This feature was just added in the 2014 cc release – if you go into the keyboard shortcuts and look for “nudge volume” that’ll do it. It’s a little different than FCP in that it’ll begin to flatten out your keyframes if you nudge too far, and also annoyingly doesn’t work on clips in the source panel, so can’t yet ditch those increase/decrease volume shortcuts. I’m hoping they’ll consolidate these shortcuts soon, gotta submit a feature request when I get a sec.

Good call, Paul – that did it for me. No more yellow bars.

Interesting questions! Got me wondering myself about this as I’ve just been ignoring that yellow render bar these last few months since starting working in premiere.

I’m working on a project now where all the footage I’ve been handed has been transcoded to prores and everything has a yellow render bar over it.

But just did a test: took a prores file that was giving me a yellow render bar, transcoded it to a dnxhd mxf in media encoder, imported that to premiere, created a sequence from it, and no yellow render bar on that sucker.

Gonna do a bit more research and try to run a more extensive test in the next couple weeks, see if there’s any noticeable performance improvements. Will let you know if I find anything else out.

Not sure if this is what’s causing it for you, but I’ve been having the same problem when I’m working on a sequence full of merged clips. Ended up having to remake them all as single-angle multicams and then had to go through replacing them in my sequence. I’d try deleting any merged clips out of your sequence as an experiment and see if that helps.

Also, I’ve had some success with cleaning the media cache database. and sometimes, as a last resort, just deleting the media cache files & media cache database in the finder (though then premiere has to recreate all the pek & ims files which can take a while).

Okay, after a lil process-of-elimination I’ve narrowed the problem down to a bin of merged clips from one day’s footage. When I delete that bin of merged clips I’m able to import my sequence. I’ve noticed merged clips seem to be extremely buggy in this program, and I’ve learned to avoid em at all costs, but it’s gonna be tricky since they were used throughout the project for this episode.

This has done the job for me:

It’s a preference pane – on Snow Leopard, immediately after installing & restarting I got my numpad action back.

Wow, good to know, that clears up a lot for me. Thanks so much, Shane!
