Offline Red Screen Please Help!

Hi everyone!  I put a video file I made onto an external harddrive (500 gigs).  I tried to bring this file up on my computer.  What is now showing on my software (Premiere Elements 4) is a red screen with the words "media offline" in several languages.  What do I need to do to retrieve the file?  It took me a long time to make this video and do not wish to do this again.  Adobe will not answer my question.
Thank you,

In addition, I often edit to/from externals on my laptop and my workstation. The setting of the drive letter is used in the OS of each machine.
I also am using copies of my Assets (originals stored elsewhere) and I keep these organized under the [Project Name] root folder, with sub-folders for "Video," "Music," "Stills," etc. The nice thing about doing it this way is that PE/PrPro is pretty smart, when it cannot find an Asset. When the "Can't Find... " screen pops up, you only have to navigate to the appropriate sub-folder and find the first file. Premeire will then locate all other Assets in that folder.
If the Assets are scattered about, then one may have to navigate to the location of each to get them all re-Linked. Good Project setup and housekeeping can go a very long way toward a rewarding editing experience.
I inherited an existing Project, where 2000+ Assets were scattered all over an external. Many had the same exact file names too, but were in different folders (many not sub-folders of the Asset-type)! I had to play the "approval" DVD's (there were 4 @ 2 hrs. each) on one machine, while I re-Linked each Asset by hand. This took most of two full days. Proper prior planning goes a very long way to keeping things straight and making life so much easier.

  • Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!

    I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall.  Is there a way to remedy this?  Please help!
    Drew.

    I think I figured out the issue.  Thanks for all your advice.  I'll repost if I have any other problems.

    Subject: Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!
    Drew,
    How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
    Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
    Good luck,

    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • My ipad2 won't let me install apps , when I trie to install an app it says waiting but there is no loading circle on the top of my screen , please help ! ?

    I tried to install the new update for minecraft pocket edition then all of a sudden it won't load ! It said "waiting" for almost an hour ! Nothing will load :( , then I tried to delete the app and re- install it , still the same problem :( . I turned my iPad off and on then restarted it still no hope ! . I thought it was just the app so I tried installing another 1 but it had the same problem . I was going to reboot it but that would mean loosing my stuff so I tried to back it up using iCloud but when I tapped "back up now " it won't load either !! Please help , I'll appreciate it loads thanks you !!

    Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

    You are not having the same problem, the OP's problem was caused by USB devices which you do not have.
    I suggest you start your own thread (as this is marked solved not many will look at it)

  • I accidently downloaded a virus on my iphone which means i cannot open my safari because it just crashes and goes to a blank screen. please help

    i accidently downloaded something as i opened a site. it now means i cannot use safari because everytime i try to open it, it just goes to a blank black page and wont let me do anything. what can i do? please help! my iphone is either a 3G or 3GS?

    You cannot get a virus on an iPhone unless it is jailbroken. The site you displayed may be corrupt, however. Press the HOME button if not on the HOME screen, then press it again. Hold your finger on the Safari app that appears in the recently used ribbon, then tap the "-" to close it. Next go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History, then Clear Cookies and Data.

  • I repaired a cracked iphone 5c screen now I have a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. please help!!

    Hi all,
    Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
    I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display.  I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
    Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.
    Thanks.
