Markers disappearing

Why are my markers on my timeline disappearing after I relink media in CS6. This is really frustrating.

Chapter Markers should be located at the BEGINNING of a chapter - not at the end. If you want the last chapter to have a specific "End Jump," set that for the Chapter Marker at the beginning of that chapter.

Multiclip markers disappear

The release notes for 5.0.3 mention a bug like this, but I am running 5.0.3 and the problem persists--
I've created a multiclip from 2 DV clips, then proceeded to make a series of markers in the multiclip. When I later open the multiclip in the viewer, the markers are visible both in the viewer and in the browser. When I do about anything with the multiclip in the viewer (namely select one of the 2 clips by clicking on its image in the viewer), all of the markers disappear both from the viewer and the browser. Anyone else experiencing this problem in 5.0.3?

Welcome to the forum kid!
Maybe a workaround would be to add the markers to the original clips THEN make the multiclip out of those markered clips?

5.0.4 -- Multiclip Markers Disappearing

Hello, just spent an hour placing markers in a multiclip and when I changed the camera angle they all disappeared.
I'm editing an HD feature and thought I'd try the multiclip thing with the 3 camera car mount scenes.
I read that this was supposedly fixed in 5.0.3, but it's back again??
What was the solution here? Trashing prefs and restarting didn't do it.
Thanks!

you need to make sure that the viewer window, the playhead sync menu is set to open.
doing this allows the timeline playhead, viewer playhead, and canvas playhead to be synced together as one. allowing you to switch from angle to angle making marks and making cuts in a multiclip.
also make sure that you are actually cutting, that will show the markers, switching wont.

Why are my markers disappearing?

Marking clips in Premiere. The clips aren't linked/nested/grouped etc. Just regular old clips in the timeline. I save and close the project. Upon reopening, the markers are gone. On *one* of the autosave files I can get the markers to appear for a moment upon loading the project, but they quickly disappear. Anyone experience anything like this?

Hi All.
Figured it out. Wanted to come back and post my solution b/c 1. No one does that. Ever. 2. It's a terrible feeling to Google your problem and come up with a half-dozen unanswered threads about missing markers or w/e it is you're troubleshooting.
I noticed on an autosave that upon opening the project the markers would appear *for a moment* and then disappear (presumably after linking to the source file). I knew they were there in the project before being linked. I have the source media on an external hard drive, so I unmounted the drive and opened the project with all media offline (to keep the project from linking the files and clearing my markers). Went to Premiere Pro > Preferences > Media and checked the box labeled "Write XMP ID to Files on Import". Relinking now - markers intact.

Markers disappearing on merged clips fix?

In Premiere Pro CC when I create markers on merged clips they disappear when I move to a new clip. Is this a bug that is going to be fixed in an upcoming update?
I began using Prelude to add markers and it's working very well. Once a marker is created in Prelude it appears in the merged clip. So far I've had great luck with it but it would be nice to have the option to do it right in Premiere.

It's a bug on Premiere Pro. In the meantime, we've figured out a pretty good workaround that allows you to retain all your markers and lets you work with the new file like a clip (and not a sequence).
Say you want to merge 1 video and several audio tracks from a recorder. Instead of making a merged clip, select your video clip and a RANDOM 2nd video clip (which we will be deleting). Right clip and select multi camera source sequence. Now right click on the newly made multiclip and select open in timeline. this allows you to edit our new multiclip. Go ahead and delete that 2nd random video clip. Next, drop in your audio tracks. Then, toggle on or off the audio channels you want. (maybe you want to mute your camera masters). Last, close up the multiclip sequence. You are now ready to mark away.
One last bonus; if you have sunk improperly, you can open the multi-clip back up and adjust the audio to fit.

Using Learn About FireFox and the 'Markers' disappeared never to return?

Downloaded and installed FF4 for Mac
Elected to ‘Learn about FireFox’, the browser complete with the Markers and dotted track/order to access line was displayed.
Hit the first Marker and the relevant info window displayed.
Hit the next Marker and then was distracted by another link and hit that.
Returning (back button probably) to the learning session found all the Markers had disappeared.
Tried various things to get the Markers to reappear but no luck so far.
I did not restart FF4 but surely this should not be necessary?
I will do this now but think this needs attention.
Cheers, NSN
EDIT: From the links obtained via a Google, I followed the most prominent to Mozilla.com and the info lead me to believe I was downloading FF4. I see this is not so!

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Newbie question: why did my markers disappear?

I just started using FCE (yesterday)! I used iMovie previously but was not happy with iMovie 08 and switched to FCE. I just spent some time adding markers to a clip, each with a chapter. But when I look at the clip in the browser the markers are not there. Do I have to do something special to save all of the markers? Did I inadvertently close the viewer window incorrectly. I added markers to another clip and they show up in the Browser window. I'm not sure what I did differently.

If you add markers to a clip that's in the timeline the markers will not be on the clip in the browser. The clip in the timeline is an affiliate copy of the master in the browser. If you apply the markers to the clip in the browser, they will not be on a clip that's already in the timeline. They will be on any subsequent copy of the clip you add to the timeline.
Chapter markers are not added to clips. Chapter markers must be attached to the timeline ruler for them to export with the sequence.

Placement "At Unnumbered Markers" disappeared

I wanted to make a slideshow to synchronize to the music. But I don't know whether my method is right or not.
I did that by inserting some unnumbered markers according to the beat of the music. Then imported some photo files and wanted to automate them to the unnumbered markers. But in the "placement" of the Automate to Sequence dialogue box, there was only the "Sequentially" option and no "At Unnumbered Markers" option for me to choose.
Am I missing something ? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
jusko

Jusko,
I agree, it is definitely a bug, I just hope to not stumble on revealing it again. Meanwhile, I got an email from tech support:
"I understand that the #at numbered markers# option is not available when using the #automate to sequence# feature.
I see that by creating a new user account, that you have resolved this
issue. That#s great news. Often times problems in software is the result
of corrupted permissions on a user account. I recommend that you
continue to work under the new account."
I like your idea better. I'd rather delete a file than create a new user ID every time I run into this problem. Meanwhile, I've copied my latest good config file so I can fall back on it after deleting the corrupted one.
As an aside, here's the path to the config file on my PC:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Sid\Desktop\Adobe CS3\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3".
Thanks again for all your help!

Cross reference markers are deleted for content in text insets

Cross reference markers are deleted for content text insets. I currently have a chapter that is built from several Import by Reference files. I added an introductory paragraph with cross reference links to heading 2 titles in these text insets. Everything works and saves normally, although the cross reference markers disappear from the chapter when files are checked out a few days later. An extra Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chapter composed of several text insets.
2. Create a list of cross references to headings in these text insets at the beginning of the chapter.
3. Check in/check out the files from a source control product.
What went wrong?:
The cross reference markers are gone, resulting in broken cross references. An empty Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document following the final text inset
What should have happened?:
The markers should remain and the heading 2 tag should not be applied to the document.
Product version:
Product: FrameMaker
Version: 7.2
Platform information:Windows XP
Hardware: Dell Latitude D620
OS Version: Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
RAM: 1GB

Thanks for the information, Van. We did try several techniques including adding the insertion point immediately after the text inset before the normal paragraph tag, but none seemed to consistently work. I will investigate this scenario futher, though, in light of your comments.
We have managed to determine a workaround for this issue by avoiding a string of text insets. For some reason, using multiple text insets without separating them with normal text causes most of the problems after we add the files to our source control system. The situaton is not ideal, but it does work for the time being anyway.

Multiclip editing not cutting, Markers dissappear when stop playing

Im doing a multiclip edit for the first time and im having issues!
I have the 3 angles i need set up and sync in a multiclip and can get it playing fine ie viewer has the 3 angles playing at once and select angle is showing in the canvas. I play the clip and begin to add cut points (by clicking on angle when i want to change to it) a marker appears in the timeline as it should but when i stop playing all the markers disappear and im back to square-one again!!!!
As far as i can tell the setting are correct, i have the viewer set to open and multiclip playback enabled and all looks great it just wont insert the cut points!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I'm no longer using 5.x, but I remember some odd bug with multiclips doing only a Switch to (instead of a Cut to) which results in the behavior you're mentioning: the markers disappearing as soon as you stop playback. I believe the issue was either related to being in a customized, but unsaved custom keyboard layout.
I guess what I'm saying is: does going to Tools > Keyboard Layout and selecting either layout (Default or Multiclip) affect the issue?

Keeping chapter markers after compressing

Why are my chapter markers disappearing after I compress a file. Example: start with a DV file with chapter makers created in FCP and the markers show up in the Quicktime player but when I compress them to H.264 with Compressor or any other type of program (included exporting them out of the Quicktime player) the markers are gone. I have seen many other H.264 movies on the web with the markers in them so I know that it can be done.

Thanks for the tip, and I got it to work but here are a couple of things to clairify for others. To extract the chapter(s) info out of the movie you go to Window:Show movie properties, enable the Text Track(not called chapter track) and select only that track to Extract. A new movie is created, that just looks like a white bar with the chapter names in them, select all and copy. Then go to your compressed movie and Edit:Add to Selection & Scale.
Now the movie will not look right, to fix this: go to Window:Show movie properties, uncheck the enable button on the text track, in the "other settings" for the text track make sure "Chapters" is selected to "Text track", now go to "Visual Settings" and change the scaled size to match the width of you movie and make the height 20 pixels (320 x 20 for me) and all is well. If I enable the text track the name of the chapter markers appear in a white box at the top of the screen.
It sounds complicated but once you do it once or twice it's easy to do. Now if anyone knows of a better way???????

Subclip Problem- only subclipping a portion of markers

I have run DV Start/Stop Detect on three captures. When highlighting the marked clips in the bin and Control-U' ing them, it only subclips 1,2, and 10-20 out of 40 or more clips. I have not had this happen in any other project- ever. Can anyone shed some light on this strange behavior? Thanks!

What happens if you drag the markers into a new bin? You might want to duplicate the clip before doing this, although I imagine you could just run DV start/stop detect again on the original clip if the markers disappear there.

Automate To Sequence - "Placement" box do not open "unnumbered markers" option

Hi all,
I tried to place photos in a Sequence automatically by pressing
the Automate To Sequence button .
I want to place the photos at the unnumbered sequence markers that I had already marked .
the problem is that the "Placement" box do not open this option.
It opens only the "Sequentially" option.
I have used this feature before in PPRO 2.0 and it was OK then.
Please help,
Miky

Here's a suggestion from a user named Jusko that worked for me:
Delete the pref file --- C:\Users\user id\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
then, the "At Unnumbered Markers" option will appear again.
On my PC the file path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Sid\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
Meanwhile, in case I run into this again, I've copied my latest good config file so I can fall back on it after deleting the corrupted one.
Something else that works is to log in as a different user. Either way, you will need to update your preferences (path to scratch files, etc.)
Here's a link to another discussion of the same problem:

Context-Sensitive Help Issues

I have problem where context-sensitive help markers disappear
from my .h files.
I started with a .h file from my old WebWorks project. After
a little reformatting, I was able to get the CSH Map IDs to load
and map properly to my RH topics (I had to do the mapping manually
even though the topic names were the same) . I was also able to add
several new Map IDs to facilitate help in the latest version of our
product. The final help was tested and worked properly.
Now that it's time to update the help for another new release
of our product, I am noticing that many, many of the Map IDs that
were in my project before have now disappeared. Anybody have any
idea what is happening here?
I'm sick of struggling to get RH to play nice with these .h
files. Manually remapping the Map IDs to the topics each time we
release a new project is terribly dull work and time consuming.
Is there any way to add the Map ID numbers to the CSH markers
in FM so that RH can automatically map the IDs to the topics? I
want to use the Map IDs we already have established with our
development team; I don't want RH's automapping which starts at one
and advances incrementally through all of your topics).

I think you dint check the option "Project Map File" from drop down list in the dialog box for editing Map ids. For this, in the main menu point to "Edit" tab, select "Map Id's". Edit Map Ids dialog box appears. Choose the option for Map File as "Project Map File" from the drop down list.

Marker Won't Display When Y Axis in Descending Order

I'm using an RTF to create charts. I'm using bi-publisher desktop version 11.1.1 and have Office 10 loaded.
If I add markerDisplayed="true" to my line chart, the markers display on the line and in the legend. But, when I add
<Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" />
the markers disappear from the lines but stay in the legend.
For instance, this works (displays markers on lines and legend):
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
Add the code to sort the Y axis in descending order and start at 1, not o, and the markers disappear from the lines but still show up in the legend:
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
I'm new to bi-pub so please excuse anything that might seem obviously right or wrong to you !
