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!

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.

Using ms project 2007 and vba macro to list all the custom fields used in the project?

Hi,Using ms project 2007 vba macro, I would like to be able to list all the custom fields used in the project and their corresponding field names. e.g. let us say I create a calculated duration field and name it "expected duration" and the name
of the field I select is Duration1.
I am trying to write a macro that will list all the used custom fields such as the result would look like:
Duration1 ---> "expected duration"
Text1 ---> "anything"
Flag1 ---> "....."
Number1 ---> "..............."
Can anyone provide me with the solution?
Regards,
Chuck

John,
I found this module, which provides the the list of custom fields used in the project but does not provide the name given to the field. Here below is the module and hope you could help me achieve this by modifying the macro to list the renamed field.
' MSP Checks all Custom Task Fields
Sub checkfields2()
'This macro will check and report out which custom task fields are used
'It requires Project 2002 and above as it relies on the GetField
'and FieldNameToFieldConstant methods which were not introduced until
'2002.
'It does not include resource fields, however it is a simple matter to
'do it by replacing the pjTask constant with pjResource.

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.

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,

How to add a Description Column in the Content Panel (Bridge CS5)

Hi,
Is it possible to add a Description Column in the Content Panel. If so, how?
I'm talking about the Description from the IPTC Core data and I'm using Bridge CS5.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

This is the screenshot of the Metadata Workspace with the Content Panel (not Metadata Panel). As you can see it shows Name, Label, Keywords etc. but it's not possible to show Description in that list as a column.
I still agree that it would be a big bonus if you could alter this workspace with description field (even with more lines etc) but what Curt shows you might be an alternative. I couldn't help noticing that you have not created your own custom workspaces.
Try and play with this. You have the option to divide the window in 3 columns max but you can create different panels as a row in 1 column.
Grabbing a tab and move it to a new location until a single blue line appears (between the borders, a bit tricky). A vertical blue line means as a column and a horizontal line means a row. A surrounding blue line means same panel but adding as a tab. You can rearrange the tabs by dragging to left or right. under the menu window you can select which panels are visible or use right mouse click menu on top of a panel to choose.
Sadly enough only 3 columns and only one panel of it's kind per workspace, but you can resize the panels also to your own workflow needs.
In Bridge preferences you can change the colors for background in the general tab and in the metadata tab you can select what info to view in certain sections. Personally I have set my IPTC to view only description, keywords, date created and a few other subjects.
That is the nice thing about Bridge, creating custom workspaces, save them and being able to recreate them without problems :-)
I attach some screenshot of my daily workflow (with the luxury of having a 30' screen) but there are plenty of other options possible, don't forget to name and save your workspace.

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.

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.

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,
Hunt

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.

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!

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Organizing assets in the Project panel

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.

How can I reorder the columns in the Files panel in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

I just upgraded to Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, and I want to change the order of the columns in the Files panel. But I can't figure out how to do this. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

<I want to change the order of the columns in the Files panel>
You can change the sorting order by file name (ascending or descending), size, type, or date modified by clicking those labels on top of Files Panel.

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?

If you click on the text it will bring the playhead to that position.

Is there a way to drag video only from the Project Panel ??

As the questions states.
Can you do this from the Project Panel similar to how you can in the preview Panel ??

If you deactivate your source patching on your timeline for all audio tracks (the square patch on the left of the that says A1,A2, etc) It should let you drag in only the video portion of the footage. Just tested it and it works.
