Pause when clicking space between clips?

Timeline. I've just done an action, like shorten a clip, or move a clip. Then I click the space between two clips ... with the idea of deleting the space and joining the clips. But there is a pause of a few seconds before the click will actually highlight the space. I click, nothing happens, click again, nothing happens, maybe the third or fouth click it takes, then I can delete the space.
I've noticed this on two separate edit suites loaded with FCP 7. I don't remember this ever being the case before in FCP. Actually, I've been putting up with it for the last six months or so.
I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience? And if there is a logical explanation?

Looking at your response, I see several items that might have red flags:
NVIDIA Ge Force GT 120 graphics card ... mmm ... actually running through a Kona card I see.
The project is in HDV.
The project is on a 2.5" drive, which I suspect is not a 7200 rpm.
Yes, your Mac Pro has much greater bandwidth, but the clockrate is about the same, so it depends on how many cores are getting used... but I seriously doubt it's the issue.
Although the video card is touted by the DaVinci Resolve crowd as "optimal", Apple claims that the ATI 5770 is 5X faster. Most '09 Mac Pros for video editing got one. Moreover, the problems you mention with playback are suspicious. I use a 5770 in my '08 Mac Pro (2X 3.2GHz Quad core Xeon) and easily run two 27" monitors and my 37" HDTV (when it is not is in grading mode via MXO2 Mini.)
Irrespective of its "native" status, HDV imposes a very significant load on the processors. You may want to try transcoding the HDV to ProRes 422. The cost in transcode time and filesize is usually outweighed by the faster rendering times, larger colorspace for grading, and lack of "conform" on output.
I'd revise my position and suggest that when you sort out the display issues and transcode to ProRes things will improve significantly

How do I delete space between clips in the timeline.

I am adding several hundred photo's to the timeline. When I add them as a group, the the duration of each photo differs. I select a group of photo's, change the duration to 4.00 seconds and the clips change to 4 seconds but then there is a large space between each clip. Is there a way to select a group of clips in the timeline and have them connect to each other? How can I remove the space between clips?
Thanks for your help.

What you are describing happens when you have the position tool selected.
Hit 'A' to make sure you are using the select tool (also known as the 'Arrow' tool, hence the 'A' shortcut).
Unfortunately, your screenshots do not show which tool is active, but I am pretty convinced that that is your problem. Like Russ said, their look pretty similar to each other. But they work very differently.
Here is a picture showing the arrow tool (in blue):
And here is one with the Position tool (again, in blue):

Make Video Pause When Clicked?

Hi, I have a flash video that is set to autoplay when the page loads. We've just implemented thickbox/lightbox system on it now so when you click on the video it enlarges into that new frame. Problem is, when that's done the video/audio is still playing while the video in the thickbox is playing too. This leading to ineffective listening. Does anyone know a code that would trigger the video to pause when clicked anywhere on the video screen?
Right now the videos being tested at this link - http://edlevinjewelry.com/indexTEST.html
I don't currently have the video linked up to lightbox, just a link above the video to expand.
With FLVPlayback,this is my current code (it's currently coded and set up so the video autoplay starts at 52 seconds)...
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
import fl.video.VideoProgressEvent;
import fl.video.*;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);
function rewind(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
    my_FLVPlybk.seek(52);
    my_FLVPlybk.play();
var fp:FLVPlayback = my_FLVPlybk;
fp.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS, videoProgressHandler, false, 0, true);
fp.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED, metaDataHandler, false, 0, true);
fp.autoPlay = false;
var startSeekTime:Number = 52;
var videoDuration:Number;
var videoSeeked:Boolean = false;
function metaDataHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void {
     if(event.info.duration != null){
          videoDuration =event.info.duration;
function videoProgressHandler(event:VideoProgressEvent):void {
     var fp:FLVPlayback = event.currentTarget as FLVPlayback;
     var bytesLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded;
     var bytesTotal:Number = event.bytesTotal;
     if( !isNaN(videoDuration)){
          if( (bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) >= ( (startSeekTime+4)/videoDuration) && !videoSeeked ){
               videoSeeked = true;
               fp.seek(startSeekTime);
fp.play();

When I plugged in the code below, it had these 3 errors:

source - my_FLVPlybk.toggle=!my_FLVPlybk.toggle;
I put it in the actionscript, was there anywhere specific I was supposed to plug it with the rest of the code?
Thanks for helping with this.

How to delete several spaces between clips on timeline

I have hundreds of clip selects in my timeline pulled on a particular track. However, they have spaces between all of them. How do I delete all of the spaces, so that I can view the clips back to back. I don't want to have to click on each space & hit delete a hundred times. In FCP you could just pull a clip to a separate track at the end & higlight the space from the beginning of the sequence to that clip + hold down the delete.. It would delete, delete, delete quickly, closing the gaps on other tracks where possible.
How can I do that efficiently in PremPro?!
TIA,
Heather

Removing spaces between clips in imovie 10!?

Hello everyone!
first of all sorry if this questions is in the wrong place!
Anyway, I was wondering if there is ANY way to remove the spaces between video clips in imovie 10? The Spaces look like little black vertical lines... I'm trying to sync my video with a song that im using, and this proves to be very hard when i cant see where my video clips ACTUALLY start in the timeline....
ANY help is apreciated! let me know if i need to be more specific!

The black lines are just placeholders for adding transitions. If there is no transition the skimmer will jump to the start of the next clip. Easy way to find start of clip is to turn on snapping in view mwnu or hit the N key. Basically you can ignore the black lines unless you want to drop in a transition.

When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
THE ISSUE:
1) Here is my timeline:
2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
Kind regards,
Aurelien

This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC

No. Just use Google Earth on another computer next to the PR machine.

Playhead will no longer position itself in between clips in Final Cut Pro X timeline

I have been using Final Cut Pro X and it used to position the playhead in between clips with ease so I could drag down the audio and position it at the exact placement of playhead where I wanted it at the beginning of a new clip. However, now the playhead is not going to the beginning and end of clips, or inbetween clips and when I drag down the audio it won't go exact where the playhead is. I feel like it must have something to do with the settings, I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

The up/down arrow keys jump to Edit Points. There should be no space between clips, so getting "inbetween" clips is not technically acurate. You're either on the first frame fo the incoming clip, or the last frame of the outgoign clip. First frame of the incoming clip is what you want.
Yes, be sure snapping is on, and use the up/down arrow keys.

Pause between clips after rendering

I have a sequence with several video clips. I shot this entirely with a Canon 5DMarkII so the video format is H.264 mov.
Playback in the canvas/timeline is great until I render. Once I render- either the entire sequence or just a single transition- the playback pauses/stutters between clips. The stutter happens anywhere on the timeline, not isolated to the transition. Intra-clip playback is great, just when it gets to the end of the clip, it hiccups before moving to the next one.
If I delete the render files, playback goes back to normal.
I am editing on a new macbook pro, with an external firewire800 drive as scratch disk. I originally created the project on a new iMac with the same firewire drive and never had this problem. Its just since I have moved to my laptop.
Adjusting RT settings does not seem to correct this problem. Either does moving scratch disk locally or to another drive.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem using the canon 5d Mark 2 with final cut... it's really odd... can't put a finger on the problem... i checked the format of the sequence, along with the video clip... they both match... even the playback in the canvas i can notice the pause... i tried exporting a little portion of it just to preview, and the playback was smoother, but still noticed the pause between cuts...
another thing i noticed was that certain clips there was no pause... could it be a frame rate issue? perhaps it's trying to fill in the frames in between... i don't know... just a guess... i would still like to know how to remedy this problem tho... so let me know your findings... i'll do the same...

Delete the space between multiple clips, at once, on the timeline?

Is there a way to delete the space between multiple clips on the timeline with one click?
I trim clips on the timeline, so I can have a couple hundred clips with space between on the timeline. Is there a way to delete all the spaces between the clips at once?
Right now I have to ripple delete the space between each clip, big hassle and a lot of key strokes. Is there a better faster way to trim clips in general? Or delete the spaces on the timeline?

I have not used the source monitor much. Can I use the sourse monitor to make a lot of cuts "clips" out of one big clip? Say I want to take the highlights out of a long wedding ceremony? Or do I need to do this one the timeline. Edit clips on the timeline is very intuitive to me and I can do it fast, except for all the spaces betweent the clips.
Absolutely ( and I wouldnt do it any other way because it is designed for ease and speed)
Try it:
1.Target a Video and Audio track in the timeline
2. Place the long source file in the Source monitor.
3. Locate the first highlight and Set In and Out Points ( KBD Shortcut "I' and "O")
4.Then Insert it to the timeline ( KBD "," )
Note: there are a number of ways of sending the selection to the timeline (eg.Insert / Overlay buttons, drag it to the Program Monitor, drag direct to the timeline). You can also take video only, audio only, both. Darg options have modifier keys for insert / overlay ripple-ing
Back to the source monitor (step 2) and mark next highlight selection....repeat steps...etc.....
Ensure your CTI (playhead) is always at the end of the last clip in the timeline. KBD short cut "End" and you will have no gaps to deal with.

Error when double clicking a timeline clip

Hello,
I'm editing a movie on the latest and legal version of Mac's Premiere Pro CC. I began working on various projects and some days ago I merged them into one. Now, when I double click a timeline clip to preview or modify the in/out point of it an issue closes the software.
Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
If I double click the same clip in the project window the preview works without problems.
Everything was working perfectly on the independent projects. I have done that thousand times by importing various projects into one and it have always worked well.
I'm working with Apple ProRes files.
Thnks for your time!

First thing to try is clearing the preferences: with Premiere closed, go to Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0 and rename the folder "Profile-<username>." Launch PPro and see if the crash still happens. It's kind of a generic troubleshooting step, but a good place to start.
Also, go to File>Project Settings>General and check the Renderer setting. If it's set to use GPU acceleration, set it to Software Only. [Given that your graphics card has only 1/4GB of RAM, GPU acceleration should not even be available as an option. But given some recent changes, it's worth double-checking.]

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

Controling space between Text Items when using htp.p('HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT')

I'm using the following code inside a table tag within a loop to generate a multi-row printable form
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="right" width="100%" style="font-size:8pt">'||HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>2,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
I'm still getting gaps between rows.
How do I control the space between each row ? I want each text item row packed up like a spreadsheet with no gaps between rows. Although not shown (border="0") there is the enclosing table cell for each field, so what I want is no cellspacing and maximized item height within each cell.
But with the above code I'm getting...
etc.
but I want
Anyone know how to do this?

Paul P

Hi Chris , how's it goin'...
thanks for the response. I know how to control a table cell area's height but it's the height of the inner textitem that I'm having trouble with. When I turn on border="1" There's not much space left between cells, just the default width of a line. I just don't know how to expand the height of the text item. The CSS code you suggested, where do I put the code and how do I apply it?
Here is the guts of the PLSQL report code
for des_rec in des_cur loop
htp.p('<table height="100%" width="95%"border="0">');
htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial" width="80%" nowrap >'||
des_rec.DES_SERVICE_DESC||'</td>');
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="right" width="5%" style="font-size:8pt">'||
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>2,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="left" width="5%" style="font-size:8pt">'||
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>3,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
htp.p('</tr>');
htp.p('</table>');
end loop;

Why are there white spaces between my images when I preview my html design on a web browser?

I am creating an email newsletter with Dreamweaver CC and after being unable to find a way to use layers I opted to create the entire image in Photoshop and then break it into pieces to create the image links. I'm using tables and I have the padding and everything set to "0", but when I view it in the browser there are white spaces between each image. It looks solid in Dreamweaver, but in pieces on web browsers. I do not understand how or why this happened and I cannot figure out how to fix it. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I only used Photoshop for the layout. Then I created web-safe images for everything that I used for Dreamweaver. I uploaded the images to the internet and then image sourced them into the code so that they will be viewed properly in the correct circumstances. I haven't used HTML since about 2004 and I wasn't very good then. I've just been thrown back into it and I'm pretty much learning as I go. This is my second attempt because I wanted to make the newsletter more eye-catching. My first one is very basic and without a background image at all and that looks fine in pretty much all email clients. I tested it with Litmus. All except for Windows Live Mail, where the images didn't act as links but as static images. It works fine with the others I tested manually. Those being Gmail, Yahoo and AOL. I will try the display:block and get back to you. Thanks for your suggestions.
