Timeline not displaying

Hi,
I'm using captive 2, very new to it. I did 1 project as a
tester and it worked fine, but then at some point the timeline
seemed to disappear. Even though it's been enabled (under view,
clicked on show timeline), it is not appearing. When I'm in the
edit tab, I can see the arrow to expand or compress the timeline
but clicking on that arrow just toggles the timeline arrow from up
to down. It does not show the contents of the timeline, which is
what I want.
Any thoughts?
It worked fine for a few days (1 project) then stopped. I
uninstalled and reinstalled Captivate 2 but same issue.
Thanks.

Hi alta_girl
After you click the tiny arrow to show the Timeline header,
try clicking the Timeline header itself. If that fails to produce
the timeline, I suppose it's possible that you have adjusted the
split between the Timeline and the Editing area so the Timeline
can't really display. One way to fix this is as follows:
Click the splitter bar and drag straight down to increase the
split between Timeline and Editor area.

CC 2014 not displaying waveforms on timeline or viewer

Having reluctantly upgraded to PP CC 2014 I am noticing that the waveforms of .R3D files do not display properly in the timeline or the viewer. Sometimes the waveforms are displayed correctly, sometimes not. There is inconsistency even within the same timeline.
Is there a new setting that needs to be enabled here or is this another one of those dreadful Adobe bugs we're getting so used to?

Hi Xebedie,
Did you import via the Media Browser or File > Import? Try the Media Browser.

Captivate 4 shortens timeline - elements are not displayed right anymore

Hi there,
I already searched the forum but couldn’t find an answer. Maybe someone of you can help me.
I have a weird problem with the timeline – in short: it changes.
I have some slides, based on imported Power Point slides. Within captivate I add some Audio (TTS), let appear images & textboxes simultaneously, add buttons etc.
Sometimes I extend the slide duration (for example when slide transition is set to automatically).
And now the problem that occurs: Captivate shortens the timeline – exactly to the length where the audio ends. Doing this causes that elements which are placed at the end of the slide are also shortened and not displayed right anymore.
This is shown in the following screenshot. On the left side of the cursor you can see an image element that normally should fade in directly after the audio ends and should stay for 4 seconds.
I couldn’t figure out when this happens. This means that I have to check every slide again to make sure that all elements are displayed right. Locking elements or the slide itself doesn't help.
Does anybody know why this happens and how to avoid this? I am using Captivate 4 and publish as an .exe or an .swf
Your help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Hi Noel
If you click Edit > Preferences > Global > Defaults do you have the option Calculate caption timing enabled?
If so, that's likely your issue. Clear the option and your timing should stay put when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

Clips not displaying in timeline

I've been having a nightmare of a time editing a project because my clips are randomly not displaying in my sequence timeline. The project recognizes them as being there and will play them when I preview, but some clips aren't represented graphically. This makes it nearly impossible to edit, because I'm constantly dropping new clips over existing ones on accident. In this image, inbetween the two cross dissolves, there should be a clip. I can only see it if I zoom in to a level that makes editing very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions? My clips are all AVCHD, by the way.

Yes, I'm sure the clips aren't on a track I've scrolled out of view. As I said, when I zoom in on the timeline, I can see that there is a clip in the gap, at least in the example I posted above. Here is a screenshot of my entire timeline after making some changes.
Where the playhead is, there should be a clip on track 1. What does the 'V' at the far left of the track indicate? Because it seems like maybe I've enabled some kind of overlapping video mode. I'm a new convert to Premiere from Final Cut, so I'm not very comfortable with this yet. I was able to fix the problem by deleting the two clip fragments to the left of the playhead. When I deleted one, the other clip fragment, to the left of the first one, stretched out to fill the gap. I haven't had the problem since, but I'd still like to know what was going on. Seemed like a bug to me, but the 'V' also went away after I deleted the clips, so I'm wondering if maybe I had entered some kind of mode that I wasn't aware of.

Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
Help, please?

Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

Why is it when I add photos from iPhoto onto an iMovie project, it is not displayed when I play the movie from beginning to end, although I can see it in the (edit) format?

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering why is it that when I place an image from iPhoto to an iMovie project, it is not displayed when I play it from beginning to end in fullscreen playback mode? However, when I exit it on the timeline, it is shown. All I did as drag it from the iPhoto column and place on at the beginning. I would really appreciate someones help because I really need to be able to place images onto my projects. Thanks!

PreE V8: Clips not displaying in project view

I have a clip in the my timeline/sceneline that is not displaying in Project view. It also does not have the "P" in the bottom corner of the thumbnail in Organizer view. Why isn't the clip considered part of the project?

I have been shooting in XP+ mode and have been for the past year.
I haven't tried using the Premier Elements Get Media function. I usually import both still images from one camera and the video from this camera at the same time into the same Photoshop album and use Organizer. Also there are some training videos and books that tell you to use Organizer.
I tried importing a video file using the Get Media function and was able to use the set in/out points and have them saved correctly.
Then in the project that I am working on I took one of video files that I imported through the Organizer and deleted it from the catalog. Then I imported it using the Get Media function and put it in the album with the other files. Then I used Preview to set in/out points. Those points were saved correctly.
So know I will delete all the remaining video files from the catalog that I haven't yet used in my project and then remote them through Premiere's Get Media.
So it appears that as you thought, I need to use Get Media to import video files. But that is not emphasized in any documentation. I think there should be a warning when importing video files in Organizer saying that if you intend to use Premier Elements to edit them that they should be imported via that product.
Thank you for your assistance.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
I am looking for
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?

Text not displaying on components

I have one swf file where im using the default textInput and
button components. Just so the user can enter a zip code and click
submit. When i publish that swf, everything looks fine. The problem
is that i am loading that swf into a master swf and when i view it
through the master swf, it displays the components without text.
The submit button is blank, it should say 'submit' on it, and no
characters display when you type into the textInput component. I am
able to type characters and submit the form, but i can't see what
im typing. I've tried messing with embedding fonts in the child swf
as well as the master to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions,
they would be greatly appreciated.

Here's how to talk to your dynamic text box. Where you put
this bit depends
on how you are building the preloader, but since you say the
progress bar
works fine, I'll assume you know what you're doing there and
will be able to
get this in the right spot.
// variable that calculates a number for the percent loaded
preloaded = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
// this line is talking to a dynamic text box named
"percentage_txt" that is
inside a movieClip named "preloader_mc" on the root timeline
// depending on your setup the path may be different, but
make sure
everything on the way to the text box is named
_root.preloader_mc.percentage_txt.text = preloaded + "%";
// You've probably left out the ".text = " bit. Just a guess,
but that's
the bit I always find
// I've left out when I'm having trouble with dynamic text.
// Also make sure your text color is not set to the same
color as your
background. Duh.
Good luck.

Audio Waveforms (On Certain Clips Only) Not Displaying

Long time forum-lurker, first time poster.
Here's the situation: The nighttime assistant editor created a sequence of B-roll clips for an editor. On both the editor's and the assistant editor's computer, the audio waveforms for these clips are not displaying correctly. Specifically, the symptoms (on both computers) are:
- Waveforms do not appear in timeline unless zoomed in to maximum or second-to-maximum zoom. When zoomed out farther than that, the "X"es appear.
- When viewing the clip in the viewer's audio tab, either by double-clicking the sequence clip or match-framing from the sequence, the waveforms do not appear at all until I zoom in to near maximum level. When zooming out after that, the remnants of the zoomed-in waveforms remain on the screen.
- The waveforms of other clips display correctly.
I have tried deleting the waveform cache on both computers, changing the location of the waveform cache and restarting, and deleting the preferences on the editor's computer. I have not tried recreating the sequence from the original clips because the daytime assistant editor has more sequences to create and needs to use her computer.
If anyone can help me, that would be great.
Here are the specs:
Assistant Editor's Computer: eMac running Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 and Mac OS 10.4.something (I haven't gotten a chance to run software update).
Editor's Computer: Dual Processor Power Mac G5 running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and Mac OS 10.4.8.
Both computers are sharing the same media which is located on our SAN. The Editor's computer (along with two other G5-based editing systems) is connected via FibreChannel. The Assistant Editor's computer (along with a whole bunch of other computers) is connected through our server, which serves the SAN drives as network volumes. Assistant editors create sequences on the eMac and upload the project file to the server, where they are available for the editors to download.
Power Mac G5 and eMac Mac OS X (10.4) SAN: Xserve RAID, CommandSoft FibreJet (not Xsan). Server: Xserve (Intel model)

Don't know what's going on, but tell us the format of
the audio.
It's the audio track from a video clip. All video on this project is DV NTSC. The audio is 48.0 Khz, 16 bit, 2 mono channels.
Also, try copying
one audio clip to a local drive and see if the
problem persists.
Copied one of the offending clips onto the desktop. Dragged it into the project. Opened it in the viewer and hit the Audio tab. Whaddya know, the waveform appeared.
I cut a chunk of it into the sequence that is full of clips whose waveforms don't work and turned on "show audio waveforms". Waited for a long time and I still just got the Xes unless I zoomed in really close to the new sequence clip.
But then I cut a chunk of the newly copied clip into a brand new sequence, turned on audio waveforms in the timeline, and they showed up.
I don't know if any of this will help to solve my problem, but hopefully it will give someone an idea. I've got an editor who says he's used to editing from waveforms and needs the ability to see them. (Unfortunately, copying media to local drives is not a viable workaround. The media must stay on the SAN.)

Waveform Not Displaying

The audio waveform is not displaying on the timeline. I have it turned on with optapplew. I dumped all my waveform cache. It even seems like the source video clips do not have it.
How can I tell FCP to redraw all waveform? OR what is the fix?

Hi Andy,
it's a slow day at work, the Avid is crashing constantly so we have to shut off the RAID, and what else is there to do for me, lonely in my editing suite, with all the apps but no footage.....
So there you have it. I'm frustrated. All there is to it.
Thanks though, at least someone thinks I'm doing a good job.

Captivate 7 images not displaying

I have a base image on my stage, then at various times bring in additional images and animations to display on the stage alongside the base image. When in the timeline (edit) view the images display as desired. When I preview the slide the images and animations do not display at all. All images are marked as "visable". What am I doing wrong? Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!

Yes the "Continue" button i placed on the stage was pausing all the images. When I moved it to the end of the timeline, the images played perfectly. I figured this out from reading related posts on this forum.

3d axis and tools not displaying

I am using the 3d workspace, I have reset 3d, have a 3d layer selected and I can play my animation in the timeline, switch between ortho and perspective. The timeline shows 3d camera position. But, the 3d tools are not displaying. What do I need to do? There is a good chance I am just forgetting something because I haven't looked at this for a few months, I think.

Hopefully there is a methodical answer instead of this. But, I got them to appear by:
1. Create a new file.
2. Duplicate the 3d layer to it (at which point no 3d tools displayed there either).
3. Created a new 3d mesh layer in that file.
4. Close the file without saving.
Now the 3d tools are displaying in the original file for some reason...

Mpeg 2 Not displaying anymore?

I created a DSP project with assets from FCP5.1 and Motion and everything worked great. I recently made some minor changes to the timeline in FCP and exported with Compressor as I did before. Now, When I open DSP4.1, it tells me that my assets were updated but the video does not diplay any longer. It shows a blank green screen and that's it. My chapter markers show up and the audio plays, but that is it.
Please help!

Thank you for your suggestions, but I tried both and there was no change. I deleted the PAR files and opened DSP and the m2v did not display. I then went into FCP, deleted the render files from the render manager and re-rendered the sequences. I then exported through Compressor the same way I did when the files worked. When I opened DSP, the same situation occurred. Shows that the files were updated, but they weren't.
The clip in the graphical view just shows a black slide. When I play it, I can hear the audio track and I see th chapter markers on the timeline, but no video.
I even tried to go to FCP and import the m2v (I don't know if you can do that), and it never imported and I had to force quit.
I am at the end of solutions. Please help!
Thank you,
Brian
As I said before, the really strange thing is that these two m2v files (from two seperate DSP project files, but from the same FCP project) worked fine before.

Premier Pro CS6 not displaying Video

Premier Pro CS6 is not displaying video. Loads and plays clips with sound and all monitors work but no video displayed, installs them in timeline, exports - just does not display video in program or preview monitors nor will it scrub in the thumbnails (static images only). Just started all of a sudden for no apparent reason. All valid file types, even previous projects that worked fine before display no video now.

If you are on Windows it HAS been known to happen that a Windows Update will cause a video driver to have problems (more information when you ask a question is a good thing http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 so people will be able to help)
It is "more usual" to need a video driver update, so good to know that a simple un/reinstall worked for you
