Why can't I drag clips into the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6?

hi,
I have clips in my bin and trying to drag them into the timeline since the newest update and I cannot. Anyone having this issue?
Thanks,
Renee

Sorry if I am saying something obvious, but do you have a project timeline open?
I suggest you look at a good video tutorial to help you get started with FCP X.
One of the good ones (and free, too) is at Izzy Video: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/

  • Dragging clips into the timeline...

    I recently installed a trail version of Premiere Pro using Creative Cloud. I imported my MTS files as normal; however, they wouldn't be dragged into the timeline for me to edit and every time (and method) I tried it proved impossible. I then tried importing different file types, but they didn't work either. How do I fix this? I am using a Windows PC.

    Hi, I just installed the CS5 Premiere Pro software trial version and it keeps on crashing when I drag my imported clips into the source box?
    It says:
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Please help b/c I would like to use this program for a project due Monday. Thank you so much!

    @ Andrey V.: I tried that but it did not work. I still get the same error message. =(

  • All Clips Are Frozen On The Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6

    I currently cannot rearrange, move, or add effects to any clips in any sequences in Premiere Pro. I restarted the computer, I've Saved new versions of the project files, I've reopened the sequences themselves. I can watch the sequences from start to finish, as well as render them.

  • Why can't I drag things to the timeline?

    I decided to upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 last night after long debate and not wanting to spend the money. Everything is going pretty well now after transferring my project created using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 into the new program.
    But now I just can't figure out why it won't let me drag media, video/audio transitions, or video/audio effects to the timeline or Effect Controls screen. I'm getting the little No Smoking/Ghostbusters symbol next to my cursor when I try to click and drag those items. Can anyone help? I've searched the help file in the program, the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Help.pdf file, did numerous Google searches, and searched this Forum.
    Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? I was trying very hard to not waste anyone's time with a simple question if I could find the answer on my own, but I don't want to waste this entire weekend trying to figure out these problems if there's a simple resolution. :)
    Thanks!

    Hey! Hang on... I was wrong about the Gspot settings being exactly the same. My newly captured video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (800MB file size) also says "File Length Correct". My video originally captured in Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 (it says 500MB file size, but it's actually 8.9GB) says:
    "Corrupt AVI Header:
    This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely to playable (I'm not the one who typed this sentence all screwy and without end punctuation)
    Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 1069461800 at file offset 0x0000fc94"
    Just to check if the other camcorder tape that I transferred in had the same problem, I checked my other video file with a supposedly 1,820MB file size, though it's actually 10.2GB, and that file says "File Length Correct".
    So it looks like this is not a file corruption issue with upgrading from Adobe Premiere Element 3.0 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but possibly a corrupt file. However, it works fine now and I haven't come across any video problem yet.
    This also doesn't explain the bass boost problem, but I am going to focus on that now.
    Thanks everyone for your input, and thank you Steve about the Gspot tip!

  • When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

    I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
    1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
    2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
    3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
    THE ISSUE:
    1) Here is my timeline:
    2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
    Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
    3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
    ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
    1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
    2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
    Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
    Kind regards,
    Aurelien

    This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC

  • Titles stretched in the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6

    I think it has something to do with the aspect ratio but this was never a problem before for me. I did check the aspect ratio and made sure it was the same, but when I bring the title in to the timeline it's stretched wide. When I'm editing the title it looks fine, but when I bring it in, it stretches. Somehow it worked for me on the last video in the series but when I bring it in for the next video in the series with all the same properties it stretches again. I'm up to date with my software. Is anyone else having this issue with titles?

    Can you take some screen shots of the preview area with the title selected and with your sequence selected. Then we can have more info to troubleshoot.

  • Why can't I drag a clip into the timeline?

    I just loaded PP CD5 onto my Win 7 laptop.  I can import movie clips into my project, but I can't drag any of those clips into the timeline.  When I try to drag them, I get a hand with a "do not enter" symbol.  No error messages of any kind.
    I vaguely remember having this same issue when I loaded PP CS5 on my Win 7 desktop several months ago, and I thought I found something on the forums that told me how to fix it, but I can't find it now.  Perhaps a change in the preferences?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Did you actually create a sequence? If not, go to File > New > Sequence, or drag one of your clips to the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel. You can also click that to get the New Sequence option.

  • Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

    I'm new.
    Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

    So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

  • Strange bug -- pull a clip into the timeline, now I can't see it!

    Has anyone else had this happen, and have they managed to fix it?
    After importing video into iMovie 06, when I pull a clip into the timeline I suddenly get only audio, no video. The screen is black. I'm stumped.

    Hi,
    this has happened both to an existing project that I had in iMovie 5 and a new one that I started on iMovie 6. The clips look ok in the clip viewer, then in the timeline they become just black squares which play nothing. I have managed to get some of them to work by removing the transitions that I had in on the clips although I am not sure quite why that worked. As well as just black, I have also had just white when I try to play clips.
    There seems to be a further problem with the transitions in that the application will not let me progress on to a selected clip (which is not black) while there is a transition in place. It continues just to play the last clip that was successfully selected (or stays on a black clip) regardless of what is highlighted. As soon as the transition is removed, I can then view the selected clip which makes me wonder if the issue is tied to the transitions...If you have transitions in your timeline, it may be worth removing them to see if this helps you get the clip visibility back although it has not worked in all cases for me.

  • How come F10 does not put my clip into the timeline ?

    How come F10 does not put my clip into the timeline ?
    When I pressed F10, the sound icon appears instead.
    Am I missing out something ?

    Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
    The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
    I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.

  • How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

    FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
    I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
    In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
    HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
    Timebase: 25
    I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    ML

    Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
    1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
    2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
    3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
    Hope that helps

  • Pasting Clips into the Timeline cuts content?

    Why is it that when I paste a clip into the timeline (video only - no audio)
    it cuts the audio track (sometimes erasing a portion equal to the
    incoming clip)?
    I end up pasting content past the end of the timeline, and dragging
    it far back to the left, which takes up a lot of time...

    I was having the same problem whether I dragged or pasted,
    I thought it was the same root problem, sorry.
    Will try what you recommend.
    EDIT:
    The downward arrow works fine for dragging, but what causes the other arrow?
