Drag and drop to timeline cc

Suddenly, Premiere cc wouldn't drag and drop video files from project panel to timeline (it would the audio portion).  After much reading of similar issues from Google (not directly from the forums!!!), it seems that in my case a track must be "enabled."  This is entirely new for this edition of CC on this computer, and is not required on the same version of CC on another computer.
So what changed and why does this have to occur every time a new project is started? I would like to know, so whatever is wrong can be corrected.  Two or three things changed prior to the problem: ran malware bytes (newer free edition), CC cleaner, and disabled and replugged the keyboard. 
For this my situation is is NOT disenabling-enabling the drag and drop context start menu.  Is was a very frustrating and scary moment, suddenly not to be able to drag a video to the timeline, and I don't see why it was necessary to spend several hours searching  Google to find the answer -- particularly when I pay big bucks (for me) to Adobe every month!
Does anybody know what happened and how to fix this permanently?
Thanks in advance.

Ok ... fixed
Here is the way http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/944828
In your sequence, on the left most column you should see a V1 (left of the Lock Track button). Click that to make sure its highlighted, it allows you to drop video to the sequence.

  • Drag and Drop / Parallax / Timeline

    Hi! there's a way to execute timeline by dragging? (ex: drag right direction = play timeline normally || drag left direction = play reverse)
    i would create a parallax draggable, but don't find nothing 4 execute a timeline animation, use always a scrollbar!
    tnx...

    Hi AppleMan -- thank you for the reply. I think perhaps I understated my wife's competence. She's studied the online tutorials and also looked through various help resources. Let me invoke a passage from the tutorial you linked:
    "...once you have a few clips in your project, you can change the order by simply dragging them around."
    Unfortunately in her case she can't. When she attempts to drag them around, the application will not place them where she indicates. Instead it will randomly drop them elsewhere in the timeline. This is the problem.

  • Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Here's the short-cut solution:
    Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
    HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
    Make sense?

  • IMovie '11 on 10.6.8 greys out contents of library, so I cannot drag and drop clips to timeline.

    This has happened on multiple occasions. I don't know why Apple can't figure out how to create a reliable program. I have been using iMovie for several months now, updated to '11 in April, on OSX 10.6.8, and usually it works fine, but occasionally, out of the blue, all of the clips in my library will be greyed out. I cannot edit them in timeline unless I go to each clip individually and open up the separate editing window, I cannot drag and drop the clips to timeline, I have to manually copy and paste, and I cannot see any of the clips unless I roll over them with my mouse. My free trial of Final Cut Pro just expired and I have a couple of videos that are almost finished and this is extremely frustrating. I have seen others with similar experiences and I'm wondering if there is anything at all I can do about it. Thank you.
    P.S. I did try restarting the program about 5 times and restarted my computer. Nothing gives.

    Of course, I might have found a fix right after posting this. In case someone else comes along with the same issue...
    I closed my MBP cover, and re-opened (this solved a menu bar issue I was also having). I re-opened iMovie, and deleted the project I had started that couldn't be continued. I started a new project, and things seemed to work just fine. So I'm not sure what it was that caused the problem, but so far it seems to be working now. Good luck!

  • I can't seem to drag and drop more than one video on my timeline ? Only the audio will appear ?

    Hello, I've been working on Premiere for a year now
    I installed 2014 a week ago, and until today I haven't had any problems.
    When I drag and drop the first video, everything works fine, until I try to drop another video.
    The second video won't appear on the timeline, except for it's audio
    Which is weird to me because everything worked well on the CS6
    My sequence settings are
    Custom
    30 frames/second
    16/9
    sample rate : 44100Hz
    quickTime
    +H.264
    The first video's properties:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 576,0 MB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 30,00
    Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Mono
    Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
    Total Duration: 00:04:41:28
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    The second video's properties:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 583,1 MB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 29,97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:04:45:15
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    (it's a .MTS)
    What is weird, too, is that when I added the first video, I couldn't add it "Again", the same thing happened
    Any help? I need to finish the project by tonight :/

    My QuickTime version is the 10.4 (no idea if it's the latest one)
    What do you mean by my system properties ? My mac ? If so then its a 16Gb 1600MHz DDR3 + Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 1024MB, an OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    "What happens when you import the files onto a non-quicktime sequence?", well I don't know how to create a sequence before dragging a file on the timeline on this premiere, so I dragged the "Second video" first and it created a sequence with AVC Intra 100 1080i
    29,97 frames/second
    preview file format AVC-intra class100 1080i
    what's weird is that I could add the second video once, but not twice, and I can add the "first" video several times (it's weird because the sequence was created from the second video's properties)
    To answer your last question, the same thing happens too. I can create another sequence with the "Second video", add the "First video" 10 times but I won't be able to add the second video a second time.
    On the other hand, when i created another sequence with the "first video", I will be able to add the first video as much as I want, but I won't even be able to add the "second" video once.

  • GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.

    GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.  It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
    I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before.  I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
    Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?

    Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.

  • Can't Drag and drop clip to timeline anymore...???

    Hello,
    Since recently, I can't drag and drop clips into the timeline nor to the preview window anymore!
    All that happens is that the clip moves out of the viewer (it's like being in the preview window).
    And when I choose adapt all, it actually fills the screen but only on some ( ?! ) clips...
    I can insert/overwrite/etc using the F9-F12 short cuts. They work like they should.
    I guess I changed some settings.... thanks for your input...

    *it only lets me add songs via playlists.*
    Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos", if there is a check mark there then the iPod is set to update manually and you have to drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod to load them on. If you want to update automatically you need to remove the check mark from there (I would also remove the "enable disk use" check mark unless you want to use the iPod as a removable storage device) and click the Apply button in the right hand corner:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Managing content manually on iPod
    *And why can't I simply see the music on the iPod via iTunes?*
    Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song list.

  • Trying to drag and drop a text parameter, but it only applies to one letter

    Hiya,
    In Motion 3, you could drag and drop a Text - Style Parameter to another text object.
    Now, in Motion 4, when I try to drag a Parameter it only applies to the first letter of my text object.
    So when I drag my Glow from one object to another, my Bleary In Behavior has a blue glow on T in THIS and a yellow glow on HIS in THIS.
    I'm guessing this has to do with the ability to adjust each letter with the glyph tool. However, it won't allow me to drag the Parameter to each individual letter...
    Which I see a need for...
    But why would I want to do a time consuming thing like that?
    It's stupid.
    Any advice is much appreciated!
    Thank you

    Well, I'm not sure what to say. I can't replicate your problem. I can drag the outline parameters onto a text object in the viewer, layers pane, or timeline and it copies it exactly as it did in Motion 3, over the entire text object.
    However, if I have the glyph tool selected and try to do the same thing, it crashes Motion 100% of the time.
    Neither situation is what you're reporting though. It helped me find a bug, and something to avoid however.

  • How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

  • Drag and drop to T/L, dragging vid with aud, no thumbnails, other errati

    Here's my first post, from my first Mac, on this forum in this great Apple world...
    I'm working through Diana Weynand's FCP6 training book and have the following oddities:
    1-drag and drop from the Browser to the timeline does not work. I can drag from the Viewer to the T/L, just not from Browser. Also, double clicking in the Browser no longer loads the clip into the Viewer...which it did the first couple hours.
    2-working in the Timeline, I drag a video clip, but it's corresponding audio clip stays behind. Is there a way to link them, or should I use a different tool than the Select arrow?
    3-No thumbnails either in the Browser or on the T/L, just a plus sign. No message about Offline or similar. Is Reconnecting the best remedy?
    Also, MBP questions.
    Is there no way to delete Right of the cursor, only the Delete key, moving Left?
    How do I access/activate the NumPad key functions?--I could use a link to an MBP keyboard function tutorial.
    Is there any driver or plugin to simulate a mousewheel on the touchpad? I miss it for zooming. This is a 1yr old 17" MBP with C2D 2.4GHz SantaRosa...
    thanks,

  • Drag and Drop in Organizer

    I am new to Premiere and am trying to add media to an existing project. It appears that I should be able to do that from the Organizer. From what I have been reading I should be able to just drag and drop media within organizer to the premiere project. However when I drag any media over top of any project a circle with a cross through it comes up indicating that I can't. Is this not possible from within the Organizer?

    You are probably dropping the media at wrong place in PrE. You need to drag the media from Organizer into the Media(Project->Media) Panel of PrE first.
    Then you can use the media in PrE.
    Other way is right click your media in Organizer and select 'Edit with Premiere Elements', this will import the media in PrE and also add it to the last of the timeline.

  • Drag and drop interaction and restricted forward navigation

    I am using the Infosemantics widget in a captivate 6 project and it works well, but I have now been asked to restrict the forward navigation until the learner has completed the drag and drop and I can't work out how to do this as there isn't obviously anything I can assign an advanced action script to with the widget.  Any ideas how I can approach this - I don't want to have to code a drag and drop from scratch.

    Lieve is correct.  Anything you want to be executed as a result of the user's interaction with the widget needs to happen either via the On Success event, or the On Last Attempt (fail) event. 
    In the case of the Interactive Drag and Drop widget (as is also the case with all of our interactive widgets) you also have preference options that allow you to give the user multiple failure attempts by setting the preferences for Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action.  If you want the timeline stopped while the user is working with the interaction you can also set the Disable Continue option so that the widget remains paused.

  • Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

    I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
    I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
    I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

    Hi Pete,
    You can obtain scripts here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
    You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

    Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,
