Broken dv links after changing imovie filename

I moved an imovie project file from my harddrive to external drive - now when I open the project it cannot find the dv clips for the project - the path for the dv links still points to the local harddrive vs. external - any way to automatically update the path?

Any additional ideas?
It's been my experience that iMovie is quite forgiving when I change the name of the project package. (Note, however, that the package suffix must be "iMovieProject", not "iMovie".)
I have no experience with Magic Movies, but I doubt they would be different.
When I change the name of the project package, iMovie does not necessarily change the name of everything inside. It does not change the name of the iMovie project file — or the tilde file — saved loose inside the package.
Because you are having problems with iMovie locating clips in the project, I suggest trying to solve this problem by restoring the project name to what it was. Then open the project normally. If it opens successfully, do a File > Save As command and save the project to new project with a new name (located on your external drive, if that's your preference.)
The Save As will force iMovie to update everything with the new name.
When the new project opens, do a Save to update the Timeline Movie.mov inside the new project.
If the project fails to open, try double-clicking on the tilde file that's inside the project. If you are lucky, it will open the project as it was saved BEFORE you last saved. For more about how to use the tilde file see this:

  • I keep getting a DF024 error even after changing the filename

    The suggested fix for the DF024 error doesn't work. Trying to install Photoshop from the Creative Cloud app into an iMac running Yosemite. Any suggestions?

    Hi Arun,
    In order to figure out the source of the problematic IP, we need to collect the following logs:
    Detail messages of the Error 1021 including the blocked IP address.
    Protocol log. We can search the specific IP address in the log to find more information about the sender. Here is the reference of
    Using the EAC to configure protocol logging.
    Besides, use the command below to verify if they are set as expected:
    Get-ReceiveConnector -Identity "this connector name" | select Message*,MaxInbound*

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

    When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
    For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
    If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
    All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
    Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

    Hi, I've been having this same issue.  Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
    Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
    Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
    The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr. 
    I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
    Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred.  Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
    Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
    PS Some additional things I will be testing:
    Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
    Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

  • Undo/redo generate 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    Running into issue with undo/redo(ctrl-z,ctrl-y) generating 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    Sounds like some strange shortcut key conflict.
    The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW.  Be sure hidden files & folders are enabled in Windows Explorer.

  • Broken Blog Link

    Hello! I have been reading quite a bit of discussions and they have sure helped me understand building my first web site. Now, as stated in the Subject line, I have a broken blog link in my finished site and I need some advice on how to fix it.
    You can test my site: seeyouatbonnaroo.com and see what I mean.
    Thanking all in advance for your time and help. Robert
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Robert, I can see that you have a problem with the RSVe-mail, Why and VIP pages. The Blog link works with the other pages of the site. Make a small change to those three pages and then Publish them again. The change can be something as simple as adding a space after a period.
    Also, make sure that in the inspector palette you have a check-mark placed beside the line that says Include page in navigation menu.
    Cheers!

  • FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

    Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

    Hi SGckc,
    This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
    Thank you for contacting us!

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • After installing  iMovie 4 my Bookmarks have disappeared!

    Actually, several things happened after installing iMovie. My ethernet adapter wouldn't work, but fixed that...kinda. It will now recognize my ethernet adapter if I plug it in after I boot. I also can no longer find my Download folder. There were three Download folders. One was the temporary one (I'm talking about that little Download window which pops up so you can see what you're downloading). Another one had all my downloads. Another, for some reason, had only 4 downloads from when I first began using the Powerbook 7 years ago. That one I can find. But the main one is gone. I just installed the update for iMovie (4.0.1) but that didn't do anything. Previous to installing iMovie I renamed my "Home" icon, but after the iMovie install it has reverted to the old name and when I try to change it back it says the name is already taken. I tried using Finder to retrieve the name I had changed the Home icon to, but it doesn't come up with anything. Is there a way to revert of they system settings before I installed iMovie 4?

    I doubt that anything related to iMovie will fix your problem. iMovie has nothing to do with your ethernet adapter or with Safari's downloads folder and bookmarks. You probably need to go to the OS X discussion area.

  • Changing the filename in Photoshop Action

    Hello,
    I couldn't find any tips with regards to how to use a "syntax" to rename the file just before "saving as" or "saving for web" options in PS.
    To understand what I'm trying to achieve, please let me describe the case on the example below:
    I have the file "picture.jpg" (1024x768)
    What I'm trying to do is:
    - Resize the image down to size 800x600
    - Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_large.jpg"
    - Resize the image again, this time down to size 600x480
    - Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_medium.jpg"
    So after the first step in my action I need to add the suffix "_large" and after the third step I need to add the suffix "_medium".
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    t0ny

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for your repllies, unfortunately I can't achieve the 100% result using your suggesitions (I learnet a bit anyway ).
    - When using slices, I'd have to rename slice everytime I resize the picture as I need diferent suffix for every image size.
    - Suggestion to use "Save as" instead "Save for web" doesn't resolve my problem either, as what I'm trying to achieve is to store one image with all the diferent image sizes in one folder.
    I guess perfect solution would be if I could change the filename using some syntax which could look like:
    change current file name from [name] to [name]+"_medium"
    But I believe this is not possible.
    Thanks very much anyway and of course if there are any other suggestions I'll be happy if someone could help.
