Trouble Dragging Images onto Timeline

Question

Hello,

EDIT: This seems to mainly be an issue when 24 FPS is selected (23.976 or 25 FPS don't result in this issue). My standard Image timeframe is 1 frame (Under Timeline Settings).

I've done some intensive searching on google and cant find aything relating to this problem.

When I create a new sequence, usually a custom one to match my Cameras image settings it will not let me drag Images I imported onto the timeline (screenshot of Sequence settings attached). Though when I create a sequence with SOME presets it lets me drag the images onto the timeline no problem.

I have tried most of the solutions that concern enabling the 'V1' settings, but it doesn't seem to work. Pressing insert on the Source editor also does not work. When Trying to drag I just always get the hand with a 'No' sign in the corner.

My current workaround is creating a sequence from all items and then Copy Pasting that onto a different Sequence, this however is clunky.

Attached are some screenshots of the custom settings for the Sequence.

And some with a sequence where I CAN add them (the PAL one).

And one where I cannot do this (Custom Canon Profile).

An example sequence that lets me drag the files into the Timeline is DV-PAL Standard 48kHz

I'd be glad to provide more info concerning this problem.

Kind Regards

If you are trying to make a timelaps with 1 frames images you might want to look at image sequence.

Thanks, I have tried this and it does circumvent the issue.

Though I still find it strange as to why I cannot add single images at 24 fps.

Thanks for the help so far! I've gotten to a point where I can continue working on my project, mainly solved it by changing all sequences to 23.976 fps.

How frustrating SM,Two words: Source Patching. It's always Source Patching. You should know about Source Patching, as should everyone. It's a basic 101 in editing. A thing I used to teach in the first 15 minutes of the 101 class I used to have.  It is a shame that everyone blows right by it when trying to learn Premiere Pro. Suggest you bang through a 101 course on Lynda.com or another quality training site to fill in these gray areas which are preventing you from moving forward in your editing pursuits.Good luck,Kevin
