Clips on Timeline Out of Order

[Chuck Engels]

This could be a problem with Premiere Elements and Pro both, but in this particular case it is Premiere Pro.

HDV project 1080i - don't think that the type of project matters but it may.

The clips in the media panel are all in order 1, 2, 3, .... 101, 102, 103, ....
When dragged and dropped on the timeline they look like this; 1,2,100, 3,4,101, 5,102, 6,....

Also, other sequences in the same project, where the clips were all in order, the clips are now all jumbled up like above.\
This is just too weird and I have never seen this happen before. This is also probably the largest project I have ever worked on, 8 hours of m2t HDV.

If anyone has seen or heard of this before please let me know, maybe just too much for one project and it will be easy enough to create a few small ones so that is what I am going to do for now.

Hi Chuck,

This is basically what I was talking about in:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=819&p=5754&hilit=sequence#p5754

and, more importantly, my first post in

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1032&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=sequence

(bottom of page 2)

Now, how useful was that?

Thanks Brian,
I captured these clips with HDVSplit (m2t files) and they are named correctly, sorry I didn't type the actual clip names just that they were out of order.
The actual clips are 1A001, 1A002, 1A003, ... 1A099, 1A100, 1A101, ... They are in perfect order in the media panel but when they are all selected and dragged to the timeline they are out of order. On the timeline they end up 1A001, 1A002, 1A099, 1A003, 1A004, 1A100, almost a pattern but nothing that really makes any sense.

One of the sequences had all of the clips in correct order on the timeline when the project was saved. When we opened the project later the clips in that sequence were all out of order, really messed up. I am only going by what my daughter has told me, I have not seen this yet.

Oh well, I'll wait to hear what you make of it when you see it
