previews not updating

[Mike Velte]

Technically speaking, compressed files like jpegs cannot be edited, only replaced with a .psd or …copy.jpeg. When you choose “Edit Original” in Premiere, the still opens in PS, make your changes and choose “save” and default format is PSD. If you choose Jpeg as the format and drop the changed file into the same folder, PS will append “Copy” in the file name.

Tiffs, BMPs and PSD are editable.

i am not using Photoshop at all.

i am animating, rendering sequence as jpgs. (to save space)

i will do some corrections to animation, rerender same jpgs, thusly updated.

but ppro will not update the clip in timeline, nor the preview render. however source jpgs in bin are the updated jpgs, as viewed in ppro monitor.

thanks

OOOOHHH I SOLVED IT!!! Phew!!!!!

Okay, so it checks the FIRST image in sequence! If that was not updated, then whole thing is considered old.

So when I rerender fixes, I need to just render whole sequence, not just area where I fixed.

NO PROBLEM!

Thanks anyway…

PHEW!!!!

That sounds like a painful way to do it. If you prefer to spot correct individual jpgs, one way to force an update to the clip in Premiere is to offline the clip in the project window, then relink back to the first frame.

There’s also an option (I believe in the sequence menu) that will allow you to delete preview files if you want to flush your timeline renders.
