Is there a Media Browser in FCE4?

It's much different from iMovie. Some of the things that I took for granted are not as readily available. The media browser, for instance. Does it exist in FCE4?

Hi,
there is not media browser like the one in iMovie 08.
There is the browser, where you can create your sequence, bins (to store your footage, musics) and you can import your clips and audio.
There is not such thing where you can browse your iTunes audio, or iPhoto images. You have to import the media that you would like to use in addition to your video clips (whether they are captured or imported).
I would suggest a book that can better explain the FCE4 basics and usage in addition to the user manual
Regards,
Armando.

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country. You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

I've made a movie that keeps causing IMovie to crash - every time I try to play it on full screen or share it to Media Browser. I'm thinking it's damaged some way. Is there any way to copy it?

I'm trying to get a DVD made for my grand daughters to take home tomorrow. Have been trying to get this movie shared to IDVD for several hours. Help!!

Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
When it's finished quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, Create a new project.
Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

I lost my entire video. How can i retirieve it? i went back to my project library and it wasnot there anymore. I saved it in the media browser then when i restarted my computer its all gone. I tried dragging it in dropbox as well but cant find it anymore

I lost my almost complete video in ivideo after restarting my computer. I saved it under media browser and I can no longer find it. When i went back to m yproject, it was no longer there. Is there a wayi can retireve it or this has been an ongoing problem?

Eventually found a answer after browsing bunch of other threads
"To find a Library go to File/Switch to Library and navigate to the appropriate Library. If that does not solve your issue please provide detailed description of your problematic workflow."

Is there a way to remove the command R from opening my media browser?

I use command + t quite often when I am adjusting a track to sync with my drums, and once in a while I will accidentally click the command + R, which opens up my media browser. This little accident ALWAYS takes about 20 - 30 seconds to open, which would be fine once in a while, but once this happens the first time Garageband always takes a lot longer to respond to my editing until I restart the program, which is a huge hassle when I am on a roll. I would just like to remove the key command from allowing this to happen, if there is some way to do this I would be very happy to know how to get this taken care of.
Thanks!
Erik

Brilliant, HangTime! I missed that menu - I was looking in the "Windows" menu.
This works:
I added "GarageBand.app" to the "Application Shortcut" section (press "+") and added new shortcuts ⇧⌘R to Show Media Browser and Hide Media Browser.
Now the ⌘R does not do anything any longer
(You have to log off and on, or to force quit the Finder and restart GarageBand for the changes to take effect! )
Now it is "⇧⌘R" - you can use any key combination you like instead.

Media Browser won't show some textures that are right there by the rest?

Hello, ever since the upgrade to Studio the Media browser will not see 4 and a half categories of Textures. Noise thru Urban won't show in Media browser menu? Tried moving the files and used LiveType preferences but that didn't work either. They are on my Primary drive so that isn't the problem. All the rest of them work fine. They are in the exact same place as the working files. Anybody have an answer? Thank you. Daniel

See the reply under Where are the Effects? I copied the files from my laptop and installed them on my G5. Now it all works! How simple is that? They should have installed from the discs however, but they don't. Hope this helps.

Can you see which timeline clips are being used in Media Browser?

I'm a relatively new user and may not be familiar enough with cs5.5 but
is there a way to see what clips are being used on the editing timeline in the media browser.
I open premiere pro - Project is loaded. I edit the scene until it is finished.
When I look over at the media browser, all my raw clips (some of which I'm
using on the editing timeline) look the same - I can't tell which ones I using on the timeline.
The reason I ask - when I fiinish editing a scene it would be nice to glance over at the
media brower folder where my raw clips are located - easily see which ones I'm using because they
are highlighted or checked and then delete the ones I no longer need.
Is there a way to do this now?
Thanks
Jeff

I dont think so but a better way is to look in the top of the Project Window and there is a drop down that will show you all the useage instances of the clip. You can click on them to go to them in the timeline.

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

Extremely long "reading" times in media browser

We are running CC2014 on 3 edit systems with a shared 10Gbit 36TB Synology NAS. Each workstation has approximately 12TB of local raid storage as well. We shoot P2 primarily and I have a little over 17TB archived on the Synology. Lately, we have had extremely long "reading" times in Media Browser on all the machines. I don't quite understand how Premiere is indexing and displaying as sometimes the "reading" time is relatively quick, ie. under 10 seconds and then other times it can take 3-5 minutes to display clips within a directory.
My Directory Structure is:
Media
     P2 footage
          (P2 folders/ie. cards are all saved with their shoot dates here)
          Our total archive of P2 footage is around 70 cards.
It appears that when Media Browser is pointed to a P2 Card folder it is indexing the entire "P2 footage directory, ie. all 70 cards", rather than just the individual folder containing 1 P2 card's footage. Ist this the case?
Would I get better read speeds in Media Browser if I organized my P2 footage into more directories, ie. by year and quarter or by year and month?
Really need to know how the indexing works. Does premiere cache preview files for each clip and if so, how long are these previews valid. It seems that when I media browse a new P2 Card/Folder, it has forgotten any previous preview files that have been made and cached.
Any explanation or help would be appreciated.
We have copied large numbers of cards/folders from the Synology to our local raids to see if the latency was due to the network but the results are the same when we media browse on the local raid copies.

We are working on this issue. Could you open a support case and submit your
project so we can have support see if it is fixed in a later release?

Why are my EXS .cst settings grey in media browser?

I tweaked the EXS Modulation Matrixes for Orchestra Bassoon for use with breath controller and saved the .cst file. I can see it in the finder in the GarageBand settings[JamPack4] but it's greyed out in Logic Express 8's "Media"-""Browser" Any solutions? Any one else had this problem?How could I get it to use in project now? Copy and Paste?????? I assume it's in the right place because I used the EXS's "save as" before closing that project, and it is in the Finder.

hi jt, you might be aware of this already but i only
get this problem when two notes of the same pitch
overlap.
and it's only with some patches.
i always check in the matrix for overlaps when this
happens.
I do have notes overlapping on the same pitch but on different midi channels (midi 1 is a strong attack while midi 2 is my sus). To test if this was the problem I deleted the "attack notes" leaving just the sus's, and the problem still exists. The cutting off happens well after the "attack" patch is done playing, so I dont think this is the problem and put the attack notes back into the track.
As for the suggestion of using cresc patches, as far as I can see there are no cresc patches in Opus 1/2. The closest patch I've found was something called "dynamics_all" which gives you fp, sfz, sffz, and a 6 sec pfp. The only one that comes close is the pfp, but it doesnt have the sustained power of the F, as it immediately decres back to p, so I'd much rather use the mod_dynamics patches as they have the sound I desire.
The freezing tracks workaround does work, though its a PITA as I use midi instrument objects to control my EXS instruments. Glad that it works though, so at least I can hear the parts played back correctly.
So bottom line, is this a Logic bug? Should we all send in some logic feedback? Will upgrading to 7.2 fix this issue? Its amazing how many issues I run across just trying to write music w/ Logic. Its a rollercoaster of highs and lows! I'm sure its like this in all sequencing programs, but it does get tiresome after awhile!

Projects "Shared to Media Browser" don't actually appear in Media Browser

Hello all. I've got one of those "it seems so easy I must be doing something wrong" questions. (I accidentally posted this in the iMovie HD forum by accident, the first time. I'm actually using iMovie '08.)
This is the first time I've tried this, and I can't seem to get it to work. I've made a bunch of projects in iMovie that I now want to bring into iDVD. I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there. Doesn't matter which other iLife app I use to look -- iWeb, iDVD, GarageBand all do the same thing -- when I look in the "Movies" section, iMovie is there, as are all the Events in my Event Library, but from the screen shots I've looked at, I think the "Shared" iMovie projects are supposed to show up there, just above the Event Library clips, right? They don't.
In iMovie, they look "shared" -- the shared projects all have the "row of square boxes" icon next to them, so it looks like something did happen -- but I can't select them in any other iLife app. My next thought is I'll just export them instead of share, and import the files directly from the Finder, no big deal, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why the Media Browser thing isn't working for me?
I'm using iLife '08 and I have my Movies folder on an external drive (could that be part of the problem?)
Thanks in advance, everyone, for any assistance you can render.

I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there.
1) Sharing to the "Media Browser" stores the project export file in your named_Project folder. As long as you do not delete (or modify) the project, the file(s) will remain available there.
2) Your "Media Browser" files should be located under the "Movies" tab at the very top of your "Media" browser list immediately under the "iMovie" heading and not under the "Movies" heading. (I.e., they have the yellow icon as opposed to the purple source "Event" icon.

Why doesn't my files show up in the "MEDIA BROWSER"?

I recently shot footage on my SONY CX-550 HD camcorder. Each day's footage was downloaded to my desktop in separate folders ( DAY_01, DAY_02... thru DAY_08 ). There are many clips in each folder ( 00000.mts, 00001.mts, etc. ). In PPRO CS5's "MEDIA BROWSER" I can see the clips in all the folders except DAY_02 and DAY_08. If I move a clip out of the folder to another location ( DESKTOP ), the "MB" still does not list it. I can, however, drag the clip from the DAY_02 folder into the PROJECT WINDOW and the plays correctly in the SOURCE WINDOW. I use the "MB" to quickly review a clip by double-clicking it. Having to drag each one into the "ProjWin" for review is time consuming as is reviewing the clip thru Windows Media Player. BRIDGE CS5 displays a thumbnail for each clip as expected. So, why does the contents of just these two folders not display in "MB"?
Thanks in advance,
Sonny Gaither

You're welcome. My mistake, I completely misread your question. Unfortunately currently I don't have any email threads to check it out, just replys from the Apple Support Communities.Sorry.

Can't access Aperture 3 previews in iLife Media Browser

I know this has been posted before but I don't think I've seen a resolution yet ....
Since migrating all of my data etc from my MacBook to new iMac I can't see the Aperture previews in the Media Browser. I've tried reinstalling Aperture and previews are set to be shared with iLife (in Preferences).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Thanks for this - it didn't work, but something else did!!
Turns out there's actually a Knowledge Base answer on a similar matter (discovered after calling Apple Support). Just open Aperture from the dock whilst holding Option + CMD and then select to Repair the library - middle option. Worked straight away!
Thank you

ITunes library not included in media browser, can't share with iLife apps

My iTunes library is no longer included in my media browser previews in other iWork and iLife applications. Not sure when it disappeared, but I know it used to be there! Only recent changes I can think of are I recently migrated all data and accounts on my old iMac to the new iMac using Migration Assistant and I also recently changed the location of the iTunes library from an external drive back to the internal drive. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here?
Your help is much appreciated!

Sorry to update the status, but I've also noticed that my iPhoto, iMovie and Aperture libraries are not being shared in the media browser either. I'm thinking OS X is looking in the wrong place for these libraries as a result of the Migration to the new Mac for some reason, but I really don't know. Any help?

Is there a Media Browser in FCE4?
