Experiment Results: Removing/Replacing Projects, Media Manually

Experiment Results: Temporarily removing Events and Projects from library
REASON: I wanted to test removing events and especially ram-hungry projects from FCPX 10.1 to unclog the app a bit. I've been getting lots of spinning wheel time and dropdown windows saying projects unopened and unneeded were being loaded.
METHOD: I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
Why not remove them? There seems to be hysteria about manually touching the library but no one relates an actual incident that highlights how things can go wrong.
I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
NOTE: The projects are early versions of segments of feature length doc I most likely will never need to bring back in.
After removing an Event that had only Projects, FCPX opened no problem and a lot quicker.
ODDITY: Removed Events names still appeared with the twirly triangle beside them tho the event icon didn't appear and the Events were empty. I tried trashing them but couldn’t.
I then closed fcpx and removed media. Reopened no problem. Closed.
Returned Event folders and media to their proper place, reopened no problem. The projects were all there tho their icons were blank at first but then after a couple minutes pics started appearing in them and pretty soon all seemed normal. I opened projects, they worked, no problem.
TO TRY?:
Moving projects & media manually between events—This may be where things get dicey, but you could do this manually with earlier versions of FCPX. It's not something I would do normally since ti's too easy to do in FCPX. But since I have this copy I might try it just to see what happens. If you don't experiment it's  not science it's religion. And since I wasn't eaten by monsters doing the above it makes me doubt the hysteria about this. Still something I wouldn't normally do.

Yes, I think you're right. In another discussion, a gent said his students had had corrupted files. That wasn't something I'd heard before, just the strictures against doing it.
Ok, so I was wrong. I still have this problem with slow performance due to all appearances having too many projects (earlier edited versions of segments of feature-length doc).
My only resort now appears to be to delete early project versions of segments (duplicates in prior versions of FCPX, snapshots now).

  • Remove/Replace rich media elements with PDF Library?

    I am embarking on a project and need to know if Adobe's PDF Library can accomplish the following...
    1. Using an existing PDF file as a "template", find existing elements within the document (a rectangle, perhaps)
        and remove that element, then insert in its place a rich media element (video, U3D file, JPEG, or text).
    2. If not (1), then can i create a new PDF file and insert text, video, JPEG, and especially U3D models?
    Thanks,

  • Where to find instructions to remove/replace motherboard iMac G5?

    Bad caps on mobo. I may be able to find another one, but first need step by step instructions to remove/ replace the mobo on 17", first or early generation. I've been looking around, but can't seem to find this. Can anyone, please, direct me to a site or page for this. Also, probably need to replace the power supply. Does anyone know where I might find one new, or at least competently refurbished, from a reputable dealer. Thanks.

    In our experience—despite the propensity of Apple to once replace both the power supply and logic board on the first generation of iMac G5 models affected by either issue, it is seldom the case that both are bad. In the ALS models, which are far less frequently affected by the defective capacitor issue, is is more often the case that both components must be refurbished or replaced.
    This company will refurbish your board and, if necessary, sell you a replacement power supply. The cost of refurbishing the board is $ 189.00 - the cost of replacing the power supply is $ 139.00, though in the relatively uncommon case that both are required, a discount is typically offered on the cost of the replacement power supply. They recommend that you not remove the logic board yourself, as they are easily damaged in the process because they are easily flexed.
    You can certainly take the approach recommended of attempting the repair yourself, but these services are offered with a one year warranty and no additional charges other than the cost of shipping your machine back once completed. There is no charge for diagnosis, and no charge if the machine is not repairable, or not in need of repair.

  • Replace layer media

    This is probably a simple question, but I have been trying to figure it out for a while and can't.
    I would like to simply replace the media in a layer with a different piece of media, without replacing it throughout the whole project by using replace footage in the project window.
    For example, if I have three layers doing different animations on the same photo, and then I decide that only one of those layers should have a different photo, how would I do that?
    thanks!

  • Removal of the Media is Off Line slide

    How do I remove the red slide that says "Media is off line." It is showing up at the beginning of my project and I have tried everything I know of to remove it. I have tried cutting it, removing the slides in front of it, etc. Please help as I do not want that to be at the beginning of my video. Thank you.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    The Media Offline display typically indicates that the original file has been disconnected from the project. When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals. And, those copies need to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location where they were when they were first imported into the project.
    When you open the project, do you get a "Where is the file.....?" message related to this file that is supposed to be at the beginning of the project's Timeline?
    What is the name of the file for which it is asking - the missing file name should be at the top of the message?
    Let us say that you click Skip All to the "Where is the file....?" messages and find yourself in the opened project with your colorful Media Offline slide.
    Are you saying that
    a. you cannot right click it on the Timeline and select delete to delete it?
    b. if you go to the project media area, can you right click its thumbnail there and select delete...that should delete it from the project media area
    as well as from the Timeline?
    Let us stop here so that we can get in sync on the basic details of your situation and then we can better decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View List & Icon Icons Gone

    Today at another forum that I frequent, a Premiere Elements 9 user was distressed because he could not find the List (Ctrl + Page Up) & Icon (Ctrl _ Page Down) icons that were found in the prior version of the Project Media View. The Icon view was particularly useful for sorting media before dragging to the Timeline or for the Create Slideshow feature. Now in Premiere Elements 9, all you have are your media in a list format with no option to sort.
    This person simultaneously posted his question at another forum for which he received a reply and a workaround  which included going into the Elements Organizer/Create/SlideShow Editor and create a slideshow that could be outputted (Edit in Premiere Elements) back into Premiere Elements 9. I would take issue with that suggested approach since I believe that there is an easier and quicker workaround to overcome the inconvenient loss of those features in Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View.
    First, the questions and then my workaround for this situation
    Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of this situation and intends to correct this oversight or intentional change in features?
    Has anyone come up with his/her favorite workaround for this matter?
    Bottom Line for my workaround: From Premiere Elements 9 workspace, go to Elements Organizer workspace and create a sorted album of the media brought into Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files & Folders. Then exist Elements Organizer, opening to Premiere Elements workspace where one uses Filter by: Select Album and does just that.
    I will post a step by step on my suggested workaround if requested.

    I was trying to be discreet and have us still remain friends, so I did not mention the responder at the other forum by name or place. You let the cat out of the bag. OK, no offense taken please, but I thought that your workaround "Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Edit With Premiere Elements" was "not so good" a choice. I will owe up to that.
    None of the workarounds are as good as the Adobe Icon View of prior version, but....
    Workaround 1. If your interest is getting sorted photos for using the Create Slideshow Feature in Project Media View. The secret is to put the photos in a Folder and then move the photos around in the Folder. I can go into the choreography on that if need be. Then highlight all the photos in the Folder, select Create Slideshow. Even if you do not go the Create Slideshow route, this is one way to get sorted photos for the Timeline.
    Workaround 2. If the Create Slideshow feature is not involved. Going the create Album route in Elements Organizer.
    Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files and Folders
    Add Media Dialog
    Select photos, Click Open
    Select Organizer in the row above the line of Organize/Edit/Disc Menus/Share to open the Elements Organizer.
    In the Elements Organizer, go to the Albums category and expand that category, then click on the green cross, and select New Album. On that right side of the Elements Organizer you will see a window with two tabs, Content and Sharing. Select Content and drag your media from the major window on the left to the Content window on the right. Name the album and click Done.
    You will then see your Album name listed in the Album’s category. Click the green icon to the left of the Album name. When you do, you will see thumbnails for your photos numbered sequentially in the major window on the left side of the Elements Organizer. Sort the photos there as you want them arranged on the Timeline.Then exit Elements Organizer via File Menu/Exit.
    The Premiere Elements Organize workspace will open. Go to the Filter by: Select Album and do just that, selecting the sorted album that you just created. Highlight the photos  and drag them to the Timeline.
    That is what I have come up with so far. I have been doing a lot of retesting of the principle to make sure that it would work more than just the first time.
    What do you think? Contribution or first class dud??
    ATR
    Just another possible variation on the thought with regard to Create Slideshow....it might merit thinking about numerically or alphabetically ordering your photos in a Folder beforehand and then bringing the Folder into Premiere Elements so that you have the Folder in Project Media View...Select All...Right Click Highlight....Create Slideshow?????

  • Remove from Project not showing

    I am trying to remove some duplicate controls from a project - more specifically a class.  Problem is the remove from project does not show up.  Anyone seen this?

    Hi rammer
    Is the protection for the class set to public?
    If you right-click on the class and select properties then you can see protection level. Also check that you have public permission under item settings for the individual items.
    Also can you remove the class from the project and try to add the class again to see if this changes the behavior?
    Regards

  • Scrapping Meter(SAP-ISU) post Removal/Replacement

    Kindly refer to the SAP-ISU implementation scenario below:
    A meter(serial number) is issued from stock against a work order(Mov type 261) ,which get physically installed at a site.The issue is done through the transaction MIGO.
    Now after a meter removal/replacement the old meter needs to go back into a "scrap" storage location,as these will be never re-used again.
    Would appreciate,if you can put forth your ideas on how to do this,in terms of movement type to be used,whether it can be done from the same transaction(viz Transaction for removal/replacement).
    Thanks in advance

    Just to understand your suggestion better,you are asking me to do a Goods Receipt of the serialised material, and then transfer post it into a designated scrap storage location,please confirm.
    If I do a GR using MIGO, what do I do the GR against ? Also how do I enter the required serial number/material combination.
    Thanks again.

  • Results Analysis for Projects

    Hi Guys,
    We use Results analysis for projects and also we use RA in Product Costing.
    Can anyone let me know what exactly does this Results Analysis mean ( not in SAP terms ).
    I am trying to look for this over help.sap.com and google but could not find information on what exactly this term means.
    Also how is this related to WIP?
    Please clarify.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth.

    Dear srikusap,
    Calculation WIP through the SAP, RA key will play important role.  Work in process calculation is diferent from industry to industry. 
    In SAP RA key will shows the WIP amount while u running KKAX Transaciton Code.  After when ever u do the settlement then ti will be settled to Financial Account.  At that time A Accounting Document was generaged.  when ever the Order Status is Teco then the provious period WIP will be reversed.
    Revert back if u any calrification.

  • How do i customize Location bar so it also brings up bookmark results where the title was manually changed by me?

    I added some bookmarks where I added more descriptive words to the title. Later when I type those descriptive words in the location bar the bookmarks don't show up. I even tried using the on-demand filtering command in location bar - meaning when you type "#" followed by words that you want firefox to match in the bookmark title, it will show up all the bookmark entries that have words matching in the bookmark title. That didn't work either! How do i customize Location bar so it also brings up bookmark results where the title was manually changed by me?

    Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Batch transcode project media?

    I've been cutting a project in native AVCHD (.MTS files shot on the Sony FS100), with the intention of conforming the media used in my finished sequences to DPX files for grading in Resolve Lite (Resolve 8 can't handle .MTS files natively). My question now is: how the heck to I get my sequences out of Premiere and into Resolve? I'm a little new to Premiere, so I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something obvious…
    In FCP7, it's a simple task to open up media manager and transcode the project media to a different format, omitting unused media and adding handles to the clips, if desired. Try as I might, I can't find a way to achieve this in Premiere.
    The only way I can see to get my edit into Resolve is to export the sequence as a single file and use Resolve's scene cut detector to split apart the shots. This is less than ideal for a number of reasons—I have to move all my video down into a single track and strip out all the transitions, for instance, and because the shots have no handles, cross-dissolves represent a logistical nightmare.
    Is there another way?

    Andrew.
    The only glitch in your workflow is the inability of Resolve to use .mts files natively.
    This adds to the complication of what can be a  reasonably normal NLE to external CC application (via an xml export of the project.).  You can use an intermediate if you choose.
    It is an issue for me  as well but I cover it by shooting to an external recorder simulateneously ( avch on the sd card and prores on the Samurai ssd)
    Speedgrade has addressed this and it will be great ( fingers crossed).
    Checkout the CS6 to Speedgrade workflow that has been posted up by Adobe.

  • Removing a Project

    Okay. Hope this is the right place for this. Nevertheless, I
    was pointed to the new release of Flex Beta. So I quickly
    downloaded it to see if there was any improvements. I think I found
    one! I created a project and then for some reason flex builder
    couldn't find my SDK. So I decided to delete the project and try
    again. BUt when this happen...Holy *poopie* it deleted my entire
    wwwroot. (Not stressed because I am running leopard(MacOSX) and I
    have everything backed up with my timemachine). I thought I would
    just test again. When you remove a project it doesn't specifically
    remove just that Project, It removes the entire directory. I have
    tested it twice! It also seems NOT to remove the project from the
    Navigator field. Hope this isn't serious for you guys.
    Jeremy

    Jeremy,
    Can you please file a bug at
    http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/
    and provide your steps and system config and we'll definitely look
    into it.
    Thanks,

  • Removing Events, Projects from Library manually

    Hi
    Has anyone removed either Events or Projects from the Library manually (deleting from package contents on drive)?
    Any reason there could be a problem?
    best
    elmer

    Ah, so you do have experience of what can go wrong. That's different. I just posted a discussion about my experiment.
    You say do it inside, I see no way to do that. Not without copying the project''s media along with the project. And that happens with external consolidation too right. If I consolidate an event (projects only) outside FCPX, it will copy the media used in those projects also. I don't want to copy the original clips that constitute the 40+minutes of the first half or the 45 minutes I've reached with more to do of the second half.
    The reason I would do it is that I'm having lots of twirling color ball and drop down windows saying projects that are unneeded are loading. Into the ram. I'm trying to figure out how to lessen the ram's load and it always seems to load old projects. Editing segments of a feature-length doc, I often experiment where I see a possible different route, and if I'm going to make more than a couple changes, or I'm not sure if I am, I duplicate the project and continue working. I don't think that's uncommon.
    In FCP and earlier versions of FCPX you could easily get past the problem by: in FCP, duplicating the project and deleting old sequences (you could always copy back in), or in earlier FCPX, removing specific event and project folders from Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders (you could always return).
    THANKS for taking the time to help, I very much appreciate it.
