PPr CS5 – Weird Stuff Happening!

[Vince Becquiot]

Hi Lori,

[Lori Savitch] “1. When I create a new project, the sequence I created shows up in the timeline, along with SEVEN other sequences, all named “Timeline (no sequence)” Of course, I can delete them, but that’s kind of a pain.”

I’ve seen it happen, not sure why it did, but try the latest update.

[Lori Savitch] “2. Page up and Page Down does not take me to the beginning and end of an edit point. I went to Edit > Keyboard Customization, and it is clearly mapped to do so. I remapped the keyboard, and the new keyboard shortcuts work fine, but … whaaaa????”

This shortcut will only affect selected tracks.

RE: multiple sequences on the timeline: I just did an update this morning. It happened before the update, and after the update.

RE: page up and page down – the tracks WERE selected. And when I re-mapped the keyboard, it worked fine with the new shortcuts. So I guess I should just shut up and keep editing!! Meantime, I checked my job-share partner’s computer. Same thing. (She also did an update this morning, but she says she doesn’t know if it worked before the update or not.

Thank you Vince. It would be great to, at least, get to the bottom of the multiple timeline issue. I am grateful for your help.

On subject of empty panes, this is what I found:

It’s a known quirk of workspaces.
When you modify a workspace, Premiere remembers your changes. That’s why the Reset Workspace command is there.
When you have x number of sequences open, the workspace remembers that those panels were open. Since when you open a new project the previous workspace is used, you’ll see x number of empty timeline panels open.
