How to relink clips THROUGH the new Project Library??

I updated everything to FCPX 10.1.1.
Some clips became unlinked.  I go to link them ... and am stopped dead by the NEW Library Icon (with all it's internal folders no longer seemingly accessible).  I know the file is in there - if I do a search in Finder for the missing media, it takes me right to where it is.
When I do a relink, stopped dead in my tracks by the new format.
How do I access the folders hidden in the new Project Library to relink my clips with their original media?

you miss the concept of Libs:
Libraries are no 'real world' folders, just a 'register' where is what .. in best-of-all-worlds, all data (audio, video, stills, projects ...) are on the same drive - but the concept of Libs allows data spread all across your network But handled as 'one', e.g to finally-save Projects, outsource old data etc ...
A Lib acts like a (super-)folder, but isn't. Simple example: a 10GB lib could fit on a 2GB drive! .. if data is spread on some other drives. But Finder says 'here', due to use of hard- or sym-links. ....
... I read in my searches that one doesn't have to have one's media stored in the Library, but I haven't found a protocol yet for saving media elsewhere.
It's always in some LIb, but not physically... s.above ...
..  One thing I can't figure out:  Folders.  I love folders.  I use them all the time to organize.
obsolete,
get familiar with the concept of tags/keywords/smartlists.
example:
a clip is tagged x-mas, grandma, 2002, funny scene .. one clip, one storage location, many ways to find it.
now, your old drawer/folder system: the scene with grandma wearing a funny hat ... do I have to dig in folder 'videos2002' or 'videos2003'? sub-folder xmas or birthday? or is it n my 'out-takes drive'.. but under what name? your one clip can only be in one drawer... but should be found under several keywords... sooo?
Folders = old school
tags = much more convenient.
(plus: you can use tags very similiar as your old folders... but a computer is much faster in dig'n-search than you, manually
concerning re-linking:
I once had the effect, a 'lost' drive had to be re-mounted:
the red-icon-of-terror (cam missing), relink doesn't came up with a suggestion; clicked on import from camera, clicked to my cam-archive on some drive - and WHILE doing so FCPX instantly found the old connection (no re-import nor re-linking neccessary)..
That drive was unintended un-plugged while using FCPX ..... never happened again.

    I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows:  3 Canon camcorders,
    Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
    b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
    additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception. 
    Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base.  I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen.  Is there a better option?  I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR.  I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
    Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
    (And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

    Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
    Before
    After
    It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
    And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
    (without overdoing it to get black borders again).
    After and an adjust
    Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
    Thank you.

  • The new project couldn't be created.

    A box appears saying "The disk maybe locked, maybe full, try saving to different location. The new project titled appers as an empty folder. This happens when I wish to create a personal title for the project, but doesnt happen when I title the project "My great movie". I have cleared to disk space, and this problems persists.

    Hi
    How many hard disks Do You have ?
    and free space on each of them ?
    and in iMovie You set it in the Project window to show up as individual hard disks and the new Project addressed to one with enough space ?

  • How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.

    How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.
    This little FAQ will only cover the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
    First thing too do is unistall any older version of the MSI Bluetooth Software.
    Do this through the Add/Remove program applet in your control panel.
    There seams too be only through Live update you could get the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
    If you can't see any enter for MSI Bluetooth Software in the Live driver section of Live update then you have too enter the following too your registry.
    Create following code in Notepad and save it as MSILD.reg, then run the file.
    ;-->Code start
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MSI\Drivers\MSI Bluetooth Software]
    "DrvSetup"="1"
    "Version"="1.4.2.10"
    ;-->Code end
    Rerun the Live update and hopefully you will now see a entry for MSI Bluetooth Software in Live driver section.
    Install the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software and reboot your computer. Even if the setup program doesnt told you too doit.
    After rebooting the computer you will see the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. If it's Red then try too start the Bluetooth services by right click on the try icon and the only alternetiv there is.
    If the Bluetooth services is asking for a valid licens.dat then you should do the following.
    Surf to Jon's Bluetooth guide http://www.jonsguides.com./bluetooth/prepare.html and download the patcher from the link there.
    Unzip the the patcher and then run the BTWPatcher.exe program.
    Now the Bluetooth services will start and you will bee able too configure your own settings for the Bluetooth services.
    If nothing of this work you could try the complete Bluetooth solution at Jon's gudie and install the IBM version of the same program. I havent test this solution and will not do soo.

    I have the MS-6968 device and i want to use driver 1.4.x or 3.0.x. I found the driver 1.4.2.10 but i cannot find any WIDCOMMSecurity code.
    So, can anyone give me a link for BTWPatcher.exe???
    It cannot be found here (Jon's Bluetooth ) anymore.
    Thanks

  • I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

    I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?  Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

    How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
    Check your power status
    From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
    Copy and Paste in your reply.
    The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
    Long term storage (6 months):
    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

    I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

    iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also.  Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
    The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

  • Different zoom levels for different clips in the same project?

    Hi
    I am making a movie with videos from two different cameras. As a result some of the clips are cut down in size to a small portion of the screen. This can be solved if it is possible to use different zoom levels for different clips in the same project. I have not been able to do this. Is it possible?
    kind regards
    Soren

    You can scale the small clips up to the same size of the larger one... but you will get a quality loss.
    Using Motion or Scale to Frame Size commands
    Better to scale the large ones down to a Sequence that matches the smaller clip dimensions.
