There’s probably a cool trick solution somewhere I don’t know about, but if it were me, and the timeline wasn’t too long, I’d simply drag each one to the desired track with snapping on, or else nest them.
Also by
1) highlighting the current track the clips are on
2) going to the beginning of the clip with the playhead (in my system going to the beginning or end of clip is mapped to the up and down arrow keys)
2) making sure the desired track is highlighted and turning all others off
3)cmd-c to copy the clip
4) cmd-v paste it on the desired (highlighted) track at the playhead.
5 rinse and repeat

You could probably cut them instead of copying but it’s always nice to have that safeguard until you are done and delete the xtra clips later

I know this is an old thread, but thank you for your post. I will check into these.

Oh my gosh that’s embarrassing Stan. I swear I looked right at that and didn’t see it. Thank you. I’d been looking at the computer screen for too long at that point working on several projects and probably should have stepped away and looked again later.
Time for a vacation!
Thank you again.

EDIT – Still appears highlighted in the preview. I’ve closed out and restarted to no avail.
I think it’s a better idea to leave things as they are now, personally, but taking it off is what she’s requested.
There’s got to be a way in there somewhere – I’ll have another look over the settings.

Just one update to this. Want to document what I did.
Went into the folder, removed the xmp files and everything that wasn’t the mpeg files, into their own folder. Went back to the project to build the dvd. Built an image, which didn’t return errors. Went into Toast to burn the image. Got a drive error from that. It’s possible also that was a problem with the DVD, not sure.
Put the files back into the folder. Quit Encore. Restarted system. Put in a new DVD.
Built and burned fine.
Bugs, bugs, bugs.

Thank you for this – old post but helped get my project moving this morning. I cannot believe how ridiculously buggy this program is. Lost hours yesterday troubleshooting the Photoshop 1 error, which ended up with me having to go delete layers from the psd menu in Photoshop to get the motion background to work. Not my menu, Encore’s menu.
Really Adobe?
I know it’s been shelved and hopefully there will be a replacement somewhere soon. Thanks again.

Bump.
I have to export these clips out to the final project, has anyone seen this before? Would like to solve this before outputting the clips. Any compression seems to make it worse. The clip when compressed to Mpeg2 for DVD jumped mercilessly. I”m going to try it again though, maybe it was just that particular compression.

Not sure why my earlier post didn’t take, so here it is again. I tried the flicker filter, expecting it to work, but oddly enough it enhanced the flicker. I’ll try to attach the example again. It’s the flicker in the vertical window frame, not the black dip that happens which probably was in the compression.

Anyone out there recognize this mysterious flicker?

[Kell Smith]

Thank you Matt, I am going to try that.
Have you ever experienced this before on overexposed areas? Just curious. I am wondering how to prevent it in the future. There was no way to avoid the window in this particular circumstance, and the overexposure doesn’t look that bad in the shot. The other camera didn’t have this issue so maybe it’s camera-specific.

Oops meant to reply to a different thread … apologies

I know this is an old post but here’s what solved the problem this morning:
I was trying to extend a motion background by adding in one more clip, then adding a cross dissolve. In the first incarnation of the problem, it dipped to black at the cross dissolve. In the second incarnation, it got brighter at the dissolve.
Here’s what solved it:
1) making sure all opacity keyframes were gone from both clips (my main opacity was still at 36 though)
2) making sure the blend modes of the clips matched (I hadn’t gotten to changing it to multiply yet when I dragged in the new clip and was applying the dissolve first).
Hope that’s useful to someone out there.
