The clip selected in the timeline?

Is there anyway to get the selected item in a calendar using ExtendScript? And also get clips/departure point (and other metadata).

Otherwise, plan to implement? I am currently looking for a tool to 'Publish' in the first construction of a vfx pipeline and I need to be able to 'do things' on the selected clip.

Hello

I know it's an old question, but yes you can do it.

You can loop through a trackItemCollection and locate the isSelected() property. Returns a Boolean, if true, you can still get the trackItem, two inPoint and outPoint.

var app.project.activeSequence = SEQ;

var titles = seq.videoTracks;

check for the first track

var firstTrackItems = .clips [0] titles;

for (var i = 0; i)< firsttrackitems.numitems="" ;="">

var currentClip = firstTrackItems [i];

If (firstTrackItems [i] .isSelected ()) {}

do what you want with the clip

Alert (firstTrackItems [i].start.seconds);

}

}

  • Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for play the clips selected in the timeline panel?

    I split an audio clip in several short sections on its trajectory in the timeline panel. I can choose one of these clips divided by clicking on it, but is it then a shortcut to read only the part of the script corresponding to the selection?

    I know there are shortcuts to 'play out' and 'play' the cursor, but it would be great to be able to "play selection" as you can in audio DAWs.

    Thanks for any help.

    One way:

    Select the item, type ' / ' to mark the clip in and out, then Option + K to play outside.

  • When you move the timeline indicator - it deselects selected clips previously (to add fx for example) in cc2015 - why?

    Hey everybody, I would be grateful is someone could answer this for me:

    When I selected more clips to add fx for them - and try to move the timeline indicator to see if I left out the clips more, as soon as it comes to a previously deselected clip - all my selections disappear.

    It could be related to the fact that each clip gets selected when I scroll up and down the timeline without doing me anything. (No need to click on the clip so that it can be selected).

    Please someone make me know what I am doing wrong or what setting I accidentally put under tension! I want that this party

    Thank you!!!

    Uncheck the selection follows the playhead to the title sequence.

  • Selection of clips on the timeline, all with the same name?

    Hi all

    is there a way to select multiple clips on a timeline with the same prefix name from all at once; for can then drag them all to his own video track to isolate? They have no name of timecode or roll on them, the clips are all individual files in the finder, but starting all per C1 in the name. Basically, there are more than 100 of them on the timeline and would be almost impossible to do properly and not miss anything, not to mention difficult to select them one by one.

    Thank you

    Nevermind, worked on it, search all...

  • Cannot select multiple clips on the timeline at the same time...?

    Hello

    I have a new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10. I'm running the first Pro V. 8.1

    When I click on a clip on the timeline, and then press SHIFT and click on something else in the meantime program to select all the clips in the meantime... it doesn't.

    Known issue? I am ex-FCP7 and I want to really make my go-to new Premier Pro, but not be able to select several clips is problematic.

    See you soon

    MD

    I think it's just how it works, not sure of any option to change it. It discusses the shift as ctrl/cmd, very strange.  You can use the mouse to drag a box on the clamps. There are also track select Tools from the toolbar.

  • How pre-made only parts of the timeline or the selected clips?

    I move from Vegas Pro in Premiere Pro. In Las Vegas, you select a part of the timeline, and then press CTRL-B and that it makes this segment.

    First, you press on enter, but he does not pay attention to the selected clips, she makes just before the entire sequence.

    This would not be a big problem except that I'm managing projects that are long enough, with 20-30 sequences and sequences 20 or so nested in each project and I spend between about 18 different projects for a series of videos 23 or almost.

    These videos are already taxing my system resources with only a few minutes or so (referencing about 80 to 120 GB of the source footage), but my desktop computer is a little weak.

    The problem is that when I have pre-made a nested sequence and bring on the main timeline, I pre-rendered it * again * after the next series of adjustments (ie the color correction, transitions, etc). So, I have to do AGAIN when I copy it to another scenario for a similar project.

    Each time, it may take as long as 15 or 20 minutes (my graphics card is a nVidia GTX 560 Ti, there CUDA, but prem does not support a reason any).

    When my script main glitched out, forcing me to divide it into different projects, it took me almost 4 hours just to copy things up with another 20 minutes to load the file glitched.

    Then I had to go and pre-made everything new to work my edits in place.

    Even if everything is properly set up to 90%, I still have to wait for the entire sequence finish the pre-rendered.

    As above, in Vegas Pro, I simply select a part of the timeline and the sticks of pre-rendered to this area.

    I saw an article that said that you might create on edge and use it for rendering, but it doesn't seem to be something CS6.

    I heard that Adobe was trying to maintain CS6 as a parallel to CC thing. Surely I don't have to move to a subscription of 600 $par year just so that I can pre-made parts of the script as a low-end competitor program has had something like 5 years...?

    What Miss me? There must be a way to do it simply.

    You should uncheck the workspace toolbar in the Menu of the Panel (upper right corner), the timeline.

  • You can select a group of clips on the timeline to loop through reading?

    In order to help me learn reading and lessons complex clip I use Premiere Pro to isolate sections of the difficulty of the study. I have independent clips on the timeline laid out in groups, each group marked with color labels so I can review and play only the groups of clips, or "parties", overall, but I would like to isolate each of these groups a little more if I could play each independently "in the loop" so I can still study them independently and isolated from others. Is it possible to do it on the timeline? I know I can score points on the clips themselves in the preview and output screens and loop, but now I would do each set of clips on the timeline in loop in the sections of clips. I hope that I wrote this clearly.

    Put them on a different schedule and those in the playback loop.

  • Can cut is no longer clips of media to drag in the timeline of the movie

    Once I have download media, and I create a movie in iMovie, I am no longer able to highlight the small clips of media uploaded to slide on the timeline of the movie.  I did this for years with ease, but now when I upload media (let's say it's a 90 minute video), when I touch the clip it highlights the whole thing instead of letting me choose that it contains.  Any help would be great!

    Yes, there was a change in the last update to iMovie.  The default is now to choose the full clip.  To select a part of a clip in an event that you have pressed the 'r' key while you move the cursor over the area you want to select.  An alternative is to position the cursor at the beginning of the selection and press 'i' and then place the cursor at the end of the selection and press 'o'.

  • How can I delete several clips at once from the timeline

    How can I delete several clips at once from the timeline?

    Thanks, Dan

    Shift-click or command-click to select if they are contiguous. Then press the delete key.

    Or select them and use the keyboard shortcut command + X.

    Or select them in the Index of the Timeline and use the key DELETE or command + X.

  • In windows Movie Maker I get Audio when I do drag a video clip to the timeline, what should I do?

    I was OK by dragging separate images to the timeline in Movie Maker. Now, I am trying to add video clips (AV1). When I drag them down only the Audio for the clip is recording during playback. How can I fix to make sure the video track also records? Thank you.

    There are many types of AVI files and many if not

    Best bet would be to convert AVI files to the

    There are to many converters available on the net...
    some free, some details... the following freeware is
    just an example:

    When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
    and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

    Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the

    Select (highlight) the files you want to import into

    When video files are imported into Freemake,

  • Impossible to move one of my clips but can do everything else within the timeline

    Hello

    Yesterday, this same exact project was working perfectly and now (the deadline) he suddenly decided to not cooperate, so I'm hoping for some suggestions please!

    I can't drag anything in my calendar, I can't move the clips in the timeline AT ALL. I can always manipulate the clips already located in the timeline that is razor, extend, ripple edit etc. but they didn't budge.

    I did the following to try to rectify;

    (1) selected all tracks A & V (they go up to 5)

    (2) erased all my points of entry and

    (3) restarted and shut down my computer

    (4) copied and pasted a new project

    I've been editing for a long time and it's never happened to me so I am at a complete loss what to do.

    Help, please!

  • Multicam clip in the timeline falls pose of source, not a multicam video clips

    I'm on first Pro CC 2015 9.2, and I'm working on the selection of blocking interviews. I moved from one position to another and any sequence to another project to use when the main editor works on the original.

    Now, when I select and drop a multicam clip in the timeline, it brings all the multicam clips and not the multicam himself. I guess a setting somewhere has spilled or something in the import. Any help? I do not want to nest each selection!

    I have several clips in my calendar ~ 200 +.

    I understand that I must first nest each clip and then put them in a bin export to the SOUL from there.

    Problem is, I have to right-click on each item and select niche, then I must name it... so with 200 clips I have 400 shares to achieve this result.
