File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure

I have been working with a project in Premiere Pro and it has been working fine until I tried exporting the project. When I export in transports to Media Encoder and exports for a while then stops and shows a yellow triangle with ! in center. The symbol then show up on the project file as well and reads "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name).avi. Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled."
How do i fix this/ export my project?

I have a similar issue and message , but occurs when I import AVI clips from OnLocation CS4 to Premier Pro CS4.

File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled.

I have duplicated a project to work on another computer. The project opens fine but when I import new footage/audio files I get this message. "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled." Then I can't play my timeline and Premier Pro crashes. I have to force quit and restart my computer to continue working. What does this error really mean? How do you rectify?
Our workflow requires that we duplicate projects to make updates because we are frequently revising but need to keep original project unchanged and intact.

Changed DivX codec - now all DivX files give 'file importer detected inconsistency ... '

Okay, so I've upgraded to DivX 7 - or so I thought (still says 6.8.5), long story short, NONE of my previously input DivX encoded avis work in Premiere anymore (Pro CS4). I get a message "File importer detected an inconsistency in th efile structure of ...avi. Reading and writing of the file's metadata (XMP has been disabled."
They work in external media players, but anything in Premiere seems broken. I've spent WEEKS on this movie and haven't the slightest clue how to fix it. I feel like vomitting because this is for work and I can't figure this out.
I'm desperate, PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for the answers. I did a system restore to before I changed the DivX stuff and it seems to work again.
But I hate editing these files. I think I will take up the advice to convert and replace. But question - when I replace the files in the 'Project area', will it replace all of the pieces connected to that with the correct timing in the timeline?
I would think it would, but I just want to check.
Yes; If you replace the clip in the project panel; it will replace it every palce it was used on the timeline in any sequence.
If you rwplace the clip ON the timeline, it only replaces that clip.

Import Server not picking up the file

Hello,
I have 2 repositories running on the same server. Import server picks up file for one repository, but not for the other. What could be the reason? Also, for the repository, import server not picking up the file, workflow also does not send an email notification.
Please help
Subhash

Hi Subhash,
Hope you are not using the same Import Server for both the MDM Servers. If yes then you need to mention the MDM Sevrer name in the MDM Server parameter of MDIS.ini. Check the parameter list of MDIS.ini file.
If your repository has password for Admin user then you need to specify the same in MDIS.ini file under your repository section for User = Admin and Passowrd = [Admin password]. Remove the E from the PAsswordE and give the password for Admin user. Once done restart the Import Server and check again, parameter Password would have converted to PasswordE.
For Email Notification two things you need to check:
1. You should have specified the mail server address in MDS.ini file under your repository section for parameter Mail Server.
2. Workflow owner should have entry in Email address field of the user. Check this in Console under Admin -> Users.

"File Import Failure Unsupported format or damaged file" in CS6 but fine in CS5.5

Hello All.
Recording in Pal DV AVI from Sony Z5U with MRC1K compact flash recorder.
Imported files to computer using the Sony utility, and also tried dragging and dropping.
Some files import to Premiere Pro CS6.03, but others give "File Import Failure: Unsupported format or damaged file,".
The files that do import show up as 4:3 and I have to modify / interpret footage to get them to show as 16:9,
However, these same files play back just fine in Windows Media Player.
Intriguingly these files import just fine to Premiere Pro CS5.5, and also show up correctly as 16:9.
I can't figure out why some files import into CS6 and others don't....
Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
(Normally I record in HDV and I've never had problems importing from MRC1K into Premiere, but the client specifically requested DV files for their ease of editing...)
Cheers
Mark
PS When I use the DV recoverer utility on these files they import just fine into CS6....

Hi Jim,
OK, here's the video that imports OK into CS6.03 but that Premiere CS6.03 sees as 4:3:
And here's the one that won't import into CS6.03 but is happily opened by CS5.5 and correctly seen as 16:9:
Can you spot the difference? Thanks for having a look at this.
Cheers
Mark

Please help me understand why i am getting this?

Hi,
We can do as follows:
1. Mark sure the page URL is correct.
2. Check whether current user has permission to access the page.
3. Use SPServices to get web part properties.

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

Thanks. I will try going through TM. Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive. Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means. It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility. Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it. Will look into

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

@Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
A final resort to bring down file size is:
1. Print to PostScript
2. Distill to PDF
That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

File Adapter gets error while deleting the file

Hi,
We are running on PI 7.0 SP6. I built a simple integration scenario where a file is picked up from a certain directory on the server (PI server itself) and get processed according to some mapping rules and again put to an other directory. I used the file adapter for picking and putting the file with 2 different communication channels.
My integration works fine. File is picked up processed and put into its new location.
But the file adapter cannot work in archiving or deletion mode. So the file (to be picked up by PI) remains in its original location.
I am getting the following error:
Applications/ExchangeInfrastructure/AdapterFramework/Services/ADAPTER/ADMIN/File##com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI.deleteFile(FileHandle)#J2EE_GUEST#0####18a971f3338011dbcde800145e69a8d4#XI AF File2XI[:EBI:File_from_EBI_to_EXS]##0#0#Error#1#com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI#Java###Deleting of file failed - cannot proceed#1#E:

Hi,
These are a few things you can do:
Check the permissions of the folder where the file is being Placed. (it will mostly have only read permission, this is what i could understand from your explanation)
If you are doing Content conversion, please can you just remove it and see if the XML file is getting generated.
Also, please check if it's picked up by any other application when you place it on the server.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

Hi,
Check the file path & file name , Check the processing mode parameter which you have set?
Check the folder properties & provide all the permission ...
Finally check the communication channel status in RWB, If the problem persist try to stop & start the communication channel again..
Hope it helps...

I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop.

Hello
1. I am running on Windows 8.1
2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
RF still not there.
3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
Weird.
4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.
