How to reveal from Project window where clip is used on timeline? CS4

I've inherited a huge project. One of my tasks is to go through replacing all the audio (done as .mp3) and replace with .wav versions. In the project window's bins I have the .mp3 version sitting next to the .wav version.
I'm sure I've seen a way that you can select a clip in the project window and get Premiere to show where on the timeline and in which sequence(s) this clip is used. I've searched the help and googled for the answer but can't find it! Have I been dreaming? Is there a way to show whereabouts in the project a clip is used? If there isn't, can anyone suggest a good workflow for me? I have about 150 .mp3s to replace with .wavs...
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
Great news! I thought that it had been added. I too inherited a major Project and could have used that 1000 times. Unfortunately, I am still on PrPro 2.0 (CS4 was not out then), so I had to do it pretty much manually. Fortunately, many of the Assets were in a semi-logical order, so it was not as tough as your case. Also, I was able to place the old edit into logical Sequences, so I was only working with 1 Timeline at a time, and not the original 8+ hour behemoth, that had been started. This limited my searches to maybe 100 Assets at a time.
Glad that you found it, and now I can look forward to using it, when I upgrade.

Buying AppleCare, at this point, would be a waste of money. You voided your warranty when you replaced your optical drive with a hard drive. Only RAM and hard drive bay customer alterations will not affect your warrany.
You could have, I suppose, kept the optical drive and if your computer ever needed Apple repair, have replaced the hard drive for the optical again before taking it in for service. A little bit underhanded, but some people have done it.
You're pretty much just out of luck now...
Sorry,

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

Premiere Pro CC crash when dragging media from project window

I have had so many problems with CC (2014) since the 8.1 update. The latest problem is interacting with media in the project window. In any version of PP (7, 8.0.1, 8.1), when I attempt to drag media from the project window to the timeline i get the "Premiere Pro CC has encountered a serious error..." crash. I am running a Macbook Pro i7, 16gb of ram, Nvidia GT 750m graphics card, on OSX Yosemite. I have tried clearing the media cache and clearing settings on startup with alt+shift. I have been using 8.0.1 because of previous problems with serious ui lag on 8.1. I have had more problems with PP in the last 3 months, than in the previous 7 years I've used it.

Hi Huzzahbeard,
Just out of curiosity. How is it that your software is hindered by a plugin in Chrome. I .... I have no words. This solved my problem and thats great except. Push Bullet is the issue! No, what is premiere even doing with my browser that push bullet would cause problems.
I looked at our bug database and there is no real "reason" listed as to why this particular issue occurs (and it does affect a couple of our other non-video applications—InDesign and Illustrator, as well).
A common troubleshooting step for when things go wrong with an application is to remove any recently installed applications or plug-ins. As I understand it, certain applications share resources which can affect each other. Since Chrome extensions are created using Javascript, I assume that is the area of conflict.
Thanks,
Kevin

Missing Audio waveforms from Project window

I'm hoping anyone can help me. I'm trying to customize volume within a range of a song. I've dragged the audio into my project timeline, however no matter what I try I cannot get the waveform to appear. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of including reverting layout of the project window.
I've worked with audio in projects before and feel I have a fair bit of experience with it but this one has really baffled me.
As you can see from the image attached, waveforms from other audio clips are showing up just fine but the song running along the bottom, no workie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A period only has a UNIX function if it is the FIRST character in the name! (hide file from Finder view), so that is not the issue here. ;-)
And Tom, why should the audio be AIFF?? I drag mp3/m4a files from iTunes ALL the time, without any issues - FCPX even has a native, build-in iTunes browser, so requiering AIFF seems strange, unless FCPX transcode it when it's dragged in!

Final Cut Pro X project timeline vanished from project window.

I'm using Final Cut Pro X on my Intel based iMac running Snow Leopard. I was trimming a video file in the project timeline when the timeline vanished. The project window is there but the timeline is gone in all projects. Any ideas?

Same thing just happened to me, I can preveiw the project still, and no it is not a matter of zooming out. There is no enter full screen option in snow leapord. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed ASAP!
The affected project is the music video, you can see that it is completely grey.
This is what it looks like when you open the project, no timeline. Just a grey area.

How can I copy and paste a clip already in my timeline

Here is my problem I am attempting to copy and paste a video clip from video 1 to video 2 and it will not let me do it. I am using several effects to create a moving face block and it calls for an exact copy of the section with faces to be blocked. I have been working for 2 hours trial and error and everytime I copy and paste in video 1 it moves the next clip or the entire timeline over and I cannot get it back to where it was without unsyncing my titles and music tracks. Thankfully it has the Udno feature but Is there any way I can copy and paste a clip in the beginning of my timeline without distorting the entire video by doing so?

Copy your clip, use the End key to go to the end of the timeline. Paste then drag to Video2. When it is over the original clip it will 'snap' into place for you.
Cheers,
Neale

HT1408 I have just purchased a mac book pro. I've linked this to my windows pc to transfer the data from my windows to my mac using the migration assistant. The serial code comes up on both computers but having commenced transfer it then stops! why?

I have tried to transfer data from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable. The function starts to download and then aftera while it stops unexpectedly and both computers say they are "trying to reconnect"> This transfer has failed on three attempts so far. What am I doing wrong? Help please. I am simlply tyring to transfer my itunes library and photos to the new Mac.

Forget Migration Assistant. Just copy the files you want to transfer to an External drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them over to the Mac. Does matter what the external drive format is as OS X can read from NTFS, Windows, formatted drives.

If I have my old hard drive from my windows laptop, can I use that as a partition?

i was wondering since i recently upgraded to a mac, if i could use my old hard drive from my windows laptop, with a usb connection, if i could use that as a windows partition for gaming and other things of that nature that are only support windows.

If you mean that you want to run Windows from a USB
drive, you can't. Windows itself can only boot from
internal drives. This is a limitation of Windows.

Lift and Extract from Project Window.

I'm exploring areas I've never used in PP CS3.
I understand how Lift and Extract are SUPPOSED to work.
What I am experiencing is that unless a clip is in a certain layer (that is highlighted), it doesn't lift or extract.
In this case it's layer 4.
Based on how I've read this function is supposed to work, I'd image it would extract from any clip under the lift/extract area.
However, unless the clip is in layer 4(in this project) it doest work. Move a clip to layer 4, it does.
Do I have some strange preference set?
The capture below shows the only layer that gets extracted. You can see the blue highlighted area in the pic below.
Only a clip that intersects with that layer will be lifted or extracted. Not the clip 2 layers below.

Solved.
Bizarre. All I had to do is select is select the layer on the left.
In my hundreds of hours in Premiere I have NEVER had the occasion OR need to select a layer...until now....and the lift/extract and even trim window are functions I've never used or missed.

In simple steps. How to go from project to DVD

Ok I have 4 books and live rural... and its all greek... Once I have the project done... how do I get it to DVD in the best quality with the built in systems.
Just the facts please and thanks

I don't know what Mac you have. But I assume you have a Superdrive to burn DVDs...
Then when the FCE HD project is completed:
- make sure you render all (opt-R) and mixdown the audio (opt-cmd-R)
- if you want to see chapters in the DVD: set markers in the timeline where you want chapters: open the dialog of each marker (m), write the chapter name and click on botton Add chapter marker.
- File/Export/QuickTime Movie: select Include: Audio and Video, Markers: Chapter Markers, deselect Make Movie Self-Contained (if selected it takes longer, it uses more disk space, but it makes the movie independent)
- use iDVD that comes with your Mac (if with Superdrive...) to make the DVD
- make sure the basic preferences are OK (PAL/NTSC, use Best Quality, etc.)
- select a Theme you like
- Import the movie exported from FCE
- now, it all depends on your willingness to personalize menus and the theme you selected: you can leave the standard menus or you can personalize them.
- when ready, burn the DVD directly, or better make a Disk Image first: you can check the results on your Mac before real burning (then you must use DiskUtility to burn the image).
These are the basic and minimal steps: they might seem many but in facts the longest time is the time iDVD takes to prepare the Image itself.
Obviously there are other options: using other DVD authoring programs, burning on external devices, if you don't have Superdrive, etc.
But these are the ... facts.

How to stop from asking about Missing Clips?

Whenever I start Premiere Elements 8, it asks me to locate some missing clips (I deleted them from my machine as I no longer need them).
If I choose "skip all", it proceeds into Premiere, but the next time I start up, it asks me again!
How do I stop Premiere from asking me about missing clips?

ATR,
You are 100% correct. From the OP, it was my understanding that these files were not going to be used in this Project. If they really are, then they need to be retrieved (from backup, hopefully), or by re-Capture, as they have been deleted from the HDD.
Your methods should help in the future, if such media files are really still required. Some do not understand that the Project file is NOT a repository for media - it is only an XML database of links and instructions. This ARTICLE goes into more details on that.
If I am incorrect on these deleted files still being required, I do hope that copies of them exist elsewhere, or that a recovery program, like Stellar-Phoenix, can be run, before the HDD space gets overwritten. I hope that I am correct.
Thanks for the warnings and for the instructions on how to handle things, in the event that the files ARE still needed in the Project.
In my exampe above, one can see the Video usage column. In the OP's case, these should be empty, i.e. no numbers present. If they have ANY numbers besides them, they should also appear as Off-Line, and then the OP needs to get those back and in a hurry.
Here's a look at that Video Usage Column:
Good luck to the OP and please let us know exactly what the state of these files is, regarding your Project.

How can I restore project window?

Hello;
I am using iMovie 10.0.4 and today I think I accidentally clicked "X" button on project frame of iMovie. Now the screen is split in two pieces (player above and project below) instead of three frames in the default layout. I clicked "Revert to Original Layout" in Window menu of iMovie but nothing happened. Moreover, I cannot click "Swap Project and Event" since it became passive after whatever I have done.
How can I revert the layout to default three-frame-view? Thank you in advance.

The lower pane shows the currently loaded event. To restore a project timeline click on the event containing the project (or "All projects") in the Libraries column and double-click the project.
Geoff.
