Found Fix for "Media Pending" with MPEG Videos (after 4 years)

This is for Premiere CS3.
Very often, if you make any changes to your system, or move files around, Premiere can lose track of the database that keeps track of MPEG2 video clips. The result is a persistent Media Pending display instead of your video. Cleaning the Media Cache doesn't fix it. Deleting all the temp folder media cache doesn't either. Here's what I found that works:
Go into this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\MediaIO\Cache
The <User Name> will be your login name of the Windows account.
Delete all the files that are in this folder.
Restart Premiere and watch it re index your video and your video reapear again.
Took me FOUR YEARS to discover this one on my own!

  • Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

    From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem.  That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades.  So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable.  Enough with my complaints...
    Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO?  I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it.  More can be read on it at:
    http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
    Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system?  I have two video cards, the article says to remove one.  Has this worked for anyone?  Can I use dual screens with the one video card.  Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix.  For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it. 

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

  • Media pending with Encore CS6

    Hello,
    I have a very large project built with Premiere Pro CC.
    The project has 5 "sequences" which are "rendered" before export to Media Encoder CC.
    The "transcode" (max quality) runs very well but is very slow (Media Encoder does not use GPU even the "Playback Mercury Engine" is activated), this is worst without Playback Mercury Engine.
    The transcoded files are imported within Encore CS6 (no dynamic link between Encore CS6 ane PP CC and no Encore CC version, Adobe decided this but with very bad reasons).
    The Encore project has 5 "montages" and one "diffusion list", the menu has "animated" buttons and need to be rendered before creating the final disk (blu-ray).
    But when I try the menus before creating the blu-ray disk I obtain :
    - media pending message : the audio track is there but the video track appears lated and is not smooth,
    - the animated button of menus are very curious : some are correct but others flash in red or green.
    - the software Encore freeze with a white screen, then the job may be resume,
    - the "complete title" begins normally then the video disappears but not the audio, after 10 seconds the video appears but seems to be frozen.
    I checked the links of chapters and buttons, all works normally. The project checking give no error.
    I never encountered this with Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6 (dynamic link works).
    How can I fix this strange situation without discarding PP CC and migrate to FCPX ?

    Hello,
    Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.
    I shall try to answer you :
    - 1) OS :  Windows 7 64 bits Pro SP1, french,
                     Version : 6.1.7601.18247 (Win7RTM)
                     Framework.NET : 4.0.30319.18408 built by : FX451RTMGREL)
                     DirectX : 11.0,
                     OpenGL : 6.1.7600.16385 (Win7_rtm.090713-1255).
    - 2) Yes the media pending goes away but after a couple of minutes (one
    year ago I was using PP CS6 and Encore CS6, I never had this problem
    even with very long files),
    - 3) Yes my GPU driver is updated (Nvidia GeForce 332.21 dated 12/19/2014).
    I never had thiese problems with PP CS6 + Encore CS6 and my projects
    built with these PP ans Encore version were with the same structure and
    length (in PP CS6 : sequences up to 45 minutes, in Encore CS6 chapters
    up to the same time).
    The difference between are in my hardware :
    - the RAM was upgraded from 12 GB to 24 GB,
    - the CPU was overclocked from 3,2 GHz (default) to 3,88 GHz).
    - 4) I shall try up to the disk burn to check if the problem is just due
    to display of "animated buttons".
    I hope my answer will be usefull for you.
    Regards,
    Jacques Gourier.

    I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.
    thanks

    I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

    Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
    Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
    Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
    you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

    Question
    Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

    Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
    You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Registry fix for transcoding/importing fix Causes Media Pending Error

    There is a fix for the never ending importing problem in Encore CS3 mentioned in the FAQ section, but it creates another problem: It prevents motion menu templates from loading. I waited an hour for a menu template to load and finally cancelled it and saw that the menu buttons were there, but the background video was "Media Pending".
    Also, the registry fix causes all HDV projects in Premiere Pro CS3 to lose their video to "Media Pending" screens.
    This is not a useable fix.
    Is there a better solution that doesn't break all the .m2v importing?

    The .m2v importing isn't broken. The files have to be re-indexed, that is all.
    There are a lot of video files to be indexed in the Encore Library.

  • Error Message for "Media Pending" or "Media Offline"

    This is INCREDIBLY frustrating.
    It is my job at a church to produce broadcast-quality segments for our local tv stations for 28 minute slots. I am working with HD-quality videos, bumpers, audio files, etc. It takes my PC about 30 minutes to render each segment and I work with about 4 segments a week. Add that up, and it takes me two straight hours to render each finished product (not counting any edit work), all which have to be done in a day because we broadcast most of the stuff that happens on Sunday the following Tuesday.
    That said, I render the final product, after everything has been through quality-control, through encoder because of the FTP option. When I leave every Monday afternoon, I start the queue for the four segments, which, in turn, will spit out the product and FTP it to our server at the tv stations.
    But when I come in Tuesday morning and find that AME has rendered four USELESS videos because, instead of informing me when I started the queue there was something wrong with fetching the video files, it decided to render some stupid stock frame of either, "Media Pending" or "Media Offline" - which makes ABSOLUTLY NO sense, for when I open premiere or after effects, it renders quite fine through AME. You can't sit here and tell me that the rendering software requires the project to be open in Premiere or AE. That would be counter productive and impossible for anyone batch-rendering.
    Here is what I need: Just a simple, "Hello, there was something wrong with fetching all of the media files in your project (blank, blank, blank) - please check your project file."
    Thanks!

  • Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

    Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1?  I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response.  These problems have been occurring since the last update.  At times the iPad becomes unusable.  I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi, dannilee,
    I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
    To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
    1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
    2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
    3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
    Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
    Hope it is useful for you.

  • Fix for Mavericks compatibility with Lacie external drives yet?

    My last attempt to upgrade to Mavericks caused my 2 Lacie external drives to become unrecognisable to my mac. Update hung up too so I lost everything...luckily I had a third back up with CCC that saved me. Im just wondering if there is a fix for this now. I got no information or help from Lacie.

    Exactly the same here. Installed Mavericks and La Cie no longer shows in Finder and Time Machine reminds me that no back up has taken place. As an iMac newbie where do I go from here. In my Win PC days I always backed up to an external HD on a scheduled basis without this sort of problem.
