Clip in sequence linking to wrong media?

Hi,
Some very odd behavior in my sequence. I replaced a clip in the sequence with a different clip, and although the timeline now shows the new clip, when it plays I get audio from the old clip and video from another clip altogether. Or rather, it played fine a few times, and exported fine to a qucktime, but when I re-exported it at a different frame rate then not only was the file wrong but the sequence had changed and was wrong as well. Because this happened at the last minute I didn't see it until it was projected in front of a thousand people. Humiliating, to say the least! After the fact I corrected it by cutting in the new clip again but I'd like to understand how, technically, it was even posible and if there's any way to prevent it happening again.
I'm not sure what information is needed to help me solve the mystery, but for starters it was edited in FInal Cut 7 on a Mac Pro (circa 2007). The original clip is an APple ProRes file and the new one is H.264, but I don't see how that would create the problem. The original clip was ripped from a DVD using MPEG Streamclip, the replacement clip was provided for downloading by ABC Studios.
Could be this was just a random, fluke thing but I'd appreaciate any thoughts on it.
Thanks,
Jennifer

That is exactly the problem. FCP-7 does not work correctly with H.264 media. Convert the H.264 source file to ProRes, then use that converted file in your sequence.

Sequences is displaying wrong media when CS6 project opened with CC

I recently upgraded from CS6 to CC. I have many old projects that I have made in CS6. A few of my clients have requested changes recently and when I opened the project it opened in CC instead of CS6. This did not seem a big deal to me as I have done this with older versions of Premiere and never had an issue unless for some reason i went back versions. However this time is different. I have noticed on more than one project that when I export a sequence something goes wrong.
Lets say I am working with a wedding reception
-In preimere it plays fine the first time i open it.
-then i export it
-when i watch my exported clip it is messed up
-when i reopen the project it plays messed up
now what i mean by messed up is the clip will start lets say instead of at the entrence of the bridal party but durning the toasts, with the wrong audio to go with it. that will play through then the dances start. when it switches to a different clip i will now again be watching footage of the toasts.
the sequence within the project looks fine. each cut clip in the timeline has the right file name, and is trimed how I had it and as for the overall look like i said it looks fine, however upon playback it will play the worng clips just like in the exported file.
I have no idea why it is doing this of how to fix it quickly.
anyone have any tips of thoughts.....

Hi diabetic23,
Can we get more info, please? What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Thanks,

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Why does Premiere Pro CS 6 hang when option opening bins, clip to sequence, etc?

Hello,
I am having an issue with Premiere Pro CS6 performing a few commands:
-     Option Clicking Bins to open them
-     Duplicating Sequences
-     Performing Clip to Sequence
-     Creating Sequence: File → New → Seq
I am not having these issues (the system does not hang) when loading shots, Match-framing, watching dailies, etc in my source monitor or watching the assembly. Everything works fine when actually cutting, trimming, inserting, etc. Cutting in the timeline is actually a pleasure – fast and very responsive.
The problem only happens when I’m in bins.
My project is rather large – about 49.9MB, with over 100 folders and bins (it is a feature).
I have tested these commands with smaller projects – importing a sequence from the current "hanging" project into a new project - and everything is working fine with the small project of that one sequence and consolidated clips from the sequence.
I originally thought it as a RAW issue (I had 8GB). When I installed another 8GB of RAM for a total of 16GB the issue stopped and I have been editing fine for the last few days.
However yesterday the issue started again – it hangs on the commands listed above (Mac’s spinning wheel).   The operation is usually completed successfully however it can take up anywhere from five to ten minutes before the sequence is duplicated or the bin opens (option clicking), etc.
Again, from what I’ve gathered it does not happen with smaller projects – with less bins, footage, clips, etc. but only with this rather large project – with many daily bins, sequence bins, etc.
My system spec. are:
MacPro 1,1 - OS X 10.6.8
2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
16GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
The media that I’m cutting is ProRes (transcoded from Epic RED footage).
I'm wondering if this issue is hardware-related or Premiere Pro CS6-related.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Matteo

My Compound Clips won't link to the event files

Hi all,
In desperate need of assistance. FCPX has given me nothing but trouble since day 1. Recently i've had alot of trouble with my compund clips unlinking themselves from the sorce material in the same events folder. i have exhusted every avenue of trying to fix it but nothing seems to work. i've tryed re-linking and nothing seems to happen. my entire timeline is made up of compound clips so all of my project media is offline because the event compound clips are missing.
i dont understand why this is happening when the source material i made the compound clips from are sitting right there in the same event keyword collection.
i tried updateing the software to the latest FCPX but this made things worse, all the compound clips i had made in the previous version of final cut were gone. which is a bad thing becasue my entire project is made up of compound clips. so i went back to the older version and they were there luckally.
please someone give me a hand this is a very important project and i'm at the end of my teather.
the picture below is my folder stucture along with the event media withing them. as you can see the source material is there but the compund clips cannot detect they're there.

LOL! The K in my name stands for compounds are evil
and sorry, james, we're joking while you're desperate..!
Just some 'insider' joke, 'cause I'm noticing, being a beginner myself, that compounds are mostly abused as 'track replacements'.
So, from a more serious point of view: Why compounds/what are the compounds are made of? What happens when you double-click it?

FCP X not linking to optimized media

For some reason, FCP is not linking to optimized media- none of it, ever. My footage was transcoded on import and an optimized media folder created. I have everything in the Library bundle- both orignal media and optimized media folders are inside. I know FCP is playing the original media because 'reveal to finder' points to original clips. In addition, inspector shows H264 codec. What's the point of optimizing media if FCP doesn't point to it? How can I get FCP to utilize the transcoded clips in the optimized media folder?
FCP 10.1

AVCHD is basically H.264
This is an extract from the AVCHD article in Wikipedia . . . .
For video compression, AVCHD uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 standard, supporting a variety of standard, high definition, and stereoscopic (3D) video resolutions. For audio compression, it supports both Dolby AC-3 (Dolby Digital) and uncompressed linear PCMaudio. Stereo and multichannel surround (5.1) are both supported.

Corrupted clips? Can't re-connect media.

Hi,
I hope this all makes sense - I find it hard to explain...
I have been importing old VHS tapes for a friend. Last night, I finished capturing a tape, checked the clips and they were all fine. Got up this morning and this happened.
I opened FCP and some clips were missing. I tried to reconnect media. The clips are still there in the Capture Scratch folder. However, when I select the correct clip to re-connect, I get the message File "Clip Name" does not have proper content to reconnect to clip in sequence "Clip Name". This seems to have happened to the last 4 clips I have captured. When I try to open them with Quicktime, I get the message "File could not be opened. This is not a movie file."
The clips I'm having the trouble with, say 'Last Modified Today 9am' - this is weird as I captured them last night and haven't touched them since.
Also, don't know if this is of any relevance, but in Finder these clips are displayed as the Quicktime logo, whereas all the clips that are still working, are displayed with a little icon of the actual footage.
Each clip was almost an hours worth of footage so I REALLY don't want to have to capture them all again.
Any help would be much appreciated.

So you need to establish whether your clips are corrupted?
I suggest doing a GET INFO on each one and then changing the default application which opens it to QUICKTIME.
Then try double clicking the file and see if it opens in QT.
If you still get the "this is not a movie file" alert, you can be pretty sure that you have corrupted QT files.
I've just been through a major nightmare of this nature and tried every piece of software I could find to open my corrupted 75gig HD file. I asked questions on all the boards and failed to find anyone or any service that could help me ...
until ...
I found a guy in Balcelona in Spain who specializes in rescuing corrupt Quicktime files. He claims to be the only guy in the world doing this.
He rescued a 90 minute HD file for me and his initial charge is $149.
For this he sends you a piece of software which takes a sample of your corrupt file. Then you email him this tiny slice. He examines it and, if he can help you, he adapts his software to your own particular problem.
He then emails you an application to fix your problem. If he fixes your problem and you are happy, you pay him by credit card or whatnot and he then emails you a code which does the final fix.
It's almost unbelievable, I know. But it worked for me.
I had to have two passes done because of unforeseen difficulties, so it cost me $300. I was so grateful to him for fixing something which would have taken me days to replace and recut that I sent him an extra $100. So total $400.
I'm at home right now and not at my office. If you want his website and email and so on, reply to this email and I'll post the information in the morning.
Best
Harry.

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and download stalls at the end and message reads "The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll"

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and the download stops just before completion with the following message: "The procedure entry port kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailabileLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll" Also "error 127. Any suggestions?

Okay. Trouble at the "publishing production information" stage also suggests trouble with Apple Application Support.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Easy Way to Play Clips in Sequence?

Noob question:
Is there an easy way to play my clips in sequence without dragging each into the timeline?
When I log and capture, FCP7 creates a separate clip each time I restart recording. Can I look at each clip one after the other without double clicking on it and playing each in the viewer? I've done a brief search of this forum and the manual without finding anything.

Sure...use another editing app. FCX allows for clip scrubbing. Prelude, part of Adobe CS6, does too.
But FCP, and most other editing apps, require that you load clips into the VIEWER to watch them. Or, you can grab them all, drag them into the sequence to make a quick "stringout" of all your clips for viewing.
This is basic editing...load the clips into the Viewer to watch them. But Apple has changed that by allowing clip scrubbing in FCX. So if you want that, you should take a look at that app.

Movie Clips in sequence

Hello everyone,
Question, If you want to play serval movie clips in a row how
do you set that up on the time line? Do you use one frame for each
movie clip or do you need the same number of frams in the main
timeline as there is in the movie clip.
What I am trying to accomplish is to play 4 or 5 movie clips
in sequence. want to build them individually for editing purposes
in the future
Thanks

you could have stop(); action in all these clips first frame.
Than in the last frame of each clip
_root.NextClipName.play();
So the stop(): prevent them from running and last frame
action
kicks in next one to play, once done, another one and so
on...

Files/clips import sequence not according to date/time

When I import files/clips the sequence of is all muddled-up it looks the last files/clips according to the date/time are positioned first and first files last - why would this be and how can I resolve the problem?

There may be another case, at administration level: if you have several SPO workprocesses, the sequence of printing may not be respected: SPO 1 processes DO while SPO 2 processes INV for example. A solution to this is to use "print sequentially" flag in output device definition (this may not work at exceptional moments, when SPO workprocess exceptions occur, this is detailed in SAP notes).
