How do I replace Missing project Media?

I decided to take my FCE HDD with me when visiting my brother to start editing some video there. To make a long story short, when I got home, I realized that I had the project files, but had forgot to get the actual media.
Now, I can Log and Transfer the media back to my computer. However, FCE doesn't appear to realize that it is the same media, and won't let me reconnect it that way. Since the media has several edits, I don't want to re-do all of that. Is there a way to force it to apply the edits to the new files, since they are actually the same? Or do I need to find a way of getting the old media back?

You have three options:
1. If you have the camera you can use Log and Transfer (if it was an AVCHD camera) or Capture (if a tape based camera) to bring all of your old footage back. This will not help at all really, because then you would have to do the whole project again.
2. If the camera was tape based and you have it with you, you can do Capture Project in the Capture window to recapture any footage missing. This should save most of the stuff.
3. You could reconnect the media using the Reconnect Media function if you get the original media.
All of these options require you have the camcorder with the original media or the media on a scratch disk to use. Without media to capture/reconnect, I'm afraid you are out of luck.

  • How do I reinstall missing Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    I need some help here ??
    When attempting to encode on Vista from Premiere 3.2 the Adobe Media Encode (AME) just goes off and hangs.
    Looked for the error log which lives at
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
    Make sure you have view hidden files turned on to look for this file..
    Ok the folder "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It looks like the installation is FUBAR.
    I check CS3 Master Collection distribution - I don't see a module for Adobe Media Encoder to reinstall.
    So my question is . How do I reinstall the "Adobe Media Encoder" for the CS3 collection ?
    Anybody have a clue as how to do this ?
    How do I reinstall the Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    Mr Hunt...
    I my view you're a wizzard with statute more than Merlin...
    Here's what I found. Last time I shut down ProPre I was on a dual monitor.
    I tossed my laptop in the car went to 2nd location.
    Re-configured laptop for single monitor mode.
    Upon starting up ProPre hammered encoding and the resulting screen opened ...... which I could not see.
    PrePro DOES NOT sense hardware.... Dhaaaaaaaaa
    Its stays stuck in dual monitor mode !!!!!
    You need a second monitor to unstick it !!!!!
    I was unable to set it back to single mode without the 2nd monitor !!!
    Yahhoooo !!!! Its working again !!!!!
    Dhaaaaaaa

  • How can I replace missing network prefspane in 10.5.8?

    Is there a way to replace a missing Network PrefPane on a G5 Mac Pro running 10.5.8?
    I Bought this machine to use as a movie streaming machine via Apple TV. But I did not receive the original installation discs.
    DOwnloaded the 10.5.8 upgrade but it does not remedy the problem.
    IT would be hard for me to justify the 100+ cost of new Leopard disks, so I'm hopeful there's another solution.

    After backing up the suspect hard drive, I ran Disk Repair on it and found no problems. Then ran Disk Warrior again and no problems. It is a Hitachi, btw.
    As for the PrefPane issue: Repairing disk permissions on the main volume and on the partition that holds the system did not make any difference.
    Reinstalled the 10.5.8 upgrade, performed safe start and then repaired permissions again. Still getting a blank PrefPane for network.
    Next step is to try and trash the System Configuration plist and Network Interfaces plist.

  • Can I use render files to replace missing media in FCPX

    I lost some media, but I still have render files. They are weird files that don't open in any other software and have no filename extensions. Can I use these existing render files to replace missing original media? Or maybe a better question is....what kind of files are these render files for FCPX?

    Hello
    I'm not sure at all but first things first. Try simple list of commands in shell :
    #!/bin/bash
    Render -r sw file1;
    Render -r sw file2;
    Render -r sw file3;
    Each command separated by semi-colon will be executed one by one.
    Unless command 'Render' exits before finishing the rendering, the above shell script should do what you want.
    Good luck,
    H

  • How to Replace Missing Links in CS5 InDesign

    I received a message that there were 13 missing links in my document. How do I replace those links? I can see the locations of the missing links in the links panel but I am not sure how to get them back in the document.

    Hi Richl,
    In the Links panel, highlight the images you want to relink (shift + click to select a range), and click on the leftmost icon at the bottom of the panel (looks like two chain links). You'll be presented with a menu to locate your missing links. If the links in the panel show a yellow rectangle next to them, the link simply needs to be updated, and to do that you click the update icon at the bottom of the links panel.
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers!

  • If my video icon is missing, how do i replace it?

    The clapboard icon for video is missing on my ipad.  How can I replace it so I don't always have to search for my movies?

    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    You may have put it on another screen, so swipe from screen to screen and look for it.

  • How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

    Hello all!
    Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
    How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
    I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

    Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

  • Experiment Results: Removing/Replacing Projects, Media Manually

    Experiment Results: Temporarily removing Events and Projects from library
    REASON: I wanted to test removing events and especially ram-hungry projects from FCPX 10.1 to unclog the app a bit. I've been getting lots of spinning wheel time and dropdown windows saying projects unopened and unneeded were being loaded.
    METHOD: I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    Why not remove them? There seems to be hysteria about manually touching the library but no one relates an actual incident that highlights how things can go wrong.
    I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    NOTE: The projects are early versions of segments of feature length doc I most likely will never need to bring back in.
    After removing an Event that had only Projects, FCPX opened no problem and a lot quicker.
    ODDITY: Removed Events names still appeared with the twirly triangle beside them tho the event icon didn't appear and the Events were empty. I tried trashing them but couldn’t.
    I then closed fcpx and removed media. Reopened no problem. Closed.
    Returned Event folders and media to their proper place, reopened no problem. The projects were all there tho their icons were blank at first but then after a couple minutes pics started appearing in them and pretty soon all seemed normal. I opened projects, they worked, no problem.
    TO TRY?:
    Moving projects & media manually between events—This may be where things get dicey, but you could do this manually with earlier versions of FCPX. It's not something I would do normally since ti's too easy to do in FCPX. But since I have this copy I might try it just to see what happens. If you don't experiment it's  not science it's religion. And since I wasn't eaten by monsters doing the above it makes me doubt the hysteria about this. Still something I wouldn't normally do.

    Yes, I think you're right. In another discussion, a gent said his students had had corrupted files. That wasn't something I'd heard before, just the strictures against doing it.
    Ok, so I was wrong. I still have this problem with slow performance due to all appearances having too many projects (earlier edited versions of segments of feature-length doc).
    My only resort now appears to be to delete early project versions of segments (duplicates in prior versions of FCPX, snapshots now).

  • How would I replace just the (imported) movie portion without having to start over the entire iDVD project from scratch?

    I've just added a new ending and want to burn the new version of my iDVD project.  How would I replace just the (imported FCE) movie portion without having to start over the entire iDVD project from scratch?

    In an attempt to help clarify:
    The FCE 3.5 project I first wrote about had 10 chapters and was a mix of stills and transcoded DSLR video clips that measured 58 min in length. After FCE converted it to a Quicktime movie, it exported from FCE to iDVD 7 flawlessly until I was asked to make a last minute change.
    My older software wasn't endowed with the ability to "detect modifications".  However, Deleting Assets was successful and a revised version of the original video could substituted saving me from starting iDVD over from scratch (thanks to Old Toad).  Luckily, the ugly iDVD BUG did not awaken during these procedures.  Thanks Bengt W.
    I hope this helps the discussion.

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck
