Thanks for your input, Guys. I’ll give prelude a try.

We are on Macs, so we have 2 computer monitor capability. What we’re trying to do is have 2 source monitors so we can view audio waveform and video simultaneously. Seems like a simple thing that ought to be possible but haven’t been able to figure it out.Thanks!

July 9, 2015 at 10:59 am in reply to: NVIDIA Card with Yosemite and Premiere causing major graphics failureI’ve recently wiped the hard drive of my late 2012 iMac with nvidia 680mx and rebuilt the system, including CC2015. After reinstalling Yosemite, CUDA is no longer there and Premiere now runs on OpenCL. I’ve been intensively editing with CC2014 (and a bit 2015) for about a week now and the old video distortion problem is gone.

This has been driving me bonkers! I thought it was my mouse malfunctioning at first and wasted a lot of time trying to clean and repair it. I’m on a dual monitor setup on the mac.
I have my sequence on my big center screen and everything else on the secondary. When I bring the mouse to the left screen to access a bin suddenly the timeline start scrolling. A quit and restart will also clear it up for a while, but it eventually returns.

Also, check your permissions:

It’s an on going CUDA problem. Here’s a long thread about it:

For anyone who’s interested I figured this out. Premiere allows the saving of “metadata display”, which is available from the project pulldown. This allows you to customize which columns are visible in a given window and can be saved as a preset. This doesn’t allow the ordering of the columns.
The ordering of columns is something that can be saved along with your workspace setting.
For this, you can order things you want in the project window, save it as a workspace. From then on, bins created in the project window will follow the metadata display and column order of the project window.
Finally I can log my media using bins.
Of course, this is anything but ideal – why would you want your project window and bins to have the same layout? We should really have bin layouts as a separate preset.

You’re quite right – if I leave all the audio tracks intact I’m able to drag multiple clips back to a bin. I found that I can disable the audio tracks, or obviously simply mute the tracks and Premiere will allow moving them into a bin.
I only wish I knew this before I spent a weekend logging a project!
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again Alex. I haven’t had a chance to try what you suggested. I’m afraid it won’t really solve my problem.
It seems I’m alone in that I occasionally like to use a timeline to review and organize footage. Sometimes I find it faster to chop up long clips in a timeline (making selects) rather than clicking around a bin. Also It’s nice to have the waveform visible for reviewing interviews. All fine and good until you want to drop these clips into a bin (multiple clips, that is). It’s something FCP has always been able to do.

Alex, thank you for your input.
Turns out I can’t do that either – if I open clips from the sequence in the source viewer they can’t be dragged to a bin. What the heck is going on here??

As a matter of fact, these are clips in a timeline where I have deleted the audio. I’m using the timeline to organize and trim b roll shots. The audio is not being used. Could this be the source of my grief? I wish Adobe documentation explained what conditions are necessary to simply move a bunch of clips!
