"Sort by" options in media pane

Unless I've missed it, in Premiere Elements 10 there's no longer an option to sort media by oldest or newest.  Instead there's a "Sort by" button with options to sort by duration or name.  Why not also have the option to sort by oldest or newest?  I edit lots of videos that will have about 150 clips imported from DV tape using the get media option in Pe10.  This method names the files in the format "name_xx" where "xx"  increments to 99 then starts with 3 digits.  When the only options are to sort by name or duration it's not possible to list the files in the correct order which makes grabbing the clips in order much more difficult.  How about a patch to put this back?
On a related subject - I also miss the option to filter by tag from the media pane although it's possible to do the same thing with Organizer.

Did it work in previous versions ? I don't recall seeing it in PRE7 or PRE9.
There is an older discussion in these forums about PRE changing the date/time stamp on files. The difficulty is that there is no META data in video clips, unlike stills where there is tons of stuff. So the only date available is the standard date/time feature of Windows. And these Date/Time stamps change as the file is accessed.
Now sometimes the software provided by the camcorder manufacturer does show shot date/time. I think they do this by creating a separate datafile recording the date/time stamp on the clip as it is imported from the camera, and so is always available within that software, but unavailable when viewed in other software.
As Steve says - raise a feature request. I did some months back and hope that we see it in a future PRE release. Note that in the feature request dropdown it is under 'Adobe Premiere Elements', unlike Photoshop Elements (where it is shown as 'Photoshop Elements').
Cheers,
Neale

  • Keynote Media Pane Not Responding

    1. I am using Keynote 2.0.2 When I click Media toolbar button I get media pane. But it stops responding. I cannot select Music or Photo options. It gets stuck on Movie. I cannot cancel media pane after this.
    I have some iMovie movie projects and I have deleted all clips from these folders -- Is it making Keynote not to respond?
    2. How do I use music for slide Transitions?

    with regards to your first point, have you had any joy in resolving this?
    I have similar problems with both the iWorks programmes - have been in touch with apple care and was told to remove prefernece files (which didnt work) and also they got me to archive and reinstall tiger (which has simply resulted in me loosing lots of font files and still not resolved the problem).
    infact ignore this message - i have just moved a few gigs worth of movie files (from movie files folder) to another location on my hard drive, and now the media pane works perfectly fine!

  • Static image looks fine in media pane but renders with problems

    I have a project in which I am placing a few static JPGs over the video portion for a few seconds at a time here and there to illustrate certain things a speaker is touching on. The JPGs are usually not quite big enough to cover the entire frame of the media pane, so I end up having to resize them and make them bigger to either cover the rest of the video that’s still showing, or to effectively ‘crop out’ a portion of the JPG that I don’t want to see in the final output.
    Everything looks fine in the media pane. The problem arises when I output the final video to FLV. Some of the JPGs look fine – just as they did in the media pane preview. But a lot of them end up showing portions that I had cropped out, or even portions of the video that I know were covered up. It appears completely random. And when I re-export and try again, sometimes the problem disappears.
    Windows XP SP3
    Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0
    Export format: FLV

    One JPG sample is 960x720 pixels.
    The Project Preset Frame Size is 1280x720 pixels.
    For this particular sample, I stretch the JPG so that the text at the bottom of it falls below the media pane (since both the JPG and the project have the same pixel height). It becomes a little more pixelated, but that's fine. Sometimes it does get cropped out of the final FLV, sometimes it doesn't...

  • Sort Order option disabled when using OBIEE analysis?

    Hi everyone
    I've build a BIP report using the online layout editor.  My data model is based on an existing OBIEE analysis. When I go into the data model and go into the properties of a column, the Sort Order option is somehow defaulted to "No Ordering" and the dropdown menu is actually disabled, so I can't change anything.  Is this normal/expected functionality or am I missing something somewhere?
    Thanks

    I don't think it is possible. Here are the sort statements in this program.
    <u>Without Serialization</u>
    sort t_idoc_control_r
      by sndprn sndprt sndpfc mestyp
         mescod mesfct test serial.
    <u>With Serialization</u>
    sort t_idoc_control_s
      by sndprt sndprn obj_type chnum chcou.
    In neither of them, the document number is used. There is no guarantee that they will be processed in the document number order, even if serialization is used.

  • Imported Photo's from media pane within iMovie no longer centered?

    Hi, I am using iMovie 6.0.3 to build a slideshow within iMovie. I am using the media pane within iMovie to access and import my photos from iPhoto. The photos are of various sizes, they have been cropped in iPhoto and work well as a slideshow in iPhoto. When i import them into iMovie the photos are no longer centered.... they are oriented to the left and up with asymetrical letterboxing and cut off heads. I need to bring in over 400 photo's and dont want to have to go and recenter/crop each photo from within iMove..... shouldn't they remain centered when i bring them in?
    Thanks
    Chuck

    Welcome to the forum, Chuck.
    It sounds like the Ken Burns Effect may need to be re-centered. By default, Ken Burns centers the image. But if Ken Burns has been set to crop a photo off-center, that's how future photos will arrive.
    To re-center the start/end positions, turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox. Stop the preview. Click on the Start side of the Start/End thingy. Drag the Zoom slider—the top slider—a bit to the right, then all the way to the left. Repeat for the End side of the thingy. Now Import the image. New imports should now arrive centered, as you wish.

  • In idvd 6.0.1 how do I delete/remove files/folders from the media pane?

    for some reason some of the folders in my photos media pane are now empty? how do I get rid of those folders?

    iDVD is a tool for creating videoDVDs from some media (stills, video, music)
    it is NOT the Finder, which is the Mac's "app" to handle files&folders
    and it is NOT the "creator" of stills (iPhoto), videos (iMovie) or music (iTunes)

  • Sort Icon/option in ALV tree repot using classes and methods

    Hi all,
    I have done an alv tree report using the class cl_gui_alv_tree

  • ITunes 12 - Sort Show Option Missing

    Upgraded to iTunes 12 and when accessing a song under 'Sorting' the 'Sort Show' option is not listed.  But the 'Sort Show' option is available in the column browser.  I use 'Sort Show' to categorize songs into Smart Playlists.  How can I get this option 'back' for sorting songs in iTunes 12? 

    Had the same problem with the Mac but shift didn't work for me, it was "option/alt" while using File or right-click > Get Info. Thanks for the tip.
    I hope that menu doesn't go away. I have a few songbooks labeled "audiobook" that I don't want to label "music". It looks neater to keep it as a songbook; audiobook in this case. This way when I shuffle music, the songbook doesn't get in the way, and I can still shuffle the songbook in the audiobook section when I want to.

  • Cannot add Movie to Media Pane

    I edited a project with Chapter markers in Final Cut Pro X and exported it to a .mov file on my external drive. I added the folder to the media movie pane however the movie does not show up in the movie media pane.

    Hi
    Not familiar with - FinalCut Pro-X - but the rest of them up to FCE 4.0.1 and FCP 6.0.6.
    I added the folder to the media movie . . . . . . .
    So this is bit of a mystery to me as I do in FinalCut
    • Export as a QuickTime .mov file (NO QuickTime conversion AT ALL)
    • this .mov file I drop into the iDVD Menu Pane and move it to a good location then rename it HERE to what's relevant
    I too had a movie that did not work today
    - going back to FinalCut and - Sequence - Render Only -> Mix-down Audio
    - then Render All - Both
    - Export as QT.movie again
    THEN
    - Starting a BRAND NEW iDVD Project (IMPORTANT - as it hinders the iDVD BUG especially bad when Chapters are used)
    - and now the QT.movies needed was added nicely
    Hopefully it makes any sense to You or others who knows FCP-X will fill in.

  • Unable to import MP3 from Media pane.

    When I drag an MP3 from the Media pane, a window indicates importing the file. After the import, I do not see the MP3 file. It just disappears. When I import the sound effects, they work fine. Any suggestions?
    --twelvedangs.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    you're sure it is mp3? or is mp3 just your generic word for "music file" - iM doesn't accept every of the zillions of flavors of music-compressors flying through the net (e.g. ogg)
    did you create it by importing an audioCD with iTunes?
    or is it "some" import from "somewhere"?
    can you play the mp3 by selecting in the media-bin and hitting "play"?
    are you able to open and play mp3 with QTplayer?
    probably needs some kind of conversion......

  • IDVD Media Pane "Pain"

    The media pane in both iDVD and iWEB will not show any media I created on my computer with iMovieHD. I CAN import the videos directly through the iDVD Menu (FILE) by exploring the hardrive for the video and selecting it accordingly though.
    However, I feel I am "missing out" on the media pane features of being able to see my media in one place in the program. Someone suggested I import the iMoviehd projects into iMovie08 and then share them. This worked but it is extremely time-consuming and almost not worth it.
    Has anyone else noticed this problem? P.S., I have dragged the folder containing my iMoviehd movies to the media pane. The folder appears, but not movies.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Put whatever files you are planning to use in idvd onto your desktop, then drag and drop into your various menus. This workaround works for me and others consistently. Hope this helps!

  • Deleting albums for the media pane

    Is there a way to delete an photo album for the media pane in idvd.
    The delete key doesn't work (it alway's makes a sound but doesn't delete the album).
    I hope that someone can help me solve this problem.

    The media pane in iDVD is reading what you have in iPhoto; it's about integration of iLife apps.
    If you need to delete some album, delete it from iPhoto.

  • Adding a 'sort by' option to table data in webhelp output

    RH8 HTML
    Hi all,
    Just wondering (again) if its possible to add a sort feature to a table?
    currently, I've got multiple topics that look like the following. They are a breakdown of all fields/buttons and their functions
    field name
    description
    example
    customer id
    description of field
    example data to be entered
    name
    description of field
    example data to be entered
    customer order no
    description of field
    example data to be entered
    job title
    description of field
    example data to be entered
    this is the order that the fields appear on the user form, I'm wondering if I could add a 'Sort By A-Z' and 'Sort by Appearance' options so the user can view the fields, descriptions, and examples either by the order it appears, or in alphabetical order - all the while the description and example fields moving with the sort.
    Just gives a bit more functionality for users so they can find a field quickly if the list is a bit bigger by using an alpha sort
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    Normally, the browser shows a pointer over a hyperlink. You might have the script set up slightly different than Peter.
    A quick fix is as following:
    Identify the element you want to see a pointer, probably something like TableHeading. In your css, add:
    P.TableHeading
    Be carefull with this, it may confuse people if they see a mouse cursor they don't expect. Your best bet is still to figure out if you have set the script up exactly as described on Peter's page.

  • Unable to access options in Preference panes

    In the General tab of the Security & Privacy pane I am unable to open any of the options after unlocking.

    Try deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If tthe same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
