When editing with Adobe Premiere Pro (PR), you sometimes encounter an issue where footage cannot be dragged onto the timeline. This problem can be caused by a variety of reasons, and below we will analyze it in detail and provide corresponding solutions.
Check the format of the footage: Make sure that the footage you import is in a format that is supported by PR. Common formats supported by PR include MP4, **i, MOV, etc. If the format of the footage is not compatible, you may need to use a format conversion tool to convert it to a format that is supported by PR.
Check the length of your footage: If your footage is very long, it can cause difficulty dragging it. In this case, you can try using the "Mark In" and "Mark Out" functions to take a screenshot of the clip you want and then drag it onto the timeline.
Close other programs: If the PR is running slowly or stuttering, it may cause the footage to not be dragged to the timeline. Shutting down other programs that take up resources and freeing up more memory and CPU resources can help improve the performance of your PR.
Update graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can cause various issues with PRs, including footage not being dragged onto the timeline. Make sure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date, have access to the graphics card manufacturer's official *** and install the latest drivers.
Restart your PR or computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your PR or computer can fix some unknown issues. Try closing and reopening the PR, or restarting your PC and then turning it on again to see if the issue is resolved.
What should I do if the thumbnail is not displayed after the PR material is imported?
If the imported footage doesn't display thumbnails, it may be because the file is corrupted or the format is not supported. Try opening the file with a different *** to check for corruption, or convert the file to a PR supported format. Also, make sure your PR version is up to date, as older versions may have compatibility issues.
How do I quickly import multiple footage into PR?
You can use the PR's Browser panel to quickly import multiple footage. In the Browser, select the folder you want to import, then drag the files from the folder directly into the Project panel. You can also use the Import feature to select multiple files to import.
What should I do if the ** on the PR timeline is out of sync with the audio?
If you find that the ** on the timeline and the audio are out of sync, first check the footage itself for a problem. If you're having trouble with the footage, you can try realigning ** and the audio track on the timeline. You can easily adjust the track position using the Rolling Edit tool or the Ripple Edit tool.
