Media browser has no directory structure

Hi,
probably a pretty dumb question, but here's my problem:
the media browser in PrPro CS6 worked fine untill yesterday, now it doesn't display the directory structure in the left pane anymore. I can still reach the required directories through a shortcut to the media drive on the desktop, but I want to switch easily between directories as my footage is in different places. Also, the recent directories in the menu are missing.
Is there some way to reset the media browser? Am I missing a simple thing?
Thanks in advance, it'll probably be a simple solution...
Nils

Do I need the entire tree (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD)?
Or do I only need CLIPINF and STREAM?
What's in CLIPINF? The one thing I care most is timestamp.
Also, if I cut the mts file (making it shorter), will CPI file needs to be updated?
Thanks!

ILife media browser has incorrect date for Aperture photos

It looks like the iLife media browser use the date a preview was created as the date in the iLife media browser. Photos from the iPhoto library have the date the photo was taken.
(A list view with file name, date and file size is available from a control click.)

I got this to work by dragging a project out of my blue folders (it then showed up in iLife media browser), then I went back into Aperture, dragged it into the blue folder again, and quit Aperture. Just before quite Aperture updated the iLife preview exports and all of my blue folders and projects showed up in the Media Browser! Somehow dragging a project out and back in seemed to kick start the folder search.

Media browser has no photos in 4.3

Did the new Photos app break the media browser in Pages 4.3? I no longer see any photos, only Photo Booth is listed in the Photos tab. I tried rebooting my system, but nothing appears. Anyone else experiencing this?

The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

Graphics Interface for browsing through local directory structure

Hi ... Friends,
Is there a way in Forms 4.5 under Windows 95 for providing a graphical interface to the user for browsing through his local disk and associated files and directories?
Something like the window we get when we File -> Open in any windows application, which allows the user to open a file ...

Hi, Abhijit
The function win_api_dialog.open_file might be what you're looking for.
It's included in the d2kwutil.pll, which is part of Forms Demos.
Hope this helps,

Anyone know what 'Invalid directory structure ' means?

Hi
I am trying to solve a problem with some P2 media I am trying to import from external hard drive to FCP 5.1.2.
I have 21 reels of it - all labeled in a similar way - but only one (of the 21) isn't importing and gives me the following warning (from FCP).
"name of my folder/ reel" has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media.
I suppose it has something to do with my folder/ directory not matching the contents (for some reason) but how can I correct this?
Thanks

Archive and install would be the only advice I could give at this time, It's missing a critical leopard file.

Invalid directory structure

Hi
+"CANON" has invalid directory structure ..+ I'm working on FCP 6.0 and I get that message during Log and Transfer. The CANON directory is on the camera CANON HF100.
I have two iMac 5.1 with FCP 6.0 on the other iMac there is no problem. Plug in the camera open Log and Transfer and the "CANON" comes up with all clips.
Settings in FCP is the same - as I see them
Been reading and testing for hours. Any hint?

Just testing. Media backup not so important. Problem solved. I made a software update

LOG AND TRANSFER [invalid directory structure warning]

I have just learned to use media manager and have cleaned out and archived some of my p2 and projects in FCP. I went to log and transfer some footage and am getting the message.
"This file has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media??
PREVIOUSLY, before I became familiar with media manger, I had gone through files, P2 contents files and taken out some audio files that i know I didn't use. I discovered this is a mistake and returned all files but one to their appropriate contents files. One of them, I couldn't find where it came from so I just took it out of the trash and placed it on the source hardrive where all my P2 footage is stored.
Is this lone audio file causing the warning message? Please help.

Shane, out local P2 wonk, will chime in if he's dealt with this but you need to talk to Panasonic.

Media Browser not working

Hi, I'm using CS5.5 trial version on a dell that has previously been used to make good quality films. The Media Browser has stopped working. When I double click it shows a list of my media, when I then double click to open a file an arrow at the start points downwards and a sub-folder opens but then nothing. When I double click, the arrows just points horizontally, if a double click again again just the arrow moves. The Browser has worked previously and I have been working round it, importing but through other means, but I need to import using the media browser, also there are files missing from the browser list, most particularly audio. any ideas on how to rectify?
Sandy

Select the clips you want to import, then right click and choose Import.

Media Browser contents won't refresh and update

I'm using Keynote '09. I am using the Media Browser to add photos from within my iPhoto library to my slides. I have a number of albums--many are smart albums--that don't seem to be refreshing as the iPhoto content changes. It was updating fine last night, but today the content remains stagnant even as the iPhoto version changes.
Any idea of a way to force the Media Browser to refresh itself to reflect the changes that are happening in iPhoto? iPhoto is version 8.1.2.

I have a similar issue with the Media Browser, assuming we are talking about the same thing.
I am referring to the feature within an "Open" dialog/window, such as when I am picking a file to attach to an email, or picking a photo or movie clip to include in a keynote presentation etc. There is a pane on the left of the window lists a number of locations on my computer. One of these options is MEDIA, which expands to Music, Photos, and Movies.
When I attempt to select photos while performing tasks such as those I listed, I notice that there are events missing. In fact, the events correspond to the latest few imports into iPhoto. To be clear, the photos are accounted for in a few new events within iPhoto; however, these events are absent in the Media Browser.
As far as I can tell the Media Browser has "refreshed" my Music and Movies, but the Photos portion is not updating / not synchronizing with iPhoto.

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
Regards
TD

when i try log transfer from a sony nex-vg10 but my buddy can do it with no problem on my cam an mac

If you copy the recordings from AVCHD cameras, you must copy the entire storage device with its directory structure intact.
I have even tried copying BACK files onto the camera and they do not show up in the transfer window under the last clip.
There is no information for those clips in the AVCHD storage device's directory index files. That means there is no way for the computer to find them.
Your last resort is most likely [ClipWrap|http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap] now, unless you can get the storage device exactly back into the state it is supposed to be according to the index file.

Help! "Contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure"

I have FCP 7 and I'm trying to Log and Transfer HD video recorded on a Canon 5D. I keep getting "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure."
Any idea's?

Okay... I'm still getting the same message.
This is what I'm seeing...

"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or had an invalid directory structure

"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or had an invalid directory structure
I brought this error message upon myself... and am looking for a way to recover the files and access them in Final Cut Express. I have successfully processed video in the past.... so it's operator error.
How did I mess it up? By treating my video files the same way as I treat my jpg files.... Creating a new folder for each day's shooting, and simply moving the files into the folder.
I preserved the CLIPINF and STREAM files.. but discard the the rest of the files.
I tried recreating the file structure but that hasn't seemed to work. I'll buy a new card, reformat it, and use that as a template for file structure, but that will take a few days.
So .. I have put the files into the following file structure, but that doesn't seem to work because I have tossed the other supporting files when I "cleaned up" my 8GB Flash Card.
AVCHD
BDMV
CLIPINF
00051.CPI
00052.CPI
00060.CPI
STREAM
00051.MTS
00052.MTS
00060.MTS
Have tried to recreate the file structure, but of course the contents of other files are incorrect
AVCHD
BDMV
CLIPINF
INDEX.BDM
MOVIEOBJ.BDM
PLAYLIST
STREAN
AVF_INFO
AVIN0001.BNP
AVIN0001.INP
AVIN0001.INT
So... my questions are simple:
1: Can I recreate the data and reindex the files from the STREAM and CLIPINF files?
2: If I can, how do I do it?
3: If I completely destroyed the integrity of my video... let me know that too.. I'll have lost 9 months of work... but it will keep me from screwing up the video on my next trip!
Thanks

This may or may not apply, but I recently had this problem as well and found a solution that fixed the camcorder back to its original settings, though it only works if 1) the camera worked with Log and Transfer at some point and 2) you are paranoid like me and saved your raw mts files.
Though I had been using the camera for about a month using Log & Transfer perfectly well I used the Finder to delete all the files, which I thought would be faster than using Delete All in the camcorder. When I turned the recording on the camera said it needed to reformat its Image Database, so I punched Yes. Then after I recorded the L&T window said invalid directory structure.
What I eventually did was drag the entire contents of the hard disk off into their own folder (with the date and the camera name) and then pulled an old copy I'd made of working movie files back onto the hard drive. Then I used the camcorder's Delete All function, and then dragged all the contents of the folders with my new footage into the corresponding folders of the camera's hard disk. I was once again able to use the L&T function (even with the old semi-corrupt data), and also any new footage I record is A-OK, even after the camera has asked me if it can (once again) reprogram the Image Database.
I can't explain it, but possibly there are hidden files connected to the files we can see (possibly viewable in the Terminal if you speak Linux) and when the camera comes from the factory they make it good and when the camera tries to do it on its own it doesn't work so well. In short, maybe the camera is a little unstable.

How do I set Home Directory in media browser?

I've tried everything.
How can I chose what directory wiill be my "Home Directory" in the media browser portion of my CS5 Prem Pro? I want to change it from the directory that it goes to when you click on Home Directory.
Assistance will be appreciated.

On a Mac fonts are set at Appearance in Preferences (Options)

Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

That is your answer then.
Large is 960x540
Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
Mobile is probably 480x272.
It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.
