Offline files still searched after saving project

Hi there,
I ask myself, why FCP is still
looking for an deleted file, after I deleted it
and saved my project again. The file is not edited
in a timeline. Does anyone know ?
Greetings Andrea

If you don't check "Forget File" when you're reconnecting media, FCP will ask you to reconnect it every time you open the project.

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red (both are offline). Attempts at relink result in a warning that the audio will be deleted (which is does when tested).
This project is based on a multicam sequence (2 video files) and using Pro CC (latest Cloud build).
Anyone come across this and/or have a solution? Thanks in advance.

Appreciate your assistance and guidance Mark. Yes, I am a newbie on this forum - and fairly new to premiere pro though have used elements since version 4. I'll answer your leads below.
First off, some bookkeeping & jargon matters:
"you reported the file extension (.mts) but not the codec of the video therein. AVCHD?"
.mts files are Sony AVCHD files. filmed with Sony NXCAM NXU5 camera.
"re: the version you're on, rather than simply stating "the latest," it helps to report the exact version numbers as shown in the About box. That not only avoids any confusion today but also aids customers who come upon a thread months from now."
Version is 7.2.0
"you refer to "rendering" to a new format. I know that "render" is the right term in some NLEcosystems, but with Premiere we distinguish between rendering and exporting/encoding. Rendering is reserved for creating preview files for smoother playback within PPRO, whereas exporting/encoding covers writing a sequence out to an output clip."
My bad - I exported/encoded the sequence to a new output clip.
Now back to our regularly scheduled troubleshooting. Three questions:
did you start this project in CC7.1 and then update to 7.2/7.2.1 along the way?
I started this in 7.2.0
are either of the clips in the multicam sequence spanned?
I don't know what "spanned" refers to
I gather that you created the multicam sequence via the new workflow in the Project panel: select the clips, right-click>CreateMulticamSourceSequence. Am I right?
Correct
If so, please create a new sequence, set the timeline to insert sequences as individual clips (via the left-most button under the timecode control), add the multicam sequence to the new sequence, and post a screenshot of the timeline.
Now all of a sudden I am able to open my project file(s) as before with no problems.... very curious.
I did this and then could not find my multicam sequence.... so no screen shot... BUT what happened?
thank you for your guidance with this.

Win7 Offline Files sync error after upgrade to Lion Server 10.7.2

Symptom: client is a Win7 laptop, the server is Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion Server with SMB and AFP shares. Win7 Offline Files stopped working after I upgraded Snow Leopard (non-server version) to Lion Server 10.7.2. After updating to 10.7.3, the problem persists. When syncing, it gives thounsands of error like this: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. WinXP clients are fine with the Offline Files function though.
I Googled and studied online for several days now and it might be related to the "Oppurtunistic Locking", or "Oplocks" for short, in the SMB protocol. Since Apple has re-written Samba, there's no "smb.conf" anymore to change the Oplocks setting. Maybe it's possible to change the setting in "com.apple.smb.server.plist"?
From the Internet:
1. Oplocks should be DISABLED on the server if there is any other file sharing protocol (AFP, etc.) other than SMB.
2. Offline Files will NOT work properly if Oplocks is disabled on the server side.
3. It was possible to config oplocks setting in smb.conf in Mac OS X versions prior to Lion but now there's no such config file.
My Question:
1. Does anyone else have similar problems?
2. Is it related to the Oppurtunistic Locking thing?
3. Is Oppurtunistic Locking enabled or disabled in Lion Server by default?
4. If it's related to Oplocks, how can I change the setting on the server?
5. I've noticed that the authentication from Windows PCs to the SMB share on the Lion Server is much slower then in SL. Could this somehow be related to my problem?
Thanks for your time! :-D

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO

PowerPoint Makes File Read-only After Saving

Hello all,
A couple of end users have encountered the above problem. They make changes to pptx files and after the file saves, the file becomes read only (says so on the program window). If they are not paying attention, then any other changes they make to the file
need to be saved to another file, which needless to say, is very annoying.
They have saved the file, file becomes read-only, then if they close the file and open it back up, it's fine; they can edit and save.
It happens sporadic. Could it be an autosave happening at the same time? Any others experiencing this?
Any help would be appreciated!
JB

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, I understand that you want to allow changes by more than one user at the same time in PowerPoint . If
there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
In Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, multiple authors can simultaneously change the same presentation stored on a server.
The new co-authoring functionality in Microsoft Office 2010 makes it possible for multiple users to work productively on the same
document without intruding on one another’s work or locking each other out.
More detailed information you can refer to this article

CS5 indd files occasionally change after saving and reopening

Occasionally the contents of my InDesign document will change after saving and re-opening. No errors reported during the save however when the file is opened a text box may be out of place or leading may be messed-up on a few random pages or some of the recent changes may not have been saved. Any ideas?

There was no direct indication that you created the code in a standard module. I asked because you reported that the code works in the sample workbook that you downloaded but not in your own workbook.
I don't know what else to suggest at the moment.
Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as Windows Live SkyDrive (https://skydrive.live.com),
FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com). Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
Or register at www.eileenslounge.com (it's free) and post a message in the Excel forum. You can attach files up to 250 KB to a post there (zipped if necessary).

Files still exist after the copying is disrupted

I have a problem when the large file copy from the laptop to the external USB HDD or NAS (via CIFS share). When the copy is disrupted (either the network is down or the power outrage to my external HDD), the file still exist in the folder but cannot be
read or open. The corrupted file is still showing full size of the file. How can I avoid this?

Hi,
If you copy large files from the laptop to the external USB HDD or NAS, when the copy is disrupted, the files could be corrupted and we unable to read the file's contents. In general, your need to delete the file and copy the file again.
In additional, you could try to use diskpart to repair the disk to recover the files.

Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

Source file not accessible after Move project

After moving a project, one of the source code files cannot be opened. The message:
Resource '/Culinaria/src/SearchMenu.mxml' does not exist.
But it does exist - it's residing in the src directory as it always has and is visible in the package explorer. Double clicking to open it provokes the error. The other files in the project can be opened normally.
As said, this problem has surfaced after a Move of the project.
The problem goes away and then comes back after shutting down Flash Developer and starting it up again.
Also, I cannot view one of the source modules in Design mode - I just get an empty gray screen. Again not the case for every file but just one and it persists after shutting down and restarting Flash Developer. It happens to be the main application file and it shows up on the tab as a simple text file when opened in source mode. Here is the first line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                xmlns:ns1="*"
                width="1500" height="1134.0151"
                backgroundImage="../image/SilvesterTischDeko.jpg" backgroundAlpha="0.85" creationComplete="initCollections();"
                layout="absolute">

Hi Amy,
yes I did Clean the project and a new .swf file is generated (dtLastMod at time of Clean). I can open the module (it's the main application) in source mode but the IDE does not offer the Source/Design buttons and the file icon on the tab is that of a simple text file.
Somehow the Flash Dev. doesn't realize that it is mxml file representing the application even though the header line (see above) is unmistakable.

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

How do I import a PDF file into an After Effects project?

I'm working on a documentary in which I need to display various pages from some PDF files. When I import the files, it only gives me the first page. Is there a way to import more than the first page? Thanks.

You've got a couple of options that will keep the files as PDF's. First, in Acrobat Pro extract pages using the extract each page to separate files option. Second, In Illustrator, Open the pages you want from the open dialogue and save each as a separate file. You can do the same in Photoshop, but you will end up rasterizing the PDF's. Using Acrobat Pro would be the easiest and fastest.
If you don't have Acrobat Pro, and have not downloaded the demo then you've got a few days to complete your project. The only thing that would foul this up would be protected or locked PDF's.
There's one other thing you should be aware of. Most of the time PDF documents are not designed with video in mind. There may be lots of lines and type that's just too small (1 pixel) to successfully end up on a DVD. You're in a little better shape if you're output is destined only for HD, but beware if you're going for SD TV via DVD.

Chapters Won't Stay After Saving Project

I'm transferring a bunch of old VHS tapes through QuickTime and iDVD 7.0.1. I've added chapters every 5 minutes so that I can skip ahead when watching the DVD (I didn't set up a scene selection menu; I just want to be able to jump ahead while watching the video). When I add the chapters and test the video in iDVD, they work fine, but after I save the project, pressing "next" on the DVD player either doesn't do anything, or it stops the video and brings up the main menu.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

First of all you must have a scene selection menu to do this within iDvd.
Secondly, i'd recommend using iMovie 6 as opposed to iMovie 7. It's a free download from apple provided you already have iLife'08 .....
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
Good luck on this.
Reason: iM6 has a much better capacity for recognizing custom scenes/ chapter markers.

Backups - Files still locked after beginarchive

We are using Commvault to backup the files on our UNIX server. We have created a script to run before the backup starts. The script does this:
DISABLELOGIN "appname";
DISABLELOGIN "appname2";
LOGOUTALLUSERS "Y";
BEGINARCHIVE "appname" "dbname" "appname_Arch.lst";
BEGINARCHIVE "appname2" "dbname2" "appname2_Arch.lst";
The script runs fine, but when the backup are still hanging up on some files that are locked. We noticed some files have an "l" (lower case L) as one of the permissions, which means "mandatory locked", but not sure if that has anything to do with this issue. We would prefer to not have to shut Essbase completely down to take backups. Any suggestions?

ITunes U files still playing after I deleted the app

I have an iPhone 4 using iOS 6.1. I deleted the iTunes U app, as well as the Podcast app because every time I plugged my phone into my car's USB port, it would automatically start playing the same iTunes U course instead of starting Spotify like it did before I got the app. I know this is my car just reading the first audio file it can find as if my phone was an iPod, so I just deleted the whole iTunes U app because I got really sick of hearing "Hello, and welcome to the new psychology of bla bla with bla bla and bla bla." REALLY annoying. SO, I deleted iTunes U then it started playing the Podcast App. I then deleted the Podcast app WHILE IT WAS PLAYING MIND YOU, and it continued to play! Even though I deleted the app and all it's content. I then turned my phone off and back on thinking that would help and I could not believe that when I plugged it back into the USB port, I heard, "Hello, and welcome to the new psychology...." I AM GOING INSANE HEARING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Seriously. The lock screen had the course picture on it as it was playing and when I hit "next" it started playing the next lecture too! How is this possible when I deleted the app, can't find anything about iTunes U on my phone now, so I don't see anything left to delete! I am also running out of space on my phone like crazy. It says it's capacity is 6GB, and I only have about 300MB of that left....When checking my usage on the phone, I added up all the apps and how much space they take up and it only comes out to about 3GB. WHERE IS ALL MY OTHER SPACE & how do I get these hidden files off my phone I am so f***ing frustrated with how slowly my phone is running because of this bull... I can't even update my iOS because I don't have enough space...even though I should have tons of extra space. Every time a new iPhone comes out, my old one starts to act funny.

ILikewindows wrote:
... I didn't know I could delete it through iTunes.
Now that you know, try deleting through iTunes. If that does not remove the image file, then place the app you mistakenly deleted back in the file folder from your latest backup and try deleting through iTunes again.

Compiled CHM File Does Not Reflect New Project Name

I have read many of the experts' responses to posts and found them extremely helpful. However, I have not seen one that addresses my issue.
I have RH HTML Version RH8. I renamed a project via 1) File - Rename Project and 2) Single Source Layouts - Primary Layout - Properties - Output Folder and File Name.
Two problems are: 1) The Project Folder name still reflects the old project name and 2) The CHM file still reflects the old project name.
As a result, the output Help that the user sees still has the old project name in the title bar.
All generated files as well as the RoboHelpHTML Project File were changed to the new project name, just as the RENAME PROJECTS Help says it should. However, the CHM file does not reflect the new project name as it says it should.
1) Can I change the Folder name that was created when I compiled the Help file to the correct name?
2) Can I change the FILENAME in the SELECT OUTPUT FOLDER AND FILENAME window?
3) Can I / should I rename the TOC and Index filenames from the old project name to the new project name? (Help says that changing the project name does not change these file names and it didn't.)
Will any of these actions correct the problem? I appreciate any help you can give.

Welcome to our community
Try File > Project Settings.
And if that doesn't get it, try the Project Set-up pod, windows and change the Window Caption.
Cheers... Rick

Dynamic link in Encore to get AE project, bluray, after transcoding, file still shows untranscoded

Hi,
I have an After Effects file. I have several comps that are 1920x1080 at 29.97 drop frame. When I go to Encore, I use, Import After Effects Composition and import several compositions from my AE project. I've tried using both Automatic transcode settings and I've tried to set the settings myself. When I transcode, Encore goes through the motions, but when it's done, the file still shows "Untranscoded". I have checked the project folder and confirmed that the transcoded files are indeed there, but Encore still shows them as untranscoded. What is going on?
Thanks,
Stan

Hi,
Transcod your comp in AME. Choose H.264 Blu-Ray if you have more than 2 hours videos.
Bye
Steph
