Without Mouse: Toggle between selected timeline video clips- Keyboard Only Method

Simple Question, but can't able to find the answer on internet.
How do I select the timeline video clip without clicking on it with mouse help?
All I want to do is, select the video with keyboard only. And switch the cam layer on cut. In other words toggle the selected clip on cut points, with keyboard only.
Thank you all
Max

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "the timeline video clip" but here are a few keyboard shortcuts that may help: the q key toggles between the Timeline and the Viewer windows; if the Timeline window is active, the up arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the previous edit; the down arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the next edit.
You can find more here: http://documentation.apple.com/search/#q=keyboard%20shortcuts and here: https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=fcp+7+keyboard+shortcuts&sourceid=o pera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest

Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

How do I select multiple video clips in iMovie?

I want to select a lot of video clips from the Event Library in iMovie and move them into a Project for editing.
However as there are no up/down arrows on the scroll bar it is really difficult to highlight/select using the cmd button (as I then need to grab the scroll bar and move it down at the same time).
Is there an easy way to do this?
For instance, can I change the clips from visual to a list of file names that I could just then transfer to my project and then switch back to the visual view of each file/clip?
Thanks.

You can also select 'ranges' of clips as you describe using the Shift key. First select #1 clip, hold down Shift, then click on the #29 clip. This will get ALL the clips between #1 and #29 without clicking individual clips or selecting all and chippping away. Same goes for the second example. Click once on the #71 clip then hold down Shift, and click the #100 clip, and everything in between will also be selected. So there's two kinds of clicking:
1. Command/Click (for selecting or deselecting one at a time)
2. Shift/Click (for selecting ranges or deselecting ranges of clips all at one time)

Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

hello ,thanks for jour mail ,but my English is very very bad sorry but
many thank for your feedback. Hav a nice Day

Difficulty with SELECTING proper VIDEO CLIP within MOTION3.

Hi all.
I'm editing in fcp and want to create smooth slo-mo's in Motion 3.
In my fcp sequence I highlight my clip and "send to Motion"...
Motion opens with the clip in the viewer.
Under the inspector tab I go to timing --> in frame blending I select 'motion-blur blending', then select 50% in the speed tab.
The clip looks awesome -- nice and smooth, but the only problem is that Motion doesn't allow me to select which PART of the clip it's effecting...and usually the part of the shot that I need slo-mo'd is not part of what Motion selects.
Why is this? How do I adjust the perameters so that I can pick which part of the clip gets slowed?
Thanks.
Mark

If you have tried to speed change in FCP prior to sending to Motion, the speed changes do not properly move into Motion, so Motion will be using the wrong section of the clip.
Just make sure you're sending the clip you want to Motion with speed unchanged and you should be fine...

Photoshop elements 10 will not play uploaded video clips. Only the sound for the clip is available.

The clips are playable with Quicktime or Windows Media Player.

You need Premier Elements 10 or 11 not photoshop elements. Photoshop is for photos and general images; I doubt it can edit/play videos despite the core program elements are common to both applications. They are marketed as joint programs by Adobe but most people opt for individual products AFAIK.

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

Hi
I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk. I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting. The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist. a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips. I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the the audio and video clips are different lengths.
This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames. This offset is after several clips. I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means. Can anyone explain this cross hatching? What do I do about it? the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame. By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

Idvd 08 audio during the title main page, but not selected video clips?

ok, i have idvd 08 and already added the video clips and a theme song to the title main page. i even did a preview to see what it would look like if it was to be played on a DVD player and it just the way i want it. BUT when i burnt it onto a dvd and tried to play it on the tv, everything looks fine during the title main page with audio, but when i select a video clip to be played it plays without audio...plz help!
thanks!

I took the videos from my sony cybershot through a USB cord, moved it onto my desktop and dragged it to the 'drop zones'. I don't know if this will help any but an example of the video format I'm trying to use is "MOV0144.mpg"

Is there any way to get a video clip to snap to a beat marker?

I have tried everything and cannot get this to work. The video clip snaps ONLY to the timeline and ignores the beat marker. It doesn't make any difference if "Snap" is on or off.
When "Snap" is on and I attempt to move the video clip to snap to the beat marker, I see a red line indicating the edge of the beat marker, but there is no way to get the clip to snap to it.
This to me is a bug and I hope this can be fixed soon because there is no way to truly synchronize your video to the beats of your audio track. Those of you who think your video is "beat" synced to your audio, please look very closely at the precise location of your video in relation to your wave forms.
Another way of putting this whole thing is that there is no way to position the start or endpoint of any video or audio track in-between any frames. The start and endpoints will always coincide with a frame. It would be real nice to be able to nudge a track left or right so that it's start or endpoint lie in-between a frame.

I keep getting people telling me how it is possible to position the starting or end point of a clip in-between a frame. With all due respect I don't think these individuals really understand the relationship of the clip and the frame. At least that is my understanding.
So I assume that the following is true:
If you want to sync a video clip to an audio peak that lies in-between a frame, the only possible way that his can be done is to edit the audio so the audio peak falls precisely on a frame. This is because you can only place begin and start points of a clip directly on a frame and not in-between.
Does this sound correct?

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

Trying to distinguish photo from video clip ?

Hi,
I have just started using A3. I have noticed that it is difficult to distinguish between photos and video clips in A3. Only from the metadata badges you can see a very small icon in the bottom right hand corner.
Is there a better way to easily see a which is a video clip ?
The only way I can see is to sort by file size.
Any inputs ?

There should be a default "Videos" Smart Album in your Projects and Albums shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. That will show you all or your videos.
As you've noticed, video are flagged with a small badge which you can show in either the Viewer or the Browser. (The shortcut for showing metadata overlays is "u" in the Browser and "y" in the Viewer.) You could apply a colored label to all your movies if you would like them to stand out more in the Browser. In the "Videos" Smart Album, select all, then "Metadata>>Label>>ChooseColor".
There are, of course, any other number of ways to do similar things. Filter on +"File Type = Video"+. Put all your videos in Projects in a separate Folder. Make Albums of videos. Apply the keyword "Video" to all videos. Append something like +" video"+ to the filenames of all videos, and then just use the text search.
HTH.

Is there any way to toggle between languages in 10.5.8?

I write emails in Japanese {Hiragana and Kanji) a lot but I need to frequently transfer between English and Japanese for that.
On an older OSX version there used to be a way to toggle between selected languages using the space bar and another key (I think it was the Apple key) but that doesn't work in 10.5.8.
Is there another way to toggle selected languages in 10.5.8?

Someone (called rick) made a video tip on this.

Toggling between languages in OSX

I communicate in both English and French on a regular basis. In Windows I can toggle between English and French (Canada) keyboard layouts, so I can type in both languages easily.
How do I do this in OSX, and is there a keyboard mapping available online for Mac keyboards for French (Canada) layout?
Thanks!

Hi Catti,
Two places to visit first:
- in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts,
choose different shortcuts for Spotlight and for Input Menu, so that you can easily use both.
For example,
(Spotlight)
command-space --> Show Spotlight search field
option-command-space --> Show Spotlight window
(Input Menu)
control-space --> Select the previous input source
option-control-space --> Select the next input source in the Input menu
- in System Preferences > International > Input Menu,
enable "Show input menu in menu bar". Enable also Character Palette, Keyboard Viewer and all your favorite layouts (Canadian French CSA for example).
Now you can test the input source options, see which one fits to your habits or your work.

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.
