Starting to Edit - Unrendered?

I've just finished digitizing and we're starting to edit. We've dragged our clips to the sequence timeline but, upon playback, it won't show the sequence. Instead, it only shows "unrendered."
Do we have to render all of the clips before seeing them. Or is there something we forgot to do in order to see the clips as drag them to our timeline?
Thanks for your help. As you can see, we're new at this.

You have to match the setting of the timeline to the format that you are trying to playback. This is a pretty basic thing, if you look at the initial set-up pages in the manual it will walk you through this.

When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.

Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips

I have downloaded Premium Elements 7 and installed same. I have taken a small series of 12 clips to try the software, into "new project (all 12 clips).
I then took the clips into the editing mode, but after dragging the 3 clips the programme crashed.
This has happened several times. Each time a menu pops up and says "Adobe has stopped working. A problem has caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available. CLOSE."
I have Vista Home Premium, using a 2GB dual core intel with 160 GB harddrive. Can some one tell me what is wrong please

Dear Steve,
Thanks for the prompt response. I am having major problems. As you suggested I activated quicktime and then updated this. Then my problems got worse as I was unable to find the clips which were originally stored in Adobe photoshop so could not obtain them. I decided to uninstall PREMIUM ELEMENTS and re-download after restarting my PC. Unfortunately it will not install. it aborts part way throughthe installation
Install shows, C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\ then Next, then Install, which I click on.
Part way through this install procedure a menu appears
Menu Error 1311. Source file not found and C:\User\Admin\App Data\Local\Temp\wzde 24\data1.cab. Verify that file exists and that you can access it. Retry and cancel
Checking through the files the last one is wzde 24 but no data1.cab file.
So what else am I not doing or doing wrong.
Thanks for your assistance

Subject: Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips
1) What are you using for source files? Photo? Video? If video, what type of camcorder did the video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
2) How much free, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
3) Is your operating system up to date? (Manually going to Windows Update and adding the hidden or custom updates) Do you have the latest version of Quicktime -- which is critical for running this program with any stability (per the FAQs to the right of this forum)? This is particularly important when running Vista.

Adobe Photoshop Starter Album Edition 3.0 unlock code

Can someone please advise how to get an unlock code? I received the software with a camera I purchased. I completed the registration form that opens with the software (numerous times). I click submit, it sends the registration, tells me I will receive an email with the code, and an email never comes. I have checked the junk folder.
Thank you.

Hi,
My unlock code for Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 is not working. The "Unlock Now" Function is not acessable. The administrator states there should be no reason why I cannot register this product.

Starting digital edition 2.1

Hi,
I've a problem.
After installation successfully the program doesn't start.
I get the error-message:
"loking for online - help" or "close starting"
What must I do, to open it successfully?
Thx to the comm. for helping me.

One possible reason for the problem is that ADE2 versions are a load of untested rubbish.
Try using v1.7.2 instead and see if it helps.
~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Is FCE4 a good starter video editing program or should I save up for FCS2??

I'm considering FCS2 down the road but didn't know if FCE4 would be a good start to get into digital editing. I wonder if I would quickly get frustrated with the limitations. I'm running a 2GHz intel core duo w/ 2Gb of RAM. Would FCS2 even run on my system? Thanks for your help.

If you think you are beyond iMovie, then FCE4 is your next step up. It has significantly more capabilities than iMovie, and it has a comparatively higher learning curve, so be prepared for that. The rewards, however, are that you have much greater creative control over your projects.
You did not say what level of experience you have or what kind of video editing you want to do. FCE was designed for working with DV, HDV and AVCHD media; but the interface and all the basic editing features are identical in FCE4 and FCS2, so by learning FCE4 you would be on the right path to 'step up' to FCS sometime in the future.
What 'limitations' do you think you will be frustrated by? For people 'starting out' it's hard to imagine what limitations FCE4 would present ...

How do I make ACR 4.6 start saving edits to PSDs again?

When I develop an image in ACR 4.6 and save it to a psd, the psd looks like the original dng, not the processed image -- no edits are saved even though I use Save Image or Open Image. It's been working fine for years. I have the same versions of dng converter and ACR on my Macbook Pro, and it still works fine. When I did a reinstall, it worked for about one or two files, and then broke again. I'm running os 10.4.11 on G5, PS 10.0.1, ACR 4.1.0.30, Bridge 2.1.1.9, DNG Converter 6.3.0.79. One clue might be that if I try to access Bridge's Preferences, Bridge always crashes instantly. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
You're absolutely right, it should show as 4.6, and it does. My error. The initial inquiry should have read, 4.6.0.30 (and yes, that was the last version for PS 10.0.1).
However, you have helped me solve my problem. I changed the ACR Preferences to, "Apply sharpening: to all images" instead of "Apply sharpening: Preview images only". I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it must have been the default each time I reloaded 4.6. Or perhaps I changed that without remembering, preventing the developed ACR version being applied to the psd.
I have no idea why Bridge Prefs crash as soon as I select them in the menu. Camera Raw Prefs accessed from Bridge don't crash when selected. I'll try to figure that out separately.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

Dropped frames during playback. Dumb question but I'm just starting to edit again with a new comp. and FC 7

Hello out there,
It's been three years since I've used Final Cut Pro and I"m just getting back in to it. I'm working on my first project editing footage from my Canon 5D markII.
I'm trying to do a simple cross fade on the video track but when I watch the playback I'm getting a dropped frame message. I am using the highest video quality on my cannon but it seems like my computer with a 3.4 Ghz prossesor and 32 gigs of ram should be able to handle a simple cross fade.
Could it be that I need to change a setting somewhere to make FCP handle my canon's video better?
Thank you so much!
I appreciate the help.
Mike

Please tell me you converted this footage...the native H.264 format the camera shoots...to ProRes. Because FCP doesn't work with H.264 well at all.
I have a workflow for this and other tapeless cameras here:

After the installation of CC 2014, I can't start an editing of an image into Ps from Lightroom.

When I choose Edit into ... Photoshop CC 2014, Ps is launched but nothing happens.
I just can launch an edit as advanced object and in this case the image appears into Ps.
Any suggestions ?

Uninstall and reinstall PS CC 2014. This fixes things for most people with this problem and there are many.

Excited to start editing and figuring out my hardware

I'm getting started with editing after spending many years, if not decades interested in it. I have a new (thanks to xmas and my wife) laptop 10.5.8, 2.8 ghz intel core duo. My daughter is also sending me her old tower 10.4.9, dual 2ghz G5. It has Final cut studio 5.0
Should I install final cut pro 5.0 on the laptop or am I okay using the tower? I want to edit video from my sony digital handycam trv27 and from my daughter's trv330 and make dvds. Nice looking dvds. Not home movie looking. The hardest part of this new adventure seems to be figuring out how the software and hardware best fit together. Can't wait to get to the fun part of actually editing. I hope an expert here might be able to give me some advice.

Congratulations on getting started.
A couple of points...
1. v5.0 will not run on an intel machine. To run FCP on the laptop, you'll need to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3 (which includes FCP7)
2. Your daughter must send all disks, manuals and other documentation with the machine or you do not have a valid Final Cut Pro license. Possession of an installed version does not constitute ownership and, without all that stuff, you are not running legal software and are not eligible to upgrade.
3. The G5 will be perfectly fine for editing DV.
4. Read the manuals, read through articles at Ken Stone's website, do the tutorials a Lyndia.com if you like tutorials to learn. FCP is a deep, complex and frustrating program - made even more so when you have no conceptual basis to understand what's going on. The sooner you get a solid grounding within the program and with video in general, your editing life will be much smoother.
5.If you come to this forum (or almost any other), recognize you are very unlikely to be the first person to ever have your specific question/issue. The search function - on this forum in particular and Google in general, will be your best friend. Use it as your FIRST step in solving your issue and you'll find a great deal of wisdom all ready laid out for you.
6. Remember it's supposed to be fun.
Good luck,

How toTransfer photos from Photoshop Starter 3.2 edition to Photoshop Family

I have been using Photoshop Album Starter trial Edition 3.2 for a few years, then recently I have been getting an Adobe registering form pop up which i completed so I could unlock and access my photos. An email was sent only to say that the version Photoshop Starter 3.2 was no long in use and that I should try the Photoshop Family edition.
My problem now is how do I check and then copy/transfer all my pictures from one version to another.
Can someone enlighten me as we are trying to retrieve the photos of our 1st children 1st year.

Hi Bill, after a long rest I'm having another go! I first want to say thank you for your 2010 explanation about audio tracks (mono and stereo and so I understand the odd behaviour now!)I also much appreciate your non judgmental attitude with your help. (If we were all very smart we would not need such forum! But I understand some of us can be rather frustrating to others!) I hope it won't be too big a sin to ask here (the lounge) why my time line exported as a media that ends up an Avi file will not play the video part on MS Windows Player but is ok when re imported in PP(cs4). I tried to ask the question in different ways to the community but it returns nothing. It's not a big deal but would be better if it did play. Thanks again MM

MP4 imported is cropping too tightly before I ever start editing

last weekend, I took a video with my Motorola Droid Razr MAXX and transferred it to my Win 7 PC. The file runs fine on both my phone and in mp4 format on my computer, but I wanted to use Premiere Pro 5.0 to do some subtitling.
I've had no problems in the past importing video from my webcam or from DVD, but as soon as I imported it into Premiere Pro 5.0 , It's doing odd cropping before I ever start editing. I'm getting everyone's chest and hips and losing their heads and feet. What am I setting up wrong that it would crop like this before I ever start to edit?
I fully admit that I don't know WHAT to pick on that first screen that pops up asking what kind of format I want to use, so it's quite possible that I'm just picking the wrong one there (it defaults to DV-NTSC Widescreen 32 KHz). I've tried a couple of the options under DV-NTSC (whatever that stands for) but they all seem to do this cropping. There are so many options on that first panel that I'd just be guessing...and this might not even be the problem.
In case a picture is worth a thousand words, I've put a screen print of my Premiere screen at www.improventures.com/temp/temp.htm where it's easier to read than below .
Thanks! Milo

Wanting to make sure I followed that. #22 said, "open file into quicktime, goto save as, save as refrence video. Done"
Are you saying I should open the original mp4 file in Quicktime and save it as a "reference file" before importing to Premiere?
If so, two problems with this:
1) The mp4 video plays poorly in Quicktime to begin with. It looks choppy, like a Charlie Chaplin film. Guessing that outputting from that would be poor as well.
2) The "Save As" option seems to be a function of the Pro version that I don't have.
I can understand how the phone version could be a problem if the mp4 it produced didn't play so nicely in Adobe Media player.
Seems strange that that should work but that importing it into another Adobe product is so clunky.
Last night, i stayed up late and found a way to move the audio track separately from the video. (hold the Alt key and drag the sound line).
My hope was that I could align it manually and be done with this.
No such luck. I found a place in the middle of the video where one of the actors clearly says a line and lined up the sound perfectly with it.
This left the beginning of the video lagging behind the sound, made the middle perfect, and by the end the sound was lagging behind the video!
Can't imagine how that's even possible!
Could mp4 just not be a good format to input from? I could use a conversion tool like Freemake Video Converter in advance to change it to something else if mp4 isn't the best choice for inputting this.
Thanks so much for your help John!!!! ;-)

JTable starts editing when F3 is pressed - howto disable?

Hi,
I would like to add some shortcuts to my application (F3, F4, F5, ...), however when the JTable has focus and JTable's cursor is on a editable cell, it starts the editing process.
Is there a way to tell the JTable to "ignore" some keys?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

It behaves differently because it tries to pass key strokes to the editor and overrides processKeyBinding to that end. Try:
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.util.EventObject;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class TestJTable {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JTable table = new JTable(new DefaultTableModel(1, 1)) {
                    @Override
                    public boolean editCellAt(int row, int column, EventObject e) {
                        if (e instanceof KeyEvent) {
                            int code = ((KeyEvent) e).getKeyCode();
                            int start = KeyEvent.VK_F1;
                            int end = KeyEvent.VK_F21;
                            if (code != KeyEvent.VK_F2
                                    && code >= start && code <= end) {
                                return false;
                        return super.editCellAt(row, column, e);
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table));
                frame.pack();
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
}Actually JTable does check if the key press triggers an action, but that means it only works if you install the key binding on the table input map with WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT.

JTree: Cell Editor takes few click to start editing

I have a JTree and have set the user defined renender and cell editor.
However, user has to click continuously for some time to start the editing operation. How can I start the edit operation immediately after one click only.
TIA
Sachin

((DefaultCellEditor)myTable.getCellEditor()).setClickCountToStart(1);
Remember that a click is a mouse press and release without moving the mouse.
