Am I at a risk losing project/video files when uninstalling?

Just wondering if there's anything I should know about/worry about when uninstalling a version of Premiere Pro.

For Windows, program uninstalls do not go outside the program folder (and registry) to remove anything else

How do I relink my video files when the source files are located in an AVCHD folder structure?

I am using FCP X 10.1.1 and I was completely done with editing a simple multicam video for a choir track and when I was exporting it it failed. I re-opened FCPX and found that there are several missing files, when I had just been working with them just a second ago! I know about relinking video files, but when I try to locate the source files (knowing where they are), the browser will not let me select ACHD file contents to get at the video files. Also, I cannot open the Library file for my project either.
Here is a snap shot:

If it comes down to it, use clip wrap to carve your .mov files out of the SD. I am confused tho - if you were originally able to import all you needed and still have the original media ? Why can't you do it again to add other clips? To "get in" to your Library, control click on it>show paskage... but do NOT MOVE anything only copy.
Perhaps soeone else can shed light on this?

IPod Classic 160GB - Lost Of Music & Video Files When Connected To iTunes

I currently have the latest model of the Apple iPod Classic. It's been working great until I decided to connect it to my laptop, to use iTunes. I've done this so many times before without having any problems. Until recently that is.
My laptop and iTunes are able to read my iPod, but when it shows up on iTunes the music and video section disappears. Only 'Other' and 'Free' shows on the ipod's GB stats, with only 148 GB left to use. Before this happened, I had only 110 GB or so to use, maybe even less, since I had tons of music and video files stored. Also downloaded games, which also disappeared.
I thought iTunes was the problem, but when I disconnected my iPod, I searched through it manually, and found that all of music, videos, and games are gone, it's like I didn't put anything in it. The only thing that stayed, was the notes, other than that everything vanished. Is there a way to retrieve my old music, video, and game files back? I tried looking into the hidden files of the ipod itself, and went into 'ipod_control' then to music, but every single folder was empty, all 'F' folders.
I am deeply frustrated about this. I really hope there are solutions out there to help me, without having to re do everything.
Forgot to add, don't know if this will help but, when I connected the iPod to iTunes, there was a pop up message saying something like 'CheeziPuffs cannot be found or played on your iPod' I have never had this pop up message before when the ipod worked perfectly on iTunes.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes I get an error code and sometimes I don't. I tried to get apple to do something about it however mine is also out of warranty so no luck. I have read about a lot a people having syncing issues like this with their ipod classic and I am kind of amazed that apple is not willing to fix this issue. If I get it fixed or have any luck with apple I will post here. Good Luck.

Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
"Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
Thanks for the help.
Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

Final Cut 5 - Won't recognize video files when I try to reconnect media

Help! Somehow FCP5 no longer recognizes my clips as video files.
The problem started when I transferred some clips to another drive so I could reformat my primary external drive. (It's new, and had been formatted for PC, and I felt I needed to reformat it for Mac.) I moved the files off the drive using my PC, held them on another external PC-formatted drive, then used MacDrive 7 to put them back once the formatting was done.
When I plugged the newly formatted drive back in, my Mac no longer recognized the files as video files because the file extension had been removed... It thought they were "Unix executable files." I added ".mov" to the end of the file names and they then seemed to work fine in QuickTime.
But FCP will not recognize them now... At first, when I try to "reconnect media," they are grayed out; when I select "All files" in the Reconnect Media dialog and they appear to be available. But when I choose one nothing happens and it goes back to the Reconnect Media dialog.

Recovering Video File when Quicktime 7.6.6 relaunches

Hi
I was in the middle of a wonderful interview with a Human Rights Activist when Quicktime QUIT unexpectedly. I relaunched the program and continued the interview on another file. Only now I cannot find first file anywhere. Anyone know if it's possible to recover lost video files? Looked in trash, files are garbage, no movie exists. Help!
Lolo

Update: The problem only happens with MacOS 10.5.6. Running the pre-installed MacOS 10.5.5 the 9400M and 9600M displays movies smoothly using QuickTime 7.6. Disabling hardware-accelerated playback by deleting the "AppleVAH264HW.component" in "/System/Library/Quicktime" also "solves" the problem.

Iphoto does not recognize video files when the iphoto library is on an external drive

I have copied my iphoto library to an external hard drive. I pointed iPhoto to the new location. I can import photos with no problem, but when I try to import video files (from my iPhone or from another drive) I get a message that the file is not recognized. When I moved the iphoto library back to the MAC hard drive, the import works OK both for photos and videos.
I am using iphoto 11 and all the videos were taken with my iphone.
Any ideas?

Video could be imported from an iPhone before the library was copied to an external drive.
The video that was imported before the library was moved could be read before and after the library was moved to an external drive.
Video from the same iPhone cannot be imported into the library once the library had moved ton an external drive.
The problem is that video can no longer be imported into the library that was moved to an external drive. Photos from the same iPhone can be imported and read.

Firefox will not play .ogv video files when loaded from a server. Does anyone have any answers that will fix this?

I've read the suggestions for fixing this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match MIME types for .ogv, I've uploaded the files as both Binary and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays fine when you load it from a local file, but it will not play when viewed from a remote server. I've confirmed with my hosting company that the .htaccess and all other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos just fine, but Firefox will not. Does anyone have any concrete answers as to what the problem is. I'm also serving up the video files as .webm and .mp4, but neither of these formats works in Firefox either.

That can happen if the server isn't configured properly to send the files with a by Firefox supported MIME type.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
Did you check via the Web Console which headers Firefox receives when requesting the .ogv file?
If that is OK then it is possible that the file is using an unsupported coding method.

IPod reloads entire video file when I make changes to video's info?

Just got the 80GB video for Xmas.
When I sync after making changes to the info data (name, category, year etc) in iTunes, the entire movie "reloads", as if I am syncing a movie to the iPod that I've never synced before.
It overwrites the older version (which is desired), but why does it reload the file itself after a simple tag change?
My older 20GB non-video never did this. If I changed "Police,The" to "Police", it would zip through the Police tracks and be done in under a minute. With this new iPod, it is completely re-syncing every song that was altered.
Is there a setting that will stop this?
J

Itunes maintains both its own tag database as well as
the native tags in the file. For instance if you
change the artist in an mp3 using itunes, then close
itunes and look at the actual mp3 file with another
tag reader you'll see your update is there too. Since
the file itself has been altered it gets resyned to
the ipod.
Thanks for your input. In theory, this makes sense. But my 20GB never did this. I am still perplexed as to why the 80GB Vid does it. Anyone else out there have an idea?

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Can't open video files when transferred to external hard drive, but can preview them?

I'm trying to clean up the disk space on my Mac because I have too many HD files. However, when I copied them onto my external hard drive, and tried to open them there, I can't. However, I can "preview" the files. Is it safe to erase my hard disk? Or has something gone wrong?
Thanks.

iMovie will only recognize drives that are formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled), not FAT32. This is because of an architectural limitation of FAT32 which does not allow files sizes of 4GB or larger. Video can quickly reach this size.
You can either get a new drive and format it, or you can reformat your current drive. If you reformat your current drive, it will erase all data that is currently on it. Shout out if you need detailed instructions for the reformatting.

Re: No sound in video files when audio is an mp3 stream

There are others jmf player projects in internet.
Take a look at them and test they can play your problematic files.
But i think its a jmf bug.

As a rule, one program uses only one audio-interface. If that program has no option for setting the interface, it'll use the interface as set up in the Sound prefpanel.
If a program can assign its' own in- and output interface (such as Logic, or Skype), it can only use +one at a time.+ The only way to let any program use more than one interface, is to set up an *Aggregate Device* in *Audio MIDI Setup*. An Aggregate device is one 'virtual' interface that combines inputs and outputs of two or more actual interfaces.
To set it up, open *Audio MIDI Setup* in Applications/Utilities, and hit shift-cmd-A to create such a device. Use its' help menu to, well, help you.
regards, Erik.

My iPad doesn't recognise video files when I connect my sd card with the camera connection kit. It only recognises photos from the same card

My iPad will only recognise photos when I connect an Sd card with the camera connection kit. It doesn't recognise video clips from the same card?!

Most probably because your camera records videos into MTS files, which aren't cmpatible with iOS. Read http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/playing-back-1080p60i60p-non-mov-videos-right- your-camera for more info and the alternatives (preprocessing ("remuxing") on a desktop etc); don't forget to follow the iVI review link at the bottom if you have a Mac.

Concerned about losing 7 Express files when installing Logic 8

Will my Logic Express 7 files be deleted or corrupted when I install Logic 8?
From, "Before You Install Logic Studio":
WARNING: If you have installed Logic Express or Logic Pro 7 on your computer, the Logic Studio installer will delete some of the files in the Logic 7 factory content folder: Files with names identical to the default Logic 7 factory content files are deleted. Files with different names are moved to a new folder, called Previous Logic Settings. Logic Studio uses a new location for impulse response settings; Logic Pro 7 impulse response files remain unaffected. An existing installation of the Logic Express or Logic Pro 7 application will not be deleted by Logic Pro 8, allowing you to continue working with it.

Corrupted? I don't see why it would corrupt files per se. But if you want to be totally safe about things, make a backup first. Don't just install the new software and "hope for the best", cuz Murphy's Law is guaranteed to take effect. Back up first, install new software, play around with it. If something ends up sounding funky or whatever you can always access your original files from the backup.

I was hand painting frames in a video file, when I saved the video in photoshop format and attempted to open the file again later, it said the video file was no longer available, what do I do?

The file won't play at all.

If you just have a few frames to mask then start your mask in a safe spot just start your mask where you need it to work, animate the mask for the few frames you need, then, when the mask is no longer needed move forward one frame and move the mask clear off the shot. Copy the mask keyframe, move to the first keyframe for that mask and then back one more frame and paste. Your mask will now be off the shot completely, jump into position when needed, then jump back off the shot. Problem solved without splitting layers or doing anything else funky with the shot.
In many cases, if you need a lot of masking to fix a key you can solve the problem with another instance of your keyed (Keylight) on a duplicate layer and then use that copy as a track matte for the first. I do this all the time. Sometimes I'll have as many as 4 or 5 copies of the footage, all keyed differently removing different parts of the background, each with a different garbage matte, and then combining them all using track matte to produce the final plate for compositing.

Am I at a risk losing project/video files when uninstalling?
