Timeline Troubles CS4

I'm sure it's a simple fix but my timeline won't allow me to drag or play the project.  I'm using a Macbook Pro, circa 2009 if that makes any difference.  On a new project I can add things to the time line, move them around but when I try to drag or arrow the TCI won't budge.  The timeline seems to have blocks at 10 second intervals where I can click to the next block.  When I try to play back, say a solid moving from left to right all that happens is a rapid jumping back and forth.  Been to the help pages, been on the Cow pages and am still asking for the solution.
Any clues?
Just launched AE and discovered I'm looking at one frame intervals, not 10 seconds.  That explains why I get the jumping from frame 0 to frame 1.  Then I tried using the zoom out slider and nothing happened.  Didn't resize the timeline.  Still trying to figure it out if anyone has some thoughts...
Sorry for posting.  The fix was paying attention to the duration of the comp, which was set at 3 frames.  Duh!

Someone would have to look at the file to tell you what's
wrong.
Post a link to the files to get help. (Even just the swf file

  • Transferring a CS3 25P timeline to CS4 24P?

    I have a project Shot on a Canon XH-1A at 24P. I have been editing it using CS3 which only had a 25P setting - not 24P. I now have access to CS4 and would like to transfer the project to a 24P timeline.
    When I play back the video on my computer it displays a "hiccup" every second or so, which appears to be a duplicated frame. Is this CS adjusting my 24P to 25P? Or is it an artifact of CS displaying everything at the standard 30 frame video rate?
    Thanks,
    -Phil

    Wow. I wasn't expecting anything like this. Thanks for getting back to me. So, and please correct me if I'm wrong, you are saying that my project that I shot in 24P was recorded as 30i by the Canon XH-A1 and that I need to set up my project as 30i on Premiere? And use pulldown? Aren't there several formats of pulldown?
    The project is an independent feature which may be transferred to 35mm film for theatrical release. I shot it in 24P to make that an easy process. Won't it being in 30i format mess that up?
    What is the purpose of the Canon having a 24P setting if it only records in 30i?

  • How to reveal from Project window where clip is used on timeline? CS4

    I've inherited a huge project. One of my tasks is to go through replacing all the audio (done as .mp3) and replace with .wav versions. In the project window's bins I have the .mp3 version sitting next to the .wav version.
    I'm sure I've seen a way that you can select a clip in the project window and get Premiere to show where on the timeline and in which sequence(s) this clip is used. I've searched the help and googled for the answer but can't find it! Have I been dreaming? Is there a way to show whereabouts in the project a clip is used? If there isn't, can anyone suggest a good workflow for me? I have about 150 .mp3s to replace with .wavs...
    Thanks
    Mark

    Mark,
    Great news! I thought that it had been added. I too inherited a major Project and could have used that 1000 times. Unfortunately, I am still on PrPro 2.0 (CS4 was not out then), so I had to do it pretty much manually. Fortunately, many of the Assets were in a semi-logical order, so it was not as tough as your case. Also, I was able to place the old edit into logical Sequences, so I was only working with 1 Timeline at a time, and not the original 8+ hour behemoth, that had been started. This limited my searches to maybe 100 Assets at a time.
    Glad that you found it, and now I can look forward to using it, when I upgrade.

  • InDesign Trouble:  CS4 not opening CS3 file formats

    Hi..
    For some reason, when I try to open a CS3 indesign file format in CS4, it freezes. I tried multiple files and it does the same thing...  Any suggestions out there?

  • Timeline Trouble

    Hi,  I am thinking this has to be an easy answer but after not being able to figure it out for the last several hours, it's time to post. How do I get the main time line and all of the symbol timelines to stop at say 500ms and then have them all start up again after a click event or mouseover event? Right now, the main timeline stops and then will continue on the click event. However all the symbol timelines contine on.
    Thank you in advance for shedding any light on this for me. -Matt
    Here is my code:

    Hi, Matt-
    You're going to have to manage your symbol instances separately; part of the power of independent timelines in symbols is that stopping one timeline does not stop the other.  So, if you have multiple symbols that you want to stop, you're going to have to do something like this:
    sym.getSymbol("mySymbolInstance1").stop();

  • About HD Imovie timeline troubles

    Hello,guys.
    I think that I wan't descriptive enough when I posted before. Sorry,I dont know what else to discribe except that I am using ILife '05. Also I downloaded an Imovie upgrade for my version 5.0.2 last night and today I had a crash while using Imovie.
    Info of the failure took over the screen and I took a picture of it which I downloaded to Iphoto after I shutdown/and turned it on again. Everything its working fine except Imovie. I reads "corrupt stack"! on the top.I really need to know where to start to get rid of these corrupted stack, someone that could interpret all this data.
    Since I have no clue on how to upload it or if it is permmited here,I have no choice but to send it through email to somone. If you would like to help please contact me to [email protected]

    Hi
    As I remember it this is a "bug" and only way around is this.
    • Select clip A and clip B
    • Go up to Advance menu and select Extract Audio
    • Now go to text tool - insert text - drag the tool name to where the text
    should start in TimeLine
    Now it will not tuch the audio.
    Text can only be dropped where there is a sceen/clip brake.

  • HD IMovie timeline troubles

    Hello, everyone!
    Lately, when play my project the playhead skips and jumps over every picture and AVIs. My first project whent all perfect but now it wont even go smoothly over transitions.
    I re-install ILife in full , the same version that I had when I did the first project but really I dont see any improvement.
    Greatly appreciated will be any help on this topic.

  • Timeline troubles

    Hello!
    I am a fairly new user of Captivate and am running into some
    timing problems. I am using Captivate 2.0. I inserted an animation,
    another published captivate file (.swf), into a second captivate
    project. The animation I inserted has rollover captions and are
    setup to show for 200 seconds. When viewing the animation captivate
    file the rollover images look perfect. When inserted into the new
    captivate project the rollover captions display for approximately 5
    seconds only. The particular slide in the captivate project is set
    to show for 220 seconds. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly?

    Hi SMTrainer and welcome to our community
    Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. Where are things set for 200
    seconds? The whole of the Captivate .SWF that has the rollovers
    before you drop it into the second Captivate? Or the slide where
    the .SWF with the rollovers has been inserted?
    One thing I would suggest for this type of situation is to
    configure the first Captivate, the one with the rollovers, so that
    the slide has a Click Box object on it to keep it in a paused
    state. The Click Box doesn't need to do anything if clicked by the
    user. Just choose "No Action". This should keep it paused and allow
    the rollover interaction. Then you could time that slide for
    perhaps 3 to 5 seconds. Then when you publish that and drop it on
    the new Captivate slide, sort of repeat that process. Insert a
    Click Box or Button that pauses the slide. Then you don't have to
    monkey around with making things 200 or 220 seconds. You would then
    limit to 3 to 5 seconds and things should work.
    Hopefully something here helped in some way... Rick

  • Timeline troubles/question

    Hi!
    I have some questions..
    (See image for more information...)
    1.When the animation plays reverse, i want it to play faster..
    Is there any way I can do this? By code maybe?
    2.Also. When the animation played backwards, and then forewards again I want it to stop at 'mouseover'.
    How can I do this?
    If i put a trigger stop between them, it also stopt when it is playing backwards.
    I really hope someone knows how to do this!
    Thankyou,
    Kind regards, Ellen

    1. I have suggested a solution to this on your other post.
    2. Add the stop() as a mouseEnter/mouseOver event on the symbol that is being animated that will stop the playhead at its current location, a mouseLeave play() will restart the animation but in the 'play' direction, You could then use a variable to determine which direction the playhead was moving and always send it in the same direction when mousing out, if you need/want it to do that. Hope this helps

  • Can I Edit SD and HDV footage at the same time in CS4?

    I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder and I'm looking at buying a Sony HDR-HC# HDV 1080i camcorder to use as a second camera on video shoots.  Can I edit footage from both cameras on the same timeline in CS4?    I'm using a PC, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with an Intel (R) Pentium (R) 2.80 GB processor with 2.5 GB of RAM.  Thanks!
    Lewis B.

    Do you already have CS4 ?
    CS5 is days away.  9 Days for the first look.
    I have a Windows XP 2005 with 3.4GHz with 4GB of ram and it cant handle HDV for HD video.
    I have a Sony HVR Z1U and use the in camera down-rez and edit in SD just fine.
    Like said before you really need a new computer to edit the HDV but if your going to DVD then your only using SD anyway.
    But to answer you question you can mix formats with CS4.
    As you can see my system ranks second from last on Bills Benchmark tests.

  • Why is Exporting a BMP So Difficult in Ppro CS4

    Do I really have to go thru so many steps just to make a bmp from the timeline in CS4. I must manually select all the settings for the aspect ratio and uncheck sequence otherwise thousands of bmps are generated ans then I have to wait for Media Encoder to open and then I have to press start, etc. Even making a wav is now a pain in the butt. It was so simple in all other versions of Premiere, am I doing it wrong?

    Unfortunately, yes. When Adobe took AME out of PrPro, they added many requested features, like batch Exporting, but forgot the Export Frame. It was highly convoluted. CS4.1 (IIRC) did simplify things a bit, but with one omission (IMHO) - the Add to Project function from the days prior to CS4. Yes, you can still get it into the Project, but there is navigation and Importing involved.
    About half of the time I want the still into the Project, and half the time I do not. I liked the ability to decide, prior to CS4. Maybe CS5 will add back sort of a "one-button" process, with selectable defaults. Kind of like the old Export>Frame, or Export>Movie. Who knows?
    Good luck,

  • Shortcut:  Toggling between Program monitor & timeline?

    Can anyone please rell me whether there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle/switch between the program monitor window and the timeline in CS4.  An internet search suggests that it is Crtl + Tab, but that's not working on my laptop.
    Premiere provides Shift + 3 as a timeline toggle, but that is designed to cycle through available timelines, rather than switch between windows.
    There doesn't seem to be an option to create a custom shortcut.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jeff.  Thanks for the reply.
    I already use Shift +3 but I was really looking to toggle between the two - such as Ctrl + Tab (which doesn't seem to work!)

  • Define AS for buttons on a different keyframe?

    This probably has an easy answer, but I seem to be unable to find it myself.
    On frame 1 in the Timeline (in CS4), I have this actionscript:
    var clickAreaLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.example.com/?=1");
    btn_clickArea1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickArea_click1);
    function clickArea_click1(event:MouseEvent):void
            navigateToURL(clickAreaLink1,"_blank");
    On a different keyframe, I have my button labled “btn_clickArea1.” When I run the movie I get the error “Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.”
    My guess is because the button is on a different keyframe than the actionscript. However, I have four buttons that will need to be constantly updated, so I want the actionscript all in one place to easily update them. Is there a good way to get this to work?
    Thanks for your help!

    The objects you want to have involved with code have to be in the presence of that code when it is processed in order to work.  So if you want all your code in frame 1, then all your content that uses that code must be in frame 1.  There is nothing wrong with spreading your code out as needed though.  As long as you dedicate a layer or two for actionscript, it should be easy to locate.
    You set the "visible' property of movieclips, buttons, etc to true or false to control their visibility
