FCE media offline changes with each click

Alright.  This is an extra weird one.
Anyone have an explanation for this?  (video:  http://instagram.com/p/uqOE5cgAkn/?modal=true )  (my apologies for instagram but it was the easiest)
The fun begins when some of those clips ARE actually offline (and not working in the timeline) but most of them are?  Any suggestions?

If so, what are the advantages of:
DVD -> Streamclip -> FCE -> Streamclip -> Web via Flash
over:
DVD -> Handbrake -> iMovie -> FCE -> iMovie -> Web via Flash
Anything other than one less step, and not having to deal with iMovie clunkiness?
Generally when working with digital video, it is the case that the less steps you take to get your video from the source to your final creation the better. Every time you use a program such as Streamclip or Handbrake to convert your media, you are losing a little bit of quality doing so. Secondly, Handbrake should really never be used as a conversion program to prepare your video for editing. It is meant to convert to delivery codecs such as MPEG-4 and not to prepare the video for more editing. Ideally, the best editing process for your workflow would be:
DVD -> VOB files to Streamclip -> converted files to FCE -> use Quicktime Conversion to make a web friendly video -> Web.
Anyway, glad the crisis was averted and you're getting used to the new OS/program! I wish you luck with all future projects, and if you need more help we'd be happy to offer assistance.

  • Accept all editions and changes with one click in a PDF document

    In Adobe Acrobat (7.09) I see how to accept changes in a PDF document individually, but is is possible to accept all editions and changes with one click, as it is in Word for example. For tips thanks in advance.

  • FCE media offline but not reconnecting

    edit 2:  Alright, so if I select and highlight each individual clip on the timeline itself it allows me to reconnect the media.  I would still like to know if there's a solution though because I have a lot of clips and having to reconnect media for each individual clip is incredibly frustrating when I know FCE is capable of doing this in batches.  So... any help would be wonderful. 
    Original post:
    Hi!  I've been working on this video project for a while.  I tend to prefer Premeire or Final Cut Pro but my workplace only has Final Cut Express.
    I needed to log out and log in a different user since I was going out of town and when I logged back in because some of the files were on a share drive, I had to reconnect media.  Which is fine - I've done it before, no problem.  I got the media reconnected, re-rendered and then looked down at my timeline and realized that there were clips that hadn't connected.
    Here's where it gets weird though. Everything looks connected in the Bins.  I found all the files, connected everything.  FCE has greyed out the reconnect media button.  I can't connect anything else.
    And yet as you can see below, despite the media being there, I am still getting the media offline message.
    Does anyone have a solution to what's going on here.  I'm completely baffled and I've never had anything like this occur before.
    I'm running FCE version 4.0.1 on OS X 10.6.8
    edit to add:  The three other videos that I've been working on simultaneously did not have this problem.  I still had to reconnect media but this is the only video that's doing this.
    Thanks for all your help!  If you need additional details just let me know.
    -Stephanie
    Here are is a larger image of what's going on.

    I figured out what has happened.  The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3.  The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec.  For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
    The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough.  I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
    Thanks for your time.
    Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there.  What's with Premiere Pro?  Irritating.

  • New update of Firefox, now my home page keeps changing with each new session. What's the fix?

    After Firefox performed an automatic upgrade, my home page and "Restore to Default" setting changed. I can input the correct URL and save and that works fine during that session. But when the browser is closed and brought back up again, it reverts to this different home page (my companies intranet page). I've tried changing the "home page default" setting in the browserconfig.properties file and did a find and replace of the wrong URL in the "pref.js" files. But it keeps going back to the wrong address each time a new browser session is started. This all happened after an automatic upgrade was done to bring Firefox to version 3.6.8.
    This has happened on both of my work computers that run Windows XP - SP 3, IE 7.0.573 and Symantec Antivirus. So I'd think the chances of both computers being hit by the exact some problem, at the exact same time, changing the home page to the exact same URL and neither of the computers' antivirus protection catching it are rather slim. But I suppose that's a possibility. However, since this happened immediately following the browser upgrade, I have to think that this new installation has something to do with it.
    Any suggestions?

    Did you look for a '''user.js''' file in your Profile folder?
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
    Prefs in that file will override the same pref in the prefs.js file on each Firefox startup.
    Have you contacted your IT department about that issue?
    Maybe they are overriding your homepage setting?

  • Lsdaq reporting name changes with each reboot on OS X Tiger

    I am using the PCI-6713 and PCI-6251, and I have recently ported a
    DAQmx program on Windows to a DAQmx Base program on Mac OSX Tiger.
      The problem that is killing me is that on reboot the the cards
    change their device names on reboot.  For example, sometimes when
    I reboot the computer 6713 is Dev1 and 6251 is Dev2 but other times
    6251 is Dev1 and 6713 os Dev2.  Has anyone else experienced this
    problem?  Can it be fixed or is it something I have to work around?
    Brandon

    Brandon,
    Thanks for contacting National Instruments.
    I was not able to replicate this issue on a MAC OSX Tiger. I installed the PCI-6713 and PCI-6251 on the MAC and rebooted it a number of time. The device name stayed the same for the two boards. The driver that I was running on was DAQmx Base 1.5.
    What version of the DAQmx Base driver are you running? Do you see the same issue on another MAC system? Are there other boards on the remaining PCI slots and are they being removed at any time?
    Thanks,

  • How do I change stills with each menu item selected?

    Hi all.
    I am trying to create a menu (with 10 items) which contains one single dropzone box, which will contain a still that changes with each menu item selected (instead of 10 different stills next to each item).
    I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this! Do I create a different menu for each item? Is there a way to have a slideshow within the menu that changes with each item selected?
    Please help!
    Many thanks
    James

    THe way to do what you want to do is layered menus which have some limits
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/layersover.php
    What you would do is change the item that appears in the same section - in other words there would be ten layers with a diffrerent picture in the same exact spot, the rectangle buttons sections do not need to be over the picture section
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/Layers_Example.dmg is a project that does changing images.

  • I want a fresh load with each reload not a page from history i need my changes to show up each time i load a page

    I am a web designer and need to be able to reload the entire page fresh each time i make a change so i can test things i just changed on the website how do ni make this happen this was not an issue in the past but now the banners on the site stay the same and they should change with each reload

    If you hold the Shift key when you reload (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+r) then Firefox should disregard cached files and re-request everything.
    Are you changing the banner URL to prevent use of a cached banner?

  • A New Thread With Each Mouse Click

    Dear Java Programmers,
    The following code gives a bouncing ball inside of a panel. With each click, I need to have a different ball added and the previous ball to keep on bouncing. This part is a larger question of multitreading. When I have an action listener for mouse clicks, and I need to have a new thread with each click, how do I do this and where do I put it?

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Thumbnails are all reading Media offline - and they all play fine

    Hello all,
    My firewire 800 drive dismounted when I attached an additional firewire drive onto the chain. As a result Final Cut froze. I had to to do a hard reboot because my entire machine froze up.
    I finally restarted Final Cut and when I did, my thumbnails images which IU was ussing to select my B-roll showed the red Media Offline Icon for each piece of media.
    The footage is on the drive and plays fine. I cannot proceed with my project if I those Icons are unavailable
    Thank you,

    After you follow Shane's suggestion, write yourself a big note and attach it to all your firewire drives. It should say -
    "Do I feel lucky today? If not, shut down the computer before plugging and unplugging drives."
    Yes, the specification for firewire suggests it should be hot swapable, but the reality of daily use, loose connectors, old or variable power supplies, and so on, can wreck havoc. Fried firewire ports, corrupted systems, scrambled data, and bad hair are only a few of the horrors that await you if you continue down this path.

  • Premiere CC - media offline when working with AE comps

    I am working with Premiere CC and using After Effects CC comps for some Keylight 1.2  keying within the project - AE comps created in Premiere via "right click" on clip saying "superseded by AE comp".
    The After Effects project incl. all the comps and Premiere project saved locally - same location, local.
    Till now editing (P) & keying (AE) worked without any huge problems - due to using 4k material I had some play-back problems - not worth mention it though.
    POSSIBLE REASON? When it started:
    With both open - AE and Premiere project - I worked on the key in the AE comps. When finishing the keying I saved the changes - what normally works finw without asking me WHERE to save it.
    Now AE asked me where I would like to save the project although it should have a location already - as I saved it before locally.
    So I saved it with the same name and same location - overwriting the "old" project. That was when the problem occured...
    PROBLEM:
    Now the Premiere project can not find/link the AE comps / project. Saying: Media Offline.
    Although it displays the right path in the Premiere project window!
    TRIED THIS:
    In Premiere I tried to "Link to media". Which will work for any three of the 20 AE comps!
    At the 3rd or 4th one I try to link (automatically doesn't work here for some reason?) Premiere either hangs after a while or "changes mind" and finds no links anymore - even those I relinked just minutes before will have no connection anymore - again "offline"!
    Nonetheless, the After Effects project works fine. No problems here (project has neither a long name nor blanks).
    Any ideas what could be wrong? How can I relink the comps? I am really clueless.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Mylenium basically answered your question: quit both applications, manually clean Media Cache Database, restart PrPro and let it rebuild Media Cache Database (reconform files). Other than that provide information about your disk setup. Since AE wanted to know where to save project file, it might for some reason lost connection...

  • Some images in timeline are white, with "media offline" message in canvas

    I am making a short movie of images taken on my Canon powershot S5 camera. I am importing photos and movie clips from this digital still camera. They appeared correctly on the timeline at first. I rendered them and they played fine on the canvas. Then after saving project and opening later, some of the images appeared white with the "media offline" message in the canvas. I tried locating a few of them and reconnecting which solved the problem. However, strange things are happening: when I click on the white images they turn black but still play OK. Also some of the pale blue images have the "media offline" message, others do not, or the same sequence in an earlier saved version plays with no problem.
    If I burn a DVD of this movie (so far incomplete) will it look OK if all appears well in the canvas, regardless of the colour of the clips in the timeline, or should I take some action first to "clean up' the timeline before proceeding? In other words, is the image in the canvas a true representation of how the final project will look?
    I would appreciate some advice please as I am a bit confused by this. Thank you. Keith

    JPEG photos don't need converting.
    In FCE simply select File>Import and navigate to your photos.
    Have you trashed your Thumbnail Cache folder yet as that will probably cure it?
    They can be in a couple of places. By default FCE puts one lot in User>Documents>Final Cut Express Documents.
    If you have specified an external scratch disk they will also be there, so look in FCE>System Settings>Scratch Disks to find out where you put them.
    Once trashed, on relaunching FCE new ones are created.
