Fit Clip – Still Images – Ignore Source Outpoint
I often drop still images into my timeline and the Premiere automatically puts and in & out on the source. I put In and outs in the timeline where I want it to go.
When I insert/overwrite into the timeline I get the “The source is shorter than the destination” alert box. I want to check “Ignore Source Out Point” but it is greyed out. If I cancel and remove the out point from the source it places on the timeline correctly.
My question is, is there a way to enable the “Ignore source Out point” option, OR have Premiere NOT automatically add an out point on the source?

Hi Jake,
If you don’t like the default behavior, feel free to create a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish Otherwise, there is a keyboard shortcut for removing a set Out Point. Ctrl+Shift+O (Windows) or Opt+O (Mac OS).Thanks,

But why is the option greyed out? It’s greyed out on video clips as well. Can you give an example of when it wouldn’t be greyed out?

Bret,
Check out this thread on the Adobe forums: https://forums.adobe.com/message/5804663#5804663
It explains how to get the option to Ignore Source Out Point in the dialog box. There is a preference that exists in Premiere Pro CC that is not in previous versions.Thanks,

Chiming in on this old thread as I’ve been trying to get this resolved for a while now. Kevin thanks for the link to the adobe thread, but that thread discusses selecting one of the two source options but not how to get to those options when they are grayed out, which they remain on my system no matter what I do.
I’m missing something somewhere, as currently PP prioritizes sequence out point over source out point when I’m looking to swap that priority. It makes sense when it’s needed, in the even that the full source duration won’t fit the sequence in/out duration, but how can I get PP to override source out point otherwise?
As always, I’m eager to find out I’m missing something ridiculously obvious…
Thanks.

Hi again Kevin, I’m still trying to solve this dilemma so I’m bumping this thread back to life.
How can one get the Ignore Source In Point and Ignore Source Out Point to not be grayed out in the Fit Clip dialogue box?
Is it possible to do or not possible? It must be possible or they wouldn’t even be there as options, right?
Thanks!

Solved my own question, finally. In case others are wondering this too…
With the “Fit clip dialogue opens for edit range mismatches” checked ON (under Preferences/General):
If you attempt a four point edit with the source In/Out SHORTER than the sequence In/Out, the options for ignoring source in point and ignoring source out point are grayed out and cannot be selected.
With the source In/Out LONGER than the sequence In/Out, those selections are now active and can be chosen. As can the option to “Always use this choice.”
