Clips not moving in timeline

I noticed this recently with CS5.5 as well but now in CS6 and i can't figure out what is going on.
I have a timeline with clips. I created the timeline form scratch and added a few clips. Nothing earth shattering. I moved them all around and then left for a while. When i came back, the clips in the timeline were locked in position. I can't move them. The tracks are not locked, the clips are enabled, when i try and drag them, they just flash but do nothing.
Now in CS5.5 if i waited long enough, then would eventually free back up. I haven't waited that long in CS6. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this?
I have closed Premiere and reopened and that didn't help
I tried creating a new sequence and can't drag anything into it. Its as if all dragging was diabled. I am however able to move them with the keyboard. I am also able to add to the timeline using the , and . keys. Just no dragging.
I can select them and lasso them but can't move them. it is the strangest thing

I've never seen this behavior before.
If I had to guess, I'd say something was wrong with your graphics driver.

Video audio enabled clips not moving together

I am dragging clips on to the timeline. They have audio and video. the dialogue box says they are enabled. However, If I move the clip, audio and video are not moving together when I drag either the video or audio clip in the timeline. Even when I disable the clip, link them or group the audio and video, they do not move together

Link them - select the video and audio tracks and press ⌘L.

Video and audio clips not moving together on timeline

So every time I move my video clips in the timeline, the audio clips are not following.
I know "make a stereo pair" links up the audios, but is there any way to make the video and both the appropriate audio tracks move together?
Thanks

Clips not displaying in timeline

I've been having a nightmare of a time editing a project because my clips are randomly not displaying in my sequence timeline. The project recognizes them as being there and will play them when I preview, but some clips aren't represented graphically. This makes it nearly impossible to edit, because I'm constantly dropping new clips over existing ones on accident. In this image, inbetween the two cross dissolves, there should be a clip. I can only see it if I zoom in to a level that makes editing very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions? My clips are all AVCHD, by the way.

Yes, I'm sure the clips aren't on a track I've scrolled out of view. As I said, when I zoom in on the timeline, I can see that there is a clip in the gap, at least in the example I posted above. Here is a screenshot of my entire timeline after making some changes.
Where the playhead is, there should be a clip on track 1. What does the 'V' at the far left of the track indicate? Because it seems like maybe I've enabled some kind of overlapping video mode. I'm a new convert to Premiere from Final Cut, so I'm not very comfortable with this yet. I was able to fix the problem by deleting the two clip fragments to the left of the playhead. When I deleted one, the other clip fragment, to the left of the first one, stretched out to fill the gap. I haven't had the problem since, but I'd still like to know what was going on. Seemed like a bug to me, but the 'V' also went away after I deleted the clips, so I'm wondering if maybe I had entered some kind of mode that I wasn't aware of.

CS4/Win: markers are not moved after resizing a clip in timeline

Hello,
when I am resizing a clip in the timeline my markers after this clips in the same timeline are not moved, too.
Bug or feature?
If it is a bug: stilil

The same behavior in CS5, too?
Neither, is as designed.
CS5 is excactly the same.

A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

Clips blur when trimming/moving on timeline?

I'm working with Premiere Pro CS5 and have a weird problem.
I'm outputting a screen grab video, and was consistently having the problem of text on-screen exporting blury/not as crisp as the initial clip. The initial clips is 1080p, 30fps, so it's a quality screen capture. I checked the clip upon import; all is good, the type on-screen in the screen capture is crisp and clean. But! As soon as I trim the clip by pulling the left to adjust where the clip starts, it becomes less crisp (kinda looks like aliasing). I think this might happen too when I move my clip around on the timeline. Any idea why that might happen/how I can avoid it? Gotta have my crisp type.
Thanks!

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?

Exporting sequence, some clips do not match the timeline

Hey guys,
I am exporting video to match sequence settings (MPEG).
For some reason, I have two clips that will just not show up int eh final output video. There is some video in the beginning that defaults to the start of that clip, not the selected portion that is in my timeline, and then an audio issue towards the end that is the same thing. It's perfect in my program monitor, but when I export it, I'm getting something else. Is this a wierd bug or glitch?
Edit: Exporting directly produces the results I was looking for . For some reason, it only happens when I use media encoder.
Edit a 2nd time. I lied, it worked once, the next time I encoded it the clip was wrong again. WTF premiere.
Edit a 3rd time, now the clips in my sequence changed. It's almost like a caching issue or something .... it's wierd, it's like some clips go back to the very beginning, ignoring the in/out points I set for them.

Sounds like this:

Moving clips en masse on timeline (with imported audio)

Here's what I want to do: I just arranged a group of clips on my timeline. I realized after I did this that they are in the wrong place, so I need to grab them all (there're about 15 in a row) and move them to another place on the timeline. The thing is, they need to inserted in-between a bunch of clips that are all smack together. So what I need to do is create a space between two of these clips and then paste my new collection of clips in that space.
Thank you for your help!

Hi James!
You don't need to make a space for them to drop into.
Select all the clip by holding down the shift key while you click on the first and last of the clips, then they will drag en masse to the desired location and make their own gap!
If that location is too far down the timeline to be seen, park them in the clips pane, move the timeline, then drag them to the desired position.Make sure sure you don't click anything or you will 'unbundle' them.
As to your second question, you just need to lock the audio to the playhead. Place the playhead at the point where you want the audio to stay in relation to the clip, go to Advanced menu and click on 'lock audio at playhead'. Now the audio will move with the clip.

How can I copy and paste a clip already in my timeline

Here is my problem I am attempting to copy and paste a video clip from video 1 to video 2 and it will not let me do it. I am using several effects to create a moving face block and it calls for an exact copy of the section with faces to be blocked. I have been working for 2 hours trial and error and everytime I copy and paste in video 1 it moves the next clip or the entire timeline over and I cannot get it back to where it was without unsyncing my titles and music tracks. Thankfully it has the Udno feature but Is there any way I can copy and paste a clip in the beginning of my timeline without distorting the entire video by doing so?

Copy your clip, use the End key to go to the end of the timeline. Paste then drag to Video2. When it is over the original clip it will 'snap' into place for you.
Cheers,
Neale

Cant move audio clips around in the timeline? Help?

When my clips are in the timeline in iMovie 11, after a few times of moving them around, it suddenly stops allowing me to move the clips around anymore. Any Ideas?

Well basically, I will import a .mp4 video file into the timeline and then I will import an audio file in from itunes. After a couple of trys to sync the imported audio file and the video up correctly, it just decides to not let me move the imported audio clip around anymore in the timeline. Any ideas? and thanks for the responce.

How do I recerence Movie Clips on the Main Timeline from inside a class?

Hey everyone, this might be a stupid question but I thought
I'd ask cause it's making me nuts. I'm all of 2 days into AS3
(coming from not using Flash at all in YEARS) so feel free to
consider me ignorant. I do have plenty of application development
experience in other areas though.
I can't seem to create a class that can reference an instance
of a movie clip on my main timeline. I'd post code of what I've
tried but I've gone through so many desperate edits & wild
guesses that it was just garbled junk before I deleted it all.
Basically here's how I figured Flash could work, though maybe
it doesn't work this way at all.
I'm assuming that with AS 3 being so big on being a true
object oriented environment, I wouldn't need to mix my code and
interface together. Preferably I'd be using the Flash authoring
tools just to design my interface. Create a button... place it
somewhere... give it an instance name. Roughly the equivilant of
Apple's InterfaceBuilder for those of you that might be familiar
with Cocoa development. I can see maybe having to put a few lines
of ActionScript onto frame 1 (though really I'm hoping Flash would
have a better method of kicking off the application at this point
that using code tied to frames) to load my classes & such, but
after that I'd like all of my code to be held in external class
files.
So maybe I've got:
Interface.fla - My interface
Button_1
Button_2
TextField_1
Main.as - My main controller class using to handle all of my
applications behavior
SomeClass.as - Some helper Class
SomeOtherClass.as - Some helper Class
Main.as would have instructions in its initialization method
to go ahead & attach events to buttons & initialize
anything else that needs to happen when the application starts.
From there on it would all be objects communicating back &
forth. Button_1 would get clicked with would fire
Main.someMethod(). Main.someMethod() would then do it's thing and
set the value of TextField_1. All very clean & code is very
separated from interface.
Unfortunately I can't for the life of me figure out how AS3
classes reference each other like that. There doesn't seem to be
any kind of a global 'root' or '_root' I can use to locate any
movie clips on the stage. I've searched the help & the web for
any kind of simple tutorial but to no avail. My job has tasked me
with building a flash app for a project but I'd really rather not
have a tone of ActionScript just shoved into frame 1. That just
seems... ugh! (::shudder::)
Can someone maybe point me in the right direction here? I'm
really willing to do my homework but I can't seem to locate the
info I need to get started. Also, is there an ActionScript IRC
channel or something maybe?
Thanks,
Cliff

I worked with the problem last night and the solution I
started coming to involved creating my own custom document class
based off which extends MovieClip. My thought is that way I have
access to the initialization routine of the timeline itself and
that all of the elements on the main timeline should be
"properties" of my custom class.
Is this correct? Is there a down side to doing this & if
so what is it & why?
Also, just for my reference, the last time I did anything
with ActionScript I think I was using '_root' to target the main
timeline. WHat are the global variable names in AS 3? Is it just
'root' & 'stage' or 'Root' & 'Stage' or what?
