Please download MediaInfo Windows and post the info in treeview.

Never see this before, maybe the clip has an odd framerate to begin with.

Which Premiere build and which OS are you using.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the quick reply! Ok, I am fairly new at using the Creative Cloud but I followed various tutorials with no avail. I am using OS X Yosemite

MediaInfo Mac  Please use this tool to analyse the clip.

I downloaded it but it won't allow me to open it saying its from an unidentified developer

[#7]

I am not a mac person but cannot you bypass that message?

[#8]

No it won't allow me to bypass it.

Just Googled this: OS X Yosemite: Open an app from an unidentified developer

Remove it from the Timeline and then try Modify...etc

Shooternz,

That worked, thank you very much!!

[#12]

Cool.

In  the Project bin prior inserting to the Sequence  is the general way that function works.

Glad it worked, never though of that as it also works when clip is in the timeline.

Hi Ann,

What is the media info file you had me download?

Hello Shooternz,

I am new using Encoder so I was sondering what do you mean with:

"Remove it from the Timeline and then try Modify...etc"

Can you be more specific please.

[#16]

I can't get it to work either

have tried png and targa but nothing will allow alpha to show in the project timeline or anywhere 😞

Hi shooternz,

It still doesnt work for me.  The footage is not in the time and it is still greyed out.  Would it be because I have the footage in folders?  Thank you for your answer.

 shooternz hasn't been on ther forum for years.
