How do I reconnect missing media files?

I have imported an iMovie project but the links to the Media files are broken.  How do I recconect in FCPX

If you have the original media files you can do the following ...  Select a clip that has a missing media file from your timeline.  Control Click and choose Reveal in Event Browser.  The event the clip is in and the clip icon should appear in the event browser.  If you had previously selected only a section of the clip a yellow border will show the part of the clip you had used.  Be careful not to run your cursor over that clip so as not to change the yellow border.  Go to the File/Import ... File menu selection and point to the location of the original clip. Import the clip.  The icon in the event browser and the associated clip on your timeline should fill in with the clip you just imported.  If you had applied effects to the clip on the timeline they should still be there, and you can verify that by clicking on the timeline clip and looking at the Video tab under the Inspector window.  This method works well for me in generic cases ... not sure if you have a different iMovie-related issue coming into play.  Best wishes.

  • Missing Media files And How To replace them

    I have moved a number of media files in the Motion project I'm working on. These media Files have simply been moved into another directory. I need to relink them up with the files but when I try and go to the button that says : "replace media file" I press it and nothing happens.
    W.. isn't there supposed to be a window that pops up or somthing?
    How else can I re-link these media files into my project without completley replacing them and redoing the trim fade placement etc.?

    Have you tried the "Reconnect Media" command in the File menu? That should help you reconnect every media file in the project, instead of doing them one by one using the replace media button in the inspector.

  • How do i reconnect missing generators?

    I used the "duplicate project" feature to move my project to another machine so I could work on the road but I'm getting the 'missing media' warning on all of my custom Motion Generators. I know the custom Motion Genrerators are on my laptop because I can see them in the effects browser when I launch a new project.
    So, two questions:
    1) why would FCP tell me my custom generators missing when I open this project on my laptop (even though they're there)
    2) how do I reconnect them? I only see an option to reconnect referenced video clips, not generators.
    Thanks for any help!

    I am using windows

  • How do i reimport missing media

    While importing media files to FC, some of the files did not import correctly. How can I re-import only those files? Is there a way to batch import the missing media files if I select them?

    Improted from where? Camera? Try the reimport from camera function. Yes you can import multiple clips selectively.

  • How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

    I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
    If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
    Many thanks

    No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

  • How do I view blackberry media files on my iphone

    How do I view Blackberry Media files on my iPhone?

    If your media is in iTunes restore the iPod, but the iPod is/was the only location currently hosting some of your media then the first task is to try to extract it. See the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some recovery tools. Most third party tools will probably require the device to have a functioning library however the techniques outlined in the iLounge Article referenced at the end should work as long as the device still shows up in Windows Explorer or Finder.

  • False positive critical alert from OEM: number of missing media files is 7

    Hi all,
    We were a bit stunned here as we got a page from OEM that the number of missing media files is 7! We ran the query only to find that there are none missing. One of the SR. DBA's said he thought he remembered seeing this months ago and it cleared itself soon after.
    SELECT COUNT(FILE#)
    FROM V$DATAFILE_HEADER
    WHERE RECOVER ='YES'
    OR ERROR IS NOT NULL;
    After running that to verify the count is 0 (no missing files or corrupt files) I then looked in OEM at the alert and clicked the hyperlink to the graph that shows a spike to 7 then immediately went away so I assume this is some but in 10.2.0.4?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Missing Media File Count metric represents the count of missing media files.
    You can remove it from monitoring template if don't need.
    Here is with screenshots demonstrated that:

    But basicaly under this message is select:
    SELECT count(file#)
    FROM v$datafile_header
    WHERE recover ='YES' OR error is not null;
    Do you have any rows returned?

    lightroom 5 is not showing previous successfully imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do  I reconnect missing images?

    If the images are not identified as missing ... then you can't reconnect them
    But I'm not really sure what is happening, as I don't understand your description of the problem, could you show us a screen capture? Or describe what appears on your screen in much more detail...

  • FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

    FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
    As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
    Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

  • How do I reconnect missing files in the Slideshow Editor?

    I created a slideshow and set up everything (pan/zoom, size, etc) and it worked fine.
    I saved the project before closing it and had created an output video at 800x600. For some reason I could not create the 1024x768 video.
    After shutting down for the night I tried to reopen it again and see if the 1024x768 would work. We will be showing this video on a 12 foot screen of this 1024x768 dimension pixel size… so I like to save it at that dimension.
    When I opened the “Slideshow Editor” many of the pictures were missing. I was able to reconnect the pictures in the “Organizer” but they are still missing in the “Slideshow Editor”. It appears that the pictures that are missing are all from one windows folder. Another folder contents are fine.
    FYI:
    For some reason the pictures had shown up as linked to my external drive… where I have my backup files.
    I did get them all linked (reconnected) in the Organizer to my C drive but they still do not show up in the “Slideshow Editor”. I did change (in windows) the file location of these files to get the project better reorganized. That probably kicked off the disconnect in the first place.
    Is there some way to get all of these pictures in the “Slideshow Editor” reconnected? It is going to take about 5 hours of work to redo this project if I can not reconnect to these files. Since it was so easy in the Organizer it seems like there should be a way to do this in the “Slideshow Editor”.
    I am using “Windows XP” and “Photoshop Elements 8”.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    I know i can do that... the point is i do not want to spend 5 more hours rebuilding the project.
    What you are suggesting is just that... starting over.
    I would like to correct the problem in the "Slideshow Editor".

  • Removing missing media files

    I recently had some trouble with locating the files on my computer after I updated my iTunes. I had to import the whole library again, but now I have doubles of every song and exclamation points next to all the old ones. Does anyone know how to erase all the old one, without having to click each individual one. I was looking for a "remove missing media" button or something. Thanks.

    I'm not aware of any functionality within the stock iTunes program to do that. One solution that I use is the iTunes Library Updater third-party program. This utility can not only remove tracks from your library with no corresponding media, but can also add in files that haven't been added to your library. I use this with a shared music network share and two separate iTunes libraries. It works well, though I wish Apple had this functionality natively.

  • How do I view hidden media files on iPad Air?

    I recorded some interviews on a third-party app (Voice Recorder Pro) that I need to edit. I tried email the file to myself  from the app so I could access the .m4a file, but I got an error saying I need to download it from iTunes.  I cannot figure out how to get the file into iTunes. The setup icon in the app only has two icons: change color and contact us. I've sent a couple of emails and have gotten no response. Their website is a single page in Italian so no help there.
    I even downloaded a third party app on my PC called iExplorer which is supposed to backup files such as text messages to my PC. I have a Mac Air at the office that I synced my iPad to trying to get the files imported into iTunes so I can access these .m4a files and I keep hitting a brick wall.
    I'm desperate. The only thing visible in either Explore or Finder are the photos. As soon as I can figure out where these .m4a files are hidden so I can copy them to my laptop I am deleting that app, but right now I'm at my wit's end.
    Does anyone know how to see media files created in an app?  Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
