Media Manager-Avoiding Subfolders

Does anyone know a way to cause Media Manager to not embed clips it copies into subfolders (ie: Media>Project Name)?
I would like it to simply copy selected clips directly into folders I designate without it always using extra folders. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris

No way to do this, but as long as the files are on the same drive, it's a quick drag from one folder to another after the MM is done...

Media Manager in Windows 8???

I just received a computer for the holidays with Windows 8.
On my old PC was Media Manager, which I used to use to stream my music in the overnight so I didn't have to do much with my PC. I installed Media Manager on my new computer and it keeps shutting down after so many entries into my library. I restart and come back to only half of my stuff loaded, and when I go to progress further than I was before it crashed out, it it comes back up with the crash again.
Did I do something wrong? Or is this just not compatible with Windows 8 just yet?

Let me better explain this part.
If I'm loading, using these bands and artists as an example, King Crimson and then try to load Rush, Media Manager crashes out into an error and shuts down. I bring it back up and it only has 4 of about 27 subfolders of Rush loaded in, and then when I add the remaining 23, it takes maybe 8 to 10 before it crashes again. Same thing when I load Ted Nugent and follow it up with The Who, and Yes just crashes my program out after one folder.
I never had this problem with Winows 7. I had the "Switch to..." window problem. You can't say that my library is too large, because I had over 2500 tunes in my library before and I was still adding.

Clip weirdness after Media Manager backup

Several of my clips have freaked out after the media manager backup. I'll have to go back to an autosave and see what exactly was on them, but definitely there was a modifed speed property and I think, a keyframed brightness filter.
Also had an issue with the burn, but once I get it redone, I'll check to see if there;s any other MM weirdness.
I'll have to re-edit the portions. What can i do to avoid this issue when backing up in the future, for speed modified, layered clips?

I feel for ya...
Let's say I was doing the Smith Wedding...2 cameras, 2 tapes each camera. And since I've maybe done 3 previous weddings with a total of 10 tapes used, I'll keep a dedicated naming convention for wedding tapes, (since I may do other type event work)...such as WED001, WED002, WED003...etc.
So for this project my REEL names will be:
WED011C1T1_Smithmmddyy
WED012C1T2_Smithmmddyy
WED013C2T1_Smithmmddyy
WED014C2T2_Smithmmddyy
Then for tape 1 from cam 1 (which has pre-event Broll and Interviews), I'd set in/outs for each clip with names like:
WED011C1T1_SmithBarbIntv
WED011C1T1_SmithBarbHouseExtBR
WED011C1T1_SmithJoeIntv
WED011C1T1BarbJoeKissBR
WED011C1T1JoeDogBitesMomNLaw
ect...down the tape, hitting 'Log Clip' after each In/Out is set and making sure that Reel and Clip are properly named.
Then rewind tape, select all logged clips in browser except JoeDogBitesMomNLaw (since I really won't use it), select File/Batch Capture and away it goes, while I get coffee and check up on Barb's Mom.
Put in second Cam1 tape, lather, rinse, repeat.
This way,
1 - You can be totally selective about which shots you actually capture (saving disk space)
2 - You can always come back and 'batch capture' the JoeDogBitesMomNLaw clip, when you realize you actually might use it after all.
3 - Since you probably didn't man both cameras, you've now had a chance to familiarize yourself with the shots the 2nd camera had.
4 - You can now color code shots w/o having to break them up from master clips.

4.6 media manager VERY slow

Hello everyone!
I recently installed blackberry desktop manager with media manager 4.6 on my hp laptop and just even opening the media manager program let alone doing anything takes 5-8+ minutes for it to do anything. And even just starting the media manager i want to go make a sandwich and come back. I really have no idea what is going on with this. Everything else works just fine including the desktop manager and quick but for some reason the media manager just fails at life. I have tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it a few times and fully cleaning out the program from the comuter and that has not helped the problem at all. The computer definatly fast enough that it should eat this program in no time. The computer is a new dv7 that is brand new and just did a system recovery to brand new state with a p7350 intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz, 4 gb ram, 500gb hdd so I know that is not the speed of the PC causing it. One thing I did take notice is that when the blackberry is disconneted the program is almost usable the only thing that I might be able to think is that the program just hates vista 64 bit. Has anyone else experianced this problem and maybe know a way to fix it. and one other thing that I took notice that is a little strange when I click on media in desktop manager instead of being present with sync or media manager it goes and just opens the media manager. Any ideas anyone? Thank you in advance.

I avoid use of Roxio Media Manager.
It is not a well-written software. It is a buggy and non-reliable tool to work with media files.
I prefer to turn on "Mass storage mode support" in Options-Media card and transfer media files directly to my blackberry from desktop computer as an usb-drive.

Can't install or uninstall Desktop software and Roxio Media Manager has taken over

I had been having trouble with the Blackberry Desktop software crashing each time I closed it when I was done using it. This morning when I booted my computer I got an error message that said RoxWatchTray9 was unable to locate component. When I tried to close that box it attempted to install something but it just stalls. When I close try to cancel it just freezes. After while it tries to install again only to freeze again.
I figured the best solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the program but when I went into Add/Remove I discovered six listings for Blackberry Device Software for Blackberry 9530 smartphone, one for v5.0 and five for v4.7.0. I finally managed to uninstall the v5.0 at the top of the list but I can't remove the other five. I also can't reinstall the program. Roxio Media Manager continues attempting to force an install and is hogging my system resources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try this process (you might have to do step 2 multiple times for each instance of what is showing in add/remove programs):
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/WIN7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again. You might also want to avoid Media Manager unless you really really need it.
Good luck and let us know!

Media Manager run time error.

Need lots of help with Blackberry Desktop Manager. When I click on the "media manager" it starts Roxio but then I get a "run-time error message". Any help on that topic?
Then when I am registering or installing my software.........it asks me for a password, but won't let me use the one I am giving them. I am thinking that my son registered us a while back and he cannot remember the password he used. Any help on that topic?
Pretty overwhelmed. And need help!
Sincerely,

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!

16bit uncompressed video files to large what media manager setting is best

Hi all,
I am working with some uncompressed video clips they come in at 25 gb a clip. These are profesional animation clips I am looking to save some disk space and still get near the same quality. I am editing the clips for mobile use so i need to start with a high quality master. any suggestions for what settings i should use with media manager.
Thanks

Why .avi?
Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files.
The video card in your MacBook Pro will be fine. The way to avoid rendering is to make sure that your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings match your source material.

Media Manager won't detect device!

I have a blackberry 7230, and it is detected fine by the desktop manager but that media manager crap (god I hate Roxio) doesnt detect anything.
I've tried reinstalling, tried installing it before desktop desktop manager, but no luck.
Even tried installing it on a different PC, what could be the problem?

I use Desktop Manager 4.3 with Roxio Manager. It has the lastest version of Roxio Manager in which you can move or copy files from desktop to the exandable memory AND the blackberry internal memory. But you may need to get at least the 4.2 OS for blackberry. I have the Blackberry Curve and I am able to transfer files from desktop to internal memory via Roxio without any problems.
Be very careful though. The Blackberry only has 16 MB of memory, if you load a lot of big files it may corrupt other data on your blackberry and will definitely slow the device down. If I were you, I would upgrade to a blackberry that has expandable memory to avoid this. You can get 16 GB micro SD cards now, there is a HUGE difference between 16 MB and 16 GB!
Roxio Manger provides a warning for transferring large files to Blackberry internal memory and in fact imposes a limit which I believe is 2.83 MB.

Media Manager Abort/schizophrenia

I'm having problems moving clips from one (failing) RAID drive to a new (networked) RAID. I have tried to use Media Manager to shoot the clips over to the new drive but once it aborted halfway (leaving some clips on one drive, other clips on another drive) and then I tried again and it only copied about 1 out of 7 clips to the new location.
I have FCP Studio Pro 5 right now and am about to upgrade to FCP Studio 2, which I hear has a better Media Manager.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong when I use Media Manager and whether it would be easier to just move things in the Finder and then Reconnect Media rather than try to use the Media Manager and end up with a corrupted Final Cut file.
Thanks!
andrea

Welcome to the Forums.
I would drag on the FINDER level. I avoid the Media Manager whenever I can. Drag and then reconnect.
Good luck...sounds like that Raid is really on the way out.

Media Manager does not work

I have an 8700C. I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager V4.6.0.12 and I have V4.2.1.96 (Platform 2.3.0.79) OS installed on my device. When I go into the Media icon in Desktop Manager I have a split screen with Media Manager on the left and Blackberry Media Sync on the right. The Start button for Media Manager is grayed out. I installed Media Sync, was told to install iTunes, and then told my device is not supported for Media Sync. I have not been able to get Media manager to work since Desktop Manager version 4.1 or 4.2.

Hi and welcome to the forums,
I would recommend doing a clean uninstall of the DN v.6 with Media Manager,using the following:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Reboot the PC, and download and install DM 4.6 without the media manager. If you search the forums you will see that media manager is not very stable. Personally I use the drag and drop method through Windows (must have media card installed,) very quick and efficient.
Media sync is compatible with your phone and can be downloaded as a separate program here:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/media/mediasync.jsp
Media sync does work well with your music management. However, Itunes with DRM are not able to be transferred to the Blackberry.
Please let me know if you need any assistance!
Thanks

Media Manager does not appear on my second stb

I downloaded Verizon Media Manager and installed it without problems. When I checked my HD stb the program is listed and I could use it. I do not have any kind of recorder on the network. When I check my non HD stb the VMM does not appear. This is the unit I want to use as it will allow me to play music through the home theater sound system.
So, am I limited because I do not have a recorder or does the feature not work on non HD stb? If this is the case, I might as well delete the program from my PC.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi. I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately at this time, the standard def STBs do not work with Media Manager. It doesn't have to be a DVR, but the stb has to be an HD box. If you do not wish to upgrade the STD box at this time and depending on your setup, you can always swap the STBs and move the media manager functionality to where you want it.

FCP 6, Media Manager, DualEyes Problem

I've locked picture on a 90 minute feature and I'm trying to export the sequence to an external drive so our colorist can do the grading.
The camera original footage came from various Canon DSLRs. Some of the footage was transcoded (Pro Res 422 HQ) off site and delivered to me. But most of the footage, I transcoded myself, using log and transfer.
I highlight the sequence I want to export in the FCP browser, then right click, but when I click “Media Manager”, nothing happens. The little icon spins for a split second, then nothing.
The same thing happens if I try to open Media Manager from the top menu. Nothing. Won’t open.
Everything in the timeline plays just fine. Exporting the timeline as a self-contained or reference file works without any problem.
It seems Media Manager doesn't like certain clips in the timeline.
I went through the timeline one clip at a time and started to compare the clips MM had a problem with versus those it didn't have a problem with.
It seems the offending clips are all clips that were created in DualEyes, off site, to sync second system audio.
Clips that I synched here, on site, using PluralEyes, do not offend Media Manager.
I don't know that this matters, but...
The offending DualEyes-created files that were created off site include a single, merged file - a video track and three audio tracks (a pair of tracks from the second system audio, and a single track from the camera mic that was used for reference).
One last thing I tried to confirm it was the created-off-site DualEyes files that were keeping MM from working...
I imported two files, residing in the same folder on the HD.
File A had been synched using DualEyes. It has a video track and three audio tracks (one from camera mic, two from second system audio).
File B had not been synched (an MOS take). It has a video track and two audio tracks (camera mic).
I laid both clips in the timeline, next to each other.
If I right click on File A and then click Media Manager, I get an "Error 34" message.
If I right click on File B and then click Media Manager, Media Manager opens normally.
Any idea what's going on here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running...
Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
2.4GHz 8-Core MacPro
6 GB RAM
OSX 10.6.8
8TB G-Tech esPRO RAID 5 (4.8 TBs used)
Cheers,
Jeffrey

I have no idea why this problem is occuring, but you might try deleting the audio from your sequence before doing the media manage. You could then copy a mixed down track to the media managed sequence if you want audio reference.
Also, select one of the problematic clips and hit command-9 (clip settings) and tell us the settings for the clip.

Creating a new project with media manager

This one should be obvious but I can't quite figure it out: I used media manager to recompress my project into a smaller one. Media manager did a nice job with that and placed all the files into a new folder BUT - where is the actual project file?? If I use the actual fcp project file from the original- the settings are all different and it told me that some media files are missing or too short. Doesn't media manager create a new project file that works with the new recompressed files that it just created??

BUT - where is the actual project file??
When you have decided on the settings in Media Manager and then tell it to do the job, the first thing you see is a dialog asking where to save the project file. Use Spotlight to search for it.
If that doesn't turn anything up, start MM again, it might have remembered the last Save location.
