Elements 13 - Clips won't shift after trimming

Working in PrE 13, after trimming clips on the expert timeline, the following clips stopped shifting for me in the middle of a project. I need them to shift, similar to a ripple edit. Has anyone experienced this? Is there an easy remedy that I'm missing?

Thanks for the reply.
It could very easily be the project deteriorating because of computer resources and complexity of the Timeline content. But, it might also be the nature of the clips that are now
surrounding your area of interest (content on track above or below or adjacent to). Have you explored that areas of interest before and after the problem set in.
I am not sure how much you would gain from the point of reversing the situation that you are in, but you might try starting a new project to determine if you can get the shifting that you lost in the problem project.
Just be careful that you do not box yourself into a situation where the project will not open. Do you see any other signs of performance deterioration? Is it possible that you are moving faster than the project under those circumstances and not giving the project enough time to respond to your command?
I will be watching for further news in the morning.

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor - Won't work after Maverick upgrade

    I bought Adobe Elements 11 in March of 2013.  It was working fine until upgrading to Maverick.  It will not open now.  Adobe will not help without a serial number.  Apple does not provide serial numbers when you buy directly from the App Store.  After 3 hours of trying to unintall and reinstall, no luck.  Apple said to call Adobe back, Adobe says to call Apple.  Finally just asked Apple to refund me the $85.00.  They said said they ‘can’t’ since I’ve ‘had it for so long’ (7 months ?? ).  They said the problem was my fault because I didn’t check and make sure Adobe Elements was compatible with Maverick before installing Maverick.  I should mention that it states (on the App Store page) that Adobe Elements 11 is "compatible with OS X 10.7.5 or later”.   Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if any kind of resolution was achieved?   Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HELP - PE10 - clips move by themselves after trimming/splitting

    Whenever I split or shorten the beginning off a clip on the timeline, it moves itself along the timeline automatically (along with any other clips on the timeline) to occupy the beginning point it started on.
    This is making it very VERY difficult to keep footage in sync with soundtrack.
    Is there any way to switch this awful *feature* off?
    It's almost unusable for simple music video editing!

    Bill,
    You are most welcome.
    Not exactly how Adobe determined that the default for PrE should be the Ripple, as it is the Insert with PrPro. I suppose that they studied how their two, different target markets worked, and decided that PrE-users would want Ripple most often, while PrPro-users would want Insert - they are just the opposite, though that Ctrl/Cmd modifier key swaps from the default in each program. As I use both, I often have to pinch myself, to remember which program I am in, to determine if I want Ripple, or Insert.
    For general editing, the Ripple is the most useful, at least in my Projects, but doing music video, I can certainly see why you would want Ripple OFF, as things could easily get messy.
    Glad that it worked for you, and happy editing,
    Hunt

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

  • IMovie Won't Let Me Trim Clip Length To Less Than 1.0 Seconds

    Anyone have any luck trimming clips down to less than 1.0 seconds?
    I'm doing some video editing on iMovie for which I want to trim clips down to about 0.4 to 0.6 seconds depending on the audio track I'm trying to match. I can't seem to get iMovie to let me trim a track down past 1.0 seconds. When I try to trim it, the length just stays at 1.0 seconds. I HAVE been able to take a clip that's 1.0 seconds, split it, and then end up with two clips of 0.5 seconds each. However, when I try to make any length adjustment on these shorter clips they automatically jump back out to 1.0 second lengths and I'm back to square one.
    Thanks in advance and happy iMovie-ing!

    I find that splitting a clip is much easier then trimming.
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/iphone/1.2/index.html#kna257fc915
    So I tend to scroll through to where I want to make and edit, and then split the clip, and delete the bit to cut out.
    And then you can go as close as about .4 seconds.
    Sadly iMovie iOS isn't really made for fast cuts.
    So the only advise I can give is to split clips to get them shorter.

  • How can I save .mov file as another .mov file after trim from Pre9?

    I would have thought this would be simple.  Just like I can crop a still image in Photoshop and save it with a new name (or the same name), I expected to be able to trim or split an .mov file in Premiere Elements 9 and save the resulting file(s) under a new name (or the same name) while preserving the same format.
    But SIX hours later, NO.
    Instead, after I split or trim the .mov file, it seems to be held hostage inside a project that won't let it go.  I even tried "exporting" it but the choices are different than the properties of the source file (a BAD thing), and the resulting two files from the export are unreadable on my computer (USELESS).
    The .mov file was shot with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.  Windows with Vista.  Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  I also have Photoshop CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3.4.x, if either of those would help.
    I'm sure that I'm mistaken,  There MUST be a secret menu option to SAVE-the-trimmed-CLIP-as-a-SOURCE-file.
    How could there not be something this basic?

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *** ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    Quoting Steve:
    "I'll say it once more: It's impossible to cut a piece of video and then resave your file.....[because] IT'S [against] THE NATURE OF EDITING VIDEO WITH EVERY VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE IN THE WORLD."
    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *** ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    I'm very pleased to say that I've found out how to do exactly what I wanted to do, despite Steve's strongly stated opinion that it is "impossible."
    I can:
    ..... trim or split a video
    ..... and save it under the same name or a different name(s)
    ..... WITHOUT converting it to something else before or after trimming
    ..... WITHOUT changing it from its original format
    ..... WITHOUT exporting (compressing) it
    ..... WITHOUT "rendering" it different in any way except my desired length change (and resulting smaller file size)
    This is desireable to me in order to:
    ..... save many gigs of space on my terabyte drives
    ..... while retaining source file footage that may be useful in future projects
    ..... IN ITS ORIGINAL (source) FORMAT !!!!!
    YAY!!!
    I got thinking about the software that came with my camera.  I didn't install it because it included things like a program to handle RAW images (and I prefer to use Adobe Lightroom 3) and a program that I thought might be similar to Bridge (and I really like Adobe Bridge).
    But I decided to install it and see if there was anything there that would allow me to work with the videos and sure enough, there it was - the ability to trim my videos of the junk while keeping the rest in original perfect format, just as it was shot. From a user's point of view, it is a precise video version of cropping a still image in Photoshop.  EXACTLY what I wanted to do!!!
    Here is a collage of the properties box of the "before" version (the original original), collaged together with the  properties box of the "after" version (the trimmed original).  The properties boxes are the properties as reported by Adobe Premiere Elements 9.
    In the above-shown collage of the screenshots that I've made for you, you can see that nothing has changed in terms of the properties.  The only changes are the length (because I cut it), the file size (because it is MUCH smaller now), and the name (because I wanted to preserve the original file in order to make a screenshot of its properties for you). I WANT TO REPEAT - the new CUT file is identical to the original, except the unwanted portion has been cropped away. It was NOT compressed, it was NOT rendered, it was NOT exported.  It is a true source file utilizing original footage in its original format.
    (This forum limits images to 450 pix wide so to see that all the relevant format properties are the same in both properties boxes, you may have to increase the size through your browser by holding down the [Ctrl] and hitting the "=" key (the one with the "+" above the "=" sign).)
    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *** ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    Here are the steps I took to make the screenshot above:
    1 - Opened the original file in Canon ZoomBrowser EX 6.7 (which came with the camera).
    2 - Trimmed ("cut") the file by placing a start point and stop point around the desirable footage.
    3 - Saved under a different file name.  (NOTE:  This was a true save, NOT an export, NOT a "render" of some sort.)
    4 - Switched to Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and started a new "project."
    5 - Used "Get Media" to pull the original version and the cut version of the video into the project.  NOTE:  I pulled the cut version in first, so if there had been a format mismatch (as compared with the DSLR-1080p30 @29.97 setting I normally use when creating a new project), Premiere would have said so.  But there was NOT a format mismatch.  And it runs perfectly, just as it did before, including audio.
    6 - Right clicked each video and took a screenshot of the properties of each to show you.
    And this means I can use the trimmed footage for any purpose down the road, yet I didn't have to save the entire file which included unwanted footage.  And I've saved a considerable amount of space on one of my terabyte drives.
    SUMMARY:
    Easy as pie:
    I trimmed the excess off a video WITHOUT "converting," "exporting," "compressing," "rendering" or changing the format away from the original in any way.
    No loss of any type of data whether audio or visual or "other."  (Except, of course, the unwanted footage.)

  • How can I remove a gap after trimming frames from a video?

    I created a slideshow containing both photos and videos in Photoshop Elements 11 and sent it to Premier Elements 11 so I could trim the videos. When I trim the videos I get a gap that I can't get rid of. Besides trying the trim function, I tried doing a split and 'Delete and Close Gap' but the gap remained.  

    oldhokie67
    Whether or not you are doing a slideshow as you are, the Premiere Elements "gap" may not close with use of the "Delete and Close Gap" command. This is typically due to content being on the upper tracks. When this happens you use the mouse cursor to move the clips together to fill the gap. Often holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you make Timeline additions or maneuvers avoids disturbing other components of the Timeline.
    But, I would ask this...what did you use for the Output option for the Photoshop Elements 11 slideshow in its Editor? Did you use Edit With Premiere Elements Editor? And, if so, did you right click the slideshow when it arrived on the Premiere Elements Timeline, followed by the selection of the command "Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow"?
    Where are you trimming these video clips? In the Preview Windows Set In and Set Out points? Or, by using the split clip tab on the stem of the Timeline Indicator?
    The techniques mentioned above should take care of the issues that you mentioned. If not, please let us know and supply more details, including details of your workflow from the time the slideshow first arrives as a whole video (.psess) on the Premiere Elements Timeline.
    Thanks.

  • Display won't sleep after being in suspend once.

    When rebooting the computer, the display sleeps after set interval and can manually be put to sleep using shift+ctrl+eject.
    However if the computer goes to sleep or I myself close the lid to make it sleep, the display won't sleep again.
    The display won't sleep after set interval in power settings and when I press shift+ctrl+eject the keyboard backlit turns off but the screen stays on.
    The only way to make it sleep is to close the lid.
    I have tried resetting SMC and NVRAM but to no avail.
    I have the first generation aluminium macbook.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    I have had this problem both in 10.6 and 10.8

  • Why won't iMovie voiceover clips won't play sound!

    I've been using iMovie '11 version 9.0.9, to make a school assignment. I started two days ago and it was allw orking perfectly fine, until today when some of the clips won't play. It started after I deleted a voiceover clip to replace it with a song from itunes. When I tried to add the song it showed that it was there but it played no sound. I managed to get that song working by dragging the song onto the whole project and then dragging and pinning it onto the parts I needed it.
    After I got that working I tried to add new voiceover clips to the project but then there was no sund coming from that clip either! After about an hour of searching and fiddling I had just about given up when I played my project in the background and ran it through untill the end and I heard the last clip I added, that wasn't working before but now is.
    At this point I recorded another clip to add thinking my problem was fixed, but alas that voicover clip played no sound. I thought I might try running through the entire project again to see if that would help like the last time. But no, that was not the case, in fact even more sound clips have stopped working.
    I read in a lot of other threads that it might be a corrupt clip and it will have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it (or a spinnign circle?), but none of the clips have this! Is there something I need to do to see the triangle, if that is the problem? Or is it something completely different?
    Please help me I desperately need to get this working by tonight!

    Sorry, but there's a dedicated discussion forum for iMovie, where you might be luckier finding help.

  • Durations of clips are Randomly shifting - HELP

    I normally work in Final Cut Pro, and needed to do a piece in iMovie due to the fact I'm traveling and do not have FCP on the computer I'm working on. I've been building a cut out of still images, 3 different songs, fades, transitions, etc. and as I move forward towards the end and add images, music all the work I've already done keeps shifting, the timing keeps changing, and I have to go back and re-time everything - this is ridiculous. Durations of clips in the beginning of the cut are RANDOMLY changing - I just don't understand, but it is doing it. Everytime a clip randomly changes - everything after it shifts. I have no choice, this is for a family event and I do not have the time to redo in FCP or keep re-timing this piece - is there any way to lock the picture to audio as I go?? I am working in the latest versions of iMovie/OSX, etc. - thank you.

    One thought immediately comes to mind. When inserting a new transition are you sometimes changing the default duration of the transition in the Inspector? If so, make sure that the box entitled "Applies to all transitions" is NOT checked (ticked). If it is ticked, then all clips with transitions may have their duration changed (depending on the type of transition) due to the transition's length changing. Some transitions use extra frames from the clips when increasing the duration of the transition, for example, Cross Dissolve.

  • Restoring quicktime to original length after "trim to selection" debacle.

    After trimming a selection in Quicktime Pro, I accidentally saved the file, now I have a one-minute clip that is 9.7 GB on the hard drive. I'm using QTpro 7.1.5, how do I get my file back to the original length?
    I have seen this issue post on this forum twice before, and have tried the replace "free" with "moov" fixes posted there. However, that solution was for a QT 7.0 file, and there are some discrepancies ("[free" is "fREe" and when I change it to "moov", I get an unopenable file).
    A freind suggested dragging the whole thing into Final Cut, does anyone know if that will work?
    Please help.

    hi lown,
    I had the same problem as you, accidentally saved an unwanted trim over my original quicktime file. I found a solution based on this discussion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4136088&#4136088
    Basically you need a Hex editor to search and replace "free" to "moov" in the quicktime file. You can use a Hex editor like this one called Hex Fiend,
    http://www.ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/
    The thing is not to use "find and replace all" instead, only find the "free" that makes sense in a line, instead of the ones combined together with other characters (without spacing).
    Hope it works for you. After you edited it, save it as a separate file.

    my illustrator won't open after I install

    menya,
    I believe you may as well go straight to 6) on the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

    Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
    2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
    3. Holding shift, no luck.
    4. Holding X, nothing.
    How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
    If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
    It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

Maybe you are looking for
