Audio: Mass-Linking Media

After recently updating to Premiere Pro CC (2014), I encountered that ALL of my audio - except for .wav or .mp3 files - are offline. Whenever I try to "Link Media", it says "File not found."
What am I potentially doing wrong? And is it possible to mass-link media, meaning link ALL of the audio at once, as opposed to linking individual clips one-by-one?

Yes. Most of the audio clips are (or should be) connected to corresponding video files; meaning they are production tracks.

Issues linking media in cs3 project opened in cs5.5

So trying to help out a co-worker with a project that was originally created in Premiere Pro 2. Taking that to CS 5.5 we are having issues linking AVI files. In Premiere Pro 2 and in CS3 premiere has no problem seeing the avi as an audio file or isn't bothering with what format they are in. But in CS5.5 we get the Cannot Link Media The selected file cannot be linked because its type(video) does not match the original file(audio).
When you look at the avi files through media info there is only audio information no video information. I am not sure how these audio avi files were created either in the first place.
But what would be the best way to get these files working in CS5.5? would it be best to just get all the audio avi files and convert them to an audio format(wav, mp3, wma) then replace them so we don't loose the edits? Or is there a way we can tell premiere to just use the file anyway?
The simple and/or quickest solution would be the best.

Thats what I figured should be done but I was hoping for a lazier solution. Thank you.

Dynamic Link Media Server error - lost video reference file and can't replace

I've had this problem twice in the last 4 days and both times it's coincided with an internet drop-out in the office. I've imported an uncompressed QT .mov into Audition CC, splitting the video and audio tracks, and added both to a multitrack session. I'm using the video reference track to sync SFX to an animation. The problem is that the video track stops playing in the video window, and Audition crashes. We've had problems with our internet connection and this problem occured when the internet dropped out. I wait for the internet to come back online and restart Audition, and get the following message:
"This file can only be imported using the Dynamic Link Media Server process, but it is still starting and cannot yet be used. Please wait while the process initializes and we import the selected files."
The app takes 30 seconds to load and my video reference track has disappeared and is labelled "Offline". I can't replace it in the multitrack timeline, even if I try to reimport the original .mov file into the project it only displays the file as audio with no video. I'm not using Premier and don't need to sync between apps, I just need Audition to recognise a video track on my local hard drive.
FYI: I'm running OS X 10.9.1 with Audition CC and have turned on "Enable DMLS Format support" in preferences.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm thinking of reverting to Ableton!

Is this DMLS update ok for CC apps? RE: 10.9.1, looks like that update is for Mac Pro late 2013 machines, I'm running off a Mac Pro from 2010. Sounds like it wont be compatible?
On the 'about' link it says at the top "The OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update is recommended for all OS X Mavericks users." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. You'd need absolute confirmation from Durin, but I can't on the face of it see why the latest version of DMLS wouldn't be compatible with the previous version - IOW, it should be fine. If either isn't, then they should refuse to install. But with the way that Apple has screwed up Mavericks, in all honesty, all bets are off about that, and I'm glad that I'm a W7 PC user.
I've wasted quite a lot of time lately fixing several ridiculous problems with Macs, including Mountain Lion's amazing ability to trash Wifi, etc, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed with them at all. So it's not blind prejudice, or even blatent bias this time either - FWIW I'm similarly underwhelmed with Windows 8.

Cannot Link Media

I apologize if there's already a topic about this. I browsed through and didn't see any.
I'm using CS5 Premiere Pro for the first time in my digital video class. We work on Macs in the classroom and I've downloaded a trial of the program for my laptop which runs Windows 7. However, when I try to open the file that I've worked on in class, I get an error that says "Cannot Link Media: The selected file cannot be linked because its type(audio) does not match the original file's type(audio and video)." What do I need to do to fix this? I need to be able to work on this project at home.

Cannot Link Media CS4 to CS5

Hi guys apologies if something similar has already been posted, I have spent a few hours searching & not found the info I need.
I just installed CS5 on a new machine & was trying to open a project that I have already started in CS4.
The project requests as normal to assign moved data files (AVIs in this case) however once selected I get the message:
Cannot Link Media The selected files cannot be link because it type (Audio) does not match the originals files type (Audio and video).
I have tried skipping that step and opening the project anyway then right clicking the off line media to replace footage.. this now only replaces my audio.. I really need both.
I shoot on HDSLRs & convert the files to CineForm AVI, I thought AVIs audio & video were linked?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Ok so I got it working for anyone else who may come across this problem.. What you have to do is install Neo CineForm. Simple I suppose as it needs the codec.

I am using ALSA and Icecat. When I play any html5 audio/video it works, but the next time i click on another audio/video link I lose sound.

I am using Parabola (a fork of archlinux), Icecat 31.4 and ALSA
Icecat and firefox seem to hold onto the soundcard when I click on a new html5 audio/video link in the same tab. The next video/audio element loses sound. If I wait 10 seconds and click back to the start of the audio/video, the audio returns. I often get cpu spikes for icecat when it happens.
I have tried this with both motherboard and usb sound and I get the same problem. I have disabled extensions (addons) in Icecat, deleted profiles, reinstalled the browser and even installed firefox from the AUR and it still occurs.
I have disable gstreamer in about:config and restarted and it still occurs.
My .asoundrc is this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
All my other audio applications work. I have noticed that if I use pulseaudio it fixes it, but it should work without anyway, like it used to. I think something happened after an update, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a big problem, but it's really frustrating and I've had it for ages. I even switched browsers to get away from it.

I am not an expert in this and if we get stuck I have found a mailing list for the alsa project that can be contacted: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists

Unable to link media to MTS files in Premiere CS6 after updating to 10.8.3

I am now unable to link media(MTS files) in Premiere pro CS6 after updating to 10.8.3. Instead of the folder where the MTS files where there is now "AVCHD" with the quicktime symbol. When I control click, it just offers me with the quick look option. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

RAID DRIVE WON'T WORK IN LINK MEDIA BROWSER

I have a RAID 5 drive connected to my MACPRO (MacPro5,1), OSX 10.9.2. Its working fine on OS. In Premiere Pro CC I can import files from it no problem, everything seems to be fine until I try to link media from it. The link media browser won't access it. I can see it, I can see the RAID drives icon, but it won't access the files.
In the link media browser it won't show on the Local Drives list on the left pane. When I double click on local drives, on the right pane I can see the RAID HD icon, but when I click on it it won't open it. It knows its there but can't access it. I don't get it. I can import files from it, etc, but not link files. I would have to redo the whole sequence with files from that RAID drive and its days of work.
I would appreciate enormously any help with this issue.

Adobe CC 2014 v8.1
iMac 27" 3.4GHz w/12GB Ram.
OS 10.9.5
OWC Mercutry ELite Pro Dual.
RAID 0
Thunderbolt.
No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
Partition2 is the brand new partition.
Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.

Record Audio from playing Media directly to Mac hard drive?

I have installed BBC i player on my Mac Book Pro (this is a media player)- works fine.
I can down load, watch and listen to programmes but I have been unable to save the Audio from the media that is playing.
Is there any way of recording the Audio directly from the Downloaded programme or film to be saved directly to my Mac hard drive whilst the media is playing on my Mac. I have Down loaded Audacity but, I am unsure on how to save the music directly to my Mac’s hard drive.
Thanks

there is a program called highjack or hijack that you can record any audio playing over the system

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Re linking Media

I have FCP 6.04 I am trying to relink media, I have a lot of media to relink and I can only relink one at a time. I have to highlight the clip and select relink to get it to work. How can I just select the entire timeline and select re link media? I have tried highlighting all the clips that need relinking and it still only lets me relink one at a time. anyone have this problem before?

thanks but I don't remember seeing that option RECONNECT ALL FILES IN RELATIVE PATH, where is that option located on the tool bar? or is it in settings?

Way to Not Import Linked Media?

Is there a way to import a fcp project file without importing the linked media?

I don`t know if this would help, but you can set each machine HD (were you have the capture scratch locally) as a device in FCSrv and let it scan. After that FCSrv will catalog, make proxies and if you upload any FCP file with linked media from that particular device, FCSrv will know that already has that media and will not re-import.
You just have to watch out for paths and names.
And of course you have to have all devices (paths to the each local hd) mounted on FCSrv machine.
This is not very good but I think it will work.
And remember... you can scan just one time or let it scan periodically. So you can scan scratch disk folder for new media and when FCP project with that media is uploaded to FCsrv those medias wouldn`t be copied/duplicated.
Good Luck
Lucas
