Media Managing to Prores for 5d clips on mixed timeline

Hi, I have a largish project (1TB footage) whitch is mainly SD but I have some 5d & Sony Ex footage. The majorety of the timeline is SD but there is a little 5D/Ex whitch is native footage and has to render (it is a SD timeline). Is there a way of converting the 5D/Ex clips I have used in situe (i.e. not having to convert the clip and redo cut). I know I could just convert the whole timeline into prores but this is a feature doc and would take a long time and use a lot of disk space. Also I am not ready to media manage for grading/sound edit (it is still a rough cut).
The reason I ask is I know this can be done with Avid if I consolidate.
Any ideas?
Ben

Move the clips you want to convert to their own video track. Duplicate your sequence, delete the SD footage and media manage what's left. Then replace the original tracks with the Mediamanaged tracks.

Media manager shifts timecode on long clip copies

We make sub clips from an hour long show daily, then consolidate these sub clips using media manager to be their own master clips. Then we(theoretically) delete the entire hour show and work only with the clips we want. This has been working great for small clips of a few seconds, but we are finding that longer clips (4-5 minutes) have timecode shifts creating nightmares for our finisher.... big shifts of 20 seconds and more.
Has anyone else had this issue?

You are taking a 720x486 clip, and blowing it up to 6 times the size, and trying to retain some semblance of quality...YES the MM will take 16 hours. It takes time to do this. Want to cut this time? Get an HD capture card and capture the footage via the card, upconverting it as you capture. Then the process is real time.
Top end machine or not, you are asking a lot, and it will take time. This isn't a 10 second or 2 minute clip...it is nearly an hour long.

Media Manager mangled my slo-mo clips

I used Media Manager for the first time to copy a project and it mangled all of my slo-mo clips. I had several clips that were set at 30% and after I opened the newly created project, all of the slo-mo clips had random speed settings from 90% to 250%.
My project timeline is hosed. What happened?

You might be able to see my ignorance in this but what if I sent the sequence to Color and then rendered out the clips to the other drive. Would that work? There aren't any stills or graphics in the timeline. Just text that I'd be willing to redo anyway.

Media Manager not installing for latest Apple Mac version

Verizon Media Manager is not installing correctly on my macbook.
My apple OS version is 10.6.2. The requirements for Verizon Media Manager is OS 1O.4 - 10.5.7. http://www36.verizon.com/fiostv/web/UnProtected/MediaManager.aspx
Help. How can we get Verizon to update their media manager software to support the latest OS version?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

shocklizzard,
I'm sorry that there was previously no support for Snow Leopard. However, the latest version of MM for Mac (v1.1) includes support for that OS.
Make sure you uninstall the previous version (if you haven't already) first.
Keep us posted with your progress!!!

Blackberry Media Manager NOT working for Blackberry storm (wont install on computer)

Hello 2months ago I got a Blackberry storm. Its a good phone but I have one problem that would make it much better. When I try installing the desktop manager, everything installs besides the Roxio Media manager. It gives me an error and cancels the installation of Roxio and continues with the other stuff. I really want to transfer Photos and Videos from my phone to my computer and vice-versa. Please tell me what I can do to install the Media Manager to get the device working. I am not using the CD's to install, i downloaded it from the blackberry website. The english version WITH media manager, and I even clicked Custom install and made sure it was planning to install it.
My error is this:
Error 1402.Could not find key:

What does that mean I have to do?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You don't need Roxio nor Media Manager to transfer files to/from your BB. Follow these instructions and be sure to download the version of Desktop Manager that is without either of those...

Normalise audio for all clips in the timeline ?

Is it possible ? At the moment, I am doing it clip by clip. I want to do it for all and then probably modify separate clips of high noise down or dialogues a bit up.
Selecting all the clips and then going to audio properties disables the Normalise Audio option.

Thanks,
I selected the first image and everything to the left them deleted (event though I could not see anything in the timeline). I then had to replace the first image and could move the timeline to where it needed to be.
Could not see anything in the way but there must have been something somewhere.
Thanks

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.

Media Manager grabs full capture files

Hi All,
I'm attempting to archive a finished project comprised of ProRes clips. Typically, I've done this by using Media Manager to copy just the clips used in my timeline, and then backing that data up. However, for some unexplained reason, when I select my timeline in the Browser window and open up Media Manager, there's virtually no difference between the "Original" bar and the "Modified" bar, regardless of whether I check "Delete unused media" or "Include master clips outside the selection". It seems to be trying to include ALL of my source media in this managed version, which is befuddling.
Any suggestions??
josh

Awesome, that would be great.
It's the strangest thing. I have a 3-hour long program feed in DVCPRO HD 1080i60 that was used for b-roll on a project (not the best source, I suppose, but it's all we had), and when I try to media manage it copies the entire master clip, even though that option isn't selected. I'm copying only the footage used, like you mentioned, with 2 second handles, but it still copies the master clip.
I've tried making the clips independent and subclips, I've trashed my preferences, I've copied the sequence into a new project and even brought the original footage into a new project as well, but Media Manager always brings along the master clip.
Does it just not work with files that big?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
jesse.

Names do not correspond timeline media manager

Hello,
I'm trying to use media manager to send a timeline with only the used media to Da Vinci. Something weird happens with the names of clips that come from the same source clip. Normally MM makes a new source clip for every clip in the timeline with the same name but adds a number. For instance, 2011104-1_guate2161_01 would become 2011104-1_guate2161_01 1, 2011104-1_guate2161_01 2 and so on. In this project only the first new source clip in the timeline has the full name. The new source clips that follow are called 2011104-1 2, 2011104-1 2 and so on. These names do not correspond the clip names in the new timeline which is not a problem for FCP. DaVinci however doesn't recognize these names and needs the full names (inc guate_2161_1) based on the xml.
I tried both naming options in MM but the same problem occurs. Any ideas?
cheers

I found the solution,
After the MM proces, take all clips in the new timeline offline and reconnect them again with the new master clips. The names in the timeline now correspond the names of the new master clips. Next make a new xml and voila!

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.

MEDIA MANAGER ISSUE

I am having problems opening the media manager. When I select a sequence nothing happens. When I highlight the clips in the sequence I receive a general error. I am only able to open the manager when I select the captured clips in the browser one at a time or a few clips in a sequence. Is there a way to backup media for an entire project without having to do it a few clips at a time?

I figured it out. I continued to get a general error message when trying to use the media manager on several sequences and clips. When selecting "make sequence clips independant" I was able to use the manager. Go figure

Problem with Roxio Media manager

Hello,
I have installed v4.6 for my desktop manager and it the Roxio media manager worked fine for a couple times and now it tries to reinstall it everytime i use it?
1) Why is it trying to reinstall?
2) How can i fix it?

did you read the complete discussion that I linked ? there is just one file : the installer that is several megs. you can download the desktop manager with or without the media manager. The media manager is just a module inside the desktop manager.

Bullseye Media Manager

Hello,
I just finished a working version of a media manager I use for my personal account to handle my music and pictures collection. I decided to published it on AUR as I assume it might interest some people.
It's a python app with several modules.
Here's a little sum up of what it is about :
Music module
- Inspired by Amarok 1.4 and Exaile
- Library browser show rating sum, playcount sum and burn factor by node (artist, album, track, etc...). Burn factor is high if you've listened a lot to a few tracks of a node.
- Advanced queue managment with several flags to apply on queued tracks :
Stop flag : Once the player is done playing this track it will stop global playback
Temp jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then go back where it left
Perm jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then continue playback from here
Bridge source : Once the player is done playing this track, it will move to the bridge dest of this bridge source (if there is one)
Bride dest : Tells that this track is where the matching bridge source will lead when listened
- Passive filters : hide tracks you do not want to see by showing only those matching filters, useful if you have a large collection and at some point just listen to a few tracks. Can be seen as content view modes.
- Session saving/loading
- Last.fm scrobbling with offline cache support
- Function to sync playcounts with Last.fm account
- Function to import ratings from another Bullseye database (including BullseyeDroid)
Other modules (pictures, videos, and later custom)
- Manages files based on what there are and not just where they are on the disk
Basically, what you have to do with these modules is creating categories (~ based on subject form) and universes (~ based on subject content). Then after Bullseye has scanned indexed folders for new files, you load some of these files and drag and drop them in the matching categories / universes. You can create an arborescence of categories and universes. For example, I can create the root category "Characters" and a sub-category "Warriors" to it. I can also create a root universe "Dragon Ball" and a sub-universe "Piccolo" to it. Then if I have a picture of the warrior character Piccolo from Dragon Ball, I'll load it and drag and drop it in "Warriors" and "Piccolo". This picture will then matches the criteria "Characters", "Warriors", "Dragon Ball" and "Piccolo".
- Can move every indexed files to a proper structure. If you just download and copy files, search for them in Bullseye then add them in the proper category and universe, it will work. But it will be a real mess on disk. Bullseye can move every indexed files to a proper structure on disk, based on categories, universes or both.
- Function to check for doubloons
- Video & Music module support multiple backends : GStreamer, VLC, Phonon and MPlayer (not there right now)
Music module browser and flags demo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF5114mLWhQ
Categories & Universes management introduction with pictures module : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3i1plNSpsg
Gtk2 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58903
Qt4 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58905
Theses versions are not really polished but should work quite properly (but they probably contain bugs since no one has used them except me).
Thanks for any feedback.

As a side note, there seems to be a lot of differences between the gtk and qt versions. Aside from potentially not having qt installed, is there a reason to maintain two versions? Alternatively, i wonder if it would make since to separate the project into a library and the gui's which implement the library (kind of like xmms and mpd do)? These are just ramblings, so feel free to ignore this part of my reply. the important part is the patch. :-)

V Cast Media Manager Costs ?

I tried to find an answer on the website but couldn't.
So - the subscription for the V Cast Media Manager is $2.99 a month for 25GB, but what I can't find out is ... does that cover all phones on our family plan? OR, is that price per phone?
Thanks for any help.

The $2.99 charge is per line and can not be share between line on the family share plan. Below I have provided additional information regarding the cost of VCast Media Manager.
25GB for $2.99 a month
