• Can I duplicate a Multicam clip?

  I have a multicam clip enough complex that FCPX don't sync too well, so I did most of it manually. Now it's done, I know it would have been much better if it was two separate blocking clips.

  To save all the hassle of syncing it yet once, I would like to duplicate the Multicam Clip and remove then off a beginning and the end of the other, so the duplicate clips should be completely independent of each other.

  It doesn't seem to be a way to duplicate in the browser of Multicam items (probably because they have the same links and changing one will affect the other).

  Is there a way to create an independent clip of MC duplicate?

  Hey Andy,

  If you create a new library and move the multicam to the event in the new library must copy and allow you to independently change the original lib.

• How can I display the first image of a built-in clip?

  I prepare a presentation for my 10.11.16 retina, with Keynote 6.6.1 MacPro OSX. I want that it contains clips integrated to my films. I chose the simplest theme - plain black.  I drag and drop these Quicktime movies or .mov of iTunes to a new black slide in Keynnote.

  When I'm in mode Navigator or Light Table etc, what I see is a series of black images - although if I click with the mouse the video will play. How can I see the first frame of the movie, and don't forget that it will start when I move to the slide, so that I can see the order of presentation, or know what's coming?

  You see black because it is what is contained in the poster frame, which is the first frame of the video by default.

  To change the original image: click the video on the slide to select it, then go to: Inspector > Format > film

  either drag the corrector, or enter a number in the box, here I'v entered 4 seconds for the poster so frame the frame of departure:

  

• How can I change my clips still 406 in iMovie 10.1 to play longer

  I try to use iMovie 10.1 and cannot figure out how to do all the clips even longer. They are now less than a second. I changed the length in preferences, but that doesn't change anything. Help, please. I was very competent in IMOVIE 09...

  Changing preferences doesn't change the duration of still images alreadput in a project calendar.  What you can do is choose stills all affected in the timeline (click on it while pressing the command key) then clicking on information (little ' i' in a circle above Viewer), typing in the desired time and then pressing return.

• Clip position FCPX to time place

  I may be dumb here, but...

  How to position an element, above the timeline, to a specific place in time (typed in)?

  Thank you

  Simple click on the clock in the viewer and type in your departure time, then the return or enter key. Select a clip or title/generator and type the key "q". Your clip (or selection) will be added to the plot as a clip that is connected from the position of the read head.

  You can simply drag a clip over history (chronology) and while you drag, if the alignment feature is on, it will break at the playhead. If snapping is turned off, press the "n" key down and the clip will break at the playhead. (Slam will also jump to other borders as well, then press and hold n when you get close to your destination).

• Making clips composed of a browser-problem event

  I have been slow (1 hour or more) video on a go pro and import it in FCP to edit; my go splits pro 1 hour long video into several separate clips (usually 4), and after them get into final cut PRO, so I have to combine them into a single file once again, I am using compound of clips.  The fastest way to do it, I think, is to select clips in the browser of the event, right click and create a clip made up; However for some reason any when I do that one or more clips in the compound clip are generally reduced much, so I have to open the item in the timeline and restore clips concerned so that they are at their full length.  Anyone know why this is happening and how to prevent it?  I can work around it is but it is annoying to have to do.

  Don't know why this is happening. Out of curiosity try to make an empty compound clip, opening and adding content. The same thing happens?

• clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

  First time user FCPX.

  I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

  Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

  I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

  After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

  Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

  If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

  Thank you!

  The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

  You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.

• How to combine left half a clip with right half another

  My situation; I'm filming me as 2 characters in 1 shot.  I have 2 clips with the same game.  In a clip, I am sitting on the left, in the other, I sat to the right.  I would like to combine them into a single element where half a clip left combines with half right on the other.  It is slightly different from the next, cutaway and image in the image.  Is this possible in imovie?  Help appreciated, thanks.

  Hi, Paulways,

  You will not be able to combine half a clip with half left right of the another clip using the cropping features of iMovie video.    However, you may be able to do it using Quicktime.  What you need to do is to crop each clip so that it plays in less than full screen.  In other words, a clip that you just want to the left to play and the other clip just on the right side.  Then you could combine clips in iMovie using side by side.

  Before proceeding to any culture, first you want to duplicate your clips and work with the duplicates if you keep your original recordings.   Once you've duplicated, try the following steps on each clip using Quicktime to crop on the right or left side as needed:

  

  Now you should have two clips, one that plays only the left side and one that plays only the right side.  You should be able to import it into iMovie and use the side by side feature combine them seamlessly.   At least, I think it works.

  If you try it, let us know how it worked.

  Best,

  Rich

• Duplicate a clip inside a compound

  I work with clips inside a compound Clip.  There's a part initially grayed out indicating the area that is not currently displayed on the parent timeline.  (for example the first minute of 00:00:00:00 to 00:01:00:00 is grey).

  Is it possible to duplicate the clip of scenario and position the copy for the departure to 00:00:00:00 - which is inside the greyed area?  FCPx won't let me slide the clip copied earlier to align with the original, instead, forcing them to start after the part greyed out 00:01:00:00 as soon as possible.

  Please don't ask why I need to do... it's complicated ;-), but it would be a great help if I could.

  See you soon,.

  Geoff

  What happens if you temporarily change the compensation in the parent timeline, edit the compound as you wish, then cut it to the original departure time?

  Oh, sorry... I can't resist but... Why?

• Import the external drive, indicates each clip

  When I import media in FCPX from an SD card, I am able to select the appropriate folder that contains my support.

  After a meeting, the first thing I do is to empty the gross support on an external drive.  If I try to import media for this drive, every single clip on the entire disk, no matter which folder it is located, appear in the import window.  I can't simply navigate to the folder that interests me.  Is there a setting I'm missing?  Any help would be appreciated.

  Put the contents of the card in files rather than the level of the root of the drive. If the application considers DCIM and AVCHD, it assumes that it is watching a disc of the camera and show all available media.

• Make a movie with clips of 1080 and 4 k sources

  Hi all

  If I do a movie with clips of 1080 p sources (like my iPhone 6) and 4 k sources (like my GoPro) I'll still be able to export the animation to quality 4 k? Is there something specific I need to do to keep export k 4 option in iMovie available i.e. the order I add clips in the project, etc.? Will be 1080 p "blasts upward" clips at 4 k resolution?

  Thank you for your help.

  10.1.2 iMovie will use the size of the first element that you add to your project to determine the format of the exported movie.

  See Help: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/move6ccb3330

  The resolution and the frame rate of your movie project are determined by the first clip you add to the timeline. iMovie now supports 4 K video and image rates at 30 frames per second (fps). If you want your project to be set at 4K resolution, the first clip you add to the timeline should be a clip of 4K. If you want your project to be set to 60 fps, the first clip you add to the timeline should be a clip of 60 frames per second.

• iMovie creates too many Clips when you import

  Hello

  I'm importing old home movies and that you have run into an interesting question. When you connect an older Sony MiniDV camera via Firewire to my MacBook Pro, is to create an insane amount of individual clips - of different lengths (between one second and five seconds) - of the video that has no breaks in it. So a solid 10 minute clip (non-stop), I'll have nearly 100 small clips in iMovie.

  I actually changed computers - and cable - thinking that it could be a computer problem, but it always does. I am trying to determine where the problem is. I'm hoping to avoid importing video analog if possible.

  Does anyone have this problem before?

  Thank you!

  Rick...

  This problem came several times in discussions. No solution if I ever posted. Usually this is related to the time for questions on the code clip. Some people have reported success by importing to the Quicktime format and then transfer them to iMovie. You could try to import into Quicktime.

• How can I add text floating to a clip? (not a title, floating text that can be moved)

  How can I add floating text? Or is it possible to move the title autour text, how do I do?

  If you can not get the desired effect using the scrolling credits, the Far Far Away or the titles of Ticker,

  the only way that I can think is to create a file with the text you want on a green or blue (outside of iMovie) and put it above a green or blue background element in the timeline panel.  You can then use the image in the photo installation and creation of keyframes to move the text on the background.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mova1aaa682b for more details.

  Share/export this file, then import the file and place it above your video clip.  This time, use the blue/green screen so that the text appears on top of your video.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov82da1338a for more details.

  Bulky, but should work.

• main volume of clip volume vs

  When I apply a limiter, the volume of the video clips but the volume does not work. I don't hear any sound distortion (I use only my iMac speakers...). Is this right? What happened when clip is "yellow"?

  Rely on the counters, not the waveforms.  Waveforms are a general representation, is not that precise.  The level of a simple clips is specific level of this clip.  But, when you have other clips playing at the same time, even if they are all limited to the same peak decibel level, the overall volume will increase.  Audio is cumulative, as in a source at-6 dB is - 6db.  Two clips at-6 DB will be around in 3db(-ish) or in this neighbourhood.  So if you have two or more audio sources playing at once, the two must be pulled down a bit below what you want the Pb of the resulting overall to be art.  Also, for some reason, I find the limiters within FCPX to act oddly, unlike what is happening inside Logic Pro and other audio applications that use Audio plugins.

• Need to share multiple clips

  Hello

  Just starting to learn iMovie. I was filming a football match and have everything changed in imovie. However when I go to share videos to youtube this option is grayed out. I don't want to make a movie. I want to keep the separate clips and add to a YouTube playlist. Is this possible? Or do I have to add each element one at a time? With 75 clips, for each match, I go crazy.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You cannot share individual sequences, or a selection of clips, from a project.   You must share the entire project.   You can share the original clip to the media browser screen, but it does not contain your Assembly.

  You can change/Select/copy an excerpt published a project and Edition and paste the clip into a new project where you can share from there as an entire project containing one clip.

  I hope this helps.
