Keyboard shortcuts keep disappearing/resetting in Premiere Pro CS6

I'll set my custom keyboard shortcuts and a few days later, they no longer work and when I go into the settings, I'll see that all the shortcuts have reset to default.   Not that I think it matters, but the ones I specifically customize are the Add Marker and Default Title back to the Num* and F9 keys. 
As of yet, I haven't noticed any common sequence of events that may lead to this.  When this happens, I make sure to exit and then reload Premiere immediately to make sure the settings stick, but the resetting of the shortcuts occurs anyway.   Not a major problem, but it gets annoying when you think you're laying down a couple hundred markers as you tap to the beat, only the realize that Num* isn't working anymore.  

Good question.  If/when it does it again, I'll check.  However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5.  That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout. 
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations.   About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky. 
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now.  Thanks

  • Audio disappearing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

    So this is a weird one, but since I'm new to Premiere Pro maybe it'll be an easy fix?
    I imported several clips in the same batch that were recorded on the same camera with the same settings (same hour, even). I mark a clip in and out and drag it into the sequence. I then go to do the same to another clip, but the audio on that clip has now disappeared. There isn't even a waveform. I tried to troubleshoot this by reimporting the clips and even making a new project. With the new project it fixed the problem for maybe a minute and then it started happening again.
    This is using software on a school computer so reinstalling, etc. is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

    No. You will not find any Master Track Keyframes. These will be on the Audio Track, and will be attached to the Track, regardless of what Clip you have there. Here is a look at Track Keyframes, not to be confused with Clip Keyframes from PrPro 2.0:

  • FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

    You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

    I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
    Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
    I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
    Curiouser and curiouser...

  • Trouble loading custom saved Premiere Pro CS6 keyboard shortcuts

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having trouble loading custom saved Premiere Pro CS6 keyboard shortcuts. I have a saved .kys set-up file but there is no load button visible in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. It took a while to make the shortcuts. Very frustrating. Any tips appreciated.
    Thanks,
    FB

    IIRC ..the "load" is done from a drop down menu giving you the choices of the Default Presets as well as your custom set.  NAmed as per  "whatever.kys"
    Did you create them in your current Premiere or are you importing them from elsewhere?

  • Flash: Keyboard Shortcuts Keep Disabling

    So I just got Adobe Flash Pro cs6 (64-bit) and one of the problems I've noticed when animating with the program is after a couple of minutes the keyboard shortcuts keep turning off when I'm drawing. I can turn them back on if I drag my animation tab out of full view and then place it back to full view but then after another couple of minutes, they disable again. This happens whether or not the animation is full view or dragged out, the keys keep turning off and I can't task to a new tool because of it.

    Good question.  If/when it does it again, I'll check.  However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5.  That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 button Save Project on keyboard?

    Hi,
    Is there a button on the keyboard (Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - Wireless Slim Line Keyboard) to save the project likes (CTRL+S) while you edit?
    Thanks Koos_w.

    Hi,
    To my knowledge, the editing keyboards don't add special hotkeys - rather, the normal keyboard shortcuts are simply printed ON the keys, and color-coded.
    So to answer the question, yes, there is a "Save Project" and it is CTRL+S, as you already know
    Thanks

  • Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

    Good day everyone,
    I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings.  Those work fine.  But trying to export to  H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash.  It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
    I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME.  They both crash at the same point. 
    I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such.  No luck.
    Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well.  Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram.  My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670.  Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
    Thanks

    I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
    My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro.  The system had previously been very stable.  At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions.  Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
    The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed.  Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution.  Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution. 
    The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan.  32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600.  CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking.  Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking.  1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

  • Program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC

    PC - Premiere Pro CC - AMD Fire Pro (13.101-130604a-158071E-ATI)
    I'm working on a project and the program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC while I am working on the timeline. I've got like 28 GB of memory alocated to the program and just updated the latest driver for my video card. No clue why this keeps happening, but the only way I can get around it is to restart. When I go to close down the program freezes and I have to shut it down in the system preferences.
    Under a crazy deadline if you can help? Thanks

    here's my story. I'm also having this problem with video appearing in the Program monitor. The only thing I did differently is that yesterday when I was editing, I pulled the Program monitor out of the main Premiere interface and dragged it over to my second desktop monitor. that worked just dandy.
    when I opened Premiere today, and opened an entierly different project, there was no video in the output window (and it was locked back into the main interface). I also can't select clips on the TL. The software locks up, and I have to restart.
    I am able to create a new project and render the countdown leader. I was also able to import the project that wasn't displaying correctly, and have it work just like normal. So I think I'm back in business for now.
    I'm deeply concerned though. I'm doing a webinar about Premiere very soon (with rehearsals tomorrow!). A failure like this looks bad for everybody. Also, I don't relish having to re-import all of my old projects in this way to get the basics working again. Any idea what went wrong? Right now I feel like I'd better never drag the program window to a second monitor to enjoy a larger program monitor while editing.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 keeps crashing when im editing or rendering a video

    When I am on Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 every 10-20 mins it crashes when im editing a video, it crashes more often when im rendering it (export media, ctrl+M). I dont mind when it crashes while im editing because i save the file regularly but when im rendering its a problem, it probably because the file is too big as i use dxtory to record skyrim but this is an expensive product so it should be able to render. I encode the file once ive chosen the format and stuff for the video and it says finish rendering in 50 mins or so and when it gets to like 4% rendering it says not responding. It then troubleshoots but then says 'close program'. this is very frustrating, please can someone help me.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when making edits

    I everyone. I migrated to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (I need to finish a couple of project before I can update the computer to CC and Mac OS 10.8.) and it's been crashing right from the begining. It's a random crash but my impression that it becomes more probable as the projects grow.
    It happens whenever I'm editing and I press the shortcut for "overwrite" or "insert". (It also happens when I press the icon or move the clip to the timeline)
    The screen message I get is this one:
    The log message that I get afterwards goes as follows:
    On previous days, I've been able to keep working just by deleting the Media database preview files from Premiere but it's not working anymore.
    I'm working with XMF files shot with a Canon C300 synced using premiere to sound files (.wav). It only happens when I try to edit but it doesn't matter if I try to edit sound, sound and image or just image.
    What it doesn't make sense is that it says something about "dynamic lynk" and, as far as I know, I'm not using dynamic link at all.
    Thanks in advance for your time and wisdom

    Now, a few updates after a very long night (just in case it might  help somebody)
    Up until last night, I was saving my Premiere Projects in a Dropbox Folder inside my computer. It was a quick safe way of having a backup copy. Well, it seems that the crash is somehow related. Don't ask me why but once I moved the project file to a regular hard drive (actually a RAID0 where I keep my heavier files) the crashes have stopped.
    This morning I went back to the dropbox idea with a new project and -Voilá!- after three hours of work, it crashed again. I moved the file to the RAID disk and no more crashes. My guess is that it is somehow related to the auto-save files that premiere keeps saving. Once it reaches a certain amount (around 20 in my experience) dropbox and Premiere start to do something weird and they crash the software... (It might be related to the software dropbox uses to keep your folders updated and keep backup versions of everything)
    I'll run a few tests next week trying to keep the Auto-save files out of dropbox and just the regular files there to see what happens.
    Best regards

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - (ver.7) CC upgrade protocol auto update?

    Just revamped one of my stations with a new GPU and SSD.  I also purchased an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro.  Loggin in to my usual subscription I realized that Premiere Pro CS6 is no longer available and ver.7 is now ''CC.''  This is great and the revamped machine is working wonderfully.  I couldn't be happier.  My wife will mainly use this machine to edit some hobby stuff.
    However, the point for this thread is that my main workstation in the den still has CS6 and I did not receive an e-mail to update it or ''upgrade'' (however it's to be called) to the new CC.  So am I to log in to the new CC interface login and download everything again on my main system and delete the old CS6 install?
    Thanks a bunch!

    CVid, you are both right and wrong.
    CC actually is a very worthwhile upgrade from CS6 (or it will be when it's finished).  Here is my top list of time-saving new features (and there are many more):
    - NEW:  Automatically Sync separate audio and video clips based on their audio waveforms.  AWESOME! (but doesn't work, yet).
    - NEW:  Merge Clips right from the project panel, including auto sync on audio.  WAY COOL!  (audio sync doesn't work, yet).
    - NEW:  Subclips can be created with "soft" handles you can adjust later (works great!  Except Subclips cannot be created from a Merged Clip)
    - NEW:  Use the scroll wheel—or better, yet, the keyboard—to quickly resize all video (CTRL+/-) and Audio (ALT+/-) tracks on the timeline. (LOVE IT!)
    - NEW:  Both "Clip Gain" and "Clip Volume" now have keyboard shortcuts (not sure why they didn't before.  Small, but important time saver for me!)
    - CHANGED:  "Solo" button replaces "Toggle Track Output" on the timeline.  (but to truly isolate a clip takes 2 ALT CLICKS and 1 MORE CLICK!)
    - IMPROVED:  Link Media dialogs.  Very cool!  (haven't tried it, yet.  Wouldn't surprise me if it crashed Premiere)
    - BUG:  One-take Multi-Cam Editing.  Make your first pass count, cause there's no second chances in the Multi-Cam editor.
    - BUG:  Selecting more than 3 clips on the timeline will crash Priemiere.  See video:  http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
    And these are just the few features / bugs that I've encountered in the first week!
    You are correct, though.  You now RENT the software from Adobe.  No purchases.  But, this doesn't bother me, much.  I've been renting CS6 for over a year, now.  MrDigitalBoy, since you have a subscription, you should see BOTH CS6 and CC products in your Creative Cloud updater.
    And, I would definitely agree with [r]Evolution, DO NOT INSTALL CC, yet.  It is not even CLOSE to being ready for prime time.  It has cost several editors on these forums, myself included, days of wasted time and lost income grappling with this broken software.  I believe it will be great!  I'm looking forward to it.  But wait 'til the first product updates, at least.  And then procede with caution.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Project frame won't retain its layout or location between opening and closing?

    I filed this as a bug, but perhaps I'm thinking through this wrong and would like to seek help.
    I'm finding that the Project frame in Premiere Pro CS6 does not retain its layout between opening and closings.
    Here's what I do:
    1) Open a project.
    2) Create several bins and populate them with media. Expand the contents of a bin by clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder.
    3) Undock the Project frame only.
    4) Close the Project frame with Command-W
    5) Use ****-1 to reopen the Project frame.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5. The result is that the Project frame does not remember which bin was open. Furstratingly, it also does not retain which bins were expanded or collapsed.
    And worst of all, it will also open in random areas of the screen. (The expected result is that it would reopen in the same spot of the desktop where you last closed it, no?)
    I'm a big organizer -- tons of footage across many different bins. I open bins, close them, keep some open, close others... easily dozens or hundreds of times during an edit session. I'm beginnging to feel like I'm swatting flies or playing whack-a-mole just to get my bin views correct!
    Or mm I approaching this wrong?

    But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
    Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)
