Moving files to icon at bottom of clip bin to avoid rendering files?

  I was talking to tech support about another issue. The tech guy showed me a cool feature new to cs5. You take hd clips or others in the clip bin and drag them to the page icon at bottom of clip bin (2nd from right of magnifying glass). The clip gets a yellow line on its top and is transformed to fit your timeline so you don't have to render the raw clips. My confusion is that I do this with the first clip and it goes to the time line. But when i do another clip, it erases the previous clip off the timeline and it alone is there. On the top of the timeline are folder tabs with the names of all the clips i have processe this way. If i click on the tabs, the clip appears on the timeline but i can only get one at a time to stay there.  I am new to cs5 and am trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.. thanks!

hi ann...
the new camera is just a basic little 350 buck sony that is palm size.. it
takes amazing quality video for such a small camera... it is perfect for my
skiing and river rafting trips (which is what my company does) because it is
very simple.. there is no disc drive to break... all the clips go to a flash
card... it is perfect for what i do...
the old footage is basic avi stuff shot with a helmet cam and sent to an
older sony camcorder which is dv tape device.  It is not hi def, but i
capture some truly great stuff with that camera. it is on my head and i ski
behind really good skiers, following them at @ 5 feet. it is a real wide
angle lense, so you have to be pretty close. But the images i have been able
to capture for my movies over the past 7 years are really awesome... the end
result is a ski movie about 40 minutes long with skiing , some comedy skits,
some river and biking trip footage, and visits to European and South
American destinations non-skiing.
If you would like to see what i have done in the past, please go to
www.morningstarskitours.com
which is the site of my business. on the home page, click on the VIDEOS
link... There are some really beautiful places to see there.  I think I
would point you to my two favorites:  Alsek River , Alaska video and my
Alaska Heli Skiing video.... They are about 3 minutes long each.. i think
they will give you an idea of what i do with my movies...
Cheers! Would love to hear your opinion on my movies.. always appreciate
input!

  • Match sequence settings to clip settings should avoid rendering, right?

    I drag my media to my timeline and that helpful pop-up stops and asks to match the sequence settings to the clip settings. I say yes, and because the two now match perfectly, this should eliminate the need to render --- right??
    I've tried to match the squence before dropping in my media, but can't seem to find the right settings myself.
    I can't waste time rendering. Please, any help on this is greatly appreciated!

    Update:
    I downloaded the Pavtube HD Video Converter App (it costs $35, but it seems worth it). It has a setting menu specefic to mediums; one for Finalcut Pro that includes an option for Apple ProRes. I used the ProRes HQ setting and left the size as original (remember I captured in 4:3). When I put into Finalcut, however, I get a message that says it is not optimized for Finalcut and, once again, I have a rendering issue. However, if I go back to Pavtube and export again, this time changing the ProRes options to resize at 1920x1080, I can import into Finalcut with no problem and no rendering. The catch is that in Finalcut, my video is now stretched to fit widescreen and unfortunately the 1920x1080 is the only size I've been able to export as and then import into FCP without any problems. This is resolved when I export using quicktime convesion and set the size back to 4:3 (shown in screen shot), but brings up another problem - squished text.
    Just now seeing other posts to my questions...I will try those suggestions. Thank you!

  • Help locating rendered files for relinking after a crash.

    I am working on an adobe premier pro project and my computer crashed yesterday. the project file no longer opens as it is asking where certain rendered files are located...  I do not know where premier is hiding them so when I hit skip or try to offline them the project tries to open and it freezes up. I was able to open an auto save file but now the project runs very very slowly... every click or action takes the computer about 2 minutes to respond and if I click while it is thinking... it crashes.

    Maybe a shot in the dark, but did you at anytime change your project scratch disk settings at any time. If not maybe have a look at the Default folder for scratch disk settings. Can't remember exactly where it is but it will be on your boot drive under user/ your name or failing that try relocating it by copying  the file asked for when PP loads and do a search on your entire machine. This may reveal something usefull like a location where stuff has been saved.
    Hope that helps.

  • PE12 - "Deleting Rendered Files" Confusion...

    Thanks in advance for any assistance from anybody!
    If i click on "Delete Rendered Files For All Projects"...does that delete rendered files even to the point of deleting my final video creations that i have "saved" or "saved as" in the program itself???
    In other words do i run the risk of losing the videos i've created in PE12 if i proceed with a "Delete Rendered Files For All Projects" command???
    Why are rendered files even kept and consume computer memory...i thought it was only a procedure to catch up with itself and make the video you are working on play more smoothly.
    Many thanks again...

    You are correct is saying that rendered files make the video play more smoothly.
    Rendered files are preview files, when you edit a portion of your timeline(like apply effect, transition, etc.) you will see a somewhat jerky and blurry playback, to have a look at how your final video will look and play you can render only a small portion by setting the workbar area over that area. It will obviously take less time than exporting the whole video every time you make an edit.

    i just moved my safari off the bottom line of icons on my mac. where do I find now, or how do i get it back?

    Simply go back into your applications folder and find the icon for Safari. Click and drag the icon back into the menu bar. You can choose where to place it by moving it to the perfered place in the menu bar and unclick to set.

  • Moving files in icon view.

    Is there any easier way to move files in icon view?
    For example, say I have icon view open in the Finder window. And I want to move a file from the bottom of the window—one out of maybe two hundred. Presently I am clicking and dragging it aaaallllll the way to the top of the window then dropping it into another folder in that same window.
    Is there a way to click on the file and then hit a key combination or something that will take me right to the top of the window and save a ton of time?

    I think what you are saying is that you have a folder with a lot of files in it, and some sub-folders as well, and what you want is to move some of the files into one of the sub-folders. The easiest way is to open the folder, drag the target sub-folder into the Sidebar, scroll down to the files you want to move and then drag them to the sub-folder in the Sidebar. When you are done adding things to the sub-folder just drag it out of the Sidebar.

  • Moving 20 or more Files in Icon Form to a New Folder

    Hey everyone, I've finally gotten around to hitting the forums to inquire about this.
    I like to organize many of my folder, file, and desktop files in Icon view and put them together according to their grouping. Once my desktop would get too cluttered I would go through and clean it up by placing it into sub-folders.
    This use to be dandy until the time of one of the OS upgrades, I think from Snow Leopard, but it could have been Leopard. Now, whenever I move 21 or more files into a new folder, the first 20 are fine, but everything after the 20th start to be placed into a grid type of mode. [The pictures below will kind of help demonstrate, I've talked to AppleCare where they repeated the conundrum, and suggested these forums]
    Anyways, is there some cap or limit I could change either via Terminal or something? Its really annoying having to move and make icons in 20 file increments, so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    First, I have a question: your profile says you're on Tiger (10.4.x), but you mention Leopard and Snow Leopard - what is the current OS version you are using?
    And, before I try to understand and help, I wonder why you appear to be using the desktop as your filing cabinet so to speak? Or do you file your folders elsewhere after the content has been organized? Having that many files on your desktop will slow down your startup - Finder has to open each and every one of those. I created a folder within the Documents folder which has thousands of files and many sub folders in it - it is not on the desktop though; I dragged its' alias to the dock for one click access.
    Now, to your issue - did you make sure that you have your view preferences set correctly for all the folders? Even if that is so, I can see that dragging 20 or more folders containing more than 30 GB all at once could result in some glitches. I never use icon view myself (preferring column view) because it would sometimes just not wind up in the order I wanted. So, unless someone can come up with a more definitive idea, I'd say you need to drag fewer folders or try list or column view to see if it works better.

  • After using Merge Clips in CS6, the resulting file now has two audio tracks

    Hey guys,
    I'm running into a weird problem after using the Merge Clips option. I have my video and audio selected, I've already moved the audio so they're both synced. It looks like this:
    Then I use Merge Clips and pull the new file into a new sequence which in turn looks like this:
    I checked the audio channels for both and apparently the merged file separated the left and right audio channels into two separate streams as opposed to using the single stream for both channels like the original.
    Anyway to prevent it from doing this?

    So according to Adobe's website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e582-73725e6a12e5a6165d0-7f ff.html
    At the very bottom they list limitations, one of which being "Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only."
    Which I was familiar with before posting this. It doesn't seem however that the two tracks are mono it looks like they are two separate stereo tracks. If I mute one I still get audio in both speakers even though I muted the "right" track.
    Here's what they look like in the audio mixer
    The original only has the left most track.
    I guess the only thing to do is just deal with it or render out each clip uncompressed to have that single audio channel.

  • Can't open INDD file from icon

    I have an installation of InDesign CS3 (upgraded from CS2) that won't let the user open a file from it's icon. You get the error message of "<filename> is not a valid win32 application"   The file will open if you open InDesign and use the file open menu.  The icon isn't the InDesign icon either-looks like a doc file icon without Word installed.  I've gone into File Types (from the Tools-Folder Options-File Type window) and tried to manually made the indd file open with CS3 but that still didn't work (oddly when I try to use the CS3 icon it too has a generic .exe icon).<br /><br />If I log in as myself (admin rights on the Windows XP) and once I did the above it worked for me.  I gave the user full rights and tried the above again but it didn't work-still wouldn't open by clicking on the icon-just keep getting that error message.  Any help would be great as I can't seem to come across anything googled that is helping.

    This is a follow-up.  My question has been answered in that  did get to open the file as follows:
    By trial and error (based on responses)  basically I was able to open the file as a copy from inside InDesign. There are three options in the lower left had corner of the window, I picked copy after trying the other two. Up until this time I could not find any idlk file.
    Once I opened the file I backed it up and made another copy that I opened.  I went back to the original file and tried to open it from finder. It would not open. Still no sign of the idlk file.  But when I went back to open the work copy it opened but now the idlk file popped up in the finder  and it continues to do so every time I open any file associated.    This idlk file comes up with an icon that says "Locked"
    My only question now: Is there a way to unlock this file from whatever it is linking to? Does it make any difference at this point?
    I have learned this is a temp file of sorts that prevents changes to the original file. I would like to unlock the file so that it not connected to anything.
    I have moved or deleted all files that it might be linking to.  I have shut down other computers and hard drives using the same network. The idlk file come up every time. It goes away when I close the file.  I have also deleted it while the file is open. I deleted all attempts at creating Book files. I'v been through preferences and checked Assignments. It seems like once you make a copy of a file, the original is always looking for the copy? Or the copy for the original?
    So I'm working and making separate files for each chapter so that I can set up a book and have back-up and maybe create a whole new Book file that isn't linked to anything else but maybe that's not necessary.
    I've been working with InDesign for a long time and never encountered this phenomenon before.
    Thanks again for your responses.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

  • Accessing File/Folder icons for current Look and Feel

    Hi,
    I'm looking to get the Icon for files and folders that the current UIManager uses for some work I'm doing. Please could you help.
    I'm getting strange results from the method I'm using, which is to create a temporary file and do: Icon i = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(tempFile);
    I don't like the idea of having to create a temporary file to do this - isn't there another way to do it? - for instance asking "get default file icon"/"get default folder icon".
    I could download a jpg image of the file/folder icons, but this is static - and I want my method to get the icons used for the current look and feel I'm using.
    There must be a simple way to do this right? I mean, java uses a method to get the icons for the current look and feel.. Oh.. Please help!
    - Edd.

    Try these:

  • "unable to open project file" (fce icon has transparent sheet behind it??)

    My most recent save of a project keeps coming up as "unable to open project file". I looked in the autosave and its not there either. The icon for this project has what looks to be a transparent sheet over it or behind it. There are stills in the project, not sure if that has anything to do with it. If anyone knows whats going on I would great greatly appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    C

    Thanks for your reply Kyriakos.
    Yep, I've tried the files in the AutoSave Vault and still Unable to Open Project File.
    Also tried deleting the FCE preference and cache file, fixing permissions and doing a save as instead of a straight save, as outlined in the article below:
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/good_apps_gonebad.html
    It only has worked on one project which is the only file that opens now.
    It's driving me nuts! I'm going to start doing some major jobs soon and can't have this happen. Maybe I'll try to reinstall FCE then if no luck it's time for a refund.
    Would upgrading from FCE 1 to HD have anything to do with it?
    Have you had any luck, Doug?
