Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Can’t duplicate a sequence

  • Can’t duplicate a sequence

    Posted by Richard Miles on December 8, 2015 at 7:58 pm

    I am having a strange problem where I can’t duplicate any sequences in a specific folder. When I right click on a sequence I don’t get the drop down menu.

    If I duplicate that folder, the can get the right click menu on the sequences in the new folder and I can be duplicated.

    I figure it’s something I’ve turned off somewhere.

    Any suggestions?

    I’m running the latest PPro CC 2015.

    Highlight the sequence in the Project window. Go to the Edit menu at the top bar and see if Duplicate is in the list there.

    Open your Sequence, Select All and Copy All (Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C). Open a NEW sequence, and Paste (Ctrl + V). Copies entire contents of sequence into another.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I was trying to determine why these sequences are not behaving as they should as far as right clicking for the pull down menu. I didn’t want to assume they were corrupted.

    Hi RJ,

    Just so you don’t feel alone here, I’m having the exact same issue with a project of mine. Very frustrating and strange. It happened right after I updated to the latest version of Premiere.

    No solution yet…

    I would follow up and say, it’s a random occurrence. I have been able to get the pull down menu happening one second and not the next. I’m not sure what I’m doing differently when it works and when it doesn’t, such as exact mouse placement, or number of attempts, or clicking fast or slow. Weird.

    It’s not random for me. I’m so tired of adobe pulling the rug from under my feet. I don’t want relearn how use my edit and photo apps every couple of months. This is my last year paying for these “features”.

    Hi all, I just updated to Premiere 2015.1 and immediately started having this exact issue. I cannot right-click or control click on any sequence within the project list, which is frustrating because I maintain versions and constantly duplicate sequences. Adobe where are you on this?

    I have found… it might be the location of the mouse pointer. I find if I move around while trying to right click, I sometimes get access to the pull down menu.

    BTW… I also posted a message about this issue on the AE Mail-List Server which is frequented by a number of Adobe folks. I asked if they could bring this to the attention of a PPro team member.

    Cool, thanks for doing that. A workaround I’m using in the meantime, which is still annoying but it works, bring a non-sequence item into the bin, then multi-select both your sequence and that item– right click/ ctrl menu comes up immediately.
