Media suddenly unavailable - HELP!
I am working with CS6 and a member of creative cloud. I'm relatively inexperienced as an editor and self taught. so, if anyone can help - please can you keep it as simple as possible!?
I did a 5 camera shoot which now needs editing. 4 cameras exported MP4 and one MTS - 2.5hrs of 1920 x 1080 progressive each .
The media is sitting on a raid drive.
Yesterday - all the clips were on the timeline - and all the clips were synced. All the cameras had timecode fed to them - but due my inexperience I was unable to get this to work in Premiere so I did it manually.
Fine.
Today - the clips look fine in the project panel - but some, when you hover over them - show the YELLOW MEDIA UNAVAILBLE window.
This fills me with dread as I spent the whole day on the editing and was half way through, and the client needs it this week, AAAGGHH.
Why - all of a sudden should Premiere not see the files??
The media has not been moved.
I have tried 'reconnecting' but to no avail.
When restarting - it doesn't say that media is missing, all looks fine.
Has anyone had a similar problem??
Really need any help I can get please!!
Huge thanks
Richard

There is a tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 that may help... although I don't know if there is anything that specifically mentions multi-camera editing

my location services is already on as well as with my facebook apps, but still i am unable to check in. what's wrong? even with my maps, it always say location unavailable. help please.
- The iPod uses the location of a nerby or connected router to determine it location based on a database of routers and their location. It appears that the routers near y are not in Appl'es database. As of yet, nobody here seems to know how to get routers added to the database.
- If you go to Strtbucks. McDonalds or another networks does the location show in the Maps app? -
When i type my email, the text would go on and on and overflows. I mean to say it doesn't autmatically hit the right hand side wall and change to next line! I have to manually press enter and then next line starts. Started happening suddenly.pls help.
Does it happen when you reply to an email? If so, it might be that there's content in the original email (like an image or something similar) that overflows the window content, therefore the Mail app, when you hit the border, follows the content below instead of going on a new line. You might wanna try that.
Also: Please do not post the whole question in the question title. -

Red Media suddenly went offline - Please Help!
Hello,
I am aware that this is a reccurent problem. I remember seeing a similar post last week but for some reasons I can't find it anymore.
Here is my situation.
After months of endless editing of a feature film, I am about to export the final cut and send the project out for DI and VFX.
Today I opened PPCS6 and part of my timeline is offline.
Of course I tried to relink the media, but all I get is an error message saying "Unsupported File / File damaged".
This was an ongoing problem at the times of CS5-5.5,when I was spending weeks trying to understand the origin of this problem. Now it appears that CS6 is having the same kind of issues with RED media (or simply with the red importer).
Here is what happens in details:
When I relink the original r3d files I don't always get the "unsupported file" error. Long clips with more than one segment can be relinked with a little trick.
To give an example:
In the case of long clips, when Premiere asks "Where is A002_C001_100742_001?" if I select the first segment of the file (001) I get the "unsupported file" error.
Although if I select the second or third segment, like A002_C001_100742_002 or A002_C001_100742_003 the clip gets re-linked without problems. This makes me feel there is something wrong in the way Premiere imports RED media.
Although the real probelm is when I have short clips, where the camera only generated on r3d file/segment. In that case I get the error of unsupported format, and the clip stays offline. I can't think of a workaround for short clips.
I have the latest CS6.02 version.
This is driving me crazy, and right now 1/4 of my timeline is offline.
Please, if anyone experienced this problem and has a possible solution let me know. I need to export this project and I am currently stuck with no possible solution.
THANKS!I tried, but Clearing the cashe/cashe database made it even worst, more clips went offline.
Today I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it, now everything is back to normal.
Problem is that it happens very often, not only to me.
It would be great to understand if there is a better solution. Uninstalling the software in the middle of a job made me feel a bit uneasy. -
Missing inspector and media browser please help
Hi, I have been happily editing in iweb - building a new website... but today suddenly I have found it impossible to make the Inspector to appear and the media browser is also absent - no matter how many times I click the appropriate buttons.. on the bottom of the screen - or from the top menu - I have been trying to insert hyperlinks - and the default hyperlink is made - but I cannot see the panel to alter it...
I have tried rebooting the program several times - and the computer too... but no use. Still no inspector or media browser anywhere in sight - not visible even in Expose
- although the adjust, colours and fonts menus do appear
thank you for your help, Janine Roberts
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)thank you for the suggestion - I have now run Disk Utility - and, although it picked up a surprising number of permissions to repair relating to Quicktime - Iweb is still faulty. I also tried today reinstalling it from my master disk - but this has not made any difference. I still cannot make the Iweb inspector or media viewer show themseves.
I am at a complete loss - I was sure reinstalling would work.
Anyone with more ideas? A lot of web pages are up on a new site - but this has stopped me dead.
I ran another program today that uses apparently the same inspector and media viewer - Rapid Weaver - and the panels appeared and worked normally - but I cannot import iweb files into this program to sort them out.

Linksys Wireless WRT610 media server issue, help appreciated.
Since I bought this router, the media server had been working okay.
suddenly one morning it stopped working and giving this message.
Trial expired, please visit http://twonkyvision.com
I called Linksys customer support, (which is not 'engineering dept' by the way, someone in Phillipins)
they had no clue what a UPnP media server is, and what twonky is ?
Linksys routers come preinstalled with twonkyvision media server software, but this one stopped working.
Any help ?I've been havin the same troubles but i think i might have finally gotten it to work. TwonkyMedia is preinstalled on Linksys WRT610N and the "new" tab they created called "storage" interprets TwonkyMedia's actual media server pages into the Linksys configuration style.
Type in your browser http://your-router-iport/
Just like this http://192.168.0.1:9000/
It takes you to the actual TwonkyMedia setup pages in which Linksys hides from you. Click on the "Clients/Security" link in the left navigation area. I noticed that although it was set to allow new clients automatically, the client table was actually missing my Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as their static ip's.
Once i added them it worked again (cross my fingers). I can't wait until DD-WRT comes out with new custom firmware for this Linksys router. Its been good to me for awhile now but i hope this isn't a start of things going wrong with the router. -
Sudden Sleep.SUDDENLY SLEEPING HELP..
Paris France. Feb 2006.
SUDDENLY SLEEPING. Like, I'd be typing along, with the powercord plugged in and a full battery charge, and the display goes blank and the whole machine sounds like it's going into hibernation. I can always get it back just by pressing a key and waiting a few seconds, but it's very strange and disturbing, and besides, it's totally aggravating! Have anyone found a solution to this bloody problem. please HELP... I am now on 10.4.5

VictorMac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
Learn why your Mac might not go to sleep when you expect it to, or why it might not stay in sleep mode. What's sleep mode? It's a low power, energy-saving feature of that offers both environmental and economic benefits, as well as helping to extend the life of batteries and displays.
On the other hand, you probably don't want the computer to sleep at certain times even if you're not using the keyboard or mouse, such as when you are:
While watching a DVD movie
Listening to your iTunes music library
Running an automated backup
Away from your computer while downloading large files
Tip: For troubleshooting tips, go to the "How can I determine what is causing a sleep issue and resolve it?" section at the bottom of this article.
Why doesn't the computer go to sleep at the expected time based on Energy Saver settings?
You can configure Energy Saver preferences to set your computer to automatically sleep after a specified period of time; an internal counter called a "sleep timer" monitors the amount of time your computer has been inactive. When the counter's time matches the amount of time you specified, the computer enters sleep mode and displays a pulsing power light.
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)
Some System Preferences settings affect sleep
Energy Saver
Energy Saver is a System Preference that can help you optimize energy settings as well as sleep times and processor usage. Note that processor controls are not used for Intel-based Macs because they have a built-in power-saving feature. Only PowerPC-based Macs display processor controls.
Bluetooth
You can allow Bluetooth devices to wake a sleeping computer by enabling "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in Bluetooth preferences. Simply having a bluetooth device paired does not prevent a system from sleeping.
Spotlight
Your computer will not sleep if Spotlight is indexing content, because that requires hard disk access. For example, if you just installed or reinstalled Mac OS X, Spotlight may need a while to index content.
Sharing
Network activity can reset the sleep timer, too. For example, leaving a self-refreshing Web page open in a Web browser.
In these situations, the display will sleep (unless Energy Saver preferences is configured to never let the display sleep) but the processor will continue to be awake and the power light will remain on.
Keyboard, mouse, other input devices can affect sleep
Keyboard presses and mouse button clicks can wake a sleeping computer. Mouse movement alone will only wake a sleeping display. Even though your Mac may be in sleep mode, it remains aware of keyboard presses and mouse clicks. If you move a mouse, press a key, or use a different input device, the sleep timer counter will reset.
Open applications can affect sleep
Software that accesses the hard drive will delay sleep mode until it is either quit or done accessing the drive, for example:
A self-refreshing Web page open in Safari.
Songs playing in iTunes.
A movie disc playing in DVD Player.
However, this can also occur in subtle ways you might not expect:
An application window might display text that periodically changes (such as a clock).
If an application uses a custom font to display text but the font resource is marked purgeable, then at some point the memory manager will purge the font from memory. When the application tries to draw text using that font again, it will be loaded from the hard drive, resetting the sleep timer.
Applications can be designed to keep the system awake and prevent idle sleep indefinitely. In developer lingo, an application may explicitly prevent system sleep by calling IORegisterForSystemPower(), and calling IOCancelPowerChange() when it receives a power management kIOMessageCanSystemSleep notification.
Expansion cards can affect sleep
Some PCI expansion cards can prevent sleep. If a card's Mac OS X device driver is not properly power managed, the computer will be unable to safely remove power from it, preventing the system from entering full sleep. Instead, the system enters a state named "Doze".
Some kinds of PCI cards prevent any kind of sleep mode--your system will not go into low-power mode during long periods of inactivity. The computer fans may run excessively when this is the case.
Other hard drives (USB, FireWire, ATA), optical media drives (DVD, CD) can affect sleep
If there is disk accesses activity at least once a minute on disks such as ATA drives, FireWire drives, and USB drives, the computer will not idle sleep.
How can I determine what is causing a sleep issue and resolve it?
As mentioned above, these are the most likely causes and solutions for sleep issues:
Sharing preferences: Enabling sharing for any connections can potentially disable sleep. Turn off file sharing if it's not being used.
Bluetooth settings: Bluetooth can wake your computer if you set the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" checkbox in Bluetooth System Preferences.
Is a keyboard and mouse connected and working correctly?
Do you have any other external USB or FireWire devices connected? Try removing them one by one or disconnect when not in use.
Is Spotlight indexing? This can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours after a new installation. Indexing prevents idle sleep.
Additional Software: Try a Safe Boot to help isolate a software issue.
Sound check: Put your ear near your computer. Do you hear the sounds of hard disk access (a clicking or "clacking")?
Energy Saver settings: If the computer and display sleep timers are set to Never, the computer will not sleep.

I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.hey.
finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend. -
My itunes will not sync because it says I need 52MB of space, however, I have 155MB of space left according to settings, it is an 80GB version with 11750 tunes on,73.95 GB used and no other media, so it would seem it should have space, can anyone help
DennisI ran into a similar problem. I can't remember the user here (BZ something) but they suggested to synch by checking synch only checked items. Then deselect all items and reselect only 1. This should successfully synch. Then, after that is done, select everything you want to synch and it should synch. On my iPhone5 I have 64 GB. The slider bar said I had about 20 GB free but synch failed and said I needed 5 free GB. I had 20 free. Basically what he said was the slider lies ( the media is gone but the file space hasn't been freed up yet). My trouble started when I went from iOS6 to 7. I did what he suggested. I got all my stuff in and still have 14.1 GB free. Hope it works for you.

H.264 Audio Out Of Sync in Media Encoder. Help Needed.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and I find that the best way to get a good video with low file size is by Exporting to Media Encoder and using
the H.264 codec. Note, this is the codec by itself NOT the one used with the Quicktime preset.
Here's the problem : When I export these files, they always end up a few frames slower than what I have on the timeline and the audio is always
out of sync by just less than a second. Although it's a very small difference, timing is crucial in editing when it comes to dialogue as I'm sure anyone who uses Premiere understands.
I have tried tweaking with the settings. I've used VBR 1 Pass, 2 Pass, CBR, Progressive Scan, Upper and Lower fields first, all of that.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how was it solved?
IF not, can anyone give me a good solution as to how I can get good video quality + low file size. The benchmark is a 45second video takes a maximum of 5MB, Quicktime video. Any suggestions or any methods you find better? Any ideas on how the guys at Apple Trailers manage to do the job so well?
All the help is appreciated. Thanks, guys!Hi Jeff, I've experimented with a bunch of formats to find the root of the problem, but for this conversation I'll use a Quicktime (.mov) example.
Source Footage Settings :
Video : 640x268, Millions of colors. FPS : 23.98 Data Rate : 1.15mbits/sec
Audio : AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
Sequence Settings :
Video : Quicktime Movie, Pixel Depth : 640, Frame Rate : 23.976
Audio : Source Audio Format : 44100 Hz - 16bit Stereo. Project Audio Format : 44100 Hz - 32bit floating point - Stereo
Average Data Rate : 141KB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio : 1.0 (Square Pixels)
Export Settings :
Main Concept H.264 Video, Custom Preset.
Video : Frame width & height is same as source. Frame Rate : 23.976. Field Order : None (Progressive) Pixel Aspect Ratio : Square Pixels
Profile : High. Level : 3.0. Encoding : VBR, 1 Pass. Target Bitrate [Mbps] : 1.3. Maximum Bitrate [Mbps] : 1.5
Audio : AAC, Stereo, 44.1 kHz. Audio Quality : High. Bitrate [kbps] : 192. Precedence : Bitrate
Multiplexer : MP4. Stream Compatibility : Standard
NOTE : I have done the same with .avi files as well with the same audio lag issues. As for the file above, it's a trailer off Apple Trailers which also uses the H.264 encoding. To prove that there is a lag, I imported the 'rendered' file back into Premiere, placed it on a seperate layer on top of the original footage in the timeline and pressed play. As expected, there was a difference in audio playback and video was about a frame late.
Any ideas? Thanks! -
Adobe Media Encoder Issue Help
Hello all,
I am having an issue with Adobe Media Encoder that I am hoping to receive some help with. I am rendering out some videos from Premiere and every time I render something larger than 1 GB, I receive this error message:
"Adobe Media Encoder
Could not write XMP data in output file."
It has only started since the last update about a month ago, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!Any help please?! Thank you!

Media suddenly offline, codec problem?
3 AVI files suddenly went offline after i upgraded from CS4 to CS5
I am unable to find a solution to this myself, anyone out there who can help me?
Thank you. <3If you're dealing with files that are showing up with only audio and no video, you may have in issue similar to one I had when moving from CS4 to CS5. Somehow CS5 doesn't read things correctly and can't find all the info in the file. My specific scenario was with RED files in a .mov wrapper, but I've seen it happen with other codecs in a .mov wrapper. Never seen it happen with an .avi wrapper, but there's a first-time for everything, I suppose. Try this solution, given to me by Colin Brougham last fall when I had a similar issue. Fixed mine perfectly.
And here's the fix:
Download MPEG Streamclip, and unzip it--no install needed. The latest beta version is fine.
Open one of the broken files in MPEG Streamclip.
Select File > Save As, and select a new save location. You probably want to keep the file name the same as the original (this is the default).
Hit OK.
Profit!
The full details of my problem and Colin's eventual fix can be found here.
