Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

How to open only one clip at a time in the source monitor?

Ok the answer to this question may be simple.. hopefully...
At the moment each time I open a clip in the source monitor it adds it to the dropdown list.
Fine... but I am opening and closing hundreds of clips in a day and after a while I noticed it seemed to be slowing down the whole PPCS5.5 system.
It appears that PP seems to be keeping each clip I open... active.
Is there a way to allow only one clip to be open at a time in the source monitor... other than having to close them all first??? (would be ideal if there was some kind of shortcut like shift-doubleclick)

SonyZ7's can record to compact flash cards as well as tape, so I generally log and transfer from the cards.
So I guess I should do a bit more research on workflow's in Pr
No probs, here's a bunch of MediaInfo...

Any way to default on FIRST of multiple clips loaded in the Source Monitor?

When dragging 2 or more clips to the Source Monitor, or using the 'Open in Source Monitor' contextual menu in the Project window, the clip that automatically gets displayed in the Source Monitor is the last clip of the list, rather than the first one. WHY?
Basic Human Logic 101 dictates that editors would always want the FIRST clip of the list to automatically be displayed rather than the LAST. For example, if I open CLIP001 to CLIP025 in my Source Monitor, why on Earth would I ever want to trim and send CLIP025 to the Timeline first, before CLIP001 to CLIP024? THIS BACKWARDS WORKFLOW IN PREMIERE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!! Adobe, please fix this unhelpful annoyance. I encounter it dozens of times on every project, and I imagine that every single editor out there that uses the Source Monitor to load several clips at once also encounters this illogical annoyance.
If there's already a way to change this setting that I'm not aware of, I would love to know! Otherwise I'll be sending Adobe an official FR to get this fixed.
Thank you!

I think you misunderstood what I'm asking for.
I'm asking for the first newly loaded clip to always be shown by default when loading several clips in the Source Monitor. So if the Source Monitor already contains CLIP001 to CLIP025, and you load CLIP026 to CLIP050, CLIP026 should automatically be shown, NOT CLIP050, as Premiere currently does. Defaulting to the first clip in the list (CLIP001) when adding new clips would make as little sense as the way it currently works, so of course I wouldn't want, nor am I asking for that.
I always load 25-30 clips in the Source Monitor for trimming at a time. It's the most efficient workflow I've come up with and I'm quite surprised none of the responders work that way. I load up a bunch of clips all at once, and then set IN (1) and OUT (2) points on the current Source Monitor clip, and then send the selected range to my Timeline (5). Keys 3 and 4 go back and forward in the list of loaded clips. JKL controls playback. This allows the editor to quickly pre-select material for editing using only the keyboard. Once I finish going through my clips, I load another 30 or so clips. Quick. Efficient... exept for the fact that Adobe decided to work backwards, by always showing the last loaded clip instead of the first.
I think this would be a relatively easy thing for Adobe to fix. I won't indulge any petty arguments about what Adobe should be fixing first, second or third. That's for them to decide. I'd rather spend my time and effort bringing up topics that others haven't yet. Thinking outside the box is the only way for Premiere to evolve.

Roll Name in the Source Window

Is there a way to automatically show all of my roll names in the source window? I would like to be able to just click on a roll name in the source window and be able to see those particular photos in the main iPhoto window.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, Rolls don't get listed in the Source Pane.
However, there is a way to view just the roll you want. Choose Library from the Source Pane and View > Film Rolls. (The entire library must be selected, with no filter in operation. Be sure all Year Smart Albums are selected - look below Library in the Source Pane. Click the little triangle to reveal or hide them.) Each roll has a disclosure triangle next to its title. Click it to open or close the roll. Option-click one triangle to open or close all rolls in your library. With all rolls closed, it is easy to scroll through the roll list, open one roll, and see just the photos in that roll.
To make it easier, I title all of my film rolls. Click the little i in the lower left corner to open the Info Pane. When you select a roll's header in the main window you can edit its title, roll date, and comments by typing directly in the Info Pane. Comments are especially handy; they display only when the roll is closed. I use comments to list the contents of a roll, so that I know which roll to open when I want to find a particular photo.
If you still want your rolls in the Source Pane, you can drag the roll's header there and an Album will be created with the same name and photos. To create Albums that automatically update when you change the photos in the rolls, you would have to create a Smart Album for each roll with the category "Roll contains (type the roll name)". That seems too cumbersome, in my opinion.

UDF to capture the source file name or the source folder for mapping

Hi All,
i have 2 files - File1 from File2 from 2 different folders- single comm channel FTP (FCC). i have to pass a constant A and B respectively to a field in target structure.
my options are -
either create a new field in source str populating different constants and then map to the target str
or a udf to get the source file name or the source folder so that i can map the constant using the value mapping/FixValue mapping.
please suggest. thanks.
rajib

Hi,
please use the UDF to determine the file name. Then based on file name either pass A or B to your target field.
The code is as given below. Just tweak the code to pass either A or B as per your requirement.
public String G_GetFileName(Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Regards,
Deepak.

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

You need to set the source patching:

Can the audio for the source monitor be muted during playback?

Seems like a silly question but I like to listen to music on the same workstation while I'm previewing/trimming clips in the source monitor. In this instance I do not need to preview the audio in the clips so I'd rather not hear it while my jams are playing, which keeps me from poking my eye out with a pen after 4 hours of previewing .
I have not been able to locate any mute option for the source monitor so I'm open to suggestions other then using something other than the same workstation (iPod n headphones), which may be the way I go if there is no other option.
thanks,
Dave

Hey Harm,
I can't see the audio tracks in the source monitor (CS4). I only see the audio tracks of clips that are loaded in a timeline. Right now I have a thousand (literally) clips from a season of club volleyball. I have them loaded in bins in the project panel and I am dbl clicking each clip to load it in the source monitor panel (that I have undocked and displayed on a seperate monitor). I have seperate sequences for the types of plays I want to keep, so as I preview/trim in the source monitor I drop what I want to keep in the appropriate timeline/sequence. If there is a way to view the audio tracks in the source monitor without the clips being in a timeline I do not know how.

Can you turn the source monitor upside down?

We shooting a lot in gimbals. In the upright mode you have the footage upside down. Our eyes and brain are going crazy. Is there any way to switch the footage in the source monitor from upside down to normal?

Use the Master Clip feature (vertical flip and horizontal flip).
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Master Clip Effects

How do I audition separate audio tracks in the source monitor?

I don't see anything about this in the Help doc.
I want to listen to all four tracks independently from a P2 card, but when I load a clip into the Source Monitor, it sounds like I'm only hearing one track, or maybe I'm hearing all four. I honestly don't know what I'm listening to.

You're listening to just one; Premiere Pro is screwed up in this regard. Monitoring audio in the Source Monitor is limited to one track at a time, be it multi-mono or stereo.
Switch to the Audio Waveform view, and then click the Track selector; it's defaulting to Track 1.
Unfortunately, this only stays active for the current clip. When you're done screaming and swearing, please file a feature request for smarter audio monitoring: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Premiere Pro CS6 freezing when markers are right clicked in the Source Monitor

When I right-click a clip marker in the Source Monitor, Premiere takes 100% of a CPU core and just hangs until I Force Quit it. This is on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Has anyone seen this before or know how to fix it? It's a blocker for me... I can't get much work done like this.
Here's a sample of the frozen thread: http://pastebin.com/Uce7qCzQ. It seems to be stuck in HandlerSourceMonitor::SourceMonitorView::OnChapterMarkerStatus.

You're absolutely right. To clarify, this happens on the entire area and also the "Marker" menu at the top of the screen.
I managed to work around the problem after a few hours, once I realised some clips were not showing this problem.
1) Identify problem clips (by watching Premiere crash).
2) Re-open Premiere and put the clip in the Source Monitor.
3) Make a note of any markers in the clip.
4) Press ⌥⌘M to clear markers without opening the menu.
5) Re-add markers manually.
That seems to have done the trick of cleaning out any "bad" markers. Thanks for your help!

Why can't I open a sequence in the source monitor?

Normally when I edit, I use pluralize, which creates a sequence in which I can take notes. I usually then drag that sequence into my source monitor, create in and out point and place that into my final timeline. For some reason, Premiere is not letting me drag the file I need into the source monitor. Any idea why? Is there something with the settings off?
Please help

What's wierd is that some Sequences can be brought into my source monitor without a problem, while other's cannot.
I also noticed that the ones that can't be brought into the source monitor, if you were to import them directly onto the timeline, they are imported without audio. Those that can be brought into the source monitor import with audio and video.
Any ideas?

Will Setup Assistant allow me to choose a new user name or must I keep the user name on the source computer?

The source computer is an early 2008 Macbook Pro running Mavericks. The new computer (it's in transit) is a 15" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display, also running Mavericks. I want to copy all files, settings, apps etc from the old computer but I do not want the same computer name or the same user account name (short name) on the new computer. Can Setup assistant do this?

Detect displays seems to have quit working? The secondary monitor is bleeding into the MacBook Pro monitor. How can I fix this?

I am using a MacBook Pro 2009, Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8). All of a sudden last night after a long day of work, my monitor resolution changed without warning and the secondary monitor display started bleeding into my laptop monitor. When I go to detect displays, it doesn't fix the problem. It looks like I need to switch to a larger display setting and the largest setting has disappeared.(The display seems to default to this setting where my screen bleeds into the laptop monitor.) When this started happening last night, I immediately shutdown and restarted to see if this would fix the problem. So far, it's still not looking too good.
I also tried shutting the laptop and using the external monitor only. When I do this, the monitor freaks out and keeps flashing on long enough for me to input a password. Then it flashes off, the computer and dipslay goes to sleep and I have to re enter my password to exit sleep mode and the process starts all over again.
Here are screen shots of the two monitors side by side:
http://danisco.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/monitors.png
(Notice the weird overlap - it's not keeping me from working, but it's super annoying!)
Any ideas on how I can try and fix this? OR do I need to get help from Apple directly. Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this!

Okay - this issue seems to have resolved on it's own. Yea!
I did find a thread that suggested resetting the PRAM/NVRAM so I did this, restored the external monitor to factory settings and went into Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions and verified disk permissions.
Here is a link to reset the PRAM/NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
These things may have helped resolve this issue. I can't tell what worked because it was hours after I did all these things that my monitor and computer decided they liked each other again. If you have a similar issue, maybe these steps will help you resolve your problem too.
Hope this is helpful!
