"Media Offline" error in slideshow(s)!

I just created my first DVD with 2.0, a DL with a lot of video on it and 2 slideshows (of 90 and 55 pictures respectively). The transitions show up just fine, as does the music, but the pictures/slides themselves don't show... just Adobe's "Media Offline" picture (which I know any user of Premiere is familiar with, I'm not sure if I've seen it in Encore).
Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how to fix it?!?!
Thanks in advance!

Got the same thing here. The worst in my case is that everythin seemed to be working correctly within the Encore Preview window but when I tried to create DVD, almost all of the pictures were considered offline.
But in my case, I DID change the loaction of the files but even then, I think it is a bug and that Encore should request the user to locate the files OR set them as offline. I tried to remove the files in the Soources/Transcodes folder. Did the trick to get them to appear as offline in Encore too BUT, now I get a "transcoded" statement in the Transcode Status column for all my offline pictures.
I tried doing a "Locate Asset" with no success (probably because Encore at the UI level doesn't see them as really offline??).
The solution to prevent to have to redo all the slideshow was to "Replace Asset" with one that is not yet imported and then, replace again with the right one.
I too hope that it will be corrected soon.

  • Adobe Media Encoder 4.0.0.374 - Media Offline Error when encoding

    My problem is a little urgent, so, if possible, i want a fast answer.
    I edited my video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. When it was done, i tryed to export it, in File > Export > Media (Ps. In my program, i don't have File > Export > Movie). I set my video export settings, and then accepted. The Adobe Media Encoder 4.0.0.374 window appeared, with my project in the queue list. Then, i pressed in "Encode". First, the program is slower than normally to load the file, but i think it can be that my video is too long. After load, it starts to encode. After a time, in the preview box, appear the "Media Offline" ( and never is the same footage ) image, the same of Premiere Pro CS4. After a little, a "Encoding unsucceful. Unknown Error" appears, and the encoding stops. I don't know if is a Premiere Pro or Media Encoder error, so i posted here.
    Considerations:
    Before i encode, i ever verify (and fix if necessary) if all videos of the project is linked, but ever time i reopen the project, some footages ( never the same ) are unlinked, and i have to link again.
    I tryed to encode various differents formats, like AVI, WMV or F4V, but in every time i get the error. I tryed even to export first the audio, then the video, separated, to link after, but only the audio is succeful exported.
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate, with a 4gb RAM, 1TB HD and Pentium Dual-Core 3Ghz.
    I just got to encode with succes some times before. This is the first time it occurs.
    I used the program (Premiere Pro) normally, some days ago, until 02/11. Since 03/11, it slowed. I just disabled all visual effects, disfragmented my disk, cleaned, and set the "Use more energy to more process" settings, but my program is still slow.
    If needed more considerations, ask to me.
    I just searched for similar problem, but dont got any result.
    Sorry if my english is bad, i am Braziliam.

    I have a similar problem. When I attempt to encode a list of clips, Media Encoder sometimes fails with a media offline warning. The media is just fine, nothing actually off line nor corrupted. If I elect to encode directly from Premiere Pro, the compilation proceeds normally. That's not practical when I have a list of clips and other things to do besides watch the creeping status bar.
    My temporary fix was to uncheck the "import sequences natively" option. It's a little slower using the dynamic link, but it works, and my hair can start growing again.
    This glitch appeared only with the latest update via Creative Cloud.

  • Media offline error message; Equipment

    1)  I'm running PE 8 on a PC with dual core AMD, 4 GB Ram, Vista Home Premium.  I'm working on a short project with lots of short segments.  I save frequently to avoid freezes which seem to occur when too many actions have been done.  Nevertheless,  everytime I get close to finishing, some of the clips will come up with this error message Media Offline which has to do with losing the file association.  It's very tedious to reestablish the link, i.e. reimport the clips.  Any ideas?  Do lots of short clips create a problem?
    2)   I'm wondering if going to a faster, perhaps Intel rather than AMD processor, and/or going to Windows 7 would help.  I hate to just throw money at this, including switching to MAC, but it's highly frustrating.  Has anyone upgraded from VIsta and had things improve?  Any other tweaks in terms of swap files, etc that might work?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Premiere Elements 8 is more of a resource hog than the previous versions -- but, with the 8.01 patch applied, it should run just fine on XP SP3, Vista SP2 and Windows 7. (Although many people report driver issues that lead to instability on the 64-bit version of Windows 7.)
    If you can't get it to work, however, you can try an alternative, like Sony's Vegas MovieStudio 10, which costs about the same and seems to be less sensitive to Windows instabilities than Premiere Elements.
    As for your media offline issues -- where is your media located? Is it on your computer's C drive? If not -- or if it's on an external drive that you have used Map Network Drive to assign a drive letter to -- your computer can lose track of the links to your media files.

  • When I select Send to Compressor, I get media offline error.  Help?

    I finished my timeline, rendered everything. Played through without problem in FCP. When I sent to compressor, it said something like "Some media clips are off line, do you still want to send to compressor?"
    Why did it say that?
    thanks
    Brian

    How about if you instead rendered a QuickTime movie, then took that movie into Compressor?

  • 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.

  • Media offline...can't be!

    I'm trying to export a short clip. The clip plays on the timeline. The clip plays in the Export Settings box, both in the Source side and the Output side. But when I complete the export I get the 'Media Offline' error on the clip. The media can't be offline, it shows up on the timeline.
    Premiere CS4 on a MacBookPro. Footage is from an XDCAM EX-3. File>Export; Export Settings are quicktime format, codec is H.264.
    A title on the timeline does show up over the Media Offline error.
    What now?

    Nope, download from Apple. That way you'll have the latest.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    This is usually wrapped up in Updates (under the "apple" menu) but going to the link above will allow you to update just QT without others that you may or may not want.

  • Error Message for "Media Pending" or "Media Offline"

    This is INCREDIBLY frustrating.
    It is my job at a church to produce broadcast-quality segments for our local tv stations for 28 minute slots. I am working with HD-quality videos, bumpers, audio files, etc. It takes my PC about 30 minutes to render each segment and I work with about 4 segments a week. Add that up, and it takes me two straight hours to render each finished product (not counting any edit work), all which have to be done in a day because we broadcast most of the stuff that happens on Sunday the following Tuesday.
    That said, I render the final product, after everything has been through quality-control, through encoder because of the FTP option. When I leave every Monday afternoon, I start the queue for the four segments, which, in turn, will spit out the product and FTP it to our server at the tv stations.
    But when I come in Tuesday morning and find that AME has rendered four USELESS videos because, instead of informing me when I started the queue there was something wrong with fetching the video files, it decided to render some stupid stock frame of either, "Media Pending" or "Media Offline" - which makes ABSOLUTLY NO sense, for when I open premiere or after effects, it renders quite fine through AME. You can't sit here and tell me that the rendering software requires the project to be open in Premiere or AE. That would be counter productive and impossible for anyone batch-rendering.
    Here is what I need: Just a simple, "Hello, there was something wrong with fetching all of the media files in your project (blank, blank, blank) - please check your project file."
    Thanks!

    What is the OS and version ?
    What is the Graphics Card installed on the system ?
    How much Ram do you have ?
    Do you use any external Hard Drive ?
    and please try to copy the media file from the one location another without media, and make the media offline and save the project as a new project and try to open the new one, then try to link the media.

  • The slideshow I saved says media offline

    I saved 100-150 photos, with transitions between each.  Now when I open it, it says media offline and asks me where each and every photo is stored...waste of time with a brand new program...first time used...NOT happy!

    gperry4
    Please confirm what version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system it is running?
    Am I correct in assuming that you are building this slideshow in the Premiere Elements Editor and not the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor/Builder?
    If you are getting Media Offline messages when you open a saved closed project, the likely explanations include
    1. You moved, deleted, renamed files and folders that were imported into the project after you saved closed the project. When you import
    your source media into a project, all you get in the project are copies of the originals which are at their hard drive save location. But, the project needs to trace back to the originals at the location where they were when first imported into the project. The "Where is the file....?" messages are your means to make the source media - product reconnects.
    2. The other possibility is that you store your source media on an external hard drive and that the drive has malfunctioned, perhaps changing driver letter.
    Please review and consider, and then let us know if any of the above applies to your situation.
    Thank you.

  • New Media Encoder Error: video and/or audio filters are missing...

    My colleague reported this error popup window while using Adobe Media Encoder CC (up-to-date):
    "video and/or audio filters are missing and the rendered output may not match the original"
    I've been seeing similar errors the past few days. I can't remember if the wording was the same in the errors I saw, but the circumstances were the same.
    I've never seen this popup error before the most recent CC update.
    Some background info:
    I queued up multiple Premiere Pro pproj files as usual from within Premiere
    without rebooting or deleting any cache or temp files or anything, I start the queue
    I have no special plugins installed in Premiere. Vanilla CC install.
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    This error doesn't tell me what audio/video filter(s) are missing. The output files, once I dismiss this warning, are perfect.
    The major problem: It stops the queue dead in it's tracks. Sure, it might seem handy to stop and give you a warning, but when it's a false report and there's nothing wrong, it's killing us, because we queue up multiple files for encoding overnight, and we're not here to get the popups.
    What is likely causing this? Is it a bug that this is appearing so frequently? Has anyone else experienced this besides my colleague and I?
    Thanks!

    Update for anyone experiencing this issue:
    We are still investigating the cause of the issue and would really like your help tracking it down. If you run in to it I would be happy to jump on the phone with you and preferably do a screenshare as well. If you want to run some tests for me, this is what may help us track it down:
    0. Please make sure you are updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro and AME, which at this time are Premiere Pro 7.2.1 and AME 7.2.
    1. Simplify the project. Create a copy of the project and eliminate anything in the project that isn't related to the sequence(s) you are exporting. Then run the encode again. If it still occurs, move to the next step. If it doesn't occur any more, repeat step one and only remove half of the unused items (sorry, this is giong to be a manual process). Rinse, repeat.
    2. Open your sequence in Premiere and press Cmd/Ctrl + A to select all clips in your sequence. Right click and select Remove All Effects. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. If it still repros, go to step 4.
    3. Make all the media offline. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. Repro? Go to step 5.
    4. Send me a message with as much detail as possible. Even better would be if you could provide me a copy of your project file.
    Your help in tracking this issue down is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • 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 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.

  • Media Offline in Premiere Pro CC 8.1

    I just downloaded Premiere Pro CC 8.1 and was using CC 7 .1 When I went to convert the project I was working on for the past two Weeks, it would convert and I get the Media Offline warning in the Timeline.
    Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    User meant "Media Offline"

    I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 and Premiere Pro.  If I double click on a project in Windows Explorer to start PP, I also get the "media offline" timeline.  When a relink is attempted, PP either locks up and requires Windows Task Manager to quit or it simply refuses to link to the media, with an error message about the media not having the correct properties or something similar.
    After forcing PP to close, I generally get it to work properly the second time.
    This doesn't ever happen if I start PP first THEN open a project from the start screen.

  • Some Media Offline, and No Sound in Video Export: Premiere Pro & Media Encoder

    I have run into a couple problems:
    First, sometimes when I try exporting an edited video from premiere, the video shows "Media Offline" even though it plays fine in Premiere. How could I fix this error?
    Secondly, when I try exporting a different, longer-in-lenth video from Premiere, it shows NO Sound, despite there being sound in the ProRes file itself.
    I tried restarting, clearing the cache and deleting the preferences - and it still isn't working. We also tried re-installing media encoder. I also tried contacting Adobe Support, and they haven't been helpful or responsive (My case number: 0186134420). Anyone know how to solve this one? Thanks!

    See the last post and try it:

  • Media Offline/Missing Files In FCExpressHD

    Very confused. Edited footage and saved on External HD. Lacie 200GB...Been very careful to constantly save all work on External HD. Been on 6 week trip. Powered down Powerbook, unplugged everything including Ext HD and put away.... just returned. Got back into FCE HD and for no reason..I get the Media Offline and Missing Files message. What could I have possibly done to make this happen. I deleted NOTHING during my editing process and kept saving and saving..Now this!...What did I do wrong?

    If it's new the external may not be formatted
    correctly to work with a Mac.
    Is the format Mac OSExtended?

    Hello Al...
    I resolved the problem...I physically went into my Lacie External HD..and found the FCE video file I was working on..double-clicked it, FCE opened and brought up all my files/images/video onto the timeline without a problem...
    Nothing missing, nothing offline...
    I don't know why, when I open FCE HD (FIRST) and go to File>Open or >Open Recent..after not being on-line for several weeks (out of town on trip)..I get these "offline or missing files" error messages...but when I go directly to my External HD...find the file, click on it..and it opens..I'm bewildered...
    Anyway...I guess I shouldn't complain...everything looks OK...
    Thanks again.
