Timeline/Behavior Issues

I have placed 3 AP Elements (with Images in them) into my timeline. I have staggered them and applied the fade/appear behavior to each. I have also set the timeline to loop, however when it is done fading the last image out the screen is blank for a few seconds and then starts back with the first image. I want to fix it where there is no blank after the last image is done... What am I missing. Should I add a new behavior right before the loop or what? Thanks!

Having a similar issue here. Been working with FCX for a week now and simply love it, but last night started to see some issues on the timeline. A simple restart seemed to help. Here's what I would suggest and what I'm doing for now to make sure that I don't loose any footage. Depending on the time of your project, create a number of projects, in my case, 4 separate projects for 1 show. I have an outdoor show that I edit/film/produce/host and it's 4 segments between commercials. I'm simply editing 1 segment at a time. Seems everyone is screaming at the small glitches in FCX, but I've been working with FC7 for years now and I have daily issues including timeline, crashes, drop frames on export, the list goes on and on and on. Try dumping the pref file whenever this happens, that also seems to help. This program is incredible and since I incorporate so much music into the show, the magnetic timeline is like butter.

Timeline Update Issues

OSX 10.9.3
Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8) & 7
AVCHD 1080/60i
I have had this issue since moving to Creative Cloud a few months ago. When I have a timeline that has more than one video track the program monitor sometimes takes 3-5 seconds to update when I move the play head (click on a new location). Also, after I move the play head, wait for the program monitor to update, then press play it will not play from the new location, but rather jump back to where the playhead was previously and start playing from there. This becomes extremely annoying when I add transitions and simply want to preview the transition.
I have noticed it is worse after I had a color correction or brightness effect, which causes the entire clip to need to be rendered. I understand that for smooth playback I should render or set the program monitor to display a lower resolution, however, I do not see why this should have an effect on simply placing the playhead and then playing from there. And at any rate the behavior still exists without adding rendering into the mix.
I have not had time to do a lot of tests, but searching the web found some solutions that have not worked for me. I have followed this FAQ:Why is the timeline responding so slowly? - Adobe Premiere Pro and can confirm that the "possible causes" do not effect me and/or I meet the requirements and none of the other responses had any effect. I have also looked up several forum posts, but they don't seem to have any resolutions. These are projects that have been created solely in Creative Cloud, not projects brought over form CS6 or previous versions and this happened in PP 7 and now 8.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am willing to try things out if possible.

That SEEMS like a case where your graphics driver needs to be updated... but NO way for anyone to tell without hardware information

Timeline control issues in firefox

My flash animation is not loading correctly in Firfox, the
ActionScript I'm using to control the timeline with FlashVars is
not working. I'm am a beginer at this and I don't know the problem.
It is working fine in IE after enabling the ActiveX, as well as in
Safari.
I am creating basicaly a graph that loads values from
FlashVars of which values will be set by database entries using php
or JavaScript (not my portion of the project). Odly enough I have
movie clip symbols in the animation which are working fine. I have
flashvars loading into the movie than I declare new variables
directed within the respective symbols that in effect control the
timeline. The declarations are in the first frame of the main
timeline and look a little like this:
FirstSymbol.FirstVariable = FlashVar;
SecondSymbol.SecondVariable = OtherFlashVar;
and so on. Then within the symbols I have timeline controls
to play the movie at a particular frame according to the variable
values, they look something like this:
if (FirstVariable<=0) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if (FirstVariable>0 & FirstVariable<=1) {
gotoAndStop(3);
} else if (FirstVariable>1 & FirstVariable<=2) {
gotoAndStop(4);
This is all working fine. But the same principal is not
working on the main timeline. I even tried re-declaring a new
variable with the value equaling the imported FlashVar, but it
didn't make a differenence. There is one diference with the bellow
code which is that it is all in a "if, else if" statement. In the
main timeline I have two variables that will control the timeline.
One is to bring the timeline to a certain point (this is not
working), the other is to limit how far the movie will play
according to the value it is givin. So I have the "if, else if"
statement in the begining to make sure it does not go anyware if
the limiting variable is equal to zero. The code I'm using looks
something like this:
stop();
if (LimitingFlashVar<=0)
gotoAndStop(1);
} else if (LimitingFlashVar>0)
if (StartingFlashVar<=0) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if (StartingFlashVar>0 &
StartingFlashVar<=1) {
gotoAndPlay(105);
} else if (StartingFlashVar>1 &
StartingFlashVar<=2) {
gotoAndPlay(209);
} else if (StartingFlashVar>2 &
StartingFlashVar<=3) {
gotoAndPlay(313);
Instead of going to and playing the appropriate frames the
movie just starts playing from the first frame and only stops at
the next ActionScript which tells it to stop. Regardless, it
niether stops at the first frame, nore does it jump to the
appropriate frame. I don't know if this is an ActionScript problem,
as it behaves the same way if the ActiveX is not enabled in IE, but
once it id enabled it works fine in IE, and as I said, Safari.
So what's the deal with Firefox? Is there some Script that
can counter this issue and make it work. I've seen other posts
which seam to address similar issues, and they tell me to "find a
block of code X and insert Y after it", they say:
"If you're having problems getting the Control Flash behavior
to work in Firefox, find this line of code:
var obj=MM_findObj(objStr);
and add this code on the line after it:
if (obj && obj[1]) obj=obj[1]; ..."
I was unable to try this because I'm new at this and I don't
know where that code is to be found or edited. Or is it something
else? Please help. Sorry this is such a long post, but I would
really appreciate some guidence from anyone who can help.

I saw that in my earlier searches (before I posted).
I'm not working with multiple profiles.
from my home directory ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

Should I be looking somewhere else as to where it's getting it's information from?

Final Cut Pro 7 Timeline Sync Issue

I can't pin-point exactly when it started, but over the past couple months I have had an issue with the audio playing out of sync from the video in the timeline. I'm using DSLR footage that I've ran through MPEG Streamclip, to both XDCAM EX and ProRes(LT), either way the video plays out of sync. It plays fine in the viewer window, and is in sync when scrubbing or moving through the timeline frame by frame, but as soon as I hit play the audio runs about 3 frames earlier than the video. It exports in sync as well, so lately I've just been making do, but its very frustrating.
Working with the same footage on an iMac with half the power of this Mac Pro, there's no lag so it really shouldn't be because the computer's not powerful enough. And while working with footage that was recorded directly to Prores, things run perfectly in sync. I am completely baffled, any ideas?
Thanks.

Not sure about the decklink, but when you send video out through a card, the audio ought to follow it. There's a certain latency when looking at the computer monitor and hearing the audio from an external source.

Timeline behavior when inserting a clip

I've got a timeline built, but it's sort of a draft. I'll replace some clips with others, delete some, insert some. Problem is, when I'm inserting a new clip, it would make my life so much easier if the rest of the clips in the timeline would move out of the way to allow the insert, but I can't seem to get it to behave this way.
In other words, let's say I've got a timeline 3 minutes long, full of 5-second clips. So, if I insert a 10-second clip at 2:30 in the timeline, I want every clip at 2:30 and beyond to move to the right 10 seconds to make room for my new clip.
Surely there is a way to do this, huh?

Yes, there is.
First, place your playhead at the point in the timeline where you want the new clip inserted. Presumably you have the new clip in your Viewer. Click & drag it onto the Canvas and the edit overlay will appear on top of the canvas - drop your clip onto the Insert box in the edit overlay window. Your clip will be inserted where your playhead is and all the clips to the right in the timeline will be pushed to the right.
Note: make sure you have the playhead positioned exactly where you want the new material to go; if it's in the middle of an existing clip, or even 1 single frame before the end of an existing clip, that clip will get cut at the playhead and the new clip will be inserted there. If that's what you want, fine, but just be aware of the behavior.

Creating Login Pages - Server Behavior Issues

Hello,
I been trying to find a solution to this problem for this
past week.
I'm having issues with creating a login page. First, I get
the page created with a username text box, password text box, save
username checkbox, etc. Next, I add the server behavior for 'User
Auth' - 'Login User'. Now..here's the problem. When I complete
that, I get this error (SEE BELOW). Somehow the server behavior
duplicates. I can't go on until I make one of them unique from the
other. I tried every which way to delete it, but I can't. Any
suggestions?
SERVER BEHAVIOR ERROR
"The server behavior panel cannot determine whether "Log In
User" or "Log In User" is applied to your page. Please select Edit
Server Behaviors and change one of the 2 behaviors to ensure that
each is uniquely identifiable."
NOTE: By using the "-" sign above the panel, I can't remove
the duplicate.
Also, when I create a login page, I do need to insert a form
first("form1") and then place the username, password, checkbox
inside that "form1" form I just created, correct?
Thanks for all your help!

You could do a redirect on the page that they do land on once

My personal preference would be to make one page, and only
show the user

Pro 2.0... timeline display issues. - not refeshing

When I make changes, the timeline doesn't look any different until I scroll the window a little.
Such as when I place a clip in the timeline, it often only shows a smaller half-drawn version of what you'd expect until I scroll a little.. and if I delete the clip from the timeline, it doesn't LOOK like it's gone anywhere until I move the scroll.
I've used an even older version of premiere of this machine, and it worked fine, but this slightly newer version's new install.. has some odd issues...
Thanks for any help anyone can provide...!

I have ADOBE Encore CS3 project setup and i have the following assets in the project.
1. Timeline1.
2. Timeline2.
3. Main Menu
4. Sub Menu or Chapter Menu
5. Audio for Main Menu (MP3)
6. Audio for Sub Menu (MP3)
Setup:
1. Main Menu contains the links to Timeline1, Timeline2 and Submenu. And Main Menu has been selected as Start of Play screen.
2. SubMenu has Chapters linked to Chapters on Timeline 1, Timeline 2.
3. End of Action is set on both the Timelines. And the End of Action being set to go back to Main Menu on both the timelines.
The Problem is:
In the preview mode:
1. The Main Menu display with the audio. When the link to Timeline1 Video is selected, Timeline1 Video is played and Audio is heard. No Issues here.
2. End of Action is clicked on the Timeline1, and it comes back to the Main Menu. No Issues here.
3. Timeline2 is selected Video is displayed and audio is heard. No issues here.
4. End of Action is clicked on Timeline2 and the control comes back to Main Menu. No Issues here.
5. Now I select Timeline1 Video again from Main Menu, the issue is, TIMELINE1 VIDEO is played, but NO AUDIO is heard. This happens always whenver i come back from Timeline2 to Timeline1 either from Chapters Menu or Main Menu.
Could you please tell me whether it is a ENCORE issue or is it something related to my authoring.
Please Advise,
Venky

What happens if you actually create a disc instead of using preview?
Try to an RW disc, and please check this.
Remember that preview mode is not an actual multiplex of the final VOB filesthat compiling the disc will create, and as such can be a little wobbly whereas a real disc will be properly multiplexed together.
Also - just to humour me - please do not use MP3 audio, as you are forcing on-the-fly sample rate conversion which is not a good idea.

Timeline Playback Issue - OSX

I have two iMacs that are having this issue. When I am using the J, K, and L keys to play and shuttle through the timeline the L key does not play it just skips forward one frame every time I press its. This will happen forever unless I press the space bar to play then go back to using the L key. I pretty much deal only with several camera shoots, so I cannot determine if it is better or worse with single cam timelines.
OSX 10.9.3
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB DDR3 RAM
Hitachi 7200RPM HDD
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
Premiere Pro 7.2.2
Footage is AVCHD 1080i 60fps playing off of a harddrive
I also notice that sometimes the playhead won't actually go to where I place it when I click on the timeline, it will jump to it then instantly jump back to where it was originally; not sure if this is related or another issue.
Does anyone else experience this? What can I do to correct it?

Jim,
You keep making the same mistake over and over and you obviously do not understand that a single disk has more tasks than just feeding a media stream from disk. If that was the only thing, you might have been correct, but it is ridiculous to state that a single slow disk is enough for editing.
You simply forget Windows housekeeping tasks (system clock, network access, indexing, file tags, logs, etc.) , access to the page file, loading and unloading DLL's needed by services and processes running, Adobe accesssing indexed, conformed and peak files and the database pointers to them, the raw media, the accessing of importer and exporter modules, the effects and transition modules, the playback engine, backup of project files, Adobe logs, etcetera, etcetera.
You always assume that time lines have only one track, not multiple tracks and each track in use more than doubles the bandwidth requirements.
You conveniently forget audio processing and multiple audio tracks. In short, you give a very lobsided story than is completely inaccurate.
No hard feelings, but I think you better adjust your stance on this.

Timeline playback issues

I am having issues with the playback of clips in my timeline. The clips will play for 1 or two seconds then stop. If I click play the same thing repeats over and over. The odd thing is that I can intermittently on occasion play the timeline without doing anything differently.
Before we go too deep pointing blame at hardware issues I am able to play these clips with NO problems using Aunsoft Final Mate, Windows Media Player as well as AE writer 5.0 which came with my camcorder. I have the Panasonic HCX920. This camera records 1080/60p. with 5.1 channel audio. When I select project assets I get the following info. Type: MPEG Movie Size 1920X1080, frame Rate 59.94, Pixel ratio 1, average data rate 3Mb/sec, source audio 48Khz compressed 6 ch.,project audio 48Khz 32 bit floating point 6 ch.
I record to SandiskExtreme Pro SDHC UHS-I cards 16 GB. I am adding the media using the 1080/60p preset in Elements 11. I save my projects on my C drive but keep everything else including the imported video, scratch discs etc on my WD RE 4TB SATAIII hard drive.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64Bit I have 16 GB of RAM and the processor is the Intel i5-2500k CPU at 3.3GHz.
I have updated my Nvidia video card driver to the latest its the GT430. I have also made sure that I am running the latest version of Quicktime.
I purchased the Adobe Premiere elements 11 Classroom in a book and have read it. I have checked the problem solving docs on adobe's web site. My concern is that I can play back these clips without any issues on everything that I have tried except PE11.
Correct me if I am wrong but I am supposed to play the entire timeline from beginning to end by pressing play without interruptions correct?
I have tried rendering the timeline but that doesn't seem to do anything. There is no indication that lets you know if rendering is in progress or if completed. I know that PE11 supports 1080/60p but is this cameras output something that PE11 doesn't handle?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please excuse the question, I was reading about your Panasonic HCX920 offerings and noted AVCHD 1080p60 and AVCHD 3D.
What is the difference in the properties between the two so that one can distinquish between the two on a MediaInfo or other properties readout?
You wrote
I have tried rendering the timeline but that doesn't seem to do anything. There is no indication that lets you know if rendering is in progress or if completed.
When you tried to render the Timeline containing the 1080p60, was there an orange line, green line, or no colored line over its content on the Timeline? If you have no colored line or a green line, there is no rendering when you press the Render Button or press Enter or go Timeline/Render Work Area, just playback of your Timeline. The colored line indicator system is the program telling you whether or not it feels that you are getting the best possible preview for what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor at playback. With no colored line or green indicator, no rendering since the program feels that you are getting the best possible preview. You realize that once you edit that "rendered" clip it will require rendering to get the best possible preview of what you then have. If orange line over time and you render, you know the rendering process is complete when the orange line is completely replaced by a green one.
When all is said and done, at this point, if you export your 1080p60, what does the export look like on your player? Are you seeing the same problems in the export as you are seeing at the Timeline level?
If you are exporting the 1080p60, then to what...1080p60 with 5.1 channel audio? If you want to do that, as 1080p60 with AAC 5.1 Channel Audio I can tell you how to do that. Can do as AAC but not Dolby Digital.
If you did want to follow up on JMJarrige's suggestion about deleting the BadDrivers.txt file, in your Windows 7 64 bit, the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in the path:
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
I may have missed the information in what has already been written, so I would appreciate it if you could remind me how you are importing your 1080p60 into Premiere Elements
a. from memory card into Premiere Elements via one of the Add Media choices as mentioned by SG, that is, the FLIP one
or
b. transferring your 1080p60 to the computer hard drive save location, followed by import into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media/Files and Folders?
Just some thoughts.

Jsp update behavior issue - 8.0.2

The jsp UPDATE behavior is not working. I am running on
Tomcat 5 and have used this behavior successfully before I applied
the 8.0.2 patch. I do not believe it is the jsp complier causing
this issue.
I go to use the UPDATE recordset behavior and the page
redirects to the page requested, but no table updates are
performed. After digging into this I commented out:
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(MM_editRedirectUrl));
and placed:
out.print(MM_editQuery);
right below the commented out line so I could see the sql
query being executed.
The jsp is not grabbing any of the field’s values, but
rather putting in question marks for everything. My change above
produced the following output:
update dbo.CONTACT set NAME = ?,JOB_TITLE = ?,GROUP_ID =
?,BLDG_ROOM = ?,PHONE = ?,MOBILE = ?,EMAIL = ?,SHOW_PHOTO =
?,SUPERVISOR = ?,ALT_CONTACT = ? where USER_ID = ?update
dbo.CONTACT set NAME = ?,JOB_TITLE = ?,GROUP_ID = ?,BLDG_ROOM =
?,PHONE = ?,MOBILE = ?,EMAIL = ?,SHOW_PHOTO = ?,SUPERVISOR =
?,ALT_CONTACT = ? where USER_ID = ?
HAs anyone else run into this or I am the only person using
the jsp model?
Thanks,
Trey Wentz

Please sorry for my bad english, I try to be clear ;-)

I'm having timeline playback issues on one user on an iMac but not on another

Ok, I'm stumped. The iMacs we have here at the high school are set up through active directory and on the Admin account, premiere performs fantastic. On the student accounts however, it has this weird playback issue where it will play for about a second and then stop. You can keep pushing play but it keeps stopping. The app doesn't crash but playback is really bad.
I sure appreciate the help.

Inserting Stills Into a Video Timeline Quality Issues

Is there a best option of extension or description of stills to use when adding pictures to the timeline?
I am trying to add a jpg file just as a still in the video and it loses a lot of quality when I drop it in. It is fine in the viewer. What am I doing wrong?

Hey V
The source is less than 1/3 the resolution of the eventual target resolution (1920x1080) so you must be doing a more than 300% blowup of that image in order to fit your target. That will account for some of the loss of quality you are seeing. Additionally, as Tom has alluded, the Canvas window in FCP is just a low res proxy view of your edit ... you need to see the rendered footage on a proper video monitor before you can be certain of the final quality.
As for the dropped frames, FCP is trying to convert this low res PDF file into an HD video format in real time ... which is proving too much for your system. You'll need to render that section first for realtime playback.
Hope that helps explain whats going on and why.
Best
Andy

Timeline Editing Issues

I have an existing project that allows me to edit state to state transitions in the timeline, but once I navigate to another state (or anywhere else for that matter), all of the editing I just did gets erased and it goes back to the last known transition sequence. It also seems my project is not being saved when I try to save it. It was working properly for awhile. Help

Ty, thanks for the quick answer. It seems a more accurate description is as follows:
When you run the project, you will see I have a number of radio buttons grouped as a custom component. When you go into it, here is a following example:
For the amBrakesStart to brakesStart transition of the custom component, I want to remove all "move" transitions. I can do this, but when I go out of it and come back in, they reappear. Also, the preview button shows that the transition from amBrakesStart to brakesStart works properly (even if I do not erase the move transitions), but when I run it in the browser, something funky happens. Some of the text and radio buttons move when they should just fade out as in the preview. This is only one example, but it applies throught the project. I did notice that when I add a new button that any subsequent transitions for the new button seems to take. Thanks, Don/monkamoo.com

Timeline panel issues

Hi - hoping someone can help here.
1. I recently "bumped" the timeline panel such that it is no longer nicely seated in the usual position. I have tried dragging it around but it just won't "slot" into position. The problem with this is that I can't use the entire workspace efficiently
2. Can someone tell me whet the vertical blue shaded bar is, about 2/3 of the way across the timeline?
Thanks in ad advance!

Thank you so much!
Any chance you know the answer to my second question about the blue shaded column under one of my video layers?
