Media Managed projects audio i/o's have shifted

Trying to archive projects using Media Management has been enormously frustrating: crashing frequently, causing problems with hds being recognized, having to force quit on my mb pro.
Now I find that the projects have audio problems: the i/o's have shifted.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I guess a workaround would be to drag over the original audio, the files aren't that big, but all the effort I've put into MMing makes me think I should skip that process and just move all the original media used in the final sequence.
All the problems I'm having now have resurrected memories of a few years ago that I'd largely forgotten. These are the same problems that made me stop before.
FCP is a great app, but this part of it *****.

This board is full of people that are update crazy...
even when they have perfectly good working systems.
i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
firewire devices.
will take note of that from now on.
Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
running the update again with all firewire devices
unplugged.
While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
reset
again.
Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
-Press the Setup knob
-Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
-Press the Select knob
-Press the Value knob
-Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
back
in
-Power the interface back on
i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
see if that doesn't get you going.

cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

Media manage project duplication help

i want to use media manager to duplicate my project, & trim it down to just the timeline clips and place it on a 2nd external drive. i think i checked/unchecked all the logical squares off in Media Manager but when it went to work a dialog box appeared warning "this operation will permanently modify existing media files". how will it modify existing media files if i am just asking for it to trim the DUPLICATE? i want to make sure that nothing is altered in the existing project...i just want to have a trimmed backup. is this warning just a general/generic warning that applies to any media manager maneuver or do i have something to worry about if i hit the "continue" (instead of "abort") button?

I had the same problem recently. The media was ripped from DVD and imported. A look at the manual told me that to be able to reduce the clip size to only the required media certain conditions have to be met. My problem was that because the clips were imported they did not have an associated Reel Name. I set a reel name for each and bingo, the size went down.
Check you meet all the conditions for the process.

Trying to consolidate project with Media Manager but it's not working

I have a 3 minute final video that I want to consolidate with media manager. I would like to have it copy the portion of the clips I used plus 1 second handles. I have checked every appropriate box but it still will not create smaller clips. For example I have a 5 GB movie clip that I used about 4 seconds of in my final edit. Final Cut is still copying over the whole file into the new folder instead of just extracting the portion I used plus the handle. I have deselected the box referring to include master clips outside of selection.
I have gotten this to work before, is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Robert,
Media Manager has a few quarks (you've no doubt noticed!). The two biggest that I've noticed are:
CUTS MADE IN TIMELINE OF SEQUENCE
Once a larger clip is loaded into a sequence, and cuts are made to it within the sequence Media Manager loses track of the the missing middle parts. For instance if you load an hour long clip into a sequence. Make a cut at 5 minutes and a cut at 55 minutes, then delete the middle 50 minutes and slide the two cuts together; Media Manager should represent that only 10 minutes would be retained when "deleted unused media is selected." Instead, it will think the entire cut is still being used.
*To solve this: "Select All" cuts in the sequence, then right click and select "Make Clip Independent"*
CUTS WITH SPEED CHANGES
The other issue with Media Manager, cuts that have speed changes (anything other 100%) may not reconnect correctly in the new consolidated sequence. This has been a long time problem and has gotten much better in version 6. However, it still has some weirdness...
*To solve this: "Make sure you add some amount of handle. I use 1 sec and it seems to work on larger complex projects."*
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Audio/Video Out of Sync While Using Media Manager

While viewing most video files through Media Manager, the audio is a fraction behind the video. It is not significant but it is noticeable. I have looked at the Media Manager sticky but the posts are on all different areas where the Media Manager is flawed.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue? I may just go back to using my original set-up. It's very surprising how bad this application is. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi mhiggins8450, I just read your post about the trouble you're having with the Media Manager. Have you had this problem since installing the software or has this issue just started recently? If it's been a problem since the beginning, you may want to look at removing the software and reinstalling a fresh copy. The newest version can be found at:
http://www.verizon.com/mediamanager
If it's a problem that just started happening, you may want to try and reset the units. The best way to do this would be to power down your PC, unplug the router and unplug your STB. Leave everything unplugged for five minutes. From this point, plug the router back in and wait for it to boot up (the Internet light will go GREEN when it's complete). Now plug the STB back in and wait for the time to display on the front of the box. Now turn your PC back on. Test the Media Manager and see what happens.
If you're still having troubles, please don't hesitate to re-post or send me a direct message.
Thanks!

FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

Hi!
We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
Thank you!

Hi! And thanx for the tip.
But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

What is the problem with Roxio Media Manager??

I purchased my first Blackberry 8310 Curve on Black Friday. For some reason the Blackberry Desktop Manager installs and works absolutely fine. However when I open the media manager from Roxio the screen freezes and it doesn't even show my device. I have uninstalled cleanly and re-installed over a dozen times and can't get it to work. We also went and bought an updated graphics and sound card and have installed them. The Roxio media manager STILL freezes up and we have to shut it down.
I do a lot of Paintshop Pro and have those programs as well as other graphics software. I'm wondering if it is a software conflict? I don't see one. Or if the Roxio is a POS as someone posted before.
I have spent hours and hours reading everything I can online about it and can not find an answer anywhere. The main reason that I want the Media Manager is that I want to make my own ringtones....that's it! The rest I can do without it. Does the BB media manager have the capability to make ringtones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Media Manager Problems in FCP--Need Help Quick!

I'm trying to package my short film to send to a color corrector. He wants it packed by "Media Manager," but whenever I try it, it keeps saying "Error, the specified file is locked." Help?

He probably just wants the sequence media managed, creating a new fcp project with just this sequence included. Media manager usually requires all sources to have reel names assigned to them. If you brought any material in digitally (graphic files, quicktimes, etc), you will need to add reel names for these files in the browser. Once that's done, make sure the sequence is selected in the browser and go to file: Media Manager. Choose Copy Delete unused media from duplicated items and Duplicate selected items and place into a new project. Questions? You could post back or perhaps read the appropriate sections of the manual - or talk to your colorist.

Media Manager 9.6.12 won't run; insists that I "upgrade" to same version, refuses to run

Every time I run Media Manager, an Upgrade window appears with the options to "Quit" or "Upgrade".
I can't use Media Manager because I can't dismiss this upgrade box without selecting one of those two buttons.
- Clicking "Quit" exists the upgrade application and Media Manager completely,
- Clicking "Upgrade" closes Media Manager and launches "Verizon Media Manager-9.6.12 Setup", with the options to Repair or Remove.
I've repaired the installation several times with no errors, but every time Media Manager launches, this process starts again (with the modal Upgrade window). I've completely uninstalled Media Manager (both through the Upgrade app and via Add/Remove Programs) and reinstalled it from a fresh download. I've rebooted at every opportunity along the upgrade and remove/reinstall paths. The results are always the same: double-click Media Manager, it loads, it says I have to upgrade or quit.
I'm running on a fully patched XPsp3 machine. The only other apps on this box are Panda Cloud Antivirus, TRENDnet SecureView (IP camera montior), PerfectDisk (defragger), and an [inactive] installation of Cerberus FTP Server. The machine also serves as a VPN gateway into my home network (via built-in XP services, nothing 3rd party). Besides periodic updates, no programs have been added or removed in at least two years.
The problem likely started sometime within the past few months; I just noticed it I recently when I went to check the PC's status.
Suggestions?

I haven't other reports of this happening. Are you able to successfully install and use it on other machines in the house? It sounds like there is something interacting with it causing problems which we would need to isolate programs one by one to find which is the offending program.

Problem with Roxio Media Manager - Desparate for an answer

In order to get my Roxio Media Manager to work. Do I need to have access to the browser on my BB8300 Curve. I am not subscribing to the internet on my BB but I do on my computer. Could that be the reason why my Media manager is not working properly? I am desparate for an answer since I have photos on my Blackberry that I need edit and and sent off. What good is the camera if I can't take the photos off of it? I have tried uninstalling the software and then re-installing it. I still can't get the Media Manager to appear in Roxio. The one time I did get it to work, I start getting Runtime errors when I tried to bring up Media manager. Please help..All the rest of the icons..back/up, synch, etc is appearing..just can't get the Roxio Media manager to appear now.

Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, plug your BlackBerry in and enable Mass Storage Mode. Then just access the memory card from Windows Explorer. For what you want to do Roxio is overkill, and complicated.

Re: Roxio Media Manager

Hi everyone... I am new to blackberry and I wanted to know if anyone knows how I can get the Roxio Media Manager on my phone. I have a blackberry curve. I have the media manager icon on my phone. I can download ringtones from the cell phone but I do not know how to download video clips or songs.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
S.

hello, AFAIK the Roxio Media Manager is a desktop application (Windows). You can get it for free on the Blackberry website : you just go to the download sections and select "Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.5 with Media Manager".
Once you have installed it, you have to set it up and then you can transfer files from your PC to tour Blackberry. In the process, you can of course convert your video (MPEG4, divx, MPEG and so on) to an optimized version for your Blackberry.

Why javax.media.Manager has no constructor?

I don't get why it's ok to call javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(), for example, and not have to create a new instance of it.

Media Manager - H.264 & Pro Res

I was trying to media manage a sequence today without much luck.
When it was managed, instead of just taking the sections I had used in the edit, it had placed all the clips in their entirety into the managed folder (I had wondered why a 2 minute video was 31GB in size).
Same settings I always use but checked them several times several times to make sure.
Only 2 differences in my workflow
1. ProRes (usually we use XD Cam EX footage but can't see why that would change anything)
2. ProRes from H.264 files shot on a Eos D5, encoded using Mpeg stream clip.
Does anyone know of any issues Media Managing from this format.
One of my other editors here has had exactly the same problem, again with ProRes from H264.
As always, thanks in advance.

Hey Shane, Not sure this is still true. I've media managed a couple of projects recently that included digital files without reel numbers and FCP seemed to handle them ok (unless of course I had a senior moment). Of course, I always test the integrity of a media managed project before deleting any of the original material.

Reconnecting Audio Files after Media Manager

Please forgive me if this has been covered before, but I'm not seeing a specific answer to the issue I'm having. I recently decided to do some cleanup on my machine, and used Media Manager to backup a project. When I reopened that project a TON of the files were no longer connected, and I've had to dig through the computer and reconnect them one at a time. The issue I am having now is with the audio files that exist in FCP as STAP files. I can find the stap files, but they are no reconnecting properly. I've tried to just simply re-render the audio, but it just comes out blank. Here is a screen capture of what I'm seeing. http://www.moorecreativedesign.com/FCP_Capture.jpg - Also If I try to right-click and "open in editor" it gives me an Unknown File error.
Message was edited by: jesmo71

I think the problem is that the .STAP file are SoundTrackPro project files, which look for the original audio files.
But I guess you removed them or at least removed the disc they are on.
That's why they render empty.
Media Manager doens't work on SoundtrackPro files (or Motion files for that matter). The proper way to handle these situations is
either export selfcontained movies from Motion, or audiofiles from SoundtrackPro and edit those in your timeline and THEN do the Media Manager,
or backup your Motion Projects and SoundtrackPro projects with all their assets along with the Media Management from FCP.
A nice [feauture request|http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html] would be to have Media Managaer handle all assets from the Final Cut Studio Suite.

When I use media manager to upres clip audio goes out of sync

I captured a clip and put it in DVNTSC 48kHz timeline at OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG) then used the media manager to create a new sequence at full DV NTSC 48kHz res. I choose "Create offline", "set sequences to DV NTSC 48 kHz", and check all the boxes. I save a new project, open the new timeline and recapture the clip. The video looks great--it recaptures in full DVNTSC 48kHz res. But the audio is out of sync (by about 28 frames it looks like). What am I doing wrong? (This is the first time I'm trying this offline-then-online-process.) thanks.

Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
Hope this helps.

Audio out of sync after media managing?

Hey! I have an interesting blip in the software found after I media managed a project of mine. Here is how I media managed the program:
Copy media referenced by duplicated items
Include render files
Include master clips outide selectin
Delete unused media from duplicated items
Use handles of 1 sec.
Include afiliate clips outside selection
Base media file names on exisiting names
Duplicate selected items and place in a new project but not including nonactive multiclip angles.
and I ended up getting something really interesting.
On some of my media clips, the audio associated with it had small blue bars across the top of each of the two audio channels. When an audio clip had one of these bars more often than not it only started halfway down the clip. At that point, when playing the clip from the beginning the audio would restart from the beginning of the clip again. It looks scary at first, but all that I did was control click (right click) on the clip and "remove attributes." We don't have any affects associated with these clips so nothing under the Remove Attributes box was checked, but I just clicked "OK" which seemed to effectivly refresh the clip and the audio was perfect again.
So, I'm wondering why it did this, and what I can do to avoid it doing this in the future. I'm about ready to move on to a new job and would like to figure out how to avoid it or know if I need to write up a little something for the next person in this position to know how to deal with it and not to freak out!
Thanks!
Heather
