CS3 Relink Media problems

I have a project that I edited two years ago... it's a Matrox LE, HD project. 1920 x 1080. All of the clips are XD Cam HD. (I know 1440 x 1080, but at the time, Matrox didn't have a preset for this...) Upon completing the original project, I trimmed it down.
Now, I have all the files on an external drive. I've tried to open the project, but get the dreaded unlinked media red page with Japanese characters. The funny thing is: ALL OF THE MEDIA is there! I can actually go to the "drive level" and play back the media! When opening Premiere asks me to navigate to the media... I do, but when it opens, it still appears as though MOST of the clips aren't there... two or three come up, and play back just fine in the timeline, the rest do not.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to alleviate this problem?

Hunt,
I have tried relinking the media from the project window.... I have tried on single clips and several clips to RIGHT CLICK and then select "relink media".
I get the navigation prompts, it ALLOWS me to select a clip to relink, and then the nav box closes... the clip in the project window remains the same. What other ways to do this are there?
As for the project file... well, you've given me a good idea. I'll go see what I have in the "vault" of auto saves! I am indeed using the project file as I've "control S'd" like crazy!
I'm using a project file that was TRIMMED down from the original in Premiere itself, using their tool to do so! I've had GREAT luck with that in the past. I'm a type A guy, so now I'll scour my drives to find the original project, if it still exists!
I am indeed using the Matrox card still... I have no idea what could cause this!

Relinking Media Problem

I'm running FCP X 10.1.1 on a new 2013 Mac Pro. I've been trouble shooting and searching the internet since yesterday, but I decided to post here because I feel like I'm really starting to waste time.
What is the best way to re-link media? I have about 50 files that are missing. All of the original media is still on my drive and in the appropriate folders. I just need to link them back up inside FCP X.
Thank you,
Trey

How to relink media in CS6

When I first open a project in PrPro it asks a strange request to relink media. No files have been moved and all my media is on one hard drive. I understand how to relink media but this is strange. It asks "Where is the File "V1-etc, etc, etc? I've never labeled a clip V1.
Could this be pertaining to the V1 video track?
Could this have happened if I updated PrPro, not thinking, with a Premiere Pro CC update on my CS6 program and this is causing the problem?
I have a timeline in PrPro that was worked on in Resolve. In the timeline it shows all my clips offline. But, in my bins, the clip that is shown offline in the timeline is ONLine in my bin.
How can I relink the media to get it to show correctly in the timeline.
I have a suspension this is a result of updating something I should not have updated.
Dan you advise?
Mandla

It seems PrPro created a bin as well. There's no way I'm creating a bin labeled like this. The one clip that you see is relinked was from me highlighting all the off line clips, choosing that clip to relink in the hopes that all would come online. This labeling doesn't make sense. I did have archived timelines labeled The Broken 527, but other than that nothing more.

Relinking media question

Hi everyone,
I am using CS3
I have a question about relinking media. I have some MXF files, which are quite long (going on for 2 hours) (these were captured on a Sony EX3 camera). There are 4 mono audio tracks associated with each video file. Although CS3 works with these files it is generally quite slow, and I was planning to render them to a native format (Matrox HD) and relink the assets. The render works fine, but I am only able to export the AVI file with stereo audio or no audio (these are the only options within Premiere). When I try to relink the asset, it won't do it, as the audio componet is different. Is there any way to force Premiere into accepting it with or without audio (I am using a remixed audio on separate channel so the camera audio is irrelevant). Or anyway to export 4 channels of audio (which I can then mute if necessary)
Many thanks in anticipation.
Daniel

Hi,
I'm presuming that you mean that you don't think it's possible?

Premiere Pro CC relinking media not working correctly OSX 10.8.4

Hi Running the latest build of CC on Mac running 10.8.4 having real issues with relinking media using the media browser. I cant seem to get it to search the directory I choose using the browser at all. As soon as I hit search it starts searching the whole system drive from Applications down. I doesnt matter where I point, even another directoty on the system drive it will go back to searching /Applications first. Also typing a path in the path dialog does not seem to work at all just errors. As a note our media drives are assigned using an NFS mount at / not using Volumes not sure if this is cause?
Anybody got any ideas as to why this does not work. Having watched several videos on the net which all seem to be the Windows version it all works as it should. Having to use the old finder way which results in several passes to find everything.
Any help here appreciated as we have to move projects around a lot and this is an essential feature we really need to work better.

Im leaving the below just as it did seem to work until i loaded all my own stuff back in,
so if you can go without all your current prefs, works spaces etc then do the folowing,
if not (like me) then its still broken!
Ive jsut been on to tech support, if you delete the file called
Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp
from prefs folder
it fixes the issue,
so basically a clean install doesnt have the issue, its some kind of hang up with your presets for workspaces or actions of prefs.
here's how the conversation goes,
Bharati: In Photoshop Window, click on Edit > Presets > Preset Manager
Bharati: Then export the presets before resetting preferences.
I did this and saved to desktop, (i re imported them at the end and the 'fix' still sticks so seems to work.
Bharati: please close Photoshop application and follow the below steps.
Bharati: Open Finder.
Bharati: Click on Go > Go to folder.
Bharati: Type : ~/Library in the search field.
Bharati: Hit Go, it will navigate to the Library folder.
Bharati: From there, please open the Preferences folder.
Bharati: Just to confirm, are you using Photoshop CS6?
dan: nope CC
Bharati: Okay.
Bharati: From the Preferences folder, please open Adobe Photoshop CC settings folder.
Bharati: Then you will see Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp file.
Bharati: Please drag the Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp file to desktop.
re start Pshop,
test the problem,
re-import settings, test again,
relax..

Cannot relink media in Creative Cloud

I'm having trouble relinking media from a project created in PP 6.0 when opened in CC. The project opens with all media offline, but the connected external hard drive is not appearing in the media browser - which makes relinking apparently impossible.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply. I took the time to get in touch with Adobe support via chat. Just finding out how to contact them and then do it was a real chore in itself. The tech led me through the corrections with the problems in the temp directory. It was a long and painful process. In the end it got fixed and (after wading through a couple hours of installation routines) I have InDesign and the three other apps installed and working. It seems to me that InDesign has a real problem here. I was installing into a Win 7 OS that I had just clean installed on a brand new hard drive so it's difficult to understand why the problem occurred. Just another anomaly in the world of bits and bites, I guess.
Thanks again!

DW CS3 site cache problem

I upgraded to CS3 with no problems except I now find that if
I attempt to delete a word of pdf file that I know is linked to an
htm page, DW no longer gives me a warning message. This means that
If I do a sync. any updated word or pdf files do not get uploaded
to the server. If I do re-create the site cache the files still do
not get "re-linked". Anybody got an idea what is going on? I have
an awful lot of pdfs and docs linked from my site.
Thanx in advance

I figured out if I drag the file window to the left it will
stay on the left. I thought
before in previous version when you select files to be on the
left the preferences menu they would go to the left. Problem
solved.

CS3 Illustrator crashing problem

Hello all,
Lately my illustrator cs3 has been crashing every time I try to save a new file. It is so frustrating after doing all the work and can't save. I work on Windows XP 2002 system. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

Hi Jacob, Just so you know, I was in a hurry and no way was able to buy an expensive product to do my artwork project. I couldn't find older TRIAL versions to download without 3rd party attached programs & BS that could be bad to do.
But, I need to go back on the forum to say that I rebooted to try one more time and it worked. Don't know why it didn't work the first time around because it was a fresh open of Illustrator, hadn't been working on it for a month then the first time didn't work.
I don't have time to go back on the forum right now got to leave for work. You can mention you heard this from me if you want so that people aren't misinformed.
thanks for replying

Is this a media problem

Greetings- still learning to use the MacPro..am still moving files from PC -was in the editing stage of home movie on PC finished it up- but it won't play on my Mac- does ok in stand alone DVD player... PC burns to + R DVD only so thats what it's on - a Memorex and also a Maxell... I did not attempt to burn to Verbatim +R DVD cause I had no printable ones on hand - and I like to print the DVDs in printer ... I thought at first the Mac couldn't read +R DVDs but I found an old home movie done on the PC on a +R DVD verbatim and it loaded up fine and allowed me to play it with the built in DVD player on the MAC - so is this a user ID 10 T problem, a media problem, possible format (mpeg2) issue and whatever the heck it is, how can I make one to use in Mac- I do have a program called Toast (have never used it yet) if you write and suggest I do fancy things, pls keep in mind I'm an old gal -still learning and be precise as possible... like there are many TS folders on the disk- which do I have to copy into somewhere etc... Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Baryo- after closing the tray the DVD and it's title show up on the desk top- then the Mac DVD player opens and I push play - words pop up in the DVD player window telling me "supported disk not avail" with a circle w/line thru it. Then I tried to go up to menu bar to File and select open DVD Media - and chose the Disk Icon from the far left column (called December 1994) the DVD that's in thebuilt in Mac - Pioneer drive - doing that opened a window for me to choose either Arcsoft or Video-TS (arcsoft is the program I used to create the DVD on the PC) So, I clicked on Video TS -(A bunch 10 to be exact, of files,extended to the right after clicking Video Ts - they are TS Bup, IFO, VOB type extensions or folders in the Video-TS main folder) Since I didn't know thich one of those to click on, I just clicked on the Original Video TS folder -then I got a pop up telling me "there was a problem opening the media - the media type is not suported. I have tried dragging the Icon to the quicktime Q on my bottom (task?) bar - no can do it says.
Yes it does show up in the left pane of the Disk Utility window also- when I click on the one I need I get the info on the disk in question - ie:

Relinking Media

Hi all,
I'm sure that this question was asked befor but unfortunatly I don't find the right post here.
I started editing a project on my laptop with mediafiles form a Canon XF. On the laptop, the footage is in a subfolder beside the premiere project file. Now I move to faster desktop computer and put the project file and the footage to two different drives. When I start my project, premiere asking me where the media is, thats obvious. When I remember right, usually I show premiere the path of the first media and the rest ist linked automatically. But now only the one file ist relinked. What can I do that premiere automatically find every asset?
Thx
Johannes
edit
ok, for now I found a solution. I just copied the project file to the media drive so that again the same folder structure is there. then "save as" to the new location. But the question still remains. What if i have to relink media files where I don't know the exact file structure?

jojejo wrote: What can I do that premiere automatically find every asset?
First, watch the video that Fuzzy posted above. (looks like you did already, good)
Relinking was one of our top feature requests at CS6, and earlier. So we re-did it all for this upcoming version. In many cases, if your media has just been moved to a nearby location and all the realtive paths are the same, it will just find it for you and you won't have to relink at all. If you've moved it further away (like to a new system or drive, or to a different root path) you will have to point it to the first file and it will find everything else for you if the relative positions are unchanged or at least close. In the case where a lot of files have been moved to a lot of places, it will just prompt you whenever it gets to a file it can't find, and then continue relinking automatically from there. Also the locate file dialog contains its own media browser instances, so it should be a lot easier to navigate when you do have to hunt for your media.
Relink workflows are like snowflakes, so it won't work perfectly for everyone all the time. And like anything 'automatic', if you know what you're doing, and you expect it to perform in a certain way, you may be better off going manual. For that reason, we've allowed you to toggle off the the 'relink others automatically' and also to bypass the locate file dialog in favor of the OS finder if you prefer.
I'm not just trying to sell you on CS7 (I get no incentive for that). I just want you to know that relink has been a pain point for our users for a long time. It was greatly in need of an overhaul, which it has just gotten. I beleive that it is greatly improved for this next version, and if early reviews/previews are any indictation, our users will agree.
-James Strawn

PS @ fuzzy: I'm not sure how clear Al's demo video made this, but the last known file path is now visible as a hard-text column in the Link Media dialog. More importantly, there is a 'Last Path' field in the locate file dialog which is selectable & copy-able (but not editable). And fianlly, there is an editable Path field below 'last path'. So you can now copy/past and/or edit the text to just point it to a different root or modified path or whatever. I just read some posts on that other thread from you that looked like you were wanting to do something like that, so I thought you'd want to know.

Problem relinking media with FCP6

Hi guys,
I recently captured medias on two computers, recently upgraded to FCP6,
same settings, then I regrouped everything on one computer, everything worked at first, then no idea why, lots of problems to relink my medias.
Everytime I try to relink a group of medias, I got an error message, the attributes changed, and instead of relinking every clip I selected, FCP relinks only one, and it has 16 Audio tracks whereas there were only two when I logged in my project.
Do you know why ? I searched everywhere in the options, and didn't find anything to fix this, I don't know if it's a new bug from FCP6 or if there is a solution.
Thx for the help.

Yes, you're right, importing the media works, the problem is that the project is huge, the editor logged like 1700 clips from 55 cassettes (in 1080 with the ApplePro Res codec, there are like 2.0Tb of data), and it the project has many folders and sub-folders, so unfortunately I can't simply re-import everything because it means the editor would lose all his classification.

Problems relinking media

I have a project working in Prores422 Proxy, I have online materiale with different file extensions such as .mxf and .mov.
The proxy and online files are in a similar folder structure, a mirrored file structure. The sequence is a mix of multicam and ordinary cuts. Before I try to reconnect I flatten the timeline.
I then select all the clips and choose Make Offline, and then Link Media. In the Link Media panel I choose not to match by file extension under match file properties. I then hit locate and find the first online file and hit OK. Premiere works for a bit, but when its done only the file I directed to the online folder is from the online folder, all the other files are in the proxy folder.
Is there a way to force Premiere to only look in the online folder? Any suggestions? It takes a lot of time to reconnect each and every clip.
My machine is:
Modellidentifikator: MacPro4,1
Prosessornavn: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Prosessorhastighet: 2,26 GHz
Antall prosessorer: 2
Totalt antall kjerner: 8
Nivå 2-buffer (per kjerne): 256 kB
Nivå 3-buffer (per prosessor): 8 MB
Hukommelse: 16 GB
My Adobe version is: 2014.0.1 - 8.0.1 (21)

It´s the same machine as first posted, the file paths are:
Proxy: /Volumes/OiSAN/HBS/01_Materiale/01_HBS_Proxy/HBS_PGM101/DAG1/HBS_140901_SD_K2/
Online: /Volumes/OiSAN/HBS/01_Materiale/02_Onlinemateriale/PGM_101/DAG1/HBS_140901_SD_K2/
This is what I have tried and found out
In PP 2014.1 8.1.0 (81):
this is my relink choices:
some .mov files reconnects, .mxf don't. If I choose "Relink other automatically" only a couple will reconnect to the online material, 99% will remain proxy. If I try to "Locate", then "Search" PP will locate my .mxf but its not possible to choose "OK":
When I remove "Display Only Exact Name Matches" I can see the file and manually reconnect. Why dose not PP recognize the right file and reconnect to it? It should do this when its supposed "Relink other automatically".
In PP 2014.0 8.0.0 (169)
same relink choices. When I use the "Relink other automatically" the same thing happens. The first file is reconnected as a online file, the rest is proxy. But if I manually hit "Locate", then "Search", PP will locate my .mxf and its possible to choose "OK". It dose not show the file, but I know its the right file because you see the difference between the "Last Path" and (new)"Path".
With this "solution" I am able to reconnect to the online material, but it takes ALOT of time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

AE CS5 relink/reload problem

I am trying to open a project originally created in CS3 but I've upgraded to CS5. I am running AE on a 64bit HP PC with Win7 and the media and project are on an external Firewire drive. When I try to open the project it gets to about 90% and the wheel just...keeps...spinning. I moved the project to my desktop and unmounted the FW drive and the project opens, but of cource all media is offline. If I re-mount the drive and try to relink or reload the wheel just spins. I then moved everything (project file and media) off the FW drive and onto a video array but the results are the same --no good. I can import the files again independantly of the originals, but that would be very tedious to do for all my files in the project. Has anyone experienced this problem?

So, when all of the media and the project are on the array, when you try to re-link one of the files, the others don't automatically re-link, is that correct? Are you maintaining the same folder structure on the array?

Bridge CS3 Adobe Media Gallery

Hello:
When I upload a folder of images using Adobe Media Gallery not all of the images appear in the main window, even though the thumbnails show. For example, if I upload 200 images, image #180 is just blank, even though the associated thumbnail appears on the list of images. I'm using the template "left filmstrip", but the same problem happens with other templates. Also, sometime the opposite happens, namely the thumbnail doesn't show but when I click on the blank space where the thumbnail should be the large image appears in the main window. I'm using CS3, Bridge 2.1.1.9 on a Mac OS 10.5.8.
I've tried re-installing Photoshop without success.
Thanks for your help.

Ramón,
That looks more like an issue of uploading rather than the initial creation of the gallery. In AMG when you select more than ten images, you only get ten in the preview. Additionally, I had no success uploading to my server from AMG; I had to use Fetch. The link below will take you to my initial attempt.
Thanks for keeping me posted.
