Premiere trimming

7thWave · Post by **7thWave** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 5:22 am

Hey guys,

I started a new project and bumped into a silly problem.
I cant see any frames while trimming my clips. They do showup while panning through the timelanr but previewing frames while trimming works way faster.

The clips are encoded in Huffy and im using Premiere Pro v7.0

Ijust know its just a litlle button that will fix my noobie problem.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

As far as I know, you trim your clips right on the timeline. I use Adobe Premiere Elements and I just trim them right on the timeline.

I know how 2 trim, thats not the prob. And like you say I trim my clips on the timeline. When I was working on a windsurf DVD i could see were I was in the clip while trimming.

Now I have 2 trim it, slide the timeline marker over it and then see how much more I need 2 trim. Its kinda hard 2 explain... but saves so much time when it just works normal with the preview while trimming my clips.
I just know that it must be some setting but I cant find ou which.

If I understand you correctly you mean that when you're dragging the beginning or end of a clip back and forth, the frame in the monitor should change to what frame you've currently trimmed the clip (while you're still pressing the mouse button).
It's been a while since I last worked with Premiere Pro, but I had the very same problem. It worked perfectly well in Premiere 6.5, but I couldn't figure out how to make this work in Pro. I eventually figured the people at Adobe are idiots and learned to work without it.

I would be great if someone has a solution to this.

Exactly

I don't know about Adobe beeing idiots cause Almost every app I use starts with that name

Premiere Pro is currently showing the frame correctly while I'm trimming... I don't think there is any sort of setting to enable or disable this functionality. Premiere Pro is buggy as hell though

Can't you, like, double-click on the clip in the Timeline to bring it up in the Source Monitor (the left one), then scroll/step/jog/shuttle to the frame you want and hit O (or the Out Point button) to set it as the new out point? (or I for the in point, whichever...)

I can do that, but then you are able 2 trim the whole source clip ( it does show a colored bar of the clip you trimmed so far) but that doest really speed it the proces. The fastest way was seeing while trimming in the timeline.

Thanks for your help and comments all.
I hope some1 is gonna reply with the golden tip, how 2 turn it on, if possible.

I think they fixed it between Pro 1.0 and Pro 1.5. It works in 1.5.
