Files goes offline if I import them in AfterEffects

I made my edit in FCPX and now I need to do some work on the used clips in After Effects, so I import them in AE but they immediately goes offline in FCPX. Why ?
What is the correct procedure to edit files in the timeline with an external editor ?
Thanks

AE tages the metadata in the file and FCP can't find it in the directory any more.
Depends on the external editor. You can't with AE.

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

  • Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

  • I am switching from XP to windows 7 at the same time you have changed firefox and my bookmarks are in a .json file. How do I import them?

    I have a new computer. The old firefox made backups with .json files but I don't see how to import them. I've got one for bookmarks from 5-11.

    To import a JSON backup into Firefox 4 on Windows 7.
    First, open the bookmarks organizer ("Library") using
    orange Firefox button > Bookmarks ''or''<br>
    Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks ''or''<br>
    Ctrl+Shift+b
    On the menu bar (has a grayed out back and forward button on the left side), the third menu should be Import & Backup. Some people don't see the words, just the icon, which looks like a star with some green arrows forming a circle.
    From that menu Restore > Choose File, and navigate to your JSON file.
    Any luck?

  • My Vostro is trashed. I salvaged the hard drive and have it in a cage. I was able to save my bookmarks as an HTML file. How can I import them into a new computer? I asked a similar question yesterday and the solution did not work.

    I have the original hard drive in a cage (i.e., I can not boot to it or load applications from it). I can access any file on the old drive from the new computer. I have also saved the bookmark file as an html file. I was given a solution to import from the html file that does not work.
    How can I get my old bookmarks moved to my nes hard drive?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • Bridge is opening all of my RAW files as jpegs when I import them from iPhoto

    I have set my iPhoto preferences to send my RAW photos as RAW when using an external editor. If I only use ACR, this works fine, but if I want to use CS4 they are all coming over as jpegs and I then have to work w them as jpegs. I have PSE 8 . Do I have to do something before I open CS4 to have them come over in RAW format?

    Not Very familiar with iPhoto but I think you do confuse two approaches for
    your files. If you choose to work from iPhoto it takes the originals but
    when using Bridge it might be an exported version in jpeg.
    If you have PSE 8 with Bridge CS4 I would suggest you make a choice in
    workflow and use Bridge as starting point. You can import your Raw files in
    Bridge using Photodownloader (get photo's from Camera in Bridge) preferable
    use a card reader for this.
    And/or copy the older original Raw files to a new folder.
    You can find the originals that have been imported using iPhoto in the
    picture folder/iphoto library. Click on the icon and with right mouse click
    choose show package content. In this new window you will see a file called
    originals with subfolders. Inhere find the ones you want and copy them to a
    new folder from your choice (either in the picture folder or elsewhere, but
    obvious not in the package window for iPhoto, you won't see them after you
    closed the package content window...)
    Choose copy because in this way your iPhoto library and folder structure
    stays as it is.
    Now point Bridge to the folder with this copied files and let it cache the
    files first (takes some time).
    With this workflow you can manage your Raw files (rate, rename, adding
    metadata and keywords etc.) and develop them in ACR and PSE. If you do want
    to use the album structure from iPhoto you can choose to save your developed
    files either as jpeg or tiff and place them in iPhoto.
    It might be a better workaround because iPhoto is not the best application
    to handle and develop Raw files, you have a lot more options in Bridge and
    PSE

  • Render files going offline

    Hi Everybody,
    I am using Final Cut Pro 7 and each time I open the project Render Files show as offline and no matter how much I try I cannot reconnect them, cannot find them.
    I have the main folder for the project and I am the only editor using this computer yet it happens every time. I read couple of discussions but nothing helped I still have to render every day I open the project.
    I am working on two projects at the same time, but each projects has its own folder and I reset the scratch disk. Even when I work on the same project for a week it happens the same.
    If you have any tips please let me know.
    Thanks a lot,
    Blerta

    First, it's always been impossible in my experience to reconnect render files.  Just the way it is.
    People report offline render files every once in a while here so you might do some searching to see if there's a solution. 
    Make sure the drive with the renders is on the desktop BEFORE you launch fcp and the project.  Are all your drives formatted macosextended?  Do you have a minimum of 10% free space on all drives (and 20% on your startup drive)?  You might try launching a recent autosave of the project to see if that makes any difference.  Are any of your drives connected via a network?  Probably not a good idea.  Try and render to a local drive. 
    Have you tried deleting your fcp preferences?

    I'd do some basic maintainence and troubleshooting steps

  • Why are files going offline when exporting from premiere

    Hi all
    I've got a feature length documentary of 2 hours. All files are online but upon exporting from premiere via media encoder the finished file has 'media offline' on some shots. I have NO idea why this is happening. All clips are online on the timeline.
    I'm exporting both blu-ray mpeg and dvd mpeg. The project is on an external hard drive. Can anyone help this is a nightmare!?
    Will exporting via premiere pro direct fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
    Nope.  Looks fine when I watch it.

  • "render.mov" file goes offline when roundtripping between FCP & STP

    Hi there
    I'm having an issue roundtripping between Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I have some clips which need to be de-noised, so I right click and select "Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project", do the de-noising with no issue, then save the file and return to Final Cut - your standard roundtripping experience.
    However, when Final Cut Pro updates the file in the timeline, it brings up a file offline warning, stating that "~/file.stap:render.mov" is missing. I attempt to reconnect the file by opening the .stap package and creating a duplicate of the render.mov file in there, and reconnecting that, however that brings up the error "The file does not have enough audio tracks to reconnect to "file.stap" at time [time] in sequence [sequence]", and the file remains unconnected and silent in the timeline.
    I am selecting the "include source audio" option when saving out of STP. It is also worth noting that I have managed to get this to work once this morning, but not since then. It was also not doing it last week, so I'm not sure what I did differently with that first file this morning.
    Any help?
    Cheers!

    Hi there
    Sorry to take so long to come back to this but this project had to spend a little bit of time on the backburner whilst I worked on some other projects.
    Thanks for your reply Robert, however saving the STP project as a different .stap file and then attempting to reconnect to it brings out the same error.
    This is the error window I get:
    !http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4086/picture19r.png!
    I've found that exporting the file as an AIFF and reconnecting to that seems to do the trick, however it is a bit of a roundabout way of doing things when you consider the way I'm trying to do it is the way I should be doing it, and a way that used to work. It's also a pain when you consider I have perhaps dozens of audio artifacts that need some form of audio post in Soundtrack Pro for this project alone.

  • Data files are offline / tablespace offline

    I am confused on the concept of data file offline.
    What happened when you take data file offline?
    Is data file offline because of disk damage? we see the error that data file is haning a problem, we have manually to take data file offline? how?
    Why is tablespace offline but data file is still online?
    Please help!
    Thanks
    S.

    What happened when you take data file offline?The offline datafile means simply that the file is not available anymore for the access. All the objects for the offline file become inaccessible for the users to access.
    Is data file offline because of disk damage? we see the error that data file is haning a problem, we have manually to take data file offline? how?Yes it can happen that the data file goes offline because of any kind of damage either over the disk, or also with the file itself. For example, there may be a chance that the file is not available anymore , may be because someone has deletedthe file. So most of the times, Oracle would offline the file by itself. In any case, if the file doesn't go offline by itself than you need to take it offline yourself as the recovery for the file can't happen if its online. You would get the error messages that oracle can't acquire the exclusive access over the file.
    Why is tablespace offline but data file is still online?Not sure that I did see this ever myself. Tablespace is nothing but the container for the datafile so if there is a file of it which is offline and that's the only file in the tablespace, the tablespace can't stay as online. Show us an output for the same.
    The links given by Anantha are must for you to read the cocept of offlining a tablespace. Make sure you read them for sure.

  • FCE,WD MyBook 1T USB External Drive, Media going offline

    Hey Everyone:
    I am having a problem with the above combination which I am using on White MB (the last version before the newest version). Each time I go back into the FCE file there seems to be files going offline and then having difficulty reconnecting.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Although USB 2.0 HDs are not officially supported, in my experience (and that of many friends) they work perfectly.
    In any case, should they cause any problem at all, it would likely be in connection with some form of erratic video playback and not simple file recognition.
    So I strongly suspect there is some other factor involved.
    You don't say anything about the video format or your version of FCE . . . . . FCE 4 only works with DV and HDV TAPE cameras together with AVCHD ones.
    You mention nothing about your method of working or whether this is a new problem or it has never worked.
    In addition to providing us with more info take a look here:-
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303874
    Incidentally, are you moving or renaming the original captured video, music or photos? Any movement or renaming of the original media files or anything connected with them will result in an offline event.

  • Mail keeps going offline on MobileMe and my ISP's POP

    Hi,
    Just in the past 2 days my accounts keep going offline, If I bring them back online they instantly go offline again.
    I opened the connection doctor and it says I am connected to the internet however in the details below it says it could not connect to his mobileme imap server or my 3 other pop servers.
    I can get mail on my iPhone using the same Internet connection as my Mac.
    This happens with wired and wireless connection.
    A fix which works for 30 minutes or so is to disable all of my accounts in preferences and then save and then press enable again.
    I spoke to Apple Care and they weren't much help.
    Is there any other suggestions anybody can suggest? I am thinking of creating a temp account and importing my MBox's I don't know if this is a good idea though.
    My MobileMe account is sitting at 670mb and all of my pop mail gets deleted and goes to 0mb as I run rules to transfer it to my MobileMe folders.
    Please help!!

    I have a similar though not identical issue with Mail - I have Comcast and Mail goes offline constantly - I reboot - reenter the port #'s and it may or may cure it - I sometimes wait and it fixes itself - When I go to Comcast web mail it's all there. It's just the Mail application - it's not a Comcast issue -
    I will also receive prompts saying that the pop a/c is asking for a different port # than I've been told to use 110 for incoming and 587 for outgoing - no ssl checked - sometimes it almost seems like the numbers change on their own - I doubt that is happening and nobody will cooberate that but still it goes offline constantly - very frusrating - I am sure it has to do with Apple's security precautions in Mail -

  • I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    Hard Drive:  The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
    Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
    Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
    If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
    What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
    BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
    Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

  • Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

    Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

    It goes into a Originals or Masters folder inside the iPhoto Library "package" which is really a folder designed not to look like one so people don't open it up and mess with it's insides.
    Normally you can manage your photo's in iPhoto and export copies from there, but in emergency or bulk copy cases you might have to access the iPhoto Library directly and copy from there instead.
    To open this iPhoto Library "package", right or control click on it and "Show package contents"
    Be sure to only duplicate and move original files out and don't mess around there as it will them mess up your iPhoto Library.

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there
