Video track that had visible graphics now requires rendering
I've been editing in graphics/slides (video track 2) over the speaker (video track 1), so the finished video cuts back & forth between the person looking at camera and his slides.
This worked fine until just now -- something changed and now when my playhead (in the timeline) plays over one of those graphics, the blue "Unrendered" box appears in the Canvas and I can't see the graphic.
Did I inadvertently change a setting?
Perhaps you have changed the RT setting in the timeline to 'Safe RT' from 'Unlimited RT'

MacBook Pro 2011 - Migrated from MBP that had Flash but now it won't work
Does anyone else have a solution to this issue that does not involve doing a fresh install of Snow Leopard? There was another thread in this forum where the OP indicated that they did a fresh install of SL and that solved the issue. However, that solution is not acceptable to me.
I did a system migration from a Time Machine backup (from my old MBP which was also running 10.6.6) when I purchased my new 2011 MacBook Pro last week. All my applications seemed to be working normally until I attempted to watch a YouTube video in either Safari or Chrome. In both browsers, all I get is a black screen where the video should be playing.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Flash Player for Safari and I am not able to manually update the Flash Player for Chrome since that browser keeps the Flash Player up-to-date automatically. The black screen persists when attempting to watch a video on YouTube. I cleared the site cache for the Flash Player just in case something was buggy there, but the problems remains.
The last thing I tried was to remove Flash Player for Safari entirely by running the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager and choosing "Uninstall." I then re-installed Flash Player but the problem persists.
Finally, I am not running any third-party firewall software. When I right-click on a YouTube video, the menu says "Movie not loaded..."
Any assistance would be much appreciated!Created a new user account on the machine and the problem remained when logged in as the new user.
For giggles, I decided to try to pull up a YouTube video on my wife's 2010 MBP. She hasn't been complaining that she was unable to load content. I was astonished to find that Safari on her laptop is exhibiting the same issues that mine is when going to YouTube in Chrome or Safari. . .black screen where the video should be.
I know I haven't changed any configurations on our router, so I doubted that was the culprit. I can't imagine that an ISP would block YouTube, of all things. To rule these things out, I went back to my laptop and tethered it to my 3G smartphone. Still, even using the cell network, YouTube videos are "blacked out."
Also, I run several VMs, so I tried loading YouTube in Chrome and IE in Windows 7 and they both exhibit the same problem. At this point, I'm dumbfounded that both mine and my wife's MacBook Pros have the same problem when connecting to different networks and the problems persist across OS'es.
Any other suggestions you can think of aside from making a trip to the Apple Store? -
Changing opacity in an adjustment layer to affect just one video track
Premiere Pro CS6
Hi,
I have a sequence of images in one video track that creates an animation and I've added an ultra key effect to remove the background of every image one by one (not sure if there was a better way to do this but anyway). Now I want to introduce this animation slowly with an opacity change but I can't seem to make it work. I've tried adding an adjustment layer and changing the opacity but this didn't work, I only want to change the opacity of this animation, not the other video track as well. So then I added a transform effect to the adjustment layer. I adjusted the opacity within this transform effect in this adjustment layer but I can't seem to make this work well either.
I've tried exporting the animation as a separate file so that I can bring it back to my project as one clip, but I'm a bit lost as to what kind of file to export it to. I tried an AAF file but that didn't load into my main project at all well and I had to force PPro to close.
Thanks.Make your animation in its own sequence.
Then bring that sequence into the EDIT SEQUENCE. ( a Nest) -
Gentlemen,
Does Premiere Pro CS4 has a way to SOLO a video track ?
What I mean by that is , let's say I have 20 video tracks and I wanna see only video track number 10 , I don't wanna go through uncheck other tracks to be able to see what I have on channel 10.
Sony vegas has a little button called "Solo Track" you press that and only that channel is playing, rest is OFF
Thank You !1/8th of a second is not nearly an accurate assessment of lost time.
Here is a real life video editing situation:
You have 20 video tracks. During the creation phase, 12 or so video tracks are 'eyeballed'-visible. 8 tracks are being hidden for the moment.
Now, you want to preview one track using the shift-eyeball method.
Sure, you can view the single track by clicking the eyeball a second time.
And, let's say you just made a SMALL ADJUSTMENT.
BUT! Now that you've finished previewing the temporary track, you want to un-solo the eyeball... and, return to the original 12 track ON and 8 track OFF setup.
Premiere can't do this?
So, you either
a) have to memorize every OFF track so that you can return to your original state before the shift-eyeball solo method; or,
b) don't make ANY adjustments after the solo because an UNDO to the original 12 ON, 8 OFF state will wipe out your small adjustments.
If there is a Real solution to solo-ing a track in CS4, please let me know. Because as an editor who uses many other software packages, I am very frustrated that I can't find an easy way to do something that is absolutely standard everywhere else. -
Alternate between video tracks?
I am wondering if it is possible to have a QuickTime movie alternate between different video tracks. For example, we record both a speaker and their presentation. Currently, we present both side-by-side, but for portable devices, we would like to present them both in one frame so the image isn't so wide.
Is there any way to do this in QuickTime? I know you can set which video track is in the foreground and which is in the background, but I do not know how to alternate them. Is there some kind of wrapper or command/text track that could help us with this? I know we could patch something together after the fact using an editor, but I would like to keep this fairly simply and automated (i.e., record the times to switch during the live recording, and apply those to a QuickTime script or wrapper afterwards).

Yes and no.
Yes it is possible to create MOV files with multiple audio and video tracks that can be keyed to switch tracks via either the built-in language selection (in the QT Player View menu) or using sprite switches embedded in the file for use with a mouse.
No from the standpoint of possibly not serving your needs adequately. Normally the alternate track switching is keyed to changes in the audio track, so switching of audio is actually keyed to an switch in audio track. This means the simplest approach would require paired AV tracks to provide proper control. As I assume you want to be able to switch back and forth while the movie is running, there is the problem of the finite delay in the amount of time it takes to actually make the switch and the fact that sometimes the player may begin to drop frames severely. I.e., sometimes you get a smooth video switch and playback continues smoothly and sometimes you don't. Normally this is not a problem with alternate language/alternate video viewing of a movie since the user can always stop/pause playback to restore a smooth playback.
Is there any way to do this in QuickTime? I know you can set which video track is in the foreground and which is in the background, but I do not know how to alternate them. Is there some kind of wrapper or command/text track that could help us with this?
The simplest form of switching is actually built into QT. If you have QT Pro, you can set the switches very easily. In any case, I am posting a one minute sample file which you can download and to examine the switches in the Properties window (if you have QT Pro) or try playback in the QT Player to simply see how the switching works. I.e., in the case of the sample file, one track pair is keyed to "English" and the other is keyed to "French."

App Store now requires one-click?
has anyone else noticed a change that the app store now requires that you are using one-click rather than cart in iTunes? This happened when purchasing a "free" app from the store. Before I never had that message.
I noticed this after the iTunes 8 / FW 2.1 upgrade but until I am convinced of stability, I'm still running iTunes 7.7.0 + FW 2.0.1.Just an update: I've 'bought' some free apps by clicking the 'buy' button from the dialog box that explains about 1-click. It seems like it treats that purchase as a 1-click purchase (and if it hadn't been free my credit card would have been charged) but it doesn't change the setting in the preferences, so other purchases at the store can be bought using the basket.
Hope this helps. -
I inherited a FCP project from another editor. This one sequence has six video tracks, but there are a couple video tracks that only have one or two clips in them. Is there any benefit to moving those clips down to more populated tracks and deleting the empty tracks?
I'm not clear on the rendering pipeline of FCP and if there'd be any playback or rendering performance boost.If there are performance issues, they're negligible. The real thing here is sloppiness. Sometimes in the heat of battle one creates extra tracks to park stuff on, sometimes they get left there for no good reason. I always park my timeline on the other monitor, with the browser so that I can expand it vertically and see all the tracks because a lot of my work has a lot of video and audio tracks. Every now and again I'll collapse as much as I can.

How can you collapse several video tracks into one track?
Hi, I have a stack of five video tracks that make up an identification placard for a speaker. I need to create motion on this, but don't want to have to do it to every track individually. I believe there is a way to incapsulate all five tracks into one track. Does anyone know the method of doing this?
Thanks so much, BobSelect the tracks and type Option - C, or go to the menu Sequence > Nest Item(s).
That will nest the tracks in to one clip on your timeline. If you need to make changes in the nest, double click on the nested clip in the timeline and it will re-open the tracks that have been nested.

Transitions applied to multiple video tracks
Is there a way to apply a transition, such as a cross disolve, to multiple video tracks by only placing it on the top track and having it applied to the others below it rather than duplicating it on each track below?
For example: Say I have 3 video tracks that all start at the same time. Can I apply only ONE cross disolve somehow and have it affect all 3 tracks so they disolve at the same time? Or do I have to have 3 separate copies of the transition?If the edits are lined up you can command click to select them together and apply the transition. A separate transition gets applied to each track. If you're going to black or to a single piece of video you can also add a transition to a slug or the video on a higher track to go to that.

I have a project that all of a sudden is requiring audio rendering for any audio that
has any change to it.
It wasn't that way at one time but, some setting was changed that now requires rendering
for any change to audio wether its the audio which is part of the video or any music.
Audio is 16bit, 48 khz, etc.Perhaps you inadvertently changed your sequence settings
You could always copy your sequence and paste it into a new sequence. -
HD Audio requires rendering...but it didn't always!
I'm working with XDCAM HD 1080i60 35vbs material. I've working on a quad tower as well as a dual processor macbookpro.
I've been using the trick where you create a sequence, drop all your individual
XDCAM clips into the sequence, change the audio settings on that sequence to mono and then map audio track 1 to output 1, audio track 2 to output 2, same for 3rd and 4th channels.
I then take the sequence icon, drag it into the viewer window, and now I can scan all my clips as if they were one long clip. I then overwrite the clips I want into the timeline.
A problem has arisen that I have not experience previously with the same source material and same machines.
When dropping the clips into the timeline, it now requires rendering. I'm running in UNLIMITED RT at the dynamic and/or lowest quality settings and have told audio to play back in low quality in user preferences, however it still wants me to render.
If I delete channels 3 and 4 from the timeline, I don't have to render, but once I add the third channel back, it wants to be rendered.
If I hadn't done this before on the same machines with the same quality footage without needing to render, I'd think it was a processor power problem, but I know it's not. The problem just started on both a tower and macbookpro where this trick worked fine on previous occassions.
Any input would be appreciated.So basically you are nesting the sequences into new sequences right?
But more to the point. I have some sound effects files that are five channels for surround sound and when I use them I have to render the sequence.
It sounds to me like a nested thing. or the fact that there are five channels. But I am not sure. -
I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.
Hi, BartleyBauer.
If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device. Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
I purchased my 27" iMac in October 2010 after attending classes we discovered my computer needed new graphics card, hard drive, and a total rebuild after owning it only 6 months. Apple rebuilt my new computer, several months later same issues began yet again, slowly Apple began replacing defective parts they installed, my computer still hasn't worked as it should and has been in and out of Apple all the time sometimes they keep it for weeks! running tests?? February 10, 2013 I took my imac back in because it has been taking upwards of 6 minutes to make 1 single edit in imovie after 6 days of editing my project I could No Longer save in itunes, external HD, or export my imovie videos (they are 4 min up to 20 min max) Apple informed me that my Hard Drive was corrupt a bad batch of Seagate HD had been installed and my computer was again affected by this and it needed to be replaced and they couldn't get it to respond at all my itunes library was missing, etc. We saved my videos on my external HD I brought in with me. The Genius bar said they would call me in 3-5 days for me to pick up my computer. 9 Days later not hearing back from them I went in to get an update February 19, 2013 No one can tell me what was done except my HD was replaced they can't answer my questions about my itunes library being reinstated or my videos, music is missing, podcasts, etc. I was even using icloud, empty? They tell me IF I find anything wrong or not working again to just bring it back. My iMovie videos ALL the edits are missing ? I can't find ANY of my videos in my itunes my Library is empty as it is in imovie except for 2 videos? HELP! I can't imagine having to re-edit my entire video with sound effects, fronts, graphics, etc. I spent weeks on this :-( I'm at my wits end with my iMac.... I have searched in my previous itunes library EMPTY ! Waaaah! I want my mommy....
The Apple Store is not responsible for data loss and generally does not do any backups of your data before performing any repairs, though in some cases, as seems to be the case in yours, they guide you to making your own backup. Here's what they say on the "getting service page" (when I've taken a system in for service a similar statement was presented to me when I agreed to the service):
Many repairs require Apple to replace or reformat the hard disk, which will result in the loss of your data. Please make sure you back up your data on a regular basis to minimize your data loss. Learn more about backup options. Apple and Apple Authorized Service Providers are not responsible for any damage to or loss of any applications, data, or other information stored on your Mac desktop while performing service.
Since you say that you backed up your videos before the drive was replaced, why can you not just restore them? And did you not back up anything else?
If you didn't make any sort of backup of your other data prior to taking the iMac in for service, then sorry but your data is almost certainly gone. Regular reliable backups are a must, particularly when dealing with content you spend a lot of time creating. You may be able to re-download any content you purchased from the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, but anything else you'll have to recreate or re-obtain from the original source.
Regards.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,
