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.
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...

Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
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.

The sequence totally out of sync after sending it from Color to FCP

I finished my color corrections in Color and thought I'd send it to FCP again.
When I opened it in FCP everythign was out of sync. The text I had added wasn't where it was supposed to be, the sound I hade deleted was back(!) and some clips were cut down.
Anyone know why this happened?
Thanks

There are a lot of known issues with 25 fps material -- bad timecode, corrupted sequences, etc.
It does appear as if there is an XML issue where a revision has been done and COLOR is using a previous version of the sequence ( "sound I had deleted was back(!)" ).
This has been discussed elsewhere. If you make a copy of a sequence -- treat the COPY as your backup and keep on working with the ORIGINAL. DO NOT carry the project forward if you are going to use COLOR/XML at some point because it will refer to the ORIGINAL, not the COPY. Color does not generate new XML, it edits the file that was "Sent". Strictly, speaking, then this is not wholly a Color issue but the way that FCP carries XML.
Hey, consider yourself lucky. Your text made the trip, mostly. Usually, I find that it has been mysteriously added to... like a blank line now shows up as a row of "00000000000" -- that was pretty funny.
And LiveType ipr's are suddenly missing fonts and "media"...
Ah such fun.

Sending files back from color to fcp 7, but experiencing issues

I have four sequences in a FCP 7 project. I sent three of them to color from FCP 7, completed my grading, rendered and sent back to FCP 7. I did the same for the fourth sequence; however, when I opened this sequence in FCP 7 it had over written one of the other timelines media into the same clip lengths as the one I just sent back. So it had media from another project, but with the same clip lengths as the I had just sent back from color. I have never experienced this before. I am working for an advertising agency and I am basically getting raw footage ready so that it can be send to an animation house who is going to be adding their animations, transitions and exporting the project. This project is on a tight deadline and need to figure this issue out quickly. Is this indiciative of corrupt files somewhere? If any one has had this issue please share how you rectified it.
Thanks.

Color renders out the files and gives them new names... g_1, g_2...and so on. If some of them are exactly the same length as another one that's labelled g_1...FCP could connect it to the wrong one and whammo, your issue.
The REEL numbers should transfer. But if your footage doesn't have reel numbers, then it will link by name and length often. Yeah...messed up.

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.

I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activations.Hope I can fix from Apple instead.

Ok....Got "Problem 2 and 4" solved....still trying to figure out this pop up everytime I click something...it's crazy how fast the pop up blinks...maybe once or 3 blinks then nothing till you close the window, then pop up then disappears...then click something
else and pop up then gone....never seen this before...ive seen it when you tried to get online which turned out to be a virus on a customers cpu I worked on some years ago, I think it has something to do with the deleted files that I spoke of on last
post...I notice it does it on start up as well.....think something is trying to install but not sure. Need to figure out where the appdata or start up folder and see whats in there....maybe it's in there.......so I might wait to see how it acts in the next
couple days for "Problem 1"...but other than that it's running like a champ...so right now I just want to get the pop up windows to stop........thx again for everyone's help on this.

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

Media Offline when Exporting back to FCP from STP. Lesson 10 in APTS book.

Hello, I am going through the Apple Pro Training Series Book by Martin Sitter found a road block in Lesson 10. The topic is conforming at that seems to work decently (except for garbled text in the right side of the Conform tab). My issue is when trying to export back to FCP. I choose to Send Files to FCP sequence. A new sequence is created in the selected project as expected. The audio is fine, but instead of using the video from the correct sequence, it seems to be trying to use clips from the older sequence. Additionally, all the video clips show up as Media Offline. I can reconnect media, but the problem is that it is the wrong video sequence. Oddly, in STP the video looks perfect. Is there an error in the metadata? can this be fixed or prevented? Thank you

Barreltone,
I am exporting back into Final Cut Pro via Send to Sequence. I have been exporting from the browser of FCP (sequence), and not the timeline (clips). I'm going to try that tactic, and see if that works.

Vertical Stripes after send back to FCP

This is a new problem I have not seen in the past. After I color correct a sequence and send back to FCP, some of the clips are corrupted - all you see are vertical bands of color. I have tried a few different things to no avail. Any suggestions.

But there is something about them that COLOR doesn't like -- if it is not an intermittent fault. If you have already tried a restart and re-render, you can eliminate that as a possible causative. There may be a filter, or if you were working in Express, the media may have been digitized in a marginal format.
Without knowing anything else about your media -- resolution, codec, framerate... can't offer much more advice.

Creative zen V+ still not working after coming back from assistance for the second ti

hallo, what thje hell is happening with creative Zen V+ I got it back from assistance for the second time and it's still not working!!!!!!!!!!! I want my money back now, I'm gonna spam the whole of the internet with this unfunny joke, what the hell I'm suppoised to do I really fed up, since I bought the unit it worked for less than one month and for another one it's been back to the assistance for two times!!!! And still it's not working!!!! Now let me tell you this creative zen V + is a worthless, costly, cheap piece of crap, and I mean crap, what the hell am I supposed to do now Send it back for the third time 249 euros for this crappy piece of cheapo plastic Please is it allowed me to send it back and having in change some olther player I don't mean it to be trendy or flashy or all of the usual marketing **bleep** coming with these, I just want a player that actually play my music, a player I can load all my music without the application to freeze, the player to freeze and me having to format and reboot again and again. Is it creative capable to accomplish such task, do they still know how to build an mp3 player that actually work without me having to buy and install windows vista Or they don't Do creative have some old player still in stock zen touch wasn't stilish but worked well until the HD dyied, zen V plus isn't working as it is supposed to do, plain and simple. What do I have to do now in case you are wondering the malfunction is still the same.

For the Zen V, as it states on the box, you need Windows XP Service Pack or 2, or Windows Vista. You also need Windows Media Player 0 or . As long as you have that, you should be fine there.
You may also have a corrupted file that is causing the problem. Try not transferring them all at once, transfer it in blocks instead. If one block fails to transfer, try and narrow it down and see if it's a specific file in that block causing the problem.
When you try it on another PC, do be sure that PC meets the system requirements, especially the Service Pack if it's Windows XP. You'd be shocked how many times people try it on a 2nd computer, get angry when it doesn't work, call tech support, and find out the 2nd PC doesn't even have SP on it.
All else failing of course contact Support. They can't help you if you don't let them know what's going on, and if you don't yell at them they'll do their absolute best, trust me.
Good luck,
Dale

Still frame on out put monitor after seq sent from color

Hi, I am sending back to fcp from color and then I render in fcp but the file will play on desktop fine but not out to monitor as it did before going to color, why is this dose color change the format I have check and the format is the same and the seq setting.
2nd question I have some clips I would like to change in a sent seq from color to fcp can I just replac then in the time line and send to editor , what is the best work flow , thanks in advance for any help.
using a aja LH card.

Color only renders into certain codecs so there is a good chance that the codec you sent to Color from final cut is different than the one Color rendered into. For example, if you send HDV to Color you will either get back ProRes or Uncompressed. If you have you FCP setup for HDV and you try and play back a ProRes or Uncompressed timeline you will only see still images in your broadcast monitor.
For your second question, assuming I understand you correctly, I would make a new sequence in FCP that only contains the new shots and send that sequence to Color.

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

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.

MBP 17 2009 LCD does not turn on after coming back from sleep

Hi,
I feel like crying.
I bought my 1st Mac 3-4 days ago and I have not regretted anything more than this.
1st some mov files that Quicktime windows can play but Mac does not (feel like pulling my hair why as the videos with same settings taken with same camera before I got the mac work perfectly from flash drive.
2nd the nVidia 9600m stopped being detected no matter what I did, next morning it magically re-appears (alongwith many things that vanished magically for e.g. options on right clicking images never came)
3rd the MOST BUGGING AND CONSISTENT
I close the lid, it goes to sleep. It has never come back from sleep. The screen will never turn on. Then I force shut down keeping power button pressed. And even after 2-3 restarts the screen doesn't come up. I wait for 2 min and then start. It starts working.
ANY IDEA WHY?
I use a usb mobile braodband modem (Huwaeii telecom's) and have a silly feeling maybe that might case something. But even that doesn't.
My next guess is temperature. I am working in 30-40 degree celcius room temprature range. Maybe that is it.
I think Mac is overrated and it breaks my heart saying that as I spent $2300 over it which is a HUGE amount in my part of the world. I needed it for Final Cut Pro.

I am sorry I do not understand the response. You're saying this is a known issue? Or are you suggesting/asking "IF" it is an OEM issue?
Because the whole problem I have is the "IF". I am not able to comprehend what is the problem.
And Yes the machine is 6 days old. Calling technical support doesn't help.
Apple doesn't look obsessed about customer satisfaction in India (My Luck i bought it from the only iStore in my area, hope they correct it).
The nVidia 9600M is sometimes there sometimes not. Lately even simply starting the machine does not make the screen turn on.''
Is there a debugging to-do list? Oh I am so "OS X"-impaired.
Thanks,
Rachin
