Time manipulation in Premiere Pro 2.0

Hi, I have Premiere Pro 2.0 as part of Adobe Production Studio, and have been using it for a few years for family videos. I have an idea this year that I probably won't pursue unless there's some kind of simplified trick for it, but I'm interested in taking some clips of my kids beating spoons on metal bowls and syncing their percussion with the drums in a song on the sound track.
I know how to increase or decrease the speed of a clip, but obviously something like this would be painstaking if I attempted to do it that way. Is there some trick I don't know about where you can click on a frame and stretch it forward or squeeze it backward to a specific point, with the video in between that and the last point automatically adjusting in speed to compensate?
Seems like that would be the way to do it. If not, I'll just do something lamer and move on, but thought it was worth asking.
Thanks.

Probably the easiest way to get close would be to Import and drag your percussion Clip to the Timeline. Then, use the * key on the numberpad to tap to the beats. This will place markers on the Timeline. Then, edit your Video Clips to line things up. Yes, painstaking.
Going the other way, you could Open both your Video and your percussion Track in Audition, and go the other way, but adjusting the beat of the Audio to match the Video in the little monitor window.
Either way, it will be work.
Last thought would be to look into Magix Music Maker. It seems that there is a Preset to allow one to match up beats with visuals. I've not used it, and might also be confusing Magix Music Studio. Magix has a forum, though not as active as this one, and maybe someone there can direct you to the exact program, and the exact function and Preset in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC?

    How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC? I am use to Premier Pro CS6 and unfortunately my labtop took a crash and I lost all of my adobe products. I wanted to check out a trial version and I cannot seem to find one for CS6! Please Help Me! My project is due tonight!!!!!

    Hi Aneumann,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    You have to just right click on the clip imported, in the project panel and select new sequence from clip. You can also go to file menu>new>sequence and create a sequence and then drag the clips after importing them , into the timeline.

  • I tried several times to download Premiere Pro trial om ny PC.

    I tried several times to download Premiere Pro trial om ny PC. On the web sait is written that programm is downloading and Creative Cloud is opened, but it's nowhere downloading programm. There is NO Premiere Pro in the list of Creative Cloud. Why??? How can I download it???

    Creative Cloud will only list programs for which your machine meets the system requirements.  Check the requirements and compare to your machine to see if/where the incompatibility arises.

  • Run time error installing Premiere Pro 2.0

    I am reinstalling a computer for one of my users on an XP PRo system and I get a run time error when installing Premiere PRo 2.0.  I believe this happened the first time I installed as well but I can no longer get support directly from Adobe.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Bogus!
    I'll see if I can find something on it. I recall linking to the source page in a fairly recent thread. However, as we know, some of the older post (pre-Big Bang... ) might be gone for ever. When I last posted on the RunTime.dll, I checked the links and they were still active then.
    If I can find more, I'll post back.

    [Edit] Here is the LINK to that Adobe article. I am off to explore the links within.
    PS I found the link within one minute of posting this. In that time, the Adobe forum logged me out. Doncha' just love the new fora?
    [Edit 2] The last two links still work. Not sure about any links that those pages might contain. Number one is dead.

  • Problems with time lapse in Premiere Pro cs5.5

    About a month ago I tried to make a time lapse with my Canon 7D.
    I imported the pictures to Lightroom and exported them as JPG. Than in Premiere Pro I clicked on import, selected the first image and checked the "numbered stills" box. It all worked as it should.
    Yesterday I tried to do this again. The only different thing is the cameras but I don't think that's the problem (it's the 5D mk2).
    When I import the photos as numbered stills in premiere pro it and drop it in the sequence all seems ok. When I move the slider in the sequence forward and backward it also seemed ok at first but now it shows no pictures but only a black screen with some noise (like tv noise). If I export it there is no movie, just black screen with noise.
    Where seems to be the problem?
    When I drop it into the sequence I can also change the scale of the image to fit the screen and that all seems ok... :/
    I can even play a preview inside the premiere pro and it's almost ok (it's not a smooth playback, but it plays as it should...tough it drops some frames).

    Welcome to the forum.
    When Still Images show as black, the first things that I investigate is the pixel x pixel dimensions of the images. With many Stills, even if they are within the allowed pixel x pixel range, one's computer's resources can be used up, and an alternate workflow might be useful - Scale the Images to match the Frame Size of the Sequence, prior to Import, in a program, like Photoshop. This ARTICLE might be helpful.
    The second thought is that the video driver is no longer performing properly, and needs to be updated. What is make/model of your graphics card, and what is the current number/date of your installed video driver?
    Good luck,

  • Two trim selections in source monitor time ruler. (Premiere Pro CC2014)

    I'm really confused by this apparent new feature, or glitch, in PP. I'm working on an old project that has been upgraded from CS6 through CC, and now to CC2014. Several of my clips have shifted to a different point in the source media, so the clip is still the same length on the timeline but contains a completely different part of the footage. When I double-click the clip in the time line to open it in the source monitor I get two trims on the time ruler like this:
    I am absolutely confused by this, I've never seen it before. More importantly I don't seem to be able to relocate either of them independently to get the correct section of the footage into my cut, and I can't seem to delete one of them.
    Is this something that's been caused by the upgrade, or is it a changed setting/preference in CC 2014. I haven't had this problem in any other project prior to installing 2014 earlier this week and now I'm hesitant to open any other projects in case it makes a mess of them too!

    The blue part is the video the green part the audio (this has been always been in Premiere)
    If you check Linked Selection (next to the wrench)  it probably will 'merge" when you double click on it.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes every time I try to open it

    Every time I open premiere pro wheather its a HD project or SD project, or even one that I worked on before in it, it decides that it needs to crash, how can I fix this?

    As Curt says, it is below the minimum. Those minimum specs. are to allow one to install the program, and are not even a guarantee that the program will run, let alone edit. [If Adobe asked me, I'd set realistic "min. specs." so that one could at least edit simple SD Projects.]
    Now, when it worked once upon a time, but not now, Curt is correct - something has changed. Were I troubleshooting, the first thing that I would check would be the I/O sub-system, i.e. the HDD's. It is likely that you have one HDD, and that it has filled up over time. It is likely that it is now too full to allow PrPro to even start up. Were I doing the investigations, the first thing that I'd look at is the defragmented free space on the HDD. For PrPro, my minimum would be ~ 100GB, AFTER the Page File (statically managed and set at boo-up) has been written. The listed min. is probably around 30GB, but that allows no breathing room. If your Page File (Windows Virtual Memory) is set to be dynamically managed by Windows, then it is what is likely filling to overflowing and shutting things down.
    Personally, I'd be looking into a new computer, but if you are doing SD only, and would like to troubleshoot things, to try and get back to using PrPro, as before, take a look at this ARTICLE, to get an idea of all the info that will be needed here.
    After you look into my speculation on HDD space, and satisfy that requirement, take a look at this ARTICLE, on getting the most possible out of your computer, especially for an editing session.
    If you do decide to invest in a more robust computer, please see Harm Millaard's great articles in the Hardware sub-forum. He discusses, in great detail, every aspect of a computer for video editing. They are better than one would ever get from talking to a sales rep at Dell, HP, Gateway, et al.
    Good luck, and please let us know how you'd like to proceed.

  • Time remap not keyframing in Premiere Pro CC

    I'm trying to keyframe Time Remapping in Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1, following the Adobe TV Tutorial (which uses a version of CS6/CC previous to the July 2013 update) and am unable to add keyframes directly to the timeline or adjust speed keyframes in the Effects tab. Am I missing a newer technique?  I'm on a Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.3. with Nvidia Quadro 4000.  Thanks

  • HELP! Blank time line Premiere pro CS 5.5

    Hi,
    When I open the time line in Premiere pro CS 5.5 it is totaly blank! No video and audio tracks.
    How do I get them back?
    Thanks! David

    Hi BITESBITER,
    You have to import the clips by file>import and then right click on it and select new sequence from clip. If you are trying to open a project and you see it in the project panel then simply search fro the sequence in project ponel that you want to open and double click on it to show it in the timeline.

  • Webinar: Controlling Time in Premiere Pro & After Effects CC

    Hi all,
    Check out this free Webinar by Rich Harrington. Controlling Time in Adobe Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC (Fri. Aug. 9th - tomorrow): Details http://ow.ly/nKOVL
    Cheers,
    Kevin

    Yeah, right!
    I tried to tell her that I want a really good chair for the new house, but I didn't mention just how much those things cost.
    However, her late father liked Herman Miller chairs. He designed furniture for hotels but could appreciate other brands than his own. So she might let me have one if I tell her that her father would have wanted us to have a pair of them in the office.
    Actually, I think I will be able to figure out how to get an hour off. I'll just prep my morning the night before and get most of it done before 10AM. I will wake her early and she will be tired about the time 10AM rolls around. If she is tired, I am allowed to be tired.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down

    Every time I start premiere pro, i get this message
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    I have no idea why this is happening because the program has been working fine for nearly 7 months.
    My ram is 2gb, I have a c2d processor and a powerful psu and a gfx card.
    Any ideas as what I can do, I have already reinstalled, removed vst plugins and reset all sorts of preferences and caches.
    THank you

    Head to the Adobe site's 'knowledgebase', type optimise CS3 for (Windows XP, if that's what your using) and following the instructions there, house clean. I find doing this helps clean out those nasty messages

  • Error installing update in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, error code U44M1I210

    Tried several times to update Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 with the same error code U44M1I210. Tired to contact customer but their site is down.

    Got the same Error. Previous I worked with a GTX 760, and was hoping to get it fixed with using a GTX 780 6GB. But just as you, didn't solve the Problem.
    Usually I got the Problem solved, with exiting Premiere, restarting it, reset my Workspace. Then the Problem of having the bugged Workspace was gone. And also the Problem of the missing Video Tracks.
    At the moment I started on a new Project. Pretty simple, with only a 21 second DV footage. And here I was switching tabs with my Browser, came back to the Project, and the Video Tracks were gone. I saved, closed Premiere, restated and the Video Tracks are still  missing.
    So I made a new Sequence, voilá the Video Tracks are there. Thus I need to copy and paste the Tracks onto the new Sequence.
    But that is not really a solution!
    I was on the Phone with Adobe, and on Chat, but they couldn't help me. They suggested to get a Tesla or Quadro Card, or at least a GPU that got confirmed as working on their page. I did that, but obviously, that is not the issue.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 Crashing with rendering, freezing system, and more

    Hello,
    I'm having some serious issues with Premiere pro on my late 2013 iMac.
    OSX 10.9.5
    3.2GHz Intel Core i5
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA FeForce GT 755M  1024MB
    I'm working in 1920x1080 23.976fps. Media files are from sony FS700 .MTS and Cannon 5DmkIII .mov
    Multiple times per day, PP crashes on me. It all started when I was getting really choppy playback which would be accompanied by this error message:
    A Low Level Exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG (Importer)
    This would soon after lead to the program freezing and me having to force quit the program. After contacting Adobe the first time about this persistent issue, the tech explained to me that it was a "Memory Leak" issue and that there was nothing that could be done. After the support team member ended our chat online before helping me solve my issue, I called support. I provided my case number and this person picked up where the helplessly left me and did the typical Adobe one fix all: He went into the hidden library and cleared all of my preferences, removed any third party plugins, and cleared the files in the root applications Adobe folder, renamed a folder "Adobe.Old" etc.
    As I explained to the support team member on the phone, this is not a solution but rather a bandaid until it happens again.
    Low and behold it has happened again. This time the support team member had me create a new System Administrator account on my computer thinking that there was a permissions problem with my other account which was conflicting with PPCC2014. While this was a major pain to switch between the new account and any other program that I had set up for day to day work, it allowed me to continue editing and at least (at a less efficient rate) get things done.
    Now, while using my new System Administrator account, I am getting terrible crashes that not only stall the program, but force me to hard re-boot my computer. These crashes are accompanied by a terrifying looking screen that I was only able to capture once.
    They've only become more intimidating as now I cant even see the program when this happens, but this is the only screen capture that did not turn out completely black.
    I'm looking to see if anyone has had any extreme issues like this and if so how they were able to fix it. I've now spent 6+ hours with support and after the last one was told I would receive a personal email follow up by the end of the day (never happened) to take further actions based on the performance after the new account creation.
    I need help. Now.
    -John

    Hi John,
    First of all, try this: Re: A low level exception occured in: Importer MPEG (Importer)
    Next, make sure that if you updated OS X to 10.9.x, or later, you must check the following each time you update: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    Other things to try:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    Repair permissions
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    Remove QT components from Mac HD > Library > QuickTime
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Report back if anything here worked for you.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version  - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

    First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version).  When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working.  And then the program crashes. Please help.
    My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to the Adobe forums.
    Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
    1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
    2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
    Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.

  • Premiere Pro freezes and causes my computer to crash by re-writing the permissions inside my computer

    Premiere Pro re-writes my permissions inside my computer and causes premiere to crash, run slow, restarts my computer in the middle of rendering, and freezes my whole computer.  I have a brand new 2013 Mac Pro with 12core, 16 GB of ram, and 6GB of GPUs.  I will even try and and edit very small HD files from a DSLR whether they are H264 or Pro Res files.  I will do something simple like a distortion correction on those files that are a minute long and it takes it 40 plus minutes to render if it makes it through without crashing the program or the computer.  If I run it for a while without restoring the permissions in the disk utility it makes my whole computer freeze and crash from just about every program.  I have spent many hours on the phone with apple re-installing my operating system thinking that hardware was my issue.  After doing so and installing programs like avid and final cut with Adobe products off the computer it worked perfectly.  Then when I install Adobe products like Premiere Pro on the very first render they will start to have the issues I have explained above.  I have contacted Adobe support and have spent like 20 hours over the last few weeks with them remote logging onto my computer trying to fix the issue.  Towards the end of the last call the guy I was talking too wanted to collect all the information he could to ask the engineers about my problem. He asked me over a dozen times if I had re-installed my operating system and I responded with yes I have each time.  He then changed his tune to the only way he will continue to help me is if I will again re-install my operating system and only put Premiere Pro on the computer just to see if that will work.  I have crazy deadlines and do not have time to go through that process again and again.  He also told me that lots of people with my same computer have the same issues but still wants me to re-install my operating system again.  I explained to him that I am extremely behind with my work (because of this issue) and do not have the time to re-install again since the first re-install didn't work.  I had told him multiple times that I can get around using Adobe products but am huge fan of them(when they work) and would like to find a way to solve the problem.  He then told me that I should go ahead and cancel my subscription and and use that work around since he can not figure it out.  Is there anybody at Adobe that cares about losing my business?  Or anybody out there that may help with the solution of my problem?
    Thanks,
    Cody

    WOW!!!! Adobe only cares about there reputation and not their customers!
    Response:  I said multiple times in the last thread that I already did a clean install of my operating system.
    Response:  I use DaVinci 10 times more than Premiere Pro and never have had one issue with it ever!  Must not be the issue?!?
    Response: Changing the read and write permissions was the first thing the guy tried two weeks ago.  I have done a clean install of Mavericks and it did not solve my problem(as I said in my first post).
    (Please do not create new posts in response to an earlier post. That post was deleted).
    Hi Cody,
    Really sorry you're so upset. I'm only trying to help, though. I suggested that the number one fix is to make sure that your permissions are set to read/write. You did not mention that agents tried this at all in your original response so that's why I mentioned it. Also, I was not completely clear that a clean installation was done as most people install the original OS and then update it, which can cause the issue. Sorry for the confusion.
    You did say that you use Resolve all the time with no issues. Resolve can mistakenly install CUDA on your machine which has AMD GPUs. This can cause serious issues. I would remove CUDA from your machine and see if you get better results: Avoid installing NVIDIA CUDA drivers on computers with AMD GPUs
    If you want further help, please let me know and I'll do what I can do to assist.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
