How to reload/recognize GIF files after moving AE project

I just moved some AE projects to a new computer. Naturally as I now load the AEP's it says all files not found. The file paths have changed. Just about everything in the folder of all projects is GIF files and a few WAVS.
RIght now if I right click on the item and choose REPLACE FOOTAGE, then try to choose a GIF file, AE says it can't parse the file, since AE does not recognize a GIF file as "footage".
Can anyone tell me how to choose an entire set of files in a project and point AE to the right directory so it can find the new file paths?
thanks
John

Hmmm. I did both procedures. Collect files. Move the newly created folders over to the other computer. Install the current free version of quicktime 7. Then I booted the AEP, but the GIFs are still proxies and once again AE tells me it can't parse the GIF files. Is it possible that AE 5.5 is not recognizing the new quicktime install?
thanks

  • How to insert a gif file into a table?

    Hi,
    I need to insert a gif file into a table. Can anyone tell me where I can find the information on how to create this kind of table, how to insert a gif file into a table and how to select?
    Thanks,
    Helen

    Hi Helen,
    You could read about that in the documentation which is available online.
    For a starter: BLOB. And I bet there are many examples to be found on the web.
    Good luck. :)

    After converting your file a box will appear on top of the window showing 'Download' option.
    When click on that your file will be downloaded and it will show the notification at the bottom.
    Click on arrow -> 'Show In Folder'.
    It will direct you to the location where your file has saved.

  • Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

    Please help!  Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox.   Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file.  I am 100% sure that I had the newest version.   Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help.  He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

    I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox.  I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files."  They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
    If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
    Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
    Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

  • How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

    Hello all,
    I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
    I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
    I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
    The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
    I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
    I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
    Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
    Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
    Any help would be super, many thanks,
    Flasher87

    i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
    second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
    Thank you.

  • How to keep the previous versions of my iWork files after moving them?

    I have several iWork files which were stored in the iCloud. Today I was trying to move them into my USB drive. But after I moved them, I found that all the previous versions of these files were gone. If I moved them from iCloud to my Mac, those previous versions stayed there, but they would be gone if I moved the files into the USB drive.
    Is there any way that I can keep the files' previous versions after moving to a USB drive? My USB drive is in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Thank you!

    I am sorry that I didn't make my point clear enough. By "previous versions" I mean "File > Revert To > Browse All Versions". If I moved my files to a thumb drive then it will become empty, I am wondering is there any way to prevent it from being erased. Thank you!

    Well sorry about the duplicate posts, I got no idea which Community I should post in and I wish as many people can see my question as possible.
    And you didn't solve my problem at all. I want my files ON the thumb drive but STILL have those previous versions. Thanks.

  • Problems w/ iTunes locating files after moving library to external HDD

    My iTunes collection of Music has outgrown my iBook hard unfortunately, so I finally decided to switch all my music to an external hard drive. I followed this tutorial given by iLounge (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/) step by step, and the hope was that it would be a clean transition so I could make space on my laptop, however I ran into a huge glitch. After going into my preferences and changing where the Library was located (from the laptop to Ext. HD), I went ahead and consolidated my library to the Ext HD. That went okay, or so I thought, but when I tried using some of the songs, I noticed the exclamation point meaning it could find the the song. So i went try and find the song on the external hard drive and for reason, when iTunes was consolidating(copying) the music some songs didn't transfer. I've reset location to the default on the laptop HD, but I'm having to go through and manually locate files that iTunes can't "find". Is there an easier way to get the library reload the original location of the files w/o deleting everything and reimporting the whole library? And how would I do a clean transition?

    about the middle of the page they suggest starting iTunes while holding option. then choose "rebuild library"
    This did not work for me. I still get icon for "dead tracks" on most of my music. And when holding the option key you just get to choose the library - not rebuild. I'll look to see if there is another way to rebuild. I did find this on Doug's Apple Scripts site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/solutions01.php#003
    +• Wait a sec! I didn't delete any files, but I still see "!" next to some tracks. What gives?+
    +Some users report that their files are intact, yet on occasion, some files go AWOL...they still exist, but for some reason iTunes can't see them, and the tracks they represent show the dreaded "!". To discover the facts, you can use List MIA's, mentioned above, which will create a list of these tracks; then you can go hunting for them. To re-associate these tracks, you must click on them; iTunes will ask if you want to locate the missing file, and you weave through an Open/Save dialog for each one.+
    +I have read reports of people having success with 1) Repairing Permissions (see your Mac Help) and 2) ensuring that your files are set to "Open with:" iTunes—you set this in a single respresentative file's Get Info box; be sure to click "Change all". This latter solution worked for me when, mysteriously, iTunes failed to recognize older files I had ripped with SoundJam and MACast in OS 9 back in the last century.+
    +I have often been asked: "But my tracks are right there! Can't you write a script that just looks for the files in the Music folder?" It's not that easy. However I did put together iTunes Track CPR. It uses the existing data from a "dead track" to try and locate its file in the Music folder. It is not perfect (except for play counts, tag data will be rescued), but it does work well under most circumstances.+
    I am going to try the iTunes Track CPR and see if that helps.

  • How to delete a jar file after loading image files from it

    Hi,
    How can I delete a jar file after some image files have been loaded? For example, say, I have "a.jar" which contains an image "a.gif" in the root directory of the c drive. I would like to get the image size and then delete the jar file. Here is the code snippet:
        URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
        System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
        File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
        while(file.exists())
            file.delete();
            try
                Thread.sleep(100);
            catch (InterruptedException ignored)
        System.out.println("file deleted.");I get the image size correctly but just can not delete the jar file. Apparently the file handle is not released, but how to close it? Any hint will be appreciated.
    Justin Jan

    I am sure the URLConnection.defaultUseCaches is set before it is connected otherwise I should catch an IllegalStateException on conn.setUseCaches(false).
            try
                URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");           
             URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
               conn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
             conn.setUseCaches(false);
                Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
                System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
                url.openConnection().getInputStream().close();
                System.gc();
             System.runFinalization();
                File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
                while (file.exists())
                    file.delete();
                    try
                        Thread.sleep(10);
                    catch (InterruptedException ignored)
                System.out.println("file deleted.");

  • How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

    Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
    A: File -> import-> video to layers.
    In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
    Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
    They will now be available in your animation palette.

    Zeno
    curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
    I guess I'm out of luck with the 64  bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
    What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?
