    Your setup is way advanced beyond my Mac Pr CC “2013” and HDMI flat screen. You don’t mention your OS. But I’ve found I’ve needed to do a lot of tinkering and tweaking between the Mac System Preferences and the Adobe display preferences to get the display working the way I want it with a second computer monitor and the HDMI TV. Picking the right monitor in Pr Preferences is key. Some selections work some don’t.
    Best wishes to you folks working with the latest and greatest Pr CC versions and Blackmagic etc.

  • and for a Mac, make sure system prefs are set up to show the external HDMI monitor

    Not sure I follow you correctly but Q and W keyboard shortcuts do ripple edits to the in and the out of a shot in Premiere CC (on the timeline)

  • Here’s what I found out in the documentation for CC 7.2.2 trying to get a zoom on the timeline that centers on the playhead:

    Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
    When a sequence is longer than the visible Timeline, you can select from different options to auto-scroll the Timeline during playback.
    Page Scroll moves the Timeline automatically to a new view after the playhead moves offscreen. Selecting this option ensures that playback is continuous and doesn’t stop.
    Selecting Smooth Scroll keeps the playhead in the middle of the screen, while the clips and time ruler move by.

    With the smooth scroll preference, Pr zooms in on the playhead. In the other setting, it zooms in to the center of whatever portion of the timeline is visible, even if the playhead has moved offscreen.

    Do most people use Smooth Scroll? Has this changed with more recent versions of Pr?
    Cheers,

    Truly amazing, John. Hitting F produces an entirely different result from double-clicking. The In/Outs appear and the Clear Ins/Outs buttons work.
    One of these days I’ll see what it does in an audio file.
    Who’da thunk it?

    Cool. I will check this out. Will try hitting F for Match Frame and see what shows up in the Source. Maybe a parent, maybe a child. 🙂

    March 31, 2017 at 9:51 pm in reply to: Adobe Audition messed up a day worth of work

    Thanks, Steve. I’m getting that ‘Dynamic Link’ is the term used for AE exchanges, not for Audition.
    And yes, in the edit menu I see ‘Edit in Adobe Audition’ as the available option. ‘Render and Replace’ appears as a fleeting onscreen notice while this is happening.
    Opening and saving an audio file, I’m prompted the filename plus ‘Audio Extracted’ and this new file name (which is a .wav file on my Mac) appears in the Project Panel along with the original .mov file.
    So that seems to demonstrate that a clip edit in Audition is nondestructive, in the sense that it creates a new edited audio file in Pr CC alongside the original clip.
    I’ve been experimenting with audio editing in Pr CC directly but have found that audio level changes are not always easily reversible.
    More to be revealed . . .
    Thanks, and I appreciate your help.

    Still exploring–here’s what I understand at the moment.
    Somebody on FB referred to Parent Clips and Child Clips. Apparently Parent Clips open in the Source Panel from the Project Panel. A clip that’s placed in a Timeline becomes a Child Clip
    Here’s what’s happening in my process:
    I’m putting a lot of clips on a timeline (video or audio) and using the In/Out markers to select a segment of a clip, or _several segments from one clip_. If I open a Child Clip from a timeline and add Ins/Outs they are not changing the Parent Clip.
    If I put the newly marked Child Clip in another timeline, called Selects, and double-click to open it, the results of what appears in the Source Panel are unpredictable. I’ve done this with Audio Child Clips and what appears is the entire Parent Clip with no markers. I’ve done it with Video Child Clips and I see locked In/Out markers that can’t be changed in the Source Panel.
    At least I _think_ that is what is happening.
    For my process, I can use In/Out controls to delimit a segment of a clip to move from one timeline to another, but it’s better to drag the Ins and Outs to the end of the clip to remove them before going to the next clip. I have to use drag if it’s a Child Clip–the In/Out keystrokes don’t work.
    Aii. None of this is really findable in the documentation or Adobe Help. Except for the following under the topic Master Clip Effects:

    “In addition to applying effects to track items or clips in a sequence, Premiere Pro lets you apply effects to master clips.

    A master clip can be described as a parent clip, and all the sequence clips created from the master clip as child clips.

    To explain further, master clips are objects in the Project panel other than sequences, multi-camera source sequences, and bins. Examples of master clips include merged clips, subclips, and synthetic clips (such as, adjustment layers and color mattes).

    If a project contains multiple items linked to the same file on disc, each of those project items is an independent master clip. That is, a parent-child relationship cannot exist within items in the Project panel. The parent-child relationship is limited to master clips in the project and sequence clips in the Timeline.

    When you apply an effect to a master clip, the effect automatically ripples down to all sequence clips (child clips) created from that master clip.”

    This does introduce the term “child clips,” but says nothing about limitations and results of applying In/Out markers to Child Clips.
    Just sharing. Cheers,

    Here are the results of an experiment:
    Opened a clip from the project panel, marked Ins and Outs, then the Clear options were available in the menu.
    Even a same clip that I opened in Source then I couldn’t clear them in Source.
    Something different seems to happen with opening clips into Source from the Project Panel vs opening them from a Timeline. Ins/Outs are locked and can’t be adjusted.
    Come to think of it, maybe I ran into this previously with audio clips — opening from Project Panel showed different Ins/Ours vs opening them from a Timeline.

    I don’t know what to make of this or what it tells us about how Premiere functions, but it’s not something I’ve been able to find in the documentation or Adobe Help.

    Referring to the Source window:
    In this case, opening from the project shows a “clean” clip with no Ins/Outs. I can add them and delete them.
    Opening the same clip from the timeline shows a clip with fixed In or Out that I can’t change.

    More to be revealed.

    Thanks, Dave. Interesting idea, but no.
