that iMovie, QuickTime Player and iTunes all come from Apple, why can iMovie and QuickTime Player read the file while iTunes cannot? I would think the same code would be in all three products (do the iMovie and QuickTime Player developers refuse to share, while the iTunes developers are lazy?).

I had this problem also, only the .m4v files could not be imported either! The strange thing was I was able to do this task with other home vids in the past without issue. I simply shut everything down and rebooted at this point as a last dithch effort to avoid a trip to the Apple store and then it worked - itunes was able to accept the import.

The Windows Media codec you are using is running in the "demo" mode. To export full clips you must purchase or upgrade to one of the export capable codec components like those included in the "Studio" or "Studio Pro HD" software package.

Merged Clips in Pr don't import into AE (or export from Pr via Dynamic Link)

anyone else encounter this??
Exporting ANY sequence from Premiere that contains Merged Clips to Ae via Dynamic Link results in NO clips showing up in the AE Comp.
On the flip side, I can Import a Premiere Pro Sequence in Ae, but the only clips that do show up are NON-merged clips.
Here's what a simple test sequence looks like on the Pr side of things:
And here's how it shows up in Ae when choosing Import-->Adobe Premier Pro Project (and selecting single sequence):
vs. the exact same sequence sent from Pr to Ae via Dynamic Link:

Hmm..I wonder if it's Multi-Cam merged, vs just single video track and audio track merged, that is the issue. I'll have to do some more tests.

Can't use JKL or mark in point on subclip of merged clip.

I can't use JKL or mark an in point on the subclip of merged clip. Is this a bug?

HERE SHOULD BE YOUR SOLUTION:
Command+Space to bring up universal search, type in "Internet plug-ins"...
You may get multiple choices, one referencing OS-X Lion, perhaps one ref-ing your personal login...Choose one (I started with the main - OS X Lion - one)...it will open on your desktop...If you're like me (or like the Droitetgouche), you've already tried to install it, and it gave you all that crap about "can't be modified"...etc...So delete any of those plug-ins (there may be a few, depending how many installs you've tried), then right-click the "Internet Plug-ins" folder and choose "get info"...I'm not sure why "D...che" (spelling ease) couldn't change permissions...maybe wasn't logged in as the admin?...but click the "lock" symbol in the bottom right corner, unlock it, change ALL permissions to Read & Write, then relock it. Then open the IKEA dmg again and drag the item into the folder and it should work no problem.
Then quit Safari, restart, and it should let you work.
IF it doesn't, try going back to your universal search and choosing a different "Internet Plug-ins" folder...(Also, if you've tried the install, and you don't find any IKEA dmg's in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, you're likely in the wrong folder).
Also, you may want to go back later and restrict the read/write permissions when you're done with IKEA.
It worked for me, let me know if it works for you.
