Open file in source monitor via extension

I want to be able to list some files in an external window (could be browser or an application). The files are already imported in the project. When I click on a file, I want it to open in source monitor. Is this possible?

Hi Jostein, I'll contact you directly to discuss further.

  • Open video in Source monitor from extension / ExtendScript?

    Hi,
    I want to write a panel extension which browses a remote asset management system, downloads proxy videos, and shows them in the Source monitor; similar to the Media Browser panel.
    However, I can't find any way of getting a local file to open in the source monitor. The script functions I have tried either expect a Premiere project, or will open the file in QuickTime Player.
    Does this functionality exist in Premiere?

    Oops, yes, meant to post it in the SDK forum.

  • Poor performance playing .mts files in source monitor

    OK is Adobe really that far behind in writing up some code that can handle AVCHD .mts files? I transfer the .mts files from my camera to the hard drive, access them in PP via the media browser, import them to the project panel and when I try to play any of them back in the source monitor, playback is just plain shoddy, piss poor, horrible. I get some stutter (playback stops for a sec then resumes) but mostly what I notice is allot of noise in the video or pixelation, random blocks of pixels jump all over the video. Sorry I don't know how else to explain. I know that converting the .mts files to a lossless format first is the most common response but then where is the time saved with this whole format? Just curious if anyone has any input or maybe some hardware tweaks that might help.
    Hardware:
    AMD 6400+ dual core proc
    6MB RAM
    2 GT8800 512MB GPUs
    Vista 64bit loaded on 1GB 7200 rpm SATA II HD
    Scratch Discs are 4 SATA 80GB 7200rpm in RAID 0

    My two cents on all this. I've only been editing for 2 yrs so I'm no expert but my experience is this. High Def formats are resource intensive already, you start adding in transitions, motion graphics, color correction and render times can go off the charts. Most people I talk to or see in the forums are pretty much trying to do what they can on the cheap, myself included ( I would love 2 new maxed out Mac Pro 8 cores, BUT...).  My specs are below and with this setup I find that after all the software/firmware updates my system works fine, far from perfect but with a good workflow and some patience I can get most any job completed on time and on budget. I think Harm's post above with links to setting up your OS and optimizing your workstation is critical to success. It made a world of difference for my setup. The next thing I'm finding is the most important thing are your hard drives, you need em fast and plentiful. Ever since I went to one drive for OS/APPS, one for content and a RAID 0 for the scratch disk. My render times and app hang ups/crashes decreased substantially. What I am now finding with my set up is as my external content hard drive fills up, the slower it gets (basic HD logic). Which causes my projects/source monitor playbacks to hang and sometimes crash. So my next step is to set up another internal RAID 0 scratch disk for temp content storage ( I believe the less Adobe has to read/write from the same hard drives the better ). I will load what I need on it for the project then wipe it clean when finished. I am amazed at how quickly you can fill up a 1TB hard drive with HD footage, pics, project folders etc. So my feeling is you can be very productive with a decent workstation, correct hardware setup and lots of big, fast hard drives. On a side note, I can also tell you to delete any resource in your project window that you are not using in your timeline prior to rendering as the media encoder loads EVERYTHING that is in your project window before encoding and that can take up some valuable time.

  • Opening files in 2 monitor setup- CS4

    I have searched the discussion db and cannot find an answer. If this has already been answered, please accept my apologies and direct me to the solution.
    I am using a 2 monitor set-up, 1) main monitor or startup - menu bar, folders and tools for open applications. 2) calibrated for working on files, nice, clean, no clutter. The problem is that when I open a file in CS4 11.0.2 the file opens on the "main" monitor and I have to drag it over to my work monitor. Not a deal breaker but a constant nuisance. I won't even get into the Color issues which have been discussed here with seemingly no solution. The kicker is that Bridge opens in the work monitor. So, I select a raw file to open, Bridge opens on my work monitor, I make adjustments and select open, the image(s) now open on the main monitor and I have to fish it out and drag it over to the work space. Any thoughts/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Note: this did not occur in CS3 only when I upgraded to CS4.
    Thanks
    David

    It was a big annoyance to me too.  I never sorted the problem out, and was surprised when it showed up fixed again in CS5.  Unfortunately, I think you are out of luck with CS4.

  • Why do CS4 always open files on main monitor ???

    in the older versions, photoshop opens all the files on the monitor on which the last time pictures were closed. in cs4 this does not work, alwasy opens the pics on the main monitor. so i have to drag every picture from the main to my "picture calibrated" second monitor.
    can i fix this problem anyhow???

    Sack:
    If you typed in standard English (" I didn't want to know ), it might be easier to understand you.
    I made a suggestion which might work to solve your problem with your monitors but if you are to idle to even try it, you will have to solve this for yourself.
    Or you could telephone Adobe Tech. Support.

  • Can I open a second Source Monitor for the audio track of a video?

    I really dislike having to switch to the audio waveform in the Source Monitor pane when I want to tinker with a clip's audio track. I usually try to stay away from needing to use a panes drop down menu as much as possible. Is there a way to get this in a different window?
    Using CS6

    You cant tinker with the audio track in the Source Monitor. Apart from IN and Out Point setting.
    Normally one would expand the audio track in the time line...zoom in/out to suit and maybe use the tilde shortcut  key to view it all full screen.

  • Dual Monitor issue - Open file to 2nd monitor?

    I have a dual monitor setup in Windows 7 and like to work with all the tool panels and PS main window on the left monitor and the photo open full screen on the right. I have tried saving the workspace with the image open full screen on the right monitor, but no matter what I try, everytime I open/re-open a file, it loads on the left monitor behind the tool panels. I then have to press F5 to mnimize some tool panels, then grab and drag the image window to the right screen. Then I have to press the F key to maximize the image window and F5 to restore the tool panels. This is my routine everytime I open a file. There has to be a better way! I have tried things like reseting to the default workspace, moving the PS window and tool panels to the right screen, but it seems the placement of a newly opened document must be hard-coded to open in the main PS window, no matter what the user has setup. 

    Yeah, this is annoying as hell.
    In CS3, if you dragged an image to your second monitor all subsequent images would open up there. I'll leave my snarky, sarcastic comments about the wisdom of this new "feature" for another time. What might end up working you is putting the image on your monitor of choice (along with the app frame and the menu bar) and dragging the tool palettes to the other monitor. That's what I'm doing now and it's taking some getting used to but fortunately, once you drag over the tool box and the layer stack, everything else tool-related seems to open up there OK. The images stay on the other screen (for the most part).
    All things considered, it still sucks... but when you only have one choice, the decision is easy to make.

  • Can't play music files in Source monitor (CS6)

    I've just encountered a very strange problem today that that I can't seem to fix.
    If I click on an MP3 or WMA file in the project window it won't play in the source window. It also crashes all the other windows and I have to restart premiere.
    Sometimes it will play in the windows, but then there is no sound even though the audio meters are moving.
    I can however play the music files in the Source window if I double click it in the main timeline. everything is normal doing it that way.
    I don't have any problems with MXF files playing in the Source window.
    So at the moment, I can't review any music file in the source window.
    Anyone know what the problem could be?
    My PC spec is:
    i7 3930
    64GB ram
    4GB nvidia 680
    Creative SB X-Fi sound card
    C drive: SSD
    D drive: 300GB Raptor > Scratch Disk
    F drive: RAID 3 array > video footage
    Media cache is on D drive and "save media cache files next to originals when possible" option checked.
    Thanks

    Thanks. Just tried that and it didn't fix it.
    I can see the Audio Meter bars moving but can't hear any sound.
    Also can't hear any sound from the MXF files either. Will have to restart Premiere again to get it working.
    EDIT. Left it for a bit and the MXF files now play ok in the Souce window but music files still don't.

  • No audio in source monitor but it works on the time line

    Hi
    I just started to use a Canon XF300 and I have noticed that when I double click on a file and it opens in the source monitor the video plays but I get no audio. If I drop that same clip onto the time line I get video and audio.
    Is there a setting I am missing?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi
    Yes both Channel 1 and 2.
    Also I just came across another funny thing. After opening the first clip in the source monitor I can not open any other clips unless I open them from the time line. Double click a clip in the time line so it opens in the source monitor and then THE SOUND WORKS!  Weird.

  • No more exporting clips from Source Monitor in Premiere CS6?

    In Premiere CS4 I used to double click a clip on timeline (to open it in Source Monitor), and then immediately hit File>Export Media. It would then automatically selelct this specific clip for export without the need to set In and Out points. In Premiere CS6 it doesn't seem to work, meaning that if I want to export individual clips from timeline, I need to create In and Out points for each export , which is quite time consuming comparing to CS4, especially when working with many clips. I already found 2 useful features, that were just eliminated in Premiere CS6, and I don't understand why to destry something that works?!
    Or is there another way to do it?

    Jim Simon wrote:
    CS6 works just like CS4 did on this one.
    Not in my case (I'm on Mac, maybe in Windows it's different?): in CS4 I double-click a clip in a timeline, it opens in the source monitor, and I click Export. I immediately get only this specific cut selected as a work area without any need to mark in/out, or to define work area. In CS6 just doesn't happen... Can you confirm that CS6 also does it and can you tell me your configuration and version?

  • File data source not found with guest login???

    Hello everybody,
    i'm working with BIP 10.1.3.2.1 on Win2003/Tomcat.
    Everytime if i call a report with a file data source directly via url or in the gui via guest login i get the following error message: "File data source not found: <file data source name>".
    If i use a login in the gui which have the explizit permision to use this data source then there is no problem. Well at this point u might say then use this account, but - if i call a similar report with a database data source directly via url or guest login in the gui everything works fine. So, where is the point? Any ideas?
    Best regards
    Ralf Kanis

    Hi guys,
    I'm running into exactly the same issue. The problem seems to occur only when the report being accessed by guest is a file data source. The only other option I could think of is setting up SSO for BIP and the application issuing the URL to the report.
    Could'nt find anything else in the documentation or known issues list that might fix this without having to setup Single Sign On. Any further luck with your investigation? I'd appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks

  • How to open only one clip at a time in the source monitor?

    Ok the answer to this question may be simple.. hopefully...
    At the moment each time I open a clip in the source monitor it adds it to the dropdown list.
    Fine... but I am opening and closing hundreds of clips in a day and after a while I noticed it seemed to be slowing down the whole PPCS5.5 system.
    It appears that PP seems to be keeping each clip I open... active.
    Is there a way to allow only one clip to be open at a time in the source monitor... other than having to close them all first??? (would be ideal if there was some kind of shortcut like shift-doubleclick)

    SonyZ7's can record to compact flash cards as well as tape, so I generally log and transfer from the cards.
    So I guess I should do a bit more research on workflow's in Pr
    No probs, here's a bunch of MediaInfo...

  • MXF file plays with audio on Source Monitor but timeline imports only the video

    Hello,
    This started happening like a few hours ago. But it was working perfectly before! This is driving me insane!
    This is the situation (Premiere CC, updated to latest version):
    - I have a bunch of MXF files and if I play them on the Source Monitor, audio and video play perfectly.
    - The moment I drag the MXF file onto the timeline, only the video is imported, not the audio.
    - I tried to drag only the audio, using the different ways that Premiere provides but it won't come at all.
    I managed to import audio and video doing the following: close all sequences, and drag the MXF file in the timeline with no sequence opened thus it will create a sequence with the imported audio and video from the MXF file.
    BUT if I try to drop the SAME MXF file in this brand new sequence, only the video will come again.
    Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? And why it suddenly stopped working?
    Thank you!

  • Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

    Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
    Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
    Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

    Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
    I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
    Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
    And no I haven't contacted the producers.
