I know this thread is long dead but I came across a solution to this problem so I thought I would post. I have a project in CS6 that I’ve been working on for a long time. Many of the clips are using extracted audio from Audition but at some point all of the extracted files were lost.
To restore original audio to a clip do the following:
1. Right click the clip and click Unlink.
2. Drag the video clip to your Project window.
3. Double click the new clip in the Project window so it opens in the Source window.
4. Now you can drag the audio only (small waveform icon) back to your sequence thereby replacing the clip with the original audio track. -
I’m running a Mac Pro 5,1 2.8GHz Xeon. I’ve had some stability issues but nothing like what you are talking about with the beach ball hang. I do get occasional hangs but I just do the same thing I did in Windows; close Premiere and re-launch Premiere. If I get another problem I close and reboot the system. This usually keeps me working with minimal downtime. Of course, it goes without saying, that my normal practice of quickly tapping command+S just before I do a render of any kind is a good practice to get into. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the replies!

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 quad core xeon, and I can’t get the Quadro 4000 and the Radeon 5770 to play together. I’ve tried several times but even when I have the Quadro installed & “working” I see no real world benefits in Premiere (so I know something is not working right). I do see the hardware enable option in project settings for the Mercury Engine, but something has to be wrong.
Not sure what the problem is. Tried every driver version I could, both Nvidia display drivers and CUDA drivers. Zip… as of right now, the Quadro 4000 is sitting in its box in my desk drawer.
And I’ve been doing this kind of stuff since the mid 90’s so I’d like to think I know what I’m doing. 🙂

Yeah, I’ve done that too. It just seems like a hassle sometimes. Plus once you move the keyframes to the beginning and ending, if you have something like dissolves, you can’t see the first few frames any more. Maybe if there was a simple FX shutoff switch like there is in AE it wouldn’t matter.

Good advice. I’ll give it a try. Thanks Alex!

Getting bars on the side of your image (or pillar boxing) just means that your sequence is not the same aspect ratio as your export settings. Since Premiere has to fit a square into a rectangle you end up with the bars. Check your sequence settings and see what your footage is. You can also right click a clip in the bin and choose Properties to see what you are working with. If it’s standard def like 720 x 480 then you have to choose an export setting that matches that. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I’ve seen that Travis. I just posted a similar issue this morning about annoying keyframe quirks that bug me. I’m not sure what causes the forgotten keyframe. I always just reset it to what I want and move on. I think it may have to do with moving the clip around or adding transitions.

I’ve been using the Ikan V5600 5.6″ LCD Monitor for a while now and it has helped immensely with focusing issues. I shoot with a Pana HMC-40 and Canon 7D. The monitor has 1024×600 resolution, which isn’t as high as I would like, but it is much better than the tiny built in LCD monitors on camera. It can run from the AC adapter or battery and has HDMI input so it works with my camcorder and DSLR which it is pretty handy/versatile.

After several months of working with this Mac Pro I’m feeling deep regret for my decision to run CS5.5 on the OS X platform. It works, kind of, not really fast & not real stable though. This may work fine for many people but my tremendous workload of all HD AVCHD footage means lots of work in AE and Premiere with tight deadlines. Simply put, I need more horsepower and memory.
So I’m now looking at building a hex core i7-3930K workstation with 32GB DDR3. My only real concern is how to utilize my two 27″ Apple Cinema displays (which I really love). They only have a male mini display port to use for feeding them. My first thought was a Quadro 4000 with 2 display ports but the specs say max resolution of 1920×1080 and these displays roll up to 2560 x 1440 and quite frankly I’ve become spoiled with mega desktop space. I’ve heard about the many problems with DVI to display port adapters but that may be my only option.
I am actually considering a GTX 570/580 since almost all of the top machines on PPBM5 are all running GTX cards. Anybody have any suggestions?
