Clips replace by thumbnails.

For some reason, when I brought up FCP, several clips in the timeline were replaced with their thumbnails. I have no idea why this was done since the original clips haven't been modified or moved. I can replace the thumbnails with the original content one-by-one, but there are a lot of clips involved. Is there some automated way to do this? Any idea how this could have happened?

well if you do a reconnect and the file names are correct, once you point to the correct folder and you have "matched name and reel only" and "reconnect all files in relative path" checked, everything in that folder should reconnect.

Help! Images replaced by thumbnails?

I recently exported my aperture library into iphoto and for some odd reason many, but not all, of the images now in iPhoto are thumbnails around 400kb - they should be 2MB + files! Seems somehow the originals were replaced by thumbnails. I exported back from iPhoto to Aperture again - same problem in my Aperture library. I do have an old vault file I created before the original move from Aperture to iPhoto. Suggestions? I'm considering restoring the vaulted library in Aperture and then exporting from iphoto any files taken after the vault was created and staying away from iPhoto for good. Any advice before I try this????
Also, why would my Aperture library be 20GB and the iPhoto 15GB - both have the same content.

Is that file there?

Premiere reporting a generic error at AE clip replace

Hi guys
I am currently work a project with a lot of greenscreen work.
I do all my keying in AE with keylight and mattes.
The editing is done in premiere with my "raw" footage from Sony NEX VG20 cameras as a kind of proxy footage (MTS files).
When the edit and keying is done, I right click the footage in the project field, and select replace footage. I now select the AE file containing the keying settings.
This is where the problem occurs. normally a get a dialogue box asking what comp i want to use, but now I just get the "The importer reported a generic error" error message.
What can I do, it was working before, and now suddenly it won’t work at all, not even in a new Premiere file importing a AE with just a comp.
Any ideas?

Hi Jim
Thanks for the answer.
If I replace the clips in the sequence/timeline with "Replace clip with..." it starts from frame 0 in every clip, and ignores my editing.
Can I replace a clip in the bin with another "clip/comp" from the same project/bin.?
The "Replace clip with..." is grayed out, and if I select "replace clip" I need to select a file?

Multi-Track Clip replace

Hello all,
Is there a way to replace clips in the multi-track and keep all automation? I have some mixes that are using watermarked mp3 files for music and once the client has given the green light I purchase the full quality WAV files. I have not found a simple way to do this unless I am missing something obvious.
Can anyone describe their workflow to acomplish this in a simple manner?
Thanks
Ray T

Ryclark is correct you can do lots of things (that you probably shouldn't) by editing an sesx file BUT like drugs and alcohol just because you can doesn't mean you should!
Having said that editing an sesx file can be like doing brain surgery and should be approached with caution unless you either know what you are doing or are prepared for the consequences.
Either way you should always work on a backup (or a backup of a backup) and under no circumstances bother the Adobe devs if you go messing with your sesx files as they have much better things to do than be wasting time on such things.
I'm not going to go into too much detail but in the OP's situation here is what you want to do.....
Using a text editor find the "<files>" section (down near the bottom of the file)
<files>
<file absolutePath="H:\Suite Spot Studios\Dennis\All Shook Up\All Shook Up_Recorded\Kick Trig_003.mp3" id="0" mediaHandler="AmioWav" relativePath="All Shook Up_Recorded/Kick Trig_003.wav"/>
<file absolutePath="H:\Suite Spot Studios\Dennis\All Shook Up\All Shook Up_Recorded\Snare Top_002.wav" id="1" mediaHandler="AmioWav" relativePath="All Shook Up_Recorded/Snare Top_002.wav"/>
<file absolutePath="H:\Suite Spot Studios\Dennis\All Shook Up\All Shook Up_Recorded\Snare Bum_002.wav" id="2" mediaHandler="AmioWav" relativePath="All Shook Up_Recorded/Snare Bum_002.wav"/>
<file absolutePath="H:\Suite Spot Studios\Dennis\All Shook Up\All Shook Up_Recorded\Hats_002.wav" id="3" mediaHandler="AmioWav" relativePath="All Shook Up_Recorded/Hats_002.wav"/>
</files>
If you replace "Kick Trig_003.mp3" with say "Kick Drum.wav" then save the file then Audition will load the mp3 in its place next time you open the sesx file (assuming the new file is in the same location).
BUT you will get what you asked and not necessarily what you want - as Durin points out there may be differences in the 2 files etc.
I could probably write a utility to perform this function but I'm a little under the pump right now.
BTW An even easier way would be to remove the current media from its present location and replace with new media with the same name

Turquoise Clip Names and Thumbnails

A few of my clips are now showing turquoise names and thumbnails thus:
!http://www.mayer.demon.co.uk/headspin/images/turquoiseclipnames.gif!
Everything about them seems to function normally, but I've obviously done something to them - any clues as to what? TIA!

I think in the browser you marked with a color.
Find the riginal clip in your browser.
Is it also Turquoise?
Select the clip. Right click (Control click). Goto Label > None.
Done.
Rienk
Oh, and this IS a feature. It can help you to find clips in your sequence.
e.g. I always use it for DV clips in an uncompressed sequence for instance. The color helps me find them easily, to check all the DV material has the shift field filter applied...

Raw video clips flash and thumbnails never load in the Ingest window when I try to transcode.

I am having a recurring issue of not being able to ingest video clips from an external hard drive in order to transcode them in Prelude. When I access the files in the ingest browser window, they all flicker continuously and the thumbnails never load. It is preventing me from being able to check any individual boxes to transcode. Help?!

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.

Play video clip button on thumbnail...

Hello!
Is there a way to customize that button yet? In the beginning stages of FCServer, I remember it only allowed you to play the clip proxy. I'd REALLY like to have the ability to click the button there for original media and maybe another button for clip proxy. Have they done this yet? I figured I'd ask here before calling someone at Apple.
Thanks!
Ryan

Hey!
I do know about the right click/control click and selecting view. It's just that it seems to involve so many steps. Would be nice while searching lots of media to have the ability to play either the clip proxy or original media with 1 click.

Create previews of video clips with multiple thumbnail and export in html?

Hi all!
I am trying to make a list of the videos that i have shot with my digital camera....my 1Tb is almost full, so you can understand that is not that easy as looking into a folder with the big thumbnails
this is the expectation: to find an app that can
-create a preview of each video (qt, mov, m4v, wmv, avi, rm, etc)
-create few frames that shows the content of the video
-export the list of movies as web page, with the title of the video and the snapshot for each of them
Do you know if there is any way to achieve this result, without making manually everything?
I've found a software on pc, that i can use with parallels, but it takes just 1 shot of the video, and not multiple, with the result that is hard to get what is in the video, especially when the video is 10-15 min long, and the name doesn't help to recall what was happening in that video
Is there a way to achieve these results with just the apps available on the OS or is there an external sofware to do that?
thanks!

This is how i resolved:
I use a software called screen grabber, that reads video files and makes a sheet with previews
then i use thumbsplus on parallels to load these sheets and create an html page with the sheets and thumbnails.
Takes some time, is kinda cumbersome, but this gives me nice html pages with previews taht ar clickable (so you can see the full size sheet with the video preview).
Maybe someone else will stumble on the same problem that i had and find something better than my solution

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.
Francisco

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

Can I import audio into a clip, replacing existing audio?

I want to import audio from footage I've shot and use it to replace existing audio in a movie. Can that be done?

According to HT4622 you can copy audio into GarageBand from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. Once in GarageBand it would possible to make edits such as trimming or removing/repeating segments. You could then "share" the resulting song via email.
What kind of recording are we talking about? GarageBand has a maximum song length of 32 minutes (320 bars at 40bpm) which may affect its suitability for your project.

Movie Clip Thumbnail Gallery

I'm using Flash 8 Professional
Here's the swf:
http://208.131.133.122/flash/
And my fla:
http://208.131.133.122/flash/scene.fla
(8MB sorry!)
Right now, when the mouse is in the same _x position as the
last thumbnail, the thumbnails slide gently to the left to reveal
more thumbnails then slide back to the right when the mouse moves
to the left again.
The problem is that they start sliding to the left whether or
not the mouse is over the thumbnail gallery. If the mouse is at the
bottom of the screen or the top of the screen and in the same _x
position as the last thumbnail, they will begin sliding.
I would like the thumbnails to begin sliding only when the
mouse hovers over the row of thumbnails and not when it is outside
that thumbnail area.
I added some actionscript to stop the movement of the
movieclip when the mouse is above the max or below the min _y
position of the clip; but, it does not work.
I don't really know what I'm doing. Can someone.... anyone...
tell me if this is something that can be done? And if yes, how?
Much thanks in advance.

I see that your first wooden button is a 'scroll down' button
which plays through
the length of the thumbnails. Do you mean you want to
replicate and reverse this on the third wooden button 'scroll up' ?
I'm just guessing here but I'd say you accually have your
thumbnail gallery scrolling down as a motion tween and your scroll
up button just has a 'goto previous frame' type function on it?
If the previous statement is true then I would suggest two
options for you.
1.) You take the scrolling functionality out of a timeline
and do it all with action script. This would be the most effective
way of doing it.
2.) Since you probably don't want to make serious edits to
that .fla. Here's another way. You have a boolean called 'is_rev'
and a function called 'play_backwards'. These are contained within
the same movie clip as your thumbnail gallery.

Your third wooden button has these actions on it.
on(release)
this.is_rev = true;
this.prevFrame(); // This is to start the reverse loop;
Your first wooden button would have this on it.
on(release)
this.is_rev = false;
this.play();
Your second wooden button would have this on it.
on(release)
this.is_rev = false;
The function would be:
function play_backwards()
if(this.is_rev)
this.preFrame();
Now on every single frame of your scrolling gallery you need
to call this.play_backwards();
Please note the way I structured the coding assumes every
object is on the same timeline. If your buttons are in a
different/parent movie clip relative to your gallery movie clip,
your going to need to make sure 'this' is set relative to the two
objects. (i.e. on your button -> this.prevFrame(); would
probably be this.gallery.prevFrame(); )
A quick design note. If your buttons symbolize scrolling not
movement they should be reversed since as the thumbnail gallery is
moving upwards the user is scrolling downwards.

Thumbnails in one project "Media Offline" but Canvass OK

One of my projects now has replaced the thumbnails in some of the clips in the timeline with red and "Media Offline. However, the media is online in the browser, and viewing the clips in the Viewer and playing the Timeline in the canvas perform normally. Other projects are not affected. How can I correct that please?

Probably those cplis were offline for a while (external disk temporarily not connected ?), and when they were reconnected again their thumbnails were not updated.
When it happened to me I just deleted the thumbnail cache and FCE automatically rebuilt them.

APE 10: How to select a frame be the thumbnail for the exported video file?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and using Windows 7. I create a title and place it as the first clip in the Sceneline. When I export the video and look at the file using Windows Explorer folder view, the thumbnail shown is a frame from another clip and not the clip containing the title. How can I get the title to be used as the thumbnail for exported video files?

Hi Bill, thanks for your thoughts on this.
The file created is indeed the one intended and in the correct folder. When I double-click on the file the video is played and the first thing I see is the title. So the video created has what I expect. Go figure.
I'm starting to think that there might be a Windows setting that determines how Windows Explorer picks the frame to be used as the thumbnail for video files. I have not found any reference to it so far.
Here is some new info...
If I replace the first clip that has the title with another clip, then the thumbnail is created from that first clip. As soon as I add the title as the first clip, then the thumbnail is created from the second clip.
OK ---- I just found information that states that the thumbnails are created by Windows and placed in a file that act as a cache for the thumbnails. This prevents Windows Explorer from generating the thumbnails each time the folder is viewed. In my computer (64-bit Win 7), the thumnail cache files are stored in folder "C:\Users\Ramon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". They have an extension of ".db". I found the information at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache

How do I find and replace recurring images?

I was wondering if I could find and replace recurring thumbnails in a document. I actually want to delete the specific thumbnail in mass.

Then Paste and Match Style option shift command v to remove the graphics.
It is under the Edit menu of most OSX apps.
There are also utilities that remove all styles and other formatting automatically for you when you do a simple copy and replace.

Splitting an event with only only clip

Is it possible to split an event that contains only one clip into two events?
Documentation indicates that in an event with at least two clips it is possible, but with only one clip selecting a thumbnail where the split is desired leaves the 'split at clip' option under the file menu grayed out.

If you can find a single frame or group of frames that can be rejected (and are near the point where you want to split), reject them and move to trash. Now you will have two clips, and it can be split into two events.
If you don't want to lose any frames, best option is Quicktime Pro.

Clips replace by thumbnails.
