Problems cutting a sequence into another sequence

Hello,
We have followed the steps outlined here: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Edit from sequences loaded into the Source monitor to cut a sequence into another sequence without it nesting. We are on Premiere Pro 2014.1. We often need to work in the same episode but want to combine the work at some point so we need to be able to mark in and out points on a sequence in the source monitor and cut that into a pre existing sequence on the timeline. We have turned off the 'nest' button in the upper left hand corner of the time line but it randomly works. Sometimes it nests, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it just crashes.
We have tried very short sequences and have better luck with them, but we need to be able to cut in more than two minutes of material at a time. Cut and paste also doesn't work. This is a huge inconvenience in our editing pipeline and very frustrating since both Final Cut and Avid do it easily. Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Great.

I just created a test sequence with an hour of multiple clips and was easily able to cut sections of that into a another sequence. The feature is functioning perfectly and as expected for me. I tested on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5, 2.7 GHz i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA 650M.
You may want to conduct standard troubleshooting procedures, including trashing preferences, media cache, preview files, repairing permissions, checking permissions on all Adobe preference folders, and if none of those things work, reinstalling.
Thanks,
Kevin

Error message when cutting a sequence into a sequence

When we try to cut a sequence into another sequence, we either get a nested sequence (the nest tool is turned off) or we crash with this error message:
We are in Premiere Pro 2014.2 with our media on a server. I moved the entire project to my local drive and tried it that way but had the exact same result.
I switched the General Settings and changed the Mercury Playback Engine to software only. It did not help. I have no unlicensed plug ins and cleared my media cache.
I've spoken to the Adobe help line (!argh!) but he was unable to fix the issue. He did delete all of my settings I was starting at the defaults. This did not help either.
Has anyone any experience with the above error message?
Thanks.

Yes.
I see now that I can paste into the layer I am copying from, but not into any other layer. If I lock my source layer, I can't paste at all.

Import a sequence into another, only the video imports

When I import a sequence into another, only the video imports now

Um ... a few more details, please? OS, program version (specific!), and footage type with sequence settings at a minimum ...

Copy sequence markers into another sequence

Anyone willing to bite?
I'd like to copy some sequence markers (which all have unique text) from one sequence into another.
I'm assuming this would be a scripting thing or a fancy xml trick.
Am I wrong? Is this too complicated to be worthwhile?
thanks,
jack

In case you not just want a copy of the sequence with the marker, here the "fancy XML trick":
Export your source sequence and the destination sequence as XML.
Open them in TextEdit (as UTF8). Scroll down to the end of the text files.
You'll see the end of the last marker of the source sequence as "</marker>", select this line with double-click and shift-click the beginning of the line of the first marker "<marker"> - you'll have to scroll up normally a while.
Copy and paste into the destination sequence before the end line of the sequence "</sequence>. Save and re-import into FCP.

Why can't see the timeline audio waveform on sequences inside another sequence in Premiere Pro CS6? Can I fix this?

Does anyone know why I can't see the timeline audio waveform on sequences inside another sequence in Premiere Pro CS6? Can I fix this?

PERFECT!!! THANK YOU, Ann!!!

Generating a new sequence using another sequence

Hi All,
I wish to generate a new sequence file from some external text file/XML file/seq file itself.... can I possibly do it???

I have created a TestStand sequence that creates another sequence and inserts and configures a Message popup step. Its not complete, but it does run (as long as you dont have a sequence of similar name loaded).
The sequence is saved as "C:\temp\Steves.seq"
My sequence makes calls to the TestStand API from within TestStand using the Automation Adapter but you can make similar calls from all of the other enviroments listed in the Adapters drop down.
Its really to give you a feel for the sort of things you need to do to create a sequence on the fly. NI should be able to give you some quality examples.
Regards
Steve

Problems cutting and pasting into illustrator 4 after upgrading to MAC OS 10.6.44

Hi-
I've been using my copy of CS4 illustrator without a problem until I recently upgraded to a macbookpro running OS10.6.4
When I copy items, any item into illustrator it puts a large black box around where the text is.
When I open up old documents I created on illustrator I can copy and past those text items without a problem. here is an example of what Illustrator is doing to my pastes:
heres what it is supposed to look like:
Here is what the paste looks like in illustrator now: I can't figure out how to fix this. Any suggestions? This is really putting a damper on my publication process.

If you have AppleCare, you should have a simplified Tech Tool Pro CD already. It is not part of Mac OS X. Tech Tool Pro is a third party utility package that helps diagnose and repair some problems that might occur with a Mac. Just Google for "Tech Tool Pro" (including the double quotes) and you will find tons of information on it. If you don't have Tech Tool Pro, its available for purchase at any store that sells Mac software.

How can i unload a sequence from another sequence

Hello,
i have a sequence which is running in a loop. At a specified point the sequence executes an ActiveX-call an runs "Test UUTs" with a sequence-name that is passed with a variable.
When "TestUUT" is running then first the SequenceFileLoad of the new sequence is executed and after that the Mainsequence. Thats all good up to here.
But the next time when i call the execute "Test UUTs" then the file is already in loaded and no SequenceFileLoad is running.
So my question is: What do i have to call/run that the loaded sequence is leaving the memory with SequenceFileUnload and the next time when i run "TestUUTs" is completely new loaded?
Thx for your help
Attached a screenshot of how i execute the "TestUUTs"

The thing is, i only want to execute the SequenceFileUnload when i have a new sequence name in the variable of "Execute Test UUTs".
If the sequence is loaded and executed again, then i dont want to run SequenceFileLoad again.
Thats why i want to execute an "unload"-thing somehow.
It looks like this:
string seqname= sequence1
call execute "Test UUTs" (seqname)
SequenceFileLoad(sequence1)
execute(seqname)
call execute "Test UUTs" (seqname)
//no SequenceFileLoad because its already loaded
execute(seqname)
call execute "Test UUTs" (seqname)
//no SequenceFileLoad because its already loaded
execute(seqname)
string seqname= sequence2
SequenceFileUNLoad(sequence1)
SequenceFileLoad(sequence2)
execute(seqname)
call execute "Test UUTs" (seqname)
//no SequenceFileLoad because its already loaded
execute(seqname)

Problem loading one SWF into another in Flash AS3

I am trying to load an SWF file in another SWF file. The child SWF file works fine when run standalone like if I set visibility of an item to true or false, it works fine. But when the SWF is loaded into a parent SWF, I am not able to execute such commands, neither I get any errors...

are both swfs as3 swfs?
is the code in the loaded swf and is that code referencing objects in the loaded swf?

Nesting into different sequence settings

Howdy, I have an assumption I would like to check.
I have a final sequence edited in NTSC DV.
I want to avoid DV recompression on the way to Compressor and DVD, so I am moving it to an 8-bit sequence.
In the past I have done this by copying all the contents to the new sequence.
But it occurs to me that it might be the same result if I nest the DV sequence in the 8-bit sequence instead.
Is it the same... i.e. no rendered DV recompressions will make it through the DV sequence either way?
Reasons to bother: want to avoid confusion with any further fixups, and I want to apply BS and audio compression to the nest anyway.
Thanks.

As far as I know, only markers in the sequence time ruler and cuts in the sequence you encode will make it through as compression/edit/cut markers/in Compressor. So if you edit one sequence into another, you'll have to get the markers into the "container" sequence. You can do this by nesting all the clips within the original sequence, or by duplicating the sequence and editing the original into it.
Some potential advantages to not nesting in this way:
Compressor will put an I-frame at each cut in your sequence, whereas nesting them will only allow Compressor to put extra I-frames on chapter or compression markers you have added.
By placing a broadcast safe filter on the entire nested sequence, you are possibly clamping down on the luma and saturation on clips that don't need it, but more importantly, you are forcing FCP to process that filter even for the 80-90% of frames in your sequence which would be unaffected by it, greatly increasing your render/encode times.
I usually wind up cusotmizing a BS filter and saving it in the favorites bin, same with audio compression, and then quickly adding it to individual clips or groups by dragging from the favorites, or by pasitng attributes.

PP CC - can I change a normal sequence into a multicam sequence?

I have made a sequence with 4 videos along with audio and they are now hand sync'd together.
I would like to change this sequence into a multicam sequence. Can this be done in CC without losing the work already done to the videos?
All I can find about multicam cam in PP CC, is you have to start with all the footage selected and then choose to create new multicam sequence. Should you not be able to change your mind and be allowed to change an already created normal sequence into a multicam sequence?
Sorry but just used to CS6. Hope I don't have to start over again.
Cheers

Nest that first sequence into another, then right click and Enable Multicam.
This is the original (and in my view still the better) way to create multicam sequences. The Help file should have this as the very first listing, with the new 'auto' methods coming after. (Kevin?)

I am unable to copy and paste a photo into another event;

and if I duplicate the picture in one event, and then highlight one,; cut and paste into another it moves both pictures into the other event even though only one was selected. Any advice please?

This has been reported before.

Problem with compressing 16:9 sequence into mpeg-1

Hello,
I am having a problem compressing from Final Cut via Compressor into an Mpeg-1 file. I shot (and edited) in 16:9 but the Mpeg-1 files keep turning out squeezed up in 4:3. I can't find any settings in Compressor to change, and I've looked in the Compressor manual but can't find any help there either. The dimensions are greyed out in the Inspector.
I have only a limited grasp of Compressor so if anyone has the patience to explain how to fix this in words of one syllable I would be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again,
Sorry for the long pause.
I found a way round this problem initially by copying my sequences into a new FCP 4:3 project and they automatically became letterboxed, however there was a loss of quality so I would like to try this again. Where I got up to was, when I went into the Inspector window and clicked on the Filters tab, there's nothing in there to select. There's a video tab saying 'check the box to add a Filter', but then nothing there to check - just an empty table headed 'Name'.
Any advice on getting the filters to show up?
Many thanks for all your help.

Audio "sub-clips" won't play in source monitor, but will play when cut into a sequence.

I'm cutting an "audio only" project in Premiere and I came across a strange problem while making sub-clips. The first 6 sub clips made from the same master audio clip were normal, but then something changed, and the rest of them won't play any sound while in the "Source" window, even though while in the window the sub-clip displays a waveform.
Once edited into a sequence they play normally, but not being able to listen to the sub clips in the source monitor is annoying, and louses up my whole editing routine for this kind of project.
Any ideas as to why this is happening, or what I might do to fix it?

Number of issues here:
1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

Copy part of a sequence from one project into another?

I want to bring a sequence from none project into another. Do I need to import the files into the bin in new project? Or is there a shorter way?
(This was what I was trying to do in my last post when it all went south. I'll post it there too)

I have brought an old sequence from a FCE project into FCP, and then copied them into a new( final) sequence, and there's a problem. Some--but not all--of the video files are very wide. Can I correct or do I need to re-import the original files fron the Hard drive?
By the way, you've pulled my fat out of the fire a few times. Thanks.
Sean
