Moving clip to current time indicator through keyboard command?

I have a clip in my timeline that I am trying to move to the current time indicator using a keyboard command. In after effects, I would just use the "[" button to do this. For some reason, in Adobe Premiere, this does not work. Does anybody know a fix for this?

You don't need to hover the mouse over, or click, the Step Forward / Step Back buttons. Just use the wheel anywhere within the red block in the following image. Note also that you can scrub through the timeline by click-dragging across the CTI box (yellow block), or click-dragging across the Shuttle (green block).
If you click within the Monitor image so that the handles display (see red blocks below) then you can use the wheel anywhere within the Monitor pane to move the CTI back and forth. Again no clicking necessary.
Cheers,

Paste Clips In Place From Current-Time Indicator?

Is there a way to paste clips in Premiere Pro CS5 at the current-time indicator / playhead without it jumping to the end of the clip?
CS3 worked that way by default. CS4 introduced jumping ahead to the end of a clip when pasted.

Thanks for your reply Bill.
It does paste at the CTI, but then the CTI moves to the end of the pasted clip automatically. I liked it in CS3 when the CTI stayed in place.
Mostly I use this for audio editing just to do quick fixes by dropping in silence over background noise in the video. So it was handy when the CTI stayed in place because I could play or scrub through the audio without moving the CTI back to the start of the pasted clip each time, then resize it accordingly.
It's not a huge problem, but since it's been part of my workflow for so long it's an awkward change.

Current Time Indicator Question

There is a grey area following behind the current time indicator everywhere it goes, and animation presets will move along, how do I change this problem

What is the problem? The grey area around the current-time indicator merely indicates the shutter angle and shutter phase of motion blur:

Current time indicator won't move to end of comp in After Effects CS6

The current time indicator won't move to end of comp in AE CS6. I setup a new comp at 10 seconds. When I drag the current time indicator OR hit the End key to bring the current time indicator to the end of the comp it stops at a value of 9:23. Is this a bug?

No, your frame rate is obviously 23.976, or it's most likely INcorrrectly 24.
The first frame of the comp is frame ZERO, as in 00:00. The last frame is 09:23. Which is what you set it to be.
00:00 - 09:23 is ten seconds. 00:00 - 10:00 is ten seconds and one frame. If the beginning frame was frame ONE, you'd be correct in your statement of woe. but the beginning frame is frame ZERO.

Start text layer (using Text Tool) from current time indicator - Adobe After Effects CC

This is something that would improve the speed of my workflow considerably. When I click inside a composition using the Text Tool, the text layer always positions itself at the beginning of the composition.
Is there any way to make the text layer start from the current time indicator so I don't continually have to scroll back to the start of the composition and drag the text layer forward to the desired position?
Many thanks.

There's a preference: Create Layers At Composition Start Time.

Close to the "current time indicator" there's a lighter gray section. What is it for?

Premiere elements 12 - cannot move assets past current time indicator ... why?

Cannot drag/move jpg (img 1232) past current time indicator (red) on any of the available tracks ... it does nothing ... I can only drag/move asset around before the current time indicator ... why
This would make my work useless !!! Please help!

Whatever you decide, please keep watch on how many days from date of purchase so that you do not lose any rights to 30 day money back from Adobe if you purchased from Adobe.
I had some thoughts for some areas to look into in your situation.
You have asked several time if you are using the correct project preset. I do not see that any one has responded to that question. I am assuming that your iPhone 5s is recording H.264.mov or.mp4 1920 x 1080 @ up to 30 progressive frames per second. The frame rate is probably up to 30, meaning variable frame rate. So, where is the 120 frames per second video coming from? I would manually set the project preset for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
Details for manually setting the project preset are in the How To section of
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
The use of video with variable frame rate has created all sorts of issues besides audio out of sync with Premiere Elements. It could be the iPhone 5S video that is creating the problems, but.... Have you taken the time to remove selectively and sequentially types of media from the tracks to determine if such removal would then allow you to place additional media from Project Assets to Timeline wherever you want?
If you implicate the iPhone 5S video in the issue, you could take it into a program such as HandBrake and change the file's variable to constant frame rate and export it from there as 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second H.264.mp4 file. Then try it in your project.
The party line is that you cannot change the project preset once it has been set for a project. We can go into that later. By the way, if you start a new project, is the problem of placing source media where you want in the Timeline still there?
We will be watching for further developments.

Premier 12, Titles & Text, Current Time indicator, Pan & zoom

I am using Premier 12 and am really enjoying the program, I had been using Premier 8 and I am getting much fewer project crashes, in fact almost none! Whomever worked on this program did a really good job. I am also finding it very user friendly and have been using both the "quick" and the "expert" portions of the program. That said I have three questions,
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
Also when I have added all of my clips onto the timeline and have my "curent time indicator" at the "end" it does not stop and "go back" to the beginning/home unless I manually hit the "home" on my keyboard. I want to make sure that when I go to burn that the movie will instantly go back to the beginning of the project.
Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
Thanks

Good to learn of your progress with Premiere Elements 12.
3. Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
The Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Horizontal and Vertical Pan & Zoom choices in Presets are available in version 12 under fx Effects/Presets/. As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 it is either pan OR zoom applied to each clip, not pan AND zoom.
As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 there is the Motion Panel expanded and its Toggle Animation for doing more advanced pan and zoom effects. Here look to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded for it Scale (for Zoom) and Position (Pan) properties.
The Pan and Zoom Tool is not found in version 8.0/8.0.1. It can be found in 12, Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom. The feature comes with its own workspace once you select the image and then the feature under Tools Menu. Note, when the panned and zoom image is returned to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Pan and Zoom workspace, the duration of the image is markedly increased. That is normal. Here is a sample of more information on the topic

I am not sure that you are dealing with leftover beyond the left gray tab of the Work Area Bar. So let us make sure.
After you have added all your clips to the Timeline, do the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span that Timeline content from what you see as the beginning and end of the whole content? When you hit the play button of the monitor, does the Timeline content playback from beginning and end of what you can see as the beginning and end or does the Timeline Indicator continue beyond the last item that you put on the Timeline? If the latter, then you are some fragments further to the right of the end that you can see. Typically the present (with Timeline content expanded max) as very thin vertical black lines which will need to be deleted. In these cases, use the End key stop position to search for the leftover(s).
Other Home and End key to navigate the whole Timeline content under the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar.
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
The basics of this feature should be the same as in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1. Menu name is different and Titler has a different look but principles are the same between 8.0/8.0.1 and 12. Are you talking about looping a text title? Sounds like that. If so we can talk about that in greater detail. Have you done in 8.0/8.0.1 what you want to go in 12 in this regard? Or is this a new effect that you want to achieve?
Please review. Keep up the great work.

Moving clips to Secondary time line

I've created a compound clip When I open it up my primary video is on the secondary story line. Primary audio and a wide shot is on the primary story line.
What' the easiest way to lift the Wide Shot to cover primary video as a relief shot.No longer than 5 seconds.I've been using cut a paste but the clip always slides into the primary story line and I move it above the secondary time line.Is there a shortcut?

Do you mean Secondary Storyline, or Connected Ciips? The simple act of creating a Compuond Clip only creates a Primary Storyline with Connected Cliips, unless you started with a Secondary Storyline.
Highlight a clip, or multiple clips at once, right-click, "Lift From Primary Storyline". They will become Connected Cips, and replace in the Storyline with Gap Clips.

Razor at current time indicator not working in cs4

Hi!
I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcut ctrl+K to work in Premiere CS4. Anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks!

Seems this is a good thing in CS4.
In CS3, you can split tracks that you didn't want split if you are not careful, so this seems like a very good new thing they added.

my workstation's clock is set correctly. it's set to "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes". I'm in the GMT timezone. the osb/wls stdout console window and logs all show the correct date and time.
if i run the "current-date()" and "current-time()" functions through XML Spy 2001's XPath engine, it outputs the correct date and time.
what gives? anybody know what's wrong?
i've come across a few other similar threads. i've found the MLR #16 patch referred to in some of those posts. but unless i'm mistaken, it looks like that particular patch is for OSB 10.1.x.x.x; and i'm using 11.1. so i would have thought that 11.1 would have that patch anyway. no?
i'm completely stumped!
thanks in advance for your time and help.

turns out that wrapping current-date in "fn:adjust-date-to-timezone()" is Zone related date time conversion problem with fn-bea:dateTime-to-string...
there's also an "adjust-time-to-timezone()" and an "adjust-dateTime-to-timezone()". who knew?
if anybody else has any other solutions, i'm all ears.

Keyboard shortcuts: current day and date, and current time?

I would like to know keyboard shortcuts for entering current day and date, and current time (separated entries) in Numbers. Something that Excel does easily. Thank you, Ian

Ian,
Numbers does not have predefined key command for Insert Date & Time as you can see from this screenshot:
All menus show the key commands on the very right (if there is a ke command). You can add you own, custom, key commands by opening system preferences and selecting the Keyboard panel, then the "Keyboard Shortcuts" segment:
Click the "+" then a modal dialog will appear. Select the application from the pop, then enter the exact name if the menu item, and, finally, your desired key combination:
You can do this for any application

Why is there no time indicator where my mouse hovers over the clip or even in the video pane when I play a clip?

I've used a few other video editors and all of them showed some sort of time indicator of where my mouse was when I hovered over the clip for precise editing and/or at least a time of where the video was in it's play time. Idk the exact terms for these indicators but I want to know why there's not one in iMovie and if there is, how to enable it.

You do get a display of the start time of each clip in iMovie 10 if you are not using a wrapped timeline but it is poor compared to previous versions and of course FCP.
Geoff.

Moving clips up/down video tracks.

Hello
In Vegas if I wanted to move a clip up or down X# of tracks, I could use the key-pad. #2 moves down and #8 moves it up.
Isn't there something like this in FCE? Using a keyboard command is much easier to keep the clip from inching sideways.
Thanks
Allen

David and Tom
Thanks. Tom, even if there's a clip say on the track above and I have my moving clip selected (option + select) wouldn't it go right through the clip on the track above to any empty track I wanted to put it on?
Reason is many times I'll have a clip on V1 I want to move to V3 and there's a clip on V2 already?

How to reclaim spare space back at the end of my clips on the time line

When I have edited stuff on the time line I find that through moving clips around that I have an empty space after my collection of clips that I have arranged. How do I reclaim that empty space back so that where my clips end so does the time line.
I have tried saving the project and reopening it but this does not seem to do anything as I still have the space left.
Any help would be gratefully received Thanx ahead of time.

Control click on the empty space and, on the drop down menu, click on Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then, delete the clip you just created.
If the empty space is at the end of your movie, you can do the same as above. But, if your playhead still continues moving past the end of the movie, then expand your time line as wide as possible and check down your time line for little bits of clips left over from editing, and delete those. Any audio that extends past your video clips at the end of the movie should be trimmed back as well, even if you have muted them.
