Premiere pro 2014 freezes when I try to "insert" clip into timeline

I just upgraded to 2014, 1 out of 4 times, when I try to insert a clip onto the timeline the program freezes and I have to force quit. I thought it might be some sort of conflict with the previous version premiere, so I uninstalled. Still happens. Makes the program completely unusable.
System:
osx 10.8.5

Problem dragging clips to timeline...

I am pretty new to this so there is probably an answer right under my nose. Anyway, when I import .jpg's over to my clip viewer they show up but when I click to drag to timeline they gray out and won't move to timeline. I have been working on this project for a couple of days and did not have this issue prior to this morning. Help?
Thanks much,
Chris

Finally fixed same problem today. Here is what I found in Making a Movie in iMovie by Jeff Carlson. It worked for me.
Open disk utility which is located in the utilities folder within application folder. Choose your start up disk and clik to repair permissions and do that for all disks if you have more than one and restart your computer.
It solved my problem. Good luck!

Weird problem moving clips to timeline!

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.0.3 in Win 7 64bit. Almost every time I start a new project, after I've imported my clips to the Project window, as soon as I move the first single clip to the timeline, ALL the clips jump to the timeline in random order, as if they were one big single clip!! Weird! If I Undo it, and then try again to move a single clip to the timeline, then it works okay...usually. Sometimes not, and the only way to correct it is to dump the clips and re-import them, or restart Premiere.
I figure this must be something I've overlooked in one of the setups, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. If I can get a single clip onto the timeline, then the rest of the session works just fine. Also, this doesn't seem to effect saved projects. Just happens when starting a brand new project. Any ideas? Thanks!

When they get imported into a Bin they are all "selected" (Highlighted) in case one wants to do some other group action with them (eg Modify).
CTRL- A will deselect them (ie unhighlight them) allowing one to use them individually.
Clicking off them = click somewhere else apart from the Highlighted files.
Got it?

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.

IMovie '11 on 10.6.8 greys out contents of library, so I cannot drag and drop clips to timeline.

This has happened on multiple occasions. I don't know why Apple can't figure out how to create a reliable program. I have been using iMovie for several months now, updated to '11 in April, on OSX 10.6.8, and usually it works fine, but occasionally, out of the blue, all of the clips in my library will be greyed out. I cannot edit them in timeline unless I go to each clip individually and open up the separate editing window, I cannot drag and drop the clips to timeline, I have to manually copy and paste, and I cannot see any of the clips unless I roll over them with my mouse. My free trial of Final Cut Pro just expired and I have a couple of videos that are almost finished and this is extremely frustrating. I have seen others with similar experiences and I'm wondering if there is anything at all I can do about it. Thank you.
P.S. I did try restarting the program about 5 times and restarted my computer. Nothing gives.

Of course, I might have found a fix right after posting this. In case someone else comes along with the same issue...
I closed my MBP cover, and re-opened (this solved a menu bar issue I was also having). I re-opened iMovie, and deleted the project I had started that couldn't be continued. I started a new project, and things seemed to work just fine. So I'm not sure what it was that caused the problem, but so far it seems to be working now. Good luck!

Can't see clip preview in clip or timeline view

This may be a simple problem, but I am brand new to this. I am making a movie out of photos, and the process seems simple. I drag a photo from my iphoto library (from the photos pane) into the clip view (or timeline). The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black. So I can't really easily edit the clips because I have no idea which one is which (besides looking at the filename!). The images I am importing are jpegs and like I said it has no problem playing the movie correctly I just see what I am working with in the clip view. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!
The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the
clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black.
Very strange.
To make sure we understand what you see... The imported image plays okay on the timeline after it's imported, but its thumbnail in the timeline is black. Instead of the thumbnail showing the imported image, the thumbnail is black. Correct?
Does the imported clip play black too?
The only thing I can think of that makes a clip play black is when the Ken Burns Effect is set to pan above/below the image or left/right of the image. Then, instead of importing the image, Ken Burns imports the black border along one side of the image.
To unset the pan so Ken Burns is centered over the image, do this:
1. Click on any image in the iPhoto library.
2. Turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox.
3. Click in the "Start" half of the Start/End thingy.
4. Drag the zoom slider (the slider with the small/large face profile) a bit to the right, then all the way to the left.
5. Click on the "End" half of the thingy and repeat #4.
Now the import is centered. If the pan was causing the problem, that should fix it.

Background noise removal takes about 3 seconds into each clip in timeline to kick in, so each clip has noise in the first few seconds. How do you get this to remove noise from the very start of the clip?

insert a 5 second gap in the beginning of the timeline.

Problem inserting photos in Imovie project

i have what seems an unusual problem inserting photos into one of my projects. some photos insert fine however others that are dragged into the project dont appear when the video is played. the bar does however appear above the video clip showing that the photo has been inserted and the duration can be toggled.
i then tried inserting the same photo into another short project and it worked fine?!
has anyone come across this? would really appreciate your help as trying to put together a video clip for a wedding which is taking place in a few days!!
many thanks

I have also tried deleting the com.apple.imovie.plist ... I don't have one to delete ?? And, I tried repairing disk permissions with disk utility ... no change. I have also tried changing the title of the project. These same pictures can be added into any other project ... I'm going CRAZY!

Multi-track duration issue when inserting clips

I apologize if I missed this anywhere. Tried to search first.
I'm using Audition cs6 and I have a clip in my waveform viewer. I have already created a new multi-track session that matches the specs of the source files.
HOWEVER, when I make a selection on the source file and select "Insert into multitrack" and then select the session, it inserts it 14-hours and 22-minutes into the blank 30-second session. This throws off the whole viewing slider and it becomes very difficult to manipulate the timeline. If I simply drag the file from the browser and then re-trim it, it's fine, but not using the insert command.
Why is this and is there a way to correct this?
Any help would be wonderful

It sounds like the file has BWF Time Reference metadata embedded. You can verify this by opening Window > Metadata and under the BWF tab, check the Time Reference field. To disable this behavior, uncheck Preferences > Multitrack > Use embedded timecode when inserting clips into Multitrack.

Inserting clip so it moves the others down

Hello,
I am using CS3.
I currently have several clips on my timeline. When i work fast, I tend to drag clips I need drop it into the time line. I expect it, to move the other clips to the right, without creating a blank space or without overlaying.
Unfortunatley all it does is overlay. Even when I hold ctrl and drag it, it then creates a space in the middle of the clip and cuts the pre-existing clip. I don't want that to happen.
I suppose I am looking to insert clips in a similiar fashion like how it was in the older version of premiere 6.0.
Please advise.

If I have 2 clips on the time line.
Part of the second clip is not so visible on my monitor.
I then drag a clip holding the ctrl button and position it by the 2nd clip. I am hoping it will automatically go to the end of the 2nd clip. However it simply overlays the clip. Please advise.
In the old version of premiere, in 6.0,it used to be a bit easier to drag clips.
How do I make it such that the default edit is a ripple edit, and not an overlay edit?

Beeping sound while playing clip on timeline

Hello.
I try to edit the newly captured clip on timeline, but the beep sound requires me to render the clip first. It has never happened before. Want to know how to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Ying, please check your sequence settings and compare it to your previous settings that resulted in no render "beeping.".

Pasting Clips into Timeline. Overwrite to Destination Tracks

When I paste clips into the middle of the timeline they seldom overwrite to the tracks I've selected. Why is that? They usually overwrite to video 1 and audio 1 & 2. So to get around it I have to go thru the tedious process of moving the playhead to the end of the tracks and insert there then move inserted clip down to where I want it. Sometimes I even have to unlink the audio to prevent those tracks from overwriting the wrong tracks and then re-link after placing.
I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking here...
Thanks!

I suspect what is happening is you haven't moved the video destination button to the correct track. if you look at the panel to the left of the timeline you will see a pair of buttons labelled v1 and V1 that are attached to each other. The leftmost of that pair (v1 - note the lower case v) is the one that sets the destination track for video you add to the timeline. Click & drag it up to V2 and new clips you add will be placed on V2 and not V1. You can also shortcut this by pressing F6 and the number of the track you want to be the destination track.
There are companion audio destination buttons for your audio tracks, so you may need to move them to A3/A4 when you move the video destination button to V2

How do i move a clip on timeline a frame at a time

Hi
I have cs6.
I am having problems moving clips slightly on the timeline, ie frame by frame, when i try to move I dont get the fine control, it jumps a second.
How do I get fine control?
Also, with cs5.5 I could zoom in/out of the timeline, using the 'mountains' to drazg right left etc. I dont have this on CS6 ?? any ideas
Many thanks
Chris Anderson

If your mouse is over the zoom/scroller bar (in the timeline or below any of the monitors):
it will zoom in and out just by rolling the wheel
SHIFT + wheel makes it zoom faster
ALT + wheel makes it pan
ALT + SHIFT + wheel = pan faster

Inserting Clip Art In A Pages 09 Document

How do you insert clip art in to a Pages 09 document? I am new to iWork after using Appleworks for many years. I have many CDs of Nova Art Explosion Clip Art that I want to use in my documents. I can not seem to find any information on how to insert clip art. All help greatly appreciated.

John,
Just to let you know Pages does not use .wmf and .pict is mostly history now.
*The main formats that Pages will use are:*
.jpeg, jpeg2000, .tif, .png, .gif, .pdf and .ai saved with .pdf preview.
Of the *Nova Art Explosion Clip Art* the most useful will be the vector .eps files which Pages will convert to .pdf when imported.
*Best is to open and convert the .eps clipart in Preview*
Which does several things:
1. It converts them to .pdf
2. It converts them to color managed cmyk
3. It shrinks the image selection to the image's bounding box ie gets rid of all the background and only selects the image.
4. As long as there is no opaque background drawn as part of the clipart, you will have a transparent background.
5. It will save the file as a very small .pdf file
6. The pdf file will be viewable in Finder on the *Icon Preview* or in CoverFlow, also when you view it in your *Open dialog box*.
*There are 4 ways to import the clipart*
1. Drag and drop it into Pages from Finder.
If you drop it into text it will become an inline graphic and act as it it was a character in the text, moving with the text.
If you drop it on a non-text area it will create its own image box and fill it.
If you drag it onto an image placeholder box it will either neatly fit into the image box or be cropped, however the box has been set-up.
2. You can use +Menu > Import > Choose… > browse to image > select > OK+ This will drop the image into the middle of your page view at its original size in its own image box.
3. You can make a collection of clipart in a named folder then drag that folder into the top pane of the Media Browser:
+Menu > View > Show Media Browser > Photos+
When you click on the folder in the Media Browser the contents will be displayed in the preview window underneath from where they can be dragged into the Pages layout or onto image boxes.
4. Pages has something called Shapes which you can add by going to the Shapes menu on the window Toolbar. These are native Pages drawings. They can be scaled, colored and contain text or images which are cropped by the shape.
Right at the bottom of the Shapes menu is a pen tool which lets you draw your own shapes, however it is one of the worst drawing tools I have encountered on the Mac.
Shapes can be imported from .svg files. .svg is an open vector or vector + bitmap file format readable directly in most *Web Browsers*. Unfortunately they are not directly supported in Pages, but they can be imported using svg2key into Keynote as shapes, from where they can be cut and pasted into Pages.
OmniGraffle has sets of clipart called Stencils, these can be cut and pasted into Keynote and possibly into Pages, but requires you to have a copy of OmniGraffle on your machine.
A great deal of commercial and free clipart is available on the Net, much of it substantially better than the crude, cheap looking Nova material which was mostly "sourced" from PC clipart nad has that sort of style and color palette.
ClipArt can be very good and can be very bad, make sure you select the appropriate style and format for your work. You can scour through the Nova collection for the few good examples and make your own selection converted to useful formats such as .pdf and keep them in labelled folders which you can then select from previews using large *Icon View* or CoverFlow in Finder.
You can also copy and paste clipart from AppleWorks.
