Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.

FCE media offline but not reconnecting

edit 2: Alright, so if I select and highlight each individual clip on the timeline itself it allows me to reconnect the media. I would still like to know if there's a solution though because I have a lot of clips and having to reconnect media for each individual clip is incredibly frustrating when I know FCE is capable of doing this in batches. So... any help would be wonderful.
Original post:
Hi! I've been working on this video project for a while. I tend to prefer Premeire or Final Cut Pro but my workplace only has Final Cut Express.
I needed to log out and log in a different user since I was going out of town and when I logged back in because some of the files were on a share drive, I had to reconnect media. Which is fine - I've done it before, no problem. I got the media reconnected, re-rendered and then looked down at my timeline and realized that there were clips that hadn't connected.
Here's where it gets weird though. Everything looks connected in the Bins. I found all the files, connected everything. FCE has greyed out the reconnect media button. I can't connect anything else.
And yet as you can see below, despite the media being there, I am still getting the media offline message.
Does anyone have a solution to what's going on here. I'm completely baffled and I've never had anything like this occur before.
I'm running FCE version 4.0.1 on OS X 10.6.8
edit to add: The three other videos that I've been working on simultaneously did not have this problem. I still had to reconnect media but this is the only video that's doing this.
Thanks for all your help! If you need additional details just let me know.

Importing CS4 Project into CS5.5

Can't get playback to the monitor from the timeline is the main issue (using a BMD HD Extreme I/O card). I can double click the video files in the bin and get playback to the monitor, but not from the timeline. The CS4 project is a 4 x 3 SD project. So far, I've simply double clicked the CS4 project file to open the project in CS5.5. Nothing. And, I've opened a new project in CS5.5 with the settings exactly as they were in the CS4 project. Nothing. I've made certain all tracks are active, etc.
Anyone have advice on this?
Thanks,
Bill

I should add that after setting up the CS5.5 project with settings matching the CS4 project, I imported the CS4 project into it. Again, no playback to the monitor.

Media out or not loaded correctly when attempting to print since iOS 7 upgrade?

Since ios7 upgrade my mini gives me "media out or not loaded correctly" when attempting tp print to Epson r2400. Apple support directed me through a new setup. It worked for a few days and on it's own reverted back to the original problem.

Graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

Hmmm... I seem to have found the plist file that is doing it. I was looking at /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Remote\ Desktop/ before... looks like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist is the culprit.
This plist is a binary, so I had to use plutil to convert to xml in order to make it human readable. I wonder if I can just hack this file up a bit and re-deploy it to each machine. Or I wonder if it would re-build if I simply remove it from each client. I will need to test to find out, seeing as though the task servers are listed in it, probably not a good idea to remove it all the way.

1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

Lose model when importing a project

Hi
I tried for the first time to import a project and I noticed that ODI had lost all links with models for target datastores :
To be more specific, when I open an interface, its status is "in error" and the target datastore appears with a red cross. When I click on the "properties" icon, I can see that my datastore is not linked to a model.
In addition, when I ask for usage of the datastore in the "model" tab, I can verify that it is not used.
NB : the project was first created in this repository (that I will call "repository A"), then exported to another (repository B). It was then deleted from repository A and imported from repository B.
The model was neither deleted nor imported.
Is there a way to save the links between project and model while importing ?

Cezar - I have the exact situation that this user describes. I checked the i_mod versus the version tab/internal id of the model and they are the same. Thoughts on the best next steps?
To recap:
1) I exported from my DEV environment both my model and project folder
2) imported into my TEST (different server, etc) first model, then project folder
3) no issues on import of model or project folder
4) when I open an interface, it's in 'error' status and I cannot view data with right click on data stores (within interface) (data stores have the little red X on the top left corner)
5) I CAN view data when I right click on the table in the MODEL tab.
When I try to view data for my data stores in the diagram of my interface, I receive this error: Cannot display data: Datastores are not on the same data server
or one of the tables is not accessible on the data server
Thoughts???
Many Thanks,
Dan

Importing CS4 Workspace into CS5?

In AE CS5, is there any way to use a workspace I created in CS4? In PPro, all I had to do was open a CS4 project in CS5 with the "Import Workspace from Projects" enabled and the old workspace is now available. Is there something similar in AE or do I have to recreate my workspaces from scratch?

I haven't tried this, but it should work.(I'm typing this on a computer that doesn't have both versions installed, but I'll test this soon.)
The workspaces are stored in a set of preferences files. You should be able to copy them from the CS4 (9.0) directory to the CS5 (10.0) directory.
As with all of the preferences, these files are here:
(Mac OS) <drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0
(Windows) <drive>\AppData\Roaming\<username>\Adobe\After Effects\10.0
If this doesn't work, there's little risk, because you can always just delete the files in the preferences folder and restart After Effects, and it will recreate the default preferences, including the workspaces.

Timeline thumbnails show media offline, but media is not offline.

Short version: I opened a project today that I had been working on for a long time. Some of the thumbnails in one of my timelines show up as the red "Media off-line" image. But the media is not off-line. I can play the clips just fine. Everything else seems (more or less -- see below) normal except for a handful of these off-line thumbnails. It's not a disaster, but it makes it hard to find my way around. And I'm worried that it's a sign of something more serious wrong under the surface.
Long version: I'm using an older Macbook Pro with an ESATA expresscard. My media is all on external ESATA drives. My project file is on the Macbook's internal hard drive.
I use my Macbook as a desktop machine. The computer sits on a dedicated shelf on my desk. My cat makes a habit of sleeping on top of the machine. (You can probably guess where this is going.) Most of the time this is not a problem, but about a week ago he decided to stretch in just the wrong way and pushed the expresscard out of its slot. After screaming and throwing the cat across the room, I saved the project file, remounted the disks, re-opened the project file, and breathed a big sigh of relief when everything seemed to be fine. I quit FCP again and put the project on hold for about a week.
Today I reopened the same project file and the trouble started. At first all the timeline thumbnails showed up as media-offline, even thought all indications were that it was on-line. In addition, all my audio and video renderings were gone. I re-did them, and after a while some of the thumbnails restored themselves as well. But not all of them.
All of which has me a little flustered.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Is there a way to force FCP to refresh the timeline thumbnails? It's hard to find my way around now that all the clips look the same.
Thanks.

i've experienced this before, but i can't really remember how i sorted it,
i may have deleted the thumbnails out of the scratch disc, or it may have been that i switched the timeline view to name only saved and closed down, then opened it up again and switched them back on to refresh
but i know on no refresh thumbnails button in fcp itself

FCE claims media offline, but it's not

I opened up my project today and noticed that two of the video clips on the Timeline have turned black with the red stripe across the middle that says "Media Offline." Both of these clips were derived from a single clip in the Browser, and that clip is still sitting right there in the Browser with all the rest of the clips, although it too has turned black with the red message stripe across it.
I looked on the hard drive and the original clip is still there in the folder I took it from when I dropped it into FCE's browser (It's in a Media folder inside of an iMovie project). And the clips play just fine in the timeline--the playhead moves right through them normally and the video plays smoothly. Nothing is amiss at all, except for the colors of the clips and the false claim that the media is offline.
What causes this? Although everything is still functioning just fine, I don't like the look of those clips sitting there with that big red warning on them, false though it is, and I worry that iDVD might not like them either when I go to burn this project to a DVD. Any way to fix this annoyance?

I had this problem a while ago, and the reason was that the clips went in fact offline for a short while and then back online (they were on an external drive), but the clip thumbnails were not updated.
I used the trick to force thunbnail updating by deleting the Thumbnail Cache (I guess this is the file name - cannot check now) in the FCE Documents folder. FCE will rebuild all thumbnails at next restart.
Probably there is a better way, but this worked.

Media file thumbnails in browser say "media offline", but files are online and available for viewing/editing. How do I get a thumbnail of the clip back?

I am moderately experienced with FCE, but cannot figure out this issue. The thumbnails in my browser say "media offline", and no longer show a thumbnail of my video clip. When I try to reconnect the media files, the reconnect dialog box only checks for "online" media. I am able to view and work with the media files in my project even though it says they are offline. This issue seems to occur after a power outage. Its more of an annoyance than anything else, but I would still like to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out.

A video clip that works fine in windows media player but not in Premiere

I have an AVI video clip file that I recorded from an old VHS tape many years back. The file plays just fine in Windows Media Player but when I import it into the latest version of Premiere Pro CS6 the video portion shows nothing but a green screen. The audio track plays fine. I've tried using Adobe Media Encoder to change it into a variety of different formats. Some don't even produce a file and some do but don't work any differently than the original within Premiere. Any suggestions?
thanx a bunch,
mike
