The shortcut you are using today is “Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor” while the one you are looking for is “Maximize or Restore Active Frame” if you want to maximize the active frame.

For the Media Browser you want to use “Select Directory List” and “Select Media List”. It works but it wont give you any visual reference that indicate if you are in the Directory List or in the Media List but knowing that maybe good enough.

I hope that i gave you the answers you needed! 🙂

Manish, if you are going to use one (1) processor don´t buy a computer with two processor sockets since the price goes up drastically. Buy a two socket computer only if you buy it with two processors. ☺

If you plan to use one (1) processor, aim for a workstation with one (1) processor socket. ☺

For HP, look at the Z4 and for DELL i am not sure what model they have. (5820?) Unfortunately the Z4 is not on sale yet, but if you can wait you will save lot´s of money.

Download the latest audio driver from Dell dated 08 Aug 2017. That will probably solve the issue. Dell write this about the driver: “Enhanced driver compatibility with Windows Creators Update”

DELL – Realtek High Definition Audio Driver:

Right click on the speaker icon down right at the Windows Task Bar and choose “Playback devices”. Check that the speakers are selected as the “Defualt device”.

It seems that the problem you have is that the “Defualt device” has been set to your HDTV instead of your speakers.

I have a feature length film edited in Premiere Pro CC 2017 at true 24fps, that I will need to deliver at 23.976 for Blu-Ray.

24fps can be used for Blu-ray without any conversion to 23.976 since 24fps is a supported frame rate for 720p/1080p/4K. I have made several Blu-rays in 24fps and i have bought several commercial Blu-ray discs that are 24fps.

See “Supported video formats” here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray

Why the urge to convert the footage? 🙂

It seems to me that the size and/or the pixel aspect ratio of your layers have a different size and pixel aspect ratio than other layers and the timeline itself. Or, that the a layer with a matching size have been moved using the Position parameters. Or, that a layers opacity have been changed using the layers Opacity parameter.

Short story: There is a mismatch somewhere that causes this.

[Roger Averdahl]

1. Lock the video track/s (Can be done with keyboard)
2. Move the CTI over the audio you want to delete (Can be done with keyboard)
3. Make sure that the correct A1,A2, A3, etc, etc is selected. (Can be done with keyboard)
4. Press D
5. Press the Delete key.

So, once you have performed steps 1-3 is becomes easy. It can become cumbersome the more audio tracks you have, iow if you want to delete some but keep some.

[Roger Averdahl]

1. Hold down the alt-key.
2. Click on the audio and let go of the alt-key.
3. Delete it.

When holding down the alt-key there is no need to unlink and afaik there is no way to use one keystroke to delete audio that is linked to video. Two keystrokes if the video is locked, the correct track/s is targeted is the closest i am aware of.

>Yes, they really need to fix it. Anyone else frustrated by this dissolve issue?

I have been in direct contact with Adobe and have sent them sample projects regarding this very issue. Since they havent answered and commented this issue for years i assume that they will never fix this issue. They gave us the workaround to un-check “Composite in linear color” in the sequence settings but refuse to answer on a direct question what the disadvantages might be when un-checking that option.

Adobe refuse to comment on the issue for some reason so it seems pretty clear that they have decided to not fix it, not to comment the issue. I have sent in numerous bug reports and feature requests. I make sure to always un-check “Composite in linear color” for all sequences i work in. But that´s just a workaround…

[Roger Averdahl]

Has anybody experienced this or know how to fix this so it is exportable with the field order as Upper First?

Your Sequence Settings are Lower Field First and you are exporting to Upper Field First, so the issues you are seeing are to be expected.

I don’t know anything about you source footage but juding it from the image you posted it looks like the actual source footage is Upper Field First as well. What are the properties of your source footage? (Select a clip in the Project panel and you will see either LFF or UFF or p.)
