Markers on clips don't move with project when switching media drives

Here's an odd one. I'm editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 and in order to avoid carrying drives back and forth between two editing locations, I cloned the footage drive and have one duplicate drive in each location. I'll call them location A and B.
I have no problem relinking clips when I move back and forth from location to location. That's all working great, as expected.
When I am reviewing clips at edit location A, I've been placing a marker on the hero moments to make them easier to find later when editing. The strange (or perhaps perfectly normal) thing is that when I move to edit location B and relink the clips, all of my markers that I made at location A are gone.
The same thing happens when creating markers on clips at location B. When I move to location A, the markers made at location A are there, but the new ones added at B are gone... until I return to location B.
In other words, it seems like markers are not saved as part of the project, but are saved within each clip file. If that's true, what I'm experiencing would make sense. Even though I'm relinking the clips when I change edit locations, the markers are part of the footage files on each of my duplicate drives and do not move with me when I change locations.
I just wanted to confirm this is "how premiere pro works," or see if there is a preference checkbox or workaround I'm not aware of. Maybe I've found a bug? If this is just how it is, I'll have to come up with an alternate way to mark footage I'm reviewing, or just move the drives with me when I move, which I'd love to avoid.
Thanks for any thoughs on this anyone has.

Wes, my deepest apoligies for not responding to your kind answer sooner. I had moved on, thinking it was just one of those things, until another editor colleague of mine, found my original question recently and emailed me to find out if there was a solution.
It appears that even with Premiere Pro CC, copying the XMP sidecar files to the second media drive remains the answer. Sadly my editor friend did most of his pre-edit clip marking in one city and traveled several states away to begin the edit and when he arrived, all of his marks were, of course, not there.
It would be great if somehow the metadata could be tied to the project, rather than the sidecar XMP files. Perhaps not technically feesible, but it would certainly make more sense from an editing standpoint to not have to be copying sidecar files every time you move to a edit location with duplicate media drives.
I will most likely write a feature request to see if this can be achived in future versions of Premiere.
Thanks again for your support and reply.
Billy

  • Problems with project when switched from Labview 8.2.1 to Labview 10

    Hi everyone,
    I recently switched from Labview 8.2.1 to Labview 10.
    Before I can run the project I get the error which you can see in the attachment.
    (The project is running well in Labview 8.2.1)
    I did already check if variables end with a space, but none of them are.
    The variables are also without any slashes, so that couldn't be the problem either.
    Does anybody has any idea what the problem can be, please let me know.
    I hope to hear from some of you soon.
    Regards,
    Kenny

    Your other post in the other thread indicates you've looked at that thread. Based on that have you checked your variable names to see if any of them are multi-line? The error message is basically telling you that you have illegal characters. A carriage return (\r) or a new line (\n) is an illegal character.

  • How do I move a project from an external drive back into Imovie

    I recently bought an Iomega external hard drive to store documentary movies so that I wouldn't jam up my Imac's free space. However, after I moved an imovie/idvd project to it, and wanted to make changes, I could not move the project back into the Imac's drive. (It also would not burn from the external, giving me a multiplex error) When I tried to move the movie back into Imovie on the Imac it said Quicktime couldn't parse it. I saw various posts about parsing, but not about specifically about moving a project from an external drive. Can anyone offer any suggestions? It seems to me that I should be able to move a project back and forth without that much trouble.

    Sounds like you have a DVD format (MPEG-2) and not an iMovie Project file.
    The key phrases are "multiplex" and "parse". Both suggest MPEG-2 format when opened in QuickTime. It would also throw an error -2048 message if MPEG-2.
    But another issue could be the file format of the external drive. Most ship pre-formatted for the Windows OS's but a Mac user should format using HFS+ (and others). If you didn't format the drive before moving the large iMovie Project onto it it may have become severely fragmented if the external used FAT 16 or FAT 32 (very common) formats. They have a 2 or 4 GB file size limit, respectively and would have made your Project unreadable when moved back and forth.
    Use the Disk Utility app to find out the format of your external drive.

  • Clips don't belong in project

    I am putting together a video for the seniors in my school. It is made up of video clips and still images. Every time I open the video to work on it, I get a message that says I have 60 clips that do not belong in this project. It even gives me a list of their titles. They are all photos that are most definitely in the video right now. It always asks if I want to trash the 60 clips. I have been hesitant to do that. I am concerned that suddenly all 60 photos might disappear from the senior video. Can someone shed some light on why this is happening?
    Thanks!
    Robert

    Robert, does the project reside on an external hard drive? If so, check to be sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended. If it's not that format, iMovie cannot properly save changes to the disk. That can cause the symptoms you describe.
    The problem could also be caused by corruption that sometimes occurs after emptying the iMovie trash. One form of this corruption is that iMovie "forgets" clips on the Timeline. As a result, iMovie doesn't recognize those files in the Media folder. When you open the project, iMovie asks about them.
    Whatever is going on probably isn't good. And depending on what that is, you could lose some stuff. Each time we save in iMovie, it automatically discards files the project no longer needs. It may decide to discard these files on its own.
    So before doing anything, make a backup of the entire project folder so if problems worsen, you don't lose stuff. Use the Finder's Duplicate command to duplicate the entire project folder.
    The files that it is asking about may be the still image files you imported to the project. It may not hurt anything to lose those, but you won't be able to re-edit them. Not a big deal. My guess is you've already lost the ability to re-edit them or iMovie wouldn't be asking. You might try discarding them to see what happens, and revert to the backup if bad things happen. My guess is the roof won't fall in and you'll be able to finish the project.

  • I want to save my movies and projects on an external drive

    Does anyone know how I can change the settings on imovie to save imported movies into an external disk? When you ase asked to select where to save the movies, it only gives me the option to save on my Mac HD and if you move the clips then you can't use your projects any more.
    I don't want to take up all the space on my Mac and I like to save everything to a external disk. I do this with itunes and iphoto, so I can't see why I can't do this with imovie.
    I am a new user, any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome ssnyder to the  iMovie boards ...
    step1) purchase an external harddrive
    step2) launch Utilities/Disk Utility, select new drive, choose Erase, choose Mac/hfs as format
    step3) .. no step 3, new and formatted drive will be noticed by iM automatically; when creating New Event, it will allow you to import straight to ext. HDD. iM also allows to 'drag n drop' existing Events from internal to external drive without loss of connection to projects.

  • Trying to move film project between external firewire drives HELP!

    i have a film project that i've been working on and all of the media files and the project file are on one external firewire drive. I want to move the film project to a different, smaller and more transportable firewire drive, however, when i use the media manager to make a copy of the project on the second external drive, when i try to open the new project, it uses only approximate outpoints of the clips in the sequence and all my editting work is pretty much lost. is there a way to preserve my editted outpoints? please help! thanks, jkkjnz

    the clips all have names. 01_01 until 01_85 or so and 02_01 until 02_52 or so. when the cop of the project is finishing up, a series of error messages appear which say "an unknown error occured while trying to reconnect clip 02_12 [for example] to the copied file". Then, when i try to reconnect the media from the new project, it says specifically for some clips, "02_09 does not have enough media content to reconnect clip in Sequence 1" and then after a list of similar messages, it says "one or more files did not have enough media to reconnect some clips. some edited clip items have had their outpoints adjusted." grrrr...

  • What's the best way to move a project from my hard drive to someone else's hard drive?

    I've read lots of related discussions concerning problems after copying/importing/whatever, so I want to avoid those.  I have worked on a project since its inception.  It is currently in RoboHelp 8 HTML with several dozen LINKED Word documents and a couple of PDFs.Someone else is about to take over maintenance.  What's the recommended sequence, please?

    Assuming the project is not under any form of source control, simply copy the source to a shared drive and let your colleague know when it is available. Just make sure they copy it to a local drive before they edit anything.

  • Flex2 (beta3) apps don't work with Firefox when browser scrollbars appear

    I ran into a very strange situation where my flex2 (beta2 and
    beta3) application is big enough to cause browser scrollbars to
    appear. In such a case, if I scroll the browser, then all button
    controls in the flex2 app can not listen to mouse events any more.
    I found this problem with Firefox (v1.5) in Windows XP. IE in XP is
    perfectly fine. Below is the code, simple enough to illustrate my
    situation. To test, please compile the first file into test.swf,
    and then access test.html form Firefox. Thanks.

    well i can say in dark,, many have done this solution, if its
    right even for u
    just clear ur cache using the ASO zip file available on

  • How to create iPad-ready movie with chapters In PP & media encoder

    Is there a tutorial to do this?  I've seen it mentioned a number of times related to the "end of life" for Encore, but can't find anything in my Media Encoder nor Premier Pro CC to indicate how to do it.
    Thx...jw

    Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
    If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
    What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
    Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
    Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there
    Thanks

    Problem 1. I won a ITunes gift card recently and set up a account and downloaded some music. Now the I just learned the file type cannot be played through Realplayer or Windows Media Player that are on my desktop nor can the tracks be put on to my MP3 player. I have deauthorized my computer and still no luck. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can do so I can do what I mentioned above? If so what?
    Problem 2 - If there is no way to covert the music who do I get contact and how to go about getting a refund for the tracks purchased.
    Problem 3 - Sorta linked with #2 Once I get my refund applied to my account is there away for me to cancel my account and or transfer it to a person that does have a IPOD or is able to play Itumes files on their desktop?
    Thanxs in advance.

  • Phones don't boot with certain ios switch cmds

    During a new 4.1.3 call mgr install, 7961 phones hung during bootup. Had to remove the followimg cmds from the 3750 stacks to get them to boot:
    Removed ip verify source from each interface
    Removed ip arp inspection ?vlan info? from global config
    Removed ip dhcp snooping ?vlan info? from global config
    Since then, the phone loads have been upgraded to 8.0.4.sr1 and all seems well. I's like to tell customer that the new load fixed the problem, but I have yet to see anything about it in the release notes.
    Has anyone run into this ?
    Rob

    I had a similar problem on 6509 switches with some 7.X.X phone load, but did not get a chance to upgrade the loads. Every new phone when connected to the network for the first time would get stuck in "Configuring IP".
    Two workarounds:
    1. "clear ip dhcp snooping binding"
    2. Factory Reset the IP Phone
