Cross-hatched clips in sequence timeline?

I'm seeing a strange problem in one of my sequences which was working fine but on reopening the project, I see that all but the first 7 seconds of the edited clips on the timeline are now cross-hatched. There's no video or sound when I scrub over the cross-hatched portion. I've tried removing all effects and transitions but no joy. There are several other sequences in this project which are all working normally. Any ideas?

I had the same problem importing from Prem CC on editors ext HD (also mac) to Prem CC2014 on this computer.
Attempting to relink media hasn't fixed it.
Looks like i have to rebuild the edit at this end, luckily the footage wasn't media managed so have all the source files. However, it looks like a lot of the clips that "look ok" ie not crosshatches, actually have incorrect inpoints media wise.
However, I have the old version of Premiere CC on my computer, when opened in that it does the same thing. So i suspect that this is the much vaunted "reconnect media accurately automatically" feature that i watched in a promo last year kicking in, rather than a CC -> CC2014 issue

  • Sound disappears when dropping clip to sequence timeline

    I have a quicktime clip that plays without problems when in the viewer window. I edit the clip as desired and then place the clip in the sequence timeline. When I try to view the clip, the sound is gone, replaced by a regularly pulsing beep. When I first opened the project and added the clip I got the warning stating my project settings didn't match the clip settings and accepted FC Pro's suggestion to change my project to match the clip. This is the only clip I'm working with. How can I get my sound working correctly?

    Rendering doesn't solve the underlying problem. Your audio is not in a standard editing format (perhaps it is mp3?) which can cause you problems down the line.
    The audio in FCP (with rare exceptions) should be aiff/ 48khz/16 bit. Other formats, sample rates, etc lead to drifting out of sync, pops and other really annoying anomalies.
    good luck,

  • [CS3] In Adobe Premiere, clips are much smaller in sequence timeline than in source window?

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to edit a portfolio together. I downloaded my own videos from YouTube as I had lost the raw files, then converted them to .avi and imported them into APP, which worked fine. Though once I started placing the clips on the timeline the video image in the sequence window was about 1/4 the size of what it was in the source viewer! I'm having great trouble with this as I'm used to editing on Avid and Final Cut Pro, and it is the only editing programme available to me as I have a portfolio due in a few days. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

    >converted them to .avi
    How did you convert, and what is the codec inside that avi wrapper?

  • Sync clip timeline and sequence timeline?

    Hi guys,
         Dumb question, but here goes...
    Can you sync the clip timeline and sequence timeline when you scrub?  I want to see the 'edit points' that are in the sequence and sync that to the location in the clip (left window) timeline.
    Thanks for the help.
    Jason

    You can  GANG  the Source and the Program Monitors.  That should do what you want.

  • How to render our and export INDIVIDUAL clips on a sequence timeline

    I searched, but can't seem to find exactly what i want which i am sure is simple.
    I have a batch of clips shot underwater. I took them into FCP and colored them and set in/outs; set them on the timeline for color correction etc...Now in the sequence i have all of my clips colored and timed as i want them from this dive and i want to export them as INDIVIDUAL clips since these are merely color corrected Prores 422HQ clips (original media was red 4k) ....I will (once exported as individual clips) ingest and categorize each clip for my stock library. So all i am trying to do is get my color and time corrected clips out of the sequence or rather render them out as individual clips so i can file them on FCP server.
    thanks in advance for you assistance yet again

    Hi -
    Here is another way, that will do it as a batch -
    Go to your project browser and create a new (empty) bin - you can call it "Export Clips".
    Click anywhere on your timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips.
    Drag the selected clips from the timeline into your newly created "Export Clips" bin.
    You will see a Creating Master Clips dialog box while it is transferring the clips.
    Now Control - Click on the "Export Clips" Bin and from the drop down menu choose Batch Export.
    Click on the Settings button at the bottom of the Batch Export window and make sure you set your destination for your clips as well as checking the Use In and Out checkbox:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BatchExportUseInOut.jpg!
    Otherwise it will export the entire source clip, not just the portion on your timeline -
    When all set, press the Export button at the bottom of the Batch Export window and you should be good to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I sync free-run clips to a timeline by timecode?

    I shoot weddings with multiple cameras.  For shooting a lot of the pre-ceremony and reception footage, I have the ability to jam the cameras so that they have the same free-run timecode.  So, as the day goes on I am recording some shots with CAM A and my other camera operator is recording shots elsewhere with CAM B.  Naturally, at times both cameras are shooting simultaneously and from time-to-time we are shooting the same stuff from different angles.  But, being a wedding it is impossible to slap a slate every time we want to sync up shots.  So, I'm looking for an easy way to sync all of the shots from the day using the timecode.
    I think this would work best, if someone knows a way to do it: 
    Let's just assume that CAM A shoots the first shot of the day.  What I'd like to be able to do is create a timeline with the same start time as the first clip from CAM A, drop all of the clips from CAM A onto one track and be able to line up the clips by their timecode to the timeline's timecode. Then, do the same for all of CAM B's clips on Track 2.  So, I would end up with 2 tracks, CAM A's clips on Track 1, CAM B's clips on Track 2 and gaps when neither camera was shooting. 
    I know I could choose all of CAM A's clips and make a multi-camera sequence by timecode which would add the gaps between the clips, but this also puts each clip on a different track.  It's also very difficult to then try and line up CAM B's clips with CAM A's.  There is a way to do it by nesting the multi-cam sequences, but it's way too complex and doesn't make for easy editing since you can't see the individual clips.
    The only way I've figured out to achieve what I'm wanting to do is to make a timeline that has the same start time as CAM A's first clip and manually drop each clip, one-by-one, onto the timeline using its start timecode as my reference.  As you can imagine, with several hundred clips per camera, this is very time-consuming.
    If anyone knows a better way to achieve what I'm looking for, please let me know.
    Thanks!

     Even with that feature, though, you'd end up with an eight hour sequence.
    That's true, but I could take out the gaps pretty easily.  Plus, I usually separate the day into sections anyway, such as Pre-Ceremony, Post-Ceremony, Reception, etc. 
    Jim Simon wrote:
     It'd be a better feature request, I think, if you could designate selected clips as Camera 1, then other clips as Camera 2, etc.  Then have PP create a sequence with all timecodes synced to each other, each camera's clips on their corresponding track.  This would eliminate gaps where nothing was shot, which you'd get a lot of syncing the cams to a sequence timecode.
    That's true, but beggars can't be choosers and I'd be happy just being able to sync clips to the timeline by timecode.  I did submit the feature request though.  Thanks for the link!

  • Is there a way to track the time within the clip (not sequence) that you're in?

    Let me try to explain this as best I can and make sense.
    I watched a video clip and I liked everything from, let's say the :30 mark to the minute mark. So, I import it into Premiere.
    However, when I put it at the end of the next clip, it shows the time for the whole sequence. Now, I know that I can do the math, but is there a way to show where the 30 second mark (in this example) is by avoiding doing the calculation? It's do-able, but seems a little tedious.
    Would like to "reset the clock" so to speak when working on individual clips within the timeline.

    Choose the edit points in the Source Monitor before inserting to the Sequence.
    You can see the duration of the In and Outs in the Monitor .

  • Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

    Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
    I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project.  I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
    And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
    Thanks,
    digi

    Hi Bill Hunt,
    I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE.  In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
    "Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
    So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
    In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols {  }  ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
    But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
    Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
    Thanks so much for your article,

  • Why do I need to render an imported clip in the timeline to view it??

    I can't figure this out.I have used FCP 3 many times before but now I have imported an H264.mp4 clip into my timeline using FCP 4.5. Now I have to render it to watch it in the timeline?It appears that I have to render any clips I import into the timeline including .mov files.
    Is this a FCP 4.5 thing?
    I am operating a Dual 867 G4 with 2 gigs of Ram. 10.4.6 OS.
    It will take forever to render this project as it is Hours of HD footage.
    Thanks so much for any help.
    Never had this issue with non HD footage using FCP 3.
    G4 dual 867, 2 gig Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Format: H.264 Decoder,368 x 208,Millions
    AAC, Stereo(L R).44.100 kHz
    23.98
    You're dimensions are 368x208? Never seen that size (though, I'm sure there are a multitude of sizes I haven't seen). Did you specify those dimensions in HandBrake or were they default? Did you set those dimensions in your sequence? Look at all of your columns in the browser in regards to the clip properties; enter all of those into the sequence settings. This may be wrong, but I would even specify H.264 as the compressor.
    Also, you said "HD footage", but you ripped it off a DVD. Was it a video DVD, or a data disc? If it was video, I believe it would have been compressed and down-rez'd already to SD, so it shouldn't really be HD footage anymore (not native anyway...unless it was a HD-DVD).
    Looking to maybe export H.264.mov as another format
    using Quicktime Pro. Think that will help?
    You could do this, I believe, but it may not be necessary.

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS 6 hang when option opening bins, clip to sequence, etc?

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with Premiere Pro CS6 performing a few commands:
    -     Option Clicking Bins to open them
    -     Duplicating Sequences
    -     Performing Clip to Sequence
    -     Creating Sequence: File → New → Seq
    I am not having these issues (the system does not hang) when loading shots, Match-framing, watching dailies, etc in my source monitor or watching the assembly.  Everything works fine when actually cutting, trimming, inserting, etc.  Cutting in the timeline is actually a pleasure – fast and very responsive.
    The problem only happens when I’m in bins.
    My project is rather large – about 49.9MB, with over 100 folders and bins (it is a feature).
    I have tested these commands with smaller projects – importing a sequence from the current "hanging" project into a new project  - and everything is working fine with the small project of that one sequence and consolidated clips from the sequence.
    I originally thought it as a RAW issue (I had 8GB).  When I installed another 8GB of RAM for a total of 16GB the issue stopped and I have been editing fine for the last few days.
    However yesterday the issue started again – it hangs on the commands listed above (Mac’s spinning wheel).   The operation is usually completed successfully however it can take up anywhere from five to ten minutes before the sequence is duplicated or the bin opens (option clicking), etc.  
    Again, from what I’ve gathered it does not happen with smaller projects – with less bins, footage, clips, etc. but only with this rather large project – with many daily bins, sequence bins, etc. 
    My system spec. are:
    MacPro 1,1 - OS X 10.6.8
    2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    16GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    The media that I’m cutting is ProRes (transcoded from Epic RED footage).
    I'm wondering if this issue is hardware-related or Premiere Pro CS6-related.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Matteo

  • Easy Way to Play Clips in Sequence?

    Noob question:
    Is there an easy way to play my clips in sequence without dragging each into the timeline?
    When I log and capture, FCP7 creates a separate clip each time I restart recording.  Can I look at each clip one after the other without double clicking on it and playing each in the viewer?  I've done a brief search of this forum and the manual without finding anything.

    Sure...use another editing app.  FCX allows for clip scrubbing.  Prelude, part of Adobe CS6, does too.
    But FCP, and most other editing apps, require that you load clips into the VIEWER to watch them.  Or, you can grab them all, drag them into the sequence to make a quick "stringout" of all your clips for viewing. 
    This is basic editing...load the clips into the Viewer to watch them.  But Apple has changed that by allowing clip scrubbing in FCX.  So if you want that, you should take a look at that app.

  • Movie Clips in sequence

    Hello everyone,
    Question, If you want to play serval movie clips in a row how
    do you set that up on the time line? Do you use one frame for each
    movie clip or do you need the same number of frams in the main
    timeline as there is in the movie clip.
    What I am trying to accomplish is to play 4 or 5 movie clips
    in sequence. want to build them individually for editing purposes
    in the future
    Thanks

    you could have stop(); action in all these clips first frame.
    Than in the last frame of each clip
    _root.NextClipName.play();
    So the stop(): prevent them from running and last frame
    action
    kicks in next one to play, once done, another one and so
    on...

  • Why can't I drag a clip into the timeline?

    I just loaded PP CD5 onto my Win 7 laptop.  I can import movie clips into my project, but I can't drag any of those clips into the timeline.  When I try to drag them, I get a hand with a "do not enter" symbol.  No error messages of any kind.
    I vaguely remember having this same issue when I loaded PP CS5 on my Win 7 desktop several months ago, and I thought I found something on the forums that told me how to fix it, but I can't find it now.  Perhaps a change in the preferences?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Did you actually create a sequence? If not, go to File > New > Sequence, or drag one of your clips to the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel. You can also click that to get the New Sequence option.
