For number 1 – Unfortunately, no. I am not aware of any method to do that.

And number 2 – Yes, you would not want to do that in your situation as you’d want to keep those 2 sources separate.

My best suggestion would be instead of keyframing each fade use one of the “crossfade” transitions in your “Effects” bin. A little less clicking that way.…

Yes, it is simple, but you need to do it before editing the clip into your timeline/sequence. To link your tracks you need to modify your audio in the bin from 2 separate channels into 1 stereo track.

Just right-click the clip in question in your bin and select “modify” and then “audio channels.” Once there, make sure the “Clip Channel Format”…

Ouch! That is a lot modifying. One thing I forgot to mention is you can modify multiple clips at a time using that method by highlighting/selecting them in your project panel, so that might help a little bit.

Have you tried modifying your audio before placing it in your timeline first? To do this you can select the clip in your project panel. Right click and select “Modify” and then “Audio Channels”(or Shift-G). A dialogue box will open and you’ll be able to uncheck the channels you don’t want leaving just your SFX channel. Then to make a true sub-cl…

We’ve had weird problems on our Mac setup and MXF’s in the past as well. Source clips would cut off early and not display completely in PP. So a 10 min. clip would only show the first 2 minutes in PP. You’d check it in Finder and it was all there. We’d load it in our PC based edit suite and it would work fine. Maddening! The thing that seemed to…

Hi John,

What kind of file do you have to deliver? What software do you use to edit your video? Both Premiere Pro and Apple Compressor do embedded captioning. That said, they each have their caveats. Premiere Pro only can embed captions into a .MXF Op1a file and Apple Compressor can do MPEG-2. To use Premiere Pro you would need to import your .scc…

You should check out the new Productions workflow that allows you to break your overall project into smaller projects so you don’t have to load the whole “production” at once. It takes a bit to wrap your head around the new organization method, but it makes working with large projects like yours much more manageable.

Here’s Adobe’s overview on how…

You are correct, if the captions imported properly they should show up in the CC tracks above your video tracks on the timeline in the latest version of PP automatically. You could also load them into your source viewer and turn on the CC display and see if they show up there.

When you spotlight search where does it say the files are? If you accidentally placed them in trash PP probably wouldn’t be able to see/access them there. If you know the name of the folder they are in and you can find it with spotlight you should be able to move it like Jerry said back to your desktop and your files should link back up…

Unfortunately, I don’t have any answers, but I can commiserate as I have had the same problem with YouTube. Since updating to PP2021, I get 2 copies uploaded to YouTube every time I export and publish directly to YT. If I do my exporting through Media Encoder everything works as normal… just one copy.
