Edit point glitch in Preview

Hi All,
In a simple title sequence, I cut from a title frame with white letters on black to the same type of frame with a line added. What you see is a main title and then a subtitle pops on under the main title.
This looks perfectly smooth in FCP and the Quicktime conversion. But when I play it in DVD preview there's a jump or glitch at the edit point. Not a smooth pop-up.
I wonder how to fix this. I don't want a "mistake" in the DVD file that's created for burning.
Thanks,
Robert

If you stay within FCS2 / apple's pro apps exclusively (meaning FCP => DVDSP) then yes you can address this issue with many more tools at your disposal and with far better results (especially for audio, titles, and extreme fine tuning).
However this is not the case with apple's i-apps. High Precision modifications become more cumbersome within apple's i-apps because the supplied tools have more limitation and are IMO overly standardized in an attempt to make them more user friendly.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

ABAP or JAVA edition of the sneak preview sap netweaver ??

Hi we want to install a local enviroment to test sap netweaver, in particular, sap portals.
We have seen that there are two edition and I have some questions:
1.-What's the diference between the ABAP and JAVA edition of the sneak preview sap netweaver? The abap does not include the portals, true?
2.-is possible to install both, ABAP and JAVA edition of the sneak preview sap netweaver?
3.-Are there installation guides and how-to of the sneak preview sap netweaver?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

1) The ABAP side is more of the SAP basis platform which R/3 runs on top of. You have ABAP programs, Data Dictionary, Function modules, etc. Portals does NOT run on this side. If you are just looking for portals, then just install the java stack.
2) Yes it is possible.
3) There are a few weblogs on the subject.

Disable Edit Point Selection

An old thread turned back up recently and reminded me of this. I know a lot of keyboard editors requested edit point selection and Adobe has catered to that request. Unfortunately, a lot of us combo editors (keyboard/mouse) are now stuck with a feature that actually slows down the edit process. I'd love to return to the way 5.5 worked in this regard - no edit point selection, and only Slide or Ripple edits available with the normal Selection tool (V), with Rolling edits requiring the switch to the Rolling Edit tool (N). So, here is a Feature Request that can be copied/pasted into the Adobe form.
Please add a new option under Edit>Preferences>General... labeled "Allow Edit Point Selection". With this option checked, Premiere Pro would function as it does in CS6 and the user would be able to select edit points in the sequence. With it unchecked, Premiere Pro would function as it did in 5.5 and no such selection would be possible.
Regardless of how that box is checked, please remove the ability to perform Rolling Edits when the standard Selection Tool is being used (V) as it actually interferes when trying to access the normal Slide or Ripple edit functionality. For Rolling Edits, we have a Rolling Edit tool. We do not need that functionality doubled up.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

I canreally understand why "drag and drop and mouse trim" (plus razor tool) editors might dislike Edit Point Selection functionality.
So...I dont mind if you guys do get your wish as regards making this an OPTION....but I do not want it to dissapear or get broken!
I am fine with Edit Points and have adapted to it by a simple change of how I "edit the cuts and trims". I really like my new "edit style" but admit I also get caught by it occassionally.
In that regard....I wont support your Feature Request because I am fearful that something else will get broken in the process of fulfilling your wish.... or something else will change that I have to adapt to again.
Good luck anyway.

Editing pdf files in Preview painfully SLOW with mavericks! Why? How to fix?

Editing pdf files in Preview is painfully SLOW with Mavericks! With mountain lion everything was so smooth .... Why? How can I fix this?

I stopped using preview. Adobe Acrobat Pro is running fine ... this is not a solution to the problem though. The question remains open: why is preview not running as before?
Why did I upgrade?!

CC 2014 - Go to Previous Edit Point gone?

It seems this button has been replaced with an identical-looking "Match Frame" button, which either opens the selected clip in the source window on the current frame, or does nothing if no clip is selected in the timeline. Is there a way I can get Go to Previous Edit point back? I used it really extensively so this change is a pretty big deal to me.

Have you looked in your Button Editor?
Here's an article that goes into details about the ability to customize the buttons in Premiere Pro.

Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?
Matt

With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

Cannot speed clips up without it ruining edit points

Hi I am having real nightmares with Premiere. It just never seems to do even the most basic tasks properly.
I am simply trying to create a benny hill style spoof. I have cut the sequence at NORMAL speed. Then I selected all video clips in the sequence and chose Clip Speed Duration and put in 250%. I have tried both with Ripple Edit on and off. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Each time it speeds up the clips but the edit points maintain the exact same positions in time. In other words the whole sequence is screwed up because at 250% speed, each clip effectively runs longer and the edits are useless. What could it possibly think I mean when I speed up the clips and then tell it to ripple edits? I have absolutely no idea what is going on here? Is this yet another bug with this software. I have recently moved from Final Cut and never had any such problems in that tool. Does anyone know what is going on? I tried nesting the clips into one but then the option to set speed is not available so that's useless.
Thanks for any help or an explanation of why this is happening. This is CC2014 by the way

Ok I just worked it out. I have to click the link thing next to speed. I can't say I'm impressed with this usability though. If I have created edit points why would I want to trash them by speeding up a clip? Surely it makes complete sense to scale the edit as well. So if I'm speeding up all clips, logic would suggest that the sequence will be shorter surely. The way this works by default is completely non sensical in my opinion. Of course it may be that I accidentally activated this option and the default is to scale clips on changing duration. Any suggestions here?

What's the quickest way to put edit points around a selection?

In the timeline (TL) I have made a selection inside a clip (using the Range Selection tool):
What is the quickest way to make this selection a separate clip (as below)?:
PS Saying 'put edit points around' and 'make separate clip', I guess are always the same thing, so I have mixed my terms!?
PS I have currently been using: CMD + X, CMD + V, but this is a hack, not a method, so there has to be a way, right?

Thanks to you all for quick replies, especially Andy for quickly understanding me.
Yup, I used the Range Selection tool. It's a great tool, when for e.g. you want to lift ambient room tone from a portion of an audio clip to paste elsewhere.
Anyway, I am just experimenting thoroughly with all the tools and workflows, to find quickest ways of doing things. To answer your question(s): an example in which you would want to do what I mention above is if you wanted to quickly apply particular Effects/Parameters/Settings to a portion of a clip, like a sepia tint, and wanted to be able to easily click back to that portion later, see e.g. below:
Thanks again

Is there anyway to have Premiere Pro recognize the "in" & "out" points and the sequence's "home" (first frame) as edit points so that the up & down arrow work as short cuts on these areas?

Is there anyway to have Premiere Pro recognize the "in" & "out" points and the sequence's "home" (first frame) as edit points so that the up & down arrow work as short cuts on these areas?

Hey guys, I wrote a big long speech trying to be more clear and was just getting more confusing. LOL
Hopefully this image makes my question a bit easier to understand. In green you can see how the up and down arrow keys land while in Final Cut. In red how they land while in Premiere. I'd like them to land like Final Cut. Thanks!

Can I mark multiple edit points during live video capture

I'm scheduled to provide edited video clips immediately following a live event coverage. I know I can capture live signal via uncontrollable source, but how can I mark edit points on the fly for quick turnaround edits once the event is complete?
I'm using a new 2011 MBP 17" i7, 8GB RAM, SSD and FCP Studio 3, connected to firewire feed from another device being fed by the camera operator.
Thanks all

Thank you Andy, Nate and Patrick.
I took Cut Notes with me on my wife's iPad to the shoot this morning and was thrilled with the speed and ease of use that got my project completed, selected clips edited and posted and the customer happy before leaving the venue.
You can see some of the clips here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rnc+chair&aq=f
Portions of the audio will be used on NPR this evening.
Any thoughts whether this capability might make it into FCP X so I won't need to carry the iPad to my next shoot?

Mask edit points won't show up

I've created a mask so that I can rotoscope someone speaking. I need to go back and make some changes, but I can't seem to be able to get the edit points of the mask to reappear.
Here's what I've tried:
With the Mask track selected in the layers window.
I've selected in the canvas where the mask is a chose the "Edit Points" in the pull down menu. A check mark shows up next to "Edit Points." And "Adjust Control Points" is selected in the tool window.
What am I missing? Is there a show edit points view or something?
Thanks!

you might have turned off your overlays. lines and handles need to be ticked.... sometimes the pen tool that i use to make my lines and handles disappears and is replaced by a different tool... but still does the job of the pen.. LOL

Audio extracted and deleted but short noise remains randomly at edit point

the more I paste over at playhead and extract audio the audio bug occurs at edit point which then cant be deleted (titles or transitions not used)
Can anyone suggest how ot fix this
Cheers
Mike

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply.
I have zoomed in on the timeline and the audio files are always completely deleted.
I extract audio a lot when making a programme as I feature interviews with inserts pasted over at playhead. It seems the more I do this the more likleyhood of this audio bug occuring randomly. If you had any workaround ideas they would be much appreciated.
I dont use transitions or titles when this fault occurs
Regards,
Mike

My clips are pausing at edit points. Any idea why?

Hi, I'm editing some quicktime (.mov) footage that I have ripped from a domestic DVD camcorder in FCP 7. It plays fine and there are no issues with the quality. However, when I cut the footage and move it alongside another clip, it pauses at the edit point and then continues. It will then pause at the next edit point and so on. Why is it doing this? Are my settings out? I've checked them out and they seem ok. When I move a clip away from being adjacent to another clip it plays fine. It just doesn't like having neighbours. Is this a common problem and is there a simple fix for it? Please advise.
p.s. My apologies if this isn't written in the correct format. This is my first post.

Thanks for your reply - as you can tell it's taken me a while to return to this project.
I ripped the footage as a QT mov using H.264 codec at a bit rate of 2,500. The resolution is 720 x 480.
My FCP set up is - DV Pal 48khz. This is my usual setting and normally welcomes QT movies.
Do you think I need to change my settings? Or do I need to convert the source footage?
Your advise would be appreciated.
Alan
