Media Browser "processing" clips forever, keeps jumping up to top...

When I want to import clips via the media browser, I try to scroll down and while some clips have an image, most say "processing". And as I try to scroll further down, it is constantly jumping back up to the top. I thought I would leave it in peace for a while to "process", but when I returned to the computer, this was still happening, and even clips which had previously been displayed with an image had returned to being non-descript boxes with "processing" on them.
What is going on? Is it because there are too many clips in this folder?

welcome to the media browser hell that is Adobe Premiere. The good news is you are not alone and Adobe are aware of it. The bad news is they have been aware of the problem for a couple of years and have yet to roll out a fix.
Bug reports don't seem to have done the trick so am hoping that someone from adobe reads these forums and give us some much needed help.
one work around, although a pain in the a%$$ is to have the media browser set as list and have lightroom / bridge as the viewer of the clip thumbnails. a slow and clunky work around but kinda works.

  • When dragging in folder from media browser, some clips missing?

    I've noticed a strange problem where if I drag a folder with video clips in from the media browser, not all of the clips will make it into the project all of the time.
    Whereas if I open up that folder and select all the media files individually, they all make it into the project.
    There doesn't seem to be any consistency that I can see when I drag in a folder and not all the files therein make it into the project. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before? This must be a bug.
    Currently using Premiere Pro CC 2014 - 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

    Actually - technically all of these clips are in the project. See I have a lot of unlogged clips in my project. I'm having another editor log the clips on a different computer, then I'm bringing the logged clips back into the project, and then just double checking the file count of the original folder and the file count of the new folder to see that they match up.
    Does this shed any more light? The fact it's not consistent is what is weird. Is it possible maybe the clips that are already in a project and in a sequence somewhere don't get imported?
    Any thoughts on how I can make the process smoother given the work flow? Thanks.

  • CS5 Media browser - missing clips

    Hello all,
    Tried to use media browser to import clips and it will only see SOME of them.
    I transferred the entire AVCHD native root folder from each of my 3 cameras and placed them on my PC's media drive in folders labeled camera 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
    Camera 1 media browser will only see files 99-154
    Camera 2 it sees nothing
    Camera 3 it sees all of them
    This is when viewing as "AVCHD" in the media browser window. If I select "View as: File Directory" it sees every file in each of the cameras folders. If I navigate through the folder structure in Windows Explorer all the clips/files are present.
    My cameras had all been cleared of any other footage prior to the shoot, contained only footage was from the day of this particular shoot. Oh, and just to help with trouble shooting....FCP's log and transfer window sees everything just fine, so I am fairly certain that it is not file/folder corruption
    My own trouble shooting:
    Connecting camera 1 to the PC directly via USB and CS5 media browser when Viewing as: AVCHD, sees files 99-154
    Connected to the Mac, CS5 media browser when Viewing as: AVCHD sees files 99-154
    Connected to the SAME Mac opened FCP's Log and Transfer window and it sees everything. Files 1-154 with thumbnails.
    AM I MISSING SOMETHING?!?  Please help......thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

    Well I am just gonna keep posting my research on this matter here on this forum in hopes that SOMEBODY......ANYBODY....can help me to find out the reason for this issue.
    I filmed a wedding Saturday with 4 Panny HDC-HS700 AVCHD cams.  Shot b-roll all morning, shot the ceremony, then the reception.
    my camera 2 had 96 files on it.  all the files were short clips except for the ceremony which was about 27 min. long.  NONE of the files on this camera exceeded the 4gb file size limit of the camera's harddrive.  So there were no spanned files.
    PPRO would not see ANY of these clips in the media browser when in "View as: AVCHD" but would see all of them in "View as: file directory"
    Now for the fun part.
    I turned my camera on made 6 more short clips to put the total to 102 and then  recorded for an hour and ten mins. straight.  creating a spanned avchd file in with all the other 102 clips.
    Plugged the camera into the PC directly, and found that PPRO now sees clips 97-103 in "View as: AVCHD" in the media browser....but the first 96 are not there still?!?!?!?!?!?
    I have another instance where I filmed a pretty large job in Atlanta a few months back, so I pulled that footage in........it would again see all the files in "View as: file directory"  but this time in "View as: AVCHD" it would see files 1-20 then skip to files 121-259
    I will add again that Final Cut Pro 7's Log and Transfer window has seen ALL of the above mentioned clips spanned and unspanned without issue whatsoever.
    PLEASE HELP.....starting to lose my mind here.
    I HOPE that I am doing something wrong....so that the fix will be easy.

    Hi

    Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.

  • Effects/media browser panel on left keep popping back to default when i switch to other programs and then back to Premiere

    i wish the panel on the left can stay effectsControls and media browswer...
    it always revert back to default ... to audio mixers ... is there a way to fix this?

    Change your Workspace to Edit Workspace for example ( and save it as a Custom one)
    BTW - I have never seen Audio Mixer and Effects Controls in a Panel with Media Browser from any of the Default WorkSpaces.

  • My InDesign windows (UI) keeps jumping from the top to half way down on my second monitor

    It could be since I made the last OS X update – Yosemite 10.10.2
    My windows, as set up in my workspace, now jumps from the top of my monitor to about halfway down, rendering all the windows on the lower half off-screen and useless.
    I'm having to use a spattering of the most used windows, half way down to prevent them jumping.
    I have three monitors and it happens on both the second and third.
    I have a Wacom tablet, but have disconnected this and it doesn't seem to help.
    I have chucked the prefs but it makes no difference.

    (OS update) Thought as much.
    I reset to the default digital workspace then occasionally revert to my
    own. I get away with it for a while. I'm sure the problem will be addressed
    soon.
    The alternative is to make an alternative workspace that occupies on the
    bottom 2/3s of the screen. Not ideal but we make the best of a bad
    situation, don't we?
    I will report it to Apple too.

  • Finder keeps jumping/scrolling to top

    Has anyone else had the issue where Finder will jump to top of list or selected item while browsing files. It is extremely irritating and I've tried turning off various options like spring loading and hiding the size and date added column, but there is no change. It also doesn't matter how the files are sorted. I'm not certain, but it doesn't seem to happen in Icon view, only List view is confirmed issue. Anyone found a fix for this? It happens more often when browsing network volumes.

    I had the same issue since quite a while.
    In the meantime I updated to the brand new OSX 10.8.3 yesterday, which doesn't solve the problem.
    Finally I discovered, that the problem is user-depending and caused by a user specific preference setting!
    So, I could recover the faulty behaviour just by:
    - deleting the following file:
        $USER/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    - and re-launch Finder afterwards (or alternatively logout/login).
    Please note:
    In Finder, the $USER/Library directory is declared as hidden by default.
    To enable hidden files/folders in finder windows:
    Open a terminal window and type the following line in:
      defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    Once this is done, hold down the ‘alt’ key on the keyboard and right click on the Finder icon, then
    click on Relaunch.

  • Media Browser - Clips reload after scroll

    Hi and thanks for stopping by to offer some advice. I'm working with some Sony EX3 footage in premiere, viewing the clips in the media browser. When I load the folder and scroll through the clips they load, but then it seems to crash and reload from the beginning again. Any ideas what could be causing this?

  • PPro CS 6 Media browser returns to first clip

    When I select a clip in the media browser and import it to the source window, the media browser jumps back up to the first clip in the file list.  To explain further, let's say I have 200 clips in a folder and I want to look at clip 190 and 191.  If I import clip 190 to the source window, the media browser list and or thumbnail will jump back up to clip one in the folder requiring me to scroll all the way down the list back to clip 191.  This is very time consuming.
    Is there a way to make the media browser stay where it is in the folder and not return to clip one?

    Your method sounds correct.
    Let us know how your testing goes.

  • Can you see which timeline clips are being used in Media Browser?

    I'm a relatively new user and may not be familiar enough with cs5.5 but
    is there a way to see what clips are being used on the editing timeline in the media browser.
    I open premiere pro - Project is loaded. I edit the scene until it is finished.
    When I look over at the media browser, all my raw clips (some of which I'm
    using on the editing timeline) look the same - I can't tell which ones I using on the timeline.
    The reason I ask - when I fiinish editing a scene it would be nice to glance over at the
    media brower folder where my raw clips are located - easily see which ones I'm using because they
    are highlighted or checked and then delete the ones I no longer need.
    Is there a way to do this now?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I dont think so  but a better way is to look in the top of the Project Window and there is a drop down that will show you all the useage instances of the clip.  You can click on them to go to them in the timeline.

  • Clips out of order in CS5 Media Browser

    Could someone please explain to me why my clips in media browser are completely out of order from the way they were shot?  I transferred the files directly into a file on the computer then called up those files from the media browser.  They don't appear in chronilogical order.  Also when I try to pull up the files in Bridge, I don't get a clip thumbnail even though it is checked.  White squares appear with no image.

    In the top right of the media browser, there is a little icon called the flyout menu...  click it and choose 'Edit Columns'.
    Put a checkmark in the box called 'date Created'and then click ok
    Now, at the top of the media browser the columns 'Name', FilePath, 'DateCreated' should be listed.  You can sort your media by any of those columns by clicking on them.
    Not sure about bridge... maybe someone else can help you with that.

    Locate and move the com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovieApp.plist.lockfile files to the Desktop, launch iMovie and try again. If that corrects the problem you can delete them from the Desktop.
    They will be in your Home/User/Library/Preference folder.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
