You put the deck or camera into play and then press the Now button. Nothing at all happens? Have you tried trashing your preferences?

It might be helpful to have full specs on your computer, OS, QT version, FCE version, drives, camera or deck, how everything is connected and what settings are on the media and what settings you’re using in FCE.

All the best,

There is the Replace button, the Replace edit overlay, the keyboard shortcut. These replace clips with frame accurate precision, which is what you want in an editing application.

All the best,

It’s pretty simple to do, multiple layers of video stacked on top of each other. There was a tutorial on exactly how to do that open in the FCP3 edition of my book “Final Cut Pro Editing Workshop.”

All you need to do is to go to the Apple web site and look on their list of certified instructors.

If the actual PAR of a clip is different, and you copy the clip, when you go to paste attributes into a new clip, the Distort function is not available. It’s only available if the Aspect Ratio of the clip has been changed in the Motion tab.

PAR is not an available function in Paste Attributes. You can select a group of clips in the browser and in PAR column use the shortcut menu to change them.

If the clip has had its aspect ratio distorted (by being put in sequence of the wrong settings for instance) then you paste attributes using the distort function. Same for remove attributes.

All the best,

This is kind of basic stuff.

Nest the sequence and apply the Timecode Generator filter to the nest.

All the best,
