  • over long sequence that is mostly empty

    Posted by Paul Dougherty on April 9, 2014 at 11:00 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve been working with Avids since the year one, but new to Premiere (using 7.2.1). I really like it but stumped by the following anomaly… I’ve created a seq that I don’t think ever ran more than 3min. Yet the timeline extends to about 12min and I can’t see why, it’s all empty after the 2min mark. I say it because the ‘false’ long duration makes it hard to navigate the part with content in the first 2 min. Drag the slider at the bottom and… whoosh… you’re way beyond where you want to be. Where can I fix this?

    Thanks in advance

    Paul

    Thanks – but that address the inability to use the horiz scroll when zoomed in a little (incredibly oversensitive) because the seq/timeline is 90% empty. It has 2min of content and the seq thinks it’s 12min – but there is nothing after the 2 min mark

    An example of what I’m talking about happens when I make a new seq by dragging a sub-clips that runs a second to the “new item” icon at the bottom (because I want the seq settings to match the source) – it makes a new sequence that is 10:01 min long. Why is Premeire generating this huge work area that is in effect a 99% empty timeline? It hammer my ability to use the horiz scroll bar art the bottom effectively. Where do I go shot shorten this seq duration – that really should extend in duration only as I add additional content.

    Thanks in advance

    It’s funny how everyone has a different background and different methods of doing the same thing. Your issue has never bothered me because I don’t really use the slider thingy, I’ve always just used the “+” and “-” keys to zoom in and out at playhead. Maybe this will help you, maybe not

    Thanks
