Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

I have Win7 Pro X64 with Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out...
I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
I've cleaned the cache
What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
Thanks all for any help!

It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

How do I get the Project Window of iMovie '11 functioning properly?

The scrubber in the Project Window runs painfully slow. It has to think about literally every movement, but if I just hit Play it will run smoothly. The scrubber in the Event Window also works fine. I had thought it was because I didn't have enough space in the Startup Disk, but I've cleared it out and nothing's changed.

If you had iMovie 9 and upgraded to Mavericks, iMovie 9 should still be in your Applications folder in a folder called imovie 9.0.9. You can still use it and your Events and projects folders should still be present.

I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

I can't shorten my photo clips in the project window. Why not?

I have video clips and photos in the project window and at some point each photo doubled and when I just any form of "clip adjustment" for length it does not stick. I checked the fact that I wanted each photo to only last 4 s in the movie every one of them is a different time that I can't change.

Suddenly my project window has no scroll bars, and if I return to the project library, select my project and click edit, another project LIBRARY appears partially covering the project window. Help.

In the middle of making a movie, the scroll bars vanished in the project window and I could no longer navigate at all. If I went to the project library and selected the project, another image of the project library slid in and entered onto my screen. after repeated attempts to open the project in various ways, I have it now, but there are holes in the project window (blank background) and no scroll bars. It does not respond to anything.
can someone help?

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

IMovie showing one thing on the project window and different one in preview

I have create an iMovie project with iMovie 08. On the project window I could see my pictures as I have imported, in the perfect order and with the correct orientation. I just installed iLife09 and I opened the project on iMovie09. The project window shows pictures in a random order, the orientation of some pictures are wrong (upside down, portrait etc). But to my surprise if I play the video or move the mouse over the pictures it shows the correct picture on the preview window.
What's wrong ?

I'm having a similar problem. Any fixes?

Is there a recomended way to delete proxy and optimized clips once a project is completed and is ready for archive? also, can proxy and optimized clips be removed (to save space) once a project is ready for color correction and the original clips are used

No, they are NOT the same as proxy or optimized.
When you add a clip to your timeline and, say, apply an effect to it, or superimpose a title on the clip, FCP X has to make many calculations to determine what color each pixel of each frame should be. If a section of your timeline is not rendered, it has to do all these calculations every time you play those frames. A render file has the frames already "calculated", so it plays fast and smoothly.
For simple compositions and a fast computer, you may avoid rendering completely - and you may also choose to only render the portions where playback stutters.
Render files can be safely deleted. FCP X can recreate them if needed (either automatically if you have "background render" on, or on demand, when you select the "render" or "render all" commands).

How to understand the "New Item" icon at the bottom of the Project window

I'm trying to understand that small "New Item" box at the bottom of the project window better. I'm aware that when I bring video clips into my project, if I drag them to this box, PPCS5 will add them to the timeline. I partially understand the positive reasons for doing so, primarily that PPCS5 will correctly identify the type of video being brought into the project. I know that if I select all my clips and drag them to the new item box, that all my clips will be added to the timeline at the same time and all together on the timeline. There are many things I don't understand about it. If I add my clips one by one using the "New Item" icon, they will show up as separate sequences on the timeline. If you try to add another clip at a later time, can that clip not be added using the "New Item" box? One other question is what would be the advantage in putting clips on the timeline as separate sequences? And one further question is do you drag other items to this box besides video clips? Like music, and still images?

Dragging something to the New Item icon doesn't just add that something to a sequence. It actually creates the correct sequence for the something to be added to.
You do this once, when you need a new sequence. Anything else you want to add to that sequence you do by other means.

How to split a movie in the project window

I spent a lot of time dragging clips up into the project window, inserting lots of title frames, and editing clips. When exporting to iDVD discovered that the projet is 2x too big. How do I split the movie into two halves in the project window without having to re-do the whole project?

Exit your project so your are back at the Project Library List. You should see your project as a filmstrip in the list. Right-click or control click on your project name and select Duplicate. You will now have 2 copies of your project. Duplicate it again to be safe.
Then, delete the first half of one of the duplicates, and delete the second half of the other duplicate.

Splitting and renaming clips in FCE4

How can I split a clip up into smaller clips and rename then? Whenever I try to copy or duplicate them I get the same copy for all. I was trying to change the name as well and it seems I can't make them independent of each other. Does anyone know how to do this?

Read through pp. 68-69 of the manual (aka the help file) "Copying and deleting items in the Browser". And pp. 943-950, "Working with Master and Affiliate Clips."
You can cut up a single clip into as many parts as you want. You can do this in the Viewer by setting IN and OUT points or on the Timeline by using the Razor tool. To rename the subclips created this way you have to make each of them an Independent Clip. ( *Make Independent Clip* or *Modify > Make Sequence Clips Independent*.) But read up on it before you do this, as you may create even more headaches for yourself if you're not careful when you do this.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

scottypet
For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

Select a range from the Project window in iMovie 10.0.3

In iMovie 10.0.3, I can no longer select a range of frames from the Project window; when I left click, the whole clip highlights yellow. I can still shorten the clip from the ends, but not select any range within the clip. What gives? Thank you.

GOOD GRIEF! That did it, THANK YOU! I wonder why they added this 2 second delay in the current version... regardless, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I can't locate my Comp in the Project window

I was able to locate it by choosing an asset used in it and choosing from a pull down in the Project pane.
Is there a way like right clicking on a layer in the time line that gives you the possibility of revealing it in the project window
Thank you

While the comp is open, right click in a blank area of the comp preview area and choose "Reveal Comp In Project".

Items in the Project window have changed?

Hi,
I have been working for a few hours now.
In the Project window there has been an icon of my HDD called "Macbook" sitting at the top of the list. I've been placing folders and individual projects under this HDD. I'm guessing the HDD icon represents the top level.
I then placed all of my projects into folders. For some reason the HDD icon has disappeared and I can't get it back. The reason this is a problem is that I now can't place a new project at the top level (ie: under the HDD), I have to place it in one of the folders. I can't even grab a project that's in one of the folders and drag it out of that folder.
Anyone have any ideas?

I then placed all of my projects into folders
Did you do this within iMovie? The usual method is to choose File>New Folder from iMovie's menu. If you've created the folders outside of iMovie, that could be causing the problem.
Try deleting iMovie's preference file. Close iMovie first, then navigate to your user folder Library>Preferences and trash the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". When next opened, iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference (iMovie menu - iMovie>Preferences).
