Reverse a clip in Premiere Pro CS6. When played, on the timeline, it displays very jerkily. Can this be corrected?
Warp Stabilizer states it cannot be used on a clip that is changed this way. Using Nest does not correct this.
If Edit - Undo is selected (twice - for Nest and Warp Stabilizer,to undo those alterations) the jerkiness still remains.
To produce the original (smooth clip) it is necessary to delete the offending clip from the time line and import again.
Alternatively close Premiere (provided nothing has been saved) and open Premiere again.
No comments Have others experienced this? It occurs on both a fairly new laptop and a Desktop, both Windows 7 .
Not much help, but reversing the clip is normally that simple - it just plays smoothly - the only time it's tricky is if you've got a weirdly compressed clip where there are lots of i-frames, which in reverse can make the clip jitter, because they are in the wrong order. Try and export that clip as something sequential, then reimport it and try again.
if you have an issue then perhaps making a new sequence and creating a reversed clip, then exporting it as new to import as a fresh clip back to the original sequence would work?
This problem occurs on both a desktop and a laptop. Both have windows 7 and premiere pro cs6.
Did you try what we suggested?
Had to abandon reversing in this instance. Making a new sequence did not work either..
A entirely new project has since been shot with a different camcorder. Same problem
Reverse a clip; it displays in jerks. Editing in Premiere Pro CS6
Did you try exporting the clip as something uncompressed and reimporting then reversing. .avi would be a good one, as they normally have no issues reversing?
Unsure of this procedure Paul.
Procedure used in Premiere Pro CS6 is::
Right click on the timeline clip.
Select Speed/Duration from the displayed list.
From the displayed dialog box select Reverse Speed and tick box Maintain Audio Pitch..
Press OK.
Clip reverses on timeline. (files are .mts - from sd card).
The problem with some file types is that they are made up of a sequence of frames that need to be replayed in a sequence - it's a space saving feature of some codecs - don't record every frame, just every now and then, and then record the things that have changed. It causes occasional issues in editing accuracy - where you can't select the exact point you want because that frame is one of the 'incomplete' ones. Reversing this kind of footage can often give jittery or unstable results because the sequence of events is 'wrong'. If you bring in the clip to a new project in it's .mts format and then export it as an .avi file - this file is much bigger because it contains every frame. Then bring this file into your project, and try to reverse it. It might work - it's saved my bacon a few times.

So: change .mts to .avi? Is it that simple to do. Never done this.
just go to export media - and you can convert any in to any out - it's a pretty useful device - media encoder, and you can adjust so much. .avi is worth a try, then bring that in and try reversing that. After all this, there is still a chance there is some defect in the coding that is preventing it working g properly, but I suspect it will work.

This may sound rather silly Paul:
File - Export - Media. Where does it go to?
There doesn't appear to be anywhere that it can be told to go - so nowhere to import from.
It won't let me post a screenshot, but when you do the file/export/media, the box pops up and at the top right hand side is export settings, and one says output name, and on mine the preselected name is in blue. click on this and a box pops up with the familiar destination and file name options.

Hi Les
Just sent an e-mail with a screen grab of where you name and where to save your media file. mIt is a JPEG file so double click it to open it.

Done as you descibe Imported - but that is the whole of the timeline.
It has imported the whole sequence as one long shot.
I suggested bringing the clip in as a new project - so the export would be the same length as the original - if you just exported the whole thing, then you have a pretty big file - just top and tail it, and try the reverse and see if it works. P
Investigation of suppliers of CS6 suggests that CS6 has this problem.
Although visual on the edit timeline it.will display as desired on the burnt disc.

Reversed clips played smoothie on my system on 4,5,6 and CC. Did the tip above not work? I tried it on mine, and it's fine once converted to avi?
I will try that when I get that far on this edit. Thank you Paul.
