PrE 10 freezes when dragging clips into timeline

Computer stats: Windows7, 64-bit, Intel i5-450M (Dual Core) 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 325+ GB free on hard drive
As soon as I drag-n-drop media into the timeline, PrE 10 instantly freezes. I can Add Media to the edit window without problem. I wait for all processing to stop, and then as soon as I drag just one clip to the timeline, PrE 10 freezes. I tried different clips - including just short ones - with the same results. I was using an external hard drive, but I copied the clips over to my computer's hard drive to see if that made a difference (the NTFS vs FAT32 discussion) ... no change; same problem even when adding the media directly from my computer's hard drive.
I appear to be having this problem with video shot from my Canon S95, but not my Canon T3i. The S95 shoots video at 1280x720, 23.976 fps and uses the .MOV wrapper. I have tried using both the project settings for AVCHD 720p, 23.976 fps and the DSLR project setting for 720p / 23.976 fps. GSpot read the CODEC as the AVCHD / 23.976fps, so I assumed that project setting would have worked. I checked for any PrE 10 updates as well as QuickTime updates - all good.
As a comparison, my T3i shoots video at 1940x1080 at 30fps, and I used the DSLR project setting that matched those #'s -- had absolutely no problem with dragging media to the timeline and editing. Worked great.
I went through this FAQ and didn't find anything of note:

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
Can cut and paste within timeline.
Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!

Thank you so much for asking
In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
I can cut and paste in the timeline.
A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
Four different mouses--same problem.

Can't drag clips into timeline (newbie warning)

I'm sure that this has been discussed previously on this board, but I couldn't find a post.
Back to my problem: All of a sudden, the current project that I'm working on will not let me drag clips into the timeline. The clips turn to a "lite" color of gray and freeze. I'm brand new to this so a uncondescending response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi larget2 - this being a very friendly board, it is most unlikely that you will be scorned! We've all sought and been given willing help here from time to time.
Some more details might be of help in solving your problem:
How big is your project, and how much storage space do you have?
What is the source of your clips?
Is this your first project, or have you successfully completed others?
How far into the project were you before the problem began?
Is your project stored on your start-up disk, or on an external drive?
try repairing permissions (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility), and with iMovie closed down, trash this file: Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist.

I'm no longer asked to match sequence settings in Premiere Pro CC when dragging clip to timeline

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden, when I drag clips from project into the timeline, I'm no longer asked if I want to match clip settings with sequence settings. How can I re-enable this asking feature?

Crashing when dragging clips into source box! "Premiere Pro has encountered an error."

Hi, I just installed the CS5 Premiere Pro software trial version and it keeps on crashing when I drag my imported clips into the source box?
It says:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Please help b/c I would like to use this program for a project due Monday. Thank you so much!

@ Andrey V.: I tried that but it did not work. I still get the same error message. =(

Why CS4 freezes when drag clips to time line ?

Hi, I am using CS4 whenI grab and drop all the clips at onece on the time line most of the clips at the end freezes. The clips in the start of the time line plays ok on time line and but when it reaches blank clips, CS4 seems freezes and I have to select CTRL+ALT+DEL to getout which will distroy all data on time line. I am using Dell Precision T7500, 2.4GHz Proc, 12GB DDR3 RAM with ECC, Nvidia Qudro FX 3800 with 1Gb memory, RAID 5 sys with 3 600GB, SAS HDDs(but shows as only one big HDD, ie. 1.09 TB total in C:\ and my data and project/scratch disk data saved in USB connected external HDD. All my OS and Prgrams saved in C:\ drive. I would really appreciate for any advice I can try to get rid of long lasted problem...Ur help is much appreciated. Thx.

You have made a giant mistake in setting up your disks like that. Your currently have:
1. A gigantic 1.09 TB raid5 for OS & program, which is very fast (around 170 MB/s transfer rate) of which you use about 40 GB.
2. A very slow USB drive that is only suitable for backups (around 20 MB/s transfer rate).
What you should do is:
1. Get a new Samsung F4 320 GB disk for OS & proagrams ( around € 30) or better. The F4 gives the best bang-for-the-buck.
2. Use the raid5 for all your other requirements, projects, media, media cache, etc.
3. Use the USB disk for backups and possibly for exports,
You will likely get transfer rates around 120 MB/s for 1, 170 MB/s for 2 and 20 MB/s for 3.
This € 30 investment will increase your performance significantly.
To paraphrase Armstrong: "A small step for man, a giant step for mankind", would tramslate into: "A small investment for you, a giant step in your performance".

Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 - Crash when dragging videofile into timeline

Hey guys,
when I try to drag a image or videofile (doesn't really matter which fileformat, codec or length) into a sequence Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 will crash immediately, without a warning. Just the usual "Adobe Premiere has stopped working" in Windows 7.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with 4GB RAM, Intel Core i3-4130 COU @ 3,40 GHz and a Intel HD Graphics 4400. Premiere Pro worked seamlessly just days before, without any change to the system. The error occured in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 too. Maybe it's a problem with the video preview? Music files are no problem.
Thanks in advance! Need help asap. customers are waiting

Solution:
My graphics card did not supported the "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL)". You can change it into "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" in your Project Settings.
But this is in the wrong place in my opinion. Why not in "Edit/Preferences"? I could've changed it by myself but I did not find the menu.
Thanks Michaela from the Adobe Support Chat!

Wild Colors when dragging clips in Sequence

Hi All,
I just installed CS4 Production Premium on my Mac OSX Lion, everything updated to latest version (4.2.1)
On Premiere Pro, when I'm dragging clips into and around the sequence, the clips themselves turn into a crazy kaleidescope of colors everytime it is moved.
And it's like frozen onto the screen unless I close and reopen the sequence timeline. Why is this? Is anybody else having similar issues?
See image below:
So far it plays fine in a 2nd monitor, but the clip still gets crazy colors after dragging.
I am using Sony XDCAM EX clips (mp4).
I will try with other formats.
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I do have Avid Media Composer 6 installed on the same system.
It is an 8-core Mac Pro, 6GB RAM, NVidia 8800GT card, various storage types (RAID5 on an AVID VideoRaid ST, 1TB hard drives)
Thanks

There have been several similar posts to this forum, and, IIRC, all revolved around Lion. I do not recall any "fix," however, but they might well be in those posts. Being a PC-only person, I did not follow the threads as closely, as I should have.
I'd Search this forum, and maybe on "display," and "Lion."
If I can locate the threads, I'll post links.
Good luck, and wish my memory was better.

Trouble dragging clips to timeline

We are having trouble dragging clips into our project timeline. The clips seem to fade out and can't be manipulated or dragged. We have not had this problem before.

I only know of one cause for that:
When you have finished importing the video do not go straight to editing but first save the project, close iMovie, then open the project again.
Now the clips should behave themselves!
I hardly ever use the clips pane except for occasionally 'parking' a clip for later use. I always import straight into the timeline.

Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

I'm new.
Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

Can't drag clip into movie

I have a library of clips. I've created projects before. I create a new project. I try to drag a clip into the new movie. It fails. The little clip icon just snaps back to the original location of the clip. I try other clips. Same thing.
Something has changed iMovie such that I can't create a new project and drag clips into it.

My bad. Error was between the chair and the keyboard. I was trying to drag whole clips rather than selections of frames.

My iphone 4s keeps freezing when I go into my messages.

My 4s keeps freezing when I go into my messages and there are times when I wont get text messages till 20 minutes later. Not sure what to do, I think the delayed text times might have to do with the sprint network, but I'm not sure why my phone keeps freezing.

1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

I can't drag clips into my timeline - HELP!

I am working on a project at the moment and I am having issues with dragging imported clips into my timeline. I click on them to drag them down but they go grey and stay put! What is going on, can anyone help me as this is quite an urgent project.

What happens if you drag them to the clips viewer instead of the timeline? (Click on the small film frame next to the small clock at lower left before you drag.)

Why can't I drag clips into the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6?

Sorry if I am saying something obvious, but do you have a project timeline open?
I suggest you look at a good video tutorial to help you get started with FCP X.
One of the good ones (and free, too) is at Izzy Video: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/
