Shortcut: Toggling between Program monitor & timeline?

Can anyone please rell me whether there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle/switch between the program monitor window and the timeline in CS4. An internet search suggests that it is Crtl + Tab, but that's not working on my laptop.
Premiere provides Shift + 3 as a timeline toggle, but that is designed to cycle through available timelines, rather than switch between windows.
There doesn't seem to be an option to create a custom shortcut.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the reply.
I already use Shift +3 but I was really looking to toggle between the two - such as Ctrl + Tab (which doesn't seem to work!)

Type tool loses focus when toggling between programs. New feature or bug?

In Photoshop versions previous to CC, I could be typing with the type tool, then toggle to another program (or the web) to copy text, and return to Photoshop to paste. This is now gone, as once I toggle away, it saves the state of the text. Rather annoying, as I used to use the capability to paste bits of text.
A change that I believe coincided with this is the fact that text in the type tool is now saved when hitting the escape key. I also used to use this to try out different versions of copy, then hit Esc to undo the changes, whereas now, it saves it regardless.
Both of these seem like bugs to me. Can anyone tell me the story behind these?

I just tried with Photoshop CC 2014.1. Here's what I did:
1. Select the T tool.
2. Type in some text.
3. Alt-Tab to another window (this browser window, specifically).
4. Selected and copied some text with Control-C.
5. Alt-Tab back to Photoshop.
6. Control-V to paste.
The text went in where I had left off typing. I tested this with Photoshop CS6 just now as well and saw no difference. I can't hazard a guess why that wouldn't work for you. I'm on Win 8.1.
You're right, pressing Escape does preserve the typed text now, which is different than in Photoshop CS6. Like you, I'd expect that to abort the text entry.

Simple-how can I toggle between screens

Ok...this is really simple, or it should be. Can I change a preference anywhere on my Mac to where I can not only toggle between programs with the "apple key + tab" shortcut, but toggle between open windows within a program?
For example, if i have iTunes open and Safari open I can toggle (switch screens/windows) between the two with the "apple key + tab" command but I cannot toggle between screens WITHIN a program. If I have Word open and I am working on two documents and I want to go from the forward window that I am working in to the window behind it I have to manually, with the mouse point and click on the window at the back.
Is there a preference I can change somewhere on my Mac or no? I've looked but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Who says it's undocumented? It is documented several places. In Mac Help, search for "Keyboard shortcuts"; select "Full keyboard navigation" or "Shortcuts for windows" -- this is documented both places and probably others as well.
Also, in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can change shortcuts, or disable them, or just see what they are currently set to.

Program monitor changes size when Motion controls change. Turn this off please?

Hi. I'm running Premiere Pro CC on a fairly new (~6 mo old) iMac with 16 GB ram, SSD, Mavericks, the works. Everything's been great so far.
However, I'm having an issue whenever I use the Motion Effect Controls in the Program monitor/timeline. Any time I change a position or scale, the program monitor jumps from 16:9 to 4:3, and doesn't display any type of screen safe, so I have no idea where I'm actually placing/moving the item. This is a real bother, and it never was an issue before. Can I turn this off? Please help!

I've never seen anything like that. I don't know how you'd even make it start!

I'd like to toggle between the source and timeline and bypass the program tab - what is this called in the shortcut tab?

When editing, I have to press my shortcut twice to get back to the source window as it goes via the program monitor first. Is there an assignable shortcut just between the timeline and source? If so, what is it called?

If so many people have the same question and concern about this, why is it consistently ignored? I've seen countless posts like this that are told to ignore the logs or to only dump when asked to. How can those of us that have these questions get an answer? Can I im someone who can help me or are they being ignored because it it evidence that our devices have been jailbroken without our knowledge?
If you can point me in the direction of someone who is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to toggle between open sequences? Keyboard Shortcut?

So I usually work form one sequence of selects, and then take pieces of those selects on the source monitor side and edit them into the edit sequence on the program monitor side.
1. Is there a way to toggle between the two?
2. Is there a way to toggle between sequences that are open?
Although it is really nice now you can load sequences into the source monitor it would be nice to toggle to that sequence to actaully see the clips in the source monitor sequence, not just have the visuals.
On a basic level I'd like to know if there is a way to toggle between open sequences that way i can select in and outs lift and undo (which copies to clipboard) and then toggle to the second sequence i have and paste it in the correct place.

Short answer: Yes. Try Shift+3. It's the default Shortcut for "Timelines".

Timeline edits not displaying in Program Monitor

My issue is when trimming a clip in my sequence timeline, I'm no longer seeing the clip displayed in the Program Monitor as I attempt to edit either by keyboard shortcut or with the move Tool. (it remains black throughout)
Is there a simple setting I changed that disabled this? I've tried resetting the workspace to default, but I'm unable to view clips I'm trimming in any monitor in realtime, only after making changes.
Also - When I scrub through the clips will play, just not when trimming.
Does anyone know the solution to this please?

There's no user adjustment for this, it normally just happens.

Without Mouse: Toggle between selected timeline video clips- Keyboard Only Method

Simple Question, but can't able to find the answer on internet.
How do I select the timeline video clip without clicking on it with mouse help?
All I want to do is, select the video with keyboard only. And switch the cam layer on cut. In other words toggle the selected clip on cut points, with keyboard only.
Thank you all
Max

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "the timeline video clip" but here are a few keyboard shortcuts that may help: the q key toggles between the Timeline and the Viewer windows; if the Timeline window is active, the up arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the previous edit; the down arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the next edit.

Sluggish timeline and glitching/freezing program monitor in Premiere Pro CC 8.1

Hi all,
I've recently switched from CS6 to the 2014 Adobe CC due to a student license expiring. I'm also somewhat new to r3d workflow so chances are I may be doing something wrong.
I've worked on one other project with a mix of r3d and DSLR footage in CS6, but this is my first time cutting with red footage in Premiere CC.
*Apologies in advance for the novel, but I figured I'd be as thorough as possible to hopefully help get this issue resolved for myself any anyone else who's experiencing this.*
I'm cutting a 9:30 "party mix" in a music video style edit. So far I've had several (seemingly random) issues and glitches, that have been making my life exceptionally difficult and this 10/30 deadline exceptionally scary.
I'm working with content that we captured using exclusively RED Epic Dragon, and Epic Mysterium cameras. We recorded with several different frame rates, with varying resolution, compression, and aspect ratios. Project was set in-camera to 23.976.
Issue #1
I've created a nearly two hour, organized roll of sub-clip selects in a RED R3D 2K 23.976 16x9 timeline, in which i'll use to browse my raw media when sequencing on a timeline stacked directly below.
Often times when pulling clips from one timeline down to the other, the over-all responsiveness of the program will become ultra sluggish. Causing a clip (that's being dragged/placed) to lag heavily, maybe a couple seconds behind my cursor. This issue will often resolve itself after maybe 5 minutes or so, but makes fluid sequencing rather difficult.
Issue #2
The other issue I'm having is a glitchy or completely unresponsive program monitor. Again this issue appears to be totally random, and seems to happen most when I'm deep into some really intense sequencing/ clip arrangement, and scrubbing quickly.
Usually a portion of a single clip (or sometimes a couple clips) will freeze up in the program monitor while I'm scrubbing over them on the timeline. This will sometimes cause them to freeze all together during playback as well as cause surrounding clips to lag a bit (maybe 4-8fps).
I'll scrub back over the problem area and sometimes get a solid green bar halfway through my image, usually right before the program monitor just reads solid black throughout the entire timeline. This issue is temporarily resolved by restarting the program (about every 15-30 minutes).
Issue #3
As I'm scrubbing I'll also experience heavy glitching with both my image and the program monitor GUI itself. However, this issue typically wont affect playback.
I've uploaded a quick camera-phone video of this issue as it's a little tough to describe Program monitor glitch - YouTube
I know the timeline is un-rendered in this sample, (but this issue happens either way).
Two painstaking weeks later, I've finally completed the first pass.
Working on revisions now, and ultimately I'd like to copy paste the sequence into a 4K timeline for before After Effects work and export.
I tried pulling it into a 4K timeline (with playback set to 1/8 res) and the issues stated above got 10x worse.
Sticking to the 2K timeline for now (with playback at 1/4 res)
P.S. I'm also cutting a much simpler corporate project with 5DMKIII footage and having no real issues.
As for my rig,
I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
Thanks for reading!
-Sam

So it seems to be behaving slightly better in "Software Only"
Though slightly less frequently, I'm still running into the issues stated above, mostly issue #2.
I also have a new problem to add to this thread as I'm starting to pull clips into After Effects.
First being that (again, seemingly random) dynamic-linked clips decide not to show up on the timeline in AE, and then seem to vanish from the program monitor in Premiere as well.
As you can see in the screenshots attached- After Effects see's the media itself from which the clip came from, however it won't show up in the monitor.
I'm also having issues where I'll render the Premiere project with the dynamic linked clips that DO work, and then as soon as I restart the program, those previews are gone and I have to re-render the the AE Linked comps.

Cc 7.2.1 lags on timeline and program monitor, and drop frames.

Hello guys i have cc 7.2.1, and every basic operation i do on the timeline , moving clips, trimiming, scrubing on the timeline everything lags, its not fluid. When i do a simple scrubring on the timeline, the CTI takes sometime to get to the position i selected to do the playback.
But the worst part is the trimming or moving clips, it takes ages before i get an image on the program monitor. If i move a clip into a middle of 2 clips it takes ages to see those two little privews images with timecode, to see where to put it. So is very hard to edit like this.
Another odd thing is when in redering mode i select to use sofware only i dont have drop frames, when i chose cuda i have drop frames!!
I´m editing h254 from a 5d and 7d on externa llaccie usb 3 , have the a macbookpro 16g i7, iris pro and nvidia 750m, and a external samsung, via DVI.
Anny sugestions?
thank you.

Thanks for the Tips.
One thing that i discoverd was, when software only is enabled i can't edit. Everything as that lag i reported above, but i have no drop frames with external monitor.
Now comes the funny part, when i enable CUDA for my Nvidia gt 750m, i can edit !!! everything becomes almost normal, image on program monitor comes quick, and i can do trims. BUT i have drop frames on external monitor!!!!! so therefore i cant have a proper edit enviroment.
The only solution is to edit without an external monitor with cuda enabled, that way i dont have drop frames. I guess this is a syntom, that something is not working well on CC 7.2.1.
Thank you all.

Toggling Between Open Emails -- Keyboard Shortcut

Sometimes I have several emails open at once. The only way I know how to switch between them is to go to the dropdown Window menu. This is a little cumbersome. Is there a keyboard shortcut for toggling between open email windows?
And while I'm at it, is there one for toggling between open Safari windows? I love the Command-TAB way of switching between applications and am looking for something similar.
Thanks.
Paul S.

The question is marked as answered, but I don't think it was the answer you wanted. I often have several emails open and want to toggle through them without leaving the keyboard. The Exposé method works, but is not a keyboard shortcut.
Here is how I got it to work:
In System Prefs under Keyboard and Mouse under Keyboard Shortcuts make sure Keyboard Navigation is checked and under that check "Move focus to next window in active application" and then "Command+ tilde" will work!

CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

Now what is this?
It all works fine until you try DV Output.
In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
1. output disabled on external monitor
2. some crazy flickering happens
3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
Same happens when switching back to timeline.
Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films. I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software. It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here. The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
The problem is likely this...
1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here. It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
I hope this helps.
