Why no edits?!

Just set up a brand new Imac and have experienced multiple serious issues to the point where I'm wondering if CS is a good product at all.
I upgraded to the creative cloud in the belief that any bugs I was experiencing had been worked out. My first install on this maxed-out Imac was 5, but it was a 10 in terms of problems.
As of yesterday, I've experienced freezes, failure to play back, lost settings, baffling returns to normalcy, and, oh yeah, IT WONT EDIT!
Not in PP mode, not in FCP mode, nothing.
I've searched help, I've searched the Cow, etc, bupkus.
I'm getting desperate enough to consider reaching out to the boys in Delhi, but after about 16 hours on the phone and chat with them, I know they are attentive, nice enough, and virtually useless.
So how do I make this NLE actually CUT?
New install, Cloud 6, Imac pimped.
Yes, the tracks are selected in the TL.

Help please. No progress here.
This is the situation:
A fresh, Creative Cloud install of Premiere 6 etc is misbehaving on a nice new iMac.
At first it wouldn't edit at all using keyboard commands either in PP mode, (,-.) or FCP mode (f9, f10), or the source panel edit buttons.
Suspecting some sort of a conflict, I cleaned out some remaining fragments of CS5 that had not uninstalled.
This improved things, and now PP behaves AS IF it's performing edits using the source panel buttons only, not with keyboard commands.
However, no media is populated onto the timeline.
Thinking I need to uninstall and reinstall, but prior to that I'd like to hear from you.

    Why did edit disappear on my iPad mini after the later os update?

    That depends on how it is configured in the app, PJL. You can set it up to include the trash icon and go directly to Trash. Both my gmail and icloud accounts are set up that way.

  • Why does "Edit In..." sometimes not connect to Photoshop?

    Why does "Edit In..." sometimes refuse not open the file(s) in Photoshop?  This happens with any of the functions from LR5 to Photoshop CC, on MacOS 10.7.  Usually works again after restart, which sounds like a memory issure or something like that. 

    Not sure why, not without more details.

  • Why is Edit in Photoshop command missing or refers to Photoshop Elements?

    Q Why is the Edit In Adobe Photoshop command in the context menu missing when I right-click on a photo in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?
    or
    Why is the same command under the Photo menu grayed out, and in the External Editor tab of the Preferences the upper box is labeled "Edit in Photoshop (Not Found)"?
    See linked
    Adobe Technote for more information

    I just realised what I was doing wrong.  I installed Photoshop Elements 10 but I was launching Photoshop Elements Editor not Photoshop Elements.  I had no idea there were multiple applications!  Now that I have launched the main Photoshop Elements Application (it then brings up a dialog where you select organize or edit) the "Edit in Photoshop Elements 10" menu item has appeared as expected in Lightroom.

  • *HELP* why are "edit in photoshop" images smaller?

    Ok, for the life of me (I've searched this forum high and low and can't find an answer) I cannot figure out why when I go to "edit in phototshop" my images end up being around 7x13 instead of full size. I always import the images in full resolution (from my Canon 5D).
    Of course I can select the entire catalog and "export" and change the size to whatever I want to but I'm afraid when I'm opening them up in CS5 from LR3 that I'm losing image quality.
    So I guess I have 2 questions:
    Is there an adjustment that will allow me to "edit in" in FULL file size in CS5?
    If not and I save the files in CS5, then I see them edited in my LR catalog and I go to export them and make the image size larger (say 20x30 from the 9x13) that it opened up as in CS5, is there IQ loss?
    Hope that made sense.
    Any help is appreciated!

    You are not the only person who has been confused by this.
    For digital images, the resolution in pixels per inch, or pixels per centimeter, are truly meaningless. They do not affect the exported photo in any way. The same is true for the Edit In ... dialog box. The result of an "Edit In ..." is always a digital file.
    If you are exporting with the goal of printing an image, then you could set the units to inches, and select pixels per inch, and for example, if you wanted to print a 4x6, you could set the long edge in the Export dialog box to 6 inches and the resolution to 300 pixels per inch, and voila you get an image that has 1800 pixels on its long edge, this downsamples the image, and may not be strictly necessary if your image is actually larger than you need.
    A "Better" way to think about this is the following example — my image is going to be printed at 8x10 inches, I want it to print at 300 pixels per inch, therefore I multiply 8x10 time 300 and discover that I need 2400x3000 pixels (or more!) in order to print properly.
    So with the above explanation, I still have no idea why Edit In ... contains a resolution box, as you can always change the final size in your auxiliary editor. Having a resolution field in the Export Dialog box might make some sense in printing situations.

  • Why does Edit mode shift content?

    When ever we go into edit mode the navigation shifts out of place.
    We've noticed that Contribute CS5 is adding extra code to the live page which doesn't appear in the files on our computer.
    This is the code that's being added that seems to be causing the issue.
    (<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p>).
    Is there a fix for this?

    This issue was resolved by changing the Paragraph Spacing option setting in
    the Administrator Setting area (as Dominic mentions). Thanks for the quick
    feedback and link to resolve it!
    It does not seem obvious to me why this setting should cause the issue that
    we were seeing. Not that I need to understand the mechanics behind why this
    is the case, but in order to help other people resolve this issue if they
    encounter it I'm wondering if you can elaborate on the paragraph spacing
    blog... either by adding a section on "Related Issues" or tag it with
    keywords like "extra spacing", "contribute inserts code", "spacing issues",
    etc.

  • Why no 'Edit Original' with raw or dng files?

    Is there a reason Lightroom does not allow the ability to use an external editor on the original raw/dng file? Why force people to use the Capture NX raw converter if they would like to use their camera specific converter instead?

    This is a great point. There are many instances where I need to use a camera manufacturer's conversion software because I am unable to get similar results in Lightroom (Still a problem in LR3 - many posts about this in these forums).
    I was going to write about a tip for a workaround, but instead I actually uncovered a very unfortunate behavior in LR3.
    Previously, in LR2.x, you could drag any thumbnail from the Grid view onto the app of your choice in the dock. It would immediately open the original file (including RAW images) in that editor, and you could then save a Tiff to be re-imported into LR, or whatever you wanted to do. It was great flexibility, and got around having the formal ability to assign an external editor for RAW files (which by the way I agree, is necessary functionality, and should be included).
    NOW, in LR3, this behavior has been shut down. You can no longer drag thumbnails from the grid view onto an external editor.
    Adobe Lightroom team - this is a huge mistake. Please restore the old functionality. You should know - trying as hard as you do, your RAW rendering is still not the only game in town. I own your product, along with five other RAW editing applications. Sometimes I need to try each one to see how a particular image works out. I still prefer to use Lightroom as my cataloging software. This will change if you start to close things down to force users to stay in your ecosystem.
    Apple Aperture takes a similar approach - when you drag an image onto an application, you only open a jpeg preview of that image, not the original RAW file. This is one of the reasons I ditched Aperture and moved to Lightroom. I liked the flexibility. Now that this has been taken away, it gives me another reason to consider passing on this upgrade. Please give this some thought. You do not have all the answers for RAW rendering, and realistically, unless camera manufacturers standardize, you probably never will. Give us back our flexibility, or better yet, build it in formally as the original poster suggested.

  • Why are edit (Cut/Copy/Paste) controls not active?

    I am new to QT. I am trying to cut up a large mpeg file (created by converting and IFO file from a DVD) into small video clips. However the main editing controls (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, delete and trim to selection) are all de-activated. I don't have this problem with other mpeg files.
    Any ideas why?
    Dell Notebook Windows XP

    MPEG-1 and 2 are playback formats and can't be edited using QuickTime Pro. It can't extract or export the audio portion from these muxed track formats.
    MPEG Streamclip (Free) can convert MPEG to QuickTime formats and can also do basic editing.
    You'll need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20) and the software above to convert DVD (MPEG-2 format).
    The component can't convert or open CSS encrypted (Hollywood) DVD's.

  • Why does edit button says 'delete' or 'apply'

    In iCal when I create a new event and begin to edit it, the btton on the lower right of the event window seems to sometimes say 'delete' and at other times 'apply'.  Can anybody explain why this is or if there are any rules which govern this behaviour?  On more then one occassion I've entered the details of a new event (or edited an older one) and then unwittingly hit the 'delete' button and lost the lot.  Driving me nuts!

    Hi,
    Same problem. Very annoying. I have made a personnalized title using Motion. And everytime I use it in FCPX, it crashes. The worst of all : I am unable to open the current project. I have found that if I removed the preset made with Motion, the FCPX would open, but a missing title alert. S the only way is to place the title again. And after a few atempts, FCPX crashes again. And so on…
    So sorry, no real solutions, but at least I don't feel alone.

  • Why is editing book info not implemented yet? Really?

    When moving books to my iBooks app I noticed that I can't edit the book name, author, etc... Like really? Why? I just wonder how an engineer will think that this is ok, is astonishing that this level of incompetency is part of one of the most valuable brands in the world. We want to be able to edit book data to better organize our library. Name, Author, Publication Year, etc... This isn't rocket science, when books were managed in iTunes this functionality was built in, there are many developers out here and we know that this functionality can be implemented in a few hours. Why hasn't been done? Well, I can't imagine.

    You are right, this does not make much sense in what limits information we can edit in our devices. I don't think this is an engineer decision, most likely a business one or program one to save development time or to really make us get only books from the store, not sure, but it does not matter, editing metadata is something customers miss from Mavericks. I would advise people requesting this feature back at > https://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks.html
    Just praise you like iBooks app and need metadata editing feature back. The more people requesting it, more likely management will considering adding it back.

  • Why does editing the spry horizontal menu on my template alter the spry tabbed panels on my page?

    Most of the pages on my site are created using the same template I developed.  Today, I edited the horizontal main menu on the template, which changed all the pages on my site correctly, except now all the pages with tabbel panels in the body are showing as a bulleted list instead of tabbed panels.  Please Help!?!
    In fact, there is no longer any css styles for any tabbed panels any longer...what did I do?

    Oh Brother, of course!  I should have waited to post until I was out of

  • Why is "edit in Audition" greyed out in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

    Since the CC 2014 launch, the option in in Premiere Pro and After Effects to "edit in Audition" is greyed out. Right-clicking a clip in Premiere Pro doesn't have an option for Audition. I cannot send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted an Adobe Support personnel earlier this evening. They suggested to go into my Mac's System Preferences and enable a root user, log out of my account, log into the root user, shut down and boot up into safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. It is still greyed out, in both user accounts.
    Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled Audition. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Again, never had this issue before.
    I'd appreciate any assistance!
    Thank you!
    Cheers,
    Evan Lockhart

    I may have an answer for you, but not sure if my resolution will work for Macs.
    First, here's my system and initial info. I'm using a work computer, operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 about a week ago, and I also uninstalled the previous versions of all my Creative Cloud programs after installing the new versions (CC 2014 doesn't just update the previous version, it installs a new program and doesn't automatically uninstall the previous CC programs). Not sure if the uninstall is necessary, for this resolution to work.
    Anyway, after I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Audition CC 2014, the Edit Clip in Adobe Audition command was available from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, but was disabled in the right-click menu for the sequence (for the right-click menu, it was visible, but greyed out and disabled). When I tried to use the command from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, it gave me a dialog box to fill out and it created a new folder (titled "Adobe Audition Interchange"). So, the command, when selected from the "Edit menu" obviously uses a different process than the command from the right-click menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new folder created or to fill out a dialog box, I just wanted it to behave like it used to. Basically, when I right-click the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition from the right-click menu, it just opens Audition and the audio waveform is visible.
    I was able to resolve this and get the right-click command working by reading a couple of articles on this same issue from Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and using those to figure out how to fix this in Adobe CC 2014.
    Here's what I did:
    I had to locate my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same location as they were for the previous version of CC (at least, they weren't for me). I had to use the Search command and look for .sesx extensions to locate them.
    Found them under the path C:>Users>Public>Public Documents>Adobe>Audition>7.0>Session Templates. Note that (for me), there was a folder titled 6.0 on the same level as the 7.0 folder. I selected the 7.0 folder as that folder contained the most recent set of .sesx files. I checked the 6.0 folder and those were the .sesx files from the previous version, so I deleted that folder just as a clean-up step.
    I right-clicked on one of the .sesx files in the Session Templates folder and then selected Open with from the right-click menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
    I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 from the list of programs (you may have to browse to find it) and then selected Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. I then clicked OK to submit the configuration command and close the Open with dialog box.
    I restarted Premiere Pro CC 2014 and the Edit Clip In Adobe Audition command was now enabled on the right-click menu and was working properly.
    I wept with joy..... OK, not really, but I'm always irritated at ridiculous regression errors and a lack of thorough testing of new software versions, so I am happy to resolve frustrating issues.
    Don't know if this will help you, or if you already resolved your issue. Either way, good luck!

  • Why my edits don't transfer between lr4 and cs4

    I edit my images for the most part in LR4 then export as a raw file into a new folder. Then when I view the images in bridge my edits don't show up. Do I have to convert to JPEG for my edits to stick?
    Thank you!!!

    Victoria Bampton wrote:
    The short answer is yes.  CS4 won't understand the edits you've done in LR4, because it's so much older.  You'd need CS6 for PS to understand them.
    The original question asked about JPGs. The user could convert the photos to TIF, avoiding the drawbacks of JPGs, which would then work in CS4.

  • Why does edited year in an iTunes music file not permanently save.

    When I edit, change, the year of an iTunes purchased song the year reverts back to the original downloaded year when making subsequent music purchases not related to the edited file.

    Was I suppose to click on the "music" folder that was already in the itunes folder, or click on the "music" folder on the external drive that I thought I already copied to Itunes music. I clicked on the folder already in itunes and all it did was give me duplicates of the songs in my libary and theres some that still aren't being found.
