CS5 Media browser - missing clips

Hello all,
Tried to use media browser to import clips and it will only see SOME of them.
I transferred the entire AVCHD native root folder from each of my 3 cameras and placed them on my PC's media drive in folders labeled camera 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Camera 1 media browser will only see files 99-154
Camera 2 it sees nothing
Camera 3 it sees all of them
This is when viewing as "AVCHD" in the media browser window. If I select "View as: File Directory" it sees every file in each of the cameras folders. If I navigate through the folder structure in Windows Explorer all the clips/files are present.
My cameras had all been cleared of any other footage prior to the shoot, contained only footage was from the day of this particular shoot. Oh, and just to help with trouble shooting....FCP's log and transfer window sees everything just fine, so I am fairly certain that it is not file/folder corruption
My own trouble shooting:
Connecting camera 1 to the PC directly via USB and CS5 media browser when Viewing as: AVCHD, sees files 99-154
Connected to the Mac, CS5 media browser when Viewing as: AVCHD sees files 99-154
Connected to the SAME Mac opened FCP's Log and Transfer window and it sees everything. Files 1-154 with thumbnails.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING?!? Please help......thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Well I am just gonna keep posting my research on this matter here on this forum in hopes that SOMEBODY......ANYBODY....can help me to find out the reason for this issue.
I filmed a wedding Saturday with 4 Panny HDC-HS700 AVCHD cams. Shot b-roll all morning, shot the ceremony, then the reception.
my camera 2 had 96 files on it. all the files were short clips except for the ceremony which was about 27 min. long. NONE of the files on this camera exceeded the 4gb file size limit of the camera's harddrive. So there were no spanned files.
PPRO would not see ANY of these clips in the media browser when in "View as: AVCHD" but would see all of them in "View as: file directory"
Now for the fun part.
I turned my camera on made 6 more short clips to put the total to 102 and then recorded for an hour and ten mins. straight. creating a spanned avchd file in with all the other 102 clips.
Plugged the camera into the PC directly, and found that PPRO now sees clips 97-103 in "View as: AVCHD" in the media browser....but the first 96 are not there still?!?!?!?!?!?
I have another instance where I filmed a pretty large job in Atlanta a few months back, so I pulled that footage in........it would again see all the files in "View as: file directory" but this time in "View as: AVCHD" it would see files 1-20 then skip to files 121-259
I will add again that Final Cut Pro 7's Log and Transfer window has seen ALL of the above mentioned clips spanned and unspanned without issue whatsoever.
PLEASE HELP.....starting to lose my mind here.
I HOPE that I am doing something wrong....so that the fix will be easy.

When dragging in folder from media browser, some clips missing?

I've noticed a strange problem where if I drag a folder with video clips in from the media browser, not all of the clips will make it into the project all of the time.
Whereas if I open up that folder and select all the media files individually, they all make it into the project.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency that I can see when I drag in a folder and not all the files therein make it into the project. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before? This must be a bug.
Currently using Premiere Pro CC 2014 - 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

Actually - technically all of these clips are in the project. See I have a lot of unlogged clips in my project. I'm having another editor log the clips on a different computer, then I'm bringing the logged clips back into the project, and then just double checking the file count of the original folder and the file count of the new folder to see that they match up.
Does this shed any more light? The fact it's not consistent is what is weird. Is it possible maybe the clips that are already in a project and in a sequence somewhere don't get imported?
Any thoughts on how I can make the process smoother given the work flow? Thanks.

Clips out of order in CS5 Media Browser

Could someone please explain to me why my clips in media browser are completely out of order from the way they were shot? I transferred the files directly into a file on the computer then called up those files from the media browser. They don't appear in chronilogical order. Also when I try to pull up the files in Bridge, I don't get a clip thumbnail even though it is checked. White squares appear with no image.

In the top right of the media browser, there is a little icon called the flyout menu... click it and choose 'Edit Columns'.
Put a checkmark in the box called 'date Created'and then click ok
Now, at the top of the media browser the columns 'Name', FilePath, 'DateCreated' should be listed. You can sort your media by any of those columns by clicking on them.
Not sure about bridge... maybe someone else can help you with that.

Media Browser "processing" clips forever, keeps jumping up to top...

When I want to import clips via the media browser, I try to scroll down and while some clips have an image, most say "processing". And as I try to scroll further down, it is constantly jumping back up to the top. I thought I would leave it in peace for a while to "process", but when I returned to the computer, this was still happening, and even clips which had previously been displayed with an image had returned to being non-descript boxes with "processing" on them.
What is going on? Is it because there are too many clips in this folder?

welcome to the media browser hell that is Adobe Premiere. The good news is you are not alone and Adobe are aware of it. The bad news is they have been aware of the problem for a couple of years and have yet to roll out a fix.
Bug reports don't seem to have done the trick so am hoping that someone from adobe reads these forums and give us some much needed help.
one work around, although a pain in the a%$$ is to have the media browser set as list and have lightroom / bridge as the viewer of the clip thumbnails. a slow and clunky work around but kinda works.

Aperture 3 Media Browser Missing

I know there are other topics discussing this, but none of them have yielded a fix for me. Is there any news on an official fix for this problem? At the moment I cannot access any of my Aperture pics in iLife or mail etc....

I think the best help anyone can offer at this stage is to redirect you to the Aperture forums here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=184
Everyone there has some level of experience with that app.

Keynote 6.0 no photos in media browser

Recently upgraded everything to current. Keynote 6 media browser missing all photos from Aperture or iPhoto. Music and movies seem to show up fine.
I have tried deleting com.Apple.iPhoto.plist to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Reid

The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

Can you see which timeline clips are being used in Media Browser?

I'm a relatively new user and may not be familiar enough with cs5.5 but
is there a way to see what clips are being used on the editing timeline in the media browser.
I open premiere pro - Project is loaded. I edit the scene until it is finished.
When I look over at the media browser, all my raw clips (some of which I'm
using on the editing timeline) look the same - I can't tell which ones I using on the timeline.
The reason I ask - when I fiinish editing a scene it would be nice to glance over at the
media brower folder where my raw clips are located - easily see which ones I'm using because they
are highlighted or checked and then delete the ones I no longer need.
Is there a way to do this now?
Thanks
Jeff

I dont think so but a better way is to look in the top of the Project Window and there is a drop down that will show you all the useage instances of the clip. You can click on them to go to them in the timeline.

Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
thanks,
Mark

I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
[1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
[2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
[2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
[2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
[2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
[2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
[2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
[2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
[2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
cheers,
Mark

MXF Missing Audio in Media Browser, or Is it?

Happy Fourth of July to all my American friends. Did you know it's going to be the Forth of July up in Canada and everywhere else in the world tomorrow too? Can't tell you how many times I've been asked if we have the Forth of July in Canada. Duh, of course!
So I've got a weird thing going on. I use Sony Clipbrowswer to cut up my BPAV files and trim everything down and then I convert them to MXF (I personally HATE the BPAV folder structure). I look at the clips in Media Browser in PP and I get perfect video, but no audio.
I then import the clips into the project and look at them in the Source Monitor. Same thing. Video, yes; audio no.
I drag the exact same clips into the timeline and they come in with 4 channels of audio (huh?) and BOTH the video and audio work fine. Not sure what's going on. I would really like to see AND HEAR them in the media browswer and source monitor so I can set my in/out points.
Any ideas? BPAVs of the same files act normal, just not their MXF sister files.
Happy Forth to everyone else in the world too!

Any ideas?
Yep. The Source Monitor has the annoying limitation of only being able to preview one audio channel of a multi-track clip at a time. So, even though your source footage has four mono channels, by default, the Source Monitor will only preview Track 1. You can change that to Track 2, Track 3, etc., but no matter what, you can't hear a mixed monitor output.
What I suspect is happening is that your first audio track doesn't have any audio, or it's very low. When you drop the clip wholesale into a sequence, you can hear the audio because you're getting all four tracks mixed. If you click the Output button in the Source Monitor and change to Audio Waveform view, you can use the track selector dropdown to choose which audio track you want to preview. Unfortunately, this isn't "sticky," so you'll need to do it each time you open a multi-mono clip, if your primary audio isn't on Track 1.
I've made several feature requests for improvements to this functionality. I work a lot with P2 MXF, and this has driven me half-mad; whenever I interview, I put my primary audio (lav) on Track 2. Previewing and marking up clips like this is a bear without proper audio monitoring.
Anyway... does that fix it?

RAID is missing in Media Browser

RAID is missing from the Media Browser. I can see the RAID icon (AM VIDEO) in the bin but can see it in the file directory. Double clicking on the icon doesn't open the RAID. My work around is to place an alias of a directory needed from the RAID on the desktop.
RAID is an OWC Mercury Rack Pro and it's visible and fully functional in the finder. Problem occurs in CC and CC14
Mac Pro 5,1, 10.9.3

I've just had it happen too. A brand new OWC RAID 1 drive (less than a week old) has suddenly, under Pr 2014, lost the ability to see this drive. When it arrived I formatted it with Apple's Disk Utility. Adobe Premiere has been working fine until this version. Now Premiere cannot see this drive in media browser, while the Finder can, and DU reports no problems, and neither does Disk Warrier. The drive seems fine. But Adobe can't see it.
Given the variety of people discussing this, here and on other boards, I'm thinking that there is a bug with Media Browser. I now have to *reformat* my drive, which means hours of moving files off to another drive and back on. If this is a bug, we need to know what's happening! I will be *very* unwilling to upgrade to the next version of Adobe software given this situation!

IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

iMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Do not render. Export.

When reopen Premier Pro CC, get message "missing media for these clips". I haven't moved files or anything. Please help.

When reopen a project in Premier Pro, I get the error message "missing media for these clips" and a listing of every file in the project.
When try to view, just get thumbnails with question marks.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Is the media on an external drive?

Missing media for 17 clips when I open a project.

I'm a brand new user. I'm using Classroom In A Book as my tutorial. When I open a project, I'm missing media for 17 clips. Nothing I've tried finds them.

Thanks! I did finally find them. Now I don't know what to do with them. I
assume I'm supposed to link them to the lesson I'm working on, but I see
nothing that will let me do that.

Media Browser - Clips reload after scroll

Hi and thanks for stopping by to offer some advice. I'm working with some Sony EX3 footage in premiere, viewing the clips in the media browser. When I load the folder and scroll through the clips they load, but then it seems to crash and reload from the beginning again. Any ideas what could be causing this?

What version of Premiere?
Have you installed all applicable updates?
I think this was a CS6 bug that was resolved in CS6 updates.
I can't advise regarding CC7.
