    Hi from 13 degrees C about to rain agian York UK…

    https://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/sticking-time-line-content_zps33013011.jpg

    I’m having one of those days where premiere pro (and its sidelick after effects) just keeps slapping me in the face but I’m on my 10th cup of coffee so it cant defeat me!

    Ok this the problem (Illustrated in header link). For some reason the timeline footage layers are sticking 🙁 Its infuriating!! (OK RANT OVER)

    It drove me so mad (RANT CONTINUING) and had to go for a walk. I come back and hey presto its ok now i can move sequences where and when i want. Is this a RAM problem? And i just have to avoid givving it too much to think about or is there a method to avoid timeline contnet from randomly super gluing themselves!

    Any insights welcome 🙂

    Hi David,

    I’d humbly suggest providing some specs on your current system and then perhaps the forum can help decode what your issue is. Standard stuff to try is trashing your prefs and clearing your media cache. If you’ve had ongoing weirdness for a while, then I usually will recommend this, which is comprehensive. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

    HTH (a bit),

    Hi Dennis & thank you for your reply,

    Well the issue has cleared but no doubt will rear its head again when I least want it! Thanks for clean up link (Oh dear more software downloading more maintenance).

    Here the punch my workstation packs:

    iMac late 2012 21.5 inch

    Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5

    Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB

    Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

    Thank,
    David

    Glad that the problem has resolved itself. For the future, I would heartily recommend increasing your RAM. 16, 24 or 32GB of total RAM would do wonders if you’re using Premiere Pro regularly.
