Premiere Help?

I'm trying to put my movie together in Adobe Premiere CS3. I have each segment as a different project. I made my intro, and copy/pasted the first part in next to it. Fine. I went and copied the second part, but when I opened up the main file again, the audio waveforms of the FIRST PART were gone. No audio. The intro was fine, but that first part was fucked.

How do I deal with this! Someone please help me, its pissing me the fuck off. I'll post this in Movie Maker Crew as well...
 
Just undo what you did until you get back to where you have the audio, then when you want to copy it all, make sure you have the audio selected as well, then paste it into your new timeline.
 
Maybe I didn't explain it right. The intro was already there. I put the first part in. Everything is fine. I save the file, open the project for the second part, copy it. I copy everything, including the audio. Open the main file. THE AUDIO FOR THE FIRST PART IS GONE! I can't undo anything. I'm trying to figure out why it goes away. I would be okay with it and just replace the song but it takes out the audio from the video clips too. The audio clips are still there, there's just nothing in them. The waveforms are blank.
 
Also, when I highlight everything, it doesn't highlight transitions...How do I do that?

Bump.
 
If you wanna select the whole timeline shift + click on the first clip, then scroll to the end and do the same. If you want to just select one transition I think its either ctrl + click or alt + click, not sure what it is on a PC.
 
hmmmm, that doesn't work for me. It just selects the first and last clips.

I need to know how to select everything, video and transition and audio, at the same time...
 
Does the audio get lost when you paste the first part in next to the intro?

Try lock the audio using the little padlock on the audio time line, then save it. Then try again.
 
you dont necessarily have to make separate projects anyway, just use difference sequence, and make one sequence the master timeline, the to put whole segments onto the master timeline without copying and pasting, select the sequence you want in the file list, then drag it onto your master timeline just like you would with the raw footage before you cut it up. this will give you whatever you have in that sequence in one block.

one thing i guess you could since you two already have it in different projects, is just export it in a raw format, then import it into the master project, this would be a problem if you want to go back and edit the segments, as you'd have to do that over again. though allan seems to already know about this.
 
also, if you get too many tabs going, you can clean your workspace by saving (always save as much as possible), then exiting out (closing the tab) of your unused sequences. to bring them back just double click the sequence in the file list.
 
not really, haha. but yeah, maybe look for some tutorials, might help you learn some new things beyond basic use, sometimes they teach you shortcuts, which are always nice. a good thing about sequences too, is if you do need, you can export an individual sequence, as it exports whichever is up on your timeline.
 
Wow dude, I didn't even realize this thread was still around. I'll have to try that. Ryan I'd give you karma but you're at 10 already...
