Audio Track Selection and Moving issue

Hi there,
I have come across an issue in Premiere Pro since the 7.1 update and we are now using the 7.2 update and the same problem is still present here.
Occasionaly, and increasingly, we are unable to select a clip in Premiere Pro (sometimes this is video but mostly it affects audio). When this happens we cannot do anything to the clip whether it's audio or video. We can;t move it in the timeline, add effects to it or anything. It appears that saving the project then closing and reopening solves the issue but it is happening every 10 minutes so this simply isn't a suitable workaround.
Anyone aware of anything that could be causing this or indeed having the same problem?
Be really grateful for any help provided.
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for your swift reply Jim.
It seems to occur on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro though and with various projects so unless all my projects are corrupt then I would have said it was more a software issue. We use a Razar Mouse which I thought might have been causing an issue but it is also present with the Apple trackpad.
Literally all we can do is select the clip and drag in new clips but after that we can't even nudge it up or down, ripple edit, trim, move or anything? Occasionally, it seems to work again but then quickly starts playing tricks on me again. It seems though that adding an effect to the clip seems to solve the issue???
I will try uninstalling Premiere and then reinstalling from CC to see if that helps following the update. Failing that how about Safe Booting my Macs and running the repair permissions operation? Additionally, trashing the preerences in Premiere?
Cheers for your help.

Adding Menue Audio Track selection and soubtitles on/off

Hi,
with some help from replies to other questions I managed to get a working DVD/BR with cool 2.0 / 5.1 sound and subtitles.
But for now I do have to select the audio track manually and also I do have to enable subtitles from the DVD/BR players menu.
So I wanted to add a DVD/BR menu where you can choose the audio track which should be played and to switch on and of subtitles.
I edited a nice PS PSD File with some buttons and they show up in Encore and I can do some "encore" editig like moving tham arrond or link to some other elements.
My question: How do I get e.g. the Button "2.0 Stereo" to select the stereo track and the button "5.1 Surround" to select the 5.1 track. An other button should switch on/off the right subtitle
Than I'd like to have a button which starts the video with the selected audio and if selected subtitle on.
At the end of the movie I like to be back in the menu.
I bet thats simple
I thought to create different timelines and add the audio/video/subtitle, but that i have a lot of timelines in all sort of combinations; e.g. video ON, 5.1 sound ON, subtitle OFF ..... video ON, 2.0 sound ON, subtitle ON etc ....
Thansk for any suggestion . and BIG thanks. Götz

Thanks for your posting, but there is the higlight Layer.
I opend the menue in photoshot once more and enabled the layers.
For me a button has the following different states:
Normal, no highlight,just "plain" text. e.g. "English Subtitle". in that state, the Subtitle is NOT selected/enabled.
Mouse Over, the highlight shows up, so you can see where you are with your mouse. e.g. "English Subtitle √"
Mouse left click, the highlight "sticks" to the menue item and when moving the mouse avay it is still highlighted, e.g. "English Subtitle √"
So I'd liked to indicate which audio track is enabled/selected and if subtitles are off or on.
I thought, the highlight button states are markend with (=1) & (=3) ....
BTW. in encore menue edit mode, if I click the show selected/activated Subpicture Highlight, the right layer shows up (with my √-symbol)
But in preview mode or on a burned dvd this did not work

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

Audio track 1 and 2 not lined up??? help!!

When you put clip in timeline they go on 2 audio tracks for some reason. well, i must have deleted something I shouldn't have because 1/4 way through movie the 2 audio tracks are not directly lined up with one another. for some reason the bottom track says +15. I tried to undo but you are openly allowed 10-15 or so 'undo's" and I must have made error long time ago and not noticed. Then I tried to lock the audio track 1 for my video clip and move the audio track 2 directly underneath it but it won't let me. Even when audio track 2 is unlocked I cannot move audio track 1 for same movie clip.
When I play my movie the dialogue is not synced anymore. Can I fix this?
suggestions?

I have been told by a friend to re-do my entire movie from the point the audio track 1 and audio track 2 have become displaced. If anyone in the Apple community can help me I would appreciate it.
I find it hard to believe that when audio track 1 and audio track 2 become displaced there is not an easy way to line them up again. Since 80% of my movie has an audio track 2 clip that has a red icon with + 15 on it it seems to suggest that audio track 2 is 15 frames off of audio track 1. (Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 are from the same video clip)
So I have about 20% of my movie clips that have lined up Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 and then all of a sudden the audio track 1 and audio track 2 are not lined up. So I hear an echo to every actor who states dialogue because audio track 1 "says the line" and then of course audio track 2 which is not lined up "says the line" a few seconds later.
If anyone can answer this question you will save me about 10-15 hours of work. Thank you!
Your friend is, umm, to be kind, ignorant.
There is an easy way. Right click on the red icon and select slip into sync.
The most likely explanation is that you have deactivated the link function of the timeline. It is a small chain link icon in the right upper corner of the timeline button bar.
Since you are having so many problems associated with yoru project's audio, I strongly urge you to learn how to increment your project on a daily basis so you have an intact version history (no, I'm not going to explain that to you) and be absoltuey CERTAIN you understand how the auotsave vault works and how to recover your project if you need to.

Trouble selecting and moving objects near text in Adobe Illustrator? Try this.

It's been 4 years since I left Corel DRAW for Adobe Illustrator. One thing I could never get used to is the crazy way text has an impenetrable invisible sheet over it making it hard to select objects near or behind it.
With Corel DRAW I was used to be able to select text by simply clicking on the visible area of the text. Selecting stuff behind the text by clicking between letters or right next to a decender was never a problem. But Illustrator is a different story.
Tonight I finally found a way to make selecting text in Illustrator behave more like Corel DRAW.
I wrote it up here: http://www.johnstanowski.com/blog/trouble-selecting-and-moving-objects-near-text-in-adobe- illustrator-try-this/
Just thought I'd share!

It's not spam, but thanks for assuming.
I was up really late writing that blog post. Posting a link was the quickest way to share and be able to go to bed.
Plus it's rather lengthy. I thought that would be rude to use an Adobe forum for my articles.
If you saw my blog you will have seen there's not much going on there at all, and no calls to action to hire me. I don't have anything to gain by getting traffic.
And, yeah, layers work for selecting, but that slows you down. Who would want to look away from their work to find and select a layer when they're trying to tweak positions of objects? Layers suck for selecting quickly.
And there must be something wrong with me but I find using Type Object Selection by Path Only by itself hard to use. I'd really just like to click on the text itself rather than an invisible hairline you have to probe to find.
Here's the post. I hope people who had trouble like me find it helpful.
Do you have trouble selecting objects near Point Type in Adobe Illustrator? You’ve been there. You want to select an object. Problem is, it’s really close to piece of Point Type. All too often we try to select objects that wind up being unreachable because they lie too close to a piece of Point Type, which we wind up selecting instead. Luckily, after years of angst, I discovered a solution.
Point Type in Adobe Illustrator is funny. There’s this invisible “shield” around it. This shield is much larger (at least it seems that way) than the text itself. It prevents you from selecting objects behind text by clicking between letter and words. This shield is particularly meddlesome with lowercase letters and decenders because we think surely we can click on that blue box (or whatever) because it seems far enough away from that Point Type. But the lowercase “g” in the Point Type’s territory.
Okay, now that we know we’re talking about the same thing, let’s move on to the solutions.
Step 1. Check ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ in Preferences
You’ll find this option in Preferences/Type. Click it and that nasty text shield goes away. But there’s a price to pay. With this option activated, the only way you can select your text is by clicking on the text path, a super, tiny, thin baseline thingy under all the letters, but above decenders. It’s really hard to grab. To do it right you need to slowly approach the text path with your cursor. When you’re right over it, Illustrator will let you know by adding a small black square to your cursor. Now, you can click, hold and move your text. But this workflow can really slow you down and break your rhythm, maybe even more so with it turned off.
Step 2. Add the ‘Outline Object’ Effect
Select your Point Type and, from under the Effects Menu/Path/, select Outline Object. This effect does something really sweet to text in Illustrator: it lets your Point Type objects be treated as if their were converted to Outlines. You can still edit the text, but as far as selecting it, Illustrator now considers it outlines and shapes instead of a text object. Basically, it now considers the Path of the text to be the text itself! Now, since we’ve already checked ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ we can now click on the text to select it. Just the text. Not the baseline, not the wacky invisible shield surrounding it.
And now… you can select things behind the text by clicking between words and letters. And the ONLY way to select Point Type is to click on the visible parts of the text itself! Problem solved.
Potential Problem:
Too much of a good thing could be a bad thing. Let’s say you have some Point Type set in a very light face and it’s pretty small or you’re zoomed way out. Selecting that text could be a problem since you have to actually click on the text itself. Actually it isn’t that hard, it may just require an extra click to grab it. If you have a set of smaller, light-faced bits of text, you can elect to just not apply the Outline Object effect to these. They’ll get their ‘shield’ back and be easier to click on. And since they’re so small, they don’t pose a problem with selecting things behind them anyway.
Applying this technique to your old files
Now that you’ve learned this awesome new way to work around type in Illustrator, you may be anxious to open yesterday’s project and get back to work. But you may be not be looking forward to applying the Outline Object effect to each and every piece of type. For this you can use Illustrator’s “Select Same” feature. Select one piece of text. Then from the Select Menu click on Object/Text Objects. Now ALL of your text objects will be selected, and you can apply the Outline Object effect to all of them at once!
That’s it. If you build ads or work with a lot of type in Illustrator, you’re about to be able to work a lot faster… and happier.

Video and Audio Track Selection

Is there any quick way to do this? Nothing in the keyboard shortcuts menu that seems close to "Sleect Video Track 1", "Select Audio Track 1", etc. Is it only achieveable with a mouse? Thanks all.

I have made custom keyboard shortcuts for video and audio tracks using Toggle Track.
I use numbers 1 to 7 for Video and Shift 1-7 for Audio.
In conjunction with Mouse clicking and shift mouse clicking on tracks..does all that I need.

Separating audio Tracks 1 and 2 in Final Cut Pro 6

Hello, So this may seem like a easy question but for some reason I'm having trouble.
I am editing a project with two audio tracks. Track 1 is a lav microphone and track 2 is (back up) boom mic.
All of track 1 is great with the wireless mic so I want to get rid of track 2 and duplicate track 1 and make that new track 2.
I've done this before and never had any problems but now I can't disconnect the two tracks. If one is locked then the other will not
delete. They are stuck together and will not do anything independently.
I'm curious what I'm missing.
If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
J-

Click on the audio tracks in the timeline to select them, then go to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair to toggle if you want them to behave as a stereo pair or not (you do not).

Selecting and moving many messages not working - try sorting by message classes

I posted this a while back, and have an update now.
I file my sent items. Call me crazy, but I like to at the end of every quarter, move sent items from that quarter into sub folders. It's usually 2-4000 items, and ever since I installed OL2010, I have had weird issues when trying to clean my Sent items.
Example: Select 2000 items, sorted by date from Sent Items. Drag and drop to my 2009Q4 folder. It then prompts me "Creating a new item from the selected items could take some time. Are you sure you want to create a new item from these 2000 items?"
So I figured possible Ctrl is stuck down or something, so I right click, Move, select the folder. Same issue.
I start selecting smaller data sets. I got to about 50-60 items at a time that I was able to move and not get that message. I got frustrated and stopped working on it.
This morning, I decided to re-test this. Same issue presents itself. So instead, I sorted by message class. I was able to select 3800 message items. The remaining items were messages with attachments, text/mobile messages, and calendar invite responses.
It appears that some combination of selecting multiple message classes was triggering my issue. I suspect the newest of them, the mobile messages to be the issue, so I deleted them, and retried, nope, same error, even selecting only the show message class types. Would like to see this fixed, of course, and will be sending a frown with the link to this thread as well.
Chris

I had this problem too. For me, simply sorting by message class, then finding all the calendar items and moving them first, then going back and doing the rest, allowed me to move them as I liked.   However, its not clear to me that I have
all message classes (not sure what they all are), so it could be there are other message classes that cause problems when you move "mixed classes".   I do think this is an MS Outlook bug, but not clear anyone has reported it to MS. ;-<
You can prove this by simply selecting a calendar item and a msg, and try moving the two. You will have this issue.
However, you'd think that MS itself would be a vast user of MS Outlook and if we're discovering this, you'd think MS internal folks are too, so I'm deferring to them to self-resolve.   Until then, I'll just use this workaround.
Definition of "Message classes" for others reading this... You may have already inferred, but two examples of "classes" are a normal email (.msg) and a calendar item. You can sort these by clicking on the "icon" field at the top of your email
folder, just to the right of the "bell" (Reminders).   Not sure how to put a .JPG in this posting, since a picture would explain this much better than I can using words.

AE and Computer- Audio dropping out and stuttering issues

Hi all,
I recently bought an Airport Express 2 weeks ago. I hooked the unit up in my bedroom via ethernet(roaming) method. I use Airplay and turn on Computer and Airport Express to play both in my living room and my bedroom at the same time. Problem is I'm noticing my iTunes in my living room exhibits some stuttering during songs or the audio will start to drop out intermittently and sometimes shuts off completely but the Airport Express is still playing in my bedroom without issue. I've tried turing off the wireless but it doesn't do anything. When I turn off AE in Airplay and just play using the Computer it works fine. I'm not sure what can be causing the interference but it seems its between my computer and AE when they are both turned on. I would appreciate any suggestions forum members have to help me resolve this issue. I have the 2nd generation AE. Thanks a lot.

Hi Macthemini,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with AirPlay between iTunes on a Mac mini and your AirPort Express. The following resource outlines troubleshooting issues for AirPlay performance:
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203822
Troubleshooting performance issues
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

Separate Audio Track Selection Menu

So i'm working on a fitness video, Which has a dialogue audio track and a music audio track. I've made 2 audio files, one stereo mix with both music and dialogue. and another mono track with just dialogue. The point is so that people working out at home can choose between using the default music, or using their own music live playing from another source. So what i have created so far, is just a main menu, that has a play button that plays the show with the main stereo track. What i want to do, is create a sub menu with the 2 choices, "without music, or with music" and once you click them it brings you back to the main menu, where you have to click the play main movie button. I could spend a bunch of time trying to tinker around and figure this out. But if someone could just guide me in the right direction that would be fantastic.

Duplicate your "main menu" and call it "No Music Menu". Now when you go to your sub menu, have the button for "no music" target to the "No Music Menu"
Create a new track that is your "No Music Track".
On your "No Music Menu" select the Play button and change its target to your "No Music Track".

Selecting and moving clips to the right of the TCI

Is there a way to be able to move the editted clips that are to the right of my current TCI, and keep the edits as they are?
I'm looking for a ripple delete with more control if that makes sense. My old editting software had a group tool which alowed me to make a cut and move every edit to the right, to exactly where I wanted to move them. I tried using the track select, but it only works on the track I drag, even if I select more than one track.

I'm not sure what the tool is called--I call it the "A-Tool" because you hit "A" to get it to come up. Anyway, hit "A" on your keyboard and shift+click on the left-most clip that you want to move, and it will select that clip and all clips to the right of it, on all tracks. Then you can move them over. If you don't shift+click, but just click, it will select only the clips on the single track.

Core Audio Track Selection ?

Hi
In Logic 7 I used to be able click and hold on an audio instrument track in the arrange page and a pop up menu/list of all the audio instrument channels would appear allowing me to choose whichever channel/instrument I wanted. Now in Logic 8 it seems I have to keep adding tracks in order to get to what I want ...
eg: The last track is Inst6 , but I want to use Inst 24, and the only way I can do it is to keep pressing the "New with next Channel Strip/Intrument" option to get to 24 ..by which time theres also a pile of empty tracks (inst 7-23)which I then have to delete .... Surely its something obvious but I cant find it.
Also my "Core Audio" option in Inspector is greyed out ?
Can anybody help ?
thanks
Paul

Press 'control' while clicking on the instrument or audio track you want to change. you get 2 options,
the first of which is 'reassign track object' - move across and you'll see all the options are there
available to you.

Multiple Bluetooth speakers - selecting and naming issues

I've recently added a pair of Bluetooth speakers to what had been an all AirPlay setup (5 AX units, 4 Ethernet, 1 wireless). Now I've added a pair of Bluetooth speakers and I'm having some issues in using them
iPhone 5 running 7.1
The two Bluetooth speakers are the same brand, so they are displayed identically
Is it possible to rename these using the iphone so they have unique names?
Bigger problem is in selecting which speaker I want to use at point in time. The iPhone doesn't give an option to not use a speaker. It seems to select the speaker on its own -- only option offered is to "forget" the speaker. I don't want to have to discover the speaker each time I go to use it. Is there a way to tell the iphone which speaker I want to use? Only work around I have found is to turn off the speaker I don't want to use
Is there a better way?
Thx, Carlos

Just bumping in case anyone has thoughts
Thx

Logitech harmony 650 remote Select and Menu issues

Programed my Harmony 650 to work with ATV G2 and noticed that you have to hold down the select button for 2-3seconds in order for it to tell ATV to select.
Also the Menu button is way to sensitive, seems if your directed to the top menu level just by clicking the menu button.
Any reasons why?

I've just set my Harmony 650 up with my ATV (3rd gen) and ran into the same issue. Turns out it's because I had the original ATV remote paired so it was ignoring the commands. To fix this:
-Using the original remote, navigate to Saettings->General->Remotes and select "Unpair Apple Remote"
-Using the harmony (which should now be able to control the ATV, check by navigating up and down) select "Pair Apple Remote"
Hope this helps someone

Selecting and Moving Groups in iPhoto 6

This problem only started happening after upgrading to iPhoto 6 and the new iLife suite. In prior versions, I never encountered this problem regardless of the version of the system software (Panther or Tiger).
When I go to the iPhoto Library on my G5 Tower running Panther with iPhoto 6, and create a folder or slideshow and then attempt to move continuous groups of images into the folder, either by clicking on a single image, then hold down the SHIFT key and click a continuous group or OPTION to select discontinuous images and then try to drag them into the newly created folder, action is not allowed. Since iPhoto 6, I cannot perform this basic operation. The application will not allow me to drag a group of seelcted images into a folder or slideshow. I MUST drag each photo individually. Not a good prospect.
One work around (but illogical to this problem) is to select a group of images and then select "New Album from Selection" under the FILE menu, however that is not a true solution to broken software, it is merely a work around. And it doesn't always work to only create a folder at the moment of wanting to group a whole bunch of images together for a slideshow. Groups do need to be added after the fact of the folders creation.
iPhoto 6 is also incredibly slow and unresponsive on this G5 when it should absolutely rip with speed. I've turned Sharing off but that doesn't seem to help anything. I've tried to look for a setting somewhere in the iPhoto 6 preferences to rebuild the thumbnails and I don't see that setting anywhere.

Robb:
Where did you install the Helvetica font? In the System font folder or in your User/Library/Fonts folder? In your case I think I'd opt for the User location. Then, with Font Book, activated it, then deactivate and reactivate. See if that won't get it to stick.
You might show this Apple KB document to your IT people. It lists which are the required fonts for Macs : Mac OS X 10.4: Fonts list. Helvetica is listed as one of the system fonts that should not be disabled.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
