Video usage in project window

Hi - I used to like the columns for video usage and audio usage in the project window in PPro 1.5 - in CS3 they're gone - anyone know if there's a way of getting them back?

On the flyout menu of the project panel, choose "Edit columns..."

When playing movie in project window it cuts part of the video screen

I purchased Call Recorder for Skype to record my girls violin lesson over skype with their teacher in Bermuda. Now I need to cut certain parts of the video so we can play it during practice .. I don’t want to play the entire video. I had the Record Video set to "Two Track (Advanced)". I imported the recorded .mov file into iMovie. Then I skimmed the video and selected the part that I am interested in and dragged it to the project window. Now when I play the movie in the event browser, it plays the movie as I would like to side by side. However when I play the segment that I selected in the project window, it cuts 1/2 of each window which is not what I want as I would like to able to play this clip showing both the teacher and the student. What do I need to do???? Help!!!!! Thanks!

Hi Runa,
There are a couple of things you need to check. Firstly, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip (segment). Select "Cropping, Ken Burns and Rotation" from the pop-up menu. In the top left corner of the Viewer, click on "Fit".
Secondly, in iMovie's menu go to File>Project Properties. In the window that opens select the "Timing" tab. For the items "Initial Photo Placement" and "Initial Video Placement" select "Fit in Frame".
You may need to follow only the second suggestion, as this may fix the whole project for you. Otherwise, use the first suggestion for each of the clips (segments) in your project.
Also, in the Project Properties General tab ensure that you have set the correct Aspect Ratio for your project, that is, Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3).

.MOV video clips do not appear in project window

I've imported .MOV clips but while they display thumbnails, they do not appear in the project window. Is there a way around this?
Thanks, David

By complete accident I discovered that I had to display advanced tools and then select the edit tool. Then when I selected a clip in the thumbnail window it appeared in the project window. However, I'm now puzzled about how to edit the start and stop points of a clip. Before I got the clips in the project window I was able to select a portion of a clip and clip the reject (X) tool and then move the rejected portion to the trash. Now that the clips are in the project window I'm trying to use the tool to trim the start and end of the clip but it isn't cooperating. What's the process?
Thanks for your help.

2014 Video Usage Bug?

I just updated to version 2014.0 / 8.0.0
Win 7 Pro
I frequently use the Video Usage feature in the project window by clicking on the arrow next to the number of instances shown to locate all instances of a clip in a sequence(s).
Since updating to the new version, when I click on the arrow nothing happens. Has this feature been removed or is it s bug? I certainly hope it has not been removed, I rely heavily on this feature.

Video Usage column

I'm using PE10 on a two-year-old iMac computer.
I'm currently working on a large video project using lots of photos and video clips organised into a number of folders.
I've just notiiced that all but the folders i've used most recently have suddenly stopped showing any numbers in the Video Usage and Audio Usage column. This means that I have to rely on my memory to tell me what media I've used. In a project this size - and with my memory - that's difficult.
I don't know how why this information has disappeared (I just hope it doesn't cause a problem when I archive the finished project). More immediately, I'm wondering if there's any way of restoring this information.
If anyone has any ideas - thanks!

What we talking about in the way of numbers already showing in the Project Media List View Video Usage column number....10, 200, more for a given file? It seems to take value at least to 2000...have not tried further.
If you are doing a copy/paste involving a large number of duplicates, the change of number in the VIdeo Usage column can be slow. Often clicking on the panel for the file involved or another updates the number.
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I am thinking, if all else fails, flushing the preferences might be worth a try. In Windows, one can do that by deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file. If a Premiere Elements Mac user does not come up with the route, I will search it out.

How to understand the "New Item" icon at the bottom of the Project window

I'm trying to understand that small "New Item" box at the bottom of the project window better. I'm aware that when I bring video clips into my project, if I drag them to this box, PPCS5 will add them to the timeline. I partially understand the positive reasons for doing so, primarily that PPCS5 will correctly identify the type of video being brought into the project. I know that if I select all my clips and drag them to the new item box, that all my clips will be added to the timeline at the same time and all together on the timeline. There are many things I don't understand about it. If I add my clips one by one using the "New Item" icon, they will show up as separate sequences on the timeline. If you try to add another clip at a later time, can that clip not be added using the "New Item" box? One other question is what would be the advantage in putting clips on the timeline as separate sequences? And one further question is do you drag other items to this box besides video clips? Like music, and still images?

Dragging something to the New Item icon doesn't just add that something to a sequence. It actually creates the correct sequence for the something to be added to.
You do this once, when you need a new sequence. Anything else you want to add to that sequence you do by other means.

Is there a way to disable project window scrolling after creating a new subclip?

I am often editing short aftermovies from parties and my workflow is as follows:
1) Capture and stash movies in a single folder (there's very little possibility for planning particular shots or tagging videos on the fly)
2) Ingest media into Prelude and go through the clips identifying useful footage, subclipping and tagging
3) Rough cut (optionally) and fine cut to music in Premiere
Now step 2 is where I'm being really slown down. I would ideally like to go through all the media as quickly as possible. Usually there's just one subclip per a clip.
However every time I add a subclip the whole project window just scrolls down and focuses on the new subclip and to continue to the next clip I have to scroll up, tediously look for it or search for it by numbers.
I thought that ordering the clips by date would solve this problem as I was expecting the focus to go to the subclip which should appear right next to the current clip. However there's an obvious bug in Prelude there. When you add a subclip while having Date created ordering on this happens: Subclip is first created at the bottom as with User ordering and the window focuses on that, then the subclip instantly moves after the current clip but the view doesn't refocus, leaving me in a possibly even worse situation.
It would be awesome to either (or all):
Remove the focus bug and refocus on the reordered subclip instantly
Add an option to disable the automatic scrolling of the Project window
Add keyboard shortcuts to go to next/previous clip
Add more filtering options to the current Subclip only such as Clip only, Non-tagged clip only, Tagged clip only (ideally through some custom filter option with checkboxes so you could tailor them to your needs)
Still it's a huge step up from the Premiere's multi window media organization nightmare but certain (possibly quite common) use cases are still very unrefined.
If any of the above mentioned options are in there already, please let me know, thanks
By the way when talking about Ordering related bugs, try creating a new Bin when having Date created sorting on. The Bin appears with its rename on, then it jumps to the top and voila you're renaming the last clip in the list. Like what the hell guys, do you even test the UI or is the CC turnaround too quick for that?

Hi, not sure if you'll see this post but the option has been moved to the 'Universal Access' Preference pane in settings.
This drove me utterly mad until I realized that.
Hope this helps!

Show "Video Used" in Project List view?

Is there anyway to show the "Video user X times" feature, that is available in the icon video, in the list view?
I know you can see this information, in list view, for the selected clip (using the preview area) but I want to look at a bin of 100 clips and be able to quickly pick a clip that hasn't been used. Currently I have to go through one at a time in list view or go to icon view but then I don't see any of my meta data which is also vital to pick the right clip.
Seems no reason why this shouldn't be available as a column in the list view?

does the "video usage" metadata work? can turn on that column by right clicking one of the columns and choosing Metadata display. video usage is under premiere pro project metadata category.

Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore. Whats Wrong

Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.
Good luck,

Issue with Loading Multiple Videos within a Project

I am assembling a Captivate project that needs to include several videos that a quite large. When the entire project is written as a Windows executable projector file, the player does not open because the operating system cannot allocate enough memory to open the file.
I was adding these videos to the project through the "Event Video" option and browsing to the FLV located on my computer. When the Windows projector is created, it loads the entire video into the executable file.
Is there a way to load a SWF animation that has reference points to the video (located within the same directory as the SWF) so that when the Windows Projector file is written, it does not need to embedd the entire video into the executable file?
I am currently using Captivate 6.0.1.240.

Just regarding point 2.
You will probably find that working in manageable sections (story logical and file size) will be best practice for all post subsequent to edit.
Ughhh, that is my concern! I'm hoping by having it broken down and organized in self-contained sequences, and by story arc--Prologue, Act One, Act Two...that this will work as good manageble sections as well as easier for story layout.
I hope by only bringing in each edited rough cut sequence into the Dolly Master Project File it will keep the Master file mean and clean. Also, the reason I started with Prelude was in hopes that I would have a more organized structure for editing, but I am not sure if by bringing in the Prelude rough cuts and supporting footage files if that helps or undermines the too large file issue. However, I really do not have a clue as to what things will really make my files too large or too complicated.
A lot of hope there I know!
I try to make it a habit of hitting ctrl-s everytime I complete an action. I have auto-save set to every 15 minutes. I save the project file on two internal hard drives and one external hard drive. At the end of the work day or more often if I have accomplished a lot I email myself a dated/timed copy of the project files. I'm thinking it might be better if I get another dropbox account to have another offsite back-up.
Well, last night I took a Leap of Faith in Adobe Prelude. I established my project files and sent all of my rough cuts to the appropriate project files. I have to say it was pretty painless. In Prelude right-click rough cut > left-click send to Premiere Pro > wait a few seconds.
The only drawback is that I could not select a bin in Premiere in which to send the footage and rough cuts. So I had to drag the footage/rough cut files to the appropriate bin. This would be a nice feature to add.
Here is a link to a pic of my desktop.

So now the story layout begins! Thanks again and again!

Can't drag imovie clips to project window to export them

I just finished interviewing someone remotely where he was recording his video on his mac with imovie. The recording went great but when he tried to drag the raw footage to the project window so he could export them to me, he could not drag them. They just kept bouncing back. He does not need to edit the clips just export them to me. The files are not unusually big. Why can't he drag them to the project window?

Hi
Did he first - in the Project window - create a new project (PLUS SIGN - down to the right) ?
must do that first
then open this new project and drag event clips to it (I keep alt-key down when clicking down on one event clip to get all of it)

Project window darkens when trying to add voiceover in iMovie '09

I am trying to add a voiceover to a short video in iMovie '09, but every time I open the Voiceover window, the project window darkens so I cannot click on the clip where I want the voiceover to begin. I have looked at all the tutorials but can't figure out what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks!

This is what happens when I try to add a voiceover:

IMovie showing one thing on the project window and different one in preview

I have create an iMovie project with iMovie 08. On the project window I could see my pictures as I have imported, in the perfect order and with the correct orientation. I just installed iLife09 and I opened the project on iMovie09. The project window shows pictures in a random order, the orientation of some pictures are wrong (upside down, portrait etc). But to my surprise if I play the video or move the mouse over the pictures it shows the correct picture on the preview window.
What's wrong ?

I'm having a similar problem. Any fixes?

No Playback on videos in the Project (PE9)

Hello
I need some help with a serious problem. I have been having some problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for a while. Whenever I go to playback a video in the project the video won't play, but the audio will. This goes for what is in the timeline and the actual videos (not in the timeline) when trying to replay them in the program. Also whenever I move the marker (the thing that represents where you are in a video) if the video changes it is extremley choppy. Please help. I am running a Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC with an Intel(P) Celeron(R) CPU 900 @ 2.20 GHz. I have 2.00 GB of Installed memory (RAM). I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. My system type is 64-bit. Please help.

1st, you need lots more memory... 2Gig is BARELY enough to load Win7 64bit... with nothing left over for programs
2nd, a notebook will usually have only one 5400rpm hard drive... you need a 2nd 7200rpm hard drive for all of your video files (see below)
3rd, depending on the type of file you are trying to edit, you may simply not be able to edit at all with a Celeron
4th, what is the type of video graphics adapter, and what is the driver version?

Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything

Premiere Pro CC crash when dragging media from project window

I have had so many problems with CC (2014) since the 8.1 update. The latest problem is interacting with media in the project window. In any version of PP (7, 8.0.1, 8.1), when I attempt to drag media from the project window to the timeline i get the "Premiere Pro CC has encountered a serious error..." crash. I am running a Macbook Pro i7, 16gb of ram, Nvidia GT 750m graphics card, on OSX Yosemite. I have tried clearing the media cache and clearing settings on startup with alt+shift. I have been using 8.0.1 because of previous problems with serious ui lag on 8.1. I have had more problems with PP in the last 3 months, than in the previous 7 years I've used it.

Hi Huzzahbeard,
Just out of curiosity. How is it that your software is hindered by a plugin in Chrome. I .... I have no words. This solved my problem and thats great except. Push Bullet is the issue! No, what is premiere even doing with my browser that push bullet would cause problems.
I looked at our bug database and there is no real "reason" listed as to why this particular issue occurs (and it does affect a couple of our other non-video applications—InDesign and Illustrator, as well).
A common troubleshooting step for when things go wrong with an application is to remove any recently installed applications or plug-ins. As I understand it, certain applications share resources which can affect each other. Since Chrome extensions are created using Javascript, I assume that is the area of conflict.
Thanks,
Kevin
