Hotkey to Zoom Source window In / Out points?

When working in the Source window I realize you can use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, especially useful for making small trims in long clips. Is there a single click hotkey that exists or I can set, that will zoom the timeline in the source panel, edge to edge up to my in and out points? This would be better than having to constantly scroll, scroll, scroll to zoom in. Even with the Shift key applied to speed that up... I'd love to just be able to press a key and be zoomed all the way in.
Did try to search for this answer, and unfortunately "zoom" is just to popular a term to narrow it down.
Thanks!
Stephen

I appreciate the replies. Zooming-In isn't so I can drag the I / O points around, it's just to get oriented in terms of the time before and after that point.. Take a 10min clip with only :20 selected, it's hard to see how far forward or behind the cut point you've set if you are trying to just add in a slight bit of dialog, etc... sure you can scrub with the scroll wheel, etc... and keep playing the spot over again, I tend to get a better sense if I can visually see where the CTI is moving. When I find the new spot, I hit I or O to set that updated point... good for fine editing.
Ah well...

Ignore Source Out Point

Maybe I'm just having one of those mornings, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Premiere to Ignore the out point on my source clip (in a 4 point edit).
I see in the manual (I even looked in the manual!) that I should be able to select that option, but the problem is I am never presented with the option. It's possible I clicked a "Never show this again" type checkbox, and if I did, how do I get these choices back:
If the marked source and program durations differ, select an option when prompted:
Change Clip Speed (Fit to Fill) Maintains the source clip’s In and Out points, but changes the clip’s speed so that its duration matches the duration determined by the sequence In and Out points.
Trim Clip’s Head (Left Side) Automatically changes the source clip’s In point so that its duration matches the duration determined by the sequence In and Out points.
Trim Clip’s Tail (Right Side) Automatically changes the source clip’s Out point so that its duration matches the duration determined by the sequence In and Out points.
Ignore Sequence In Point Disregards the sequence In point you set, and performs a three-point edit.
Ignore Sequence Out Point Disregards the sequence Out point you set, and performs a three-point edit.

I've struggled with this function for weeks - I couldn't figure out how to change it! Just today I spent 10 minutes tracking it down as it was driving me insane that my source clip out points were taking priority over the out point I set in the timeline. I think part of the problem lies in some of the nomenclature surrounding this feature. First of all just to find the preference, its named Fit Clip and what I'm trying to accomplish has nothing to do with "fit to fill" - fit-to-fill is a speed function, not an edit/overwrite function - but it's labeled as "Fit Clip" in preferences. Then in the resulting dialog that controls this functionality we're presented with the fit-to-fill function as well as options to control in/out point priority but with confusing descriptors 'trim' as well as 'ignore' for essentially the same functionality. Ignore is probably the most accurate of the two, but using trim here is absolutely wrong. Trim to an editor is a specific function not related to overwrite editing with in/out points (or a speed change like fit-to-fill). So why is 'trim' being used to describe what is essentially edit point priority? And why is a speed change function (albeit one induced by an overwrite edit) lumped into the same dialog?
My solution: make the fit-to-fill functionality a keyboard modifier, like option or shift while dragging from the bin or invoking the Overwrite function. Then change the nomenclature surrounding the Fit Clip dialog: remove the fit-to-fill option, remove all references to 'trim' in the dialog and rename the 4-point edit functionality to edit point priority.

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

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.
I am using windows 7 with Premiere Pro CC

Hi,
Thanks for your post. I think you are using Premiere pro CS6 as the Project option is included in the file menu and in the video there is an option of project available and visible. Please update your CS6 with the latest 6.0.5 update and the issue will be fixed. The link is provided below. Please update once issue is fixed.

PRE 8 and/or PRE 9 Preview Window set in & set out point buttons won't work on my desktop computer.

On my deskotp machine, the set in & out buttons don't do anything. I have to manually drag the pointer to the current time indicator. The situation is identical on either version 8 or 9. On my lapotop, as they should, the set in & out buttons work instantly to move the set in or out points to where ever the current time indicator is.
The laptop is a Dell Core 2 Duo with 2 Gigs of RAM, the desktop is a Core 2 Quad with 4 Gigs of RAM. Both are Windows XP SP3, Anyone have any ideas?

By "Preview Monitor," I assume that you mean the Source Monitor, accessed when you Dbl-click on the Clip in the Project Panel, to Trim it. Is that correct? You are then using the I key (eye) and the O key (oh) to set the In & Out Points there, correct?
If so, I cannot imagine that your desktop has had those two keys re-mapped, as sometimes happens with the modifier key shortcuts, where some program that loads at bootup will remap certain keystroke combos for itself, and then when one launches PrE, those keystrokes are still assigned to another program, though it is not running.
Does the keyboard on your desktop rely on a driver to function properly? Almost all wireless keyboards, and most "custom" keyboards do, while most USB, and similar, plain-jane keyboards do not. If it does have a driver, I would check for a newer one. If none are available, I would then reinstall the driver that came with the keyboard - test.
Otherwise, I am at a loss to explain why the I & O keys do not set the In & Out Points in the Source Monitor, as they do on the laptop.
Good luck, and maybe others will have seen this behavior, and can help you.

Insufficient content for edit, four point editing, ignore out point on source

Hello folks,
I'm a long time FCP 7 and Avid editor currently using 8.2 for two short form museum films and have been running into all sort of questions. This one comes up multiple times a day. I tried to search for this here but didn't find my exact issue or answers.
I am trying to do a four point edit and I keep getting the "Insufficient Content for Edit" error. My source is marked in and out for 5 sec and my timeline in and out is marked for 8 sec. Four points total. I have already checked the Ignore Source Out point in the Fit Clip window and have checked the "Remember" box as well. My source definitely have enough footage to fill the marked 8 sec in the timeline. So why isn't PP ignoring the source out point when I commit the edit? Of course, I works properly if I go to the Source window and remove the out point manually but that's a pain and shouldn't be the way. Is PP not capable of this? or Am I doing something wrong? What is the point of the "Ignore Source Out Point" if it doesn't apply to this very common situation?
Thanks for any help you folks can offer.
CHL

I think I know what the issue is.
When the Fit Clip dialog opens for me and the source is shorter than the destination, "Ignore Source In Point" and "Ignore Source Out Point" are grayed out. In other words, when the source is shorter than the destination, my only option is to ignore sequence in or out points.
If my source is longer than my destination then it allows me to check ignore source in or out. However, if I have Premiere remember this choice, when I try to insert a source clip that is shorter than the destination, I get the error that you get.
It's obviously a terrible setup and shouldn't be like this, but that's why it's happening.

Why does't the playhead snap to in/out points in a merged clip in source monitor when using up/down

It seems to work on non-merged clips. And within the sequence the up/down keys work as exprected. But in the source window, with a merged clip (at least that seems to be the problem) the up/down arrows only take you to the beginning or end of the clip.
Message was edited by: cjderosa1
I'm amending this after further investigation. In an un-merged clip, the up/down keys do snap you to in/out points in the source monitor. But they fail to do so in a merged clip. In the sequence - the keys also fail to snap to in/out points.

You can use these hot keys:
Go to Previous Edit Point (enabled track) - Up
Go to Next Edit Point (enabled track) - Down
Go to Previous Edit Point on Any Track - Shift+Up
Go to Next Edit Point on Any Track - Shift+Down
Of course, you can re-map these keys to suit your preferences.

I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly. Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

In and out points resize the time line bar on preview window

Hi cornellweb,
Update to Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5). This should solve your issue.

Program window is slightly zoomed in versus the source window

Hello, I've used final cut for years and have switched over to premiere, I have cs5.5. My question is: I have imported the .mov file and viewed it in the source window, it looks great, when I put that into the timeline, double click it into the program window, the entire image is zoomed in a little, cutting off parts of the edges and the top and bottom, I exported the file thinking it would revert back to the original, but it's still zoomed in. Is there settings that can match the source to the program? What am I doing? Thanks so much, Newbie

Well, the Source Monitor shows the file, in a player, from the HDD. The Program Monitor shows the Timeline, and the Clips on it, for editing. They are different.
Good luck,
Hunt

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).
01/19/201004:41:15
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.

In and out point feature not working

I am a teacher at a tech school and I teach Premiere Pro CS5.5 I teach my students how to use the in and out points in the source clip monitor and then to select the button to insert or overwrite that section to the time line. I also teach them how to use the in and out point in the timeline monitor and then to select the button to lift or extract that section from the time line. For some reason this works for most of the students, but not for all. I actually had it happen to my project during a demonstration. Sometimes the action that you wanted on the timeline will not happen. The playhead may slide over like it worked, but the clip is not there or the extraction never happened. I check all the other video tracks to try to see if it is on another track, but it is not. The fact that it works for some students and not others, makes me think that maybe it has to do with the type of video clip they are working with (similar to the mono/stereo/5.1 differences with audio clips). I have to be missing something. Help!

You didn't say Mac or Windows, but my experience on Mac is that some features of Pr 5.5.2 just stop working, and can only be brought back by an app relaunch, a reboot, or by trashing the preferences (Hold option down while launching from the Dock.).
But... some of what you describe could also be caused by not selecting the track selectors in the Timeline panel properly.

Can i edit a synched video from plural eyes in the source window first?

I synched my audio and video files in plural eyes which gave me a synched fill or sequence which is great, but I really want to edit it in the source window before putting it into the Program window. How can I edit it in the source window first?

You mean trim it? Like grabbing a certain section of the syned clip?
If so, bring it up on the source monitor, go to your in point and click "I" and then go to your out point and click "O". Then grab the preview image and drag it to your timeline. You can also press "," or "." to bring it down there.

I & O in and out point selection glitch...

Hi,
Having a bit of a nightmare with a weird little glitch that has only just started happening with Premiere CS6.
(I don't know if it's relevant, I've now got Pr CC - but still using CS6 on some client projects. And this has only started happening afer CC install)
Anyway... Every time I'm selecting an 'in / out' point in the source monitor - the grey slider bar underneath is cropping in on the source footage. To be clear, I'm talking about when you select the source monitor and press + or - to zoom in on just a part of your source footage and the grey bar reduces in size.
So, when I'm trying to grab bits of footage from a take, it keeps zooming in on that slider bar. It's driving me nuts as I have to keep zooming back out after every time I make a selection!
Incidently, it happens when I click on the in out selection buttons in the source monitor and not just when using the I & O shortcut keys.
Can anyone please tell me what is going on, as it's making my edit a nightmare!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Don,
6.0.5 is now available. 6.0.5 fixes this bug. Sorry for your troubles.
