Effect changes in the timeline not changing output.

So I used and external matte key ("set matte" in premiere speak). Rendered it and output it. The client wanted it to occur earlier. So I slide the matte reference clip earlier in the time line, leaving the effected clip in place.
Now the effect occurs (somewhat) twice. It happens in the new timing where is should, then it happens where it did (but without the background, just the foreground being keyed over black.) So it's seems to be trying to apply a matte key where there is no matte clip on the matte reference layer, but there WAS a matte clip in the reference layer
I've reapplied the effects, relayed the video tracks, deleted the renders about a hundred times and rerendered, applied solid black/white to the matte reference layer, anything I can think of. It seems this effect is somehow "Cached" in the timeline and won't get released.
It gets weirder. Sometimes I'll render it and it looks fine. Then I'll output a (Prores HQ) master and the black will be in the output, but not the master. Then I'll reopen the master and it's got the black.
I remember posting a similar question a while ago, but never saw any final resolution. How can the output file be different from the rendered timeline? It's starting to make me feel like premiere is almost unusable if you can't reliably get a product out. For me, this is a serious problem.
Anyone have any idea? There may be a simple solution, I just can't figure it out.
Thanks.

Jeff,
I got it figured out:
File / Revert to Original did not work.
However, this did work:
The updated PPro Sequence was/is shown in the Encore Project Assets panel, so...
I deleted the old/exising Timeline (in Encore).
I highlighted the new/updated Premiere Pro Sequence in the Encore Project Assets panel.
I clicked on the 'Create A New Item' icon at the bottom of the Project Assets panel.
Then, I clicked on 'Timeline'
It (Encore) then created a New Timeline from the newly/update sequence that I had updated in PPro.
As far as the difference between a Timeline and a Sequence goes, I think I also answered that question for myself also..
A 'sequence' is an asset that can be used in a Timeline.
A 'timeline' is an organization of assets layed out in chronological order.
I do appreciate your help though. Everyone on the forum has been great!
Thanks again!
Kent

The right audio channel is no longer heard after effect assignment in the timeline

Sorry, but my English is not so good, but I try to explain the problem:
Once I clip any one assigns an effect in the timeline, works when playing only the left audio channel channel. Once I pull the clip from the timeline into the project window again, then works again the left and the right channel. How do I get the right audio channel in the interface window active again?

When I look at the properties of the file in QuickTime, here's what it shows:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Left
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Why it's telling me the other 3 channels are unused, I have no idea. They certainly are getting used. The footage was shot in stereo and Final Cut plays it in stereo.
Here's what VLC says about the very same file:

Creating merged clips from the timeline not working, any advice?

I am syncing HDV video captured with guide audio, with four track audio recorded onto a Hard Disk Recorder. I need to sync in the timeline as there is not always a clap, but there is plenty of guide sound with the picture. I want to make a merged clip that I can then work with.
I bring everything in - sync it - and highlight everything but find that the link command is dimmed, it is not available.
The 4 track audio, and the video with guide sound both come in to the timeline already linked so I tried unlinking them when I first paste them into the timeline and making them independent clips, before I synced them together but that made no difference. The linking tool (Modify-Link) is dimmed and thus when I drag them into the browser they become many different files, instead of one merged clip. Can anyone suggest a reason why this is not working for me?
I'm running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
thanks very much..

I think I can answer my own question. It seems that several separate files were made in the audio but only one take made in the video, and FCP will not allow the clips to be linked if I'm trying to link one take of video with three files of audio (pasted onto the timeline one after the other under the video). But If I cut the video and link the segments one at a time then I can merge the clips independently. It's not ideal but it makes sense.

Audio stopped in the timeline, not muted. Plays in preview, how do I get it back?

Exiting CPTX did not reset either.

Please, could you give more details? Just guessing: when you preview, play the slide you do not hear audio? In that case check the small audio icon on the Timeline, maybe you clicked it and it got muted? And with Preview you point to the other Preview modes (like project, in webbrowser, next 5 slides) when a temporary SWF is generated. Since audio plays there, it must be the small audio button that has been clicked.

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

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.

FCP X crashes when dragging effects into the timeline

FCP X will crash when I try to drag an effect from the effects panel into the timeline. This happens for effects, transitions, titles - the lot.
The weird thing is, this only happens on some events, others are fine. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a fix?
Thanks,
J

Unfortunately I can't get that far in the process to be able to answer your question.
The crash doesn't occur when I try to add a transition to a file or storyboard - it happens when I try to drag the transition outside of it's own panel.
As you can see in the screenshot, when the file being dragged touches the red line, FCP shuts down without warning.
Very confusing and annoying!

Panning In The Timeline

Can a track's panning parameters be accessed and effected while in the timeline? or does one have to be in the viewer only in order to be able to pan? And if you can pan while in the timeline . . . well . . . how is it done??
Thank you very much all in advance,
Javier Calderon

Ooh! Look what I found!
"To change the pan for a clip or clips:
1 In the Timeline, select the clip or clips you want to pan.
2 Choose Modify > Audio, then choose a pan option from the submenu.
Â Pan Left: Pans audio all the way to the left stereo output (Control-comma).
Â Pan Center: Centers audio evenly between left and right stereo outputs
(Control-period).
Â Pan Right: Pans audio all the way to the right stereo output (Control-/)."
I'm going to try it out and report back!
Thanks all again.

How to I get a marker name to show in the timeline?

I must have done something to disable it, but I recall marker names displaying in the Timeline when a marker is selected. Now I have to open the marker to see the name. How to I re-enable the display so marker names show in the timeline?
(Yes I looked in the FCP manual, but just try and find something like that in the PDF file!)
thanks
Scott

Are the markers on the clips or the timeline?
You might try view>show overlays
They're on clips and on the timeline itself.
Show Overlays does display them on the timeline (not in the Viewer), but it also displays in/out points and audio timecode. Is it all or nothing?
thanks,

Move many clips in the timeline

Hi all,
What is the easiest way to move many clips in the timeline, not all of which are contiguous. Reinserting can be continuous. ( My move, I am implying a ripple delete and insert.)
Thanks

Reinserting can be continuous.
Can you expand a little on what you mean by this?

Why do i always have to render even if only move the footage in the timelin

I just edited something in fcp and this wasn't happening, how come it is now.. must be a setting? Thanks!

Rendering is required usually when applying effects or when the timeline codec / dimension differs from the clip settings. What are yours?
See Shane's tip on how to handle non-standard codecs...

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
- Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.

Is it possible to change the duration of the timeline in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

I'm used to working on Avid systems where the length of the timeline is determined by the last asset in the timeline, where it ends. I'm editing commercials and don't need or want a 10 minute timeline. Does anyone know how to change the duration of the timeline, like you can in After Effects? I've tried everything I can think of and It seems like it is not possible.... Thanks!

Now, if you are seeing a Duration for your Timeline, that is longer than what you "anticipate" with your Assets on it, then you could well have an "Orphan," out beyond the anticipated end. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Good luck,
Hunt

Changing the length of still images in the Timeline

Since a still image is just one frame, the manual says that I should change the import value to 00:00:00:01. Is there a way to control (change) the lengh of the still once it is in the Timeline? Thanks.

To change the duration on the timeline, control-click on the clip in the timeline and from the drop down menu choose "Duration". You can set the duration you want in the window that opens.
I am not sure what manual you are reading, but the import duration is entirely up to you. If you think you are going to be using the stills for approx. 20 seconds, set the import duration to that (go to the menu Final Cut Studio > User Preferences and on the Editing Pane set the Still Freeze Duration to the time you want.
The effect of this change will take place on the next files you import, and will not change existing imports.

PO change output not triggered after deletion of line item

Hello SAP experts,
I have one issue with PO output
I have created PO with output type & we are outputing through ME9F( 3- Send with application own transaction)
Below is the sequence,
1.PO created & outputed thru ME9F
2.Now ,i added the line item in the PO,Output triggred but not processed.
3.I deleted the line item immedietely,Output not triggered.
(My question is Why the output is not tiggered?)
4.I outputed it through ME9F,vendor will receive only 1st output & never get the 2nd o/p for the deletion of item.
I am clear that after processsing the 1st output,then only i can process the 2nd.
But in business point of view,this scene created the problem.
Please provide your valuable input.

Hi,
In IMG - Materials Management- Purchasing-Messages - Fields relevant to Print out of changes
Enter Table EKPO , Reference Field LOEKZ, tick on change print relevant for purchase order,in routine enter 03.
Now your Output will be triggered with a change indicator and you can process it using ME9F.
