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.

  • Apex mixes applications working with two windows at the same time

    Hi all, while developing in Apex I have found the following problem:
    Working with two different applications at the same time, the browser goes from one to another indistinctly.
    To reproduce the problem:
    1. Open the same application builder in two different Firefox windows
    2. Open a different application in each window (In my case: application 103 in window1 and application 105 in window2)
    3. Go to shared components in both windows (window1 first)
    - window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 103 > Shared Components
    - window2 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 105 > Shared Components
    4. Click in any shared component in window1 (Templates, Authentication Schemes...)
    - window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application *105* > Shared Components > Templates (Application 105 instead of 103)
    Is it a bug? I have read the known issues [[Here]|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html] but it does not appear.
    Related Data:
    Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07
    Firefox 3.6.15
    SO: Windows XP
    The error is not reproduced with IE7. I have not tested any other browser.

    If you tried opening up two pages in the same application each of which modifies the same page items, you would notice the same issue.
    This is because, in a session there is only one set of values for page items(or application items) and every parallel call to the same page would update the same bind variables.
    Now the development environment or Apex Builder is also an apex application , and when try and open up the pages as you mentioned, they both access the same Application Builder page and sets/resets any existing values for those variables(and maybe cookies too if they are being used) , hence the 'mixing up'.
    If that didn't convince you, check the URL of both the pages when you load them, they should show the same page number ( f?p=APP_ID:PAGE_NUMBER syntax). Imagine if the same approach was done with one of your application pages, say an edit form opened from a report with multiple records in multiple tabs like what happened with this case: {message:id=9346663}
    So this really isn't a bug in a way, because that is how session states in apex is/was maintained. Ofcourse if they used another kind of development platform for building pages, it may have been avoided, but thats an altogether different point in itself.

  • [CS3 JS] Working with two documents of the same name

    I work with sets of documents that use standardized names. I'm trying to write a script that compares two documents from different sets. Because the source and the target documents both have the same name, I've encountered some disturbing behavior that reminds me of the app.activeWindow bug that Dave has written about. (
    Dave Saunders, "Scripting FAQ as Wiki" #14, 15 Oct 2007 12:19 pm)
    To perform the comparison, I have to grab a reference to the same region of text in both documents, as offset from regular landmarks. I was just patting myself on the back for figuring out the "story.characters.itemByRange(begin, end).texts[0]" acrobatics required, when I discovered that my text objects were magically "dissolving" into invalid objects.
    After a lot of debugging and attempts to hack around the problem (i.e. storing the text begin/end indices and not grabbing the text object until the last possible moment), I've narrowed it down to the references to the source and target documents. I've watched the reference variable to the source document *change* to instead reference the target document when I start accessing the target document object. Once this happens, any text objects belonging to the source document become invalid, as if the source document had been closed.
    Is there any way around this? I've thought about temporarily saving the files to different names, but I haven't tried it yet.
    Here's a script that demonstrates the problem (you'll have to find your own same-named documents if you want to run it):
    var source = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/source";
    var target = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/target";
    function findChapters(in_doc) {
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "chapter-num";
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+";
    return in_doc.findGrep();
    var sdoc = app.open(File(source+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
    var s_file_start = sdoc.fullName;
    var s_chs = findChapters(sdoc);
    var s_story = s_chs[0].parentStory;
    var s_txt = s_story.characters.itemByRange(s_chs[0].index,
    s_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
    var tdoc = app.open(File(target+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
    // At this point, sdoc now references tdoc instead.
    // s_txt, s_story, and s_chs become invalid objects.
    var t_file_start = tdoc.fullName;
    var t_chs = findChapters(tdoc);
    var t_story = t_chs[0].parentStory;
    var t_txt = t_story.characters.itemByRange(t_chs[0].index,
    t_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
    var s_file_end = sdoc.fullName;
    if (s_file_end.name != s_file_start.name) {
    var result = "What a nasty bug!";
    "Finished";

    I've tried saving the document to a temporary name, and it works satisfactorily:
    function openFileAsTemp(a_file) {
    var tmp_folder = Folder.temp.fullName;
    var date = new Date();
    var temp_file = File(tmp_folder+'/'+date.valueOf()+'_'+a_file.name);
    var doc = app.open(a_file);
    doc = doc.save(temp_file);
    return doc;

  • Working with Uncompressed Beta in the Timeline

    I am trying to figure out how to work with uncompressed Beta footage in FCP 5. I have tried changing my timeline settings to the format that my footage was digitized (8 bit Uncompressed) but FCP still drops frames. The only other thing I have been able to do is render the footage in a standard timeline, but everytime I make a cut I have to render again. Is there a solution?

    An ethernet workflow (sharing media over a LAN) even with gigabit is really only semi-doable. I've done it on DV projects, as have others here, but the problem is consistency of delivery, even under DV conditions, I sometimes got dropped frames.
    If you're doing uncompressed 8 bit, you can do that off a single internal SATA drive, 10 bit would require a controller and softraiding (that's the route I went).
    But I'd definitely say that your problem with dropped frames is most likely the result of accessing high bandwidth requirement media over an ethernet connection.
    Finally - how are you displaying this timeline? Surely not firewire, so do you have a display/capture card like Kona/Decklink/Etc?

  • 3.2.3;Swing app.; Cannot work with two applications at the same time.

    Hi guys,
    I bring this problem here may somebody experienced that.
    I developed two client side applications(applets) with JDev3.2.3.
    Locate them on Apache/Tomcat. There is also a
    Index.html file with two links, so when user clicks on
    each link the associated application will downloaded
    on his/her PC and ready to work. (In index.html I used
    JavaScript function window.open(…) to load the applications)
    Now please see this scenario:
    1-I ran/loaded both application in two separate
    browsers(IE5.5). And tried to work with them(minimized
    one and work with another). Soon I faced unexpected
    frizzing/locking or very slow running on both
    applications.
    2-Then closed/killed one of them(killed IE). Then
    re-executed same application again. The application
    loaded with the last activated screen . Seems it never
    killed and it was still alive.
    3- The only way to successfully working is one by one.
    Means execute & work with one, then kill that, and
    then execute and work with another. Which is not expected
    in the Windows enviroment.
    To Debug:
    When both applications were running(each on it’s own
    IE), I opened the Task Manager and saw there was only
    one IEXPLORER.EXE was running, also there was only one
    Java VM (a little bird icon) on right-bottom of the
    screen.
    I believe this causes the problem. Seems they both
    running in the same session. Since I opened two
    applications in two IE I was expected to see two
    IEXPLORER.EXE with two JVM. Am I right? Do you think
    so?
    Any way, Now I am seeking to find the solution. My
    primary mind says probably I should not use
    window.open(..) in index.html to load the
    applications.
    Would appreciate any command on this.

    Same thing with me! My microphone doesn't even register in anything but ventrilo!
    It's dri'ves me NUTS! I bought the card (xfi fatalty) for a really good price, but I almost regret even looking into the soundcard because of this bug. I know Vista is a new operating system..but I figure'd this kind of update should have been noticed MUCH earlier..
    Please creative, can you fix this?
    On another note..is there a sound quality difference between using an x-fi in vista vs xp?
    *not meaning to thread jack*
    finally..
    you should probably close the other thread.. You made two, you know.

  • How can I work with two images at the same time?

  • Working with Muliptle videos in the same flash file

    I am trying to figure out the best way (steps) to put 3

    this basically correct... . (And please correct any terminolgy
    mishaps b/c I am still confused when I hear flash movie versus

    1. Convert original .wmv files to flash video files (.flv)
    2. Create individual swf files that each contain one flv with
    it's corresponding playback controls
    3. Create video 'player' that contain movie symbol instances

  • Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

    I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

    I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

  • 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.

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • Is there a way to work with two or more app at the same time on iPhone or iPad

  • I have recently installed Mavericks and since then I have been unable to shut down or log out of my mac.  I work with two screens and now I seem to have programmes at the top of both screens which I didn't before.  any advice?

    I have recently installed Mavericks on my desk top and since then I have been unable to switch off my computer without crashing it. I work with two screen and now I seem to have the menu bar on the second screen as well which I did not have before.  Can you please help me?

    Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
    I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
    After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
    Good luck to you...
