Timeline to External / Source Monitor

I am presently migrating to CS5 Prod. Prem. Just recently installed all apps.
In Prem. Pro, How can I get the footage placed in the sequence timeline to gang to the Source Monitor Panel and/or output to my external monitor? From the source monitor panel, I can select the sequence, but when I manually scrub back and forth thru the sequence using the timeline there is no output to the external tv monitor, only to the desktop program monitor within the PP workspace.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure I'll have many more questions. I'm migrating over from A/ FCS3.
- John

no go... I can only output to the external monitor through the Source Monitor. When I try to turn off output from the program monitor, I just get a little dialog box saying Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning with a check box and okay button. My output seems to be locked to the Source monitor. I am able to bring up the dialog boxes you spoke of in the Program monitor.
I'm outputting thru a Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI/Component/Composit pci card. The card has it's own panel in System Preferences of the OS and is outputting thru HDMI to the external monitor. As I said, I'm able to output from the Source Monitor in PP, but not the Program Monitor in PP. The timeline seems locked to the Program monitor, Is there a way to link the timeline to the Source Monitor, instead of the Program Monitor?
Thanks again,
J.

No Signal from Timeline to External Broadcast Monitor

I've been running FCP 6.0.1 for about three months with no problems until just recently when I lost timeline signal to my external JVC broadcast monitor. Log and capture work fine and All Frames is selected in the View menu.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Sequence to source monitor

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to load a sequence from the timeline into the source monitor? (Similar to the functionality in Avid).
Cheers,
Kale.

I know how to do it one clip at a time, but not three.
For one clip, put the CTI over the clip in the timeline then just use the Match Frame key , which is "F" by default, to call up the clip in the Source Monitor.
On the other hand, you can just lasso the three clips and drag them to the right spot. I think you have to hold the Ctrl key to make it insert when you do that.
Or you could copy and paste from one part of the timeline to another.
PS. I have never seen Avid.

CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

Now what is this?
It all works fine until you try DV Output.
In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
1. output disabled on external monitor
2. some crazy flickering happens
3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
Same happens when switching back to timeline.
Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

Video won't play in timeline or source monitor

I recently purchased a Canon HG10 camcorder and have been attempting to edit the AVCHD .mts files using Premiere Pro CS4 (4.2.1). However, I have been unable to play the video in either the timeline or source monitor. Both the video and audio will play for a fraction of a second and then stop. I thought it might be an issue with the .mts file so I converted it to several other formats (Quicktime, H.264, MPEG4, etc.) and I still can't get any video to play. I imported and tried playing other video, but to no avail. I can edit, scrub, export, apply effects, and do pretty much anything else - but I can not get it to play in the timeline. I do have Final Cut Express and if I convert the .mts file to Quicktime I can edit it, but I would like to be able to edit the native Canon AVCHD.
Current system:
iMac 10.6.4
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1600
74 GB hard drive space
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Jason

Jason,
The first thing that I would check would be your Playback Preferences. Please list your settings, and folk here can review them and possibly spot something simple.
Next, I would do one of two things, regarding your Catalyst drivers for you ATI/AMD card. If you do not have the latest driver, download and install it. If you DO have the latest Catalyst driver, keep it around in a safe folder, but download and install an earlier version. Cannot recall the exact numbers now, but a few users had to go back about three versions. Also, since those driver versions were listed in this forum, I'd bet that at least two more have been released. Going back a few months, it seems that there were 2 - 3 versions, that did not work well with some Adobe programs.
Though I have all nVidia cards, I keep drivers going back about 6 mos., as I never know when I might encounter an issue and need to roll-back.
Also, as the gaming market drives the video card business, and their drivers, it is possible that some gamer-only module has been added. That happened with nVidia drivers about a year ago. For a couple of versions, one had to manually disable a 3D and another gamer-only module. Later versions installed with these off, unless the user turned them on.
Last thought - check your OpenGL settings, and depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration. In your Catalyst console, check what your 3D settings are. You want to set any to "Let the application choose," or similar syntax.
Good luck, and hope that something there helps you.

Changing 2 Mono Tracks back to 1 Stereo Track on timeline, or source monitor?

I was working in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and I switched Audio on a clip to 2 Mono Tracks instead of its original 1 stereo track. I brought it in the Source Monitor and then on the timeline.
I then realized later on that I wanted to switch the audio back to 1 Stereo Track instead of the 2 Mono tracks.
I could not figure out a way to do this.
Is it possile to do this? If so. how?
Thanks in advance?

Joe has given you a good answer, but exactly why do you want to switch the two mono Tracks back to Stereo?
If one is not doing certain things, then they will be Mixed-down to stereo on Export. However, certain editin operations WILL be easier with both back in stereo, if you are doing those.
Good luck,
Hunt

MXF file plays with audio on Source Monitor but timeline imports only the video

Hello,
This started happening like a few hours ago. But it was working perfectly before! This is driving me insane!
This is the situation (Premiere CC, updated to latest version):
- I have a bunch of MXF files and if I play them on the Source Monitor, audio and video play perfectly.
- The moment I drag the MXF file onto the timeline, only the video is imported, not the audio.
- I tried to drag only the audio, using the different ways that Premiere provides but it won't come at all.
I managed to import audio and video doing the following: close all sequences, and drag the MXF file in the timeline with no sequence opened thus it will create a sequence with the imported audio and video from the MXF file.
BUT if I try to drop the SAME MXF file in this brand new sequence, only the video will come again.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? And why it suddenly stopped working?
Thank you!

Can't drag video from source monitor to timeline

I have been working a few years with Premiere Pro (now CC) and this never happened to me before.
I can't drag video from the source monitor to the timeline. What is happening? The sound can be dragged but there is a hand with a 'no sign' for the video??? How can I solve this problem without starting over again?

Please dont double post!!!!

Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

The Source Monitor isn't showing the video, and crashes when importing to Source Monitor or Timeline

The Source Monitor has no Black Box (which is within that video displays); and when I try to load a file into the Source Monitor, I get this, after the screen whites out:

You need to set the source patching:

Unable to paste clips from source monitor into the timeline with buttons

hi,
working with the newest version of premiere pro cc 2014.
I'am unable to paste clips from the source monitor into the timeline by neither using the buttons below the source monitor nor hitting the shortcut "," .
dragging the clip in the timeline still works... is there a hidden setting to enable this functions again or is it a bug?
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot!

Premiere Pro CC: Drag from source monitor to timeline

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why this does not work. I can only drag video from the Source Monitor into my timeline. But when I try to drag audio, it just shows me a stop sign and no errors. So I can't really figure out why this is happening.
The workaround for this is to make the clip in the project window into it's own sequence, cut the clip and it's audio, and paste into the working timeline. However I don't think this is a good way of working and it's really annoying. Tried looking for results on how to fix this and only found ways of going around the problem instead of getting the problem resolved.

How funky, thanks Kevin. This solved the issue, I knew it had to be something extremely small that just kept bugging me.

Add source monitor selection to timeline?

I want to select audio then mark the range in the timeline. Is there a way to get the selection or markers from the source monitor to appear in the timeline so that I can edit based on it?
I can note the time in the source window, and then manually duplicate the selection, but the time frame is way too coarse for me to use. I want to select a range of audio samples not somewhere unknown within a millisecond.

Oh. I mean that the audio is in the timeline at 0. For example, if I had selected 1 second in the source window, I want to playhead to be positioned at 1 second in the timeline.
But, the selection in the source window is something like 57357 audio samples. I want the playhead in the timeline to be at the same offset as 57357 audio samples (or, whatever the selection is that I have made in the source windows). Or, I want to be able to select at the level of audio samples in the timeline in some other way.

Audio track missing on timeline when I insert clip from source monitor

I have the following problem with PP CS6: my media contains two alternate mono tracks (one with the signal boosted as an insurance) and I have PP set up to treat them as two mono tracks, rather than one stereo track. Everything works fine when I drag media directly to the timeline from the project panel. But when I use the source monitor to select in and out points, and then insert the chosen clip into the timeline, only one of the two audio tracks appears on the timeline. Can anyone please explain how to make sure I get both tracks on the timeline via this route?
Thanks
DM

Hi Jim,
Thanks for replying. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to my case. I've set PP's default behaviour to import as dual mono in Edit\Preferences\Audio. This allows me to drag media from the project panel to the timeline and get two sediscrete mono channels. My problem is that when I go the source monitor route, any clip that I insert does not display two audio tracks on the timeline, just one. I have discovered I can switch the source channel from left to right, which to all intents and purposes fixes my problem, but I would like to maintain the option of getting both channels displayed separately on the timeline if possible.
Thanks

No audio in timeline or waveform after XML import. YES audio in source monitor.

I'm collaborating with another editor on this project. He picked out a bunch of selects using FCP. I opened the FCP projcet, exported the selects sequenece as XML, imported into Premiere.
Now, everything is in my premiere project nice and clean, however there's one big problem:
There is no sound in from any of the clips when they are brought into the timeline. If I double click the clips, and bring them into the source monitor, there is sound, plays perfect. None in the timeline, and no signal in the audio waveform. Premiere is also not conforming in the background, so I don't think that's the issue either.
I tried messing around with the audio channels, turning them all to none, back on, etc... no dice.
Any ideas?

Without knowing anything about the footage, or the Sequence, it's impossible to know.
If Ann is correct, as to the cause (one possibility), then this ARTICLE might give you more useful info.
Good luck,
Hunt
