Reset doesn’t fix it. Also, it turns out that if I render any clip on the timeline then I get this playback issue whether it has Warp or not. Every clip is doing it. Do I need to reinstall Premiere or something? I’m running CC.

Ok, I’m getting closer to understanding. Would you mind just explaining to me how I go about creating a placeholder precomp? I know how to import a placeholder into my main comp. Am I supposed to right click it and pre-compose it, and then open it, and then duplicate it? If so, what is the difference in doing that compared to just duplicating it in the main comp?

Oh ok, I think that is what I got going on. When you say “placeholder pre-comp” are you saying that I should import a placeholder and then pre-compose it? Or is “placeholder pre-comp” the terminology for simply importing the a placeholder?

I imported a placeholder into my main comp. Then I duplicated it until I had 8 and then I created my grid and tested the alt-drag thing with some footage and it worked perfectly. Do I need to precompose anything?

Thanks for the response. So, I’m kind of having trouble understanding your suggestions…

I have been playing around with the placeholders and I was wondering if it is a bad idea to just create nine placeholders in my main comp?

Thanks for responding so fast. While messing around, I discovered that “q” will jump you from the timeline to the viewer and vice -versa. Thanks for the tips.
