Adding Cuts to an Adjustment Layer

I am relatively new to Premiere, having been an Avid editor for the last 20+ years. I need to add cuts to an adjustment layer that correspond to the layer below. Is there an easy way to do this? On the Avid, it is relatively simple, so I was hoping there was an equally simple way in Premiere.

Edit: After reading yor second reply it looks like you want a way to automate that process because you have one long adjustment layer with many edits beneath. Right? Let me look into that.
I'm at a loss for how to do that in the app at this time so you'll probably need to look deeper into that possible xml solution. Let us know what you find as it will be a good thing to know more about.
Perhaps it may be helpful to note that in the NEXT version of PrPro (after 7.2.n) you will be able to apply 'Master Clip Effects' at the source level so perhaps that will help your workflow there. If your workflow is that you have many source instances of relatively few clips, you will be able to apply the effect(s) one time per clip and then have that ripple out to all trimmed instances of the same clip in the timeline. I know that's not exactly what you want and it's not even available yet anyways, but thought you'd want to know.

Adding directional blur to adjustment layer/nested sequence

When adding a directional blur to adjustment layer or a nested sequence in MPE hardware mode the sides get dark (alpha channel shows).
When turning MPE off the issue is gone.
Already submitted a bugreport but found out its MPE hardware.
Seen this issue in a previous version of Premiere. Think it was fixed then, but now its back.
MPE on:
MPE off: this is how it should be.
Can someone test this, and see it its reproducable.

This is how it looks for me when I take a extension with a alpha channel over a simple BG and turn Cuda on then turn Cuda off.
The image above is with GPU acceleration turned on.
This image below this sentence is with software on.
In a way it appears simliar to your findings since when my GPU accleration is turned on you can see a white boarder creeping up from the bottom and top but with it off you don't see it.
However when I turn the blur up higher and try it again I get these results.
GPU On in the image directly below.
GPU off in the image below this sentence.
I'm using the exact same blur settings in both images... In the top image you can see that white is taking over the picture.
This has GPU on in the image below this sentence.
This is Software only on in the pic below this sentence.
Not really sure if this confirms anything for you or not though. Just figured I'd post it cause the issue seemed intresting to me. Anyways though here were my findings.

Adding points to Curves Adjustment Layer in PsCS6 broken?

In CS3, CS4 and CS5 I was able to:
(a) add a point (corresponding to the position of the Eyedropper Tool on the image) to the RGB composite curve by Control + Clicking; and
(b) add a point (whilst focused on the RGB composite curve) to each of the Red, Green and Blue channel curves by Control + Shift + Clicking.
Neither approach seems to work in my CS6 (PsCs6 x64 latest update, on Win 7x64).
Is some kind soul able to tell me the correct key combination to achieve the desired result, or is there truly a problem with CS6 ?

It should be documented here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/curves-adjustment.html
The gist of the above is the on image adjustment tool (targeted adjustment tool) needs to be enabled
(the hand symbol with arrows in the properties panel)
then you just click on the image (no modifier key) to add a point to the composite curve and Ctrl+Shift to add points to the red, green and blue channels.

In Photoshop CC (2014), Hue/Saturation adjustment layer properties disappear

I am running Photoshop CC (2014) under Windows 7 Professional. The program is up to date.
Today, while editing an 8-bit image, I added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Then, in the properties panel for this layer, with the on-image adjustment tool selected, I clicked a color in the image to get a range of colors whose saturation I wanted to adjust. Next, using the saturation slider in the properties panel, I increased the saturation of this range of colors. Finally, I closed the properties panel by clicking on the double arrow in the upper right corner.
Later, I wanted to modify this adjustment layer. I double-clicked on the layer thumbnail to reopen the properties panel, and found that, although the previous increase in saturation was still operating, the saturation slider was back at its default position, and the range of colors that I had previously established was gone. Thus, I could not make further adjustments to this range of colors.
I then did some further experimentation: I deleted the first Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and created a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. I then again established a range of colors as above, again increased the saturation of these colors, and then again closed the properties panel by clicking on the double arrow in the upper right corner. This time, however, when I wanted to try to modify this adjustment layer, instead of double-clicking on the layer thumbnail to reopen the properties panel, I right-clicked on the layer and then clicked on "Edit adjustment..." This opened the properties panel, which, this time, correctly showed my original adjustments -- the saturation slider showed the positive adjustment that I had previously made, and the range of colors established earlier was still shown. But then, on a hunch, I added a Curves adjustment layer above the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Now, when I again opened the properties panel of the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (by right-clicking on the layer and then clicking on "Edit adjustment..."), my previous settings were gone -- the saturation slider was at its default position and the range of colors was gone! (But the increase in saturation was still operating.)
Thus, it appears that there is a bug in the functioning of the properties panel of the Hue/Saturation layer: In short, once you have added a further adjustment layer, you can't then go back and make changes to the properties of the Hue/Saturation layer. I would be interested to hear if others have noticed this. Also, is Adobe planning to address this?

OK, I am not entirely sure I have understood your post completely, but when you edit a colour range with a Hue/Sat layer, and click off and back on again, it will default to showing the RGB values, which you may not have made any adjustment to. If you pick the previous colour from the image, or a similar colour, it _will_ show you the adjustments. So long as your picked colour is contained within the range of the previous adjustment.
Ypu could also use the RGB drop down (actually they call it Master nowadays), and chose the colour that is closest to your previously picked colour. I expect you are away that you can edit the colour range being operated on by dragging the four sliders on the two colour bars at the bottom of the Properties panel.
Does that make sense, or am I going in the wrong direction?

PS not allowing me to add a Black & White Adjustment layer

Hi,
Hope you're well.
There is a photo I've downloaded from the Internet that is by a photographer who shoots in Black & White. However, when I print out the photo it comes out sepia. I tried adding a Black & White Adjustment layer, but when I go to click on the button in the adjustment palette it's grayed out. I've tried this on other photos of the photographer and does it fine.
Any idea what is going on and how it can be resolved? Thanks!

Well, let's assume you are in Grayscale. But just to be sure, open the image and look at the document title bar, it should read something like Gray/8. This indicates your color mode (other modes can be RGB, CMYK, Index and others...). The color settings are found Edit>Color Settings. But don't worry about those for the time being.
Can you give the specs for your printer? Inkjet printers use all colors in printing a grayscale image. Ideally, they do this in percentages that create a neutral tone on the paper. If some of the nozzles are clogged, or if you have wrong choices in the Print Dialog, you will definitely see a color cast. Printing only with black ink will not yield photo-quality results.
Make sure the most recent driver for the printer is installed.
Also, what version of Photoshop on what OS?

I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!

What does that mean? Alpha channel? I added an adjustment layer, black and white effects to my entire video. Now its only letting me export as AAF. It's also asking me whether to "embed audio" or "save as legacy file". What in the world does that mean and what should I choose? This is just a draft to show to client.

Ann, when I go to Export, I only get "AAF" and "Final Cut Pro XML" options...I don't see "Media" so that I can choose my options. In one movie, I have an adjustment layer on top of all movie. To make the movie black and white.
But another movie is just plain. And still I get only "AAF".
The first tim I went to export this movie, regular, I exported as .mov Now it's not letting me do that. What's going on? I have to show this to my boss in few hours...
Thank you so much.

[Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

How to add "edits" to an adjustment layer, corresponding to cuts in a flattened timeline below?

I have a very complex music video edit. Hundreds of cuts. I'm not a colorist by trade, so I don't really know how much I like the idea of using speedgrade right now... having to export to dpx format, not being able to conveniently make changes after the color correction (which I do every time), learning a new interface, etc.
So, I want to try to do thigns within premiere if possible. The way I'd like to do this is by throwing my grades on adjustment layers for each edit / clip. However, I do not want to add and trim 500 adjustment layers, one for each edit.
Is there a way to add one adjustment layer, extend it over the entire timeline, and then just paste in all the edit points somehow? To chop the adjustment layer up exactly as my video is chopped up below it? The footage underneath is flattned and ready to grade.

I guess I'll just add that I managed to accompolish this, by just over and over using the shortcuts, "add edit to all tracks" and jumping to "next edit" over and over. Took a few minutes, and made a few slices through my video clips that I didn't have before, but it got the job done relatively quickly, albeit in a round-about sort of way.
Case closed, I guess, unless anyone knows of a better way to do this.

Adding to the selection of a current hue/saturation adjustment layer?

I made a selection on a car, used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to change that selected color, though I went and used the Magic Wand to add more to my selection and that new part of the selection is not affected by the previous Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. How is this done? Do I have to make a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer for the added selection Using Cs5.
Thanks.

There's selection of the color range the Hue/Saturation layer will work on. That's controlled by the little sliders that appear when you choose, for example, "Reds". You can do things like widen or narrow the range of colors included, as well as widen or narrow the ramps defining how much that colors near the edges of the ranges will be affected.
There's also the possibility that you defined a layer mask when making the Hue/Saturation layer, which will define which pixels in the image will be affected. If so, you need to click on the layer mask in the Layers panel and paint on it (white to choose which parts the Hue/Saturation layer will work on, black to choose which parts not to work on). You can, of course, paint grayscale on the layer mask to have certain pixels partially affected.
Hope this helps.

Image not appearing after adding adjustment layer?

My image layer isn't showing after adding an adjustment layer. I'm trying to turn a JPG picture of a nuclear explosion into a 3D/Camera effect.
I've added one solid layer below the JPG which is just grey. The JPG is in the middle. The adjustment layer is on top, with Colorama Get phase/Add phase from alpha channel. Plus turbulnce display added.
Whats going on? Or am I meant to do something else to the JPG first?

I figured out what was wrong- it just didn't appear in the static preview, but it was fine when I clicked composition>Preview. Is this how it looks normally?
I was attempting to make a weird 3D spinning pictures of nuclear explosions and bombs which panned/zoomed in and out of the images.

Adding a curves adjustment layer

In CS5:
is there any difference to adding a curves adjustment layer from the adjustment panel or the layers panel?
Thanks.

Doing it from the Layer Panel’s pop-up menu creates a Curves Layer and opens the Adjustments Panel if it is not open yet, so apart from the different triggering itself I see no difference.

CS6 Adjustment layer adding or subtracting area

In CS6 The Clone Stamp tool no longer works to expand the size of an adjustment layer. How do we do it now? Thanks

You’ll get a laugh out of this. I went back to the original image in RAW and the area of the tree to the left of the church was originally very dark on top, but lower down it was significantly lighter. Just the reverse of what you’d think it should be. I kept trying to add it to the area of the adjustment layer and it already was added. The effect of trying to lighten it was not possible because it was too dark without it being a separate layer. Sometimes you just have to go back to the original. Oh Well.

Adjustment Layer or fill layer for Effects

I have seen this question asked but not answered. I want to be able to apply and effect such as Boris or Sapphire across multiple clips. In AE this can be done with and adjustment layer in Avid by simply dropping the clip on an empty layer. I have seen it suggest that a sequence created with clips to be effect then cut back into the master sequence and then apply the effects. Must be a better way. Any sugestions?

Glad to have added some drama to the forum! But It keeps getting said that I don't care for the answer. I am glad for the answer but a little turned off by how some of you seem to feel it is necessary to respond. I asked a simple question and didn't need a lecture on how FCP is not Avid or AE, Duh!
I had done a quick search of the forums and had not found the answer to my question. I had read about nesting and wanted to know if this was in fact the best way to handle apply effects across multiple elements, seems it is. I also wanted to see if anybody else dealt with fx in a different way. I have been editing long enough and in enough different environments to know that no matter what program is being used you can find a number of editors doing good work with a number of different styles and techniques.
Am I not wrong when I say that nesting a single layer of video in order to apply fx is cumbersome? I do this kind of work a lot and and I end up making many revisions and yes I would prefer not to have to step into a nest in order to change my cut. Is that bitchy?
In the future please no advice. Who are you? My dad?

Adjustment Layer Crashes Premiere or Damages Project

Nearly every time I have tried to use an adjustment layer in Premiere Pro CS6, the application has hung if I tried to scrub through the video. Yesterday I decided to try placing an adjustmnet layer and only using the play function rather than scrubbing and it seemed to work alright. However, this morning premiere will no longer open the project file. Instead it give me the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." This is an extremely heinous bug! Can anyone help or is this feature really just unusable?!!
Additionally, because I was so fastidious about saving, given the previous crashes, the only functioning autosave is 6 hours out of date!
HELP!

I use ALs a lot, and haven't yet seen this behavior.
Have you added any effects to the AL? Does scrubbing work OK without the AL?

Cross-dissolve from white frame to adjustment layer no longer works in CC 2014

Windows 7, Premiere Pro CC 2014
I have a video clip in a nested sequence on V1 and an adjustment layer on V2.
I want to dissolve from a white frame to the clip using the adjustment layer.
In PP CC (not 2014) this was simple:
Starting with a white PNG graphic on V2, cross-dissolve to the adjustment layer.
However, in PP CC 2014, this causes a dissolve to BLACK over the duration of the dissolve and then a CUT to the video.
This behavior in CC 2014 is illogical. Why has it changed?
There are other ways to do this, but this one was quick and easy, and is required for hundreds of clips in existing sequences / projects.
Response from support via live chat:
thank you for your patience
the adjustment is layer is not functioning properly
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
please mention it in the feature/bug request form

For me with a color matte it shows exactly the same behavior as with a PNG.
You're dissolving between the matte and the adjustment layer on V2?
