Multiple Project Panels-why??

I'm on Mac. For some reason, Premiere has this habit of randomly duplicating the Project Panel/Palette. So when I have a project open, I can sometimes have 3 or 4 of the same Project panel open. Even on a brand new Project. Is this intentional? I usually just go and close all but one. Can't understand why this would be a feature.
Happy to be enlightened on this.

They're all 'Project: Job name'
It is weird.

Multiple Lines of Text For Each Clip in Project Panel

Premiere CC latest update. Mac Mavericks
I would like to disply multiple lines of text for each clip in the Project Panel.
I have a couple paragraphs in the Description box, and I would like to be able to read all the text in the Description box.
As it stands, it is very difficult to read more than one sentence in the Description box.
Is there any way that I can view all the text in the Description box?

Hi sats_sandy,
To keep some tags and remove unused tags in the schemaxml file the multiple line of text, you can use regular expression to remove the unwanted tags.
Here is a sample code snippet:
private static string RemoveSpecifyHtml(string ctx) {
   string[] holdTags = { "a", "img", "br", "strong", "b", "span" };//tags to be reserved
   // <(?!((/?\s?li)|(/?\s?ul)|(/?\s?a)|(/?\s?img)|(/?\s?br)|(/?\s?span)|(/?\s?b)))[^>]+>
   string regStr = string.Format(@"<(?!((/?\s?{0})))[^>]+>", string.Join(@")|(/?\s?", holdTags));
   Regex reg = new Regex(regStr, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
   return reg.Replace(ctx, "");

Why would a 21 minute video only show up as a partial clip in project panel and timeline?

When I import uncompressed AVI file (21 minutes long) into project panel, it shows up as 4 seconds and 18 frames in length. Clip shows the full 21 minutes long in bridge and windows media player. I have rebooted computer and checked for updates. Also shows up as a shorter clip in After Effects. Any ideas?

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

Where are my elements in Project panel ?

I'm working on a (first) project since a few weeks, and suddently discover that most of the elements (shots, audio, still pics, bins) that were captured or imported in the project panel are no longer there...
However, as long as I don't need them, everything that was brought to the timeline still appear correctly in the sequence (including trimmed shots from those disappeared in the project panel).
I have spent hours capturing from the tape (camera) and was expecting at the end to find a way to back up everything on (probably multiple) DVDs.
My question is twofold:
1) How come all these disappeared from the panel ? Is this ... "normal"?
2) While I can find those (well identified) elements somewhere in a folder on my PC (so if needed I can reimport...), what will be the best way to back-up the entire project and all its assets ?
Thanks,
Rob

no, it's not normal for your assets to disappear from project window. are you sure you are at root folder of your project? I believe there is a folder icon right below preview window in project window. click it to try to go up a level.

Topics in multiple projects in RoboHelp 8 are getting crossed over

I have multiple projects I imported/upgraded into RoboHelp 8. Initially when in each project, all topics are correct. But after importing second and subsequent projects, when I go back to the first project, it shows the topics from the last project?? What's going on? I've tried searching to see if this has happened to others, but do not see anything of the like... Any help would be appreciated...

Hi all
Perhaps it will help if we take a moment to understand a bit of the evolution of RoboHelp.
Pull your chairs a bit closer and I'll tell you a story. In earlier years RoboHelp projects were managed by the .MPJ file. Because the MPJ file kept track of all project aspects, it was possible to store as many different projects as you like in the same main folder. This was nice from the aspect of sharing content. You could set things up so that you had common topics and images across multiple projects. If any of them changed, you changed them in any project and they changed for ALL projects using them. Of course this meant you had to recompile or re-generate each project if they changed, but the change actually only occurred once.
Now along comes X5 with a new file structure. XML format. This meant some changes. Unfortunately some changes that effectively blew this manner of working totally out of the water. You may wonder why. Well, it's because while each project is mostly unique, some of the underlying files are rather generically named. For example, you have the ProjectName.XPJ, which is specific to each project, but that XPJ references generic files with APJ (Anaheim ProJect) file extensions. Files such as rhskins.apj, rjsnippet.apj and so on.
My guess as to what has happened here is that with only one instance of these files able to be in a single folder, whoever saved last wins.
What you have ahead of you is the following task.
You need to split the projects into separate folders so that each project is in its own folder.
THEN you upgrade each project.
You should probably begin by restoring from the backup you made prior to attempting the upgrade.
You, ummm, DID make one, didn't you?
Cheers all... Rick

Multiple Projects on Same Server

Today was the first time I ever published 2 separate projects
to the same server (thank goodness I used the DEV Server). They are
totally separate projects - nothing the same and did not use
anything from one project in the other. At the 4pm meeting to show
the new project we noticed glossary terms, TOC topics, and even
topic pages from my original project (2005) were showing up in this
new project (less than 10 topics)
My server guy does not know why or what happened. I have done
some research and cannot find the answer either (grange.org and
Adobe Knowledgebase). I remember hearing something about setting
"default" project.
Any ideas?
Cindi

Hi Cindi
Are you using RoboHelp Server and WebHelp or FlashHelp Pro
output? If so, I believe there is a setting you may be able to
change using the Configuration Manager that determines whether all
projects published to the RoboHelp Server are automatically merged
or not. It sounds as if you are wanting to publish multiple
projects to the RoboHelp Server, yet treat them as individual
projects without merging.
Cheers... Rick

Change the default arrangement of tabs in the Project Panel

With every new project, I'm having to manually re-arrange the tabs in the Project panel to suit my workflow. Specifically, I'd like to permanenly change the tab order so that the "Good" tab is listed first, followed by Video Duration..etc.
Can this be done ?

The Project Panel's Metadata Display dialog allows you to select which metadata properties are displayed as columns. You can save multiple Metadata Display profiles. Note, however, that these saved settings define only which columns are displayed.
The order of the columns is saved as part of the workspace. To save a custom workspace, set up all the panels, columns, etc. just the way you like, then go Window>Workspace>NewWorkspace.
With any workspace, if you change things around and want to get back to the saved settings, go Windows>Workspace>ResetCurrentWorkspace.
By the way, a minor point of terminology, in PPRO parlance "tab" usually refers to the top of the panel that you click to switch among panels in a frame. What you're asking about is columns. One reason that it's worth calling out this distinction is that workspaces save both the tab organization and the column organization.

Flash pro cs5.5 project panel librarypath different from fla librarypath

Hi,
I have a flash pro cs5.5 project which i can browse in the project panel. (Window -> Project to open panel)
I went to the settings dropdown in the panel -> project properties -> paths tab -> library tab
I added a path to a swc here.
However if i open the startup fla of the project
and go to File -> Actionscript settings -> library path
the previously added path is not there!
Why are these two paths different?
The startup fla needs to use some classes in the added swc.
I only added the swc to the library path from the project panel.
I was hoping the fla will compile and publish swf successfully!
This does not happen . So what good is this project panel -> library path settings for?
I need to use the project panel library path because i am opening this flash pro project in flash builder and any changes to build path done in flash builder only reflect in the library path in the project panel back in flash pro cs5.5
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Soham

the project panel is just a convenience panel for you to use to access your flash project's files without using a file browser. it has nothing to do with your publish settings.
if you don't see a great need to forego using your file browser, join the crowd. the project panel was an idea with no great benefit.
someone probably made a big to-do about it and got enough people to vote for the feature so adobe added the feature. and then found nobody cared so, it's not going to be in the next flash pro version.

Creating & Combining Multiple Projects Query

My IT team has asked me to determine whether I can create and
merge multiple projects to reduce likelihood of "issues" resulting
from use and loading of very large files. Currently, my project is
at 93 MB. I anticipate that it will roughly triple in size within
the next year to year and a half.
I've never had to do this before and I just need a bit of
reassurance that this can be done, easily, without creating a huge
strudel.
I can across two tech notes indicating different approaches
to this challenge: ID: rb_11942 and rb_1940 (
http://www.adobe.com/go/rb_1940).
There will undoubtedly be a large number of cross project
links and a substantial index (when all projects are combined).
I would appreciate any input you might have to offer before I
launch this effort.

Hmmm - how do I put this diplomatically? Let's try this -
would the IT guys accept your guidance on how to configure their
server farm? Nope. So why do they (off the diplomatic path for just
a wee bit) stick their noses into how you do your job? (ok, back
on).
I can only offer my experience here. I have a knowledge base
compiled in WebHelp, for which the project environment is almost a
GB. My compiled Help for our application is produced from an
environment that contains about 133MB.
Given that I have a fairly fiesty laptop, with 2GB RAM and
oodles of disk space, where both projects reside, I have few issues
with working in "large" projects. Both deliverables compile and /
or publish in about 5 minutes or less.
I guess my point is, if it ain't broke, don't make it more
difficult to work with just because an IT guy says so. Skip the
strudel.
(I love my IT guys, by the way - they don't mess around with
what I do, and listen patiently when I tell them what equipment
they should buy - LOL)

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Customizing the Project panel

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html

Honestly, you did not get my point.
What I am saying is, that the icon view has no rational order of files. Why is that?
At least there should be a way to figure out, even if it is not possble to alter the sort criteria, in which order the files are listed in icon view.
If I serach for a spezific file, sure I can use list mode, but what about "there were a couple of frames with that car, and it was shot after file X … a just let me fastly scrub trough the footage in that brandnew icon view … wait … where is … aehm .. ok, I scrub trough every file."
Do not get me wrong, I love the new icon view possibilities so much, that I want to actually use them.
Please just fix it Adobe, or tell me how to decrypt the sort mechanism.

Sequence In-Out Duration in the Project Panel?

Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, and wanting to view duration of in-out selections of multiple sequences in the Project panel before batch exporting via AME. The media duration display only shows full sequence length. Anybody have any ideas on how to view in-out duration in the project panel (I'm aware the duration shows up in the Program panel when a sequence is active).

searching for metadata fields, it seems to have no in/out duration. so might have to request for adobe to add it. Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
i did notice that if i load the sequence from the project bin into the source monitor, then change the in and out points to match the same as in the timeline, it will change the "video duration" metadata column to reflect the in/out duration. its also possible just to change the "video in point" and "video out point" metadata values in the project bin to get the matching video duration, bypassing the need to load the sequence into the source monitor. i also noticed when i export the sequence it will use the in/out on the timeline not the source monitor. this workaround adds extra steps, especially if changing the in/out points often.

Project Panel & XFL - Alternatives?

We're currently evalutating switching from FLA to XFL formats for our projects (source-control on individual librarie item.. yiesss)
But we find the CS5 project panels becomes near-unusable when using XFL.
The main reason is if you have a project with multiple source files in a directory you'll need 8 (EIGHT) rows per item, where it was a friendly 1 (one row for 1 FLA). Now I have for each source file: the XFL, the folder itself, 3 other folders, the DOM xml and two settings xml's. And this for every single soruce (multiply by 20 and weep).
So where i had a nice panel with near-instant access to the whole FLA source of a big project it's pretty much filled with stuff i'dont really want to click.
The project panel with the FLP's in CS3 was waaay better (nah, not THAT much betetr but at least it was nice as shotcuts/bulk-compile panel).
Did this XFL + Project Panel combo even get to real-world user testing? What do actual people use it for?
So question: are there good project-panel alternatives?
I know Gaia frameworks has it's own extension, but it's project-panel part is allready real-life-useless while using FLA, it won't even do XFL.

It's still there under Metadata Display...

Exporting multiple projects from FCP timeline hangs

When rendering multiple projects from Final Cut Pro's timeline through compressor, I get varied results. I am rendering 3 files - Apple Pro Res, MPEG-2 (VBR Highest quality for Blu-Ray), & 48khz AIFF audio file.
Typically we will set up 3 projects for one night to render overnight (30 minutes to 1 hour for each project). In the morning when we come in compressor will sometimes show up as 90 hours remaining, sometimes it will still be cranking out on the last project with 12 hours remaining. If we leave it going it will eventually finish. However when we shut everything down, reboot computer, start export from timeline and it completes the render in HALF the time compressor stated remaining before we closed it. Each project typically takes 6-8 hours to get all three files (pro res, MPEG-2, AIFF) we allow 18 hours for render.
Drive space should not be an issue. We have a 5 TB array (typically has 2 TB free for 4 projects), system drive has 350 GB free and the 4 projects rendered out will take up approximately 300 GB. The project reads, and writes to the array for everything.
Any help on trying to figure out why compressor slows down over time. Once restarting compressor goes as expected.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Don
All software is up to date latest versions of FCP and Compressor.

This is like an EDL...Edit Decision List. This basically is a metadata rich document that is used to transfer clip information between systems. You can export an XML from FCP 7 to FCP 6 so that you can open a sequence, or a project. Export an XML of the sequence and open that up in Excel to have clip name, reel and timecode information for tracking footage.
