Debatable that it "should" delete duplicates, but I like the thought process. My preference is to have all these methods as options so everyone can choose their own preference. I do as much work as possible in the folder and file management as this is the easiest way to maintain projects for the long term. By managing projects using the standard Windows folder and file structures, I have the advantage that this can be reproduced anywhere. I can back up or replicate that folder structure onto cloud storage such as dropbox, box.com, or onto a BlackMagic cloud storage or other NAS, server, hard drive etc... and in every case my folder structure is respected. I can easily navigate to the same project in any of those places, because I know exactly where I'll find it. So as you can guess, it's pretty annoying when Premiere Pro doesn't respect my folder structure. It's the spanner in the works. As usual, would be nice to see lots more options**.

jeanette jones - sounds like a whole separate conversation, not sure why you are raising that in this thread? Try checking the CC libraries within apps if you bought it in creative cloud, or if you bought from a third party website, check your downloads folder. Either way, maybe do some more research, and if it's still a problem, raise a new support ticket / feature request so that your request gets the attention it deserves. Posting on a random thread rarely gets you anywhere. ... View more

Thanks Mike, really appreciate your response. Paul and Levi, this may or may not help but I've had some success with a few workarounds: - One thing I've done is add duration controls, and tied the animation in with a duration. I can set the duration of either the whole mogrt or an individual effect, and the animation changes it's speed or timing based on that. - For following a tracking point, I've overlaid 2 mogrts before where one entire clip follows the motion tracking using the standard Motion controls, the other clip is static but both tie together at the same position which can be entered into both mogrts. Hacky but it did the trick. - I also considered making a script that could insert a mogrt over and over, each is one frame duration, and the script would set certain values for the controls, effectively a makeshift animated mogrt. I haven't needed it enough yet to seriously look into this though and whether it can be done. I've attached an screenshot of one that uses a duration slider to control how long before the graphic animates out. I think this one also used the length of the text to change some animation timings too. So simple animating can be done by building it in, but it's much more complex. ... View more

The link I posted in the description is wrong, for reference it can be found here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/is-there-any-way-to-keyframe-an-ae-mogrt-in-premiere/td-p/10177446 Great to see so much support for this, it's now in the top 50 requests for Premiere Pro features! Disappointing that there's no response from Adobe after 4 years - it really isn't hard just to say "we've noticed but we don't have capacity to work on this yet" so we don't feel completely ignored... but hey.... we're only customers! ...

Yes! I'm usually working with between 3 and 8 video projects at any one time. Each time I export a video, it defaults to the last export location of the last video. So I open Project X, make changes, export draft, and I then have to navigate to the folders for / Project X video / Export / - and save here. Then later, I open Project Y, make changes, export, and it automatically takes me to Project X / Export /. I have to navigate to / Project Y / Export / before I can save. ... and so on for every project. It's a little tedious when it could be made easier by either of the following: - Default export folder can be made to be the same folder as the project is saved in. - Default export folder can be made to be the folder that was last used as a save location by this project. Really look forward to this little tweak. ... View more

Or another alternative way to do this: Add an empty track where you're moving to Press A to get the track select tool up. Shift click at the start of the track you want to shift (highlights everything on that track) Press V to get arrow tool Shift click highlighted clips (prevents them tracking forward or backward) ...and drag drop to the empty track You could even do a macro to do the first part of this (I have a streamdeck which would make this a one press operation) 100% agree still not as intuitive or easy as drag / drop and IMO I still think we need this feature for real. ...

James Kolb. Why do you say that background rendering can't happen while editing? My knowledge of programming while not extensive leads me to believe it could work by locking the part being rendered so that it can't be edited, which should prevent most errors? Rarely does editing use the entire CPU / GPU / RAM so there's a buffer that can be used for background rendering. Render entire sequence in background: - rendering an entire sequence could work by locking that particular sequence and any nested sequences. - select a sequence, click to render in background, that sequence locks up and I can continue working on other sequences while that one renders for me to review shortly. Render selected area / workbar in background - Again, the select length of timeline could just be locked if this causes a problem and I can render a part of a sequence while working on another part. RAYG (Render as you go) - Like After Effects. In PPro, every time I stop on an unrendered frame, it will render it after a second or so. Why not save that rendered frame every time so that it doesn't have to be rendered again? That's what After Effects does, and it reduces render time by a good chunk. ... View more

How come it takes 3 years to "look into something"? Maybe it would be better to take some time out to "look into" creating a decision-making progress that would address how user feature requests are handled? At the very least, have the decency and respect for your customers to give us a regular (monthly?) update on major requests like this even if there's no change. Nothing says "I want your money and not you" more than an unresponsive business. ... View more

Background render would be amazing. My problem is that: - Our video projects are stored on a network server. Although we have between 1-10GbE connection to server, it still slows down render times. - When rendering sequence, I can't do an ounce of work in PPro. When doing general editing work, I'm rarely using more then 75% processing capacity, generally around 30-60%, there's plenty of of processer room to render a sequence in background. - CPU / RAM / GPU usage to be capped to a user setting so that we can adjust how much power can be used when rendering in background. (Prevents it freezing up PC while editing) - Sequence could be locked while rendering in background. Projects I work on always have multiple sequences, if I could let one render in background while I worked on another that would be very useful. ... View more

Been struggling with this exact issue (4k nested footage blacking out), spent a while redoing the work, then looked up a bunch of tutorials to find out what I was doing wrong. Nothing I found told me to do anything different so just googled the error and this is top result. As usual with most Premiere Pro problems, I find it to be a years old bug that has never been fixed. Already started learning Davinci Resolve. I've decided that every time I hit an Adobe bug / issue in future, I will watch 1x YouTube tutorial on Davinci. That way, I figure it's in Adobe's hands how quickly I move away from Premiere Pro! ... View more

Other option is to use Nvidia control panel to stitch all monitors together into a single window, and then maximising PPro will make it full screen across all monitors. You can then change the panels about to fit the windows. Only works on same resolution monitors though. ... View more

On windows, I eventually solved this by going to all the Adobe preference folders I knew about and adding "Everyone" with "Full control":     These are the locations I updated: %appdata%\Adobe\ %appdata%\..\Local\Adobe\ %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Adobe\ For each "Adobe" folder, right click and open properties, go to the Security tab, and open "Advanced".   Click the "Add"button and then "Select a principle" and enter "Everyone" and OK.   Give it full control OK your way out of this. Above fixed the problem for me, might help someone else...       ... View more

+1 on this.  I have a rule that its easier and cheaper to fix something before shooting then after, if it can be done.   However there's several ways to fix this.  This is called the "strobe effect" and usually means that your video type is set to the wrong frequency.  Find out whether you should be shooting in PAL or NTSC in your region, getting this right fixes 99% of strobe effects.  the other 1% can be fixed by adjusting shutter speed as @basil1891 says.   A simple fix that sometimes works in post is to duplicate the footage, overlay them and offset one by a single frame.  Then play with the opacity and you can often fix strobe effects by doing this.  Drop opacity to 60-90% and try a few mix modes: "multiply", "overlay", "linear light", "pin light" can all work well for this depending on the footage.   Otherwise it's down to plugins I'm afraid.  (This is annoying me, I feel like just a week or so ago I found a built in effect in either Premiere or After Effects that fixed this issue and made a mental note to try it out.  Can't for the life of me find it now) ...

Getting the same problem today on an older project I'm reworking.  Downloaded complete project from my archives with all the .ae files etc.  The Ppro project and AE files had to be updated to work with latest version of their apps, but I did and saved down.  However, it's impossible to relink the AE files back into the project.  They're currently showing as "offline".  When I "Relink Media" everything freezes up.  I've tried importing the AE file directly into the project, also freezes everything up.   Not sure what to do next, really CBA to rebuild the project from scratch. ...

As @Mylenium states, there are no event listeners in After Effects Expressions.  I have found a way to work what you want without extra controls, but it involves having a third dropdown property called "custom".  See screenshots below.   However this way doesn't update cleanly in Essential Graphics and I would recommend against using this in a MOGRT, just in case you were thinking of.  AE expressions are limited I'm afraid - I often have to add some extra controls to EG to keep things working reliably.  IMHO I think you're better off adding a checkbox, I know it can feel clunky but in the limitations of AE, I think it's the most reliable option.       ...

I'm interested in this @Mylenium  - how do you achieve it without an extra control?  How does expression evaluation order make any difference - as far as I can tell, if the color is set by expression it's impossible to change it from the front end.  Be interested to see any examples. ... View more
