PP CS4 won't relink offline media

Can anyone help me trouble shoot my Premiere Pro CS4? It would refuse to let me save anything, freeze and make me force quit it over and over, finally it told me to reinstall. So i did but now none of my previous timelines work, the media is all either offline or just not playing when i try to playback. When i try to relink the offline media it tells me the file dimensions are too big. What can i do? This is a big project which needs to be completed urgently and i don't want to have to start over losing weeks of work.
I'm using a macbook pro and an education version of the adobe masters collection.

Hi all, thanks for your help but neither of those solutions are working. I have found an autosave in which most of the media is still linked but not all of them and I am still being told that the file dimensions are too large to link, despite being from tapes i captured using premiere pro. While all clips are in the same place as where i edited them, the ones that appear to still be linked are blank and will not play.

Jeff covers two of the biggest reasons that Media is Offline, and why one might not be able to relink to the media. This ARTICLE goes into detail on a few other reasons. The biggest question, and also at least part of the solution, is "why is the media offline?" One of the main causes is that something changed in the Path to the media, which is absolute. Then, when PrPro cannot find that media, it asks "Where is file ____ ?" and the user chooses anything but the Finder to locate that media, then Saves the Project. All media with changed Paths will then show as Offline. However, manually relinking will correct that. In your case, you are failing in that relink operation, so Jeff's suggestions take on even greater importance. Still, by defining WHY the media is showing offline, might be useful in determining how to relink. Good luck, Hunt

Relinking offline media

A few months ago I upgraded to Premeir Pro 6.
And I jsut started started to work with some premier files in After effects yesterday.
Today my computer would not boot propperly (It took 4 attempts). Now premier is acting strange. Many of my files that I had renamed in my project panel went offline. Normally I would just relink them but Premier is not helping me do this. Since I renamed the files in the project I dont remember what the original (numerical) files are called in the folder where they are strored.
It looks like they are all there but Premier cannot find them for some reason.
Also I upgraded to 6.0.1 but this is not helping. It might even be the cause of the problem.
Any suggestions?
I dont think this is normal behaviour...
thanks
Krysten

Well, the reboot troubles certainly aren't normal. You'd be well advised to sort that out first.

FCP won't reconnect offline media

OK, I've read several pages, but can't find anyone with the same problem.
for no apparent reason FCP made all my freshly captured clips offline. (We did have a power outage, but that's all I can think of that might have done anything.) I did not move or rename any files. Just opened up FCP and they were ALL offline. All of them have the correct reel number.
Tried to reconnect, but got the message that there was "not proper content" to reconnect...
So, I moved the files to trash, and manually recaptured. Now about half of them again say they are offline, and FCP refuses to accept them when I try to reconnect. This time, it is just the audio file that is offline.
I remember this happening once before, but not to this extent.
I tried trashing the FCP thumbnail cache as well.
I tried renaming the files with .mov as well.
Am I trying to operate FCP on a Mac that is too slow or something like that? I've been using this version of FCP for a long time. Just using a different computer. And I'm stuck with this iMac.

Has the media itself corrupted? If so then you should treat yourself to the "FCS Maintenance Pack" .. there's nothing else like it out there for Final Cut Studio users :
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsmaintenance/
Amongst its many tools you'll find a QuickTime Repair tool, and in a worse case scenario, a Media Salvage tool
If the media is ok then you should treat yourself to "FcpReconnect" ... yet another must have tool for every working FCP editor :

Offline Media

I have AME 2014.1 set to not render when there is any offline media. The render will fail with the sheep sound and provide the offline media explanation. That's fine, it stops me from wasting time on an export that I won't be able to use.
The problem is that since the October update, there is a lot of 'offline media" that really isn't offline. When I go back into PP, everything is fine. If I change the AME setting and let the export continue, thus allowing me to find just where AME thinks media is offline, that very same clip is just fine in PP.
So my question is, why is AME suddenly seeing media as offline that's really not? Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Open AME's preferences and turn off "Import Sequences Natively". Now resend your sequence. Does the problem go away?
It's really strange that this would start only after the update. If the solution I suggest solves the problem I'd be interested in doing some further troubleshooting when you have time so we can narrow down what it is about the project that it thinks is offline.
btw.. I am reasonably certain this will work for Jim. Inger123, I'm not sure. Please try it and let me know.

Reconnecting offline media issues after moving files

Hi I am having a bit of a headache with offline media files in final cut. Our data requirements have recently outgrown the internal drives on our mac pro so we have switched to keeping all of our footage/projects etc on an external network raid (freenas). After moving all the footage over to the new drive final cut understandably asks to reconnect media so I point it in the direction of the new location and click search.... It searches through but finds nothing so I hit locate and manually point it to one of the offline files. It finds maybe 2or3 (out of over 2500) of the files then asks to locate more and so on. I spent an afternoon reconnecting all the offline media and all was fine until today when half the files showed as offline as final cut decided to start looking for them in their old location and not the new location I specified previously so I had to spend hours reconnecting them manually a few at a time again.
I'm worried that I would needto make a quick change to the edit and when I open a project final cut has a tantrum and says stuff is offline then won't let me quickly reconnect everything at once, instead making me do it one or two clips at a time
Does anyone know why it's doing this and what I need to do to make it stop???
Many thanks in advance!

I hate to say 'you built this house' but you might have. Although FCP's media manager has been crap since it came into being in v2... it still is the best way to move media around. BUT - THAT said, if you at least kept the CAPTURE SCRATCH folders intact it shouldn't have been that much of a problem to get stuff loaded back in.
I'd say... keep plugging away, bit by bit.
Good luck,

No Audio after Relinking mxf Media Files - Premiere Pro CS3

Product: Premiere Pro CS3 - Version 3.2.0
Hardware: Pentium 4; 3 GHz; 1GB RAM
Hard Drives: Using 2 external 1TB Hard Drives for my film's storage and access
Clips: High Def mxf files
User Experience Level: Novice
Whenever I unplug one or both of my external hard drives - or - forget to turn them on before entering Premiere, I am required to relink my clips. After relinking, and upon entering my Project, I click "Play" in the Timeline Window to begin editing for the day - to realize: "the Audio Is Silent."
To experiment on how I can get the audio to work:
1)I've clicked on an individual mxf clip file in the Project Window
2)Clicked Media Offline in the Project menu drop down list
3)Copied and pasted the Offline Media mxf clip file to a new folder in the same project
4)Clicked on the Offline Media mxf clip file in the new folder
5)Clicked on Link Media in the Project menu
6)Dragged the Linked File into a new sequence
7)Clicked Play and Still No Audio
8)Additionally tried to play the clip in the Source Monitor, Still no Audio
A friend suggested something about offline editing - copying the file somewhere else and relinking but I'm not sure of the process now apart from what I enumerated above.
Would any of you Premiere Pro geniuses be willing to help a wannabe Premiere Pro user? I'm not giving up and appreciate any advice you could give me! Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely, susan

Locating Path for Offline Media

I have some offline clips in my project and the media is spread accross multiple hard drives. Is there anyway to find the path (in the directory) to locate the offline media? I know Premiere has the data because if the correct drive is plugged in the media connects automatically.
I would just like to see the path so I dont have to 'trial and error' plug in every drive I have till the media goes online. I often rearrange and delete things which makes media go offline, so if I could see the path I would know what it is that premiere is looking for and could relink it to the new location. In Final Cut you would just right clip on the clip, select "recconect Media" and it would then tell you where FCP is looking for the offline clip (ie: Macantosh HD/Users/Benjie/Desktop/Partnerships Footage Day 01). Having this path infomation saves hours of searching, does anyone have the solution?
I am using CS6 on Moutain Lion
Thanks

This is only possible with the newest Premiere Pro CC. For earlier versions, you're pretty much stuck guessing.

I installed Lion and now CS4 won't open. I get a note that Java Runtime needs to be installed and to open Adobe again and it will let me, but it doesn't and it also won't update Java...

I installed Lion and now CS4 won't open. I get a note that sayd "you need to install Java runing, but you are not connected to the internet (BUT I AM CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET). It goes on to say "to install Java runtime later, open "Adobe Illustrator CS4" again....I try but it still won't let me open Adobe Illustrator or update Java

Office365(Click to Run) Deployment with MDT Offline Media

Hi,
I have a scenario where i have to deploy Office365 using click to run with MDT offline media. Now the problem is with configuration.xml file in which we specify the source path of office files.
Here in this scenario as i have to deploy client machines with offline media, so in this case what will be the path in the config.xml file?
For testing purpose, after downloading the office source files, placed the setup.exe,config.xml file and office source folder in a same folder. Here is the config.xml file that i am using
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath=" " OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
In source path, i leave it blank,so that it will use the office source files which was saved in the same folder.
Then in MDT server, created a new application for Office365.In command line used the command :- setup.exe /config configuration.xml
Created a new task sequence for OS deployment and added the step install application for installation of Office365.
After creating a selection profile for the deployment, created a offline media for deployment of client machine.
Now while i am running the offline media on the bare-metal machine, after OS installation the deployment got stuck at step install Office 365. Got error message pop up, according to which internet connection needed during installation process so that the
click to run set-up will download the office source files, It means this will not use the previously downloaded file which was saved in the same folder.
So this is what my problem is.. How can i customize the configuration.xml file so that i can install office 365 with offline media.
Regards
Pallavi

<Add SourcePath=" "
....In source path, i leave it blank,so that it will use the office source files which was saved in the same folder.
As per
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx#BKMK_AddElement
SourcePath indicates the installation source path from which to install Office when you run the Office Deployment Tool in
configure mode. If you don’t specify SourcePath in
configure mode, Setup will look in the current folder for the Office source files. If the Office source files aren’t found in the current folder, Setup will look on Office 365 for them
So, for the /configure mode, you should remove the Sourcepath element completely - do not specify as <space>

How do I find the "Offline Media" or otherwise fix this?

When I try to encode a particular 30 minute timeline (I have successfully encoded other shorter timelines for Blu-ray before, in between, and after getting errors on this timeline) I get this error message - "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the Offline Media graphic". I have spent hours going through the timeline frame by frame and cannot find any "offline material." As far as I can tell nothing is offline.
Presumably, Premiere Pro "knows" what is offline. Is there any way to get Premiere Pro to indicate to me WHAT it "believes" is offline and WHERE on the timeline it believes that material is?
Yesterday, even though this error appeared, I successfully encoded this timeline for DVD. It encoded fine and a frame by frame examination of the encoded video by two people did not find any sign of "the Offline Media graphic" or any sound problem.
I decided the error message was itself an error and have spent nearly all day yesterday and today trying to encode the timeline for Blu-Ray. I have tried the unmodified AME presets "H.264 Blu-ray" and "MPEG2 Blu-ray". Both generate the same error message -- "Error compiling file. Unknown error."
I have tried to EXPORT it directly from Premiere Pro and from an AME QUEUE. The result are exactly the same either way.
The encode appears to proceed normally, but after about
I am working on a 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon MAC running with a OSx (10.8.5) with 28 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM. It has an nVidia graphics card, but at the moment I can't get this box to show me which one, so I will send this message now and update that bit of info if someone requires it.

WELL... that was weird. Thank you all for your advise, but it seems I was mislead by Premiere Pro, so I must apologize for unintentionally misleading you.
I STILL get the error message - "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the Offline Media graphic".
And after following the advice I got from Michael MTT and checking every single one of the dozen of offline clips in the project... I know absolutely that there is not a single offline clip in the timeline I'm working on and that the error message is indeed a mistake by Premiere Pro.
But the solution to the "Error compiling file. Unknown error." message turned out to be truly weird. It was generated by a corrupted video effect (color correction) on a 2 second clip.
As I mentioned, I also work on an Avid system and when a timeline on the Avid has this sort of problem I do a "video mixdown" which PP calls "nesting". Based on the success of that procedure I decided to try nesting all the video tracks in this troublesome PP timeline. That turned the render line above of the timeline entirely RED. So I did a RENDER ALL (is that what it's called?) and about a quarter of the way through the timeline, up popped "Error compiling file. Unknown error." The rendered line was green up to a point and then red. Finally, I had a place to look and what I discovered when I did was that when I played through that part of the timeline it was holding the previous graphic as a still through the clip with the corrupted effect on it, but the criminal clip was not being played. I dug around, found the corrupted effect, which was the third of three identical color corrections applied to that clip. I deleted it and POP the everything displayed and rendered and encoded perfectly.
Thanks again all.

Easiest Ways To Update Offline Media?

We normally use PXE boot and deploy images across the network even though is seems slower since many computers are on a 100Mb connection due to sharing their network port with a 100Mb VOIP phone. We do this for convenience mostly because of the big hassle
of updating multiple flash drives whenever the image or task sequence is updated.
We could use multicast if we were doing many simultaneous deployments of the same image, but the majority of the time, we are reimaging one-off machines one or two at a time.
However, I just saw some hardware and software that seems like it could make using offline media more manageable if they were used together.
Instead of copying the Content folder manually one stick at at a time to USB flash media, is there any reason you cannot just mass clone multiple copies of the LiteTouchMedia.iso file to multiple bootable usb drives using ImageUSB http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html and
a USB hub like this?
This software copies the ISO as if burning a DVD. It does not copy the Contents folder files the way you would manually create USB media for MDT.
If this works, then updating as many USB sticks as we can get on a hub wouldn't be much more difficult than just updating one USB stick.

We got them back at the same time by telling all of the remote technicians to send (FedEx) their flash drives to the corporate office. There was a period of time, maybe a week, where the remote technicians didn't have flash drives. That worked for us but
that's obviously not a technical item - it's a process item. Once all the flash drives were updated, which took about a day, we shipped the flash drives back out to the techs.
Mind you, we also had PXE booting for OSD through SCCM at all of our remote locations. So we approached the OSD question through a few different angles. (Flash drives, PXE + OSD, and also a "break-fix" location that machines could be shipped to.)

"Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the offline media graphic"

This comes up every so often with my renders. I have a 28:30 minute project that is 100% complete. All the files are present locally, and nothing shows as offline or missing. I've gone through the final sequence frame by frame and NOTHING is offline or missing. But when I want to send it out to export, I get the message above in the title.
What's strage is if I ignore it, then sometimes the final render WILL have display the offline graphic even though it didn't display as such in the Premiere timeline.
Often, restarting Premiere and reopening the project irons that glitch out just fine, but I have one particular project that seems to do it every time. I've tried the "import into a new project" trick, but with no luck.
Clueless in Exportville

Hey Guys,
Anybody find a solution to this yet? I am working with Premiere Pro cs5, working with r3d footage, and am having the "offline material is present" error pop up when I try to export using adobe media encoder. Prior to that error box popping up, there is another dialogue box that says that premiere has detected that there is an update to media encoder, I am running media encoder 5.01 and tried to update it but it tells me all files are up to date.
Anyways back to the problem, there is only one shot that is affected and is rendered with the offline media image( this clip also happens to be a different colour(green or teal) than the other clips in my sequence(which are blue or greyish), not sure if this is an indication of anything. I reimported the clip, and re did the edits and then exported just that new small section to see if the error would happen again,this time however, when I did the export, instead of "queue", I just hit "export" ,and the export happened without media encoder actually opening. The file came out fine,even though I had the offline media present pop up, the video was all good. I know I changed a couple of variables in that troubleshooting, so now I am trying the entire sequence with the "export" button instead of "queue" button in the media encoder pop up box, hopefully that will help. The only downside is that it seams like it takes way longer to export this way than in the queue.
I'll report back to let you know if that helps and if I can reproduce the error with the "queue" button.
EDIT
Both exports worked, so it must have been due to the re importing and re editing of the clips, however I still get the error message "offline material is present..." I guess I'll see what happens next time I do an export. Cross my fingers.
