Glitches in media cut into sequence

I have a series of subclips from one reel that play in the viewer window but when I cut them into a sequence they play back as glitches--green screen/wrong clip/jumbles that jump all around. It doesn't happen with all of the clips from that reel, or even all the clips from that scene, just a few from a particular scene.
When I try to open the reel itself to view it, I get a message about needing a codec and that the computer is out of memory.
I tried trashing the media and bringing over a copy from my back up drive, but the same thing happened. I trashed preferences, thumbnail cache, and render files, tried new sequences--nothing has fixed the problem.
Here's the weird part: When I play the clips and cut them into sequences on a different computer, they are just fine...so the media doesn't seem to be corrupted...
I just noticed that the field dominance for the problem subclips is listed as Upper (Odd) and the compressor is listed as Uncompressed 8-bit while all of my other subclips are Lower (Even) dominance and DV-PAL compressor. Could this be the problem? How would I go about changing this? (Original media is in Hungary--yikes)

I get a message about needing a codec...
Open one of the clips in QuickTime Player. Press command and i keys to open the Inspector window.
Tell us exactly what it says next to Format.
I just noticed that the field dominance for the problem subclips is listed as Upper (Odd)...
All video formats have upper field dominance except DV, which is lower.
How would I go about changing this?
First tell us the codec that your misbehaving footage uses. Do you have more of that or is your footage mostly DV?

  • Error message when cutting a sequence into a sequence

    When we try to cut a sequence into another sequence, we either get a nested sequence (the nest tool is turned off) or we crash with this error message:
    We are in Premiere Pro 2014.2 with our media on a server.  I moved the entire project to  my local drive and tried it that way but had the exact same result.
    I switched the General Settings and changed the Mercury Playback Engine to software only.  It did not help.  I have no unlicensed plug ins and cleared my media cache.
    I've spoken to the Adobe help line (!argh!) but he was unable to fix the issue.  He did delete all of my settings I was starting at the defaults.  This did not help either.
    Has anyone any experience with the above error message?
    Thanks.

    Yes.
    I see now that I can paste into the layer I am copying from, but not into any other layer. If I lock my source layer, I can't paste at all.

  • Problems cutting a sequence into another sequence

    Hello,
    We have followed the steps outlined here:  Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Edit from sequences loaded into the Source monitor  to cut a sequence into another sequence without it nesting.  We are on Premiere Pro 2014.1.   We often need to work in the same episode but want to combine the work at some point so we need to be able to mark in and out points on a sequence in the source monitor and cut that into a pre existing sequence on the timeline.  We have turned off the 'nest' button in the upper left hand corner of the time line but it randomly works.  Sometimes it nests, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it just crashes.
    We have tried very short sequences and have better luck with them, but we need to be able to cut in more than two minutes of material at a time.  Cut and paste also doesn't work.  This is a huge inconvenience in our editing pipeline and very frustrating since both Final Cut and Avid do it easily.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks.

    I just created a test sequence with an hour of multiple clips and was easily able to cut sections of that into a another sequence. The feature is functioning perfectly and as expected for me. I tested on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5, 2.7 GHz i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA 650M.
    You may want to conduct standard troubleshooting procedures, including trashing preferences, media cache, preview files, repairing permissions, checking permissions on all Adobe preference folders, and if none of those things work, reinstalling.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Has anyone else experienced a glitch when making cuts? Many of my cuts slip a frame or two when moved from source monitor to sequence and it started with the latest update

    Once I updated to the latest version of Premiere 2014.2 I started experiencing a glitch when my cuts would slip a frame or two. At first it was randomly. Then I had footage I was using that was an .avi file that I converted to .m4v using vlc and now in my Premiere project, are having the greatest difficulty keeping my original cut that I create in my source monitor. When I bring it into my timeline, the new frames are added. When I double click the clip into my source monitor, I see that my original cuts remain, not shifted. Looking back in my timeline, unwanted frames are still there. I have to bring it into my source monitor to guess where the right frame would be to compensate for this. It happens more often with the converted files but still happens to .mp4s as well. I am using a Mac Pro 15-in from Early 2011. Thanks for the advice in advance!

    I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes 11.2.1 (1) update yesterday. It appears to have corrected this issue to a large extent: plugging in an iThing to sync no longer seems to cause explosive growth in memory footprint. leaks reports a much slower growth in dead memory:
    leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
    Process 27307: 353 leaks for 726488 total leaked bytes.
    20 minutes later:
    leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
    Process 27307: 364 leaks for 1256056 total leaked bytes.
    20 minutes later, after DLing updated apps and doing another sync:
    leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
    Process 27307: 364 leaks for 1256056 total leaked bytes.
    Memory allocation started at 70Mb, grew to 200Mb, and appears to have stabilized there.
    I'm going to keep an eye on it overnight, but it looks as if this may not be a complete system killer as it was before, at least in my case. In any case, I can highly recommend this latest iTunes update for anyone else experiencing this specific issue. Updating bug 16772016 with this new information.

  • Verizon recording cut into my conference call

    Verizon recording cut into my conference call and everyone (100 people on the call) heard it. I was listening to the conference with the mute on (*6). My phone rang--which everyone heard--and the Verizon message that goes to the caller came on. Everyone on the conference call stopped talking as verizon said, "The person you are trying to call cannot be reached at this time. Please call later." This went over the conference call twice. Can I prevent this or is it a Verizon glitch?

    Whilst I have no idea about Verizon ,I use a similar device in UK receiving cellular over broadband in property and I have wired broadband with unlimited use
    However the device is certainly using bandwidth over my wired service when active
    I would try to get a definitive does it or doesn't it and if not  then they will cover any cost if they are wrong

  • Want to import avchd footage from a media card into FCE.

    Trying to import avchd video from a media card into Final Cut Express. Panasonic DMC-ZS3 / FCE 4.0.1 / MBP 10.6.8. Have taken a look at the footage using a trial version of Pavtube MTS Converter.

    A further comment : this is AVCHD Lite, and there are several online recommendations for software to convert files for Mac. Any suggestions??

  • How to move a sequence, and only the media in the sequence?

    I need to move a 30 min. sequence, and associated media, to work on a different, remote editing system.
    I'd like to just get the media in the sequence with maybe 5 sec. handles. Every test I've run through Media Manager has copied each, complete, original media clip (not just the portion used) - many of which are over 20 minutes long - despite having only used a small portion of each clip. (So in the media manager Summary section the bar graph of "original" amount of space used, is always the same as the "modified"). In the past I think this was called "Bounce"...
    2. If I accomplish this, can I email the sequence data only, and have it link up in the original editing system, or will the media file names be so unique that the original system won't recognize them and link up.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi -
    Question 1: The obvious first question is - did you select Delete unused media from selected items?
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/MediaManagerDeleteUnused.jpg!
    If you did, does your media have a Reel Name associated with it?
    2) You can email the project sequence information (you will want to zip it first before sending), Then you can relink to the media as long as the media has the same names. If will be a matter of re-directing the sequence to the new directory location of the media - which you will do through the Reconnect dialog box.
    But you might want to just buy an external hard disk drive, copy the media and project there and FedEx the whole thing to your collaborator.

  • HT204392 Mistakenly dropped media card into DVD Slot..How do I get it out?

    Help, dropped a media card into my DVD slot.  How do I remove it?

    ok..I was able to remove the media card by propping up the computer on its side on two 4x4 lumber, then reached
    in the slot with a thin feeler guage and pulled it out.  The slot has a flexible boot of sort which inhibits the
    media card from falling out. 

  • Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

    When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
    Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
    Many thanks,
    John.

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

  • Need to cut into a mask to reveal layer

    I need to cut into a mask to reveal a layer. I have a alpha image with thousands of lights scattered around the image. I'm laying the lights layer over an image of a city to create more lights in various buildings. All I need to do is create some form of mask that when I cut into it reveals the lights below which is over the city. It's a basic question but I'm stumped. Thanks peeps.

    Just target the upper layer's layer mask and set your paint brush to a good size black paint and paint the area you want the light to show through from the lower layer.  Black will make the current top layer's opacity transparent in the areas you paint over.

  • Cutting into new clips without using " Transition effects"

    What is the best way to cut into new clips in a smooth fashion without having to use a Cross Dissolve, etc. I am trying to create a more matter of fact experience with this project.
    TV productions successfully go from clip to clip without transitions.... What magic is behind solid swithcing between clips in the timeline without using transitions ?
    Thanks !

    I have just noticed that you are talking about rescuing a current project.
    My comments about cutaways still apply, but whether you will be able to shoot some "extra" footage now will depend on the nature of your film. Most things are possible with a little ingenuity.
    If your film was about the first Mars landings and you can't get there to re-shoot, all you need to do is to take a trip to Australia where they have some scenery EXACTLY like the Martian landscape - indeed there is a classified US base on the edge of it!
    Alternatively, and cheaper, you could shoot domestic footage and whenever the astronaut was about to have a jump-cut, you could have a flashback to his home life.
    So with a little imagination most problems usually can be overcome.

    PS.I do NOT subscribe to conspiracy theories and would never suggest that the martian landscapes NASA filmed were actually shot in the antipodes.

  • Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting).

    Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting). It was possible in the previous version of Premiere but now, when I drag the sequence into a new sequence it's not mergind all video and audio into one clip anymore. It was REALLY usefull. How can I do it again. Don't tell me to NEST sequences... this is not the same and now what I need. I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence so it was easy to add effect on the entire sequence and also, my audio clips were combine into that one clip sequence too which was amazing. Now, with Premiere pro CC, when I drag that sequence from the browser into a new sequence, I get the original sequence... just like if I've copy/paste the entire sequence... = really bad and useless !

    I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence
    That is nesting.
    But with CC there is now the option of adding the sequence as a one clip, or adding the original clips from the sequence.  You'll find the switch in the top left of the sequence panel, under the timecode and near the magnet and wrench icons.
