Weird Screen Re-Draw When Dragging on Timeline

Just downloaded the trail of Premiere Elements 10. My first experience with it was dragging media from my project into the timeline and the screen re-draws in this amazingly buggy way. I see the same behavior any time I try to drag any item on the timeline. I took a few screen shots to demonstrate what I mean. The timeline becomes completely unusable and obscured while the program re-draws the top of the interface over it. System is a MacBook Air Core i5 running OSX 10.7.3 with an external monitor. I've tried re-starting the app with no change. With behavior like this, it's pretty much unusable.

The red lines above the clips on your timeline is an indication of a mismatch between your video source and the project settings -- which likely also accounts for the buggy re-rendering issue you're having.
What model of camcorder did this video come from and what resolution and format is it?
When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select?
Parts 1 and 2 of my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series shows you how to set up a project and properly get media into it.

Clips automatically lengthened when dragged into timeline

Hello,
I'm new to FCP X, just as I am with video editing so please forgive my noviceness!
When I drag clips from the Event Library into the Timeline(?) (The bit at the bottom, where you arrange the clips) they are automatically made longer. For example, one clip has a length of 54 seconds in the event library, but when dragged into the timeline, it has been stretched to 56 seconds. I'm trying to match a band's studio recording footage to the finished audio and it is impossible when the clips are slowed down (and subsequently lower in pitch).
Is there a setting I need to know about to prevent this? How can I fix this problem?
Many thanks

If you mark the 'In' and 'Out' points and then press the 'E' key, the clip should be added to the Timeline exactly as marked in the Event Library.
Press 'Q' to add it above the Timeline as a Connected Clip at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
Press 'W' to insert it into the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position (all the other clips will be pushed along the timeline to make room for it).
Press 'D' to overwrite it to the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
If you try some of these options and the clip duration changes, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

Screen/Artboard Updating When Dragging

Hi all,
I tried to search but couldn't find anything as I didn't know how to phrase it, so apologies if this has been asked before.
Basically, if I drag something to the edge of the screen so that the artboard has to scroll either up/down/left/down, the area that should become visible as I drag, is just white until I let go, when it re-appears. Is this just because my specs aren't up to it or there's a problem with the video card?
Specs:
Illustrator CC
CPU: i5 2500K @ 3.30Ghz
RAM: 16gb DDR3
Video Card: NVIDIA Quadro 600 (up to date drivers)
It's really annoying as I can't see what I'm doing once I drag up/down/left/right...any ideas or solutions?
Best regards,
Chris

Video looks Pixelated when dragged into timeline..

Hi,
I am having some problems and can't figure out what is wrong. I am using FCP 5.0 on a G5. I did some titling in Live type. I imported the titles in and when i look at it on a NTSC monitor it looks great. When I drag it into the timeline it looks all pixelated (even after exporting as quick time movie).
my sequence settings are...
Frame size 720x480
Pixel aspect ratio NTSC- CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field dominance- Lower (I changed it to Upper and nothing happened)
Quicktime video setting
Comp DV/NTSC
Quality 100%
what am i doing wrong? I have to turn this project in and i can't Get it to work. HELP...

You probably want to look at the settings for your livetype project as well as your FCP sequence,

Sequence explodes when dragged onto timeline (Premiere CC)

I am using Premiere Pro CC
When I am dragging a just-created sequence (by nesting clips) back to the timeline or any other timeline, all the clips appear separately, and not as a single object (the nested sequence).
Is that new behaviour in Premiere CC or is there a setting to control that behaviour?

Hi
Great function. But there's one little trouble i'm getting here...
Film was shot in double-system. I synced all shots with audio using Select all > make multiclip > based upon timecode > renamed my multiclips (shot-scene-take).
But when i drop any of those multiclip in a timeline, wether the "Insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" button is toggled or not, i get the original source name for the video (A001_C01_xxxxxx), not the renamed "shot-scene-take" name.
I noticed that for regular sequences, when toggled, the function will allow to keep sequence's name... Any way to keep this for a multiclip?
thanks

Blurred preview image when dragging playhead in Animation Timeline

Hi,
when I move the playhead (of the Animation Timeline) by hand back and forth, the image get's blurred untill I stop dragging. This is really annoying since I need to draw and animate some small shapes in pixel perfect manner and can't see the difference between the frames because of the blurred image.
It is not blurred when I use the "Go to Next Frame" buttons in the timeline window, but this is cumbersome as I have to quickly compare frames by going back and forth.
I understand that PS probably gives me a compressed version of the images so it can actually play the animation fast, but I am talking about a hand full of frames in low resolution (1000x1000) on a Macbook Pro Retina with 16 GB RAM!
My Performance setting are all up (90% RAM allocated to PS, enough free space on my SSD Hard Drive). I also tried different settings for the History and Cache.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Marek

OK, I found out the reason I wasn't hearing the sound when dragging the playhead was due to the fact that in the properties for the sound I had the Sync set
to Event, but I needed to set it to Stream. Then it works fine!

Screen flicker when dragging documents

Does anyone experince screen flicker when dragging files from the Finder to the Desktop?
Here's a short video showing the problem.

I am running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8 (12A206j)) and just started to experience similar issues (see image below) When scrolling up or down a webpage. It happens randomly, and there are only a few applications open (Photoshop, Pages Safari). I have reset PRAM, but am not holding my breath on that...

Yosemite Finder: bug when dragging files in full screen

I use my Finder in full screen mode.
When I drag files through some folders, the entire content of the window moves up so that I cannot see the top files in any column anymore.
The only solution to this bug is to end full screen and then start full screen again.
Is this really a bug or a function I do not understand? And how can I prevent this from happening, because it is really annoying?
I encountered this bug on my old iMac 27" and my new iMac 5K.
Attached to this post is a screenshot what it looks like.

Weird Screen Bloches..only when backlight is on

i was watching a video one day then suddenly little pixels went grey and blocked out part of the screen. and they gradualy got bigger. now its about the size of a unpopped popcorn cournel. and it jumped to the right side of my screen. its weird cause its only when the back light is on that is it visible.
now the splotches are permanent and won't leave

I have the same problem. It started a month or so ago same as yours and has not gone away yet so I think its here to stay.
I noticed at first if I pushed on the screen where the line was at it would break the line up. Mine also has a line all the way across the screen about a quarter way down the screen right in a bad spot to view vidio. I was thinking of contacting that repair site that i saw someone posted, it says they repair the lcd screen for $65. thinking of calling them.
here is the address if anyone else wants to check it out.

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer? Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

Dropping audio when dragging clip from Source Panel to Timeline

I have having issues with audio being dropped when dragged from the Source Panel to the Timeline. Audio is present in the Source Panel and plays great along with video, but when I drag the selected clip to the Timeline it drops the audio.

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.
