Selection tool automatically becomes rolling edit tool when trimming

I did something and I'm not sure what. But my selection tool has changed. Now when I try to alter the length of a clip in a timeline, it automatically switches to the rolling edit tool with the 2 arrows on either side of a line. If I try to just grab the end of a clip it also drags the end of the clip beside it as well. It affects inserts and almost anything I do. I can't figure out how to return my selection tool to normal.
Please help.

Hi grolando,
If you inspect your Preferences under "Trim," deselect the following option.
That should do it for you.
Thanks,

ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

Good Day -
I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful. So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
Thank-you!

First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

A-b roll editing

hi again
does anyone out there know anyway to make a-b roll editing easy. when I was doing linear editing my a-deck and my b-deck was linked electronically. I've been doing the same thing with imovie by seperating one audio track to work off of and deleting the other audio tracks as I put the two separate angles of video together. I'ts time consuming and basically requires simple math but...time is money.
thanks, frank

Frank,
Simply stated, Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead will replace footage in your timeline with the footage you are pasting. The pasted clip replaces an equal duration of clip in the timeline.
You can also use a setting in iMovie>Preferences to tell iMove to automatically extract the audio before it does the past over. Useful for cutting away to some "B-Roll" while preserving your original audio should you wish to use it.

Why, when selecting the options box in the tools tab, does the whole page become unusable???? I cannot set my homepage at all.... very annoying..

On Saturday I upgraded to version 10 beta, after installing the version, the options box in the Tools tab will not function. When selected the screen is "blocked out" and the only way forward is to Ctrl+Alt+Del to reset the browser.
I have tried several times to re install but the settings are dragged into the new version. If this keeps on happening I will revert to the original browser.

Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

.Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

Hi,
   I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great. I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush. It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable. I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me. The mouse works perfectly fine.
I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Ed

I solved my own issue. I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
Step 1:
Walcom Tablet Properties
Step 2:
Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
Step 3:
To this
Step 4:
Click OK.
After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop. I hope this can help others.

After I upgraded my Mac with Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 12 stops responding when you use editing tools like eraser, clone stamp.

When i click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every time. Now i am not able to use my edit tool. Why is this happening?

I cannot edit any of my photos in iPhoto. When I click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every single time in my iMac toolbar. I cannot edit, crop or make changes to my photos. Is anything corrupt in my computer? Thanks in advance..

Check the Preferences settings in iPhoto. You may have set iDVD as external editor.
Set "Preferences > Advanced > Edit Photos" to "In iPhoto".

Camera RAW start with the crop tool automatically selected?

Is it possible to enable camera RAW to start with the crop tool automatically selected?

As far aas I know you can't.
But you could ask in the Camera Raw forum – they know these things!

In C3 Ripple Edit tool doesn't delete frames when using a Dissolve

In Premire Pro C3 when I use the Ripple Edit tool to delete frames between two scenes in the Time Line, it looks like the frames have been deleted when previewing or playing the edit. However, if you then place a Cross Disolve Video Transition over the edit and then play the result, you can clearly see all of the frames you deleted playing under the disolve. What's up? How do you get the Ripple Edit to really take or is this a software bug?

You are running up against a lack of Handles in your Clip. See this ARTICLE for more details and background on Handles. Just reset your In & Out Points for the Clips in question, to create more Frames for Handles.
Good luck,

Hotmail: my password is listed in the tools box, but is not entered when logging on so I have to type it in every time. all other passwords are automatically entered. why not hotmail?

Windows Live Hotmail: every time I log on to this site for my emails, I have to manually type in my password, instead of Firefox automatically doing it.The tools box for saved passwords shows the right password in the list of saved passwords, so why is this particular password not entered automatically? All other saved passwords are entered automatically in the appropriate website logins. Puzzling!

Are you referring to the SAME computer/login?
If not, he likely has auto-complete (or similar) enabled and you probably do not.

PSE9 crashes when using editing tools

After over 10 hours on the phone with
Adobe support and spending $200
+ for Ram and processor upgrades
they still can not find the reason PSE9 crash every time i use editing tools. Most often the Auto red eye and spot healing tool, but it will crash in organizer also.

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Try now and let me know your comments.
Also would be good if you can share your system info from Help->System Info in PSE.
Thanks,
Garry

Acrobat 9 Pro Portfolio Editing Tools Disappeared?

Hello, I created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro. I saved the file. When I reopen the file, all of my editing tools which are usually in a menu bar on the top of the document, are no longer available to me, ie. the "form", "multi-media" tabs. There is only one tool menu with a "modifiy" tab, which I set to "edit", but the only tools that become available to me are the "edit portfolio tools" that show up on the right hand side of the screen. How do I get back to a point where I can edit this document and add multi-media files?
I attached a pic of what the program looks like now, without the tools I need.
Please help
Robyn

What you are seeing is correct. The tools you are looking for (form, multi-media, etc) are all PDF document editing tools. However, a portfolio file isn't actually a document. It's a collection of files pulled together in a sort of a PDF wrapper.
The official definition from the help documentation:
A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in different formats and created in different applications. For example, suppose you have a project that includes text documents, email messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. You could combine all of these documents into a PDF Portfolio. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. Users can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
You can add multi-media files to the portfolio a number of ways, most commonly this is done via drag/drop, clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the portfolio window when it's in edit mode (what you have pictured), or selecting those same options (add files, add existing folder) from the modify menu in the portfolio toolbar.
