DR-HD100 hard drive workflow

hi all
I was wondering if you could give me sort of a step by step guide to transfering or uploading the footage from the
DR-HD100 hard drive onto a mac book pro for editing on FCP software. I have uplaoded footage from firestores onto PC and avid software before but i didnt know weather it is different uploading onto a mac, is it? we are shooting in HD probly 1080I if you need that info.

While I"m not a Firestore user I can tell you that you don't want to load the content onto your MacBook Pro drive, but rather you want to use an external HD with a firewire connection. Whether you can use the DR-HD100 hard drive for this purpose is something someone else will need to comment on, but HDDs are pretty cheap these days so you can always transfer to an external HDD and edit away using that configuration.

  • Configuration of Hard Drives & Workflow.

    It's time for some spring cleaning. I have just added a 3rd external hard drive. I am pondering my storage layout and workflow.
    I edit on a 2010 MBP, the hard drives are 1 500 GB, 1 TB and 1 2TB drives. All of the drives have a eSTATA connection and 2 also have firewire 800 ports. I have an express card for the eSTATA, but don't know how or if I can daisy chain these drives that way. The 2 with firewire ports have 2 ports each so I can link them by getting another firewire cable.
    I mostly use FCE and Aperture.
    My plan right now is to use the 500 GB for Time Machine. Maybe the 1TB for Aperture Referenced Masters and then the 2 TB for FCE scratch drive.
    Any suggestions?
    I'll save my work flow steam lining for another post after I get the drive layout resolved.

    With eSata not going to be an option for all 3 drives. I'll use eSATA for the 2 TB and daisy-chain the other 2 with FW800
    I'll use the 500GB for Time Machine, but which would be the better plan?
    A) Put stills on the 1TB and use the 2TB for FCE scratch drive and back up the compressed camera data on DVD's
    B) Use the 1 TB for camera data and then either folders or partition the 2TB for camera imports and FCE scratch drives,
    In either plan the AVCHD files get converted at log and transfer and the h264 data gets converted via 3rd party conversion software. In both cases the converted files end up on the scratch drive.
    I should also mention that I plan to use QT not self contained exports and keep them on the internal drive. I am currently keeping disk images of finished projects on an external hard drive, unsure what to do with them. maybe I need an other drive or not bother with saving disk images ?

  • External Hard Drive Workflow

    Hey, everybody.
    Does anyone know a good workflow for compressor used in conjunction with an external hard drive?
    I keep having my files go offline - annoying. My project is stored on my external hard drive G Raid2. So, I send the clips from there to compressor, and I've tried setting the "target" as desktop, source, and I've also tried setting the target as a folder in my G Raid.
    I'm really lost because I can't settle down on one path over the other. Some of these paths, and I'm not sure which ones, are causing my files to go offline. They also seem to go offline when I try to move them from one area to another.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Trey

    Hey, thanks for writing.
    I accidentally hit submit on my first post - didn't double up on purpose.
    No worries. It just gets really confusing posting answers to the same questions in multiple threads.
    Yes, they are showing as offline in FCP, not compressor.
    Is this consistant? Are you able to reconnect your offline media? Does this happen only with your G-Raid?
    Can you please describe your workflow for me? Especially what your "target" is once you submit your clips from compressor. I think this is what's holding me up.
    Sure. I use Compressor in my workflows in a couple of different ways. I normally create a Master Quicktime file out of Final Cut Pro first. My air masters usually need to be encoded for DVD (m2v & ac3) for clients and/or for my website (m4v) for display.
    I rarely encode Via Compressor out of Final Cut Pro, primarily because you're only as fast as your slowest app. Compressor really knows how to use multiple cores for its encoding, where FCP does not. That's my main reason for exporting self-contained Quicktimes from FCP first.

  • PC Build - Hard Drive/Workflow questions

    Hello all!
    I'm building a PC for someone and I know nothing about adobe premier, I've done research  to understand what the requirements are and different recommended  setups, I guess the biggest thing I'm grasping at is the hard drives,  and I think it's because I don't understand the workflow, I'm planning:
    500GB 7200rpm - OS/Page File
    RAID  0 - 2 x 500GB 7200rpm - I assume this is where you would keep all your  projects as you were working on them for rendering/editing etc.. ? I  know it's a requirement for Premier CS5, but it didn't really go into  detail on what's to be stored on it.
    2TB - I assumed the user  of the machine would need somewhere to store his finished work, if this  isn't needed, or a 7200rpm 1TB drive would be better, I can absolutely  change it.
    Also, after reading: http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm it seems like I might as well get the GT240 since there is no performance difference (at least at this current time), I was looking at getting: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127483&Tpk=msi%20gt240
    Does this make sense (for someone on a budget)?
    I just want to be sure I get the hardware and configuration right,  so I don't buy all these parts and realize I should have ordered x x  instead of y.
    Thanks!

    If you require a budget card then look at this

    There are many to chose from different manufacturers.

  • Help with workflow - out of hard drive space?

    Help... not sure the best way to deal with this.
    I've got a Quad G5, 2 hard drives... 1 as O/S and the other for storing stuff. Well, my hard drive is full now and I've got a feeling (even if I got a new 500gig hard drive) it would be full again within 6 months. How do I deal with this?
    Should I buy external drives and just run the photos off the external drives? When one get's full, go to the next? Is this the best "workflow" method. Does someone recommend something better?
    And... if that is the best... won't using external hard drives slow my performance? Time is money...
    Thanks,
    jp

    I think these are the options, or at least some of them:
    * Burn a DVD with a bunch of your pictures. Import that DVD as a folder to Aperture. You will just have references (and versions and modifications) in Aperture, and thereby save some space.
    * Take an existing Folder and Export it and put the exported file (with extension ".approject") on a DVD. If you are really short of space, delete the Folder from Aperture afterwards. Once you drag the exported file back from the DVD to Aperture, everything will be restored (I hope).
    In the above paragraphs you can of course replace "DVD" with "external harddrive" or something more powerful

  • Workflow for Live Video Feed to External Hard Drive?

    My goal is to eliminate the "import from tape playback" step when filming a video blog for a medical client. Would this workflow work?
    Sony DSR-PD170 video camera "live feed" Firewire output to
    MacBookPro Firewire400 port input to
    iMovie project capture output via Firewire 800 port to
    LaCie 500GB d2 Quadra Hard Drive FireWire800 port
    In other words, is the MacBook Pro capable of simultaneously importing through the Firewire 400 port and exporting to the Firewire 800 port? I've done something similar with the two Firewire 400 ports on my iMac, a DV tape deck, and a Lacie Firewire external hard drive.
    Thanks for your feedback!
    ---j

    hey there RI,
    if you've tried something similar on your iMac & had no problems it's reasonable to think/believe it will work on your MBP, w/ this caveat: the 400 & 800 ports are actually on the same buss, so the 800 port will handle it's data at the lower(400) rate if there is a device on each port. shouldn't affect any editing w/ the drive once the cam is removed from the MBP. it should the run @ the higher rate.
    good luck.

  • Workflow for deleting extra footage from session/hard drive

    I want to save hard drive space. I have several session of 40gb each. I am new to video editing and realize the way to work is to trim the 4gb files so that I only have the needed footage on the drive, deleting the prerolls and extras from my drive. BUT, I dont know how to do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Is this task better done before I create a project?
    So what is the best workflow?
    Workflow A
    1. Insert SD Media to Computer and edit using MPEG Streamclip or Quicktime(trimming)
    2. Export clips into Session/Scene based folders on main footage hard drive
    3. delete source files from SD media - large files never get saced to hard drive
    If this is best, what export settings are best for Premiere Pro CS6.
    Can this task be as easily done in CS6?
    Workflow B
    1. Insert SD card into computer and open clips in Premiere Pro CS6
    2. Add Scenes/Sessoins into a Sequence and use in/out points to drop clips/subclips into the project(per scene)
    3. export them to hard drive and delete session footage.
    Id this is best, how do you export from Premiere Pro CS6 so that the clips in the sequence are now referenced, the audio and video are stored where I can access them/labeled and I can trash the source footage.
    I hope this makes sense. I want to trim away the wwasted footage and drive space. My 250GB drive is almost full and only 20-30GB is useufl footage. I need a workflow to reduce the file sizes.
    For the current footage  I have the resolution of the export doesnt matter, no one will see them but me. Rehearsal footage. I need the audio and video to stay linked(is that what rendering does?)
    Thanks.

    So an example of what i'm doing is this.
    Last week I  captured 4 rehearsals (musicians and dancers) each lasting one hour. Each rehearsal contains only 2o mins of usefull footage. But the 20 mins are spread out so that if i edited each session there would be 5 4min clips. There will be rehearsals ongoing for twelve weeks so I''ll be duplicating this process many times. I want to save space on the drive by doing some initial editing to reduce each hour session to 5 4min clips.
    What is the best workflow  so that at the end of each week I have 4folders each holding the 20mins of good footage(and audio) on my drive and all the unneccessary footage is trashed. A few sessions will comprise a multicamera setup. All sessions have audio from the cameras and audio from a mixing console. I want all the audio from every source kept.
    I want to preedit each week so that 12 weeks from now when I do the master edit, I have already saved rive space, matched audio sources to the clips(even if I havent edited multicamera clips)
    Can you help me with the front end of the post capture workflow? What is the best way to save space and time given my goal of documenting the rehearsals and for havign a compilation video later? Thanks !!!!

  • Workflow, creating new library on an External Hard Drive

    Hi, Hopefully I'm really dumb and this will be easy for someone to answer. I'm struggling a bit with workflow in aperture 2. I have several external hard drives (one I'd like to use as a vault, and another I'd like to store most of my images on- and be able to work on them from my MBP). I also have time machine with a 500gb drive that does backups like every hour if that helps. . .
    So heres my question. . . How do I make this all work together??? So far I've been exporting projects to the hard drive (time consuming and once they are exported I have to reimport them to work with the images- I'm sure there has to be a better way). Basic problem number 1-I can't figure out how to "create" another library on the external HD.
    HD space on my MBP is limited so I'm trying to keep the storage to a minimum of current projects loading everything elas onto the external drive.
    Thanks for your patience. . .
    dr

    Yes...
    First, you need to move your iTunes songs onto the external hard drive. You can do this by going to (your home folder)->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music and then move each artist or song onto the external drive.
    Second, if you want to play the songs directly from the external hard drive without importing them back onto your computer:
    Open iTunes. Go to the iTunes menu->Preferences. Then go to the "Advanced" tab. There's a checkbox (most likely checked) next to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library". Uncheck that.
    I would do the same for any other computer that you want to play music from the external drive with.
    You're all set! Tell me if this works...

  • Help/explanation needed - Using an external hard drive

    Hi everyone,
    I bought an external 250gb hard drive as my MBP was very close to full capacity. Yesterday, I had a bit of a scare...
    1. I backed up my Aperture Library onto the external hard drive.
    2. I had about 500 of my favourite images rated 5 star and so I selected these and set up a new project.
    3. I went through my Aperture library deleting folders/projects that I have completed.
    4. I went back into the 5 star ratings and they did not exist. I assume this is because I deleted the master files.
    5. I wanted to have the 5 star images on my laptop and so I connected my external hard drive once again. [This is where I felt I lost control and understanding of what was going on].
    6. I looked for the seperate Aperture files but could only find a file called Aperture Library. I clicked on this but nothing happened at all [I had thought that it would open up Aperture with the previous library].
    7. I dragged the library onto my desktop and waiting for all the images to reload onto my laptop. I then saw that everything was as it was previously, i.e. all the files and images existed. However, my hard drive space was even lower [I assume this was because the current workflow that I had left on the laptop was now duplicated?].
    8. Then I got a message saying my iDisk space is critically low and may damage my Aperture library. Moments later the majority of my images disappeared and a red space appeared where every photo had previously been. Since I have 2 weddings that I am yet to deliver I was very panicked. I tried to drag and drop the Aperture library once again and the message came back that the operation could not be completed due to the current file already existing.
    9. I unplugged the external hard drive and the photos re-appeared [much to my delight]. However, my concern is that I really don't understand what happened and more importantly why. I will need access to the data on the external hard drive in the event in the near future and am worried that the same thing will happen next time I connect it.
    As a result of all this I have some questions, as follows:-
    - Have I adopted the completely wrong approach to backing up data?
    - Can the master files be compressed as I shoot RAW and these are huge files?
    - Why could I not use the Aperture library stored on the external hard drive without downloading it back onto the laptop?
    and a more general question about file storage...
    - I am confused as to how much hard drive space is being used on my MBP. I have 13gb in Aperture, 1gb in iTunes and 1gb in iPhoto. However, I only have 50gb available, so half the capacity is currently being used. I know that Aperture and Garageband applications use about 10gb between them and there is of course the operating system, but 50gb in total seems a lot. On investigation in the finder screen I see that on my personal drive the Aperture, iTunes and iPhoto data is stored there. However, it is also stored under pictures and music respectively. Does this mean that it is storing duplicate copies of this data and that is the explanation for such high hard drive usage? If this is the case, can one be removed?
    I appreciate that this has been a long email, but I felt it was important to illustrate the steps I have taken. As you will no doubt glean from this post I am not the most computer literate person. Any help/explanation would be most appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jamie

    Hi Jamie.
    I am not sure what went wrong with your setup but I will let you know my configuration as an example and you can decide if you think it is a good way to have it. I am asuming you are using ver 1.5?
    Like you I have only a Laptop (G4 17" 1.5Ghz 2 Gig Ram - would love a macbook) so hard disk space is a premium. I also have an external firewire drive to hold all the HiRes RAW images. When I download my images from the Camera I do it manually into folders on the external drive (Cataloged by Date and maybe description of location). I then Import the images from those folders into Aperture but use the option when importing to "Store Files - In their current location".
    My Aperture library file is on my laptop so all that it has to store is the "Preview" file that gets generated automatically (in the preferences I have it set up to the resolution of my laptop 1440pix so that if I did a slide show it is only as big as my screen - anything more is a waste of disk space IMO.)
    I do it this way so that it is easy to find and work on my files with other programs such as Photoshop by going straight to the image rather than exporting from Aperture.
    Obviously I cant edit the RAW files while the drive is disconnected but I can still do ratings and keywords without the original files being there.
    I hope this helps.

  • Hard Drive Crash - getting a Photo Book onto new computer

    I just had a catastrophic hard drive crash on my G5 iMac (still using 10.4, so no Time Machine). Thankfully I actually got all my photos back - backed up 2 months ago, most of the rest are still on our memory card, and the few that aren't I could save using a disk recovery program.
    However, I still have an iPhoto hard copy book on the dead drive, but hadn't ordered it yet, and would like to recover it. Even with the disk recovery program, the iPhoto library is in bad shape (I couldn't copy it to another drive - just got an error message). However, most of it appears intact. Here's what I'm hoping to do:
    1) Restore (on a new drive) from my backup from 2 months ago
    2) Copy back in the photos I either saved from the dead hard drive, or from my camera's card.
    3) Somehow get back the iPhoto book I'd been working on. Here's my question - where in my old iPhoto library would I find the file or files that make up this book? If I find them, can I simply copy those files into my backed-up iPhoto library? Or is there some other way I can get my iPhoto book back?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All books, calendars, cards, etc. are contained in the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. If you can recover that file from your damaged drive put it in your recovered library and see if it will bring back the book. However, if the structure of the library package is not exactly like it was when it crashed it will not work.
    Without a complete backup of the iPhoto LIbrary package it's neigh on to impossible to recover a book or calendar from bits and pieces of a recovered library. There are other ways a library can be damaged, primarily the database file, and a very easy way to recover from it is to have a *very current* backup copy of the database file. One way to achieve is it described in the tip at the end of my signature. It describes a way to have a backup copy that can be only minutes old if you run it properly.
    Also, to protect your image files themselves get an external HD and use it to backup the full library and other important files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Hi, how do I back up my iPhoto library to Lightroom, so its also on an external hard drive, where is the Back up utility?

    Hi, somehow I imported all of my iPhoto library into Lightroom, which is saved to an external hard drive, but now I cannot remember how I did that...and I am looking to update the additional photos i've put into iPhoto to Lightroom...
    Thanks for any advice...Eric

    As a mich more powerful app I think you'll find that Lightroom is also quite capable of "uploading, screening, and deleting unwanted photos."
    The point about using both is that you have an overly complex workflow -  and that leads to situations like the one you have now, where you can't recall the workflow you used.
    Put another way, it's like wrting your novel part on Word and part in TextEdit. Which bit goes where? The best advice is to pick one horse and ride it.
    Do don't "import photos to the Finder" you export them from iPhoto to the Finder. File -> Export....
    On your Mac you have Time Machine as a back up application. There are also many, many others. Search on

  • How can I stop my external hard drives being renamed by Lightroom?

    Since early December I have had innumerable problems with LR and my external hard drives. I have 3 external hard drives all Western Digital, 2 x 320gb Passport and 1 x 1tb Elements. I labelled the hard drives as the computer named them when I first installed them (E&F). Since then LR calls them whatever it wants when I plug them in so there are always question marks beside my photos as LR thinks I have plugged a different hard drive in.
    Although I only have 1 x 1tb WD Elements hard drive LR calls it something different if I disconnect it and reconnect it so it then starts trying to find all my photos again.
    My partner doesn't have these problems as he never unplugs his hard drives but I need to as sometimes I work on a laptop with the same LR catalogue, if I am working away, so I take a hard drive with me with the relevant images on.
    I could do with:
    a) a way of naming my WD hard drives so LR recognises which are plugged in
    b) a very straightforward digital workflow - I have many LR books but need a LR genius to say 1) do this 2) do that etc. - I have approx 30,000 images and even without the hard drive problems am getting a bit bogged down trying to be organised - I'm a photographer not an administrator and am really bad at the organisational side.
    Help, please, I'm drowning in technology - ps I love Lightroom!

    Then the issue is most likely WIndows XP. When one attaches a remote drive, Windows XP can arbitrarily assign it to any one of the drive letter assignments, D: through Z:. A: and B: are reserved for diskette drives, and C: is typically assiged to the boot drive where Windows XP resides.
    The drive letters change typically when one plugs in the external drives in different order. So if you have DriveA and DriveB, and you plug in DriveA then DriveB, then DriveA may get assigned D: and DriveB may get assigned E:. If, however, one plugs in DriveB first then DriveA, the order will probably get reversed, in which case Lightroom will lose track of all the photo which it had previously found in location D: and E:.
    The solution is to use windows disk management to force the assignment of the drive letters. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844 for details. Assign the letters that Lightroom uses.
    A problem you may run into is if you attach a new drive then attach your photo drives. I believe that Windows will give the new drive the D; slot, since it is unused, but then randomly assign the photo drive because it's defined location is unavailable. Windows is a poor manager of such things, Apple is not.
    The solution is to always attach drives in the same order, and Windows will assign the drive correctly, assume one has performed the tasks in the article.
    Another approach is to use the Windows mount command. If you're brave, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/205524.

  • MacBook Pro And External Hard Drives

    My only Apple computer is a MacBook Pro.  I've just got a new camera that stores both RAW and JPEG for each shot so my internal drive is filling up fast.  I need to get an external hard drive and move my Aperture library to that.
    When I travel, I wish to continue to use Aperture with the internal drive of the MacBook Pro.  I'm not sure if I understand the workflow.  Please would someone help me understand the best way to do this properly?
    I think what I need to do is this:
    Let's call the existing library on the internal disk home.  After moving home from the internal to the new external drive, I must create a new library on the internal drive - let's call it travel.  When on the road, I should use the travel library and, when I get back, merge it with the home library. 
    How do I do that though?
    The documentation on merging libraries describes the scenario where you have two computers instead of my scenario.  I'm guessing that you open the home library and import the travel library.  If that's right, do you just then delete the travel library and start again on your next trip?
    Also, what do you do about vaults?  Have a second external drive and put them on there?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    There are two things you could do:
    Turn your Aperture Library into a referenced library and relocate the master image files to your external drive. You will be able to browse, grade, and tag your images even if the external drive is not connected, but you can only edit those images whose masters are managed. Sp perhaps you could keep the masters of the most recent projects managed. while you are on the road import the new images into the library and relocate them to your external drive when you get back.
    To relocate to an external drive: Select the images and use
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What I sometimes do when on vacation: create a new, second Aperture Library on my travel MacBook Pro and import my new pictures from the trip into this library. When I return I import the new Library from the trip into my main Aperture LIbraryFile -> Import -> Library/Project

  • Internal Hard Drive Free Space Issue

    Hey,
    I recently upgraded my 17" MacBook Pro from Tiger to Snow Leopard but the upgrade seems to have created a number of problems, the most notable being the lack of free space now available on my internal hard drive.
    I also had to install a trial version of Aperture 3.0.3 in order to access my aperture library as the older version of Aperture is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
    At this point the free space available on my internal hard drive was 36GB and my aperture library was 39GB. I had to uninstall Photoshop Elements 9 in order to create enough free space to open this library.
    I bought an external hard drive and after some organising (importing and exporting to and from external hard drive), I eventually moved all photo files/folders, projects and libraries onto this external drive, leaving only one in-progress project (about 3GB) left on the internal volume.
    I also exported my iTunes library and any other files to this external drive.
    All trashes have been emptied.
    The problem is that, despite all this clear-out, I now only have 2GB of free space on the internal hard drive.
    I ran Disk Inventory X and it shows that my home folder is using 155GB of space, which seems ridiculous considering there is in effect nothing left on my laptop save for the application programs and the one remaining project.
    I have manually checked through this folder and all its subfolders and have found nothing that would accumulate to this amount of space.
    I have repaired an issue with the internal volume, but it is now showing a “minor” problem with the volume header.
    If someone can provide and explanation/solution to this I would be very grateful as it is severely slowing my workflow at the moment.
    Thanks

    Baresi:
    I suggest that you begin with Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    I recommend that you make sure that you make a bootable clone of your entire volume using a utility like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    You should also seriously consider installing a larger capacity drive.

    Hello guys,
    this is my first message here... I'm from Rome, I'm a photographer and I am - obvioulsy - a Mac enthusiast user!
    I use Aperture for a year, this is a great app for my workflow but now I have a "little big" problem.
    Today, I've bought a new external hard drive where I've moved the Aperture Library and all my photo archive (referenced files). Now Aperture opens the library from the new location, it shows all previews but can't locate any master because it looks for them in the old path.
    I'm trying to set up the new one with "Relocate Masters for Projects..." and "Manage Referenced Files..." commands but I had no success.
    Please, could you help me?
    What is the right procedure to solve this problem?
    I'm going mad...
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    I found today that you only really need to "re-refrence" one image...so the post above is correct. You just need to have all of the images you want to reconnect when you go to the "manage referenced files" box.
    Assuming that all of them are on the same volume, and relatively in the same location, this should work.
    1) Select all of your images...say all of the 2007 images.
    2) Right click on one that is showing the offline volume.
    3) Select "Managed referenced files..."
    4) Find the 1 file in the browser that needs refrencencing, and it should light up the "Reconnect All" button.
    5) Click "Reconnect All"
    ...it'll take a while (depending on # of images, but it should work.
