Premiere Pro :: Transitions Disappear After Flattening Multi-cam?
Sep 6, 2013
After I flatten a multi-cam sequence, all the video transitions I added have disappeared.
I looked around, and found this item in the list of bug fixes in the July 2013 build-release: "Upon flattening a multicam sequence, transitions are applied on the wrong layers. Can lead to crash with error message […SrcSequenceActionSequenceAddTransitionAction.cpp-57".]"
This does not result in a crash. Obviously, I can put the transitions in again on the flattened sequence (which I have done - client's need the finished vid!).
the latest Premiere Pro CC update is supposed to improve multi-cam editing of MXF footage, but I'm still having problems with C300 footage. After flattening a multi-cam track (containing a mix of C300 and Canon 5D 3), some of the C300 clips appear with a striped pattern (the represeantation of the clip in the time line), and don't play back any content. The content is still there, but I have to go back into the original multi-cam sequence, find it, cut it out and replace the "empty" clips in the flattened track.
I'm using Premiere Pro CC (up to date) and I don't see a star shaped iris transition.The only shapes I have to select from are: Box, Cross, Diamond, and Round.
I know that is pretty cheesy but it works for a specific promo that I have to update weekly.It seems like such a basic shape to not have in the stock Iris transitions.
Since I bought myself a license for Creative Cloud I am missing multiple video transitions like 'Slash Slide' for instance among with a lot of other transitions.
When I export a video, I export to DVD, BLURAY, MP4 for Vimeo, and 2 Master Archives at ProRes 422 and AVC-I 100 all at one time. So like 4 or 5 versions of the same video. Been doing this for years with no issues really. Most of the time the exports all appear to be fine. Now all of a sudden every once in a while one or two of the exports will have one or two transitions missing. Bizaar. And disturbing because some of the videos are over an hour and I can't afford to watch all of the various copies to see if some are missing transitions and some are not. The timeline has no issues. There are lots of cross dissolves and the exported videos look great. But a few times lately one or two of the videos will just be missing one of the cross dissolves right in the middle of the video. It'll cut to black and then fade up the 2nd clip instead of blending the two. The other 2 or 3 videos will look fine and have no issues.
Running 2011 iMac 3.4GHz i7 with 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD (OS and Program), Scratch files on a 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, and exports going to an OWC External RAID0 HDD connected via Thunderbolt adapter. Footage is AVCHD 720p60 edited natively on a 24p timeline.
Doesn't happen everytime, but seems to be happening more often.
If I create multiple sequences within a project, and 'reset current workspace', only the sequence tab currently selected will remain (at least, this is the case when I save and reopen the project). I tend to sync video and audio on the timeline in one sequence, and build an edited scene in another, so I lose either the synced rushes or the scene-in-progress.
Have reinstalled Premiere Pro 6.0.5 because I cannot drag Audio Transitions or Effects to any Timeline sequences in my Projects. Have tried modifier keys, but to no avail.
I am trying to sync up two cameras, only problem one of my cameras creates seperate clips every time I stop and start the camera. How do I tell Premiere Pro CC to group the clips as one camera?
I want to film my CEO standing on London Bridge as people walk over it. The trick is is that I want to film him at normal speed (for obvious reasons), and i want the people walking past us to be shown at double the speed.
Having thought logically I guess I need to film people walking over the bridge separately from filming my CEO, then somehow superimpose him on the that footage.
Coming from a FCP background, and I see this in FCP and in AVID, but I can't seem to do it in premiere, though I really want to. I want a multi monitor set up where the first monitor has my timeline, source window, and project window, then my second monitor has my bins & effects & metadata, then the third will be a full screen of the project window that is still on my first monitor, and then finally a fourth, 65" 4k tv also displaying the project window (mirroring the third monitor). Dragging the project window around and toggling in and out of fullscreen is a waist of time since there was no need to do that with FCP for so many years. I need 3 project windows in premiere (and I dont mean using the reference) , how do I do this with premiere?
I have a multicam sequence that I'm trying to play and switch camera angles as its playing. It works fine using my mouse to select between angles, but the keyboard shortcuts do not work. Mine are set to use cntrl +1 for camera 1 (and so on for the other cameras). Unfortunately i get no response when trying to change angles with the keyboard.Running the latest Premiere CC and Mavericks.
After selecting 2 (or more) files and right clicking and choosing Multi camera sequence from source, I drag the newly created sequence on to the time line but all I get is the two files on the time line stacked over one another. the sequence never gets created.
I have AutoCAD LT 2008 and need to be able to flatten 3d objects. I have followed all instructions for the plot to dxb and have successfully saved the files but now can't get them to open. What are the next steps? I have tried to open a new drawing and open the dxb file using the 'DXBIN", and "DBOUT" commands which show as unknown commands.
upon flattening layers in CS5, any changes made seem to vanish? This occurs when flattening adjustment layers and has even happened after e.g. Image>Adjustments>Curves (when I close the adjustment dialogue the changes aren't applied.) This doesn't happen on every photo ( I can have two open and it will only be seen on one) and I havene't ever had it happen before. It seems particularly likely to happen after applying HDR toning although I'm sure if there is any connection.
-No I did NOT uncheck the layers box. -No I did NOT accidently FLATTEN my piece -No I didn't change the color space
why the eff my photoshop has flattened two of my PSD files without my permission.
I work in PSD then when done I hit save. Then File> Save as> PDF then I name my PDFS, do so for my other projects then I close everything. I've had two files already where I have opened the PSDS and they're flattened when I never saved them this way.
When I flatten my image at completion, The images changes. Looks like my adjustment layers reset blending modes and adjustments. Tried uninstall, restart of photoshop and Mac, tried to flatten from tiff, psd and PDF. Same thing happens
I am loosing details in an image when I try to save, flatten or merge visible. The top layer is a colored layer that I have used the dissolve blend mode to apply to the layer below. Whenever I flatten it, I loose a lot of the granular detail as well as the color intensity. Any work arounds?
I have a line with a drop-shadow. I want to save it as a GIF and keep the drop-shadow effect. So I flatten the layer. But while doing so, the background which was transparent changes to white.
I recently began creating an image and when it came time to flatten this image, the noise I intentionally put in was softened to a regular glow. I am using CS2 and i used the Layer Style > Outer Glow > and then I added noise with blend mode linear dodge and an opacity of 68%. Anyone know if there is a way I can flatten the image with a way to maintain the noise?
I have a single-line riser diagram in 3D I want to flatten to 2D. things like super flatten and such don't work because I'm not using solids, just single lines.
I was looking for a way to quickly save as png without flattening. I work using the pdn format but I save to png 32 bit. It would be nice to have an Export feature in the file menu separate from the save options. Basically just hit export and it brings up the normal dialogs for saving but just saves the image leaving me with the pdn as I continue working.
I'm sure you've realized that not everyone wants to work in png and destroy their layers just because they need to upload for the web really quick. At the moment (as you know) when working on a pdn you have to do save as, select png from the file types and hit save, hit okay on the dialog, click flatten, now you have a png file with a new name if you changed it, then hit ctrl+z to get your layers back, press ctrl+s to save and since it has layers it pops up to save as pdn, rename back to old name and save. It's a lot of steps.
So an alternative would be click Export and if you've exported before it already has the name and file type you want filled in ready to overwrite your last export then click save have that dialog pop up for the bit type and click okay and you're done.
It would be even simpler if you merged the save dialog into the image setting dialog then you could hit Export and hit an export button and be done in two clicks. A lot more work though at a minor usability gain.
I have some transitions that I would like to add to my transitions list in VideoStudio. The transitions are in the Quicktime animation ".mov" format. Is there a way to add them in?
I edit a photograph from a Camera Raw file to high contrast, grainy black and white, then when I try to flatten it or save it, it washes all the contrast out completely. When I try to merge layers, flatten image or cmd+opt+e/cmd+opt+shift+e to a new file it does the same thing. Here's what I've tried to correct the issue:
-I've tried saving it as a PSD file, a TIFF, a JPEG and a BMP file -I've tried calibrating my monitor (X-Rite i1 Pro) -I've tried soft proofing on and off (left off for now) -I've tried resetting my colour settings to import files into the working space as ProPhoto & Adobe RGB 1998 -I've tried setting the import as the calibrated settings for the screen rather than ProPhoto or Adobe RGB 1998 -I've checked that all files (apart from a Dodge/Burn Layer which has to be on Soft Light never affected any files before) were set to normal -I've tried converting profiles from ProPhoto to Adobe 1998, Adobe 1998 to sRGB -I've tried going to preferences in User>Me>Library>Preferences>Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and manually resetting all relevant references -I've tried flushing and resetting all preferences -I've tried to uninstall and install Photoshop SC6 from scratch -I've tried restarting the image from the raw file with the new install of CS6, done all the edits again manually...
And it still does the same thing. Whenever I have adjustment layers on my file and have some contrast added that I want to save, it flattens the whole image out..The last attachment is what it looks like in photoshop and another with my colour settings for the (calibrated) screen
I have been using CS5 for months, but just recently started a new job which uses CS6. I am working on a company laptop running Windows 7. I have never seen this problem before and could find nothing online about others having this issue.
What's happening is that I save a .psd file the same way I've done for the last 8 years, but every once in a while, the .psd files are flattened the next time I open them. This has happened 4 times now.
The first time, I wrote it off as a user error. I saved a backup .psd file and continued on. The second time was the same file, but I had the backup file which I was able to revert to an older version and restart from there.
Edit: I should also add that the third and fourth files were different files from the one used in the first two instances.
The third time, I was testing it. I saved a backup file and then continued to work on the file. I would save it, close the file, and reopen it to see if it was flattened. The 10th or 11th time I did this, the file was indeed flattened. The fourth time this has happened was on a brand new file I had started at the end of the day yesterday, and this morning it is flattened.
I really don't want to have to keep a secondary .psd file updated as a backup for every single project I work on.
