Color labels of clips lost??

I usually pick selects out of raw footage using labels. Red, orange, green,etc. I did a pass on my latest work project, doing these labels the other day, and now I return to the project today to find all the labels gone. ALL of the footage is now the default blue color.
I would think - oh maybe I forgot to save or something. Not the case. First off, these label issues also exist in the most recent auto-saves. But that's not the weird part. The weird part is that all of the actual CUTS I made to my raw footage - the in and out points for each select - are completely INTACT. It's just the label colors that are gone.
In fact one of the last changes I made to the project - adding a quick Curves adjustment to the final clip - is ALSO still intact. So its not that the work I did is lost - its that just the label information didn't make it somehow.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is this a glitch?
Latest Premiere CC 2014.2
Mac OS X 10.10.1

labels are synchronised to the server for imap mail accounts. Unfortunately older server software does not support the feature and the labels are removed instead of synchronised.
If you mail account is checked on say a 15 minute schedule then the labels will also disappear every 15 minutes if my assumption is correct.

Color labels: I never see 'em; not color blind too

I set color labels for clips, and there is no indication whatsoever on the clip thumbs or in the source panel or anywhere.
I see nothing you could call a label or color label. Presumable the labels are for easy locating?

Thanks you.
While we are at it, what is the philosophy here please?
I would put as much on "SCRATCH" as possible, but
never anything I would want later. "Captured video"
has me puzzled cuz the video is "captured" to a location
long before Premiere gets involved and I dont want to
change said location. "Previews" seems ok obvious.
I'll keep my auto saves where I can find them till it's
time to dump them.

Color labels label nothing

I set color labels on clips in the bin view, but there are no colors showing whatosever.
This is "carribean". So how do I mark something to know what I have marked?
Also, why is the audio link missing here? The audio is NOT missing. OK the link
reappears when I LEAVE the source box.
Thanks anyone !

Lightroom color labels lost on transition from one pc to another

I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
This is so annoying.
My main pc must have an allergy to my mac.
I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem.
Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
Anyone have suggestions?

The color labels are preserved between different programs (for instance between Bridge and Lightroom) and I imagine between different LRs on two different computers only when the texts entered as description for the color labels in >Metadata >Color Label Set >Edit is absolutely identical on both computers down to upper / lower case, spaces, numbers, hyphens, etc. If one dexcription for - lets say the red label - deviates from the other by only a semicolon the label will not display properly.

Lr5 lost/did not import my color labels

My Lr4 calalog has all my color labels but when upgrading that calalog to Lr5 - all color labels on images are stripped and I see the label default (Red - Delete, etc)
I went into the Roaming - Adobe - Lightroom folder and found "Label Sets" but I fear what is in there is the Lr5 stuff
Question: How can I get all my Lr5 catalog images to have the same color labels as my Lr4 catalog?
Thank-you

If your label sets were stored properly in Lightroom 4 they are still in the correct folder in Lightroom 5.
Go to Metadata>Color Label Set> and make certain the correct Label Set is ticked. If it isn't tick it. If it isn't there you will have to open your Lightroom 4 and find out where that Label Set is stored and move it to the proper place.
How Labels work:
Lightroom looks at the metadata of the Label field and matches the text against the five fields in the Color Label Set. If it matches one, it applies the color. If there is text and it doesn't match any, a White Label is applied. If it doesn't have text - no label is applied.
Give your problem description, you should be seeing a bunch of White labels instead of no label. Is that happening?

Setting for colored bar under clips used repetedly

Is there a setting that places a colored bar underneath clips that are used repetedly, but not in the same order? I know this setting exists in FCPro, but cannot seem to find it in FCE.

If you mean Labels then no, this is not an
FCE feature.

[LR3] Error opening a catalogon another computer: missed color labels

I'm having issues opening an existing catalog on another computer. I lost the color labels (but I keep the color filters, LOL)!
Version: LR3 final (trial).

Go to Metadata menu > Color Label Set > Edit and enter the names of the labels that you used on the previous computer. The colors are just shortcuts to proper label names.

Color label text

In preferences under labels it is possible to attach a string of text to each individual color.
I was going to say that I couldn't find a way to display the text but as i was typing this I checked the list view and the text does show up there.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have the text show up in anything other than the list view?
thanks

Thanks for the reply, great stuff as always. I wasn't aware of the label showing up in the Filter HUD on and Metadata pane on mouse over. That works for me.
My pleasure -- I'm always learning. Glad to help.
Not showing up in the Label field in the Metadata pane seems like a bad miss on the designers part, it would be a perfect place to display it right under the color dot itself.
Yes. I think Aperture really came of age w. 3.x -- but now there are ripples to smooth. Frictionless it's not.
No this time I'm not looking at this from a programming point-of-view. I'm actually looking at it for use in my workflow (starting to hate that phrase). I'm gradually shifting from Aperture as a great piece of software to poke around and see what it can do to actually trying to setup my digital darkroom.
I'm looking at labels to keep track of my prints as they go through the process. You know grey is test print, purple is first work print, blue is second, etc. Trying to see how much of what I remember from my darkroom days carries over. I'm trying to slow myself down. It's so easy , for me at least, to just go in and start whacking around sliders to see what happens, the thought process and stepwise refinement you need when dealing with the physical gets lost.
Labels, of course, are just another metadata field. I think of them as privileged -- in addition to all that one can do with metadata, Labels are given a special treatment and showing in several (all?) views of one's images. As such, they can serve a privileged role in one's workflow (a meaningful word, if a bit like used bubblegum). I, too, use them to mark stages of image development. The +really nice thing+ is that this shows at a glance in the browser. Whatever you decide, I strongly advise that you use the color labels to show something you want to know instantly about an image (contrasted to keywords). Here's one of the schemes I use, to give you some ideas on how to -- or how not to -- set up yours:
. (blank) -- not yet ranked at all
. red -- marked for development
. orange -- development started, not finished (sometimes the phone rings, etc.)
. yellow -- part of bracketed set (for HDR or panorama -- note that the returned image will join the Stack as the pick and be developed and labeled)
. green -- developed, ready to be published
. blue -- a Version of a (green) developed shot, to be re- or differently developed for a specific need
. purple -- a developed blue Version, ready to be used
. gray -- abandon but keep (fatal flaw somewhere -- this is for those "I liked that ... O! Now I remember ... " shots)
Which brings me to another question, notes. Back in the day I'd always be making notes as I went through the printing process. Most times I would just use the back of the test print. I've been using the caption field but that seems like a less then optimal solution. So if you keep notes as you adjust and print where do you keep them? I've tried making a custom field which would be ideal but there doesn't seem to be a way to make it larger than a single line and reading it back then is a pain.
I use a custom metadata field I named "Comment" (very important, imho, to not use Caption, as that field is often published and shows up in many places). Here's a screen shot with some important additional information:
Let us know what you come up with.

LR 1.2 Export Catalog does not export Color Labels

I've used the export catalog several times to update Meta Data on a 2nd PC while traveling, etc. then move it back to the original catalog. I thought before that my color labels were lost, but this last go-round I had a lot of pictures tagged with specific color labels - none of which made it to the exported catalog. Bug? Or did a miss a setting some place?

Okay, here's the deal.
Colors are just convenient ways to change the "Label" metadata field, and the color label filters are just convenient ways to search on that field *using the current color label set*.
Lots of things regarding colors make more sense once you realize this.

Close all folders in Mail? Color Label folders? Find folder? And More!

Hi all.
I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
However...
It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
Is this possible?
It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
You see the problems?
Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

Can not color label more than one file at a time

Hi,
I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
Thanks,
Jay

Aaaaanyone ?

How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge? I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge. I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

JohnM.
I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4? I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck. It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files. thanks gain.

How can I change the background color of black clips?

"iMovie Help" says to double click (or "apple i" or file ⇒show info), then "Click the color box and choose a color for the clip". I get a "Clip Info" window, with "Name", "Media File", "Size", "Capture date", and "Duration", but it does not have a "Color box". I know this should be a simple task. Thanks to any for their time and expertise.

Hi dosrio - what was the origin of the black clip? If it was a title 'over black' you are best to re-do it, with 'over black' unchecked.
If it was really just an 'empty space' formed by dragging the existing clips to the right, then it must be first converted into a black clip (Control-Click it, and select 'convert empty space to clip'). Then double click it, and the resulting info box will include a colour selector. Note that this is a simple way of creating any colour clip you want. You must be in Timeline mode to create it, after which it will show up in both Timeline and Clips View.

Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?

Hi
I'd like to see the flag-status, rating and color label assigned to an image as cell icons. But if I show them as Cell Icons, I am also able to change them, which happens to me quite often accidentally when I click into the frame of a image to change selections.
Is it possible to show these markers for each image without being able to change them in the frame? I would be quite happy being able to change them from the tool bar, but still being able to see them on the single image.
Related to this:
Is it somehow possible to mark images as read only, so that further changes (development, metadata etc.) can be made impossible? This would be nice for older images, which have been processed completely and should stay that way, inhibiting accidental changes to images. Sometimes it is difficult to even notice when one accidentally changes metadata on an image.
Thanks for your thoughts

Yes it's a bug. I see it on Mac platform.
