Batch unhide file extensions after Media Manage

Every time I media manage I get a nice media folder with every single file now has its extension hidden. I hate that, if I wanted to not see the extension I would have hidden it in the original. Anyway, this can often amount to hundreds of media files that I'd rather have with a readily visible extension.
Is there a batch way to get the extensions back?
I tried selecting a bunch of files and cmd+I but in the info window the Hide Extension check box is greyed out. I've poked around some figuring there must be a command line utility that can effect this as well but have yet to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
set extension hidden of every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) to false
end tell
Select the folder in the Finder, and press the Run button in the Script Editor.

Bridge removing file extension after batch rename

Hi All,
I've been having trouble with what appears to be a problem with Bridge in Photoshop CS2. I'm well aware this is an older version but, in this case, I don't think that should matter. Here is my situation:
After batch renaming jpeg files, I've had a problem with Bridge simply stripping off the file extension on all the newly renamed files. This never happens right away...always later. In other words, I'll batch rename a folder full of photos without issue, note that the rename was successful, and then return to that same folder a short time later to find white thumbnails and missing file extensions. This has happened exactly the same way on two different computers - and always with the delay.
This is getting to be very annoying. Has anyone had or heard of a similar issue? Thanks very much...

First use the menu tools / cache / purge cache for folder, if still in trouble restart Bridge holding down option key to refresh preferences

Reconnecting Audio Files after Media Manager

Please forgive me if this has been covered before, but I'm not seeing a specific answer to the issue I'm having. I recently decided to do some cleanup on my machine, and used Media Manager to backup a project. When I reopened that project a TON of the files were no longer connected, and I've had to dig through the computer and reconnect them one at a time. The issue I am having now is with the audio files that exist in FCP as STAP files. I can find the stap files, but they are no reconnecting properly. I've tried to just simply re-render the audio, but it just comes out blank. Here is a screen capture of what I'm seeing. http://www.moorecreativedesign.com/FCP_Capture.jpg - Also If I try to right-click and "open in editor" it gives me an Unknown File error.
Message was edited by: jesmo71

I think the problem is that the .STAP file are SoundTrackPro project files, which look for the original audio files.
But I guess you removed them or at least removed the disc they are on.
That's why they render empty.
Media Manager doens't work on SoundtrackPro files (or Motion files for that matter). The proper way to handle these situations is
either export selfcontained movies from Motion, or audiofiles from SoundtrackPro and edit those in your timeline and THEN do the Media Manager,
or backup your Motion Projects and SoundtrackPro projects with all their assets along with the Media Management from FCP.
A nice [feauture request|http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html] would be to have Media Managaer handle all assets from the Final Cut Studio Suite.

Clip weirdness after Media Manager backup

Several of my clips have freaked out after the media manager backup. I'll have to go back to an autosave and see what exactly was on them, but definitely there was a modifed speed property and I think, a keyframed brightness filter.
Also had an issue with the burn, but once I get it redone, I'll check to see if there;s any other MM weirdness.
I'll have to re-edit the portions. What can i do to avoid this issue when backing up in the future, for speed modified, layered clips?

I feel for ya...
Let's say I was doing the Smith Wedding...2 cameras, 2 tapes each camera. And since I've maybe done 3 previous weddings with a total of 10 tapes used, I'll keep a dedicated naming convention for wedding tapes, (since I may do other type event work)...such as WED001, WED002, WED003...etc.
So for this project my REEL names will be:
WED011C1T1_Smithmmddyy
WED012C1T2_Smithmmddyy
WED013C2T1_Smithmmddyy
WED014C2T2_Smithmmddyy
Then for tape 1 from cam 1 (which has pre-event Broll and Interviews), I'd set in/outs for each clip with names like:
WED011C1T1_SmithBarbIntv
WED011C1T1_SmithBarbHouseExtBR
WED011C1T1_SmithJoeIntv
WED011C1T1BarbJoeKissBR
WED011C1T1JoeDogBitesMomNLaw
ect...down the tape, hitting 'Log Clip' after each In/Out is set and making sure that Reel and Clip are properly named.
Then rewind tape, select all logged clips in browser except JoeDogBitesMomNLaw (since I really won't use it), select File/Batch Capture and away it goes, while I get coffee and check up on Barb's Mom.
Put in second Cam1 tape, lather, rinse, repeat.
This way,
1 - You can be totally selective about which shots you actually capture (saving disk space)
2 - You can always come back and 'batch capture' the JoeDogBitesMomNLaw clip, when you realize you actually might use it after all.
3 - Since you probably didn't man both cameras, you've now had a chance to familiarize yourself with the shots the 2nd camera had.
4 - You can now color code shots w/o having to break them up from master clips.

Audio out of sync after media managing?

Hey! I have an interesting blip in the software found after I media managed a project of mine. Here is how I media managed the program:
Copy media referenced by duplicated items
Include render files
Include master clips outide selectin
Delete unused media from duplicated items
Use handles of 1 sec.
Include afiliate clips outside selection
Base media file names on exisiting names
Duplicate selected items and place in a new project but not including nonactive multiclip angles.
and I ended up getting something really interesting.
On some of my media clips, the audio associated with it had small blue bars across the top of each of the two audio channels. When an audio clip had one of these bars more often than not it only started halfway down the clip. At that point, when playing the clip from the beginning the audio would restart from the beginning of the clip again. It looks scary at first, but all that I did was control click (right click) on the clip and "remove attributes." We don't have any affects associated with these clips so nothing under the Remove Attributes box was checked, but I just clicked "OK" which seemed to effectivly refresh the clip and the audio was perfect again.
So, I'm wondering why it did this, and what I can do to avoid it doing this in the future. I'm about ready to move on to a new job and would like to figure out how to avoid it or know if I need to write up a little something for the next person in this position to know how to deal with it and not to freak out!
Thanks!

Wrong File Extension after using "Save AS" in PS7 and PSCS

After using 'Save As' the file extension is incorrect (such as filename.psd.jpg) or on opening an image file saved with Save As Photoshop returns the message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop Document".
There's a setting in 'Tweak UI' under the heading 'Common Dialogs' that offers a choice of disabling 'Enable AutoComplete'.
If you disable 'Enable AutoComplete' then Photoshop 7 and 8 (CS) will no longer add the appropriate ending to a file when using 'save as'.
Unfortunately re-enabling this option does NOT appear to cure the problem, and a re-install of the O/S may be necessary.

How do I include Motion files in FCP "media manager" exports?

All files with a .mtn do not transfer correctly when I use media manager to duplicate a project: I get the red-dotted frame and even when I try to reconnect the frame, once rendered, remains black. I was wondering if there is a way to export Motion files there were created by exporting from FCP and "embedded" in Motion.
Thank you for the help!

Set content type based on file extension after uploading into document library

when there are multiple content types associated with a document library, say, report builder report, and excel documents, after you drag and drop a document into the document library, content type will not be detected based on the file extension. Suppose
your default content type is document, and you had added the report build report content type, and you uploaded a .RDL file, the content type for the file will be set to the default document content type.
I get a requirement to update the content type automatically based on the file extension, what follows is my code:
public class setCNTByFileExtItemAdded : SPItemEventReceiver
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
if (properties.Web.GetFile(properties.AfterUrl).Exists)
SPListItem CurrentListItem = properties.Web.GetFile(properties.AfterUrl).Item;
String FileName = CurrentListItem.Name;
if (FileName.EndsWith(".rdl",StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
CurrentListItem.Properties["ContentTypeId"] = "0x010100C3676CDFA2F24E1D949A8BF2B06F6B8B";
CurrentListItem.SystemUpdate(false);
base.ItemAdded(properties);

Batch replacing files in After Effects

I have a project that is a series of time lapse shots that was edited in Final Cut Pro. I used jpegs that I created from the original raw files (.cr2) to do the edit. I used Automatic Duck to send the edit to After Effects (CS5) to do some things I am unable to do in FCP and I want to replace the jpegs with the raw files for color correction. When I select multiple jpegs in my project window, I am unable to replace any of the clips. If I select a single jpeg, I can bring up the replace window and I'm left with 2 options. The first is creating an image sequence, which will work for some of my shots (although I still have put those back in the composition, essentially re-editing the piece), but for many of the others, I don't use all of the images in the time lapse or skip some here and there. I also mix frame lengths in several sequences, using varying lengths of 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s, etc so having AE create an image sequence from the raw files doesn't work. The other option is replaing each file one by one but with thousands of images, that is not really an option. I tried the Immigration script from aescripts.com but that doesn't do what I need it to do either. I'm sure the solution is right under my nose, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Again, thanks for your help but still nothing seems to work. I've emailed the people at aescripts.com to see if their scripts can help me.
Here is a more detailed description of my workflow just in case anyone that has any insight can help.
I have a bunch of time lapse shots and animations that were shot with a Canon 5D in RAW format to retain the best color space possible. Using Adobe Lightroom, I processed the RAW files into jpegs for editing but I only processed the ones I was going to use in the edit (this is important later). I used Final Cut Pro for my edit. I took these 5616x3744 jpegs and put them in 4k sequences. I adjusted the frame durations, some on 1s, 2s, 3,s etc, and nested those in a HD sequence for editing and animating. Once I had finished the edit, I used Automatic Duck to send the project to After Effects to apply some effects, some animation that can't be done in FCP and to do the final color grade. I need to replace all of those jpegs with the original RAW files. Using the replace/relink tools already in After Effects, I can either do it one file at a time, which will take forever and isn't something I have time to do or I can have AE create image sequences. The problem with the image sequence option is that it uses all of the RAW files when I only need some of them, I can't have varying frame durations and I have to essentially re-edit/animate the project since it just places the image sequence in the project window and not the timeline/comp. I've tried every variation of making AE think files are offline but I'm still only left with the one by one or image sequence options.

Media Manager - "batching" several projects possible??

Anyone have a solution to "batch" several FCP projects with Media Manager.. I have several editors who are in need to move many large projects off the Xsan on to external drives for archive.
Because it takes so long to Media Manage each project, I'm looking for a way to "batch" several projects over the weekend.. Hoping for a "set it and forget it" work flow!!

regardless of whether you figure out how to do the "batch," I hope you realize that you need to confirm the success of the media manage. A few things that can (but don't necessarily) cause problems, multiclips, nests, imported digital files (as opposed to files brought in using log and transfer and log and capture). Over the years, I've seen fewer and fewer problems, but forewarned is forearmed. Just did a media manage of a 4 minute sequence and there was a problem with one audio file from a collapsed multiclip.

Can't drag any files to blackberry from computer using media manager

Just got my Blackberry Curve out of the box today and got it all set up. I am now trying to drag some files over using Media Manager on the desktop manager. I have my blackberry connected to the computer. I open Media manager and see My computer options on the left and my blackberry connected on the right. I located my file in my computer side. Highlight it and try to drag it into the blackberry memory, but it won't let me. I also can't use the arrow buttons to transfer it. They don't "light up." They just stay gray. Did I miss something in installation? I have tried MP3's, word docs, excel docs, etc. It is not taking anything...
Message Edited by krisfisch06 on 10-23-2008 04:02 PM

I have found that installing the OS for your device alleviates this problem, but if you have a microSD card in your BlackBerry it is easier to just open up the My Computer icon and just drag and drop into the appropriate folders.

Is it possible to batch change multiple file extensions

Is there a way to batch change file extensions? I have more than 150 files on which I need to change the extension and it's a bit of a pain to do each one separately and then have to confirm it.
Thanks!

This is where the terminal can be your friend. Open up terminal and change to the folder in question
To do this, assuming the folder is called 'myfiles' and is on your desktop:
cd ~/Desktop/myfiles
(Or you could type cd then drag the folder to the terminal window to save typing)
Then the command below will rename *.txt to *.rtf (change the two occurrences of 'txt' and the one 'rtf' as appropriate:
for f in *.txt; do base=`basename $f .txt`; mv $f $base.rtf; done

No edit option in Media Manager for 8100??

I haven't really received any response from the Software thread so I thought I'd try my luck here to see if anybody else has had a similar problem after installing all the software for the 8100.
Ok, so a quick overview of what I have installed:
O/S: Windows Vista Ultimate
BB Desktop Manager v4.5
Be sure to keep in mind that I have tried the Desktop manager v4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 and have the same problem with all versions.
The Issue:
I can't edit any audio files in the Media Manager software. Everything appears to install properly with no issues, especially after I disabled, Windows Defender, and the Firewall. The media manager software is able to find all of my media files on my computer, and is able to play/view them all as well. However, when I try to edit an audio file that I want to make into a ringtone, the "Edit" option is greyed out and I am unable to select it. This is the case with the v4.5. In previous versions where the user is supposed to select "Edit with QuickSound Editor," that option does not even appear in any of the drop down menus.
I have completely uninstalled any previous versions and even selected the install to "Run as admin..." in Vista, but I am still not able to select the "Edit" option to create ringtones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been picking at my brain for the last few days.

Its just my opinion, but Roxio Media Manager blows chunks. I use Audacity instead, and it free.

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so. This started with the latest update. I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86. It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Solved!

Try setting the startup option to off and then to on again. It looks to be pointing to a wrong location.

VCast Media Manager - Upload Button

So I ordered VCast Media Manager so I don't need to bring a cable with me everywhere and so I can store files remotely and access them with my phone automatically when I need them...great and fun.
I ordered the server, configured the service, and ended up on the VCast Media Manager page. It's a simple page that has a simple set of instructions on the page. The instruction states to start uploading content by pressing the "Upload" button. So I look everywhere on the page for an "Upload" button. Can't find it. I do a browser find, still no go. Look at the source and do find/upload, no control with that name. Hmm...how do I upload files to VCast Media Manager without the Upload button that we are instructed to use?

I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.
