Getting "Media Offline" After Archived Project to HDD to Another Computer

Hello,
How do you avoid getting media offline when transferring a project to another computer's C drive?
I use PrE9 and decided to transfer my project to another computer for performance purposes. I archived the project (copy, not trim) to an external hard drive first, making sure to synchronize the drive letters of the HDD in both old/new computers beforehand. Working from the external drive is fine -- no media offline issues -- but I wanted to transfer the archived project to my new computer's C drive. After doing so, the project is now riddled with media offline messages. I'd rather not deal with the clips individually as there are too many.
What step(s) am I missing? I'm sure it's easy, but this amateur has a lot to learn.

Well, when one changes the drive letter (or any part of the Absolute Path) with linked media, the first time that the Project has been Opened, those links will be broken. PrE should give you the dialog screen, asking "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into much more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=0

Media offline after sending back from color

Ok. I have searched around and not finding anything offhand, but I have not changed any default settings but I am getting media offline when I import back to FCP. I can find the location of the files and all but its giving me a hard time bringing media online.

I dragged and drop the file that came back from color.
Dragged and dropped? There is nothing to drag and drop. You SEND TO FCP from Color, then in FCP a new sequence shows up. Double click on that.
But I might be getting into semantics...you might be doing that but not explaining it well.
Trash your FCP prefs...

If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

My iPod just randomly deleted all my music, but I no longer have the computer where I synced it to. Can I still get my purchased tracks if I download iTunes on another computer?

If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownlaod some itunes content in some countries:

Media Offline after Rendering

Been having an issue with multiple computers using Creative Cloud. After rendering the project all the media goes offline. I have to restart Premiere to get media back.
Any thoughts?

Hi Jonathon_H,
Thanks for all the information.
As you mentioned that it is not happening after the update but in case if it happens again, try to clean the media cache files which are situated on the below location:
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache" and "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files".
Please update if all goes well.
Happy Editing!!

"media offline" at every project start

Hello,
I have a problem with the "media offline" note.
At every start of a project in adobe premiere elements, a number of media files were not loaded correctly ("media offline"). Most of the media files (video clips) are succesfully connected by premiere elements, but some not.
I did not change the directory of the files or the project. The media cache is in the same directory as the project.
Also, it doesn't matter if I re-connect the video files. At the next start of the project, there will be some media offline again (not always the same files!).
Thanks for help,
Klaus.

Klaus,
One workflow, that might be helpful to you, is how I handle my Still Images and Video files:
I first archive my files to my NAS unit, for secure storage, using a folder structure that makes sense for me. That might be by date created, or by subject matter.
Then, when I go to create a Video Project, I create a sub-folder structure, below the "root folder," for that Project, say, E:\[Project Name]\Still Images, then Video, then Graphics, etc.. For the Video, I then Copy over the necessary files, for that Project, and then Import those from there. I still have the originals on my NAS, for safe keeping, and use in other Projects.

Error code 6 & media offline & after effect warning errors.

Increasingly I am getting the attached error messages when I try to open files. (mostly .psd and .ind files)
1.) It often says I don’t have permission to open the file, it is not the right type of file, or the file doesn’t exist... none of which are true.
The files always work if I copy them locally and open them from my harddrive.
2.) "media offline" error.
3.) after effects warning error.
Help needed. Thx.

Hi Saif,
You might get several issues, if you are directly opening files from the server or a network location, to your machine and editing them. You might also get issue while saving then to the server. I think your issue is one of them.
This is because, several thing comes into picture while you are opening, editing, saving files over the network. You may face some network issues, firewall issues and mostly permissions issues.
So, adobe always recommends to save the file locally on the machine first and then perform editting and saving operations. once you are done, you can copy it to the network.
Check the below article just for reference.

Media Offline after Crash

After an unespected quit some clips appeared offline.
If I clic "reveal in finder" the clip is there and opens fine in the QT player.
FCPX clip info says that the file was modified and asks me to connect the drive with the original file.
The worst thing is that the event for that clip was not in use nor the project containing the clip. So FCPX crashed and then I got a corrupted something that is not related in any way with the event and project I was working on. Bizarrous!

I dragged and drop the file that came back from color.

How do I get my pictures from archived project back into iphoto?

I trashed a few events from my current iphoto library to create some hard drive disk space. I thought they were backed up on another drive (that is all except one event with pics and movies in it). I have an archived dvd project with the pictures in it. How can I get the pics and movies from the archived project in iDVD into the current library of iPhoto?

Control-click on the iDVD archived project package and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Then go to the Contents/Resources/stills folder. See if your photo files are in there. Any movies or music files should be in the Contents/Resources/av folder.

If you have created other projects and they are working fine? Standard application should work without any modifications, so you may like to revert all the changes(before they cause further problem).
Well you may like to clean up your directory , unless you have loads of application checked out.. Remove all applications from this particular Track, ensure that everytime you delete project from Studio , select to remove code from directory.
This is likely that you are working on applications from two tracks, where version of FPM component is not the same. I always prefer to work one at a time, and i remove other track if i am done with application(This is lame way of handling it, but i prefer this.. saves loads of time to clean/repair)
Also hope you are using compatible version of Studio.

Media offline after log and capture HELP!!!!

hi,
i am capturing media from my camera from dv tape into FCP,
i log and capture the footage and all seems fine, i've done this hundreds of times before.
today however when i log and capture the file comes up as media offline (file logo with red line through it) in the browser window, i need to get this file done asap!! HELP!!
Message was edited by: Modern Video

i have a deck and i've tried coming from the deck, but its giving me fallout due to deck issues i have, so i'm coming from the camera. when i log and cap i get the file with the red line.
when i try to reconnect it to a file all i have in the capture scratch folder is the bad file from the deck.
so i cant reconnect the media from what i have captured already.
so essentially my problem is that from my camera, i log and capture and get a file that does not go into capture scratch and yet still comes up as an unconnected media file in the browser!!??

Saving project to put on another computer

My macbook pro does not want to burn a DVD. How can I export/save to a folder/external drive so I can burn on another computer my project?

Thanks for getting submitting some suggestions. I did a build to hard drive as an .img file. copied to other computer (MacPro) running leopard. I put a new DVD disk and copied the two folders to DVD disk and did a burn. It finished but when I insert disk it open DVD player but does not start. When I press start it comes up with "Support disk not available" The project in DVDsp had a file that automatically started. I tested it and it worked.
I can start it by telling DVD player to open media, go to TS folder and select choose. What about if I use a stand alone DVD player connect to TV? How do I get to auto-start?

Google for java.library.path and find out how to use/set it to locate native libraries.
And here I'm hoping that you're not writing yet another spam bot. If you are in fact writing a spam bot: burn in heck.

HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year. Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one. How can I correct this?

Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted. I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad. How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

Media Offline After Restarting

I rebooted my computer and when I came back to my PremierePro project the Media was offline. The video appears in the viewer as "Media Pending", but it never loads in. In the project assets window, there is a question mark icon next to each media clip.
I didn't move the source files, nor delete them. It appears PremierePro has lost reference to them, that the index file is broken. I made a New project and the media load just fine and I can edit them.
How do I fix this? I need the edits in this project file, it will take me a long time to re-edit them if I can't get them to load in the original file.
Help me ObiWan, you're my only hope!

As I edit, I will do a Save_As, along the way, incrementing my Project's name, with say the addition of "001," "002," etc.. At the end of the day, I then do a Save_As_a_Copy, as Jim suggests. That is my "fail-safe," incase things go wrong.
The difference between the two is basically what happens with that Saved Project. Save_As, will do just that, and with an incremented, or changed name, and then keep THAT Project Open. Save_As_a_Copy will do a Copy, where you direct the program to write it, with any name that you choose, but will NOT keep that Copy Open.
This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837
I use a combo of Save, Save_As and Save_As_a_Copy, at different stages in my editing, plus also keep the AutoSaves, just in case. With Save_As and Save_As_a_Copy, there will be a new set of AutoSaves created in the folder structure of the "new" Saved Projects. Those can be handy, just in case something goes terribly wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt
