Any way to Find correct set of Media from Browser within project?

I've been working on a bunch of projects for a couple of years -yes- and periodically backed up various media elements to other hard disks.
Now I have a problem. Since FCP4.5 places media in the last project's selected folders and because of my backups, I no longer know which set of media some items in my browser are referring to. Duh.
By selecting items in the Browser or Timeline or annnnywhere, can FCP tell me where the media I am actually referencing is located. (Since I have multiple "backup" copies of media in multiple folders on multiple drives, this is a problem)
Thanks muchly to all.
Sincerely, duh

If you select the clip in the browser, and right
click or CNTRL-click on it, on the menu that pops up
there is REVEAL IN FINDER as an option.
Now you see the importance of being extremely well
organized. Simply choosing the media drive as your
capture scratch will create folders that separates
footage by project. If you try to make folders and
do all the naming yourself, then you'll have to be
diligent in changing the capture scratch when you
change projects. But really, just let FCP do it's
thing. It is very well thought out. AVID doesn't
separate media by project like this...it is a huge
plus.

The organization recommendations are great.
But, for finding the clip . . . Thanks. I tried that, but my options in FCP4.5 show only
Open in viewer
Open in new viewer
Open in editor
Batch capture
Reconnect Media
Media Manager
Make offline
Duplicate as new master clip
Merge clips
Export
Batch Export
Cut
Copy
Item properties
Label
If that's a new feature in FCP5, I might be stuck. Or did I do something wrong. I tried right-click and control-click and got the same options. Didn't see REVEAL IN FINDER.

  • Is there any Way to find Which case is Executing in LabVIEW VI programmat​ically and Display it..

    Is there any Way to find Which case is Executing in LabVIEW VI programmatically and Display it..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I wrote this a few years ago: http://lavag.org/files/file/199-state-machine-foll​ower/
    This JKI RCF Plugin sets the Visible Frame property of a Case Structure while the owning VI is running. Use it to follow the execution through the cases in your string-based State Machine/Sequencer when Execution Highlighting isn't fast enough (and, it's never fast enough).
    The use-case I wrote this to improve is setting a Breakpoint on the Error wire coming out of the main Case Structure and probing the Case Selector terminal so I can float-probe wires during execution. The problem with this is that I had to manually select the current frame every time. This is boring, so I developed this plugin to automatically set the Visible Frame to the case most recently executed.
    You might be able to adapt it to your needs.  The basic idea is that a custom probe on the wire to the Case structure's selection terminal sends a notification to a VI that displays the appropriate case.
    We might be able to help you develop something easier if you'll give us more information.  Is it OK if the code to display the case is in the same VI?

  • Is there any way to find out what brush is applied to a path?

    I'm trying to write a script: select some paths, run the script, then each path that has a brush applied to it is changed to use a random brush whose name is sufficiently similar to its current brush. The application is pretty obvious - draw a bunch of lines in, say, 'ragged marker 1', then give it some extra liveliness by having five or six 'ragged marker' brushes that get randomly chosen.
    The problem I'm running against is that as far as I can tell, Illustrator only lets Javascript set what brush an object is using with brush.applyTo (artItem), but I can't seem to find any way to find out what path a brush is currently using via JS.
    Am I just not looking in the right place of the Javascript reference, or is this really a thing that only has a setter, with no corresponding getter?

    Just like you said earlier

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library

         Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library I can delete? I just cleaned off my HD onto a media drive as a back up so all my movies documents and photos are gone but my Library seems to be a huge space hog eating sixty gigs of space and I do have alot of apps but they don't take up a third of that space... Any ideas how I can figure out what is wasting all this space? I had Spring Cleaning once but found it to be rather confusing as to what was essential to the OS and what not...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Get free OmniDisk Sweeper. I can't imagine how you could have sixty GB in that folder. My entire ~Library isn't even 1GB. Are you sure you're not talking about your entire Home folder?
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of that folder.
    Check again. Are you sure you moved all the Movies etc. out? Could have left duplicates of everything behind when you did this.

  • Any way to find my lost iphone 5s ?

    I bought one iphone 5s months ago, and now it was stolen by someone. I could remember "find my iphone" is set up or not. All set up were done by the store saler, and I do remember my app id and password.
    I bought a new one days ago, and I used my old one's app id and password on this phone too. Finally I learnt there is this "find my iphone" item, but when I tried to used it to locate the old one, I only can see my new one on the map. Now I only keep the package and know serial number or IMEI, etc.
    My query is: why not set "find my iphone" by default? And can one app id used for both iphone ? Any way to find my lost iphone ?
    Disappointed..

    When find my iPhone is enabled then it is always on you can only
    turn off when you put in Apple ID/password if you cannot locate lost

    We have about 2 dozen or so devices out in the field but I just got notice that a new iCloud account was added to a device registered for my company. The name is unknown to any of us in IT and Find My iPhone reveals that it is at a strange location. Any way to find out WHICH device it is, besides "David's iPad"? And if you have an iPad2 would it say, "iPad 2?" or still iPad?

    No.
    And if you have an iPad2 would it say, "iPad 2?" or still iPad?
    It would say whatever the device has been named as by the person who set it up.

    It's not memory, it's disk space which is a different thing.
    you can figure out what's taking all the space using 3rd party tools like [Whatsize|http://whatsize.en.softonic.com/mac], [Omindisksweeper|http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper>, [Disk Inventory X|http://www.derlien.com> or [Grandperspective|http://sourceforge.net/projects/grandperspectiv>. there is also a terminal method described on [this page|http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/TigerMisc.html].

    I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?

    If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
    If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you.
