Media manager mess

Am encountering an issue with "media manager" in FCP.
I wanted to create one master file for my latest project with all relevant clips and resources, so i made a "copy" of the project in media manager and then chose to "delete" (though not permanently) any material not used in the project.
Everything seemed to be fine but I wound up with a bizzare problem on the audio timeline line - audio seemed to cut and then repeat itself - as if a duplicate tack had been produced and then laid in 1 minute into the film.
Anyone know of this issue? Am trying the process again.
Thanks
Andy

The ProRes capture would be cleaner than DVCPROHD would be.
I'm not surprised deleting unused media was where the problem lied... truncating GOP structures is no mean feat I'll wager, and likely not a huge priority for the FCP team. After all, tape is disappearing and will be gone from the scene in fairly short order most likely... AVCHD makes more sense.. that way you'd have smaller files to begin with (not whole tape captures for example), and managing it would be a lot easier. But I'm digressing....
Even capturing to DVCPROHD will result in a lot larger files though smaller than the ProRes captures. I'd suggest maybe if you source HDV as HDV and just live with the MM problems, render to prores in your sequences (it's 40% faster than native HDV rendering), you'll not be as worried about the storage space not saved through media management because the files are so much smaller in the first place...? Dunno.. need to know more about your workflow in general to make a suggestion that really is based in something meaningful to your particular needs. But figure I should through out what I'm thinking.

  • Media Manager Problem

    Here is my problem, I have installed BlackBerry Desktop Manager version 4.2, 4.3, and 4.5, (not at the same time, of course) and have been attempting to open up Media Manager on each version. On every single version it has given me the same exact error. When I click on the Media Manager icon in the Desktop Manager, a window pops up entitled "Format Loader: LoadImage" with the message
    "Image file "file::C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\Common Resources\Shared\Generic\Images\About_RIM_Background.png" cannot be loaded".
    After I click OK on that, another very similar window pops up saying
    "Image file "file::C:\Program Files\Roxio\Media Manager 9\Resources\Default\Generic\Images\AboutMM.png" cannot be loaded".
    After clicking OK there, the "MediaManager9 Module has encountered a problem and needs to close." window pops up, asking me to send the error report. I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP 3 if I remember correctly. My phone is the Blackberry Curve 8310 with AT&T
    Things I have already done
    -Reinstalled
    -Repaired Installation
    -Redownloaded
    -Downloaded different version
    -Tore my hair out
    Anyway, please help. Thanks, much appreciated.

    Hi Moskvich!
    Just to let you know first of all there is a know issue with XP and Roxio working together, as per the Tech
    that I just talked to last night.
    First of all, when you install, uninstall, install, uninstall, etc.... any program, you can run into a problem.
    I would not try this at home unless you are really familiar with this step, because it WILL mess up your computer
    if you do it wrong.  Unless you know someone who has knowledge on it.  Good Knowledge!!
    :  Because the program was installed several times you should, or have someone else, go into the registry and delete
    all the files, AND O N LY the files that are associated with the Media Manager.  Again, if you delete the wrong files it will 
    prevent that program from functioning properly.
    Then restart the computer and reinstall one, and only one program.
    Just an FYI:  I also am having some problem with it freezing up and getting errors.  But what I have found out is that
    it works better if I shut down the Media manager first before I unhook the phone from the computer, or shut down the
    Desktop Manager.
    Also, be careful on what you are doing and not trying to do different things while using the M. Manger.  It seems to 
    be very sensitive with other programs running.
    Remember, this is not a fix.  But may help.  Every computer is different.  There might just be a compatibility issue
    with what you are running on your computer.
    Hope it helps.
    By the way, don't pull your hair out, you'll need it at a later date!!!!!!!! 

  • Bullseye Media Manager

    Hello,
    I just finished a working version of a media manager I use for my personal account to handle my music and pictures collection. I decided to published it on AUR as I assume it might interest some people.
    It's a python app with several modules.
    Here's a little sum up of what it is about :
    Music module
    - Inspired by Amarok 1.4 and Exaile
    - Library browser show rating sum, playcount sum and burn factor by node (artist, album, track, etc...). Burn factor is high if you've listened a lot to a few tracks of a node.
    - Advanced queue managment with several flags to apply on queued tracks :
    Stop flag : Once the player is done playing this track it will stop global playback
    Temp jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then go back where it left
    Perm jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then continue playback from here
    Bridge source : Once the player is done playing this track, it will move to the bridge dest of this bridge source (if there is one)
    Bride dest : Tells that this track is where the matching bridge source will lead when listened
    - Passive filters : hide tracks you do not want to see by showing only those matching filters, useful if you have a large collection and at some point just listen to a few tracks. Can be seen as content view modes.
    - Session saving/loading
    - Last.fm scrobbling with offline cache support
    - Function to sync playcounts with Last.fm account
    - Function to import ratings from another Bullseye database (including BullseyeDroid)
    Other modules (pictures, videos, and later custom)
    - Manages files based on what there are and not just where they are on the disk
    Basically, what you have to do with these modules is creating categories (~ based on subject form) and universes (~ based on subject content). Then after Bullseye has scanned indexed folders for new files, you load some of these files and drag and drop them in the matching categories / universes. You can create an arborescence of categories and universes. For example, I can create the root category "Characters" and a sub-category "Warriors" to it. I can also create a root universe "Dragon Ball" and a sub-universe "Piccolo" to it. Then if I have a picture of the warrior character Piccolo from Dragon Ball, I'll load it and drag and drop it in "Warriors" and "Piccolo". This picture will then matches the criteria "Characters", "Warriors", "Dragon Ball" and "Piccolo".
    - Can move every indexed files to a proper structure. If you just download and copy files, search for them in Bullseye then add them in the proper category and universe, it will work. But it will be a real mess on disk. Bullseye can move every indexed files to a proper structure on disk, based on categories, universes or both.
    - Function to check for doubloons
    - Video & Music module support multiple backends : GStreamer, VLC, Phonon and MPlayer (not there right now)
    Music module browser and flags demo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF5114mLWhQ
    Categories & Universes management introduction with pictures module : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3i1plNSpsg
    Gtk2 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58903
    Qt4 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58905
    Theses versions are not really polished but should work quite properly (but they probably contain bugs since no one has used them except me).
    Thanks for any feedback.

    As a side note, there seems to be a lot of differences between the gtk and qt versions. Aside from potentially not having qt installed, is there a reason to maintain two versions? Alternatively, i wonder if it would make since to separate the project into a library and the gui's which implement the library (kind of like xmms and mpd do)? These are just ramblings, so feel free to ignore this part of my reply. the important part is the patch. :-)

  • Media Manager missing (not highlighte​d) in v4.7

    My first blackberry - a Bold 9000 and V4.6 from the CD but had issues originally with PC syncronisation therefore loaded 4.7 from the web.  After much time spent on the phone with Orange (dialled 328) we got it working and all has been fine until today when I want to move pictures and video from the Bold phone to my PC.  The Media Manager is grey-ed out from V4.7. Any ideas what to do?  
    Solved!

    1) you don't need the Media Manager if it's just to put some media files on your device :

    HOWTO : use your blackberry as a USB device
    2) if you really need the Media Manager, you have to uninstall your today Desktop Manager, and download the bundle "Desktop Manager + Media Manager". You can do that by clicking on the "SOFTWARE" button on top of this page, then on the bottom right corner for Desktop.

  • FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

    Hi!
    We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
    We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
    We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
    Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
    Thank you!

    Hi! And thanx for the tip.
    But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
    We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
    SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
    Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
    Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

  • Problems launching media manager

    I want to transfer pictures from my BB to PC and vice versa.  When I click on 'Launch' Media Manager, nothing happens.  Did I not install this properly?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Quite possibly. Is the Media Manager button greyed out? If so, then you did not install the version of DTM that includes MM (there are multiple versions). However, to move pictures, MM is not really necessary IMHO (for video files, yes, but not for stills). Rather, you could simply configure your BB as a USB drive(s) and just use Windows Explorer to do that. See this article:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/mess​age?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&thread.id=3​...
    Otherwise, if you want to restart the DTM install completely, see this process:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Media Manager . . . can't find . . .

    My file management's a mess . . . I fully admit it. (OK - ok - next time I'll try harder - I PROMISE).
    But the 80 min project plays fine in FCP and I've burned to DVD etc - all's good.
    Now I want to use MM to boil the whole thing down into one Folder and ditch the unused stuff.
    Trouble is, every time MM gets started on the work, it keeps coming up with files it can't find.
    Sometimes, it's files that are in my main media folder (where most of the other stuff it found with no problem, is too) - and often when I show it the file, it just keeps telling me it can't find it - ad nauseum!
    Sometimes, what it can't find looks like a bunch of numbers that mean nothing to me - even Spotlight can't find them. (I do have all both external drives running),
    This is really tiresome.
    Any ideas?

    G5 Quad. 8 GB. 250 & 500 GB Int'l Drives. G-Tech G-Raid 1 TB. FCP 5.0.4 (Studio)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Sony HVR-Z1E . . . I mark my questions Solved or Helpful - and I LOVE FCP.

    Very strange, isn't it!
    A similar thing happened in FCP with this project.
    After I'd done some media management of my own (last year sometime) one of the music tracks started coming up as offline every time I started FCP.
    I just reconnected by locating the relevant file (which was still in the same folder with the rest of the music tracks) but it kept happeneing.
    Eventually, I deleted the music track and relevant clip, saved the project, emptied the trash, re-imported the clip I'd dragged back from my external backup and guess what ?. . . The problem still persisted for some weeks!
    Eventually it righted itself - not sure why!

  • FCP, STP, Media Manager happy together?

    Background:
    With FCP 5.1.2 I am having some issues with media managing a 25 minute SD sequence from a large project. My goal is to move the sequence and clips to an external drive from the main editing system.
    The problem is that when I media manage(MM) the sequence (copying the clips, creating a new project, including non-active multiclip angles), the collection of media and clips copied by the MM does not include every clip used in the sequence. It gets most of them, but misses about 20 out of 450 clips used.
    Other odd facts of note:
    The resulting MM'ed project contains both sequences and clips that do not appear to be used in the original sequence. So, while some clips are missing, FCP is making it up by throwing in a few random ones. Thanks?
    When reconnecting the media, I get a modal dialog (from QT I am guessing) saying: "Effect975120BA-9850-4E#2043.aif cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly. Cancel? Search?" This looks like a reference movie problem, but to my knowledge we have never used QT reference movies.
    There are also references to .stap files, which I cannot find anywhere. Each .stap file seems to be missing a "render.mov" file.
    Question 1:
    We've used STP on some of the audio files in the sequence. I am guessing we either used it incorrectly, or that round-tripping in STP conflicts somehow with using the media manager? Are there any known issues here?
    Question 2:
    In trying to track down why some of the clips do not get their media copied, I exported the MMed project file to XML v3 and looked at the missing clip. Here is the weird file section from the clip:
    <file id="QTMRead">
    <pathurl>file://localhost/Applications/Final%20Cut%20Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/</pathurl>
    <rate>
    <timebase>24</timebase>
    <ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>
    </rate>
    <duration>3808</duration>
    <media>
    <audio>
    <samplecharacteristics>
    <samplerate>48000</samplerate>
    <depth>32</depth>
    </samplecharacteristics>
    <channelcount>1</channelcount>
    </audio>
    </media>
    </file>
    Uh, what is my clip looking for a plug in?
    Any and all help appreciated, thanks in advance.

    1. I am sure she has more than one batch of files named "untitledxx" in her numerous capture scratch folders. If I do media manager will it keep them separated and properly linked to it's intended clip, or will Media manager throw them all together, thus confusing FCP?
    I noticed an option on media manager that asks if you want to base media file names by their exsisting file names, or clip names.
    She does a decent job correctly labeling her clips in the bin, just not the captured source files, by basing the media on clip will it solve my issue mentioned above? <
    Unknown, sorry, this is why you want to run a test, probably more than one. The source media files will not have exactly the same names--oh, you have separate capture folders. Okay, this WILL be a problem.
    <div class="jive-quote">2. Deleting unused media...I should uncheck this right? otherwise i may loose clips I need or want to use? Is this why the green bar labeled modified is smaller than the original bar? What does including affiliate clips outside selection mean? < </div>
    This is one of the things that tells me MM was designed by or purchased from someone who has not prior knowledge of FCP. This actually means the copy will forget and refuse to copy over any unused media. But it scare the bejeezus out of everyone. "DELETE?" Ohmygawd, NO!
    3. And my best bet for right now is to copy the media, rather than move, decompress, or use existing? that way if anything messes up, i can still use her drives. < </div>
    Affirmative. Still, make some tests so you are confident with the MM results. You're on the right track, luck.

  • Tour 9630 won't work with Desktop Manager/Media Manager

    Just got this BB from Verizon, everything works fine but when I plug it into my PC the Desktop Manager software is a mess.  I'm running Win XP.  I've double checked all the USB connections, uninstalled and reinstalled the the BB software and taken the BB battery out and put it back, so it's none of those things.  I brought the BB back to Verizon they said "it's working fine, must be a driver or something, duh".
    When I plug in the BB and bring up Desktop Manager sometimes the BB is recognized sometimes not.  When I try to use the Roxio Media Manager it comes halfway up but the hourglass cursor never goes away and it just sits there thinking for hours.  Sometimes I get a pop up saying " First Time Configuration...., it won't let hit any of the choices, I just have the hourglass thinking.  I always have to hit Ctl, Alt, Del and call up my task manager to quite the program because the hourglass never turns back into the cursor.   I just want to manage my media.  This is very frustrating.

    HI - I have the exact same problem as this post. Yes- i've uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop manager software- I plug in my BB tour 9630 and I get would you like MSP- I click yes and get nothing in the managerManger. No options. If I click NO the only thing I can do is back updata- No media downloads.
    It was working fine until last Sunda and I've changed nothing on my laptop. The USG port works perfect and the cable is new.

  • Media Manager does not work

    I have an 8700C.  I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager V4.6.0.12 and I have V4.2.1.96 (Platform 2.3.0.79) OS installed on my device.  When I go into the Media icon in Desktop Manager I have a split screen with Media Manager on the left and Blackberry Media Sync on the right.  The Start button for Media Manager is grayed out.  I installed Media Sync, was told to install iTunes, and then told my device is not supported for Media Sync.  I have not been able to get Media manager to work since Desktop Manager version 4.1 or 4.2. 

    Hi and welcome to the forums,
    I would recommend doing a clean uninstall of the DN v.6 with Media Manager,using the following:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
     Reboot the PC, and download and install  DM 4.6 without the media manager. If you search the forums you will see that media manager is not very stable. Personally I use the drag and drop method through Windows (must have media card installed,) very quick and efficient.

  • Media Manager does not appear on my second stb

    I downloaded Verizon Media Manager and installed it without problems.  When I checked my HD stb the program is listed and I could use it.  I do not have any kind of recorder on the network.  When I check my non HD stb the VMM does not appear.  This is the unit I want to use as it will allow me to play music through the home theater sound system.
    So, am I limited because I do not have a recorder or does the feature not work on non HD stb?  If this is the case, I might as well delete the program from my PC.
    Solved!

    Hi. I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately at this time, the standard def STBs do not work with Media Manager. It doesn't have to be a DVR, but the stb has to be an HD box. If you do not wish to upgrade the STD box at this time and depending on your setup, you can always swap the STBs and move the media manager functionality to where you want it. 

  • FCP 6, Media Manager, DualEyes Problem

    I've locked picture on a 90 minute feature and I'm trying to export the sequence to an external drive so our colorist can do the grading.
    The camera original footage came from various Canon DSLRs. Some of the footage was transcoded (Pro Res 422 HQ) off site and delivered to me. But most of the footage, I transcoded myself, using log and transfer.
    I highlight the sequence I want to export in the FCP browser, then right click, but when I click “Media Manager”, nothing happens. The little icon spins for a split second, then nothing.
    The same thing happens if I try to open Media Manager from the top menu. Nothing. Won’t open.
    Everything in the timeline plays just fine. Exporting the timeline as a self-contained or reference file works without any problem.
    It seems Media Manager doesn't like certain clips in the timeline.
    I went through the timeline one clip at a time and started to compare the clips MM had a problem with versus those it didn't have a problem with.
    It seems the offending clips are all clips that were created in DualEyes, off site, to sync second system audio.
    Clips that I synched here, on site, using PluralEyes, do not offend Media Manager.
    I don't know that this matters, but...
    The offending DualEyes-created files that were created off site include a single, merged file - a video track and three audio tracks (a pair of tracks from the second system audio, and a single track from the camera mic that was used for reference).
    One last thing I tried to confirm it was the created-off-site DualEyes files that were keeping MM from working...
    I imported two files, residing in the same folder on the HD.
    File A had been synched using DualEyes. It has a video track and three audio tracks (one from camera mic, two from second system audio).
    File B had not been synched (an MOS take). It has a video track and two audio tracks (camera mic).
    I laid both clips in the timeline, next to each other.
    If I right click on File A and then click Media Manager, I get an "Error 34" message.
    If I right click on File B and then click Media Manager, Media Manager opens normally.
    Any idea what's going on here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm running...
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
    2.4GHz 8-Core MacPro
    6 GB RAM
    OSX 10.6.8
    8TB G-Tech esPRO RAID 5 (4.8 TBs used)

    I have no idea why this problem is occuring, but you might try deleting the audio from your sequence before doing the media manage.  You could then copy a mixed down track to the media managed sequence if you want audio reference.
    Also, select one of the problematic clips and hit command-9 (clip settings) and tell us the settings for the clip.

  • Creating a new project with media manager

    This one should be obvious but I can't quite figure it out: I used media manager to recompress my project into a smaller one. Media manager did a nice job with that and placed all the files into a new folder BUT - where is the actual project file?? If I use the actual fcp project file from the original- the settings are all different and it told me that some media files are missing or too short. Doesn't media manager create a new project file that works with the new recompressed files that it just created??

    BUT - where is the actual project file??
    When you have decided on the settings in Media Manager and then tell it to do the job, the first thing you see is a dialog asking where to save the project file. Use Spotlight to search for it.
    If that doesn't turn anything up, start MM again, it might have remembered the last Save location.
