Saving Clips to the Project Panel

When I was working on a video on another machine, I was able to dragon clips from a sequence into the project panel, allowing me to save subclips for later use. But now that doesn't seem to work. I get a little + below my mouse, but it doesn't add the clip.
I am using the trial version. Is this feature not available to me?

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,

Can you 'favourite' clips, and have an option to show which clips in the project panel are currently in a sequence?

Anyone any ideas on the above questions?

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!

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

Ok, the project panel does not work anymore!!!!

I'm using flash cs5.5 and today I opened my project to start working... just to find out that the project panel does not work. When I click the tab to expand it, flash hangs for a minute and then it works, but the panel is blank, empty. The odd thing, I saved the project as CS5 version to open it in the CS5 Flash, but CS5 it's broken too.
I tried opening Flash (both versions) without loading any project and the tab does not work either.
Anyone has an idea on this?
Thanks!

Ok, I think I get what the problem is... When I make right click over the PROJECT panel, it displays the flash player popup menu, so I guess it's made with flash/air. What I think is that my flash player is somehow screwed, so it don't displays the project panel contents and won't let me export my FLA files correctly. And it happens in both CS5 and CS5.5 versions.
Maybe a clean reinstall of both should solve the issue... I reinstalled the CS5.5 two times, and didn't solve the problem, neither uninstalling/installing the flash player plugin for all browsers.
kglad:
I only see the tab, when I try to display the panel contents, FLASH hangs like for a minute, then it responds but the panel is blank... no menus, options, nothing.

Change the default arrangement of tabs in the Project Panel

With every new project, I'm having to manually re-arrange the tabs in the Project panel to suit my workflow. Specifically, I'd like to permanenly change the tab order so that the "Good" tab is listed first, followed by Video Duration..etc.
Can this be done ?

The Project Panel's Metadata Display dialog allows you to select which metadata properties are displayed as columns. You can save multiple Metadata Display profiles. Note, however, that these saved settings define only which columns are displayed.
The order of the columns is saved as part of the workspace. To save a custom workspace, set up all the panels, columns, etc. just the way you like, then go Window>Workspace>NewWorkspace.
With any workspace, if you change things around and want to get back to the saved settings, go Windows>Workspace>ResetCurrentWorkspace.
By the way, a minor point of terminology, in PPRO parlance "tab" usually refers to the top of the panel that you click to switch among panels in a frame. What you're asking about is columns. One reason that it's worth calling out this distinction is that workspaces save both the tab organization and the column organization.

Updating the Project Panel in PPro CS6 is horrendously slow! (But nothing else is affected)

Anytime I make a change to the project panel whether it's moving a clip to a folder, adding a description, or anything.... it freezes up for around 20 seconds before it does anything?! All other performance of PPro CS6 is fine - Timeline, Source and Program monitors, Effects window - none of these are slow, only in the project panel do I have an issue...
Does anyone know what may be causing this?
Thanks all!

I am updated to CS6.0.5
I have it in list view
I just tested it and it only seems to happen with this project
I have an NVidia GeForce 8800GT driver version 314.07
I haven't changed anything with my disk setup or my computer - I have 4 HDD's one is my system HDD, one has my Footage and Projects, one has all the preview/render files (Scratch disk), and the last one has archives of older Footage and projects
This problem affects everything in the project panel, no specific filetypes or anything.
There are quite a few clips in this project - over 400 clips - would that be causing this?
I am doing behind the scenes for a film and I keep adding to this project...
Thanks guys!

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/organizing-assets-project-panel.html

If you have opened a 5.5 project in CS6 you may experience the project panel search filter to go gray and restrict availability.
Try to save and restart.
If this doesn't work, then try to start a new PProCS6 project and import the 5.5 one, be sure to select "Entire Project" at the dialog box.
Other people have noticed this too. It might be related to unindexed items - if Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't finish indexing the clips, it won't let you search. This is something that may require a bug report. See the link below.

Tab between custom meta columns in the project panel

If you've got a custom meta column in the project panel and you use are editing the previous column and then use the keyboard tab key to move to the next column (the custom meta field), that column is selected but not you can't edit it with out clicking in it with the mouse. This is not the case with built in meta columns such as the "comment" field.
Does anyone know of any way to tab into a custom meta field and then have a further keyboard shortcut that puts the field into edit mode?

Ok, found the answer already. Tab and then tab a second time.
Obviously this seems wrong and would be better if the first tab allowed you to edit immediately.
UPDATE: Spoke too soon. This is definitely a buggy mess. Sometime tabbing into a custom field makes it editable immediately. Other times, a second tab makes the field editable, sometime the second tab just moves you to the next field. And there seems to be no pattern, I can tab and shift-tab back and forth between custom fields and the behave seems to change at random. I'll log it as another custom meta bug!

Is it possible to duplicate an item in the project panel with scripts?

Hey all, I'm trying to make a script that will duplicate an item in the project panel. I know you can duplicate an item in a comp, but I'd like to duplicate a project Item...app.project.item(2).duplicate();
Something like that, is it possible with some other coding to do that?
Thanks

Dave, I'm trying to duplicate in a script running inside AE. I guess I could try to do a system command to duplicate, but I'd really like to do it inside AE so I can keep track of the new layer.

Imported analog video successfully and it is normal in the "Event" pane but when I move a clip into the "Project" pane, it enlarges it slightly and distorts it. How can I keep that from happening?

Different Image Count between a Project in the Project Panel & Browser

Howdy,
While in Aperture, after selecting several Master images from a Project using the Browser I deleted them to the Finder's Trash (Master & associated Versions) and emptied the Trash. The image count in the Browser updates but not in the Project Panel.
I verified that the images have indeed been deleted and were gone by inspecting the Aperture Package Contents and looking inside the specific .approject
I have not rebuilt the Library.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen or knows of a solution to update the image count in the Project Panel?
Many thanks.
love & peace,

I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Customizing the Project panel

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html

Honestly, you did not get my point.
What I am saying is, that the icon view has no rational order of files. Why is that?
At least there should be a way to figure out, even if it is not possble to alter the sort criteria, in which order the files are listed in icon view.
If I serach for a spezific file, sure I can use list mode, but what about "there were a couple of frames with that car, and it was shot after file X … a just let me fastly scrub trough the footage in that brandnew icon view … wait … where is … aehm .. ok, I scrub trough every file."
Do not get me wrong, I love the new icon view possibilities so much, that I want to actually use them.
Please just fix it Adobe, or tell me how to decrypt the sort mechanism.

How should an editor use this view seriously?
Honestly, to sort manually. If you want an auto sort, use List view.

Sequence In-Out Duration in the Project Panel?

Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, and wanting to view duration of in-out selections of multiple sequences in the Project panel before batch exporting via AME. The media duration display only shows full sequence length. Anybody have any ideas on how to view in-out duration in the project panel (I'm aware the duration shows up in the Program panel when a sequence is active).

searching for metadata fields, it seems to have no in/out duration. so might have to request for adobe to add it. Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
i did notice that if i load the sequence from the project bin into the source monitor, then change the in and out points to match the same as in the timeline, it will change the "video duration" metadata column to reflect the in/out duration. its also possible just to change the "video in point" and "video out point" metadata values in the project bin to get the matching video duration, bypassing the need to load the sequence into the source monitor. i also noticed when i export the sequence it will use the in/out on the timeline not the source monitor. this workaround adds extra steps, especially if changing the in/out points often.
