Can I merge/delete clip duplicates in project window after importing sequences?

hi, I have to import several sequences from another premiere pro project. Some of them rely on the same material - but premiere imports for each sequence all clips in separate folders. So I tried to delete the duplicates but premiere told me it's needed for a sequence. How can I tell premiere that these clips are the same? I have already 3000 clips in the project without the duplicates and it's getting confusing with another couple hundreds of duplicate clips flying around.
Thanks for your help,
Gertrud
Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on Win7

I don't know of any way to clean up this project, but in the future, don't import the project, just import the sequence. That will not create duplicates.

Why can't we delete clips from previous projects when I start a new project?

We have tried eveything... but there is a red line above the clips and they will not delete or move to the trash or anything. please help.

Thanks for the follow up.
Unfortunately, if you want to see the new project dialog at the start of each new Premiere Elements 11 or 12 project, you are going to have to open a new project and go to File Menu/New/Project each time to get the new project dialog. All this before you import your source media.
I have never seen what you describe
The very first time I used the software, I was presented with the settings box, probably to establish the defaults.
By setting box are you specifically referring to the new project dialog that you worked with in version 9.0/9.0.1?
This automatic setting of the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 project preset based on the first video drag to the Timeline is great in principle; however, it does have its shortcomings. When it is wrong, it does not give you the closest to what you should have. It gives you its default NTSC AVCHD Full 1080i30 or its PAL counterpart. In versions earlier than 11, the default project preset is NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart.
My blog post on the Premiere Elements 11 (also applies to 12) project preset automatic set may be of interest.

There is no workaround that I have found to give Premiere Elements 11 and 12 that earlier than 11 project preset handling.
Please let us know if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

How Can I Safely Delete a RoboHelp 9 Project?

I am learning/evaluating RoboHelp 9 using IconLogic's "Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 9 HTML". This book has excellent step-by-step lessons and contains student data files to make it easier to learn. The student lessons were downloaded and unzipped into a folder called "RoboHelp9Data". Beneath this folder is a folder named "RoboHelpProjects". (Note there is no space in the folder name.) At some point, I inadvertently created a folder called "RoboHelp Projects". (Note the space in the folder name.) As lessons progressed, I learned (1.) it is best not to have pathnames with spaces as this can cause problems on some operating systems; and (2.) you should not delete any RoboHelp files via Windows Explorer. Rather, you should always delete them from within the RoboHelp application itself. (Let it be duly noted that the admonition in Item 2 came with no instructions on how to do that which it admonished!)
Because I now have two folders with similar names ("RoboHelpProjects" and RoboHelp Projects"), it is causing me problems. At first glance, it seems the simplest solution would be to remove and recreate the entire root folder, "RoboHelp9Data " via Windows Explorer. (I don't care about losing project data---I actually want to start over.) The thing that stops me from doing this is the admonition in item 2 above. So would RoboHelp still be unhappy if I were to remove the entire root project folder and everything it it (via Windows Explorer). It seems logical to me that if all traces of all project files were to disappear (including the files that contain references to the project), RoboHelp would not have anything to complain about! (I guess that all depends upon where and how the RoboHelp application stores data about each project, and sadly, I am ignorant of that knowledge.)
As I am unwilling to stand accused by the RoboHelp application of high crimes against project data, I decided to play it safe and delete my projects from within RoboHelp and then recreate them. It sounds reasonable, does it not? One would think that finding out how to delete a project from within RoboHelp would be simple enough. However, one would be wrong.
I have tried the obvious: (1.) Searched the index and TOC of my book for info on deleting a project---no help there; (2.) Looked for a "delete project" option in the Manager Pod "File" menu (also tried the right-click options)---no help there; and (3.) I searched the web and Adobe forums for "Delete RoboHelp 9 Project" with no success. I did find an article about removing unused project files (Tools > Reports > Unused Files), but nothing about deleting an entire project.
As a new RoboHelp user, what I need are some simple step-by-step instructions on how to safely delete a RoboHelp 9 project from within RoboHelp. This seems like it should be a short, simple, straightforward answer that is easy to find on the Web. What am I missing?

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

I can't shorten my photo clips in the project window. Why not?

I have video clips and photos in the project window and at some point each photo doubled and when I just any form of "clip adjustment" for length it does not stick. I checked the fact that I wanted each photo to only last 4 s in the movie every one of them is a different time that I can't change.

Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

I have Win7 Pro X64 with Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out...
I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
I've cleaned the cache
What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
Thanks all for any help!
Aza

It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

Why can't I drag clips from my source window to my program window on Premiere CS6?

I am only able to drag clips from my source window to my timeline, but not to my program window. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Also, the "insert" and "overwrite" buttons are not working from my source window, nor are their shortcuts ("," or "."). I think the problem with the insert and overwrite buttons is related to the reason I can't drag clips from my source window to my program window. Any advice on either problem would be much appreciated, thanks!

Be sure the appropriate tracks are both targeted and routed.

I can't locate my Comp in the Project window

I was able to locate it by choosing an asset used in it and choosing from a pull down in the Project pane.

Thank you

While the comp is open, right click in a blank area of the comp preview area and choose "Reveal Comp In Project".

Iphoto no longer deletes the images from iPhone 5s after import.

I have the latest version of IOS, and iPhoto. Now, when I connect my iPhone 5s and import the photos and select the delete all that was imported option the photos on the iPhone are NOT deleted.
Everything is stock apple software. Not jail broken, or any sketchy software installed. All updates are installed immediately. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Ben.

The short answer:
You're wrong. Either the software is malfunctioning and is suffering from a critic bug, or the Hardware is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Everything is under warranty so it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as the issue is resolved.
I just want to find out how many other users are experiencing this issue and help narrow it down before I report it to Apple.
The long answer:
Hi,
I'm a CSEE engineer with with a background in QE/QA. It's literally my job to define exactly what a piece of software and hardware products is supposed to do.
I validate the design of products, and verify the functionality of the product. For the record I do not work for Apple, and my employer is not affiliated with Apple in any way. Your answer blew me away! LOL.
Wow. Where to start? Any answer is not better than none.
Your answer is completely wrong and it's dangerous because your kind of answer will discourage regular people from asking questions on this forum. It sounds like it's coming form a professional and it sounds decisive, definitive, and final. Almost like an edict! LOL. Unfortunately it's also completely incorrect. That's the only reason I felt compelled to respond to your response.
Saying:

Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card or Phone. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then erase the data.
is a ridiculous answer.
I am saying that as both an engineer with an extensive experience in QA/QE, as well as a lay person who prefers to to use Apple products. Software and hardware should perform as designed and as expected. Apple software and hardware usually does exactly that. When it doesn't it gets fixed very quickly as long as it's reported.
You' don't trust Apple software and hardware to behave as expected? Why buy Apple then if you have such a low opinion of the reliability, design, and quality assurance of their products? It's the most expensive hardware in the market in it's class; so it's definitely not the "bargain" factor.
I buy Apple products because they perform as expected, have a superior intuative user interface, and it is all backed by solid customer service. This is the first time in years that I've had to deal with such a glaring malfunction. Somehow in jumping from Mavericks to YosemiteI, and IOS 7.x to IOS 8.x somehow the ball got dropped and I just want to know if this is a "one in a million case," or is it a more common bug before I report it to Apple. Either way it will be reported.
I am using two Apple products together and using Apple branded software designed specifically for those products on top of that. It's a MacBook pro, an iPhone 5s, and I'm using Apple's iPhoto as the interface. You actually said:
Terence Devlin wrote:

2. You can erase the photos from your Phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)
So first you say specifically to "never use iPhoto to delete photos." An app that was specifically designed by Apple for this purpose. Then you up the ante and and add "or any other app." But then step 2 you reverse yourself completely and say "use image capture" to erase photos. Why trust one Apple software, And distrust another? Why not trust the one designed for the purpose? Is it an article of faith? LOL.
I don't know if you ever noticed this; but, when you connect your iPhone to your MacBook, OSX automatically launches iPhoto as the de facto standard app for dealing with imports and deleting images from your iPhone. Yes you can customize that; but, the default factory standard is iPhoto. This has been the case for years, and it has worked flawlessly until now.
To advise people to not trust the app designed by Apple for Apple Products to do the work it was designed to do is funny to say the least.
The expected behavior of iPhoto is that imported images to the MacBook should be deleted when I tell the software to delete images. When the software tells me that it is deleting images and then I find out that it did not; that is a bug, and critical one at that. Major software functionality is being affected and the software is not behaving as designed, advertised, or expected.
I verified the bug by:
1- Saying no to the delete option at import time,
2- verified that the images have been imported.
3- disconnected and reconnected the iPhone.
4- When iPhoto informs me that all images have already been imported. I choose the option to delete images that have already been imported.
5- IPhoto still fails to delete the images.
I'm able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time. I want to know if others are experiencing this behavior.
Where did you ever get the idea that malfunctioning software, or software that is not performing according to design is a "Good" thing or that a bug is not a bug; but, a desirable feature?
From a lay person's perspective, the dialog box box in the iPhoto "import" function clearly states that import was successful, and asks if the user wishes to delete the photos that have been already imported. This is the way iPhoto has always worked ever since my iPhone 3gs days.
The fact that the iPhotos app asks if you want want the pictures that were just imported DELETED from your iPhone means the expected software and hardware behavior is that the photos that were already imported should be deleted and the storage freed for others uses. Having to use third-party software is not a real workaround or even desirable. There is something wrong with either the iPhone hardware, iPhoto software, OS X Yosemite, Or IOS 8.1.2. Any one of these issues is important enough that it should be looked at.
I need to zero in on the cause, and have Apple fix it. It could hardware or software issue. It could be just me, or hundreds, or thousands of people. Everything I have is under warranty so the repair is free and it is expected. I have been able to consistently reproduce this error and I want to know how widespread this problem is.
The reason I buy Apple products at a higher premium instead of alternative brands such as Samsung, or Sony, or LG is the Apple reliability and user experience. If as a user I don't report a bug; then over the long-term, that reliability and user experience is going to degrade. I'm not investigating this as an "Apple" hater; but, as a supporter and an enthusiast. Finding out how widespread the problem is would help Apple out. When I'm on the solving end of this kind of an equation; I know I would appreciate all the information that I can get.
On a more personal level, this bug has already negatively affected my user experience. Recently we were visiting a national Park, I took hundreds of pictures, dozens of videos, and I dutifully imported them into my laptop that night and I elected to delete what has been imported. I assumed that when iPhoto reported the pictures were deleted; that this was indeed the case. The next day we went to another national Park and only a third through the day my iPhone 5s reported that there was no more storage. I then had to then manually delete over 900 photos and videos.
There is no batch delete in the iPhone "Photos" user app interface. I had to go into the iPhone "Photos" select menu, scroll through hundreds of photos. Find where I had imported the day before, and then delete well over 900 photos and videos manually by individually selecting each one and then clicking delete. It took over an hour.
Yes, in the select dialog box you can select the multiple images and then click delete once; But, on a moving boat with all sorts of distractions this little exercise took an exceedingly long time. It also took my attention away from my family for well over an hour. I didn't see anything that I now can remember during that time and I couldn't interact with my family the way they deserved. I have no memories of that boat trip either in my brain, or on my camera because I was busy deleting. It wasn't by choice, I had to either do the deleting right then, or miss the show that was after the boat ride. I chose the lesser of two evils.
The point of my little story is, that the boat ride with my family is an irrecoverable moment in time that is forever lost. It wasn't life-and-death, but it was precious and it is gone forever. There is no way to recover it. There are no time machines. This simple bug, or hardware malfunction was the cause, and I want to make sure it doesn't happen to me, or anyone ever again. That was the first time I experienced the bug. Since then it has been the rule and not the exception.

You might also check the color space your display is set to, though the clip below it in the browser doesn't show the problem.

How can I merge chromokey footage with another project?

I have a project that I'm working on and want to go back in and place some green screen footage into the original project. What do I have to do to be able to use and edit the green screen footage and place it into the original footage?

In FCPX? Just place the green screen footage over the storyline (as a connected clip) and apply the Keyer effect to the green screen footage (if the green screen is really good, you probably won't even have to make any adjustments to the keyer). You can also use the Transform parameters in the Video inspector to adjust size, positioning and orientation of the overlaid footage to fit into the storyline original.

I am really feeling down because it has my singer's vocals and we worked days on it ! please help!

Is there a way to undo deleting a file?
Only if you had made a backup of your iPad before you started to delete projects. Then you could restore the iPad from your most recent backup. Other than that, deleting is final.

Can I delete/remove files from my iPhone after importing into LR?

Stoked to be able to pull photos and video from my iPhone via LR and skip iPhoto. But it didn't give me the option to 'move' the photos just to copy them. So now I have them all on my laptop but need to delete them from my iPhone to make more room. Deleting on the iPhone is a tetious one by one (checkmarking them) process. Any ideas?

It can't be done by any LR option. You can do it be means of a script, and Rob Cole (often posts here) has written one. Not sure if he's made it available to others.
This has been much discussed, and you'll find a strong polarisation between people like Rob, who think it remiss of Adobe not to include "move" as an option, and people like me that think it a dangerous feature, and shouldn't even be an option!

How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
