Rearranging elements in the Program window?

1. Are there keyboard shortcuts for this? In Photoshop, when you select an element or a layer, you can use the arrow keys to move it. I remember being able to do this in really old versions of Premiere, but I don't remember how.
2. Is there a way to keep elements inline when rearranging? In Photoshop, you can hold the shift key and when you drag a layer, it will stay on an even axis (horizontal, vertical, 45-degree angle).

Assuming you're referring to multiple video elements in the scene, which can be manipulated using the mouse directly in the Program Monitor, I'm not aware of any Photoshop-like functionality.  The closest you might come is to adjust only the x or y axis in the Effects Controls Panel.

  • Nothing plays in the Program window.

    Hello,
    I'm a new user to Premiere Pro and I recently downloaded it and started working on it. I'm using Mac OSX 10.8.5
    I was working on a project that someone had given to me, I opened it and everything was working fine and then inexplicably nothing would play in the program window. When I scrub the playhead I can hear the audio and the sequence progresses in the Program window, but when I press play it does absolutely nothing, it doesn't even play a single frame. All clips still play just fine in the source window.
    While I am admittedly a novice on Premiere Pro this strikes me as a very peculiar problem as it seemed to happen out of nowhere, one moment it was working, the next it wasn't.
    I've tried restarting, saving the project in a different location, logging in with a different user and always with the same result, the sequence just won't play.
    Can anyone suggest a solution?
    Thanks.

    Hi Arjun,
    When I right click on a clip and and create a new sequence it works fine.
    So I tried creating a new sequence, and then copied and pasted everything from the sequence that wasn't playing into the new one and it plays now though playback is not very smooth, other than that it's working fine.
    Jude - it was the entire sequence that wouldn't play, not just one video track.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to Zoom and Pan in the program window.

    Hi,
    I have been using scale to adjust larger than 4K image sequences so they fit 1080 and 4K output. I want to be able to zoom in and pan/tilt the program window so I can see the edges of the program window close up, so I can see to make a fine adjustment of scale. I want to be able to adjust scale precisely so I don't lose a single pixel, or include any black around the edges of the images. Of course I can't see the edges close up enough while looking at the entire image, to really see if I have scaled too much or too little. I know how to zoom in the program window, but how do I pan over to the side and bottom edges ? Without being able to pan I instantly lose the edges of the frame when I zoom in the program window.

    Perhaps this will help it make sense to you.
    I am taking tme lapse sequences shot on a DSLR and putting them onto Blu Ray disks for viewing. I also outputted a 4K file to try to play at Best Buy on a 4K television. The images are  4928 X 3280 pixels, which is larger than 4K, and much larger than 1080. One of the advantages of using these large images directly and not reducing them in Photoshop first is that I can have a time lapse zoom, which is very difficult to achieve otherwise. I can also pan and tilt. Another advantage is not having to reduce thousands of images three times, once for 1080, once for 4K, and once for stills..
    I usually work with 1080 video, and animated 1080 still sequences from Maya, or standard definition video. This is the my first opportunity to work with higher resolutions.
    Generally, for my first evaluation of these DSLR stills, i wanted to show some of them fully without cutting any off. This means there is a black border onthe sides because the DSLR stills are 2:3 instead of 9:16. For this I have used a scale of 32.6% for 1080, and 66% for 4K. For some sequences i wanted to just completely fill the frame. For this I used 38.9% for 1080, and 77.9% for 4K.
    My assumption is that Premier should do scaling as well as Photoshop does, and so  I have let Premier do the work, saving me a lot of extra work. First i take all the original images and process them from raw to tiff, for the day exposures. Then i process them again for the night exposures. Then i bring them into either my 1080 project, or my 4K project. I put the night pictures above the day pictures on a separate video track. I use opacity to dissolve from the day to night processed images as night falls inthe scene.
    Two sequences I shot are of the night sky during the recent meteor shower. After watchign the video I see i caught three instances of persistent meteor trails distorting in the sky. I was able to zoom in quite a bit, and track the position, because the sequence is of greater resolution than the native 1080 format. It gives me a second change at composition, or the ability to zoom in on something interesting that happens in the scene.
    It seems to me that the only reason i would want to first process the images down to 1080 in Photoshp, would be if the quality of the scaling was higher in Photoshop.
    When i adjust the scale, I am adjusting the scale of an image that is 4928 X 3280, in the program monitor which is probably only well less than 1000 pixels on my screen. It would be nice if I could not only zoom, but pan in the program window, so I could more accurately adjust scale by looking at the edges. So if there is no other way to do this visually, I am suggesting adding the ability to pan and tilt in the program monitor to accomplish this. Sure I could figure out the scale mathematically. I could still end up adding a row of black pixels, or cutting off a row of image pixels, due to some error such as rounding errors, or starting with 1 instead of zero, or vice versa.

  • Can't work out how to get timeline footage to play full size in the Program Window...

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. The footage I import plays fine in the Source Window, but is at a more reduced, "boxed-in" size in the Program Window when I put it onto the timeline.
    I know that i can stretch the image to fit the frame, but I'm worried about losing quality if I do that.. The Zoom Level is set to "Fit", so I'm not completely sure what else to do... Any help would be much appreciated...

    Hi Bill, thanks for the welcome! 
    The Frame Size of my original Source Footage is 720 X 404
    I've set my Project Preset to DV-PAL - Widescreen 48kHZ, which upon inspection, is 720 X 576, so I'm guessing that's what the problem is..?
    I've tried going into Custom Settings to change the Frame Size, but the boxes are "greyed out", not allowing me to change them..
    Any ideas on how to best move forward? Cheers.

  • Trying to register my copy of Elements 13, the program won't let me enter the code.

    I purchased a copy of Elements 13 from amazon.ca and, when I try to activate the program, I get to the place where I'm to enter the code but the page won't let me enter the code.
    The code includes letters and numbers but the page only allows me to enter the numbers.
    What do I do?

    I dug all over the surfaces I could find and nothing... finally, I decided to cut the tapes at the bottom of the retail box... just a 'what the heck... this is stupid' kind of move and................. there it was on the bottom/hold the discs in place rectangle thing...
    Whoever thought of something like that?

  • Mountain Lion opens the programs/windows after restart - sometimes

    Hi
    On ML exists the feature, to re-open all windows after reboot (in the Shutdown-window after pressing the Power-Button.) This option is always disabled.
    But sometimes ML simply starts all the apps and show all the windows, which are opened before shutdown/restart. But: sometimes only - the most time it will work.
    Can someone confirm this?
    Thanks

    How do you disable this annoying "feature".  I don't to wait for all the programs from last use to re open and then have to close them all after I turn on my computer if I'm just there to use one program and get something done !!

  • Is there a way to put the taskbar into the program window like in Windows XP?

    Migrating from Windows XP to Mac OS X 10.8.2.  The taskbar at the top of the page (not referring to the icons on the right) is unwieldy for my purposes.  It'd be better to have it in the individual program (e.g. Word, Excel) window at the top of the page.  Is there any way to do this such as 3rd party software?
    Thanks.

    No. The Mac OS puts the app's menubar at the screen's top. There aren't any taskbars in this operating world. Since you're new to Macs, see these:

  • CS4 hangs in the timeline and the program window

    This is going to be a difficult post since I'm not sure how to articulate the problem.
    To begin - I have been using Premier for many years, so I don't believe my difficulties are the result of being a newbie.
    I installed CS4 a few months ago, but have been heavily involved with project using CS3 and therefore have not fired up CS4 until recently. The problem is that after placing my clips on the timeline I can scrub and play them. Once I begin to make edits however, I scrub along the timeline and nothing happens - I don't see any visual changes in the monitor.
    If I wait a while then the functionality comes back (but only for a few moments) and then everything freezes again.
    This is really frustrating. So much so that I have gone back to usign CS3 since it actually works.
    I don't know how to fix this problem, nor do I know if others have the same problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Some troubleshooting tips.
    Cheers

  • Snap videos to the edges of the program window's black area?

    Just a heads up, I don't know all the correct terminology. Sorry if there's any confusion.
    Say I have 4 clips and I wanted to have them all playing simultaneously. One in each of the 4 corners.
    But it's difficult to drag them perfectly in place. You'd have to define numerical their positions...which is annoying.
    Like in photoshop, if you tried to do this with 4 pictures, you'd just make sure snap-to is turned on and drag to the approximate area.
    Is there any way to do ^^^ in premiere? Thanks~

    Premiere had its origins in being an NLE ...and compositing was the realms of AEFX
    The lines has blurred a little but even then...compositing uses and requires the precison of sub pixel placement for positioning.
    Snapping is kind of coarse but no reason why it would not work for some "things".
    Corners and centres are absolutes and if used with simple maths..pretty easy to use for locating and positioning.
    Part  of the fun,

  • The title does not show up in the Program Sequence window in PP CC

    I am trying to add a simple title in one of the clips of a video that I am editing. I can see the title in the title window with the clip in the background but when I play the video the playback doesn't show the title but the clip.
    How can I can I solve this problem? I am using a trial version of PP CC.
    Thanks

    I looked at the video. I did exactly the same thing. What do you mean by "poke out the eyeball on that track"? Do you refer to the little icon on the top right corner of the title window that has an eye?
    I have just done the following test: I created a colored background (green) and dragged that on the video track above my project then I added the title above this colored background on a third video track. Now the title shows up in the program window but the background is black not green. So it looks like that the title does not have a transparent background.

  • Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

    I have Win7 Pro X64 with  Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
    When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out... 
    I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
    I've cleaned the cache
    What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
    Thanks all for any help!
    Aza

    It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
    ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

  • Program window is slightly zoomed in versus the source window

    Hello, I've used final cut for years and have switched over to premiere, I have cs5.5.  My question is:  I have imported the .mov file and viewed it in the source window, it looks great, when I put that into the timeline, double click it into the program window, the entire image is zoomed in a little, cutting off parts of the edges and the top and bottom, I exported the file thinking it would revert back to the original, but it's still zoomed in.  Is there settings that can match the source to the program?  What am I doing?  Thanks so much, Newbie

    Well, the Source Monitor shows the file, in a player, from the HDD. The Program Monitor shows the Timeline, and the Clips on it, for editing. They are different.
    Good luck,

  • Make marker overlays bigger in the program

    Hi, I am using a lot of markers in sequences and I like to navigate through them. Is there a way to make the marker identification that is at the bottom of the program window bigger?
    Right now The marker name is so tiny it's hard to read. Plus, it's black on a red background and becomes unreadable depending on the still image that is under.
    Thanks

    If you need to increase or decrease the size of fonts and other elements in the user interface and web pages then increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
    In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
    If the content on websites needs to be adjusted after changing prefs then you can look at NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level.

  • 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?
