Go to In(Out) Point problem.

Windows XP, Adobe Premiere 4.2
1. Put any video on timeline.
2. Set In Point (hotkey "I") and Out Point (hotkey "O") in any different places of the video.
3. Zoom in work area until points goes out from screen.
4. Activate Timeline window and press hotkeys "Q" or "W" (Go to In Point or Go to Out Point).
   As result, pointer goes to In or Out point, BUT WORK AREA STAY ON THE OLD PLACE.
   If hotheys "Q" or "W" pressed in Program Monitor window, work area centered on the new pointer position.
Can you see the same?
Is this a bug?

After more than a month of frustrating conversations with Adobe Support, here is what they say
about this feature that was present in all previuos versions but does not work in CS4 (i.e. bug).

Hello,
Thank you for replying , I am responding in reference to your web
request posted on 12/18/2009.
This is not a bug as it looks like. When timeline is selected and zoomed
to a particular area, it is focused on that part so that the user can
check details and if he jumps to out point that is not in the view at
that point of time, the playhead jumps to it, but time line does not
scroll to it as the system has focused the time line on the other part.
This has to manually moved because in the zoom mode it is assumed that
user is checking out that particular part and might be lost if the point
is jumped. This can look like a bug in small projects, however in big
projects, where workflow is very complicated; if the timeline focus
changes and it will be very difficult for user to locate the previous
locations again.
The shortcut is meant from the Program monitor to function with respect
to Timeline. Thats why when program monitor is selected the time line
jumps to points along with playheads as editing is being performed in
program monitor and not in timeline.
And if timeline is selected, the editing is being performed in timeline
and not in program monitor. Thus if accidently also, the shortcut is
pressed, the timeline will not move and all the work will not be lost in
large and huge projects.
Aparrently, it is for our own good... so we don't "get lost" on a long timeline.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I have filed a bug report on this.

  • After Effects CC  GoPro Footage In Point / Out Point Problem

    On the left you have the imported video made by GoPro hero 3, imported intto AF cs6. On the right.. The same Video imported to AF CC latest version.
    For some reason. AF CC screws up the timecode of the video and i cannot figure out why. Moreover... when exporting Camera tracker from GoPro video to Cinema4d... the camera is not working.
    Any help would be welcome.
    Kind Regards

    when exporting Camera tracker from GoPro video to Cinema4d... the camera is not working.
    That would require to see the shot, but based on the thumbnail it's pretty obvious that the shot may not at all be suitable for 3D tracking and solving to a logical 3D camera. I don't see a timecode issue, either. Depending on how those cameras actually store it and maintain their counter, it seems perfectly logical. CS6 may just not have fully supported the source timecode and thus reverted to its default behavior defining the beginning as zero.

  • Problems with in/out points when submitting jobs via Terminal/command-line

    I've writting a GUI based script which allows a user to select a source Quicktime file, and will encode that file to multiple formats, and trims each destination based on specific timecode in/out points. However, I'm having problems getting the Compressor command-line interface to honor the in/out timecodes that I've explicitly set for multiple jobs within a single commandline.
    In other words, if I want to encode a source Quicktime between 01:00:00:00 and 01:00:29:23 with just ONE setting/destination, then the following commandline works:
    /Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov  -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923
    But if I try to append multiple settings/destinations to the commandline, Compressor will only honor the -in/-out arguments which appear in the LAST -jobpath instance in the commandline.
    For example, the following commandline will properly encode the file to multiple destination files, using the appropriate .settings file, but it ignores the -in/-out points that were set for any -jobpath instance that appears before the last -jobpath instance (in other words, every file is output using 00:59:57:00/01:00:30:01 as the in/out points, instead of having the "*_OTWC.mov" file output using 01:00:00:00 as the in point)
    /Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov  -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923 -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/HNN-HD.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_HNN-HD.mov -in 00595700 -out 01003001
    It's wierd that everything else about this command-line syntax works as expected (and as explicitly stated in the Compressor -help output, which says "when submitting individual source files. (The) Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch"), except for the -in/-out points.
    I've even tried quoting the -in/-out arguments using colons (e.g., -in "01:00:00;00") , but this doesnt appear to change the behavior.
    Is this a bug, or am I missing something here?

  • Problem - Title Cards in Vid Track 2 Skewing In and Out Points in Track 1 ?

    Hi,
    Vast confusion. I'm working with edits in a timeline, created from video files that are "Avid Meridien Compressed" Quicktime Files. These are files that I exported from Avid. They are 24P files. The timeline has been set to 23.97, and everything in Video Track 1 makes sense, no problems, no render line because the project compression settings have been set to "Avid Meridien Compressed".
    Ok, so here's the problem. I am creating title cards with the video generator in FCP, and trying to super them into my edits by placing them into Video Track 2. But the moment I drop a title card into Video Track 2, (over an edit I have made in Video Track 1), there is a SHIFT in the in and out points of the source video in the timeline. For example, let's say an edit in my timeline has a source in of 02:02:30:17 and an out of 02:02:35:17. The moment I try and drop a title card over this edit in Video Track 2, the source video in Track 1 shifts, so it now begins at 02:02:31:29 and ends at 02:02:36:29.
    It is as if the title cards refuse to conform to the 23.97 timeline, and are overriding the source video edit decisions in Video Track 1.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is occcuring? Does anyone have any suggestions for a remedy? BTW, I have also tried creating title cards in photoshop and dropping them in, but with the same result: it changes the source time code edits by shifting them later into the source video.
    Thanks,
    Mtbakerstu

    Update!
    While I was never able to get the Vid Track 2 title cards to stop shifting the edit decisions in Vid Track 1 when using the preset that is in tandem with the actual source video files (Avid Meridien Quicktimes at 23.98), I did find that by changing the Sequence Setting to DV/DVCPRO50 NTSC at 23.98 that I could drop the titles into Vid Track 2 successfully without any skewing of edit decisons. You now have to render the timeline, but a quick test of an MPEG2 export showed that there's no denigration in image quality with using this setting.
    So that's the scoop. It seems that there's no pure solution to this issue. Perhaps if there's a way to generate title cards out of Avid that are importable into FCP, that would do the trick, but I haven't taken my research that far.
    Thanks for your help!

  • New problem/bug when I set in and out points on a clip. Unwanted automatic zoom in on clip timeline.

    Playing clips to log and set in and out points for scenes I will use later.  Something changed with the new update and I think it is a bug.  When I hit the I and O keys to set in and out points on a clip before dragging to the sequence, it zooms in on the clip timeline.  I cannot see the full clip time line unless I zoom out which is a pain to do time and time again.  How do I get it back to the way it was before?  It did not used to zoom in and out, it just marked your in and out point as it played leaving the clip timeline unchanged.

  • Problem with 23.98 can't type in and out points

    Using FCP 6.06 with G5 and Kona 3. When I try to either digitize footage or edit to tape in 23.98 fps I can't physically enter a timecode value. When I do and hit enter it defaults to a random timecode. It will not except the number I type.
    My gen lock is fine. I even ran a direct reference from our HDWF500 deck directly into the computer. Kona was happy, I had deck control but no ability to type in my in out points.
    The easy set up I had selected was Kona 3 10bit uncompressed 23.98spf.
    The strange thing is that it works fine with a 29.97 or 59.94 tape or time line.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    This actually happens to me all the time in FCP - never in Avid's capture tool.
    Usually I open and close the capture tool (Apple + 8). Pull the deck control, change deck control settings to non-controllable and then back again. A tell tail indicator that your deck isn't talking to your Kona is the jog/shuttle in the capture window. I test that before I type timecode into the window.

  • Problems with set in and out points

    I am editing a basketball game-have done 20 of these games. Suddenly, I cannot change the set in point. If I make a new set in point, my last edit disappears from the timeline. How do I correct this?

    I DO make sure the clip in the timeline is not selected when I set the new in and out points in the source clip. I have not been able to figure out anything that is different from the usual way I do this that is why this baffles me. I use PP daily and this seems to happen about once a month. I can't figure it out. I save, quit and restart the computer and then it works as it should. I was trying to understand so that I could prevent this from happening.
    I do appreciate your common courtesy, Craig.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • Freeze up during clip capture with random change of in and out points

    Having BIG problems capturing DV footage which began late last Fall. While performing a capture (assigned clips) footage would go down for a few seconds then would freeze (picture only, the audio continued) then after several seconds the picture would "catch up" and continue.
    Found a solution here in the FCP forum where I had my firewire drives "ignored" by SPOTLIGHT by listing them in the privacy selection. Worked and moved on.
    I have a project now where the problem has come up again. Once again during a clip capture it did what it did before - but now it ignores the assigned in point (audio but no video and almost consistently delaying it by 9 seconds into the capture) then freezes (at the assigned outpoint - sometimes) then continues to play on (audio only) then resumes (again catching up) then stops announcing a SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE. When the clip is selected to preview it plays back from the incorrect in point, freezes, then plays until the catch up - with now the audio out of sync. More craziness because now the log information now has changed: the MEDIA START & END information is not what was inputed so the DURATION TIME is now different and sometimes it adds a MARK OUT point (!?). I rarely use the CAPTURE NOW function but even trying that the footage still freezes up and goes out of sync.
    I worked the SPOTLIGHT routine again with no change. Have completely optimized my system drive and external hard drives using DISKWARRIOR 4.1
    I accept all the auto software up dates that come through UPDATER and see that I received a updated Quicktime version 7.5 on 13 June 08. I also noticed that I don't have CLASSIC OS 9 supported and seemed to have read here about something about FIREWIRE DRIVERS that maybe missing?
    Was thinking of upgrading to 10.5 to see if that helps - but unsure about my FCP version/compatability...
    So, here I sit frustrated since I have used FCP (which I LOVE) for quite a few years with great success - this is crazy! OF course, I have a project which deadline is looming!
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciation..
    Here's my computer stats:
    G4 Powerbook
    OS 10.4.11
    FCP 5.0.4
    QT 7.5
    Sony DSR-11 recorder/player
    4-Firewire Drives with 20gigs of space available

    So far have done a workaround to digitize my DV elements through iMovie. Not pretty. I string together the selected/import clips (in this case from interviews), assemble them in sequential order on the time line with small breaks of black in between, then export the timeline as DVCPRO/DV-NTSC quicktime file. Take that file into my FCP then segment out the clips on the time line, make each segment an independent clip so that I can name them. Not pretty but it works - miss having the logging data going through FCP log and capture.
    Still waiting for any other solution to my situation - thanks!

  • In and Out points not showing in source monitor

    I've noticed this in the past couple of days: setting in and out points in the source monitor, the indicators don't show in the time ruler.  In other words, even though I set the in and out points, it looks like nothing has been selected. 
    If I put the clip into the timeline, the in and out points I chose are respected, but they just don't seem to register in the source monitor, so I can't have confidence in what I have selected.
    If I open another clip in the source monitor, then go back to the one I was working on, magically the in and out points are there again.  Strange...
    At the same time, if I apply audio gain to a clip in the source monitor, it sometimes doesn't "take".  It shows that gain has been added, but there is no change in the sound volume when I play it back in the source monitor.  Again, if I put the clip in the timeline, the volume is as it should be and the waveform reflects this.
    So, is there some underlying bug affecting how clips are dealt with in the source monitor?
    I'm on the latest version of Premiere CC 7.2.1 on Windows 8

    Thanks for these suggestions.  I'll try and answer each one:
    Is the Source Monitor zoomed out to show the whole clip? If not, please zoom out to see if the In/Out points are getting painted in the wrong place initially.
    Yes, it is zoomed out.
    Do the clips have non-zero start timecode? If so, please try with a clip with zero-based timecode. (If you don't have one handy, you can create one fairly easily by exporting a sequence with start TC of 0;00)
    The problem is intermittent and in this project all the clips are DSLR .mov files.  The problem occurs with some of these and not others.
    Have you done anything like setting a custom start timecode or interpreting footage to change the frame rate?
    I haven't set a custom timecode.  It's true that there is a mix of 24p and 25p clips in the project, but surely this only presents issues in the timeline rather than the source monitor?  In any case, I haven't gone to interpret footage on these clips.
    Is this happening with all types of project items, including simple clips on disc, or only with certain items like merged clips, multicam sequences, subclips...?
    In this project, the only type of clip I'm using is simple clips.  There are nested sequences; I'm not sure, but possibly the problem has also presented itself when these are brought into the source monitor - but not exclusively with those.
    I hope this helps.  This is the first project I have worked on since the latest upgrade and I didn't come across this problem before.  As I say, it is intermittent, and it's hardly crippling - just annoying when it happens!
    Thanks

  • Removing between and in and out point in the timeline

    I don't usually post on forums but this has got me quite perplexed:
    How do you remove a chunk of media between and in and out point in the FCPX timeline?
    It's can't be as hard as it seems to do this task that you have to do all the time. I have a 2 hour 3 camera shoot and I want to remove quite a few 2, 3 minute chucks all through the show. I can't find any way to easily remove these chunks. I know there's no real in and out point in the FCPX timeline anymore but there HAS to be some way to easily remove all the video and audio between two points !!!
    I feel really dumb! The answer can't be to make a compound clip as that sure is a pain just to remove something from the timeline. And to blade each individual track means I have to blade at least 8 or 12 things just to remove it!
    I have to be missing something. Thanks for any input.

    Thanks Tom.
    I'll have between 3 and 6 layers at any point. I've tried command B but the problem with that is it only puts a cut on the primary storyline. It will cut more than that if I select all the layers. By doing that it's like a 5 or 6 step process to delete chunks of media in the timeline. I can't believe there isn't an easier way than that.
    But what makes it worse as I have a long piece of audio only media that  is for the whole show. Its a connected clip to the primary storyline. when making edits with command B and then deleting what is between the edits this main audio gets deleted from the edit forward. IT's like this audio becomes a connected clip right after the edit when command B is made. it looks connected to the next clip after the command B but it deletes when I delete the chunk between the command B.
    This is so silly that I can't easily delete media from the timeline in this way. It's such a simple thing!

  • Color is changing the clips in and out points

    I tried to import into color a fcp7 sequence.  The original footage are quicktime clips.
    When the project opens in color, the in and out points of the clips are not there and it gives me the beginning of the clip.
    With other footage that I ingested in FCP I don't have a problem.
    Can someone explain this to me.
    Thanks

    >The original footage are quicktime clips.
    What FORMAT of Quicktime?  Because QT is just a container that can be one of a dozen codecs.  Color ony works with certain codecs, like ProRes, HDV, XDCAM, DVCPRO HD.  If the codec is anything but those...it will have serious problems.

  • DVCProHD 720p Round-Trip in/out points mismatch?

    Always a joy working with v1.0 of software I understand the difficulties the FT-users must have endured.
    This is not a unique problem, as a search in the forums reveils. Just trying to give as much information as possible towards finding a solution.
    I'm currently working on a project:
    -Footage shot with HVX200 (European model) DVCProHD 720p25 (not 720p25pn).
    -Footage "Log & Transferred" to FCP 6.0.1 on PowerMac Quad G5, 2.5GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6600, OS X 10.4.10, QT 7.2 and all Software Updates (as of July 26)
    -Edited in FCP 6.0.1, straight cuts, no effects or transition. All footage in the sequence on video track 1 in the timeline.
    -Media Managed the project in FCP 6.0.1 to a new location deleteing unused media. (as suggested in another post)
    -Opened the new Media Managed project in FCP 6.0.1, used Send To Color.
    -Project opens fine in Color 1.0.1, except all media in the Color timeline are to short, in/out points mismatch compared to the FCP 6.0.1 sequence timeline.
    -Made some test Color Corrections, Rendered All, Renders OK, Save project and Send To Final Cut.
    -Imports to new sequence in FCP, but with gaps between the shortened media in the timeline. Same shortened media length as in the Color timeline.

  • When Batch Capturing, Final Cut doesnt notice Media Out points

    I have logged about 20 clips with all of the in and out points set and correct. I have put them in a logging bin and choose batch capture and it begins the process just like usual. However now it wont stop when it comes to the out point of each clip the camera will just keep running until i cancel the batch capture. What could be wrong? any help would be great. thanks

    You need more than one hard drive. Capturing to your system disk is not a good idea and will bite you.
    The in/out ignoring issue could be a problematic QT install or a problem with the firewire protocol.
    1. Make sure you are using the correct Firewire (Basic or std) for your camera/VTR first.
    2. Make sure there is no interference between external hard drives on the firewire bus and your camera
    3. Use the Apple QT7 reinstaller
    Cheers,

  • Send to color changes some in/out points

    This is confusing me a lot. I send a sequence to color and about half the clips (all in succession) export just fine, while the others (again, a group of clips in succession) have completely different in and out points than they did in my Final Cut timeline. What's even more weird is that the in points or outpoints didn't jump to the beginning or ending of the clip - they look like they were just randomly picked while preserving the clips length.
    My sequence is HDV if that means anything at all.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have found that HDV can be graded natively in FT, but it's certainly not simple, and could be the origin of your problems. More likely are speed changes. FT hates them, and Color, according to the manual, handles them only to a certain extent - Constant Speed only. It hates Variable Speed effects and stills.
    Having said that, the timeline in Color/FT is a different beast from what we're used to - shots can slide around a bit and still find their way back to FCP, albeit with some adjustment needed later.
