Can't drag audio clips onto timeline in PPro CC
It doesn't seem to be possible to drag an audio clip directly onto the timeline any more without first importing it into the project.
In CS6, I could drag an audio file like a .wav, mp3 or similar directly on to the timeline. CS6 would automatically add it to the project, it would be conformed, and its waveform would appear in the timeline.
In CC, it doesn't add it to the project, and instead it creates what appears to be just an empty placeholder in the timeline. There's no waveform, and no audio is heard when the sequence is played.
With CC, it seems you have to import it into the project first, then drag it onto the timeline, creating an unncessary extra step.
Also, if after importing that audio file into the project you then delete it, it doesn't get removed from the timeline, it just stays there.
Feature is still there, has not changed.

Can't drag audio files onto timeline
I can usually drag audio files (.mp3, .mov, .aiff) right into a project and it loads into either an existing track or automatically creates a new one.
I can't do that anymore as it loads up into an already existing track that has audio already on it and edited.
Simply cannot import new audio, on new tracks.
Any suggestions?

Dragging single clip onto timeline crashes FCP
Hi
I am resizing clips but when I drag the clip onto the timeline, FCP shuts down.
This happens repeatedly both on Studio 1 and Studio 2
Please help.
ThanksThanks guys
No my media is good and not a problem of where they are stored.
I have gotten around this by dragging the clip into the source screen and then dragging it into the sequence monitor. It's more time consuming but much less frustrating than having FCP crash all the time.
Many thanks -
Can't drag a clip onto my timeline
I just opened my newly updated version of iMovie on my newly updated version of Mavericks. While it's nice and all that iMovie has been upgraded, I feel like I have to learn how to use the software all over again.
That being said, after figuring out how to create a project, I tried to drag my first clip onto the timeline and it wouldn't work. The clip was also red. I've read that others have had the red clip issue, but has anyone had a problem with being able to drag clips onto their timeline. I found older clips that I had no problem dragging onto the timeline. It's just this particular clip.
Problem is that this particular clip was an MOV file created in Voila as a screencast in exactly the same way that I've done with so many other clips before. I import them into iPhoto and then the older version of iMovie never seemed to have any problem with them.
Is there anything I can do short of re-recording this particular clip, which is 30 minutes long!
If anyone knows the answer, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks.
MikeHow are you trying to delete them?...are they all on one single track? What exactly are you referring to by your 'link button'? Do you mean the track selector just to the right of the 'lock' at left of timeline?
Try this...set an In/Out, make sure the track selector is highlighted, then hit delete or command-c (apple-c) to 'cut' it out.
If you want to delete more than one track at a time, you can option-click on the track selectors to select one or all.

So, this seems to be a bit of a weird one, and I'd be pretty stoked if it ended up being something silly that I'm doing wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that might be.
As the title suggests, I can't use the mouse to move some audio clips in a timeline once I expand the track to view the waveforms. This appears to only happen with independent audio clips (WAV. AIFF, MP3, etc), and not with clips attached to video. Also, it's worth noting that I don't have track keyframes turned on. I was hoping that was it, but it wasn't.
So, what happens is this:
1) I drag an audio clip down to the timeline (I can drag it onto an existing track, or drag to the bottom of the sequence and create a new track. Neither option seems to get a different result.).
2) So long as the track isn't expanded and the waveform isn't visible, I can move the clip left, right, or up and down to a different track.
3) As soon as I expand the track to view the waveform this functionality goes out the window. When this issue happens I can use the keyboard to nudge left and right, but that's about all the movement I have.
4) It's almost as though the track becomes corrupt. The lanes for the track don't redraw properly, and the track is pretty much unusable. I can't put anything into it, and I can't take anything out. All I can do is delete the track and start again.
Complicating issues is that this doesn't always happen, but instead is one of those "vast majority of the time" issues. I can't see any rhyme or reason for why it works or doesn't. I seem to do the exact same thing, but occasionally get different results. It doesn't matter what type of file I'm using (WAV, AIFF, etc), and this only happens with independent audio clips.
Once again, I don't have track keyframing turned on when this happens. Believe me, I wish that was it.
I have already filed a couple of bug reports about this over the last month or so, but haven't heard anything yet. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue, and if so, whether they had any workarounds.
Mandatory system info:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-Bit)
Intel i7-3820
32GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 980 (350.12)
Premiere Pro CC 2014.2Update:
I was just looking to post a screenshot of the timeline when I discovered something interesting. As soon as I use the vertical scroll bar to the right of the sequence, the tracks start to work again. Close off the waveform and the clip goes haywire. Move the scroll bar a tiny bit (or a lot), and suddenly the clip starts working.
Pretty bizarre.
The good news is that for the time being that could be a workaround, though it would be great for this to not happen at all. -
Can't pull a clip onto the end of my timeline ... (1st time on iMovie) One of the clips has an orange highlight on it. Is this causing the problem?
Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing. -
Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?
i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...
thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

Everytime I drag a clip onto the timeline and it like scales up?
Okay, so ya know when you drag a clip onto the timeline and it asks you if you wanna change the sequence settings or keep them. I usually keep them but this time I checked dont ask again and now its zoomed in and I feel stupid!
W cant help much with feeling stupid...
But create a new sequence and start again is what we might advise. -
Video clip won't follow Audio clip on timeline
Hi,
When i drag a clip onto the timeline, the video clip for example ends up on track V1 and the audio on A1 and A2. So far so good. But when I want to drag my video clip to track V2, one would expect the audio clip to move to A3 and A4. This does NOT happen. The audio clips are still on track A1 and A2. Does anyone have a solution for this?While I know of no way to move both the audio and video tracks up or down together, I can offer two ways get them on the desired tracks in the first place:
when dragging, hover the mouse over the track you want to the clip to land on
In the Timeline, set Source Patching to the desired tracks, then use the Insert or Overlay command instead of drag-n-drop.
Once a clip is in a sequence on the "wrong" track, as far as I'm aware you're stuck moving the audio and video separately. I encourage you to submit a feature request: www.adobe.com/go/wish (and that's not just a canned suggestion; I'd love to have a shortcut for doing this!) -
Can't Drag Audio into Storyline
I'm a newer FCP X user. In the past, I was able drag audio clips from the side audio panel/library into my storyline. For some reason I can no longer move audio clips into my storyline, I think I change a FCP setting by accident. Whenever I select/click-on and audio clip from the audio panel/library, the background of my storyline viewer turns from a light gray to dark gray. In the past, this did not happen, I could just click and drag audio into the storyline and the background of the viewer did note change color. Now I can move audio into the storyline. Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened. Thanks
Trashing the preferences does not touch your projects or your application. Preference files are kept separately and they do someties get corrupted. Trashing them is one of the first steps to troubleshoot problematic behavior in FCP X and other applications.
To trash your preferences, you can use Preference Manager:

Can't drag audio and video together?
I have numerous assets in this dvd project. I'm setting up a button to play 10 commercials in a row, a "play all" button.
I'm editing the 10 commercials in what looks like a mini-video editor, with the video track and audio tracks shown.
PROBLEM:
When I grab the video to change the order of my "play all", the audio doesn't move with it. For instance, I'm shifting commercial #3 to become commercial #1. In order for Audio from Commercial #3 to become audio for commercial #1, I have to shift audio #2-10 over to the right to create space for Audio Commercial #3 to insert there. VERY FRUSTRATING and painstaking. And if you accidentally clip a bit off the end or front of an audio portion (easy to do in these tiny little tracks), the sync' is off for the rest of the spots!
I called Apple "tech support", and the rep' told me you can't drag audio and video together, and made up some excuse about 'this should already be done in Final Cut'. What? I'm just bringing in QuickTime files as assets. Why can't I lock audio and video together?
Incidentally, Apple's Tech Support is useless you spend $199, or "$799 for a year". This cost was NOT made clear in the original purchase of the product. I'd prefer spending $1000 for a "PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION" and have good tech support included!
Arrrrgh!
G4 dual 1.25 gig - 1 gig ram Mac OS X (10.3.8) DVD Studio "Pro" 4Once in the track, A and V don't get moved together.
I usually just rebuild the track order from scratch anyway because you can easily lose sync easilly when you are shuffling clip order. -

In iMovie and it wont let me drag an audio file onto my "clips"...I get an icon with a "slash", (like the "no smoking" signs.) I even went back to an earlier movie that I had created and it wouldn't let me drag another audio clip.
I've have created many movies before, on the same laptop, but this time it's not letting. Is there a setting I should be looking at? (And yes, the audio file IS on my computer and NOT in the cloud!)Feature is still there, has not changed.

Can i drag a clip from the desktop directly into the timeline without importing it
its seems so easy now
maybe I've been blind to this option before on 10.1.1
simply dragging from the desktop or its source a clip to the story/ timeline itself not having to use file> import media
which is a lot of steps IMHO
i notice when i do it also enters the library above where clips are seen and read to be dragged on the story line
so
is this incorrect ?
thanks
anyoneBy dragging it into the timeline you're importing it based on your import preferences. Great for single clips.

Cannot drag clips onto timeline
When I finished filming footage using my iSight camera i tried to drag footage to the timeline but i no longer couldn't could drag anything. please post solution
Try dragging to the clip viewer instead of the timeline viewer.
If you need help, see your Mac's iMovie Help for Adding clips to your movie.
Then change back to the timeline viewer to edit your project.
