Missing Timelines

Hi
I have been cracking along nicely in the last week learning the software adn producing some pleasing animations. However, today when opening the file, the timelines have vanished.
The file size is the same as yesterday and it requests fonts to be activated so I am guessing the information is still in there but I just can't access it.
I have tried to find a solution on various forums with my colleagues but to no avail.
As I say I am very new to After Effects so I am hoping this is operator error!

Thanks for replying. I spoke to Adobe support in the meantime and they told me the file was corrupt and pointed me towards an autosaved file.
Thanks again.

  • Missing timeline/sequence

    Hi.  I have recently started using Premiere Pro CC after being a previous CS user.  After spending some time working on my first project in CC (and saving at regular intervals) I closed the project and went back into it the following day.  When I did so, the Timeline / Sequence window was completely empty so it appears that all my work has been lost.  I have seen at least one other person posting about a similar issue on here, but would welcome any ideas of how I might be able to get this back.  Perhaps I'm missing something as I haven't used Premier Pro for some time.  Is this a known issue?
    Many thanks,
    Phil

    I actually managed to solve the issue by going into the autosave folder and opening up one of the autosaved versions of the project!  Thanks for your reply though!

  • Missing Timeline Slider

    Ah, you mean in the OS System Preferences - not the FCPX General Prefs ... cool.

  • Missing timeline and canvas!

    While I was switching around to different window arrangements I also opened up another project because I was trying to figure out how to view the RGB controls for a video that I still haven't found. I closed the second project I opened and that took away my timeline and canvas! I still have my original project open and under the Window menu the Canvas, Tool Bench, and Timeline are grayed out! I've closed my project and reopened it yet they still don't come back. They do however appear in my other test project when I open that but as soon as I close it then they are gone!
    How do I get back all my stuff?

    Double click on the Sequence in the Browser window.

  • STRANGE: single clip missing in export! (but still in the timeline)

    Strangest thing: I exported a project... and a SINGLE clip is missing. BUT... the "key" over that clip shows up (over "black.") Hmmm... So I went back to the timeline... the clip is STILL THERE! So, I re-rendered, exported again... SAME THING. That one darned clip goes "black" w/ the key over it. Any suggestions?

    NOTE: Had no problem exporting this same project before.
    1.) even clip info = 720 x 480 / 29.97 fps (same as ALL clips throughout entire project)
    2.) Timeline info = 720 x 480 DV Anamorphic 29.97
    3.) Here's the clip in the timeline. (see image, it's the gentleman in the labcoat) Amazingly, in the export the "keys" appear over black. Just this ONE clip is missing--audio and video. No other clips are affected.
    4.) Finally, here is how I am exporting the project: (see image)

  • Missing media in finished DVD but not missing in Timeline

    Dear Gurus and others-who-know-far-more-than-I-do
    In my latest video, exported from PPro (CC 2014) via Media Encoder and Published with Encore CS6...my finished DVD has a number of red "Missing Media" spots, but going through the PPro timeline there does not appear to be ANY "Missing Media".  I've never had this problem before.  Any ideas, anyone?

  • Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline

    The 3D Scene Position line in the video animation timeline - missing in 2014.2.1 (CC 2014 up-to-date) ... I have tried all the posted work arounds; using 3D Meshes but the movement from center problem is still present... the answer provided in other posts about this being moved to the Scene group is entirely unhelpful. The 3D Camera post saying it was just renamed is not correct this does not rotate the object. What is the answer or the problem, is there a solution within Photoshop CC?

    I don't do 3D animations, but Seb Zaremba said it worked in the former Photoshop CC. You can have both version installed on your computer. Go to the Creative Cloud app and Apps>Filter & version>previous versions. There you will find the installer for CC (2013). Give it a try.

  • Video file saved as photoshop CC is missing links in layers panel & video cannot be found in the timeline

    I installed photoshop from the adobe online and all files have to be saved as "photoshop cc".  This new program does not give the option to save a file as photoshop cs6, etc.  I created an animation/video as a photoshop cc.  After a few days of returning to my saved file, some links are missing in the layers panel and the video/animation in the timeline cannot be found.  You would have to have downloaded the new photoshop from adobe online to know what I am talking about.  Can anyone help with this issue?

  • Missing something - smpte timeline

    hey, ladies, gents,
    i used to control-click on the arrange timeline in LP7 and get a drop down option
    to see smpte time, mins/sec instead of beats and bars.
    i can't seem to work it that way in L8.
    anyone know how to show time in the arrange timeline?
    what am i missing??

    the default is "Shift R"
    I found this in the manual on page 75
    You can also use the following key commands to switch the ruler display:
    Event Position and Length in SMPTE Units: Switches between the Bar and SMPTE ruler
    if one ruler is displayed, and switches the position of the Bar and SMPTE ruler if both
    are displayed.
    Secondary Ruler: Switches the display of the second ruler.

  • Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

    Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
    I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
    Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
    I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
    I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
    thanks

    In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

  • Motion Generator appears fine in timeline/canvas, corrupted on export (missing layers)?

    I have a custom Motion Generator with a lot of layers & editable text fields that acts as an overlay to my video, so it runs through the whole project, broken up into clips whenever the text needs to change.
    I recently finished my editing, scanned through the project in Final Cut (seeing no errors), and exported it. But when I look at the exported .mov, one of the generator clips didn't render properly. The text is there, but the background images aren't. This isn't even something I can toggle in my Generator, it just like... half-rendered.
    The clips on either side were fine, and again, this only appears in the exported .mov. Within Final Cut Pro X, there is no way to tell something is wrong.
    So I opened the project back up, found the generator clip in question, and tried disabling/reenabling it, then exporting just a tiny section to see if that fixed it. The test was rendered properly, so I went back and exported the entire project again.
    This time, the original error was fixed, but in another section of the project (minutes earlier, in a different compound clip), the generator failed to render properly. This time, only half of the images loaded (rather than none), and a piece of text was rendered twice (once properly, once smaller in the middle of the screen, over someone's face).
    And again... it still looks fine within FCPX itself.
    Has anyone else experienced missing layers on a custom Motion Generator on export only?

    Elated - I have found the problem and, more importantly, a solution.
    While converting the original footage to ProRes, Compressor complained about one of the segments (the JVC camera records in around 18 minute chunks) I was trying to import. Sure enough there were some visual glitches on playback but FCP never seemed to care, but Compressor refused to convert it to ProRes.
    Which got me thinking.... back to the timeline I went. Knowing which segment had caused Compressor problems, I isolated it, and cut out all footage with distortion on it. I had used b-roll footage to cover the glitches anyway, but this time I used the blade tool to remove the offending video on V1 even though it was being obscured by V2.
    As if by magic, and to my great relief, the footage rendered and as we speak DVD Studio Pro has just spat out my first burn of the DVD (mind you it did take close to 6 hours to encode the footage to MPEG2!)
    So there you go folks, corrupt video footage, even though it isn't playing was enough to halt my export and suck two days from my life. Lesson learned.

  • How do I add silence to the beginning of a track? Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing?

    Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing? How do I i do this in the current version of Garage band?

    what is the problem? Can't you drag the audio region to the right, or is the silence at the beginning of the track missing?
    You could mark the measures you want to export by the Cycle region. Then any beginning silence will be included.

  • Time markers missing from timeline

    Hi everyone!
    My timeline is displaying, but the time markers is missing (the header bar that shows the minutes and seconds).
    Any ideas on how to get them back?
    Micky

    Did you try changing, resetting the workspace? Make the timeline floating? Restarting Captivate, computer?
    If nothing helps, you'll have to let Captivate recreate the Preferences folder, but then you'll lose all customization

  • FCP WON4T OPEN THE TIMELINE. QT  PROBLEM , MISSING CODECS

    thx for the reply,
    i tried to downgrade QT version because of my MC soft that supports only 7.3. just got FCP 6 that, came with QT 7.5.5.
    i trashed many QT files, hoping to prevent any conflicts with 7.3 (like in the old days)
    now i can't even open a seq in FCP. project opens fine but with no timeline and only the viewer window.
    when i click on a seq i get this message. "can't find the codec. "you may use a compression mode without the good card" (i'm translating from french).
    any idea?
    that'll teach me to go back and forth bet avid and fcp. gotta pick one.
    thx again

    hi there and thx for the help.
    here's what a pop window said when i went to seg/settings "missing the 1:1 10 bit compressor", then the seq setting window appeared and i changed the codec to mpeg-4. the TL and canvas reappeared. i do have to render the video tracks.
    here's what the QT movie footage infos says: "uncompressed 10bit 4.2.2 integer (Big Endian) Timecode. in the timeline when i check the properties it doesn't say anything other than it's ntsc ccir 601 26,9 mo/s nothing next to compressor unlike other shots.
    thx a lot, at least i got my tl back.
    how should i set my seq settings when i have different sources so i don't have to render all the time?
    do i have to reinstall fcp6 to get these missing codec back or reinstall the os . can i just do an ARCHIVE AND INSTALL?
    thx
