Where’s the Marker Window?
-
Well then I say Premiere Pro is a resource hog, cause I’ve got 24GB of RAM, 12TB of fast storage, and graphics card that meets spec. All I can say is I would be able to cut this feature in Avid without breaking a sweat. Not trying to get in a NLE war here, but if I’m pushing it to hard cutting a narrative feature with no FX, maybe it’s not ready for prime time?

A dump file from Activity Monitor would cut through the parsiflage.
And Did you check to see what you have the Adobe prefs set to use? Are you using a CUDA capable GPU ?
I started earlier to make comments about workflow between news room Avid users and Premiere users.
But I cut them out.And for what you are doing I would be choosing After Effects anyway.

Wallace, you’d choose to cut a feature film in After Effects? I’ve cut about 90 Features and television shows, and have never once chosen to do so in After Effects. Yes, the card is CUDA capable and being used. The only reason i’m using PP now, by the way, is because it came to me already started that way. But I’m starting to lean to the “never again” category.

Why didn’t you just reexport it into FCP? Or as an EDM to convert for Avid ? It shouldn’t be that hard.
I’m not quite sure what you are doing with the stack as it is , it just looks like a hard way to work. And nO I would not Start with AE but I would finish with it other than titling. It handles complexity better.
And for the work that it looks like you are doing some clip time remapping looks like it could help.You did not say anything about your drives or the busses they are on. And I am wondering why you are not looking at a hardware monitor and even setting up error logging to trace the problem.
You have your Adobe resources set to use the maximum RAM, Your drives and busses are fast enough.
and your GPU is crunching the hard stuff. So other than some simple setting I do not see why the Marker panel is getting lost.A brief search showed that one clip marker issue (markers dissappearing) is solved by opening prefs> media> and making sure ” Write clip markers to XMP” is checked.

Prelude is something I have not worked much with. But some tout it as the way to cut for “newsies” who need to hose it out the door fast.
It is not very Adobe-Like, so it may work for you to cut before sending to Premiere.

Might be an odd corruption specific to that project or to your install of PPro. Have you tried reseting your preferences (details in link below)?

I’ve been using PPro for a few years now and I haven’t run into the behavior you experienced (and I use markers often enough that the Marker Window has a permanent spot in my window layout).
With regards to clicking different places in the time line, you are seeing the difference between clicking on a totally empty track and clicking on a gap between two clips. The gap highlights because it can be deleted via a ripple delete. There’s nothing to edit/manipulate/select in the totally empty track which is why it doesn’t highlight when you click on it. Shift+click will also unhighlight a highlighted clip/gap in the timeline. You can also adjust your video track height to give yourself some dead space between the top video track and the numbers/hashmarks at the top of the sequence window and clicking in that dead space will also unhighlight anything in the sequence that is highlighted. Shift+Command+A will also unhighlight everything (that’s more a universal OSX command, Command+A is ‘select all’ and Shift+Command+A is ‘deselect all’).

Hi Wallace,
The footage you’re seeing in my video is an hour or so of “sports broadcasters” reading back random lines that the director is giving them, shot with two cameras. Therefore I synced them and figured rather than subsequencing it all I would simply watch it and throw down markers for later reference. Since it was all “off the cuff” sorts of things, ie. unscripted, I knew I wouldn’t be needing it all, but still wanted some way to reference what was there.
It’s all dialog, with no motion-ramping of any sort. Very simple stuff.
I appreciate your effort to help, but I’m not a newsie. 😉
I’m an editor on The Flash, Once Upon A Time (among others), and probably 50 feature films, so matters of process are largely understood.

Yes I’m an Avid-centric guy, so other workflows can frustrate me.
The reason I’m in Premiere Pro is because the project came to me that way, and the director is comfortable in Premiere.
It seems to be working now, so I’m going to just keep chugging, since I need to have my cut ready to present to the director in less than a week. I’ve been using computers since the ’70s (Sinclair and TRS-80, anybody?) and worked thru the Amiga years, etc. I’m fully capable of trouble-shooting hardware when needed.
If I were to make Premiere my chosen day-to-day editor, believe me I’d cross all the Ts and dot all the Is. This machine is tuned for Avid, so I’m not going to change anything major for one project.

The cause of the “disappearing clip markers” is not yet defined.
Without furtherinsight the problem is left unresolved for others who will seek out this thread.
My guess is system overload.
