Link Media loses clip markers CC (2014)?

Not sure if latest update has anything to do with this, but when I re-imported a clip to my Premiere CC (2014) project, I lost my clip markers. (I had to move the media to a new drive.) Link Media re-imports the clips just fine, but all the markers are gone. This happens whether I link to the missing media at the startup screen, or whether I do it clip by clip, or whether I use Replace Footage.
I'm on a Mac (as you can see). Anyone have any thoughts?

I am having the same problem; both Premiere and Audition are CC 2014 versions. The clip is output as a.wav file to an Adobe Audition Interchange folder, but isn't opening Audition. Doing it outside the dynamic link all works of course but not as it did with CS6. I am calling the video clips from an external drive; I am wondering if I need to have all the working files within the same folder on the same drive? I shouldn't have to, of course, but maybe this is a bug that has crept into this version.

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

Clip markers lost when using "Replace Footage"

I'm running into a problem with clip markers. I've got clips in my project that have been heavily marked. We need to transcode these clips to a better format because they are bogging down my edit. I've transcoded them to ProRes. When I try to replace the originals with the new prores versions I lose all of my clip markers.
Same problem if I take the media offline and then link it to the ProRes versions. Clip names and timecode have not changed, just the compression.
Is there any way to keep my markers and other metadata when I link to the new media?!

As great as that would be, this is not native camera media, it's heavily compressed h.264. We are on a relatively beefy mac pro, but still having issues.

Applying clip markers in CS6 stops playback

Pressing the 'M' key marks the timeline okay, but how do you mark individual clips on the fly? In timeline, it does not mark clips at all. If I bring the clip into the source view, I can mark with the M key, but it stops playback. It also marks every instance of the clip in the same timeline.

Ok - I see how to add the Clip Marker functionality back.
Now is there any way to see those markers in After Effects CS6 via Dynamic LInk?
I do my audio in Premiere - and it would make things much faster if I could place markers in Premiere that I could then use in After Effects to decide where to trigger varied effects or place other media.
Thanks
Hi reindeer4,
Yes, clip markers are intact with Dynamic Link. Sequence markers are not supported, however. You must import a Premiere Pro project to After Effects for those.
Thanks,
Kevin

Drives missing when using Link Media

Premiere CC 2014 is not seeing two of my RAID drives when I try to Link Media that went offline. It's a new menu box now, and I can't find any way to make it see two of my RAID drives.
But Premiere CC 2014 can totally see those drives, because I'm editing with other media on them. And I can see those drives in Import.
Import menu box is on the left. Link Media is on the right. Drives missing.
Any thoughts? Is this a bug? I've already done a bunch of editing and need to be able to Relink 197 clips, not Import them and start over...
Mac OS 10.7.5
Oh, and in Premiere CC, the Link Media menu is the same as the import menu, so this is new to 2014...
--jon--

Thanks, Jeff. Have rebooted multiple times. The two drives are both hardware RAID 5.
I can Import from these drives as well as edit from them. But when I use Link Media (after having moved media to a new folder in one of the drives), Premiere doesn't see the drives when I use Locate. If I use Replace Footage, I can indeed see the two drives and replace each clip one by one.
I also have two external RAID 0 drives that Premiere CAN see when I use Link Media. But it can't see the two RAID 5 drives when try to locate offline media with Link Media.

Audio: Mass-Linking Media

After recently updating to Premiere Pro CC (2014), I encountered that ALL of my audio - except for .wav or .mp3 files - are offline. Whenever I try to "Link Media", it says "File not found."
What am I potentially doing wrong? And is it possible to mass-link media, meaning link ALL of the audio at once, as opposed to linking individual clips one-by-one?

Yes. Most of the audio clips are (or should be) connected to corresponding video files; meaning they are production tracks.

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

RAID DRIVE WON'T WORK IN LINK MEDIA BROWSER

I have a RAID 5 drive connected to my MACPRO (MacPro5,1), OSX 10.9.2. Its working fine on OS. In Premiere Pro CC I can import files from it no problem, everything seems to be fine until I try to link media from it. The link media browser won't access it. I can see it, I can see the RAID drives icon, but it won't access the files.
In the link media browser it won't show on the Local Drives list on the left pane. When I double click on local drives, on the right pane I can see the RAID HD icon, but when I click on it it won't open it. It knows its there but can't access it. I don't get it. I can import files from it, etc, but not link files. I would have to redo the whole sequence with files from that RAID drive and its days of work.
I would appreciate enormously any help with this issue.

Adobe CC 2014 v8.1
iMac 27" 3.4GHz w/12GB Ram.
OS 10.9.5
OWC Mercutry ELite Pro Dual.

No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
Partition2 is the brand new partition.
Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.

Re linking Media

I have FCP 6.04 I am trying to relink media, I have a lot of media to relink and I can only relink one at a time. I have to highlight the clip and select relink to get it to work. How can I just select the entire timeline and select re link media? I have tried highlighting all the clips that need relinking and it still only lets me relink one at a time. anyone have this problem before?

thanks but I don't remember seeing that option RECONNECT ALL FILES IN RELATIVE PATH, where is that option located on the tool bar? or is it in settings?

Why are my clip markers not saved?

I'm using PE 9. My clip markers are not getting saved.
1) Open a blank test project.
2) Select Organize \ Media.
3) Double-click one of the clips, and the preview window opens with the clip.
4) I move the Current-time Indicator to the point I want a clip marker.
5) Click (menu) Clip \ Set Clip Marker \ Next Available Numbered.
6) When I move the Current-time Indicator away from that location I can see the marker is visibly there.
7) I also set In and Out markers.
My understand (from what little documentation exists) is that that is enough to persist clip markers on that clip, for all future projects that include that clip. However, as soon as I close that clip, all markers are lost forever. I can reopen it (from organize \ media) and see no markers. I can also add it to a timeline, and still there are no markers. The only way I can get markers to save is to add the clip to a timeline, place markers in the timeline, and save the project. This is not supposed to be necessary according to the docs.
As far as I can tell there is no "save" action needed to persist markers, and saving the project seems inappropriate, but I save it anyway out of desperate frustration.
What am I doing wrong?

Neale, thank you again.
Here's one of many references that distinguishes between source clip-marks and instance clip-marks specifically for PE9 (also referenced in many other versions of PE): http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/9.0/Using/WSC22A9AEC-AB3F-4fbc-9F00-F0CBFC211 4CF.html
The image below is of my entire desktop with some scribble added. You can see 3 source clip marks on the preview window (NOT the project timelene which has many more). No matter what I do, those 3 clipmarks will be lost the moment I close the preview window.

Link Media Problem

Hello,
I'm working on a project in CS6 (and using the trial version temporarily) and for some reason all the clips from certain sequences have gone offline (any reason as to how/why this has happened would also be appreciated!).
I'm attempting to re-establish the clips by selecting Project>Link Media, but "Link Media" can't be selected. Any ideas as to why this is?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for the responses.
I did get the ''where is the file ___'' message, which allowed me to locate other clips, but frustratingly for footage in certain sequences I was not provided with this option, as if the program did not recognise that these clips are now offline.
I've opened the most recent ''copy'' version of the project and these sequences are intact there, though I've done a full day's work on the project since then.
The only thing I can think of that could have caused this was changing eSATA ports on the external drives I'm editing with - though after testing it appears the drive letters are fixed so I'm perplexed as to why this happened.
So there is possibly a lack of the Link Media function on the trial version? And it appears that I would have to manually link each clip even if this function was available? Its a large project so this is a horrifying prospect! If there's any way to automate linking clips in the fashion of the ''where is the file ___'' message I would be very glad to hear of it. Thanks again...

Premiere crashes when linking media

Hi there,
Premiere crashes almost every time I try to link media. The project file is on the computer's C drive, which has 1TB spare, the graphics card is using its latest driver and the machine is almost brand new. The media is 4K RED files on 2TB USB 3 drives. The project also has some old incarnations of the project subsumed in it via imports.
Please find the PC specs here:
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
16GB RAM
i7 4790 processor
NVIDIA GTX 760
If I can provide any additional information please let me know.
Any thoughts are hugely appreciated.
Thanks....

The newest versions of PrPro come with some apparently major code changes, especially how they apply some of the effects. In other words, the "apparent" effect is just the same, but the code to create that (and what it's **** behind the curtain) is apparently different, some things like that (much surmise here). The result is not all steps of all previous projects come "forward" properly. The footage, yes; the project's settings and effects, maybe, maybe not so well.
Kevin Monahan, staffer that frequents this forum and is EXCEPTIONALLY helpful here ... is a man of many years experience in pro video. He was a certified expert and trainer on FCP I believe years ago, actually on the design team for a version or so, and has done a lot of major editing work. He notes that no matter what anyone says about it, he ALWAYS taught the Bible of Pro Editing ... no project ever got updated software while in process. For the exceptions, a new project file would be created in the newer software version, then each asset or group of similar assets got brought "forward" individually and tested for proper operations. After everything was working, THEN the project could officially take off in new software versions.
With so many continual projects these days, and with continual "upgrades" of software, this is a right b*tch to follow. But still wise. Especially as a project nears completion, it's wise to leave it in whatever version it's in. For someone like me who's got one machine for all editing purposes, going back and forth between software versions is a much bigger pain than say if I had a pair of editing machines, one running newest, one just back a bit, and then leap-frog them as things move forward. There's also cloning and swapping discs as a way to change software ... and of course CS6 and any one of the CC versions can co-exist on the same machine "live" at any time. Multiple CC versions ... no. Only one CC version at a time.
USB3 may not be the reason for your crashes, but it could be part of the chain of events. The newest versions of PrPro as noted are heavier apps than before, demanding more resources ... and for that demand, capable of new tricks. Some of the Old Things they actually do differently, so what was once able to run the older versions has nothing to do with being able to run here & now. It's an unfortunate part of modern life with these blamed computer tools. One that someone like me operating on a rather smaller hardware budget than many of the folks who post here do finds ... difficult, rather challenging ... but there it is.
One suggestion ... when migrating a project or it's assorted bits & pieces "forward" ... I do suggest copying any assets no matter what they are (sequences, stills/graphics, footage, sub-clips, anything) into new folders created for that new project, then importing them into the project as you copy them forward. Check out say, the footage scrubbed in the source monitor or what not ... the sequences individually scrubbed on the timeline, that sort of thing. If you hit a glitch it's easy to know what that glitch is related to rather than hunting through gigs of project stuff to find one dang frame or subclip or effect that's killing the whole thing.

Premiere Pro CC's "Link Media" is not finding .R3D footage in separate folders

Hi, Gang.
I have FCP .XML files for 5 reels of a feature film using 4k R3D footage. When I import these into PPCC on my PC, all of the footage is missing - understandably so because the drive name is different, etc..
When I use Link Media to associate the files, I have all of the check boxes checked, but it still only Locates the one requested file and doen't locate any other media files even though they are in
a neighboring sub-folder. Let me explain the file tree:
[8tb drive] -[EDLs]
                 -[QT ref videos]
                 -[R3D Camera Files]   -[REEL1AB]
                                                    -[REEL2AB]
                                                    -[REEL3AB]
                                                    -[REEL4AB]
                                                    -[REEL5AB]      -[A004_C006_0122KR.RDC]
                                                                             -[A011_C006_0123UR.RDC]
                                                                             -[A011_C011_0123DK.RDC]
                                                                             -[A011_C003_0124J8.RDC]
                                                                             -[A011_C007_0125WA.RDC]
                                                                             -[A011_C005_0125K5.RDC]     {A023_C005_0125K5_001.R3D, A023_C005_0125K5_002.R3D, A023_C005_0125K5_003.R3D, A023_C005_0125K5_004.R3D, etc.}
                                                                               (ETC.....)
When I point PPCC at the 1st segemented .R3D file, it links the media, but it doesn't link any media outside that source folder. Why can't I point LOCATE at the REEL5 folder and have it search all of the sub-folders for the unlinked media?
It looks like this should work, but it doesn't. Do I need to manually link every clip because of the folder structure?
Help me Obi-wan Adobe, you're my only hope.

Kevin et al,
Great news. The workflow at the head of the this thread is still awesome with Premiere Pro importing the FCP XML BECAUSE...
1) once I pointed at the first clip's location, PP found clips that starts with the same prefix letter grouping, so in the above example, finding A011_C003_0124J8.RDC, the remaining A011_
     files & folders were auto-linked. I did have to point at about 60 files, per reel, but that is a small price to pay compared to having to rebuild all of the reels from scratch and eyeballing everything else.
     (I decided to binge-watch the first 5 epsidoes of HELIX while linking files, so a WIN-WIN).
2) importing the XML, the entire timeline with every video layer was brought in with all of the clip positioning, scale, and speed info maintained including pan & scan keyframing.
3) I then import the PP project in AE for finishing; I simply change the Comp setting to [2048x1536, 1.33 aspect], scale the shots accordingly via simple math, compose titles & credits, swap in VFX,
     add head & tail leader, and export DPX for color.
I am very impressed with how PP was able to translate the XML for AE.
Cheers,

Link media

Hi all -
I am new to audition and I have been working on a radio piece. I accidentally had the razor tool set to cut all tracks at once, leaving me with a functional but mangled jumble of clips for my piece.
I was trying to rejoin the split pieces, but cannot. "Link media" is grayed out when I click two razored segments.
Is there any way to rejoin my butchered clips?
Thanks,
Tim

Delete all the waveform sections except one - and then drag the edges of it out (left and/or right) until the waveform is fully extended.
Hey presto - no edits!

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
