Premier 12, Titles & Text, Current Time indicator, Pan & zoom

I am using Premier 12 and am really enjoying the program, I had been using Premier 8 and I am getting much fewer project crashes, in fact almost none! Whomever worked on this program did a really good job. I am also finding it very user friendly and have been using both the "quick" and the "expert" portions of the program. That said I have three questions,
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
Also when I have added all of my clips onto the timeline and have my "curent time indicator" at the "end" it does not stop and "go back" to the beginning/home unless I manually hit the "home" on my keyboard. I want to make sure that when I go to burn that the movie will instantly go back to the beginning of the project.
Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
Thanks

Good to learn of your progress with Premiere Elements 12.
3. Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
The Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Horizontal and Vertical Pan & Zoom choices in Presets are available in version 12 under fx Effects/Presets/. As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 it is either pan OR zoom applied to each clip, not pan AND zoom.
As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 there is the Motion Panel expanded and its Toggle Animation for doing more advanced pan and zoom effects. Here look to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded for it Scale (for Zoom) and Position (Pan) properties.
The Pan and Zoom Tool is not found in version 8.0/8.0.1. It can be found in 12, Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom. The feature comes with its own workspace once you select the image and then the feature under Tools Menu. Note, when the panned and zoom image is returned to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Pan and Zoom workspace, the duration of the image is markedly increased. That is normal. Here is a sample of more information on the topic

2.

I want to make sure that when I go to burn that the movie will instantly go back to the beginning of the project.
I am not sure that you are dealing with leftover beyond the left gray tab of the Work Area Bar. So let us make sure.
After you have added all your clips to the Timeline, do the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span that Timeline content from what you see as the beginning and end of the whole content? When you hit the play button of the monitor, does the Timeline content playback from beginning and end of what you can see as the beginning and end or does the Timeline Indicator continue beyond the last item that you put on the Timeline? If the latter, then you are some fragments further to the right of the end that you can see. Typically the present (with Timeline content expanded max) as very thin vertical black lines which will need to be deleted. In these cases, use the End key stop position to search for the leftover(s).
Other Home and End key to navigate the whole Timeline content under the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar.
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
The basics of this feature should be the same as in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1. Menu name is different and Titler has a different look but principles are the same between 8.0/8.0.1 and 12. Are you talking about looping a text title? Sounds like that. If so we can talk about that in greater detail. Have you done in 8.0/8.0.1 what you want to go in 12 in this regard? Or is this a new effect that you want to achieve?
Please review. Keep up the great work.

Start text layer (using Text Tool) from current time indicator - Adobe After Effects CC

This is something that would improve the speed of my workflow considerably. When I click inside a composition using the Text Tool, the text layer always positions itself at the beginning of the composition.
Is there any way to make the text layer start from the current time indicator so I don't continually have to scroll back to the start of the composition and drag the text layer forward to the desired position?
Many thanks.

There's a preference: Create Layers At Composition Start Time.

Moving clip to current time indicator through keyboard command?

I have a clip in my timeline that I am trying to move to the current time indicator using a keyboard command. In after effects, I would just use the "[" button to do this. For some reason, in Adobe Premiere, this does not work. Does anybody know a fix for this?

You don't need to hover the mouse over, or click, the Step Forward / Step Back buttons. Just use the wheel anywhere within the red block in the following image. Note also that you can scrub through the timeline by click-dragging across the CTI box (yellow block), or click-dragging across the Shuttle (green block).
If you click within the Monitor image so that the handles display (see red blocks below) then you can use the wheel anywhere within the Monitor pane to move the CTI back and forth. Again no clicking necessary.
Cheers,
Neale

Current Time Indicator Question

There is a grey area following behind the current time indicator everywhere it goes, and animation presets will move along, how do I change this problem

What is the problem? The grey area around the current-time indicator merely indicates the shutter angle and shutter phase of motion blur:

Current time indicator won't move to end of comp in After Effects CS6

The current time indicator won't move to end of comp in AE CS6. I setup a new comp at 10 seconds. When I drag the current time indicator OR hit the End key to bring the current time indicator to the end of the comp it stops at a value of 9:23. Is this a bug?

No, your frame rate is obviously 23.976, or it's most likely INcorrrectly 24.
The first frame of the comp is frame ZERO, as in 00:00. The last frame is 09:23. Which is what you set it to be.
00:00 - 09:23 is ten seconds. 00:00 - 10:00 is ten seconds and one frame. If the beginning frame was frame ONE, you'd be correct in your statement of woe. but the beginning frame is frame ZERO.

Close to the "current time indicator" there's a lighter gray section. What is it for?

Paste Clips In Place From Current-Time Indicator?

Is there a way to paste clips in Premiere Pro CS5 at the current-time indicator / playhead without it jumping to the end of the clip?
CS3 worked that way by default. CS4 introduced jumping ahead to the end of a clip when pasted.

Thanks for your reply Bill.
It does paste at the CTI, but then the CTI moves to the end of the pasted clip automatically. I liked it in CS3 when the CTI stayed in place.
Mostly I use this for audio editing just to do quick fixes by dropping in silence over background noise in the video. So it was handy when the CTI stayed in place because I could play or scrub through the audio without moving the CTI back to the start of the pasted clip each time, then resize it accordingly.
It's not a huge problem, but since it's been part of my workflow for so long it's an awkward change.

Premiere elements 12 - cannot move assets past current time indicator ... why?

Cannot drag/move jpg (img 1232) past current time indicator (red) on any of the available tracks ... it does nothing ... I can only drag/move asset around before the current time indicator ... why
This would make my work useless !!! Please help!
Newly installed as iMac OSX 10.8.5
Premiere Elements 12 directly downloaded from Adobe site (purchase version)

Dave
Whatever you decide, please keep watch on how many days from date of purchase so that you do not lose any rights to 30 day money back from Adobe if you purchased from Adobe.
I had some thoughts for some areas to look into in your situation.
You have asked several time if you are using the correct project preset. I do not see that any one has responded to that question. I am assuming that your iPhone 5s is recording H.264.mov or.mp4 1920 x 1080 @ up to 30 progressive frames per second. The frame rate is probably up to 30, meaning variable frame rate. So, where is the 120 frames per second video coming from? I would manually set the project preset for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
Details for manually setting the project preset are in the How To section of
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
The use of video with variable frame rate has created all sorts of issues besides audio out of sync with Premiere Elements. It could be the iPhone 5S video that is creating the problems, but.... Have you taken the time to remove selectively and sequentially types of media from the tracks to determine if such removal would then allow you to place additional media from Project Assets to Timeline wherever you want?
If you implicate the iPhone 5S video in the issue, you could take it into a program such as HandBrake and change the file's variable to constant frame rate and export it from there as 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second H.264.mp4 file. Then try it in your project.
The party line is that you cannot change the project preset once it has been set for a project. We can go into that later. By the way, if you start a new project, is the problem of placing source media where you want in the Timeline still there?
We will be watching for further developments.

Razor at current time indicator not working in cs4

Hi!
I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcut ctrl+K to work in Premiere CS4. Anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks!

Seems this is a good thing in CS4.
In CS3, you can split tracks that you didn't want split if you are not careful, so this seems like a very good new thing they added.

Pan & Zoom Not Working in PP4

Using PP CS4 with 8 years experience with Premiere, am having trouble with this effect. Effect Controls > Motion > Position & Scale controls are all there but the resizing for keyframes is not having any visible effect in either Source or Program monitors. The clip remains exactly as it was imported at full, uncropped view. Please help. Thx

Just for clarification, are you using the Pan & Zoom for a SlideShow in Encore, or are you using the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale & Motion>Position in PrPro?
If the latter, then I would post to the PrPro CS4 and Earlier Forum.
In the meantime, and in case you ARE encountering this issue in PrPro, let's go over the steps to do Pans & Zooms in the Effects Control Panel.
First, in your Timeline, Select your Still Image (or Video Clip).
If not in focus, get Effects Control Panel open and in front in its Pane.
Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator) /Playhead at the first Frame of that Still/Clip.
Look at the Fixed Effects list in Effects Control Panel, and for Motion, twirl that Open, to reveal both Scale and Position. Twirl those Open, to reveal their sliders.
For a Zoom, click the little Stopwatch icon next to it, to toggle Keyframe animation ON, and place a Keyframe on that First Frame.
At this point, that Keyframe will have a value of 100%, or original size. If one needs to adjust that, say for a Zoom Out to full Scale, but needs to start Zoomed In, set it to where you wish to start.
Move to the time (on the Timeline, or on the mini-timeline in Effects Control Panel - the CTS's are linked), where you want the Zoom Out to end, and click the New Keyframe button, the filled circle in the ◄●► icon. A new Keyframe is added at that spot. Now, adjust the Scale to what is desired there.
One can adjust the Interpolation between those Keyframes, if desired, but that is something that one will be better off, if they read the full section on Keyframe Interpolation in the Help Files.
If one wishes to add a Pan, then the same process is repeated, but for the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

How to store current time into database when key is pressed in text input?

I am a beginner in java programming.
I use netbeans in my project which I need to cature the keystroke pattern of users.I have problem in capturing and storing the current time when a key is pressed or released in a text input.
This is the jsp i wrote.

I can't store the latency and hold_time value into my database (Java DB Database) in javascript.
Can anyone please help me?

Thanks shoopy for your suggestion.
But, I want to store latency and hold_time to database everytime the key is pressed and released, that means users are typing, meanwhile the values of latency and hold_time are stored. The datas are stored before users click "Next" button. So, is it POST that form to a JSP page can solve it?
Hope you all can help me, I have been stuck in this problem for a long time.
Thanks

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

jhb3243
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
Thanks.

Why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text??

why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text?? I'm trying to wrap up a project for work and now fcpx thinks it needs to crash every time i click on a "title" to edit it. It's making the completion of this project nearly impossible.

nope, i'm just using the select tool "a" to move my titles .. if the inspector is open, the second i click on any title in any project the whole program crashes. but with the inspector closed i can move my titles at will without a crash. i'm not sure what's allowing me to manipulate titles since you've said Lion updates haven't fixed this function. and i'm not sure what's making fcpx crash to the ground every time i click a title with the inpector open. all i know is that this little loophole i've found is working for me and has allowed me to complete my project this morning which is awesome.

Add the current time to Openbox window titles?

I want to add the current time to window titles in openbox. Is this possible and if so, how would I go about it? I have googled this to death but can't seem to find an answer. If someone could even just point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I do have a clock, using conky, but it is covered up whenever an app is maximized. Yes I do know there are workarounds, and I have used them in the past, but I was looking for a different solution.
I am not all that good at programming but I will use this opportunity to learn more. Thanks for all the info that has been given already and I appreciate any more ideas anyone may have.

How do I create a text insertion of the current time? My "date

My "date & time" stamp under Insert only prints the date. I can edit it to include the time each time I use it, but this is a real bother, as I use it often and want the time included. Actually I want a separate time stamp to keep track of time spent on specific projects. If there is no separate time stamp in Pages (hard to believe), can I create one that will print the current time without including the date? Second best: edit the "date & time" to always and automatically include the time?

Right click on the date after inserting > Edit Date & Time > Choose the Time only option
There is no way I know to have it default to this unfortunately.
You can try inserting the start time and have an updating time in a Table and calculate the difference, but the problem is the update only happens on reopening the document, not on saving.
You are better off using Billings to do all this for you:
