Premiere Pro 1.5 insert problem
Hi,
I am having problems making inserts on has a complicated sound track with video and audio clips that are unlinked and offset in some cases so the audio comes in ahead of the picture transition.I’m trying to insert black between some of the scenes to make transitions.
The only way I seem to be able to create any space is by using the “appying video transitions” function.
This tool also seems to be grayed out when I place the curser in some areas of the time line to make space.Do you think the audio tracks are the cause of the insert problem?
Starting a new project the insert option works fine, have i hit a limitation on premiere?
thanks

Try:
1. create a black video (File>New>Black video); this puts a black video in project bin
2. drag into left monitor window; set in/out to suit length
3. place cursor to desired insert point on Timeline
4. do insert from monitor window containing black video; lock audio track as desired
5. repeat 4 ’til done
6. post a response to let us know if this works for you -
Thanks for those thoughts but I have tried the black, I have tried just audio, or just video and even stills. It still does not allow me to do the most basic editing function “INSERT”
Does anyone think the audio track may be the culprit? I have quite a complex audio track, the audio and pictures are unlinked in many places and the audio starts before the end of a video clip in a number of cases.
I manged to insert a universal counting leader at the begining and all the clips moved down the time line like they are suposed to.The latest clip I tried to insert jumped ahead by about 10 minutes in the time line.
I’m almost finished this project, Thank Someone, just some fine tweaking and final voice over track to go. I’m just concerned that my client will want some fades to black and breathing space between sections of dialogue and I will look very stupid if I can’t perform those simple functions at will. -
The only thing I can think of that prevents an insert is a locked track – but then, that doesn’t account for the successful insertion of the universal counting leader, unless the insertion was done before the track was locked (accidentally?).
I’ve done inserts with video/audio of the type you described and not encountered any problems so I don’t think the audio per se is at fault. Something else is at play, especially when you get an insertion with a shift on the Timeline. Does this insertion problem occur with other projects?
