Deleting unused media in Media Manager not working

This is one of those cases where I get really frustrated with Apple...
I've captured some footage from VHS using 'capture now', and the media that was created has a bunch of blank frames at the beginning and end. I'd like to remove the excess media from the clip to save space.
I'm following the directions EXACTLY as shown in the section "Creating Independent Media Files From Subclips After Capturing" from the Final Cut Pro User Manual on page 377 selecting subclips I want to keep and using Media Manager to delete unused media, but my media hasn't gotten any smaller, and the blank frames in the original media are still there if I reconnect it.
Furthermore, I've tried using media manager to copy the referenced media (from a subclip) to a new clip, and it just copies the whole file.
How can I get rid of this excess waste of space!!?

Well, does this footage have timecode? A REEL number? If you captured as NON-CONTROLLED device the footage might not have timecode, and without timecode the Media Manager cannot track exactly what you want to remove...what footage you want set aside and copied as the rest is deleted. This is also the case if you don't have a reel number. You might have 5 clips all with the same starting timecode but no reel number.

  • N900 Media Player and Camera not working

    Hello,
    I am having some problems with my phone which I think might be related to gstreamer.
    When I open the camera cover and the camera tries to launch I get the error message "Operation failed". Media player also does not work, I can see the media files but when I try playing them nothing happens.
    I used gstreamer to capture images for an application that I created and it has always worked fine until recently, when I started noticing the problems with the camera and media player.
    Between the time everything was working and now, this is what I have done:
    -installed OpenGL ES 2
    -installed Qt
    -copied a bunch of screenshots from the phone to my Mac (i think I just did it through bluetooth but I might have used the usb cable)
    Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
    -connect the phone via usb to a windows computer, rightclick the n900 icon and error check (as recommended on this forum)
    -update the firmware using app manager
    -reboot
    -type dmesg in the terminal after opening the lens cover - that did not output any errors
    Could this be related to anything other than the gstreamer? If it is the gstreamer, should I try reinstalling it?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Best,
    Eyrun

    Thanks. The reason why I haven't done that yet is that the gstreamer libraries came with the phone as I got it and I am not sure what needs to be installed. It seems like there are many plugins and something called totem-gstreamer that I might need additionally. Do you know of any good references for how this should be done for N900? I haven't been able to find one. Also, I do think it is a little bit strange that all of a sudden gstreamer would stop working, that's why I wonder if it could be something else?
    Best,

  • 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.

  • Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

    I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
    I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

  • After the updating firefox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explan why?

    After the updating fire fox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explain why?

    Add-on developers need to keep up with new versions of Firefox as they are released and update their product. Have you checked with IDM to see if they have an update for you to install? Or ask them when they are going to have an update ready for 5.0.
    Another thing you could do is to install FlashGot. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/ <br />

    The developer of Flashgot, Giorgio Maone, keeps his extensions compatible with versions of Firefox that are still in development - future release versions.

    Using CSS 8.3. Can use fingerprint to log into W7. But the Password Manager feature will no longer work.

    Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
    Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
    Thanks

    This is my problem that has to originate from the update.  So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook!  Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
    I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc.  When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed.  I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud.  I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files.  Once updated again, I could no longer open pages.  It began, to open and abruptly shut down.

  • Satellite M45 : Smart Media SD Card Reader not working

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite M45, Laptop, and for some reason the SD Smart Media system does not work. The bay is attached to the laptop, it is not an external drive. I insert the SD chip, be it 1g or 512 mb it does not load the disk, or show any sign of it being even in the computer.
    I do however notice a blue light next to the Bay that goes on when i plug a Disk in it. But it reads nothing for some reason. I have tried allready (several times) to re-install the drivers and restart the computer, but nothing happens i get the same thing wrong.
    Do you have and suggestions or ideas that might fix this problem of mine.

    Hi
    Did you connect this external bay to the USB ports?
    Did install the drivers for this external device?
    After driver installation, please check the device manager if the external device will appear.
    Furthermore you can try to disable the option Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power in the USB root Hub properties.
    This you will also find in the device manager

    What to do???

    You'll have better luck asking such questions in the Premiere and AME forums.... Could simply be running out of temp disk space or a problem with teh Media Cache.... anyway, ask the pros...
