No effects in inspector or media browser

Bought a new 8 cores and installed FCS, Livetype (2.1.3) and Motion. There is nothing in my effects tab in the media browser. I am assuming the reason there is nothing in the effects tab of the inspector window is that I have no effects in place when I type in a title.
I did a search and saw the posts on Livetype freezing up with a title with effects but in my case that can't happen as I have no effects.
Am I missing something obvious or ??
thanks gang . . . love the boards

No livetype in the applications support folder. Was only missing effects. Didn't update to OSX 10.5.7. Can play a grandfathered title with effects but can change that effect only. Did a repair permissions, zapped the pram . . . but still nothing. So had a good friend more knowledgeable than me send me a zip file of the effects and I am back in business.
thanks Nick for you help.

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

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.

Flashing Inspector and media browser

While working a very complex project. Keynote 08's inspector and the media browser start to flash when I start to make any setting changes. This only happens on my Powerbook G4 (2gb ram, 120gb HD, 133). I don't have this issue on my G5. Anyone have any suggestion?

Can't preview the effect in media browser

After publishing template as fcp generator in motion 5 and installing the plugins for fcpx, the fcpx close suddenly when I point the effect of plugins or the template to preview it in the media browser. The effect previewed in the media browser is just a blue screen.... How can I do to prewiew it as normal as other build-in effects?

It appears you are running an earllier version of FCP X than 10.0.9. There have been numerous posts on the forum that FCP X earlier than 10.0.8 or 9 do not work with Mavericks. Usually it is graphics related. I woulld upgrade to FCP X 10.1 and you should be fine. Seems that 10.0.9 is no longer available on the App store.

Effects/media browser panel on left keep popping back to default when i switch to other programs and then back to Premiere

i wish the panel on the left can stay effectsControls and media browswer...
it always revert back to default ... to audio mixers ... is there a way to fix this?

Change your Workspace to Edit Workspace for example ( and save it as a Custom one)
BTW - I have never seen Audio Mixer and Effects Controls in a Panel with Media Browser from any of the Default WorkSpaces.

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Do not render. Export.

ITunes is empty in Media Browser

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with the Media Browser in iMovie and iPhoto 09 on Snow Leopard (upgraded): The part "iTunes" is empty.
But everything is fine in iDVD and also in the finder part "Media" when you "Open a file".
I tried to reinstall iLife 09, tried iLife spport 903, tried to delete iApps.plist iMovie.plist and iphoto.plist and reopened the apps in different orders. So far, nothing.
I tried to reinstall the mediabrowser.framework using Pacifist, nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Alright, I solved this problem at least for myself. Hopefully this works for all of you guys.
(Note: Quite all iLife and iWork applications before doing this)
Step 1. Download and install Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
Step 2. Insert Snow Leopard Disc
Step 3. Run Pacifist
Step 4. Click "Open Apple Install Discs"
Step 5. Select Install Disc in Pop Up Dialog and select "Choose" (it can take a couple of minutes for the disc to load)
Step 6. In the search field at the top of the window type "mediabrowser" (no space) and the second result should be a folder. When you select it it should show that the file path is Library>Application Support>iLifeMediaBrowser
Step 7. Select the iLifeMediaBrowser folder and click the "install" button in the top left of the window
Step 8. Click "Install" in the pop up dialog then input your password in the next window and hit ok
Step 9. Enjoy your media browser being up and running again
If there is a dialog that says something about possible file damage or something to that effect, just hit continue. You'll be a o.k. and up in running again.
I hope this helps any of you!

Suddenly Missing Images and Media Browser iPhoto issues in 1.1.2

Using iWeb 1.1.2. All of the sudden when I open my website in iWeb, many of the images are now displaying as envelopes with question marks. When I click on them in the inspector it shows them linked to the correct image file in iPhoto. At the same time, now when I try to drag photos from my iPhoto library onto the page I get a hyperlink instead of the actual photo. This just started happening (possibly since updating to 1.1.2, since I haven't used iWeb in awhile).
Thanks,
Mike

Correction - when I try to drag photos from *the Media Browser* onto the page I get a hyperlink instead of the actual photo. And this is not a Photo layout...it's just a normal page based on a template.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

Can't see any photos in media browser in other apps

I have my iPhoto library on an external drive due to its size as well as multiple user profiles on this box. No problem when I open iPhoto everything shows up all nice and organized, but if I'm working in another app that uses the media browser to allow quick access to photos (iMovie, Keynote, etc., or iTunes for syncing purposes) there is nothing. Any thoughts? Is there a way to tell the media browser/inspector where my iPhoto library is located so I can see my pics?

Terence,
Thanks for the kind response. Just checked, and the external drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). As further specific, both the library [package] and the image files themselves are stored on this external driver. One other twist: the iPhoto library is set up as a 'referenced' library (that is, I have UNchecked 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' in iPhoto>Preferences>Advanced). Not sure if this is complicating things.
Things work quite well in iPhoto itself. I have no issues accessing or managing photos in iPhoto. They simply don't appear anywhere else in OSX (e.g. the media browser, Front Row, or iTunes).
Any other troubleshooting suggestions?
Cheers,
Mitch

Only iTunes shows up in the Music and Sound media browser

I just upgraded to FCP 10.1 and I'm noticing that the media browser only show iTunes content in Music and Sound. No sound effects (foley, etc.) are included as before.
Is this simply that FCP no longer includes these or should there be something other than iTunes there?

Thanks Tom. After a few reboots, music is back. Thanks again. Looking for the "solved" button and nothing. I will marked solved when I am able to.
Thanks again.
Best.
Tom

OWC RAID 5 not showing up in PPro Media Browser

Hello all,
I've seen other threads about OWC RAIDs not showing up in PPro and the solution has been to use the Mac's Disk Utility to reformat the drive. Disk Utility can't do RAID 5 though and that's what my 16TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is set to. If I use the File->Import command I can see the OWC RAID but it is not present in the Media Browser (nor in the window that pops up to re-link offline media). FCP 7, AVIC MC 6.5 and After Effects CC2014 all 'see' and interact with the OWC RAID just fine. The problem seems to be isolated to Premiere's Media Browser function.
If anyone has a suggested work around I'd love to hear it.

So it turns out the answer was in front of me all along, just use Disk Utility to format the drive and all is well.
What threw me was that Disk Utility only does RAID 1 and RAID 0 but since the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is a hardware RAID I just set the RAID mode using the switch on the enclosure and then use Disk Utility to format it like I would any other disk.
The simplicity of the solution coupled with my lack of experience with RAID boxes proved to be my undoing. haha.
With that being said, I'd still like to see if Adobe can fix the issue w/the default OWC formatting tool.

IWeb crashes every time with media browser

I've been searching the forums looking for a solution for the iWeb media browser bug in iLife 06 but I haven't been able to find a solution. I do not have flip4mac installed and just in case I moved out all .avi's out of the movie folder into another folder on the hard drive
Specs
MacBook Pro 1.83 (1 gig RAM)
OS/X 10.4.6
iLife 06
iWeb v1.1
Any sort of assitance would be greatly appreciated

Christopher,
Pinwheels (commonly known as "The Beachball of death") is not a crash, usually means there's not enough RAM.
When the program "crashes" the app. closes completely and a window appears stating the app has unexpectedlty quit and you have a choice of closing the window and doing nothing, trying to re-open the app, or you can send a bug report to Apple. With enough bug reports sent to Apple they will update a patch. Since this sounds like a RAM-deprived computer struggling w/ insufficient memory causing impatient users to force-quit, there is effectively no bug report sent to Apple, simply because there is no bug.
Your OS alone (tiger) requires 512 RAM to operate, along with iWeb and any other apps running...
Upgrade your RAM and I'm sure you'll see improved performance. Repairing Permissions never hurt either.
If that doesn't work try opening a Finder window and dragging your files from there to iWeb.

Media Browser Search Frustration

I recently moved to Audition from Logic Pro X as I now own a PC rather than a Mac. I want to use Audition for film mixing/sound design. Overall I REALLY like Audition but the inability to use a search function in the media browser to find specific sound effects is kinda disappointing. I'd like to find a workaround to this problem. Can anybody recommend a light piece of software that I could run alongside Audition that will allow me to search my sfx library specific sound effects (ie: 'footsteps on concrete') and provide me with an immediate result which I could preview autoplay (by single clicking) and then drag into Audition? Any help/advice/suggestions would be so appreciated. Cheers!

Hmmmm...for similar reasons to you (I do some video but a LOT of theatre sound design work) I like the idea of a search function. It would save me time too. I feel a feature request coming on.
Since I've been working with Audition for years, I've never really thought about this. My personal work flow is to hunt out every bit of sound I think I might want before I even open Audition, transfer it to a folder that will become my session folder, then open Audition and start working. If I discover anything I'm missing, I tend to use the Windows search function and/or Windows explorer, again outside Audition.
