Playhead issue

How do i synchronize the playhead in the viewer with the playhead on the time line. I have selected in the viewer a sound clip. I found exactly the spot i want to split the clip but the playhead in the timeline hasnt moved to the same spot - hence the razor blade tool is useless at this point until i can align the playhead on the time line with the playhead in the viewer.. Any thoughts ?
Being able to couple the playheads and decouple them while pooping along through the editing would be helpful.

Is your audio clip already in the timeline? If so, wouldn't listen to it in the viewer, but in the canvas. But I guess if you know where you want to edit the clip in your viewer, say at 1 minute 4 seconds and 13 frames, you would just go to 1 minute 4 seconds and 13 frames from the beginning of the clip and make your edit there. There should be some timecode in the upper left hand side of the viewer to give you that information. I'm sure there's probably a better way to do it, I just don't know how.

  • BUG: Content moving between Muse and Preview/Browser

    Content on the sites I design move from where its placed in the muse application and where it is in preview mode on a browser (or actually uploaded) before the update where it was on Muse was where it was when it was uploaded, what was on preview was just incorecct. However now what gets uploaded is what is shown in preview mode now Muse, which is incorccectly placed.
    It's done it in some kind of form on every project I've completed.
    Hopefully the pictures below will explain this better.
    The items below aren't in the "footer" and this is on a page, not a master.
    Any help would be appricated.
    The only "cure" I've found for it is to copy the parts which are incorrect, and paste them in place. Usually this makes something else move (in this case the white bar went to where it is in muse and the black sides went back to where they should be in preview so I had to then copy the white bar and paste it in place)

    Thanks BenB.
    What Mac are you on?

    Yes - I AM the TrashMeister!
    I also find sometimes I have to toggle Scrubbing on/off (s key) once or twice to break out of playhead issues on rare occation.
    That's a bug, too, then.
    I can get out of it (by clicking with the mouse) and trashing the prefs seems to help - but it looks like a bug to me.
    Surely trashing the prefs should not be required - I rearely need to trash the prefs of any other application - and if it is (and it has been since I started using FCP 4) then why the h*ck doesn't FCP X trash its own wretched prefs?

  • I can't get the audio Playhead menu to appear so I can trim an audio segment in a secondary audio track.  I see others are having Trimming Issues, but I can't even get the menu to appear.....

    I need to trim off the front and back of audio segments (pulling from iTunes)
    The instructions seems quite clear on how to do this, but the Playhead Control does not appear when selecting and item in the secondary audio track.  It seems pretty basic, but how do I even get the Playhead to appear?
    I'm in hurry to finish a slideshow for a wedding (why I bought it to begin with) - any help will be appreciated.

    That's the for the secondary track.  But how do I trim the primary audio song from itunes.  I did find a work around. 
    select  the song in itunes.
    command + I to get the information screen.
    Under one of the tabs there is a "start" and "end" timer.  Trial and error will put allow you to start and stop at the time specifed.
    I renamed it " trimmed" so I knew it was a timmed version...then I inserted it into aperture the normal way...
    A pain, but it works...

  • Logic Pro 9: Playhead/Playback/Audio Levels/Logic Pro X Issue, PLEASE HELP!

    When I press play within the project, the playhead doesn't move from left to right with the audio like it should. As well as within the mix window, the audio levels are not displayed. However, when I click and hold within the arrange window, everything is fine and working properly, but I'm not going to be holding down the mouse the whole time I'm working on a project.
    Does anybody have any sort of advice for me at all?
    Also, if I were to buy Logic Pro X, would all of my projects currently running in Logic Pro 9 be able to open up in Logic Pro X? I also have the Waves Mercury Bundle, Vangard and Antares Auto-Tune, would all of those work with Logic Pro X?

  • Audio / video sync issue in playback

    for every recording i've made, when i play back the archive there is noticable lack of sync between the audio and the person's mouth.   the video seems to lag behind by almost a second.  the good news at least is that the delta is constant.
    has anyone else experienced this?  it's happening in any scendario i try, even if i'm just recording myself. 
    is the LCCS dev team aware of this?  since audio and video streams are recorded separately, is there any way for me to programatically 'nudge' the streams into sync?
    it's currently a show stopper, it looks really bad when the sync is so obviously absent.

    finally getting back to this..
    i did as you suggested and recorded a video of myself using the recording and playback examples provided with the SDK (the 2.2 newest version btw).
    the de-syncing of audio and video is definitely there.  it seems especially bad for longer recordings.  however, an interesting thing i discovered in playback:
    - sometimes, if i drag the playhead somewhere in the recording, pause, and then hit play, video and audio fall into sync. 
    - if i start playback from the beginning of the recording, audio/video is always out of sync.
    i understand that the video and audio streams are recorded separately and thus played back separately.  my guess is that when those streams are retrieved and playback begins, one starts before/after the other because they're not retrieved at exactly the same time.  it seems some extra work is required to ensure that their playback commences at exactly the same timestamp within each stream.
    i can provide my recordings as an example if required.
    this is a total showstopper for me.  it renders the entire recording service useless if the playback can't have sync between audio and video.  i would be happy to help with testing this more.  can someone from the LCCS team comment on this issue?
    thanks

  • What is the best way to hook up an external monitor? Im having some issues!

    Up until now I have been able to use my external monitor while editing. I recently got a 20" HDTV with HDMI and a jack to use it as a computer monitor. I notice that once I set my VIEW option to ALL FRAMES in FCP, it will only show me a frame at a time until I stop the playhead then the shot will pop up wherever I stopped the playhead.
    The set up:
    I have a Caldigit 4TB Raid that i use for editing. I have a FW800 going from that to my G5 Powermac. I also have a FW400 coming out of the Caldigit to my Sony GVD-1000 MiniDV deck (only using this as a "pass through"). I have S-Video/RCA audio coming out of the Sony to the jacks on the 20" HDTV.
    Now I was getting a picture but it was showing me a frame at a time. Now it won't show me anything at all not even on the Sony GVD1000 deck. ALL FRAMES is still set in FCP. I am not sure why I cannot see my work in real time on the other monitor or see it period for that matter.
    Device Control is set to FW basic which turns my screen black. However when I select another option other than FW Basic, it turns my screen blue so that right there tells me that the computer is talking to the monitor.
    As for Graphics card, I am using the ATI Radeon 9600. Last night I hooked up a custom made DVI to HDMI cable and nothing happened aside from desktop icons completely left the screen. Maybe I need to set it up to Mirror the other screen before I hook that cable up or something. Still doesn't explain my issue with FCP.
    I do NOT have a AJA or Matrox breakout box and Im thinking I probably will need that. Perhaps my problem could be everything is digital till the signal gets to the Sony deck, i am coming out that deck with analog signals to the monitor.
    Any suggestions?
    Before I bought the HDTV, I had a regular SD monitor and never had any issues with seeing my work on it while I edited.
    I am working with footage shot in 720p and I am using the correct HD codec to edit with so I am not sure why I cannot view my work on my external monitor.
    Thanks!

    Your setup works fine for DV, because you used a DV deck and most likely DV footage. But now you are working with 720p HD footage (what format, BTW? HDV, dvcpro HD?). That same setup won't work for monitoring HD. Now you need an HD box or card to send out a proper HD signal. And since you have an older G5, you won't find any current solutions. You'll have to look at used capture cards that are PCIx. Or you and look at the Matrox MXO, that connects to the computer via a monitor connection. DVI.

  • Double-clicking on midi region(s) doesn't center the playhead - why?

    This issue is driving me nuts:
    Say I have the playhead parked at bar 20 in the arrange window and want to examine the midi notes on all of my tracks in THAT bar. I have 8 midi tracks. I double-click on a midi region and the piano roll opens in the window at the bottom. Sometimes is shows the playhead parked at bar 20, but most of the time it doesn't: it is way off to the left or right of bar 20. This happens when I examine the remaining 7 midi regions by double-clicking on them as well.
    If I can't see the playhead, then I have to mouse and scroll and mouse and scroll to get to see the playhead.
    It would be much less time-consuming if every midi region I double-clicked showed the playhead in the center of the piano roll, where I parked it at bar 20. After all, THAT is the measure I am examining on every midi track.
    Can Logic do this?

    Here is a link to photos showing the problem:
    http://glankrudy.smugmug.com/gallery/6838272Ab5QL#6445407666Fdpc
    I tried the "set locators" solution which you'll see.
    For some strange reason, only the percussion parts are not showing bar 20...

  • How do I lock Audio clip at playhead in iMovie

    Hi,
    I have been using iMovie HD for years.  Great program.  Finally had to move on to iMovie 10.  What a total disaster that is.  I have a myriad of issues with it, as does everyone else, but right now I am trying to figure out how to lock an audio clip at the playhead, as one essentially needs to be able to do for even pretty simple home movie edits.  Am I being stupid or has this functionality been entirely removed by some genius Apple programmer?  Why do I get the feeling that what used to be a brilliant and intuitive piece of software has been  completely eviscerated to the point of uselessness?
    Any ideas?  Thanks
    Richard

    No, it's not been removed. You just need to drag your audio clip to the right place.
    In your case, you want to drag it directly to the timeline and not to the background music well below the timeline.

  • GeForce GTX 780 and Premiere CC 2014 footage issues on Win 8.1

    Hey everyone
    I just bought a PC media workstation, having been a Mac guy for 15 years.  As I was installing apps, AU, AE, Cinema4D all worked as expected. But PR literally would chug when playing back almost any footage (in this case mostly my ProRes422HQ from my BMPC). The playhead moved, I heard audio but the picture never changed.  Even the low-quality h264 proxy footage I tested performed like this.
    Interestingly, whether I was enabling GPU based editing in Premiere or not, it had no effect whatsoever.
    I talked w/ the guys at Mediaworkstations.net and we narrowed it down to what we think is an issue between of graphics card support from Adobe.  I even retro-installed CC and CS6 and both had the same results.  Was hoping someone from Adobe would speak into this and offer some help.

  • PP CC not playing back footage from timeline. Playhead moves but program window doesn't update.

    I have an issue that usually comes up a few minutes after using Premiere Pro CC. Everything is fine and then the program window will stop previewing video from the timeline. Nothing else is frozen though. I can still move the playhead in the timeline around and select/highlight clips. But the program window will freeze on a frame and not update when i press play or move the playhead in the timeline. If I quite PP it will close but the icon still shows it as open so I have to "force quit". When I re-open the program it plays fine but the issue eventually comes up in a couple minutes. I'm guessing this has something to do with render issues… I'm using a Macbook Pro bought in early 2011.
    Here are my specs:
    Processor  -- 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory -- 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk -- my internal Macintosh HD
    OS -- Lion 10.7.5
    Graphics -- AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Thanks!

    Yes I downloaded PP CC on Decebmer 3rd, 2014. I can do that, would that help? I will google about doing that.
    Ok… googled it… It turns out my graphics card doesn't support OpenCL (or CUDA)… it doesn't show up in the lists here: System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro
    So I will switch to software only. Do you think that will solve the issue?

  • Premiere Pro CC2014 Playback issues, Render issues, Serious Error issues

    Here's my problem.  Premiere Pro CC worked amazing. Never had any issues with playback, rendering - nothing. However, CC 2014 appears to be quite different. Yesterday I literally had to restart Premiere every 20 minutes! Out of no where video playback would stop. The playhead would continue and I could still here audio, but I either saw a still frame of video or it would go completely black. The only way to get out of Premiere was to force quit. I also was not able to save the process I had made over the last 20 minute session.  You can imagine my frustration as I have clients in with me on this edit. I need to know a fix and I need to know it quick. If Adobe wants to be in the professional game, they need to fix it ASAP.

  • Strange audi sync problem & different, stranger video sync issu in sequence

    I have two strange occurances with one particular set of media that was downloaded from the same original source mini-dv (recording in dvcam) tape. I have not found the same issue on any other footage.
    1) when the media is imported into FCP, the audio is out of sync. it is slightly out at the beginning and then gets progressively worse.
    2) when this footage is used in a sequence, the video that show in the sequence is not the same as the video that is exported when this sequence is exported as QT movie (or any other export option) Like the audio the video out of sync gets progressively worse.
    - The original media is perfectly in sync looking at the digitized source ie: in Quicktime. There is no audio out of sync problem.
    - the only difference I could see in the file was that this media is 3.5mb data rate whereas all the others are 3.6mb.
    - other tapes from the same camera do not have a problem
    - I do all my downloading from a firewire deck and not from the camera
    - I upgraded from 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 (as did the QT 7.5 upgrade also) to see if that fixed the problem but to no avail.
    Very perplexing. I managed to work around this problem in a sequence whos deadline was looming by manually slipping the footage in the sequence the required number of frames. This is where it also gets odd. I was able to do this by
    - double click the clip in the sequence which then loaded that into the viewer.
    - position the playhead at the beginning of the clip
    - from the canvas select the go to position in master clip option which then loaded the masterclip into the viewer. the position in the masterclip was always the correct frame (ie the frame I expected to see as per my edit). The frame showing in the canvas was also the correct frame (but this would not be the case when exported)
    - the next thing i did was to use the slip tool, as soon as i held the slip tool over the sequence clip, the frame in the canvas would be the wrong frame (the frame i would see when I exported).
    - then i would just carefully slip the sequence clip back to the matching correct frame. So watching in the viewer, I would align the frame that showed in the viewer to the frame in the canvas.
    When done the frame showing in my sequence would be a completely different frame but when exported, the frame that I expected to see would be the exported frame.
    I could find no logic to the amount I needed to slip each time (I am sure there is logic but I couldnt figure out what that was). the clip at the end of the footage needed to be slipped -10:09, and this got progressively smaller to the clip at the beginning of footage needing to be slipped -:16
    Hopefully that wasnt too confusing.

    btw, i have tried recapturing the footage and i have offlined it, copied it to another location and onlined it in the new location to no avail. still have the sync and video in sequence issues.

  • Does the Imovie 6.0.3 update fix the stability issues?

    Hi,
    Been using Imovie 6.0.2 a fair bit lately, and have had quite a few crashes. I see from this forum that I'm not the only one.
    I haven't yet been able to update to the latest version (6.0.3) released last week, and would like some user experience opinions about whether the update has fixed the stability issues. Anybody noticed any improvements or otherwise?
    My crashes seem to happen pretty randomly, it could be when you're putting a transition in, or just when you click Play or move the playhead. Any time really. I get the little spinning circle and Imovie is hung. Tried leaving it for ages just in case it was eventually going to return, but it doesn't.
    Has the patch fixed it?
    cheers,
    Ian

    Software Update says I have nothing that needs updated. Since I know this isnt true, I went to Downloads and attempted to install both updates--it stopped and said I had to go back to the previous download. After a couple journeys back to nowhere, I gave up.

  • Playhead randomly JUMPS to the end of the timeline when "editing" during playback

    CS 6.0.1
    OSX 10.7.4
    I love the new feature in CS6 that lets you edit DURING playback, and playback won't stop. Brilliant.
    Now, I use this feature a lot making cuts as I go. I use the "command + shift + k" combo to make an edit to all tracks while the playhead is moving along. It seems though that every so often when I do this, the playhead warps to the end of the timeline. Very frustrating, and when dealing with long timelines,really slows me down, to get back to where I was working.
    Also I can repeat this "glitch" very easily, so its not some totally random occurance. Just pushing cmd+shift+k while the playhead is moving a few times repeats it very quickly.
    Am I doing something wrong here? Or toggling some OTHER key command inadvertently? Or is this a legit glitch?
    EDIT: I would like to add that using the "nudge" command during playback has the same glitch of arbitrarily jumping to the end of the timeline if you click the nudge command quickly in succession.

    This issue was NOT resolved by manually installing all cs6 updates that were failing with adobe product manager, then doing a clean installation of the latest drivers from Nvidia's website using the ODE (Optimal Drivers for Enterprise) Graphics Drivers.
    The issue came back after editing for a little bit., however this following fix worked:
    *FIXED BY ADOBE TECH SUPPORT INDIA*
    The solution was to delete all media cache files and all cache settings for the specific project.   Check all your cache locations and encoded media file locations.

  • Webm loads completely before playing and starts playhead at the end

    Hi,
    We are trying to figure out playback of our WebM videos in Firefox. Looking at the native video player by going directly to a video url we have some strange behavior.
    We have found that the browser seems to download the entire video before beginning playback. When the video finally does download and playback, we find that often the playhead will be placed at the end of the video. If the playhead is not at the end of the video, you can't just click play, you have to click a position in the "timeline" to get the video to begin playing.
    Ideally, the behavior would be that the video beings playback as it starts to download from the beginning of the file.
    We are encoding the videos with FFMPEG using libvorbis and libvpx. We server our content from Amazon Cloudfront, but can also test from a lighttpd server (same behavior).
    Please let me know if you would like more information and thank you for your help!
    Here are a bunch of our videos to look at:

    Has anyone found an answer to this? I tested and used a different converter other than Miro and the issue didn't happen. The webm file played normally. Fact is, i dont want to pay for another converter - I really want to use Miro.
    ...anything?
