How do I reconnect my xmp files in PE9?

After moving and copying photos between two internal and one external hard drive I find I have a lot of xmp files in the Recycle bin.  Can I "reconnect" these files to the images and video clips they belong to?  The dates are messed up and tags are missing from a lot of my stuff after all the moving.

    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 my iTunes files so they play after Library move?

    Help! I had a 13g iTunes Library which I moved to an internal drive in my G4 Dual, not the original drive it has been on since 2002. For some reason I was unable to play the files in the new location so I moved them all back to their original folder and now for each tune I try to play I get a prompt "iTunes cannot locate the file xxx. Do you want to locate it?'. Well, I can't do this for 13g worth of tunes. I have tried to Consolidate and do all the proper things listed here as well as moving the whole folder back to the internal drive to try again. All the music is there but in every case it asks me if I want to locate the tune beofre playing it. How do I re-attach each file to it's title in the Music list w/o doing it individually? Thank you so much!

  • 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.

  • How to render to 720p mp4 file in PE9

    I 've been a happy user of Sony Vegas for quite some years, but now I'm giving Premiere Elements a go. Seems to me like the obvious is hidden far away! I'd like to render my movie to a pretty standard format for publishing on vimeo or youtube: mp4-format, 1280x720, 5000kbps bitrate. This should be pretty obvious, but right now, I really kind find a way to do this. Who can help me?

    If you go to Share/Computer/MOV and click the Advanced button, you'll find options for creating an H.264 file to almost any specs.
    The file will come  out with an MOV suffix, but you can change it to MP4 if you'd like. It will function either way.

    How do I reconnect a missing file when it doesn't show on the right hand side?

    What do you mean by "missing file", or "reconnect", or "right side"?
    You haven't given us enough information to understand what you're referring to, much less to help you.

  • Bridge CS5 not recognizing xmp files created on CS6?

    An employee of mine edited several shoots, using her own computer.  She has CC and used Camera RAW.  I still use CS5 and am trying to process the files she edited (I have the RAW and the xmp files).  Typically, I process these through Bridge.  However, Bridge doesn't seem to recognize her xmp files.  Any ideas on 1. why this is happening, and 2. how I can apply her xmp files when converting the RAW to jpeg?  We are talking about 1500 images.  Thanks!

    What camera model is she using?  What camera raw version are you using on your CS5?  Is her camera model supported by your cs5 acr?
    Perhaps she could process her raw files+xmp into dng files to pass on to you.

  • How can I use an old XMP file on a new set of images??

    I have an older XMP file that contains settings used to retouch some previous images in a particular way. I'd like to apply those same settings to a new set of images. How can I use that older XMP file on a new set of images in Lightroom?

    I’m pretty sure Adobe NEVER intended for someone to copy an XMP file from one photo to another outside of LR as a way to replicate settings.   You can make a preset from a photo, as discussed, or if you don’t want to do that, copy-paste the settings from a representative photo that you initially select to one or more new photos.  You could have a special LR folder that holds standard photos to copy/paste from.  Of course creating a Develop preset from the representative photo is the “normal” way to handle such situations, but maybe you have hundreds of different situations to copy settings from and don’t want to create presets for each one, but I’d argue that you could create a complex folder hierarchy for your presets and still have them findable without that much problem.
    As far as the mystery about why some photos show Reset and some show From Metadata, is the Process Version (down in Camera Calibration) of the photo before reading the settings the same between the two situations?  And in general, are these virgin photos newly imported into LR or have some been modified in LR, already?  Does an XMP file already exist for any of these, where that XMP is being overwritten by your external-to-LR copying?  Or do you have auto-write-XMP enabled and your hand-copied XMP is getting overwritten by LR, automatically, before you have a chance to read in anything?

  • .XMP files no longer appear as sidecars--how to clear metadata?

    Photoshop CS2 ver 9.0.2
    Bridge ver 1.0.4.6
    ACR ver 3.7
    eMac G4 800 MHz
    Mac OS X ver 10.4.9
    1 Meg RAM
    12 GB available disk space
    Bridge and Photoshop are set to save metadata in .XMP sidecar files, but sidecar files no longer appear. That is, up till a few days ago, .XMP files appeared when I opened raw files, but no longer. The drop-down menu is still set to save metadata in sidecar files.
    Cannot clear metadata in Bridge. I can select "Camera Raw Defaults" in ACR, but that doesn't clear cropping.
    1) How do I return already-stored metadata to .XMP files?
    2) How do I get PSCS2 to store future metadata as .XMP files?
    3) How do I clear metadata currently stored in ACR/PS database?
    4) What did I do to cause system to store metadata in ACR/PS database despite being set to save in sidecar files?
    Thanks.
    --HC

    Noel,
    Excellent point.  I have no idea.  Maybe this was only working for
    .PSDs/etc. (which contain the metadata embedded in the file itself[,
    right?]).  I may have been deluding myself this whole time.  It's
    possible that it never really worked the way I thought it did to begin with.
    But, more specifically, here's the current question:  If I have this
    file (which is a backup from long ago):
    J:\backup of M90\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application
    Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...assuming that drives are currently mapped (by drive letter) the same
    way they were when that backup was made), can I just replace the current
    file:
    C\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...with the one from J: and expect it to work correctly?
    What's the worst that can happen if I do this?
    BTW, the file on J: is 2,569 Kb; the (new) one on C: is 2,754 Kb.  This
    doesn't seem to bode well, since the old one (J:) should have much, much
    more data in it (assuming that the "Database" file per se is where the
    metadata is stored): the older file has complex,
    multi-tiered data for 10s of 1000s of images.  "??"
    Thanks again for your willingness to help with this!!
    Aloha,

  • Photoshop Album 1.0: How do I reconnect 350 "edited pictures" showing as disconnected files?

    I purchased and downloaded PS Elements 13 64-bit Win7 from the Adobe website to a new Dell Inspirion 64-bit with Win 7 Pro.  I have previously been using a registered copy of Photoshop Album 1.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 since 2005.  The most recent use was on a computer running Windows 7 Pro operating system using the virtual XP to run PSE.  That computer was fried by a lightning strike.  However, I retrieved the hard drive in good working order with files intact.  I am currently running the PSE program on an old PC with XP and accessing the picture files (9,600) on the old hard drive attached as an external J: drive.  My goal is to transfer all picture files to the new Dell Inspirion where the new PSE 13 resides.  I couldn’t get the PSE 2.0 program to access the picture files!
    I finally figured out how to use MS Access to change the drive reference to J:/.
    1) there were a number of line items that seemed to be anomalies in the Access table.  Could these be a cause for the following disconnects?
    It seemed that I was about prepared to transition to the new computer and PSE 13, but then after opening PSE 2.0, I found I still had about 350 disconnected files (indicated by a “?” in place of the pic icon).  I then determined that most, if not all of the disconnects, had one thing in common: they were all “edited pictures” and obviously some of my most valued pictures.  I have started to reconnect them one at a time, but it’s very time consuming!
    2) Is there a more efficient way to accomplish these reconnections?
    If I understand it correctly, the PSE acts like a card catalog in the library where it simply references the actual location of the original and/or edited files.
    3) Ultimately, how do I transfer all the reconnected pictures and the associated files and folders to the new computer?
    Thanks for any advice or assistance you can offer!
    <edited by admin to be readable>

    Thanks for your quick response.  I respectfully question with your conclusion that I am in the wrong forum!  Adobe Photoshop Album v 1.0 is the specific program I have used for nine years and that is the program I just reopened to verify it's title and that is the program wherein all the Adobe advice is to reconnect all my files before proceeding to convert to Photoshop Elements 13.  The original box describes it as "The fast and easy way to organize and share your lifetime of photos." My apologies for even mentioning the Photoshop Elements 2.0 (the original box describes it as "image-editing software" which I seldom ever used.  Apparently the functions of PSA & PSE has changed over the many versions, as I first went to the Elements forum and  I can't seem to find anyone in the PSE forum to offer any help.  Is Photoshop forum not the forum that would deal with Photoshop Album? There is a forum I see for Photoshop Album Starter Edition, but a quick review of messages seems to relate to something more recent than my product which is not entitled Starter Edition.  Thanks for any clarification in getting me to the right forum if this is not it! 

  • HOw do I open XMP files I have light room 5 and photoshop elements 12?

    How do I open XMP files??? windows 8, lightroom 5 and photshop elements 12...

    You don't need to. As long as the XMP file is in the same folder as the corresponding image file, LR or Adobe Camera Raw will automatically read it and recognize your last completed edit when you open the file or go to Develop module (reads from catalog).

  • How do I reconnect a distributed form/response file created in 9 to XI so I can get my responses?

    I've created quite a few forms in Adobe Pro 9 and have recently been upgraded to Adobe Pro XI.  When I opened my response files I get a message that the response file is no longer connected to the server.  How do I reconnect it so I can pick up the data that has been entered and is waiting for me to download?  BTW, when XI was downloaded, it wrote over the Pro 9 program.  Please tell me there is a way to do this so I don't lose what has already been entered and have to redo it all.

    This is the Adobe Reader forum; you are more likely to get a useful response if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • How open xmp file in window 7

    When I do post processing by Raw, XMP file automatically created.
    1.How open this file in window 7?
    2. I need keep this file because I have same file in Adobe 12?
    3. What happened if delete it?
    4. If it not need how prevent to created it?

    Also before go to any adjustment we can ( I always do)   made copy or duplicate the  original and working with the copy.
    This is completely unnecessary.
    Adobe software never overwrites or modifies your RAW files. (Not true for original JPG files, in which case Adobe software could overwrite the original JPG file)
    It has nothing to do with saving as DNG or saving as JPG. Furthermore, if you are editing a RAW, in general I see no point to save it as a DNG, when saving it as a RAW by clicking on "DONE" accomplishes the same thing.

  • How do I reconnect files referencing my iPhoto library?

    Hi, I have a bunch of files that I've imported from iPhoto but Aperture is saying are offline.  I know I have to reconnect them to the masters in the iPhoto library, but when I try, using the Locate Referenced File command, the "iPhoto Library" at the bottom pane doesn't show me the folder structure to locate the file.  i.e. iPhoto Library > Masters > etc. > etc.
    How can I reconnect images that are referening my iPhoto Library?
    Thanks!!
    Sal.

    iPhoto stores pictures in a combined package file. To archive part of your library, you would have to select the photos and export them.

  • How do I import xmp files that contain edits from another computer?

    I edited some images on my laptop and the Metadata Catalog settings show changes are written into the .xmp files.  I copied both the CR2 and corresponding .xmp files to my Desktop computer.  When I imported the images into LR 5.5, the edits did not show up.
    How do I get the corresponding .xmp files to update the CR2 files?  Or do I have to start over and import the LR Catalog from my Laptop for just this series of images?
    If I send off my CR2 files for someone to edit and they send me back the .xmp files containing the edits, shouldn't I be able to update my original CR2 files???
    Thanks, Marc

    Also for the info to be read 100% both computers need to be using the same version of LR. (e.g. Lr 4.x will not apply all the info from LR 5.x)
