Missing CF Movie Files

when I opened FCP 5.04 this morning a window appeared asking for missing movie file "CF-dvc appl-720x48010233017. After a search I discovered that it can be found in the "Constant Frame Folder" within the FCP Render folder/ In fact that every project generates those particular 'movie files'.- They seem to be responsible for the 'black/slug in each project', the background goes all green if they are missing. Unfortunateky I couldn't select them, they were all grey and after a series of clicks on 'cancel' FCP crashed and every time after that even a new project would ask for those files...
How do I resolve this problem?

Open up iTunes and go to where the video files are
situated. Right click and click on Get Info, then
look around the tabs (cant remember which one) and
make sure that the movie file is not under 'Music
Video' if it is change it to Movie File.
Maybe I need to clarify,
The video files are no longer in the "Video" folder of iTunes.
They went missing altogether, until I found them in the "Music" folder.
"Get Info" correctly identifies the files as mpeg-4 and will play correctly in Windows under QuickTime. However, playing the same file on the iPod starts up as music, with the some artwork.
So far, I have downloaded http://www.yamipod.com/, copied the files to my hard drive. Now I will deleted them from my iPod and attempt re-add them as video.

Missing .wmv .movie files on conversion to Mac

I recently upgraded to a mac OSX 10.8.4 and have loaded Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to find a number of movie files that are .wmv files.
There are about 10 files in all. I have them all saved in a folder MacintoshHD/Users/saved files. About 5 came across successfully to PSE10. When I try to reconnect to them through PSE it won't let me.
In Finder the files appear there and will play (I have installed flipfinder). If I try to add the files to PSE when I get to the file structure they are all greyed out. Why is this? They can't be 'missing' as they are playable and 5 of them came across. Just can't understand why it has only happened to some files.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.

There is no support for WMV files for the iPhone. Now a player could be written I guess that can play them but that player would be limited to it's own data (eg: cannot be spawned from email message since no app can work as a plug in as part of the rules of the SDK).

Missing codec mov-files

hi guys,
since I reinstalled OS X 10.6.3 PP CS5 won't open a project with mov-files, it couldn't find a codec.
The codecs in the mov-archive are:
MPEG 1/2 (xdve)
PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Timecode
The files were original exported from FCP but worked perfectly well with PP after converting them and before the reinstallation. I upgraded my OS X to 10.6.5 without any success.
Quicktime player plays only the audio, with VLC it works perfectly normal.
Any ideas how I could make them run again in PP CS5?
Thanks a lot!

Did you just update Premiere to 5.0.3? See if the following applies to you: Templates missing since update > 5.0.3
As a quick test, open the New Sequence dialog: you should see many categories and presets like this--
If you don't, you're back in trial mode, and will have to follow the procedure I outlined in the thread linked to above. Sorry...

Missing movie files in iPhoto 08

I have just noticed that in some of my events the movie is missing (the last six). In checking the finder I see that the actual file is missing too. The only changes I have made is to upgrade to snow leopard and I got a magic mouse. There are .mov files in other folder and the movie shows in the iPhoto. I noticed this because the magic mouse wont open the movie files in iPhoto.
So I have two problems: One: where have my recent movies gone that were once iPhoto. (They are not in iMovie and I have checked Time Machine) and two: why wont my mouse open a movie in iPhoto.
Any help will be great!

When you Control-click on one of the missing movie's thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu what do you see?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Audio file missing from MOV when exported as a quicktime movie.

Using Keynote 9, I imported video into presentation that was edited in iMovie 9. When I export the presentation to quicktime movie the audio is missing from the video file. The audio file plays fine in the standard keynote presentation mode.

This is STRICTLY a work around! Official fix will come from Apple as an update more than likely.
Duplicate item first (File > Duplicate). On newly duplicated project change file association type (File > get info). Under name and extension section take out .key). Close Get Info and save with removing .key. Double click to open the file (now a compression). Open uncompressed folder (same name as original file, now shows as a folder). Now in the Data folder find a .mov file named "Recording" with randomly generated letters and numbers behind it. Drag .mov file to desktop or any other directory. Open extracted .mov file with QuickTime to verify integrity. Save as audio file only. Get Info on file again and place .key value at end of file/extension for project. Open project. Under Play menu option delete the recording. Under Audio inspector drag the .mov of audio only to recording back in. Test play project to see if its accurate. Export to QuickTime and see if issue is resolved.
If issue persists:
Export with corrupted audio as QuickTime. Separate the audio from video track. Delete audio. Import the extracted .mov audio file. Share > File. Enjoy.

PDF is missing .mov files

ID CS2, OS X 10.4.11
31 page catalog with 10 interactive .mov links. They are not embedded as they a large. They appear to be properly linked. As I did each page I would Export the individual page and test that the .mov ran. OK. Now when I Export the entire catalog the .mov files can't be found. " cannot be found. The file may not be present."
"Interactive Elements" is checked in the export dialog.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
Bill

The fine lined box is the outline of the "button" that is the movie prompt area.
Are you triggering the movie by clicking the poster area for the movie itself? Or did you turn off the poster?
Are you triggering the movie by clicking a button that plays the movie, or are you clicking the area for the movie.
It's tricky to get rid of that fine line, but the best way to do it is to always prompt the movie by using a separate button.
Also, you can get rid of the fine line by opening the PDF in Acrobat Pro and using the Tools> Advanced Editing (acrobat 8) and click the movie tool or going to Tools> Multimedia (acrobat 9) and choose the Video tool.
Then select the movie area and under Actions delete the Action to play the movie on mouse up. That will prevent the movie area from prompting the movie and only let a button prompt the movie.
And that will get rid of the line. (It's actually a lot easier to do than to write out. But you can't do it in InDesign.)

Premiere Elements 4 audio won't play on mp4 files, codecs missing/unavailable on .mov files

I dowlnloaded Premiere Elements 4, and when I import mp4 files, the video plays but the audio will not. I've also tried to import .mov files, and an error message pops up that says "Codec missing or unavailable." I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime, but that didn't change anything. The files will play back on the video camera, but I"m having trouble with them on my computer. The audio on the mp4 files plays in Quicktime, but not the video, and vice versa when I import them into Elements. Any suggestions?

Does Quicktime Pro also edit .mov files on a PC?

Premiere Elements 4 pretty much works with tape-based digital video. That would be video from a miniDV or HDV tape-based camcorder. It doesn't handle other formats very well.
If you plan to edit MP4s, you definitely want to upgrade to a more current version of the program. If you can't install a current version of the program, you may need to address issues on your computer (such as an outdated operating system or underpowered hardware configuration).
Short of that, you could buy Quicktime Pro from Apple for $29. It will edit MP4s, even on a PC platform.

Premiere CS5 not importing .mov files - codec missing or unavailable

Hi,
I'm on a Windows 7 PC running Premiere Pro CS5. Have encountered a problem with .mov files that I haven't had before. I recently received three files from a shoot at a local tv station. They are .mov files and I believe they are in an XD CAM wrapper or format. I've gotten files from this station before and have imported them with no trouble (not sure if the earlier files were XD CAM, though). When I try to import, I get the error message: Codec missing or unavailable. Would using the Prism video convertor to convert to another format be the way to go? The file sizes range from 7.18 GB to 14.9 GB. Thanks in advance.

Missing photos - cannot reconnect - found in mov file!!

Using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 on Windows XP Pro
Everything worked fine for some time, then error message appeared when trying to print or attach photo to email.... "Searching for missing file". There are about 30 photos that are "missing" although they can be viewed in the album. Tried the "Reconnect" feature but it cannot reconnect the missing files. Searched for the names of the JPG photos and they do not appear in the list... cannot be found. After some research discovered that they were all in an MOV file named "Picture054.MOV". Any idea how they got put into MOV format??? Or how to put them back into the album as JPG photos??
Thanks

Can you help me with my issue? It is on the FORUM UNDER:

Audio missing from old .mov files

Recently I noticed that ALL of the audio from an entire folder of .mov files has disappeared. Video playback is fine. I tried to export from Quicktime to experiemtn but it suggests that the file is corrupt and can't be exported...but all of them? Files are being kept on external drive. Could Lion be causing this somehow? Any ideas how to retrieve the missing audio?

Copy (drag and drop) one of the files to your Desktop and test again.

PE 10 importing .mov files to a Mac, error message regarding codecs missing.. Help, please

Premiere Elements 10 ... When trying to import .mov files directly from the source, error message says, "codecs missing or unavailable". So I'm stuck.

I have no experience working with a Zoom cam. But sometimes it helps if you install the camcorder's software on your computer. This can install the necessary codecs. (And, of course, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.)
Most likely the cam shoots in a proprietary MP4 codec. So starting a new project and setting it up for Flip cam video might also activate the necessary codecs.
If it still won't go, then version may not have the ability to interface with this camcorder's footage.

Missing movie file

I have created a movie in imovie. When I share it with idvd everything is fine and I can burn a dvd (the 1st time). The next time I try to open that dvd project I get a message saying "missing movie file clip 01.dv. Would you like to search for it?" I can't seem to find it anywhere. It says the dvd won't play properly with out it, then idvd usually ends up freezing up. That movie name isn't even part of my original movie. So everytime I want to make a change or burn another dvd of this project, I have to go back into imovie and export to idvd again.
Please help!

If you get a good first burn every time that you initially export your iMovie project to iDVD, try saving the iDVD as a disk image instead of burning a DVD disk. When you save as a disk image iDVD goes through the same encoding process as if you were burning to a DVD disk. Once you have burned a disk image you then can open and close the disk image multiple times to burn multiple DVD disks from the disk image, using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, without again going through the encoding process. So, if the first burn is good, all the other burns will be good.
It is oft recommended to close iDVD and iMovie and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iDVD.plist. When you relaunch, the programs will replace those files with new ones. Then run a permissions repair using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If you are storing your project on an external drive, make sure that the drive is formatted correctly. It should be Mac OSExtended or Mac OS Extended (journaled).
Make sure that you have enough hard drive free space for iDVD to work. It takes at least 5GB of free disk space to burn a disk, and you should have more than that if possible.
Did you actually look into your iMovie media folder to see if Clip 01.dv exists? Control click on your iMovie project icon and select Show Package Contents/Media. See if it's in there.
I know that in iDVD5 (not sure about iDVD6) If you added an asset to your project, and then removed it and deleted it from your hard drive, iDVD would still think that that asset was in the project. Because it was deleted from the hard drive, iDVD wouldn't be able to find it and would report it as a missing asset. Maybe that's what is happening to you here. The solution then would be to retrieve that deleted asset and put it back on your hard drive so you can reinsert it into the project.
Always a good idea to archive your iDVD project rather than just doing an ordinary save. Takes up more disk space, but an archive bundles all of the project assets with it so everything is intact if you move it off to an external drive or another computer. Otherwise, you can get broken links.
Good luck with this.

Movie files "missing" and now show in Music

I do not use auto-sync.
I manually copied some more movie files onto my 80Gb iPod.
After the copy process had completed my original movies are now missing.
They are now in the Music section.
Does anyone knows how to
a) avoid this annoyance in the future
b) get them back into the Movie category.
Cheers
Bae

Open up iTunes and go to where the video files are
situated. Right click and click on Get Info, then
look around the tabs (cant remember which one) and
make sure that the movie file is not under 'Music
Video' if it is change it to Movie File.
Maybe I need to clarify,
The video files are no longer in the "Video" folder of iTunes.
They went missing altogether, until I found them in the "Music" folder.
"Get Info" correctly identifies the files as mpeg-4 and will play correctly in Windows under QuickTime. However, playing the same file on the iPod starts up as music, with the some artwork.
So far, I have downloaded http://www.yamipod.com/, copied the files to my hard drive. Now I will deleted them from my iPod and attempt re-add them as video.
