Automate to Sequence - Set To Unnumbered Markers

I'm using Premier Pro CS3 on a Windows XP machine. I've found that if I select the "Sequentially" Placement Option under "Automate to Sequence" the other option (Set to Unnumbered Markers)in the drop-down box completely disappears (not just grayed out but gone from the program). It doesn't re-appear with a re-boot. The only way to get it to come back is to first, find the Adobe Preferences file buried deep under the users tree and then delete it. I've had to do this several times and it works. I've recently installed CS3 on a brand new workstation (the one described above) and the problem has continued, a new problem is, now I can't locate the Adobe Preferences file anywhere on the machine so I'm unable to delete it.
Is this a problem that Adobe is 1)aware of, and 2)working on.
Are there any work-arounds?
I use/need the "Set to Unnumbered Markers" frequently and hate wasting time chasing the rabbit when it runs away.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jeff.
I just found that out the hard way trying to troubleshoot someone's problems on the phone.
Seems you have to locate the ...\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0 folder in your user area and delete/change the name of the 3.0 folder nowadays to restart the many individual files that hold all the preferences nowadays.
Looks like a useful folder to which to create a shortcut on the desktop to save having to keep looking for it if you have problems.
For Tom: I guess it's the same with CS3, but with earlier versions the Preferences files were not replaced by a re-install of the program (nor deleted by the uninstall). Logic being that they are created if not there - so if they are there already the old ones are re-used. So you do need to deal with the preferences files to sort corruptions to the user interface or whatever, and a reinstall is unlikely to fix the problem.

Automate To Sequence - "Placement" box do not open "unnumbered markers" option

Hi all,
I tried to place photos in a Sequence automatically by pressing
the Automate To Sequence button .
I want to place the photos at the unnumbered sequence markers that I had already marked .
the problem is that the "Placement" box do not open this option.
It opens only the "Sequentially" option.
I have used this feature before in PPRO 2.0 and it was OK then.
Please help,
Miky

Here's a suggestion from a user named Jusko that worked for me:
Delete the pref file --- C:\Users\user id\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
then, the "At Unnumbered Markers" option will appear again.
On my PC the file path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Sid\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
Meanwhile, in case I run into this again, I've copied my latest good config file so I can fall back on it after deleting the corrupted one.
Something else that works is to log in as a different user. Either way, you will need to update your preferences (path to scratch files, etc.)
Here's a link to another discussion of the same problem:

Placement "At Unnumbered Markers" disappeared

I wanted to make a slideshow to synchronize to the music. But I don't know whether my method is right or not.
I did that by inserting some unnumbered markers according to the beat of the music. Then imported some photo files and wanted to automate them to the unnumbered markers. But in the "placement" of the Automate to Sequence dialogue box, there was only the "Sequentially" option and no "At Unnumbered Markers" option for me to choose.
Am I missing something ? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
jusko

Jusko,
I agree, it is definitely a bug, I just hope to not stumble on revealing it again. Meanwhile, I got an email from tech support:
"I understand that the #at numbered markers# option is not available when using the #automate to sequence# feature.
I see that by creating a new user account, that you have resolved this
issue. That#s great news. Often times problems in software is the result
of corrupted permissions on a user account. I recommend that you
continue to work under the new account."
I like your idea better. I'd rather delete a file than create a new user ID every time I run into this problem. Meanwhile, I've copied my latest good config file so I can fall back on it after deleting the corrupted one.
As an aside, here's the path to the config file on my PC:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Sid\Desktop\Adobe CS3\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3".
Thanks again for all your help!

Audio track does not appear using Automate To Sequence

When I use the Automate to Sequence feature after arranging clips in a Bin, none of the associated audio files show up in Audio 1 but the video clips do show up in Video 1. When I do this on other computers it works fine. (This is a classroom setting.)

Start reading on mono and stereo tracks and project setup.

Sequence Setting Effect

So I have a timespan that I shot in 108060i on my XH-A1.
I want to slowly zoom into the shot as the timespan takes place.
So basically I was just wondering how could I take my HDV108060i footage and import it into
a sequence setting @ HD720 so that I can zoom on the 108060i footage with out affecting the quality!
Does that make sense? Who knows this answer Holmes?

So I have a timespan that I shot in 108060i on my XH-A1.
So you mean time-lapse? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-lapse
So basically I was just wondering how could I take my HDV108060i footage and import it into a sequence setting @ HD720 so that I can zoom on the 108060i footage with out affecting the quality!
So drop the the 1080 source into your 720 timeline and FCP will automatically scale down the footage to fit ... so now if you keyframe a change in scale back up to a maximum of 100% then it won't affect the quality!

Sequence setting changed in mid edit.

Is it possible to chance the sequence setting after you've begun to edit? I'm pretty sure my sequence automatically conformed to the footage when I began. Everything was normal and when I got to the end it was pixelated. the sequence setting is 720x480. I don't know what i did.

Perhaps the items towards the end of your Sequence need to be rendered because they:
Use a different codec.
Are large .jpeg images with movement.
Use filters which do not play back at full quality.
Easy to tell. Do you have a colored line above the clips on the Timeline?

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
OSX 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Duncan.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

Audio tracks missing when doing automate to sequence.

Using PMW200 with 4 audio tracks. When dragging single file to timeline I get the 4 audio tracks. But when I do an automate to sequence, I only get 1 audio track, plus, the default audio transition is not going on.
I have all the tracks highlighted and have ticked apply audio and video transitions.
Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks
Mike Ward

Hi Kevin. I uploaded a clip onto you tube for you to try, but you tube mixed the audio tracks so it was useless.
Basically, drag any video clip with 4 audio tracks recorded from camera onto timeline in cs6, and all audio tracks appear on the timeline. But automate several similar tracks to timeline and only one audio track gets added. The other 3 do not appear. Is there a work around for this, rather than dragging all on one at a time.
Thanks

What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only. I have two questions:
1. What should I use for the sequence settings? Should I edit with a HD sequence setting?
2. I am going to scan the pics myself. What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality? I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

Final Cut Pro: Sequence Setting Question

I would like to know what the best sequence setting is for my FCP project.
In my project I mostly use digital still images, shot with a digital camera. I import images into FCP and directly drag them onto a sequence.
JPEG file dimensions 3488x2616
For making stop motion animation, the duration of each frame is extremely short, usually 00:00:00;03.
If the project is 60 seconds, it usually ends up with about 550 or more still images on a sequence.
What should be the appropriate sequence setting for it?
Frame Size: currently set for NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: currently set for NTSC-CCIR601/DV (720x480)
Quicktime Video Settings/Compressor: currently set for DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
in the Advanced field/Frame per Second: currently set for 29.97
Are these settings need to be made before editing the project or could setting changes still be applied to a finished project?
Any advice would be appreciated!!

Hi Tom,
I export QT movie and make it into a DVD using DVD studio pro.
I was trying to learn about the ProRes the other day but there are many kinds and could not figure out what the best one is for me.
Which prores preset could I use? and could I still change it even the project is done editing?
Many thanks!

No Automatic Processor Performance Setting

I am the new owner of a refurbished 17" Powerbook G4, 1.67GHZ, Dual Layer Superdrive. On my previous Powerbooks, in the energy saver control panel there always was the option for Automatic Processor Performance Setting, where one could set the processor to reduced, automatic or highest. On this new machine, there is no Automatic Processor Performance Setting! Any explanation?

Automate to sequence without transitions?

I am using stills in a bin and I rearrange the order of them and then use automate to sequence though it keeps adding transitions between the images, and maybe I'm missing the option to turn this off, though I do not see it. Working in cs6, thanks in advance.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.
