Cannot insert  video clip source in adobe premiere cs5

I've been working on a large documentary piece. Have been using the insert button in the source window successfully for some time.
Was adding footage from a friend who used a Sony HD camcorder. Clip plays and editts but was able to insert only one edit.  Now all clips are unable to insert.
I can drag and drop the editted segments into the timeline but is not as effective as the insert button.
What can I do to fix this?

Jim,
Knocking my head over this I have seen that this is a problem occurring with user problems on the net not only to me. I found that when I opened a copy of the file from another drive I was able to insert without a problem. UNTIL! I had to replace 3 video inserts because I moved the files to another folder. I wanted to add another insert to the timeline track I just replaced and again no video insert function.
Targeted track meaning the A is greyed on the track I am working on , is this correct?   I am unfamiliar with the term patch but will now search help.
I do hope this can be resolved, dropping into the timeline, though works will complicate my flow tremendously.
I thank you for any help you can send my way.
Al

  • Can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?

    can you add batch video transition in adobe premiere cs5.5?
    i want to make a slide show with my pictures and i dont want to add fade in/out 400 times so is there any batch transition or one click fade in/out or at least something like that?

    Use:
    1. Automate to sequence and select the transition you want, or
    2. Apply the transition in the timeline, copy, select the rest of the clips and paste attributes.

    Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.

  • I cannot view video clips in iphoto. quicktime used to open automatically but no longer

    I cannot view video clips I created and syncd from my iphone into iphoto.  Quicktime used to open automatically.  Now it wont for some reason.

    If you have iPhoto 8 and Lion then download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  That should let you view clips in the iPhoto library.

  • Cannot export video clips.  Get message: "unable to create video for export"

    Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder.  Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
    The video clips play correctly within iPhoto. 
    Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
    Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

    Yes.  I have 3,184 video clips in this library.  I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly.  I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case. 
    Some more info that may be relevant:
    I have multiple iPhoto libraries.  My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
    The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library.  I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release. 
    While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive.  It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content. 
    I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie.  Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
    In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export."  Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie.  I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

  • Inserting video clip and have both audios at once

    Hi everyone, hopefully somone can help answer my question.  My friend has a video blog and the person who used to do all of his technical stuff is no longer with him, so he's trying to figure it all out, and I figured I'd try to help him.
    In iMovie, does anyone know how to insert a video clip into the main video clip and have the inserted video being shown on the screen but the audio of both videos playing at the same time, with no break in continuity of the main video's audio?  Then, how to transition from the inserted video with both audios playing at the same time back to just the main video, again with no breaks in audio continuity?  I know it's possible on FinalCut Pro, because that is what his tech person used, but for some reason that program freezes my friend's computer, so he's stuck with iMovie for now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply devbear11.  You ALMOST got what I was asking for.  I'm sorry if my wording is confusing, lol.  Everything you said is great, EXCEPT that  I want to KEEP the audio on the inserted video in ADDITION to the audio on the original clip.  So to break it down....
    - Main video clip is playing.
    - Segue into the inserted video clip.  Have the screen be showing the inserted video clip and have it be playing it's own audio, WITHOUT interrupting the audio of the original/main video.
    - Inserted video clip plays on the screen and you hear both the audio of the inserted video clip in addition to whatever my friend is saying on the main audio....To give you an example, my friend blogs about figure skating.  So he will be discussing a competition and the screen is showing him at his desk talking about the different skaters.  While he is discussing a certain skater, he may input a clip of their performance and you will see and hear them skating to their music, but still be able to hear him discussing it uninterrupted in the background.
    - Once the inserted clip ends, the video switches back to my friend at his desk, with his commentary uninterrupted.
    Am I making sense? lol

  • Inserting video clips

    My group are fairly new ussers of Vis. Com.  Today we inserted video clips into a program and immediate were given the message that the program was not responding and would close.  Three hours later we tried to open that program and review it to be given the same message.  Does processing a video clip need this much time or have we overlooked some detail?

    Actually, no, that's not how I did it . . . I used the advanced tools/replace clip feature.  It took me a while to figure out though, it's not explained clearly in the app help, but you have to separate longer clips to isolate the section you want to replace.  Then choose a section from the  replacement clip that's  the same  length, with accurate in and out points so it lines up with the existing audio track (if that's a factor)... sometimes needs some trial and error to make it work, but the results are exactly what I'm looking for.  Thanks for the reply, the 'cutaway clip' thing looks good too!

  • Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

    I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac.  Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats?  I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac.  Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac?  Do I need the full version?  Thanks.

    The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
    Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
    Good luck,

  • Why I cannot play video clips from Google news page? It is only a white box without video when video icon is tauched!

    Why I cannot play video clips from Google News page?

    It looks,like the videos on the web page are flash, which will not play on the pad.  That is why the made an app. Go to the store and get the free google news app.  It is laid out a little different, but any videos in it will play.

  • Exporting video,adobe premiere cs5

    I used adobe premiere cs5 to make a video which includes photos and videos. It's 40 min long. When i do export, microsoft AVI format, it comes out too big (8.5 Gb) and i can't copy it to SD cards or memory stick.
    How can i make it "copyable" and smaller (Gb)?
    The sequence settings:
    Editing mode: desktop
    Timebase: 29.97 f/s
    Frame size: 800x600
    Thank you!

    There are endless choices of codecs and settings you could use. If you tell us the intended delivery, we can narrow it down. Do you want to share with friends to watch on other computers? Online streaming? DVD?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Premiere CS5.5 - Special Effect

    In Adobe Premiere CS5.5, I have the ability to add video clips and images. However, what I’m not sure how to do, is this: I want to add a “transparent” video “layer” over top of a still image. I want that transparent video layer to be smoke rising, and the still image behind it to be a simple text JPG slide. The end product would be a ‘title slide’ announcing a chapter, with smoke rising in front of the title slide. I have no idea how to make this happen- maybe it can’t be done in Premiere. Maybe it has to be done in Adobe After Effects.

    Hi swanva,
    Do you have a clip of the smoke, or do you need it create it from scratch? If it's the latter, you can create it in After Effects. See this tutorial: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/smoke_screen/
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • How do I get my Adobe Premiere CS5.5 workspace to work

    I am having trouble getting my workspace in Adobe Premiere CS5.5 to open up. Nothing works and I cannot figure out why. Can anyone help? I have tried to reinstall the program and resesting the workspace and it did not help.

    Per the following your headset uses the HFP or the HSP profile.  The iPod only supports the A2DP profile for headphones.

  • Can I run Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on MacbookPro with Lion??

    For the love of GOD!! Can someone please explain to me why I cannot effectively use Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS)??? I've tried getting all updates from both Adobe and Apple, still no luck. Playback is horribly choppy, resolution is diminished and the program appears to be useless...no one at Apple seems to know anything about Adobe. Sorry if this quesiton has already been proposed, but is their a basic overall solution to get Premiere to run on lion???

  • Windows edited/saved project crashing on  mac (adobe premiere cs5)

    hi there
    i really hope you can help.
    i have edited video files on adobe premiere cs5 on a windows 7 machine and saved the project ffiles on an external drive formy friend to colour grade and finalise etc
    he can open the video files in adobe premiere, but its crashing his mac system and some video files arent opening
    he says he has all the latest codec files but it has gone to the extent of the files crashing his system and it won't boot..
    my files were a mixture of mpeg and avi files...
    is there anything that can be causing this problem.
    he is in a different city from me, so i am not going to see him for a while and i want these video files edited as soon as really
    thanks and i hope you can suggest thingss that may help finding the problem

    Welll you wont be able to if you do not have the computer anymore.
    Do a search on EDLs in Premiere (or any NLE) so you know about them for next time.
    Whatever...I suspect the issue is at your colleagues end and needs to be sorted there.  Someone with a Mac may chime in on how PPRO win project files and PPro Mac project files work.

  • Quicktime audio & video out of sync in premiere cs5

    i filmed a video using the built-in isight camera in my new macbook pro and the QuickTime video recorder.  the videos look and sound fine, but when i put them into adobe premiere cs5 for editing, they audio and video get out of sync.  how do i keep this from happening?
    thanks!

    In most cases I convert to PNG format (Portable Network Graphics) rather than JPG. File sizes are larger than JPG but rarely prohibitively so (and if they are I will then use JPG) .
    Importantly, for this generally insignificant increase in size, you get a perfect lossless graphic with PNG.
    For example this whole screen capture (1920 x 1200) shot is:
      694K  PNG (lossless)
    2,341K  JPG (lossless)
      493K  JPG (standard lossy)
    Note that the forum scales images for display. To actually see it at full resolution you would right-click the image and 'Save As Image ...' to then view it in your favourite image viewer (I use VuePrint, XN-View and FutureixImager to view images).
