Edit points in multiclip disappear

I've set up a multiClip, which I've gone through and edited but when I finish editing the edit points simply disappear when I get to the end of the clip. All the blue edit marks are gone and there are no edit points.
I've done this a number of times and always the same result. What am i doing wrong?
FCP 5
Thanks.
Pedro

I figured it out myself--my bad. I didn't have the 'button bars multiclip' option selected. I was changing my camera angle views in the viewer and canvas but not actually making any actual cuts to the video.

When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Edited photos in iPhoto disappear?

I frequently use iPhoto for photo editing and storage and have encountered few problems in the past 2 years. However.....
Some of my edited photos are disappearing! They show up as thumbnails in the event and elsewhere, but when I double click to see the image alone (in iPhoto), it shows up as a gray error symbol on a black screen. As this file is missing, I can't upload the photos to Flickr or do anything else with them.
When I revert the image back to its original, I can see it and upload it wherever I want, but as soon as I try to edit it again, it disappears.
Anyone have any solutions???

First try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
If the problem persists launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. after the above then your current library is damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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

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.

Mouse pointer will sometimes disappear

mouse pointer will sometimes disappear

I think dissapearring mouse cursor has been a bug since 10.4. happens to me every day regardless of whether i am using a computer with more than one screen or not, and regardless of the mouse being used. I agree that the problem has gotten much worse with 10.8, with both wired and non-wired devices.
after much research and thousands of dollars invested in different mouse softwares, input devices, and monitors, I have determined that old simple wired input products are better. wi-fi is getting worse. the less amount of monitors are better. apple brand input products are the worst, but more importantly, are not entirely at fault.
I would suggest anyone suffering from disapearing cursors, that are not wifi, bluetooth, battery, monitor, software, web browser or website related, contact apple and complain. lots.
personally, I think this is a marketing bug, eventually apple will be entirely touch based, the only true method of eliminating mouse disapearance is to eliminate mouse and cursor altogether. to assist that future of marketing, bugs like this will proceed to worsen.

My "edit playlist" button has disappeared!

Recently, my "edit playlist" button has disappeared all together when I right-click a playlist. I do know how to manually add to a playlist, but it's inconvenient. It's there when I click File, but I can't click on it. I've tried calling Apple, but of course, they wanted to charge me. I tried uninstalling iTunes, but it didn't help. I would very much appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks.

I'm slightly confused by your problem.
The only "edit playlist" option is to Edit Smart Playlist, which allows you to change the rules for Smart Playlists, but that does not allow you to add or remove individual songs. Here's a screenshot of the different Playlist types:
To edit a Regular Playlist, simply drag the songs you want into it, or delete the songs from it.
If you highlight a regular Playlist and click on File, the Edit Playlist is greyed out and cannot be used. Frankly, I don't know why it's even shown.
If I want to delete the song Dap Walk from this Playlist, I simply right-click it and choose Delete:

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.

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.

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites, etc" toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites" etc. toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

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?

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?
