Thumbnails in project panel

Hello,
The thumbnails in the list view of the project panel are so small that I need a magnifying glass to see the picture.
In the setup I have already selected the large icon.
To see something, this thumbnail has to be minimum twice the size of the large icon.
How can I change this thumbnail to a larger size than this small "large icon" ?
I turned the thumbnail viewer of due to the same reason. It occupies space on the screen and you do not see anything on it because it is so small.

Hubert,
The size of the thumbs will be dependent on your monitor's rez. Here, we get into a situation like found on too many Web sites. If one's monitor is set to higher-rez, the images can be quite small.
As has been suggested, you might use two monitors, with one's rez set lower. I did this for quite awhile in Photoshop, to see some of the "fine print." Now, with 2 - 21" CRTs (same as in older versions of Adobe), but with a major upgrade in my vid card, I run them both at the same rez (1280x1024, though the card and monitors will go beyond that), and with new reading glasses [Grin], I can see everything nicely.
In your feature req., suggest one, or two, larger sizes, above what APP now allows. I have no idea what that would take, from a programming standpoint, but with higher-rez cards/monitors, I'm sure that the bigger thumbs will come into play more often.

  • No thumbnails in Project panel

    I have thumbnails turned on but nothing appears in the project panel next to the name of the file or in the preview window.

    Be sure thumbnails are turned on in the the flyout menu.

  • 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,

  • Feature Request:  Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

    It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request.  I've wanted to see this one for a while.  If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
    System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
    Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse.  I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
    I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation.  A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
    Moust Back Button = "BACK"
    ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
    UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
    UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
    ENTER opens a folder.
    ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
    ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
    F2 Renames a folder
    ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
    ESC cancels the renaming operation.
    Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context.  (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor.  ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor.  ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
    These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers.  When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect.  It's muscle memory, if not intuitive.  I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence).  And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
    Preference:
    checkbox:  Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
    checkbox:  Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
    The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
    The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin.  Of course that doesn't work.  And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too.  I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER.  Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should. 
    I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr.  However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Multiple Project Panels-why??

    I'm on Mac. For some reason, Premiere has this habit of randomly duplicating the Project Panel/Palette. So when I have a project open, I can sometimes have 3 or 4 of the same Project panel open. Even on a brand new Project. Is this intentional? I usually just go and close all but one. Can't understand why this would be a feature. 
    Happy to be enlightened on this.

    They're all 'Project: Job name'
    It is weird.

  • Project panels tabs randomly change on launch

    I recently started noticing that my project tabs are getting all jumbled up when I reopen projects. Here's an example:
    This is how my tabs look when I close my project:
    ...and here's how they look when I reopen it:
    Notice how the tabs have changed completely – some tabs open at the root level, others in specific folders and some tabs changed their view from list to grid. This has to be a bug since it only started happening about 2 weeks ago. I already put in a bug report with Adobe but until they get around to fixing it, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Sounds like the same issue discussed here: Project panels tabs get reset to root level at project launch!
    You'll find a proposed workaround there.

  • Where are my elements in Project panel ?

    I'm working on a (first) project since a few weeks, and suddently discover that most of the elements (shots, audio, still pics, bins) that were captured or imported in the project panel are no longer there...
    However, as long as I don't need them, everything that was brought to the timeline still appear correctly in the sequence (including trimmed shots from those disappeared in the project panel).
    I have spent hours capturing from the tape (camera) and was expecting at the end to find a way to back up everything on (probably multiple) DVDs.
    My question is twofold:
    1) How come all these disappeared from the panel ? Is this ... "normal"?
    2) While I can find those (well identified) elements somewhere in a folder on my PC (so if needed I can reimport...), what will be the best way to back-up the entire project and all its assets ?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    no, it's not normal for your assets to disappear from project window. are you sure you are at root folder of your project? I believe there is a folder icon right below preview window in project window. click it to try to go up a level.

  • Hi, How to change date pattern in project panel in order to sort media according to date YYYY-MM-DD and not MM/DD/YY ?

    Hi
    Question is in the title
    I have the list of media and when I add columns from "metadata panel to the project panel, all dates are MM/DD/YY format and sort is not relevant !!
    Where can I change this pattern to the right one ?
    Thanks
    Emmanuel

    If you are on a PC then the instructions shown here should work for you. They did for me.
    Change the display of dates, times, currency, and measurements - Windows Help
    You just need to quit out of Premiere Pro after making the change and then start it up again.

  • Projects Panel and metadata

    Two questions:
    1. In Library part of Projects Panel, there are preset folders/albums/whatever at the top grouped by year (2007, 2006, etc.). Their icons are different from the Projects icon, folder icon, album icons... what are they? And how do I set up some of my own (for pix from many years, as much as 10, 20 years ago)?
    2. If they rely on metadata, I have a problem. A lot of my older pix have no accurate metadata... specifically the dates are not right. How can I modify the content of the metadata, within Aperture if possible, to make them accurate and thereby usable with Smart Albums?
    Thanks for any help provided... patrick

    The preset smart folders are fixed, and you can't create any more of them in that particular section under the Library (from what I've read in the documentation). They do indeed rely on the metadata - they appear to take the date from the Image Date field from the Photo EXIF info.
    I thought you could have done a Batch Change (Metadata > Batch Change...), but it will not allow you to select EXIF data to modify, only IPTC.
    You can create as many additional smart folders that you want, though, and the sorting does not have to be based on the EXIF data. The "Calendar" function, though, also uses EXIF, not IPTC. What I tried briefly that seemed to work:
    1. Use Batch Change to modify IPTC data for "Date Created" to the real date.
    2. Create a smart folder for each year you want. Add an IPTC line, select "Date Created" and the function "Contains" and type the year (e.g. 1978). If you want the folder to handle a full decade, just use the first three digits (e.g. contains 197).
    Hope this helps.

  • Wrong information in comumns project panel

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS 3.2.0 in windows XP sp3.
    Clips captured with premiere to *.avi files.
    In the project window the column Audio info shows 720 x 576 (1.422) and video usage shows 32000 Hz etc.
    Columns after these are showing also information belonging to other columns.
    The column Creation date doesn't show up with information.
    Capturing with another program shows the same errors.
    Do anybody knows what is wrong?
    John

    John,
    Welcome to the forum.
    That is a new one to me. I'd click on the little right-facing arrow (top-right of the Project Panel) and down at the bottom of the drop-down, Rearrange Columns. I'd uncheck everything, so that all Columns disappear. Repeat, and this time, check the Colums that you do want. Hopefully, when redrawn the X'ed "wires" will be fixed.
    If that does not work, and Column location and info is part of the Project in CS3, Import your existing Project into a new one of the same Preset, and see if this forces the Columns to correct themselves. Here, I'm guessing that there might be corruption in your .PRPROJ file.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,
