SubClip wierdness
IN Premiere CS4
Has anyone else experienced this? ( I may be overlooking something obvious here…)
I drag some footage into the timeline. Then I select in and out points on that clip ( by ‘ctrl k – ing’). Then I right click on the newly created smaller clip and choose ‘make sub clip’ and give it a name in the dialogue box that pops up.
I take that new sub clip and drag it back into the project window. Now when I take that new sublcip into a new (or the old) sequence it is referencing a different part of the original clip….the duration of the new subclip is the same as the length of the subclip i selected but the footage seems to be referencing a diff piece of the original footage.
Any thoughts or tips as to why this is happening?

Alex,
I don’t think you can mark ins and outs. You have to cut the clip out with the razor, then either drag to the project window, or use the right click menu: “Make Subclip”. With your method, you have just copied instances of your original clip.

I’m creating a new (shorter) clip when I cut using control+K in the above instance (I usually just control-K for in and out- but razor works the same).
Now that I have the shorter clip, I right mouse click and choose create subclip.
Great, so far so good, now I have the new sublcip, that I can then drag back in to the project pane for later use.
(Time passes…)
NOW, here’s the wierd part, lets say, I want to grab that sub-clip, I drag it in to a new (or old sequence) and change the speed. When i do that and monitor the clip, I’m looking at different footage from somewhere else in original clip…..wierd….
Anyone else able to replicate this?
Many thanks, again,
Alex

I have exactly the same problem with subclips, except that I didn’t change any speeds. In fact when I click on the subclip in the project list, the icon video shows the correct video, but when dragged to the source monitor or timeline, the audio is correct, but the video is incorrect and from a completely different section of the original clip. I am using Vista 64 with the Xena 2K card.

I’m having similar madness. I started with a 6 minute file (Blackmagic 10bit YUV NTSC) I razored it up in a sequence, created a subclip for each chunk then dragged them into bins. When I play each clip, it starts at 00;00 of the original 6 minute clip.
One thing to note: the file started as an MPEG-2 and I converted it into an AVI in Adobe Media Encoder.
I found 2 ways to get them to play (sort of). The first is to right-click on the subclip and change the Speed/Duration to 99.9%, this caused the clip to be noticeably darker. The second way was use a Blackmagic NTSC DV sequence. I guess I’ll be editing in DV. -
I know this is an older post, but I just ran across the same issue. I create subclips then put them in the timeline. When I change the speed of the subclip, different footage pops up. And if I alter the speed, it changes the footage each time.
I notice you have the Matrox Axio card. I have the Matrox RT.X2, along with Premiere Pro CS4, all with the latest updates (on a Quad Core Win XP SP3 machine). I wonder if Matrox is a factor. At some point, I’ll have to create a non-Matrox project, capture without using Matrox codecs and then recreate this issue and see if I get the same results.
Until then, have you seen a fix for this or a workaround?
Thanks.

Well, right after adding my previous post, I found this. It appears to be a Matrox issue that they’ll try to fix in new releases (some day in the future).

This is the first time I’ve used subclips. I think I’ll just go back to cutting up my original clips and using those pieces, instead of creating subclips from them.
Thanks.
