Dragging single clip onto timeline crashes FCP

Hi
I am resizing clips but when I drag the clip onto the timeline, FCP shuts down.
This happens repeatedly both on Studio 1 and Studio 2
Please help.
Thanks

Thanks guys
No my media is good and not a problem of where they are stored.
I have gotten around this by dragging the clip into the source screen and then dragging it into the sequence monitor. It's more time consuming but much less frustrating than having FCP crash all the time.
Many thanks

Can't drag audio clips onto timeline in PPro CC

It doesn't seem to be possible to drag an audio clip directly onto the timeline any more without first importing it into the project.
In CS6, I could drag an audio file like a .wav, mp3 or similar directly on to the timeline. CS6 would automatically add it to the project, it would be conformed, and its waveform would appear in the timeline.
In CC, it doesn't add it to the project, and instead it creates what appears to be just an empty placeholder in the timeline. There's no waveform, and no audio is heard when the sequence is played.
With CC, it seems you have to import it into the project first, then drag it onto the timeline, creating an unncessary extra step.
Also, if after importing that audio file into the project you then delete it, it doesn't get removed from the timeline, it just stays there.

Feature is still there, has not changed.
Try clearing your media cashe

Everytime I drag a clip onto the timeline and it like scales up?

Okay, so ya know when you drag a clip onto the timeline and it asks you if you wanna change the sequence settings or keep them. I usually keep them but this time I checked dont ask again and now its zoomed in and I feel stupid!

W cant help much with feeling stupid...
But create a new sequence and start again is what we might advise.

Can't drag a clip onto my timeline

I just opened my newly updated version of iMovie on my newly updated version of Mavericks. While it's nice and all that iMovie has been upgraded, I feel like I have to learn how to use the software all over again.
That being said, after figuring out how to create a project, I tried to drag my first clip onto the timeline and it wouldn't work. The clip was also red. I've read that others have had the red clip issue, but has anyone had a problem with being able to drag clips onto their timeline. I found older clips that I had no problem dragging onto the timeline. It's just this particular clip.
Problem is that this particular clip was an MOV file created in Voila as a screencast in exactly the same way that I've done with so many other clips before. I import them into iPhoto and then the older version of iMovie never seemed to have any problem with them.
Is there anything I can do short of re-recording this particular clip, which is 30 minutes long!
If anyone knows the answer, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Mike

How are you trying to delete them?...are they all on one single track? What exactly are you referring to by your 'link button'? Do you mean the track selector just to the right of the 'lock' at left of timeline?
Try this...set an In/Out, make sure the track selector is highlighted, then hit delete or command-c (apple-c) to 'cut' it out.
If you want to delete more than one track at a time, you can option-click on the track selectors to select one or all.

Cannot drag clips onto timeline

When I finished filming footage using my iSight camera i tried to drag footage to the timeline but i no longer couldn't could drag anything. please post solution

Try dragging to the clip viewer instead of the timeline viewer.
If you need help, see your Mac's iMovie Help for Adding clips to your movie.
Then change back to the timeline viewer to edit your project.

After dragging captured clip to timeline, I have to render

Hi,
I'm fairly new to this business and have the limited version, FCE. Lately I have been having the problem that when I capture a clip (whether it's in a new project or an old one) and drag it to the timeline, I first have to render it before I can play back. Is that normal?
Thanks

How do you adjust the settings to get them to match perfectly?
FCP comes with about 3000 pages of manuals. But that's FCP. I've never used FCE. FCE must have something that can help you so open t the online help system and look for sequence settings. Or you can just start dropping every menu along the top till you find sequence>settings.
You will need the manual to figure out how to make them match because you will need to know how to determine what video format you have imported, how you imported it, and if any changes have been made to your media files by you improperly setting the software or if you have a hardware i/o that was not set correctly. None of those questions can be answered easily without you knowing much more about your system and how FCE's workflow is designed.

Can't drag down audio onto timeline from source window

Am using Premiere Pro CS4. If i have an audio only clip (WAV file), i double click and it loads up into the source window. i set my In and Out points as per normal, and then try and drag it down onto a normal audio track below .. doesn't work! the mouse/cursor continues to stay in 'scrub' mode on the audio source monitor, and this did not happen before!
Doing it with video clip (with audio) works fine, and i CAN also use the 'Drag Audio Only' icon that is there... but why has this changed? i'm used to dragging down audio (as I can with audio+video), and yet it's just stopped working.
This must be an option or button i've hit somewhere, and is not do to with mono/stero tracks or different sample rates. It's the functionality of the program that has changed, and i can't work out why and it's driving me mad!!
thanks in advance,
Geoff.

In CS4, to drag down the audio you don't click in the middle of the window like you do with video files, you click on the green bar directly below the waveform (or as you noticed, on the speaker icon.)

Generating thumbnails when shuttling down timeline crashes FCP

Hi again! I'm having a multitude of problems (each in a different post for lack of confusion).
When I open a project in FCP, and try to move down the timeline with the sliderbar at the bottom, FCP crashes. It seems to be related to FCP not being able to generate thumbnails (little pictures on each clip in the timeline). If I move down the timeline very slowly and let FCP generate those pictures, it's okay. But I sit there for five minutes scrolling down through my 20 minute project.
Any ideas about a fix for this? Thank you so very much for your time and help,

Thank you for the link!
I tried trashing pref's and this did not resolve all my issues, but it did fix this specific one!!!!
I will reinstall and see if this helps and get back to you.

Thank you for being so patient w/ me & generous with your time. I've been using FC since version 1.0...but problems with software are not my strongpoint. THANKS!!!!

Cannot drag iMovie clips to Timeline!

I imported some movies from my camcorder and when I try to drag them from the clip viewer, they just ghost out and won't move. I have worked successfully with this same camcorder and iMovie for many months. The only difference is these are longer clips and my hard drive memory is down to 3 GB. Could that be the problem? If so, how much memory will I need to free up?
Thanks,
Steve

If so, how much memory will I need to free up?
.. that depends on how large your imports are... but, it is widely recommended to have at last 10 - 15GB free on internal drive...
to avoid space problems, esp. on laptops with their "small" hds, you should consider buying an ext., firewire connected harddrive. - locate your projects there, the internal hd of your PB is then in use only for the "hidden" temp files of the apps and your system... (MacOsX alone prefers a 5GB just for "being a Mac"...)
in case, you buy a drive:
BEFORE usage, let Disk Utility re-format drive to "MacOsExtended/hfs"...

Can't drag audio files onto timeline

I can usually drag audio files (.mp3, .mov, .aiff) right into a project and it loads into either an existing track or automatically creates a new one.
I can't do that anymore as it loads up into an already existing track that has audio already on it and edited.
Simply cannot import new audio, on new tracks.
Any suggestions?

thanks

Probably a matter of source patching:

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

Weird problem moving clips to timeline!

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.0.3 in Win 7 64bit. Almost every time I start a new project, after I've imported my clips to the Project window, as soon as I move the first single clip to the timeline, ALL the clips jump to the timeline in random order, as if they were one big single clip!! Weird! If I Undo it, and then try again to move a single clip to the timeline, then it works okay...usually. Sometimes not, and the only way to correct it is to dump the clips and re-import them, or restart Premiere.
I figure this must be something I've overlooked in one of the setups, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. If I can get a single clip onto the timeline, then the rest of the session works just fine. Also, this doesn't seem to effect saved projects. Just happens when starting a brand new project. Any ideas? Thanks!

When they get imported into a Bin they are all "selected" (Highlighted) in case one wants to do some other group action with them (eg Modify).
CTRL- A will deselect them (ie unhighlight them) allowing one to use them individually.
Clicking off them = click somewhere else apart from the Highlighted files.
Got it?

Video clip won't follow Audio clip on timeline

Hi,
When i drag a clip onto the timeline, the video clip for example ends up on track V1 and the audio on A1 and A2. So far so good. But when I want to drag my video clip to track V2, one would expect the audio clip to move to A3 and A4. This does NOT happen. The audio clips are still on track A1 and A2. Does anyone have a solution for this?

While I know of no way to move both the audio and video tracks up or down together, I can offer two ways get them on the desired tracks in the first place:
when dragging, hover the mouse over the track you want to the clip to land on
In the Timeline, set Source Patching to the desired tracks, then use the Insert or Overlay command instead of drag-n-drop.
Once a clip is in a sequence on the "wrong" track, as far as I'm aware you're stuck moving the audio and video separately. I encourage you to submit a feature request: www.adobe.com/go/wish (and that's not just a canned suggestion; I'd love to have a shortcut for doing this!)

Single clip repeated 4 times in FCP timeline. SP 2 issue

Hi all,
Single clip repeated 4 times in FCP timeline, when I apply an effect to clip for in SP2 its applying it to all three clips? Why?

That's the way it works. You have 4 instances of one thing, you change one you change them all.
What you want to do is first Clip>Replace with Independent Audio File Project (this creates a new copy of that one instance).
Then when you effect that clip it is not affecting the other 3 files, just the new one you've created.
I suppose one could argue that the program should do that for you, after all some other program I use works that way - it creates a new file while not affecting the others (actually it gives you the option of both methods). Feel free to file a feedback request.
