PE12 Instant Movie Project Media Offline

I'm using PE12 and downloaded Outdoor Adventure template. Ran the instant movie and then in a couple places I found a red screen with "Media Offline" in about 15 different languages. The event log says problem with 3 PNG files but I verified the files exist in the Outdoor Adventure template folder. I deleted the template and downloaded again but still received same error.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

A.T. Romano
Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I am running windows 7 pro under the actual administrator account not as a local user with admin rights
Since I am logged in as the administrator is this still necessary?
Still get the error but I did save the project file and re-open. I had not previously saved the project. When I re-open I get the same red screen
This time the event "error" log has only 2 events and also a message popped up asking me to link the file "outdoor-adventure_s_texture.png"
I looked in the folder C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Online\Movie Themes\All_Lang\Event\Outdoor Adventure and the file was missing.
I copied the file "outdoor-adventure_texture.png" and just modified the name to "outdoor-adventure_s_texture.png" and the error message went away.
I downloaded the theme pack once, cleared it out, and re-downloaded. I guess that file is missing.
Here is event list

.MOV files Media offline Line Premiere CC - Any ideas. ?

Hey all.
I am have a problem with .MOV files displaying in the premiere timeline. The .MOV files were converted to that in the Go Pro software.
A/ I have just opened a project via a USB 3 raid drive. The project was created on a windows 7 machine running Premiere CC.
B/ Now I have opened it on a different newer windows 7 machine with more Ram and I7 compared to I5
C/ All of the .MOV footage is no longer displaying. I have installed Quicktime on the machine and it makes no difference.
Any ideas what is stopping the footage displaying? . It is showing Media Offline. I checked and all of the footage is still in the same place on the raid drive.
Machine one Windows 7 Now has a paid version of Full Premiere CC ( I can still open it on this old I5 Machine )
Machine Two Windows 7 Trial version of Premiere CC The footage was edited on the other machine while CC was in Trial version so, I feel that is not the issue.
Any idea are appreciated, Am I missing a Codec ?
Thank you for any input.

This was this Free codec that I needed.

The .MOV Go Pro Footage is now working. It is now just the .MOV lower 3rds from Audio Jungle that are not displaying.

Thumbnails in one project "Media Offline" but Canvass OK

One of my projects now has replaced the thumbnails in some of the clips in the timeline with red and "Media Offline. However, the media is online in the browser, and viewing the clips in the Viewer and playing the Timeline in the canvas perform normally. Other projects are not affected. How can I correct that please?

Probably those cplis were offline for a while (external disk temporarily not connected ?), and when they were reconnected again their thumbnails were not updated.
When it happened to me I just deleted the thumbnail cache and FCE automatically rebuilt them.

Any1 know a tried and tested way to move project/media back/forth 2 laptop

and back to desktop?
Basically I need to copy my project and its media (DV) to a laptop to be cut down and then I need to bring that cut sequence back to my desktop system and have it reference the orginal media on my drives. I have tried using media manger to export a recompressed project for the laptop and copied that project back and reconected it to the orignal media however I have issues with aspect (I'm working in 16:9) and media start and end time conflicts. I'm sure this should be possible anyone ever have to this before? Thanks for any help.

Use two. Duplicate the media from one to the other, so they both have exactly the same footage. You work on your Desktop, the other guy on the laptop.
Then, when you share your projects, all you have to do is reconnect.
This is EXACTLY what my producer and I are doing. He is in Long Beach, I am in Los Angeles, in the Valley. We are about 1.5 hours away from each other, and each work in our home office. When I have a cut, I simply give him an XML of the cut, or send a project file with the sequence and he opens it and reconnects, then renders, then watches. So far we have only tested this, as we start serious cutting next week, but so far each test has been successful.
And in the end I am going to end up with hundreds of tapes (large series) >and it wont be practical to use firewire drives.
Why not? Use multiple drives. Have two or three drives on each machine. Should work fine.
Thus far we have captured 40 hours of material (DVCPRO HD 720p24 at FULL resolution) and they all fit on one 500GB G-Raid. We have two each.

PrEl 9. Do star ratings affect Instant movie results?

Hi everybody.
Do the star ratings that you assign to your videos in the Elements Organizer have any weigh or effect on the clips that are chosen by Adobe when you do an Instant Movie project?
I fist did a (rather typical) zoo movie, where the elefant turned out to be the main subject of the instant movie rather than my family. I guess the elefant clip was better iluminated, steady, etc and had the right smart tags so that it was shown a lot of times.
In another project for one of my kid's birthday I assigned star ratings to the clips that I liked before I ran the auto analyzer and created an instant movie. In the end I had more of the clips I liked in my instant movie.
I don't know if this was mere coincidence or if star rating had anything to do with it. I couldn't find any reference to star ratings in the premiere elements help where it talks about instant movie projects.
What has been your experience on this?
Thanks,
Asdrubal.

Thank you Steve.
I know the star rating doesn't affect the clips, I just wondered if they had any effect on the Instant Movie algorithms.
Like you say they must be only for personal reference, as there is no mention of them in the instant movie help files.

Media Encoder saying .mov clip is offline during export whn it isn't

Premiere Pro CC user here. Sorry for the lack of detail. I'm on break at work on a different computer and unable access the project until tonight but need an answer asap.
I'm trying to export a H264 video which renders and plays fine on the timeline in Premiere, only, when I queue the content on Media Encoder, I get a message saying that there is some offline content in the sequence, If I go ahead with the export, the said clip is displayed with a 'Media Offline' card.
The actual clip is .mov lower third graphic downloaded from a graphics site that I've never experienced problems with before and, as I said, it renders and plays fine on the timeline. Premiere never seems to have any problem locating it as it's stored in the same place as everything else. The only indication I have that there's anything at all different about the clip is that it appears purple on the timeline.
This might be something obvious but it's nothing I've ever come across and google isn't yielding any answers so I was hoping somebody might have a solution.

I have the same problem, it happens to me only with mpeg from captured the sony hvr and h.264 in mp4 format. Looks and plays fine in premiere pro, can export straight from premiere but when loaded into AME shows media offline.
Yesterday I tried this and it worked:
deleted media cache both ame and premiere pro
un-ticked "enable native premiere pro sequence import"
closed ame
closed premiere
restarted premiere and sent sequence to ame, everything works fine.
Notice: it only seems to happen when importing a set of large files, and trying to export while premiere is still conforming. maybe.

Media Offline not offline and unable to re-import sound and movie files

I'm getting the dreaded red Media Offline screen and I've tried everything to fix it. To explain I am working on a movie with sound and various bunches of still images imported as numbered stills to be automatically converted to a movie for an exhibition. All well and I was bringing the finished project into Encore when something happened... I don't know, maybe it's because all of the files are on an external hard drive (LaCie) and I had to plug into the LaCie another harddrive with my CS4 install files on it to install Encore... Whatever it was it broke the connection and even though all the files are still there Premiere can't see them. And when I try and re-import them it gives me the message "File video dimensions (width/height) too large" even though it is the same project. And it gives me the same message even with the sound file. From googling I have tried: deleting .xmp files on the HD, repairing disk admissions, creating a new project in Premiere and re-importing the files to see if that worked - didn't work, still kept up the same "File video...too large" message and this is even after..re-updating the software (up-to-date but re-installed it anyway).
I can only think of two other things: it's the hard drive or to get CS6 somehow. Can anyone suggest something else to fix?

Well it can't be a codec problem either as I am mostly only using jpegs in numbered stills. anyone help?

How can I open an AEP project and make all media OFFLINE?

Hi There,
I am working with an AEP file that is on the network that has pretty heavy media files linked to the project. Every time I open the file over the network, AE takes FOREVER to open it. I remember somebody showed me a way to open up a file and making all the media offline. Something like holding ALT when pressing the open button on the Open File dialog. Although, I can't remember if this is right. I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this so I can open up the project without waiting, and simply link the files that I really need to be linked so I can work quicker.
Anybody have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and help!

>You can just change the name of the folder where your sources are stored.
That works well for Windows, but Mac OS is a little trickier. The OS keeps track of folder name changes (even on network directories) and will re-direct requests appropriately. Very cool for users, very bad if you're trying to fool a program like AE. (Had to struggle with this about a month ago to offline some files.)
The only way I was able to make it work was by changing the name of the folder from a different computer while the main computer was disconnected from that server.

I have PR cs6 and my mac has recently upgraded itself from iPhoto where i imported all my photos and film from to "photos" now all of my current project is showing 'media offline' AAAAARGGGH!! now i can't see anything. the audio is fine but everything els

can anyone help me get all of my edited holiday video visible again? my mac upgraded itself from iPhoto where i keep my imported video and photos, to "photo" now all of my current project (and probably old ones as well! ) are showing media offline. how can i get this back seeing the clips on 'photo'?

When you open a project you need to point PPro to the new media location and relink
>mac upgraded itself from iPhoto
THAT is not good... I am Windows, but at least a Windows update gives ME the option of unchecking an update

"media offline" at every project start

Hello,
I have a problem with the "media offline" note.
At every start of a project in adobe premiere elements, a number of media files were not loaded correctly ("media offline"). Most of the media files (video clips) are succesfully connected by premiere elements, but some not.
I did not change the directory of the files or the project. The media cache is in the same directory as the project.
Also, it doesn't matter if I re-connect the video files. At the next start of the project, there will be some media offline again (not always the same files!).
Thanks for help,
Klaus.

Klaus,
One workflow, that might be helpful to you, is how I handle my Still Images and Video files:
I first archive my files to my NAS unit, for secure storage, using a folder structure that makes sense for me. That might be by date created, or by subject matter.
Then, when I go to create a Video Project, I create a sub-folder structure, below the "root folder," for that Project, say, E:\[Project Name]\Still Images, then Video, then Graphics, etc.. For the Video, I then Copy over the necessary files, for that Project, and then Import those from there. I still have the originals on my NAS, for safe keeping, and use in other Projects.

When I share my, 1 hour i movie project with media browser, I lose audio after 45 minutes

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
clip-2008-11-21 18; 37; 22 1 is not conventional nomenclature for imported clips, it seems as though this clip may have been imported twice and one of the copies deleted after it has been used in the project. Have you looked in the events folder for such a clip.

In APE 10 I cannot ADD MEDIA to an instant movie (still pics)

How do I change the settings to allow transfer of pic folder from Elements 10 to create an instant movie in APE 10? I continually get an error message that states the pics are too large in dimensions (width/height)?? Any directions would be appreciated.

Were the Still Images Scaled to match the Frame Size of the Project in PrE 10?
If not, Scale those overly-large Still Images.

Getting "Media Offline" After Archived Project to HDD to Another Computer

Hello,
How do you avoid getting media offline when transferring a project to another computer's C drive?
I use PrE9 and decided to transfer my project to another computer for performance purposes. I archived the project (copy, not trim) to an external hard drive first, making sure to synchronize the drive letters of the HDD in both old/new computers beforehand. Working from the external drive is fine -- no media offline issues -- but I wanted to transfer the archived project to my new computer's C drive. After doing so, the project is now riddled with media offline messages. I'd rather not deal with the clips individually as there are too many.
What step(s) am I missing? I'm sure it's easy, but this amateur has a lot to learn.

Well, when one changes the drive letter (or any part of the Absolute Path) with linked media, the first time that the Project has been Opened, those links will be broken. PrE should give you the dialog screen, asking "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into much more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=0

Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.
