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.

  • Adobe media encoder error message - please help

    I purchased adobe creative suite 4 web standard in january of 2010.  I'm in the process of learning how to use all the features.  I am building a website in dreamweaver and wanted to create and import a flash movie.  I opened adobe media encoder from my program files.  I added an avi file to the encoder, chose a medium quality for web, and clicked Start Queue.  I then got the following pop up error message:
    Error Message:

    Please help.
    Thank You.

  • 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 file error message trying to play files from WDMycloud on ipad

    I am using a WDMyCloud networked hard drive to provide cloud backup for my Windows PCs. This backup includes my Itunes music library
    Using the WDMyCloud app on my iPad(or iPhone) I can see the library is succesfully backed up onto WDMy Cloud and can see all expected songs listed.
    Unfortunately when I try to open some of them on my iPad or iPhone using the WDMyCloud app I get an error message "Unable to play this media file". Some files do open OK
    File formats are mostly .m4a or otherise .mp3 and I have experience of problems with both types of files.
    I used to be able to play all WDMyCloud stored media files without any problem on my iPad/iPhone devices, and I am not aware of changing anything in iTunes/WDMyCloud or my Apple devices other than ensuring I keep up with the latest released software/version.
    Interestingly, I copied a couple of files that would not play into Dropbox onto my PC. I then looked for them on my iPad and iPhone usingWDMycloud app and looked into synced Dropbox folder in WDmy Cloud and found the files and hey presto they play OK.
    They also play on my iPad and iPhone if I go direct to the Dropbox app itself.
    Finally,I can also access my WDmyCloud via my Samsungsmart TV since it is on the same home network and and the "problem"  files will play OK on the TV.
    With my limited technical knowledge, its not clear that there is any difference between the files that play and those that don't.
    Grateful for any advice on what I might be able to do to fix it so all my files will play
    Many thanks

    I see. I understand Cisco just recently released this model in the market so probably there would be more tests to be done for further isolation and come up with a fix solution if proven to be really an issue. I guess for now we'll stand by for updates and just make the best out of Cisco's one of the top of the line routers.

  • 'Printer offline' error message

    My Epson XP-405 printer is turned on and working normally. But when I send an InDesign document to it I get the false error message 'Printer offline'. Documents created in all my other programs print without problems.

    Is Adoeb PDF (printer) working? Can you print your document to PDF?

  • "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.

  • Windows Media Player error message

    On Saturday mornings for the last couple of years, I have tuned in via the internet to a radio station and particular program using the radio station's website and clicking on their link for my connection speed (cable). The Windows Media Player opens up and the broadcast begins. The past two weeks, when the Player window opens, I now get a message that says "The host is unreachable." I restarted my computer; same message. I've seen reference on some websites that it is a router problem. So I reset the router; still doesn't work. I reinstalled Media Player 9; same message. I'm baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Can anyone help direct me? The router is Netgear and is about three years old. Thanks.

    I have no problem doing so. You don't need Windows Media Player. Make sure you have Flip4Mac WMV installed:

    When I try to install Media Downloader I get a message saying an erro has occurred. What can I do about this?

    I believe this will work for you from your firefox browser. Please run the AIR runtime first.
    After installing the AIR runtime, you should be able to launch the

  • Capture Device Offline error message

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac and am not able to capture video.  I get the "capture device offline" message.  I am having to use a Thunderbolt.  When I use the same camera settings on my old Mac in FCP, it works fine.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Is a "Thunderbolt" a Firewire device?

  • EA6500 Media Server Error Message trying to play MPGE files "File is Corrupt or not supported"

    To all
    I have another Media Server on a WRT610N router and I am able to play the files properly. Is this a bug on the EA6500 Media Server implementation.?

    I see.

  • 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.
