'' is missing - loosing links to JPG's

Hi
I'm Working in FCP Studio 2. Timeline is 720p ProRes 422. All the footage is jpg's.
I'm part of a 3 suites editorial section without a server which means that the projects and media are updated manually every morning.
i ran into a big problem the other day when a project that was not moved or updated (during that day) lost the connection to about a 100 jpg's. and i get the the: '' is missing.
I had the same problem when the sound files that we're using had renamed on the finder level but not in FCP.
any solution of how to avoid or fix this problem?
thanks
Oded

Same!
It only does it on my timeline, so I guess that in my case it means that the sequence(s) itself is offline, not all the clips, (as I can still see & play them). Don't know if you got the same or just all the clips?
And when I'm trying to reconnect each file (from browser) on time, nothing really happens. I can reconnect them from the sequence, but as my sequences are 20 - 40 min long, I wouldn't want to do it each clip on time. And though all my files have the correct reel & name, I need to uncheck the "Matched name and reel only"
I'm not using external hard drive, the project and the files has not been moved. I really hate this!
Does anyone know what the " stands for?

  • Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?

    Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?
    We are sorting out our filing system and want to be able to move files and rushes to new locations without loosing the links between them, is their a way of doing this? When using InDesign you package a file and it creates a folder of links and fonts, something like this would be useful.

    Have a look at the Project Manager.

  • Loosing Links in Premiere Pro CS4

    I copied the folders of a couple projects to a back-up drive for future use.  I didn't use the Project Manager, because I copied everything related to my project within it's own self-contained folder structure.  Since I copied everything "as is" from the original drive to the back-up I thought there would be no loss of links.  All 3 of my project now will not load, even if I copy them back to the original drive.  Note: I did recently change the drive letter to the drive the project was originally copied from.  Re-linking would be very time consuming at this point.  Why am I loosing links when the have not actually moved?

    If your files are located on the same drive (letter) and with the exact same directory structure, relinking should not be necessary. However, if the program asks for file X, relinking is easy, just point to the file searched for and the other files will be found automatically. You may need to repeat that for other directories.

  • Missing Internal Linked Story (CS6)

    Hello all!
    I have just opened a document in InDesign CS6 which I created myself a few days back. I copied and pasted text from Microsoft Word to Notepad and then into InDesign (I probably didn't need to do the Notepad step but just in case).
    The text is divided in small boxes so just importin the Word Document wouldn't have worked for me in this case.
    Regardless, now that I have opened this file again, I get some weird link error where it says I am missing story links in each box. Here is the screenshot.
    The text is still present and editable and acts just as any text, which is what I expect it to do. However I don't understand the issue with the missing linked story, especially since I didn't even import anything: I copied and pasted the text.
    I have no idea of how to solve this, in practice it doesn't affect the document and I can export the file with no issues, but I still would like to know what InDesign is on about.
    Thanks in advance!

    Heya, sorry what preference are you referring to?
    Edit: Oh nevermind the screenshot didn't load for some reason. It's turned off already. But maybe for some reason it was on when I first made the file *shrug* Although I didn't touch that option at all.
    Also if you read that option carefully it says "When placing", and I didn't place anything, I copied and pasted.
    Nice try though, thanks anyway
    I guess it's a bug rather than something solvable by logic.

  • Adobe InDesign CC looses links randomly. How to correct this ?

    Hi
    InDesign CC looses links randomly. I need to update them regularly, and then they get lost again and so on. Hence my question: how to avoid that ?
    PS: I was previously working on Indesign CS4, and never had this issue.
    Thanks

    Basically, when i open the file, everything is fine.
    1 - Then, the ‘warning’ icon appears on 1 link, then 2, until all links are lost.
    2 - I then need to update these links. To do so, I select the links in the links panel, right click, and then click ‘update link’.
    3 – then, after a while, links start to get lost again, so back to 1.
    I have to mention that I don’t have these issues with all files, but with around 4-5 of them.
    Everything was working fine when I was on CS4, it just appeared when I switched to CC.
    Hoping this can help understanding…

  • Random Missing/Modified Links

    For the past couple of days I have been experiencing random missing/modified links showing up in preflight.
    I am using CS4 on Windows 7... all of the graphics are stored on a shared network, but no one was using them when the issues started.
    When I see the missing/modified links error, I relink them and go back to editing the document... within 15-20 min they are back. Until this afternoon, I go to relink them... and they fix themselves *scratches head*
    Any ideas what could cause this type of behavior?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Possibly a time synch problem.

  • Regarding creating a LOOSE LINK between Sales Order and Vehicle

    Hi,
    Does anyone has any idea on how to establish a LOOSE LINK between Sales Order and Vehicle using BAPI_VEHICLE_CREATE or any other Function module.
    Any help will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
    Kind Regards,
    Tanuja

    Dear Kumar,
    Strategy - 40
    Consumption of PIR (not Redution)
    1) the first point in strategy in 40 is, incoming sales order consumes PIR
    2 )both sales order and PIR takes place in MRP planning run
    2) this is where it is in mostly used in many indutries
    just a small example how this strategy works
    1) creat PIR for ur FERT- 100Nos
    2) check in MD04- u will get PIR (VSF) as 100
    3) now creat sales order for 120 for same month
    4 )run MRP for that particular FERT
    5) check the result in MD04, here ur PIR gets vanishied and an plan order will be generated for 120 Nos.
    Regards

  • ITunes linking to JPGs in strange folders & missing files

    I was using iTunes on a PC, via a NAS drive where I keep my music. I want to start using iTunes on a MacBook so pointed iTunes on the Mac to the shared music folder on the NAS. I had the usual exclamation marks on some of the tracks, so went in to the folders to locate the files. A lot are now missing from the folders - i.e. half the albums are gone or complete artists are missing.
    The second and most strangest part that I cannot understand is that when I look on some tracks in 'Get Info' and 'Where', some of the files have been moved to obscure locations and are showing as jpgs. When I go into the folder, all there is is JPGs! The music plays fine for these files, however I can't locate the rest of my missing files as they no longer have the correct filenames or even extensions. Example below.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Somehow they got deleted from the PC's hard drive, but iTunes didn't get told about it.
    Just find those podcasts in iTunes and delete them.

  • Missing photo links - changing name of external Hard Drive location

    I have searched for the answer to this high and low without success if someone can help...
    I have a large collection of photos that I store on an external firewire hard drive (too many to store on my macbook pro). My iphoto library is on my Mac and when importing photos to iphoto I did not import the files so the originals remain on the external hard drive and are therefore linked to in iphoto.
    I did it this way, rather than storing the library database on the external drive, so that I could access the information and thumbnails when travelling and not connected to my external drive.
    I've upgraded my external hard drive and it will have a different name. I need to transfer all the photos across to the new hard drive.
    Is there a quick way to reconnect all my original photos when transferred to the new hard drive or a better way to transfer them? Having tried to copy them across manually, obviously as expected I get a missing photo exclamation mark and am asked to browse to the file to relink. This is OK to reconnect one or two photos, but would take me forever with 17,000.
    I remember Adobe Photo Album had a command reconnect missing files, and it would go off and search for the files you may have moved location (or changed the directory name in which they were held). Is such a function available in iphoto? I've tried the iphoto re-build functions, but this doesn't look in other attached volumes for the photos.
    Alternatively, is there a way to edit the iphoto library database to do a search and replace of the Volume name to the new name and reconnect the link to then photos? e.g. Can you manually edit the albumdata.xml file (and would this be the file to edit) for example, and rebuild the database with Photo Library Manager?
    Can you re-import all the photos from the new location, and rebuild the links that way, or does this create duplicate entries and not merge album, keyword event data etc for each photo?
    My last resort is re-importing all the photos again, but of course I'd loose all my keywords, albums, events and other info I've spent a long time entering into iphoto.
    Thanks
    Phil

    I just wanted to close this off to say that my solution worked fine and my iphoto libraries are up and running in perfect order again. And to summarise the solution so you don't have to read the entire post above.
    This solution is for those wanting to have the iphoto library on your Mac and store the original photos linked elsewhere on an external / network drive (i.e. not imported into the iphoto library). Then you want to change the location where the originals are stored (say for example you get a new bigger external Hard Drive - like I did), and that new location will have a different name. Most people recommend importing the photos into the iphoto library, keeping everything together, and this can then be moved anywhere and accessed.
    So to summarise, if you are moving original photos linked into iphoto:
    1. Back up everything you can first...
    2. First try moving the files (not copying and deleting) - the aliases may reconnect, especially if they are on your main HD. You may need to manually reconnect one file in each sub-directory.
    3. Move your photos to your external HD / network drive. Note if the new place has the same name as your old external HD then the aliases probably won't need to be fixed.
    4. Download and install File Buddy or similar Alias 'fixer'
    5. Go to your iphoto Library, right click, "Show Package Contents"
    6. Copy the "Originals" directory to another location so that file buddy can read it.
    7. Run File buddy, fixing the aliases in your copy of the Originals folder, pointing to where you've moved your photos too (restrict the directories as much as possible where you point file buddy to search for the missing files to speed it up). You will only have issues if you have multiple copies of the same file - i.e. that have the same file name and creation date, and file buddy will give you a list of these. This in itself is a good check to see you don't have the same file in two places - I only had issues with folders of photos that I'd been given from family in which there were multiple copies of the same photo. I've now cleaned these up, saved space and ran file buddy again to finish the job off.
    8. Finally, move this now fixed "Originals" folder back into your iphoto library (package contents) - writing over / replacing the original "Originals" directory.
    All being well, should be fixed!
    Just to share with you the benefits I find of having my photos stored on an external HD and the iphoto library on my Macbook:
    -- Saves space on my limited internal HD
    -- others can access the photos, set up and manage their own iphoto libraries pointing at the same originals, and we don't need two copies of the original files
    -- I can access the iphoto library and manage albums, add keywords, titles, etc when not connected to the External HD, though you're limited to viewing the (not too small) thumbnail pictures iphoto stores in its library
    I'm loving iphoto even more now, it makes managing and viewing my 1000's of photos a pleasure.
    Cheers
    Phil

  • Missing image link

    hello.
    one of the rollover images on my webpage does not show up and
    only shows a red x. i've checked all the rollover links and
    everything is correct. i've also checked that all images are
    uploaded to the site. i can't seem to find a solution. could
    someone please help? this is the page link:
    http://www.pwlarchitect.com/nav.data_/nav.html
    everything works just fine in safari but doesn't work in
    internet explorer.
    thanks for your help!

    Right click on that image and properties and you'll get the
    path of the missing image. For your case it is:

    which you can see is missing.

  • Missing image links NOT alerted, and not in Links panel

    Don't know if this is a consequence of shifting my files and account across to a new Mac Pro, and re-configuring hard drive locations where linked image files are, but... I'm working on a document that spanned systems - finally coming to completion, and I'm writing the print PDF and found this problem.
    InDesign CC 9.2.1 running on Mavericks 10.9.2 is NOT indicating missing links images in the Links panel. In fact it's not indicating the image on the page is even in the document - it doesn't appear in the Links panel, even though I see the image on the page.
    I noticed this when proof checking a high res print PDF, and the image looked low-res. Odd as it shouldn't be.  Went back to InDesign file to interrogate the image, and found when I clicked on it, it wasn't highlighted in the Links panel - where I have the Warnings, dpi and other columns active so I can quickly check problems. It wasn't there at all. InDesign seems to be blind to the image.  When I right click the rogue images on the page I don't get the 'Graphics' section at the bottom of the drop down menu as I do with ok images.  I guess because InDesign doesn't even know it's there?
    Basically the image is visibly on the page, but InDesign doesn't appear to know about it.....  What gives?  I'm having to go through a long document now clicking on each image to check it's showing in the Links panel, then relinking every image that appears to be completely lost as far as InDesign is concerned not even knowing it's there.
    I have "Reset All Warning Dialogues". Made no difference.
    I worry about what other files are going to do this to me now and how much time will be wasted carefully checking validity of every image.

    Thanks Peter, maybe that's it although I don't recall using that method of putting the image in the layout. It's not something I would normally do. Its some months ago mind you, and the client did send me a bunch of images to consider using so I may have just dragged their images into my early layout while scamping up the first draft, and it may be these images that have been 'lost' by I.D.
    I normally create an image frame into which, using Edit - Place, select the image from a folder on the drive.
    Sometimes (because the preview of images in the ID Place dialogue is so slow to build) I view images in a Finder window and select from there, drag-and-drop into a pre-sized Image frame in I.D.
    I may have dragged an image direct from the Finder into Indesign not first creating an image frame for it to be placed into. But I thought I.D. would still note it as a Link asset, else why allow images of any kind into the layout if Links doesn't keep track of them for pre-press proofing use etc.
    The (in the end just 4) images that were completely unknown to InDesign were all in image frames, scaled and cropped within the frame bounds. So I wasn't to know months later that I may have drag-dropped the image files uncropped etc into ID then subsequently cropped them (if indeed I had).
    If you're suggesting this method of adding images quickly into I.D. won't list them in the Links panel, then I will make a conscious effort never to use that quick method again!

  • Links in JPG & GIF images.

    Hello board,
    I'm making some JPGs & animated GIFs for my website, and my CMS allows images to link to only a single link; e.g. it
    links the whole image.  Is it possible to embed multiple links in a single image THEN upload to one's CMS?  If so, how?

    Marian Driscoll wrote:
    JPG and GIF image files cannot contain even a single link. Links are only made through HTML.
    You can slice the image (see Photoshop help on 'slicing') and then apply unique links to each slice in the CMS' WYSIWYG editor.
    You can also manually enter a HTML image map for a single image file if your CMS allows raw HTML and does not filter that type of input.
    Or you can use Dreamweaver.
