Media offline after inserting a fresh new clip...

Hi,
I've been trying to insert some .mpg files into my project, but everytime I import them and drag them to the timeline, it just shows a red "Media content offline". Anyone knows why? It's not some link that got lost, it happens just after importing the files. Maybe it's the file format?...
Thanks!
Tiago

The MPEG importer can be flaky at times. Try selecting the clip, right-clicking, and selecting "Link Media." Navigate to the same file, and select it and hit OK. This usually makes the MPEG clip stick; I don't know why it won't the first time.

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
(I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

Getting "Media Offline" After Archived Project to HDD to Another Computer

Hello,
How do you avoid getting media offline when transferring a project to another computer's C drive?
I use PrE9 and decided to transfer my project to another computer for performance purposes. I archived the project (copy, not trim) to an external hard drive first, making sure to synchronize the drive letters of the HDD in both old/new computers beforehand. Working from the external drive is fine -- no media offline issues -- but I wanted to transfer the archived project to my new computer's C drive. After doing so, the project is now riddled with media offline messages. I'd rather not deal with the clips individually as there are too many.
What step(s) am I missing? I'm sure it's easy, but this amateur has a lot to learn.

Well, when one changes the drive letter (or any part of the Absolute Path) with linked media, the first time that the Project has been Opened, those links will be broken. PrE should give you the dialog screen, asking "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into much more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=0

Media Offline after Crash

After an unespected quit some clips appeared offline.
If I clic "reveal in finder" the clip is there and opens fine in the QT player.
FCPX clip info says that the file was modified and asks me to connect the drive with the original file.
The worst thing is that the event for that clip was not in use nor the project containing the clip. So FCPX crashed and then I got a corrupted something that is not related in any way with the event and project I was working on. Bizarrous!

I dragged and drop the file that came back from color.
Dragged and dropped? There is nothing to drag and drop. You SEND TO FCP from Color, then in FCP a new sequence shows up. Double click on that.
But I might be getting into semantics...you might be doing that but not explaining it well.
Trash your FCP prefs...

If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Media offline after sending back from color

Ok. I have searched around and not finding anything offhand, but I have not changed any default settings but I am getting media offline when I import back to FCP. I can find the location of the files and all but its giving me a hard time bringing media online.

I dragged and drop the file that came back from color.

Error code 6 & media offline & after effect warning errors.

Increasingly I am getting the attached error messages when I try to open files. (mostly .psd and .ind files)
1.) It often says I don’t have permission to open the file, it is not the right type of file, or the file doesn’t exist... none of which are true.
The files always work if I copy them locally and open them from my harddrive.
2.) "media offline" error.
3.) after effects warning error.
Help needed. Thx.

Hi Saif,
You might get several issues, if you are directly opening files from the server or a network location, to your machine and editing them. You might also get issue while saving then to the server. I think your issue is one of them.
This is because, several thing comes into picture while you are opening, editing, saving files over the network. You may face some network issues, firewall issues and mostly permissions issues.
So, adobe always recommends to save the file locally on the machine first and then perform editting and saving operations. once you are done, you can copy it to the network.
Check the below article just for reference.

After insert trigger with :NEW.ROWID

Hi All,
I am using a After insert trigger to generate history record as following:
CREATE TABLE TB_TEST (classID number(3), classNm varchar2(12));
CREATE TABLE TB_HIST_TEST (hist_dttm timestamp(6), classID number(3), classNm varchar2(12));
CREATE or REPLACE TRIGGER air_test AFTER INSERT ON tb_test FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN PK_SRVC.CRT_NewRec('TB_TEST', 'TB_HIST_TEST', :new.ROWID); END:
In PK_SRVC package, I use the following statment to create new record in TB_HIST_TABLE:
     Insert into tb_hist_test (hist_dttm, classID, classNm)
     values (select systimestamp, classID, classNm from tb_test where rowid = ROWID )
The trigger DOES fire when a new row is inserted into TB_TEST. However there is no record inserted into TB_HIST_TEST. Any suggestion?
Thanks,

The PK_SRVC.CRT_NewRec is a generic service package that can be shared by many tables. It uses dynamic SQL to get all the collumns for different tables based on USER_TAB_COLUMNS. The following is the code of this package:
PROCEDURE CRT_NewRec ( p_TableName IN VARCHAR2, p_AudTableName IN VARCHAR2, p_RowID)
IS
       TYPE TabCol_RecTyp IS RECORD (COLUMN_NAME VARCHAR2(30), COLUMN_ID NUMBER);
       TYPE TabCol_CurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
        c_TabCol TabCol_CurTyp;
        rc_TabCol TabCol_RecTyp;
        v_Sql_TabCol VARCHAR2(1000);
        v_ColNames VARCHAR2(1000);
        v_Sql VARCHAR2(1000);
        PRAGMA AUTONOMOUSE_TRANSCATION;
BEGIN
        v_SQL_TabCol := ' SELECT column_name, column_id FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS'
                                  || ' WHERE table_name = ' || CHR(39) || p_TableName || CHR(39)
                                  || ' ORDER BY column_id';
        v_ColNames := NULL;
        OPEN c_TabCol FOR v_Sql_TabCol;
        Loop
               FETCH c_TabCol INTO rc_TabCol; Exit WHEN c_TabCol%NOTFOUND:
               v_ColNames := v_ColNames || ',' || rc_TabCol.COLUMN_NAME;
        End Loop;
        CLOSE c_TabCol;
        v_Sql := 'INSERT INTO ' || p_AudTableName || '(HIST_DTTM, ' || v_ColNames || ' )'
                  || ' SELECT systimestamp, ' || v_ColNames || ' FROM ' || p_TableName
                  || ' WHEN ROWID = chartorowid(' || CHR(39) || p_RowId || CHR(39) || ')';
         EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_Sql;
         COMMIT;
END;

Media offline after log and capture HELP!!!!

hi,
i am capturing media from my camera from dv tape into FCP,
i log and capture the footage and all seems fine, i've done this hundreds of times before.
today however when i log and capture the file comes up as media offline (file logo with red line through it) in the browser window, i need to get this file done asap!! HELP!!
Message was edited by: Modern Video

i have a deck and i've tried coming from the deck, but its giving me fallout due to deck issues i have, so i'm coming from the camera. when i log and cap i get the file with the red line.
when i try to reconnect it to a file all i have in the capture scratch folder is the bad file from the deck.
so i cant reconnect the media from what i have captured already.
so essentially my problem is that from my camera, i log and capture and get a file that does not go into capture scratch and yet still comes up as an unconnected media file in the browser!!??

Media Offline After Restarting

I rebooted my computer and when I came back to my PremierePro project the Media was offline. The video appears in the viewer as "Media Pending", but it never loads in. In the project assets window, there is a question mark icon next to each media clip.
I didn't move the source files, nor delete them. It appears PremierePro has lost reference to them, that the index file is broken. I made a New project and the media load just fine and I can edit them.
How do I fix this? I need the edits in this project file, it will take me a long time to re-edit them if I can't get them to load in the original file.
Help me ObiWan, you're my only hope!

As I edit, I will do a Save_As, along the way, incrementing my Project's name, with say the addition of "001," "002," etc.. At the end of the day, I then do a Save_As_a_Copy, as Jim suggests. That is my "fail-safe," incase things go wrong.
The difference between the two is basically what happens with that Saved Project. Save_As, will do just that, and with an incremented, or changed name, and then keep THAT Project Open. Save_As_a_Copy will do a Copy, where you direct the program to write it, with any name that you choose, but will NOT keep that Copy Open.
This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837
I use a combo of Save, Save_As and Save_As_a_Copy, at different stages in my editing, plus also keep the AutoSaves, just in case. With Save_As and Save_As_a_Copy, there will be a new set of AutoSaves created in the folder structure of the "new" Saved Projects. Those can be handy, just in case something goes terribly wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

Media Offline after Rendering

Been having an issue with multiple computers using Creative Cloud. After rendering the project all the media goes offline. I have to restart Premiere to get media back.
Any thoughts?

Hi Jonathon_H,
Thanks for all the information.
As you mentioned that it is not happening after the update but in case if it happens again, try to clean the media cache files which are situated on the below location:
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache" and "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files".
Please update if all goes well.
Happy Editing!!

Had to rebuild system: Media Offline (in red) on some clips. WTH? How to reconnect?

This is likely siple, but I'm stumped. My O.S. (Win7 Pro) became hopelesly corupted, so I was forced to reinstall. I'm done, CS5 back up and running, but I have a project that is acting wonky.
ABout a dozen of the clips in the timeline/sequence are RED and show as Media Offline. Now, when I open the project I don't get a popup looking for them. The clips are all AVI files and I have checked and yes, they are where they are supposed to be.
What is the process of having Premiere Pro understand where they are again? I'm not finding an answer that works.
Thanks again. I am sure I will have other questions.
Oh yeah, like, how do I get Media Encoder to stop using my SSD drive (my C drive) as the location where it does it's thing? You know... you Export to the Queue and it bring up Media Encoder and the sequence might be headed for the drive you tell it, but it clearly shows the C drive as the temp place or whatever. I made the change long ago, but now forget.

With system rebuilds, or when migrating to a new system, installed CODEC's are often forgotten. Project A worked, and then after the change, one gets the "Media Not Supported... " error message.
Glad that you found the issue. I will be doing, a couple of new machines, and hope that I have made adequate notes on which CODEC's I need to install on them.
That said, I have one caveat: often, a user is temped to just download and install an "all-inclusive" CODEC "pack," rather than step through the list, one at a time. I urge anyone to NOT do that. Install what you need, when you need it, and if there are commercial versions vs free versions, spend the few $'s to go "to the source."
Good luck,

Media file thumbnails in browser say "media offline", but files are online and available for viewing/editing. How do I get a thumbnail of the clip back?

I am moderately experienced with FCE, but cannot figure out this issue. The thumbnails in my browser say "media offline", and no longer show a thumbnail of my video clip. When I try to reconnect the media files, the reconnect dialog box only checks for "online" media. I am able to view and work with the media files in my project even though it says they are offline. This issue seems to occur after a power outage. Its more of an annoyance than anything else, but I would still like to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out.

Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.

Can't able to use :NEW in after insert trigger

When i am trying to assign value to an element of the NEW pseudo record, its giving error like :new pseudo record can't be used in this type of trigger.
What exactly i've done is given below
create or replace triger tri_name
after insert
on tab_name
for each row
begin
if :new.x='123' then
:new.y:=null;
end if;
end tri_name;
Thanks & Regards
--DKar

from oracle documentation...
Old and new values are available in both BEFORE and AFTER row triggers. A new column value can be assigned in a BEFORE row trigger, but not in an AFTER row trigger (because the triggering statement takes effect before an AFTER row trigger is fired). If a BEFORE row trigger changes the value of new.column, then an AFTER row trigger fired by the same statement sees the change assigned by the BEFORE row trigger.
