Hover Scrub on merged clips

Once I merge clips, I cannot hover scrub and any the poster frames I made previously are no longer there. Is there anyway to do this or am I SOL.

Thank You. I've decided on the work-around of setting a marker in the source monitor. It changes the Image in the bin to the in mark. I still cannot hoverscrub, but this will do for now.

  • Hover Scrub doesn't work in bin

    Hello,
    When I hover scrub over my dailies it works fine. However, once I've synced my dailies and sorted my new merged clips into scene bins, they will no longer hover scrub (in the new bins, the raw dailies still do.) Any idea why, and how I might get it to work.
    Barring that, how can I change my poster frame in the bin, right now i can't get them to do anything outside of the original raw dailies bin.

    I have the same experience, once you create a merged clip, hover scrub doesn't work.  Maybe a bug? Maybe a limitation of merged clips?  I've submitted a bug report..... maybe i'll submit a feature request as well.

  • Merge Clips

    Hi there,
    I'm working currently as a edit assistant.
    The director would like to have the synched clips merged and renamed, so that he can drag n drop it into a new
    timeline for a roughcut.
    With one clip that works perfectly fine. But when BCAM is included in the shot I can't merge them. When I nest it
    there is just one clip shown in the Source monitor...
    Any suggestion on this matter?
    Thanks very much.
    cheers

    Thanks for your answer.
    So:
    The director I'm currently working for wanted one sequence per scene. I have already done that and within that process I synched audio (mostly 4 tracks) with the footage.
    Furthermore insteady of just scrubbing through the timeline he wanted to have those synchronized and grouped takes in the project panel and renamed. So i thought the
    way to go is to merge clips and with that process i could rename the clips to extreme long shot, long shot, medium shot etc. so that the director has a great overview in
    the project panel and can dra n drop those merged clips in a new timeline.
    Though, some takes have a BCAM an as you stated, you cannot merge more than two clips. Do I have to nest it?
    I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but it seems to me to be the natural way...
    I hope it's clear now what I mean, if not, I'll try again..
    Thanks for the help.

  • Problem with Clip Usage and merged clips in CS6

    The 'Clip Usage' drop-down menus don't seem to work in Premiere CS6 for merged clips. The info bar at the top of the project window correctly lists the number of times the viedo and audio from the clip has been used, and the downward-pointing arrow appears, but when you click on it... nothing happens. Same's true of the 'Video Usage' column in the main body of the project window. Non-merged clips work just fine.
    Anyone know if this is just a problem with my project, or if it's a bug in Premiere? Had a lot of trouble with merged clips in CS5.5, and was hoping they'd be solved by CS6 - I've been using Creative Suite for a long time, and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
    Thanks!

    ...and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
    I guess they just have to weigh that up against the lack of support they got from Apple for FCP in its entirety.

  • How do I get my merged clips to reconnect with their audio?

    I am on FCP 7 syncing audio and video with ProRes 4444 @ 23.98. I am merging clips into bins labeled according to their scene. Pretty straight forward.
    We then decided to go to ProRes 422 proxy to edit on a smaller faster drive at a lower cost. I transcoded the footage to 422 proxy with MPEG Streamclip same frame rate, same dimensions 1920x1080.
    Next I go to relink the footage. Audio relinks and gives me this message: (Keep in mind these are copy and pasted files on the new hard drive).
    "Some attributes of one or more of the files you have chosen do not match the attributes of the original.... The attributes that differed are as follows:
    - Media start and end
    Would you like to try to reconnect them again?"
    Video relinks and gives me the same message, but adds "reel" as another attribute.
    I've seen these messages before and nothing has come of it so I didn't think anything of it at first. Checking all the individual audio and video clips. Everything is playing fine.
    THEN I go to play my merged clips... no audio!? Double click a merged clip in the browser, clip plays in the viewer but NO AUDIO. Right click on the merged clip file, select Item Properties and format. It is recognizing the correct audio clip that should be playing in the info there. I drag the clip into the timeline and I can see the shadow of the audio and video clip but when I let go in the timeline only the video appears.
    How can this be?? What am I missing??
    I would be so grateful for any ideas you might have!

    What happens if you control click on the audio clip in the timeline and choose "reveal in finder?"

  • Is there a way of getting Merged Clips into After Effects?

    Hi,
    When I import my premiere pro project into After effects (NOT VIA DYNAMIC LINK as we don't have prod. prem.) After Effects only sees the clips which aren't merged. Any fixes sensible work arounds for this, as currently I'm havbing to import the project ( a feature film...!) into Final Cut Pro then using Automatic Duck export out an AAF then using Automtaic Duck import that into After Effects.  I haven't thought about how to get it back into premiere yet...will probably finish it off in FCP.

    I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

  • Serious error using merged clips

    Premiere crashes when I try to use a merged clip. When I double click on the clip it loads into the preview panel, but when I perform any actions such as overwrite or insert or if I right-click on the clip I get this message: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down..."
    Here are the details:
    All the clips I am using in the project are merged clips.
    The video clips are AVCHD with reference audio, and the audio clips are .wav 48 MHz.
    Running a Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3 and the latest update of Premiere Pro CC 2014
    I have tried the following:
    turned off GPU accelerated preview in favour of software only
    deleted the merged clip and re-created it (in case it was somehow corrupt)
    opened the project with a different system user (to rule out user settings)
    started a project from scratch, merging the same clips and then performing similar tasks
    emptied the After Effects cache
    spent 90 minutes with tech support controlling my computer trying various things I'm not certain about
    Wasting too much time. Tempted to revert to FCP until this is resolved. Please help.

    I don't know about cc 2014, but in the past 5 months working in cc 7.2.1 & 7.2.2 I've found merged clips to be incredibly unstable/buggy. In one case a handful of merged clips were preventing me from importing sequences from other projects. I've run into issues where the match-frame function doesn't work with them, and worst of all every time I've used them they've significantly slowed down premiere (creating a very annoying lag between every interaction with the program).
    My workaround has been to avoid merged clips at all costs, and instead use single-angle multicams to group video & audio from different sources. It ain't ideal, but it's been a far more stable workflow.
    Don't know about the 2014 version - I'm afraid to give merged clips another serious try after all the headaches they've caused in the past. If anybody has seen improved stability with merged clips in the recent update I'd be very interested to hear.

  • How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?

    Hello,
    How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?
    I have tried several tutorials but these either:
    - show correction in premiere sequence (which is not practical; given the huge number of files we have)
    - or show the editing in audition of a sequence, not the clip.
    We have started merging audio and video (removing the original audio during merge) but some of the merged clips are out of sync, so we need to correct manually, BUT we want to correct the merged clip, which may or may not end up being used, so we do not want to take it to the sequence as all we are doing is prepare the synced files for editing.
    Any idea how I can correct the synchronisation in Audition?, when I right click on clip and select "Edit in Adobe Audition" I get a list of files but not a multitrack session where I can see my video and audio tracks.

    if premiere pro doesn't sync your footage properly, and you have a huge number of files, you may want to look at pluraleyes.  there is a demo, and if it works properly, it would save you time to have it done right the first time, instead of tracking down random merged clips with bad sync.
    premiere will either export a complete sequence or "edit clip in audition". the edit clip will create a copy of the original audio and open that in audition. there is no dynamic link, its just an audio file open in two programs at the same time.  since there is no dynamic link, its not possible to bring merged clips into audition.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Synchronizing audio and video with Merge Clips
    Once created, the merged clip cannot be re-synchronized, or adjusted. You must make a new merged clip.
    Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only.Final Cut Pro XML and AAF interchange formats are not supported.
    this doesn't give me much hope that audition or any other adobe program outside of premiere will help you fix the problem merged clips.

  • CS6.0.2 Merged clip bugs

    Having struggled with my typical editing style using dual sync sound i've been able to replicate a few bugs, by listing them here my hope is to get other editors using "merged clips" with dual sync sound can find a solution around them.  This has come up a few times in the forums but hasn't specifically addressed the bugs.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4503977
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4676617#4676617
    These bugs are with using Merged clips.
    1. using the match frame command from a clip in a sequence and then using a replace edit from source monitor on another clip, matches frame on video, but sync is off on the audio.  Using match frame on the newly replaced clip does reconnect to the correct timecode with the audio in sync, however the audio and video in and out points do not line up with the matched frame clip.  So you can't just use the overwrite edit with the matched framed merged clip.  Once you've matched frame with the incorrectly referenced audio, you can not use the replace edit command again, it gets grayed out.
    2. This same bug occurs when find an merged clip in the browser, creating in and out points and using the replace clip command from bin. The audio is out of sync and replace edit command becomes grayed out.
    3. Once the mismatch in the audio sync has occurred from the replace with match frame, the merged clip in the bin when loaded into the source monitor shows the inpoint and out point of the video, and a separate in and out point of the audio, which is not aligned properly like it was when it was originally created. Only when the in and out point of the audio and video are manually changed does the merged clip become a unified clip again. (one in and out point referencing both audio and video)
    if anyone else can replicate this bugs it would be appreciated.
    My clips have been manually synced in premiere, would be interested to see if pluraleyes' behavior is any different, but I don't have access to pluraleyes for Premiere if anyone can test.

    Unfortunately this is not a spanned clip problem with Adobe or Panasonic. This issue does come up from time to time.
    Be sure when you pull the card from your camcorder, you LOCK IT immediately. Then it becomes impossible to change anything on the card purposely or inadvertantly (and as you are aware, changing anything - structure, file names, ANYTHING - on the card will blow the whole operation, so locking it is perfect). Also, sometimes Mac users have problems when they fail to lock their cards, because Mac OS immediately starts writing files to the card if it's not locked.
    When you're using the Media Browser in PPro, be certain that you are viewing the clips in AVCHD mode (there's a dropdown option for this right there in the Media Browser). If you're importing individual clips from a single continuous recording, you're NOT in AVCHD mode, and this will always cause the problem you are describing.
    I don't mean to lay this out as "you're doing it wrong" but unfortunately this is all very well documented at this point, and whenever there is a problem with spanned clips, it is 100% of the time due to a user that renamed something, moved files, or otherwise didn't follow the complete rules of AVCHD management. I don't normally use a term like 100% (tend to prefer 99.9%) but I say 100% because it is absolute in this case.

  • Merged Clips Appear Off Line Yet Are Successfully Linked In CS 5.5

    Hi there. I just migrated a feature documentary from an edit suite in a local production company to my home. We're using Adobe Production Premium CS 5.5, I tried to migrate the project using the Project Manager function of premiere. But no matter what combination of options I tried it failed everytime. Huge pain!
    Anyway, the whole thing is nearly up and running again - but there is a problem with some of the merged clips. We were shooting on DSLRs, with a Zoom H4N dual audio system. Dual Eyes was then used to synch the clips. Which were then merged with the relevant video files in the various relevant bins.
    Here lies the problem, obviously I had to go and relink all the media files. Grand job. Thought I was all done but then I noticed, that when I was linking "merged clips" they weren't coming up properly in the sequences. Like, they were there in the bins. They would appear if double clicked in the source monitor. You could even do an old "in and out" and drag your selection into the sequence, and all the extra Dual Eyes audio synchs would be there and ready for use. But, the ones that were already in the time line were not picking up anything, they were just off line.
    I find this stuff hard to explain so attached is a screen grab and some explanation below.
    A - Shows the panels with the media successfully linked.
    B - Shows it double clicked and opened in the source monitor.
    C - Shows where it should be in the time line. But its not linking.

    Just tried moving the source files and relinking - no luck what so ever.
    Any other ideas?

  • Merge Clips is greyed out

    I shot video on Canon 5D, converted to ProRes and imported into FCP 7. Audio was recorded separately on a JVC GY-HM100U (lens shut, so no video footage just sound) and imported into FCP. I've marked in on video and audio clips to merge them, but the merge clips button is greyed out. The clips are in the browser window. I've tried dragging them into the timeline and merging them there. Merge Clips is still greyed out.
    Help please!
    Details: Audio- 48KHz, 16-bit
    Video- 44.1KHZ

  • Merged clips - are they all bugs or is there something wrong with my system?

    I have to use merged clips to sync video and audio because making every clip a sequence is too cumbersome and doesn't give me thumbnails to help choose my shots. Apparently, merged clips are very buggy. I can't use colored markers because they don't get saved on merged clips. I can't use match frame on merged clips because they don't find the correct frame. I can't set a poster frame on a merged clip except with the "in" marker. Are all those problems bugs, or is there something wrong with my specific system. I trashed preferences to fix another problem unrelated to merged clips, but that didn't solve any of the clip problems.

    I don't believe there's anything wrong with your system.

  • Can't open a project who has a merged clip in it

    I have 2 Macs using Premiere Pro CC, same version. On one of my 2 Mac, i can't open any project who has merged clips in it. It shows this error message. : "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with thi sequence type". It shows this even if there is no sequence in the project. It happens only if i have a merged clip. it could even be a merged audio clip. What can i do?

    Hello Spadrille,
    It sounds like your application is not activated. Try this: Open a new project in Premiere Pro. Choose Help > Decativate > Restart Premiere Pro. Then choose Help > Activate. See if that solves your problem.
    Thanks,

  • After using Merge Clips in CS6, the resulting file now has two audio tracks

    Hey guys,
    I'm running into a weird problem after using the Merge Clips option. I have my video and audio selected, I've already moved the audio so they're both synced. It looks like this:
    Then I use Merge Clips and pull the new file into a new sequence which in turn looks like this:
    I checked the audio channels for both and apparently the merged file separated the left and right audio channels into two separate streams as opposed to using the single stream for both channels like the original.
    Anyway to prevent it from doing this?

    So according to Adobe's website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e582-73725e6a12e5a6165d0-7f ff.html
    At the very bottom they list limitations, one of which being "Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only."
    Which I was familiar with before posting this. It doesn't seem however that the two tracks are mono it looks like they are two separate stereo tracks. If I mute one I still get audio in both speakers even though I muted the "right" track.
    Here's what they look like in the audio mixer
    The original only has the left most track.
    I guess the only thing to do is just deal with it or render out each clip uncompressed to have that single audio channel.

  • Moving project breaks merged clips...

    Hello,
    This is a complex and difficult problem to describe by writing, apologies if it's not clear. I've been working for several months on a large project that was shot double system: video imported as Pro Res (shot in HDV) and audio (recorded on DAT) that was transfered to aiff files. So I had 43 cassettes of video (with each shot automaticall being it's own clip - as it was HDV) and then 13 one hour aiff files of the DAT audio. In FCP I broke down each video clip and synced it with it's audio and created merged clips. I had trouble while creating the merged clips as detailed in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1818825&tstart=0). Originally the merged clips when opened has the audio and video totally out of sync and were useless, and when I went back and made the reel names match between the DAT aiff files and the video, then the re-merged the clips they were in sync. So everything has been okay since then.
    Now, after working for months on one computer, I moved the entire project to another computer. I copied all of the files from the old computer into the new computer so the files and everything are the same. But upon opening the project on the new computer everything is offline and I need to re-connect all of the media. However when I do reconnect it all, now all of my merged clips (there are atleast 2000 of them) are all out of sync again (of note, when I reconnect I always get the error message "reel names doesn't match" and I choose "continue" as when ever I choose "try again" it wont reconnect the media). Is there any other way around this issue other than having to go back and spend another 3 weeks laboriously manually changing the reel names of and re-re-mergeing each of the thousands of indivdual merged clips (in order to have them be useable, in-sync merged clips)? Even if I do this, I know that in a few weeks I will be bringing the project back to the orginal computer, and again everything will be off line and then I'll have to once again change reel names for each clip, and re-re-re-merged them to get it all working again. Does anyone have any ideas or insights into this issue? Has anyone else atleast had to deal with this issue? Thanks!

    It sounds like when you moved the material, you simply copied the folders instead of using Media Manager.
    Preventing your problems is why MM exists. While MM may have it's detractors (I've been one of them), it has been improved in the more current FCP versions.
    Read very carefully through the section in the Manual that covers it then use it to create a transportable copy of your project.
