  • Premiere Pro CS3: Can't drag and drop into project window

    I had been using PP CS3 with Windows 7 64-bit RC successfully for about half a year. Recently I did a clean install of the final, released version of Win 7, and now I cannot drag and drop into the project window.
    I am sure I used to be able to do this. Having to import every clip, instead of just dragging it from Bridge (CS4), is a major headache. Ok, a minor one. But is there anything I can do to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Can I mark my own post as a "correct answer"? 
    I just discovered the problem isn't PP CS3 at all.
    The problem is Bridge CS4. Or, more accurately, how I am running it.
    In order to do drag and drop from Bridge, it needs to be executed in "Run as administrator" mode.
    So, fantastic! There is an quick, easy solution that works.

  • Why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
    To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

    I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
    I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
    I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

    Hi Pete,
    You can obtain scripts here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
    You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

    Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,
    Rob

  • Why cant I drag and drop my pictures into an order I want to display them

    Why can't I drag and drop my pictures into an order that I want to display them ? The 'manual sort' option does not seem to be 'lit' nor does the 'reset manual sort' what am I doing wrong please.
    ps
    Beginning to wish I had stuck with a PC !

    If you prefer a PC use it. No one here cares one bit
    As to iPhoto, unless you take a few minutes to actually learn how to use it then you will never be happy. Same with any new PC program that you do not understand. Or a new car for that matter
    A great place to start your education is here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
    As to your specific issue, trivial. Make an album of the photos and manually drag them to the order you want. Events simply do not work that way
    Try to drive your car in Park and you get nowhere because that is not how it works. Any time you use a product incorrectly you will have poor results

  • Certain Numbers templets allow you to drag and drop contacts to populate cell data, how can I create that functionality in my own tables?

    Certain Numbers templets allow you to drag and drop contacts to populate cell data, how can I create that functionality in my own tables?

    If you haven't come across the workarounds thread you may find helpful tips there on this and other ways to work with Numbers 3.
    ronniefromcalifornia discovered how to bring contacts into Numbers 3. As described in this post:
    "Open Contacts
    Select all the cards you want
    Copy
    In Numbers, in a table, select cell A1
    Paste
    Boom. Works great. Even brought in the pictures. Cool."
    So instead of drag and drop, just select in Contacts, copy, and paste into Numbers

  • How to allow visitors to drag and drop photos

    I don't know what it is called (let me know the term if you know) but I would like to learn how to design a web page that allows the visitor to move things around to custom design something -- ie. drag and drop images in the website. My wife designs jewelry and I have seen some sites that allow visitors to drag and drop beads onto a bracelet to design their own bracelet.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Please ask real technical questions instead of generalized and visualized questions.
    Seen the technical level of your questions as far, I highly recommend to stop immediately with that visual editor and start writing code yourself. Don't brainlessly drag'n'drop as long as you don't understand at all what happens behind the scenes. You would only get yourself in deeper trouble after all.

  • Adobe will not allow me to drag and drop.

    Adobe will not allow me to drag and drop.

    Ok, yes, you are correct. Adobe Reader has never allowed you to re-order pages by drag and drop of the pages.
    This feature is found in Adobe Acrobat.

    NTFS is your problem.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.

    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

    Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
    I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
    And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

    Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
    como lo dice aqui :

    3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
    y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
    mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
    Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

  • ITunes on Vista HP will not allow me to 'drag and drop'

    iTunes on Vista HP will not allow me to 'drag and drop' saved mp4 or mp3 files into any playlist.
    As I am totally new to Apple products please help me.
    Thanks

    Okay...no replies as yet so I've been having a play.
    I have the latest version of iTunes from the Apple site and my tracks have been downloaded from the net into MP4's in one file.Now,if I try and 'DND' into any of the music folders nothing happens....EXCEPT when I hover he cursor over 'iTunes DJ'....when released the tracks can now be found in 'Recently Added' folder,and can be played.
    Now...how do I get them into a folder ? Well,it's time for bed so will play again tomorrow (although I bet i'm up until 1am trying to figure it out !! ).

  • ITunes 11.1 and iOS 7.0.3 won't allow me to drag-and-drop videos onto my iPad?

    I finally updated my iPad 2 (16 GB; Wi-Fi) with the new iOS 7 update (7.0.3), and now it won't let me drag-and-drop items from my iTunes library anymore. It starts to, it seems.  iTunes says "Preparing to sync" and then that just disappears, and nothing else happens.
    Just the other night, I drag-and-dropped some songs onto my iPad (since my iPhone wasn't allowing me to, so I added them to my iPad instead; I'm getting a new iPod touch soon anyways, so this is only temporary), and it worked just fine.  This was before I updated my iOS 7 (iTunes was already at 11.1).
    I've restarted iTunes...many times...
    I've restarted my iPad...many, many times...
    I've restarted the PC...again...
    Checked my storage space; I have plenty for these six videos I want to add on here...
    I have had this iPad set on "manually manage" since I bought it.  It has never known any different.  I've manually synced movies from my old MacBook (backlight dead, and it's not worth the money I'd have to pay to replace it, since this is the second-to-last MacBook Apple made, so it isn't worth much anymore; and this MacBook still has Mac OSX 10.5, so iTunes 11 won't even work with it, so I haven't synced anything from it in MONTHS...), and to my last PC laptop (charging port is broken, so it won't charge even though it works fine when the battery is full; unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to ordering the new part yet).  I've only added three songs from this "new PC" that I'm borrowing.  To my knowledge, it doesn't matter how many different libraries you "sync" to a "manually managed" device, right?  Besides, I just synced music from this third library last week!! 
    What I just don't understand is why it let me the other day, and now it won't.
    And before I updated tonight, my PC didn't even recognize my iPad.  So I pretty much HAD to install that iOS 7 update that had been in my Settings since it came out.
    What is going on? I'm kind of sick of this...the only option it seems is to just completely sync to this one computer, but I'll lose pretty much everything except the few songs I put on here, and my videos.  I have pictures and apps and notes/documents that I DO NOT want to lose.
    Any suggestions?

  • ITunes won't allow me to drag and drop songs into playlists

    Running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4 (80).
    I cannot drag and drop songs within iTunes to create playlists or move songswithin playlists.
    Here's what I've already tried:
    -Reset iTunes Store cahce
    -Log out & in of iTunes Store
    -Quit & Restart itunes
    -Rebuilt iTunes library (by moving iTunes Library.xml file and getting rid of .itl file)
    -Checked info on iTunes folders so that permissions are both read & write
    -Restart computer
    -dug through a discussion of this problem on MacRumors and none of those solutions worked.
    Getting frustrated and hate that I have to dig around in discussions and wait for the community to figure this out instead of Apple answering and solving the problem when their software doesn't work.
    Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Aaaarrgh!

    No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
    Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
    Mac Pro Quad Core
    15" MacBook Pro
    13" Macbook Air
    3 Mac Minis
    Three iPad's
    2 iPhone 4's
    2 iPod Touch's
    But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***.

  • HT1349 new itunes update won't allow me to drag and drop a playlist

    Hi
    I've downloaded the new iTunes update but I can't seem to do a drag and drop with playlists from my PC/mac onto my external Apple devices (2x iPads, iPod and my iPhone)
    Is this lost functionality or a new "feature"
    I don't want iCloud and Home Sharing doesn't work for me...
    Any ideas....?
    I can include songs onto a device but only one at a time wheras I need to drag the whole playlist...
