How to relink clips when FCPX thinks they do not match

FCPX - I have been trying for hours to relink my clips:  they are the same yet FCPX says this every time: "The original file didn't have audio, but the new file does."  I need to find a way to force relink the clips.  my project is too big to start doing this manually.  and you got it - this was due yesturday. If anyone has found a way to fooling FCPX to mach clips please let me know.  I have already tried to reimport the clips - no luck.  really desperate. hopefully someone knows how to relink when FCPX thinks it can't.
Thanks

You would need to provide clips that match in terms of audio channels- if FCPX expects an original clip that had no audio channels that what you need to supply in order to relink. With QuickTime Player 7 it's very easy to resave clips without an audio channel:

This can also be done with MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

    TThose aren't bins. Those are just groupings based on when the content was created or any other selected parameter. Use the action popup in the toolbar tho change the setting.

  • Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
    my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
    this ?

    Is there a way I can stop
    this ?
    No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
    See this link:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

  • Request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about th eamount of folks affected!

    request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about the percentage of folks affected!
    and what's with the minimalist response? We're working on it for 2 days? You can do beter than that for exsisting loyal customers can't you?

    I just spoke to a Support person with Apple.  I got the same answer, "We Don't Know", "but they are working on it...Blah, Blah.  I too live in Ventura, and have been without email since yesterday approx. 3:00 pm.
    The guy said, it's the same if you brought your computer into the shop.  We have to determine if it's hardware, or software, then fix the problem.
    Well, What about a BACK UP SERVER?  No real answer to that one.  Just, "Thanks, for your Patience."
    This really blows!!!

    Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

  • How do you load google maps as they are not preloaded

    how do you load google maps as they are not preloaded and it would take long time by moving around on the maps

    You can't. The built in Maps app does not store data locally on your phone. It requires a data connection to display location info.

  • HT204053 I have 3 I phones on my Icloud account,  How do I seperate the contacts so they do not merge together?

    I have (3) Iphones on my I cloud account,  How can I seperate the contacts so they are not all download to every phone

    The whole idea of having one iCloud account is that all devices connected to that account can be synced together. If you don't want them syncing contacts, go to Settings>iCloud and turn off Contacts. Then each such device will have its own local contacts list. You may be given the option to move current contacts (from iCloud) to the local database. Choose what you want.

I have had computer a couple of years and changed batteries before, this is the first time this has happened.  Because the mouse does not connect, I cannot operate the computer.   Any clues will be great fully received.

  • HT204022 My Pc downloaded all photos to ipad when I first synched it. Now ipad is full! How can I delete those photos as they were not taken with the ipad! Please...

    When I first bought my ipad and connected it to my PC ten years worth of photos were downloaded ont ipad. It is now full! Cannot delete them as they were not taken with the ipad. Can anyone tell me how to delete them? Apple Store been very unhelpful.
    Many thanks

    photos that were synced to the pad can only be deleted by re syncing.   When you do the resync, on your computer running i tunes, select the photo tab, and uncheck anything you do not want put back on your pad.

  • How can I remove (holiday) songs so they do not play in the overall shuffle, but are not deleted from my library of songs so I can listen to them again next year?

    Hello, I just downloaded holiday music that I only want to hear a couple of days out of the year.  Is there a way to remove these songs from my library so they do not play when I shuffle my entire library, and can I re-call them only during the holiday time?
    Thanks!

    If you're looking at your songs on the music page, the very first column before the song name is a check box. Uncheck any songs you don't want to be picked up in your shuffle. I think that'll do the trick.
    If you don't want them on your iphone\pod, you can deselect them on your device menu under settings if you turn off "entire music library".

  • Producing warnings when cvi function parameters do not match function prototypes

    Is there a function prototype in cvi code which would generate an error/
    warning that my parameters do not match those of the function prototype. I
    am using MSVC 6 for development.

    There is a parameter in the Options>>Build Options menu that do that : check "Require fonctions prototype".
    I think that a function can't do that because you have to check that during the compilation. If you want to check parameters at the run time ( like , scanf function ) you have to do by yourself inside the function.

  • 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.

  • Hi my objects are acting like they are linked or grouped together even though I think they are not. Can you tell me how i can seperate them?

    When I am trying to change the color, or bring forward one object, it does it to all my other objects as well! Why is this happening and how do I isolate or unlink them or whatever? thanks

    Sure they aren't a Compound Path which acts as a single object?
