Pr cs6 xmp files missing upon project open

hi all,
i'm using pr cs6.05 on mac osx 10.8.5.
when opening a project file i've already worked on, premiere is asking me:
Where is file '00006.xmp'?
i'm using avchd footage in mts containers. so i navigate to the nested STREAMS folder where the 0006.xmp file lies. now, unfortunately all contained xmp files are listed but "greyed out", i.e. not available for selection.
i don't understand the sense in asking for the file but not allowing me to select.
also, i don't understand why premiere looses the connection to xmp files it previously used.
can anyone please explain how to proceed in this situation?
thanks
chris

I think you can ignore the message and click cancel.

  • I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file.  I cannot open it now.

    I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file.  I cannot open it now.
    I am not sure if this is an issue but Windows does not recognize the .xmp file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.  On a related note, when I edited some .nef files and Windows saved it as .dng file, it too, like the .xmp file, Windows does not recognize the .dng file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.
    Do I need to download something to create this icon?

    PSE didn't save your file as an .xmp file. The .xmp file is not the image--that's still the .nef. The xmp file is what adobe calls a 'sidecar' file, just a record of the settings you used in the raw converter. As long as it's in the same place as the image, when you open the nef in ACR again, it will open where you left off, with the settings you chose.
    If you want to save as, you have two choices:
    1. Click the Open button in the raw converter window and save in the image format of your choice.
    2. Use the Save button in the raw converter to create a separate DNG file, which still must be opened in the raw converter and converted to an image format for use in other programs.

  • Missing file stops DVDSP project opening- help!

    I've been working on a DVDSP project for a month now.
    I came to open it today and get the message "Searching for movie data file "name" Fin 000 00012.It gives me the option to search for the file, which proves fruitless. then i get the message that the movie file will not play properly without the missing file.
    The project won't open further and i have to force quit.
    The point for me is i can't open my project, even saved earlier versions.
    Is there any way round this?, as i've put alot of work in i don't want to lose.
    regards Nick

    Welcome to the Boards
    Instead of pressing locate, pressing skip/cancel (which you may have to do often) may get you past this.
    This is one of the reasons not to use reference movies and bring those into DVD SP. Your best bet is to make self contained files, or if no room or time, immediately compress a reference movie to an m2v and use that.

  • XMP file missing

    I've got a problem with a specific RAW file missing it's XMP data.
    I had two images with the same name, one the CR2 and one a TIFF of the same file.  When I deleted the TIFF from the library, Lightroom's "feature" thoughtfully also removed the XMP file.
    Lightroom recognised that the XMP file was missing and warned me, however telling it to save metadata to file still didn't create a new XMP file.  I then told Lightroom to "forget about this sidecar file", assuming this meant I could then recreate it.  Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case.  I have changed develop settings etc and clicked save to file and it's still not creating the XMP file, all the changes are only stored in the Library.
    Any suggestions?  What can I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    James

    I just did a test of deleting an .xmp file, and LR recreates the .xmp file, only after a change has been made to the file. I conclude that the other steps you took threw a wrench in the process.
    If you want to be sure that this .xmp file is current, you can make an edit change (up exposure or anything, and return it) check the time stamp on the .xmp. You can also open in a text editor for specifics.

  • XMP Files missing/not saved?

    Please pardon the post of this redundant - I searched and couldn't find anything that helped...
    I'm using Lightroom 2.6 on Windows Vista. I've toggled the xmp switch so that XMP files should be saved.
    I make changes to metadata - primarily keywords, location, captions, etc., and when I go to the folder where the images are stored, there are no xmp files. I did a hard drive search for *.xmp and found old files from a LRv1 catalog, but not for those files I just edited.
    Other than the Edit Catalog Settings Metadata switch, is there some other place these files could be written to?
    Thanks in advance.
    Clayton

    For raw camera files LR will create .xmp files and for the others, dng, jpeg, tiff the data is stored within the actual file.

  • Files missing in Project Manager pod

    Yesterday, I installed RH8 HTML on my new Win 7 computer.  I then copied over from my old Win XP machine all my files related to a specific help project.  When I use Windows Explorer to review a list of all the .htm files I've copied over, they all are there.  However, when I open the project in RH8 on my new computer and view a list of the .htm files that are in a particular folder in the Project Manager pod, some of the .htm files are missing.  Curiously, if I open the TOC for the project and click a topic that references one of the "missing" files, RH8 opens the file and I can edit it in the usual way.  That indicates to me that the file really is where it is supposed to be and RH8 can find it.  Nonetheless, the filename is missing from the Project Manager pod.  What's more, when I want to insert a hyperlink, the filename is missing from the list of .htm files to which I can link.  This is a problem, obviously.
    I should note that RH on my old computer is version 8.0.1.204 and RH on my new computer is 8.0.0.203.  Hard to believe that would be the issue, but thought I should mention it.  Also, the files that are missing have similar names to files that are not.  For example, reportCheckDataMailmerge is missing but reportCheckDataMailmergeSee is not.
    I would be grateful for any suggested fixes.

    Thank you for the advice and the quick response.  I've applied the two patches, 8.0.1 first, 8.0.2 second, to RH on my Win 7 machine and now opened a backup copy of my project.  To my disappointment, files are still missing from the Project Manager pod. I've tried opening restored backup copies of my project a couple times just to be sure I was opening clean files that have been previously touched only in 8.0.0.  No luck.
    After reading the description of the issues these patches are designed to fix, like you I was pretty confident that the patches would be the answer.  Any additional suggestions?

  • Photoshop CS6 saves file that is just opened

    When someone opens a file on our server just to look at the image and then closes it without making any edits and does not save, the file has a new modification date and act like it was saved. How can I keep this from happening?

    Unless you actually save the file in Photoshop -- Photoshop is not writing or modifying the file in any way.
    You may have third party utilities that modify the file (I think Suitcase had a bug like that), or it may be something in the OS or server software.

  • CS6 Linking files missing question

    I have an indd doc that someone sent me. I need to change some outside url links in the doc. The file was NOT sent to me in a package so the first thing I saw was there were some missing fonts. I had those missing fonts on my system and added them then exported the .indd file to a package sucessfully as I now see all the fonts in there.
    But there are many images which are in the files pages but when I go to re link ID looks for the imgs in an external folder which does not exist.
    How do I re link all the images ( which are already embedded in the id? )
    the link info says it's missing but I see the images in the doc
    thx
    RD

    The images you're seeing are low-resolution, preview proxies. If they were indeed embedded, you wouldn't be seeing them as "missing." You need to get the images, or complete your task without them, if possible.

  • CS3 misses .xmp files from PSE4

    I have used PS Elements 4 on Windows for a couple of years. Most of my photos are in RAW (from a Rebel XT). I have it set to save RAW adjustments in .xmp sidecar files. When I look in the directory with Windows Explorer, the sidecar files do, in fact, exist.
    I just bought & installed PS CS3. I intend to continue to use PSE4 organizer because I have a lot of collections, tags, etc. I have configured PSE4 to use PS CS3 as its external editor. CS3 is configured to use .xmp files.
    When I open a RAW file in CS3 via the PSE4 organizer, the file opens, but the adjustments are not used--it's as if I never adjusted the image.
    If I open the file from CS3 Bridge, or directly with PS CS3, it works right. If I adjust a file in CS3, then save it, and re-open it from PSE4 organizer, it works right.
    How do I get it to work right when I open a previously adjusted RAW file from PSE4 organizer?

    Thank you for taking the time to respond Mr. Castaneda.
    Using Bridge in this context, while obviously an effective work-around, only serves as an unnecessary resource hog.
    The simple issue is this: What used to take half a second in keyboard taps now requires either the use of an additional program (Bridge) or several additional steps in Finder.
    I can't help but to suspect that there is some way to configure my system to behave in the desired manner.
    I do use Bridge regularly, but when all I want to do is process hundreds of RAW files in the largest batches possible, I don't see the need to waste resources on it. And it does slow things down noticeably.
    I like to use Bridge for sorting, renaming, editing, labeling, etc. But to use it just to open up files seems a little inefficient.
    Maybe I'm picking at nits here, but I'm just baffled that this system behaves differently than the one I used a few days ago (same OS, programs, and updates).
    Many thanks!
    Best regards,
    Michael

  • .XMP files no longer appear as sidecars--how to clear metadata?

    Photoshop CS2 ver 9.0.2
    Bridge ver 1.0.4.6
    ACR ver 3.7
    eMac G4 800 MHz
    Mac OS X ver 10.4.9
    1 Meg RAM
    12 GB available disk space
    Bridge and Photoshop are set to save metadata in .XMP sidecar files, but sidecar files no longer appear. That is, up till a few days ago, .XMP files appeared when I opened raw files, but no longer. The drop-down menu is still set to save metadata in sidecar files.
    Cannot clear metadata in Bridge. I can select "Camera Raw Defaults" in ACR, but that doesn't clear cropping.
    1) How do I return already-stored metadata to .XMP files?
    2) How do I get PSCS2 to store future metadata as .XMP files?
    3) How do I clear metadata currently stored in ACR/PS database?
    4) What did I do to cause system to store metadata in ACR/PS database despite being set to save in sidecar files?
    Thanks.
    --HC

    Noel,
    Excellent point.  I have no idea.  Maybe this was only working for
    .PSDs/etc. (which contain the metadata embedded in the file itself[,
    right?]).  I may have been deluding myself this whole time.  It's
    possible that it never really worked the way I thought it did to begin with.
    But, more specifically, here's the current question:  If I have this
    file (which is a backup from long ago):
    J:\backup of M90\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application
    Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...assuming that drives are currently mapped (by drive letter) the same
    way they were when that backup was made), can I just replace the current
    file:
    C\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...with the one from J: and expect it to work correctly?
    What's the worst that can happen if I do this?
    BTW, the file on J: is 2,569 Kb; the (new) one on C: is 2,754 Kb.  This
    doesn't seem to bode well, since the old one (J:) should have much, much
    more data in it (assuming that the "Database" file per se is where the
    metadata is stored): the older file has complex,
    multi-tiered data for 10s of 1000s of images.  "??"
    Thanks again for your willingness to help with this!!
    Aloha,

  • .xmp files showing up in my SD card when accessing RAW files in Finder... Very weird!

    Hi,
    I'm having a very weird problem...  I'm using a 4GB Scandisk SD card and am shooting my RAW photos on a Canon Rebel 2ti.  I'm using a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3Ghz i5, 4gb of Ram, with Lion v. 10.7.2 and am accessing the SD card RAW files through Finder.  I'm secondary clicking on the image file or double clicking them as PS is my default opening program for RAW files.  When I hit the "Done" key on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file shows up in Finder.  When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 License Agreement...
    I do have Microsoft Office 11 installed and have never used Messenger.  It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy and it's totally weird!
    Thanks,
    -Dave

    It's a lot of separate, unrelated things happening to you in one long chain, but each step is normal and explainable.
    You are opening raw files straight from a card into Photoshop. Photoshop will open them in Camera Raw. Camera Raw's preferences are set to save changes in XMP sidecar files. You are clicking Done, which applies the default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store these new settings. That's why an XMP file is showing up in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But writing back out to a camera card with a device other than the camera is not recommended. What is recommended is to use another, faster way to preview raw files on a card without changing them (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the card's left untouched as it should be.
    If you don't want the XMP file to be generated, you have to do just one of the following:
    In Camera Raw preferences, change the "Save image settings in" option to "Camera Raw database", not "Sidecar XMP files".
    Instead of clicking Done every time, which applies any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were just looking and not editing.
    Use something other than Photoshop to preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than opening them in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera downloading utility to look through all the images on the card at once (instead of one by one as you are doing), and then select only the ones you want to bring into your computer. Bridge (via File > Get Photos from Camera, not by browsing), Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto all have that capability.
    As to why double-clicking an XMP file opens a Messenger license agreement: As you probably know, the system has to figure out what program should open a file with a given filename extension. It sounds like maybe both Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the Office installer probably associated it with some type of MS Messenger file. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X opens Messenger. Since you have not used Messenger before, it's showing you the "first run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has set it up so that you have to click Agree on the license agreement before using it. If you never click Agree, it will still be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, whether you meant to or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.
    You probably didn't expect so many things to happen from just opening a raw file off a card, but that's the way it worked out.

  • CS6 Audition file not linked with Premiere Project

    I'm a newb to Audtion and I'm using CS6 Master Suite on a Windows 7 machine. 
    When in Premiere and I  "Edit in Audtition" , then "Save" my edit in Audition the new (edited) audio is not reflected in the Premiere project. Instead I find it in a folder called  "Adobe Audition Interchange". Shouldn't it automatically replace the Audio file in the Premiere project it originated from?
    Is there a setting I'm missing in Audition? Should I be saving the File somewhere else?
    When I've worked with Soundbooth in earlier versions of Premiere the edited version was immediately inserted into the Premiere Project.
    Thanks for any input

    Hank
    Please try this conventional route from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor slideshow to opening that slideshow in Premiere Elements 11 project.
    In the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, go to Output and select Edit with Premiere Elements Editor. That command will put the slideshow in a video format on the Timeline (.psess file) and at the same time put a folder with the project assets as well as a copy of the .psess in Project Assets.
    If you need to do additional edits of the .psess (video) on the Timeline, then you right click the Timeline .psess file, and select Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow to do just that.
    If the slideshow opens in Premiere Elements 11 Editor with black borders, then you set the Premiere Elements project preset beforehand manually (File Menu/New/Project) and then Output the slideshow from the Elements Organizer slideshow editor.
    Have you been there and done that? If not, please give it a try and let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere CS6 Startup Freeze Due to XMP File

    CS6 Production Premium Suite
    Win7x64
    Canon XA10
    Using Windows Explorer, I copy the BDMV folder from the XA10 to my project folder.
    Using the Media Browser, I import the clip (which consists of two MTS files).
    I edit the clip.
    The next day when I open the project, the circle turns with a "not responding" message.
    I close the project.
    I delete the XMP file in the STREAM folder.
    I open the project and everything works.
    This has happened on several projects.
    Why is it necessary to delete the XMP file?
    Somehow it is being corrupted.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know what is causing the issue, but if you don't actually use the .xmp file for anything you can just turn off the .xmp option in preferences if you like. This way the issue will go away. If you go to "edit>preferences then select the "media", you can then uncheck the "write xmp ID files on import" option and also for disable the other XMP option right next to it. Then it will stop doing this at least, sorry I don't have a answer for what is causing the issue though, although I would like to attempt to figure one out.
    What version of Premiere cs6 are you using?
    Also is it only happening with the same exact two files every time? (Basically I'm wondering do other files XMP's cause issues like this specific one does?)
    If it is only this one specific file that is causing the problem I'd probably say it's safe to guess that something about that file is just corrupted, and that is probably what is causing the problem.
    The other possible work-around though is you can use a .MTS clip merger program that will join the files together rather than using Premiere media browser to join the two seperate clips and see if the .xmp issue stops.
    Because cs6 currently has  known bugs with AVCHD spanned media. The clip merger works really quickly too, because it doesn't actually encode the media it only merges them. It's also free and simple to use which is always a obvious plus side as well. If you'd like to try it here is the link where you can get it from.

  • Problem related to PS CS6 ext. on Mac.  Nikon DSLR D610 raw file can not be opened

    Problem related to PS CS6 ext. on Mac. Installation is OK but I can't open picture from my Nikon D610 (Raw NEF format). I get a message "can not open this format ...". Checking Help menu to see if I miss an update the message I get is that I'm up-to-date but at the end Nikon D610 (format supported of course) files can not be opened . JPEG are OK but I work with raw files. Thanks

    What OS are you running: 10.x.x?
    What version of the Camera Raw plug-in do you have?  Do (About) Plug-ins / Camera Raw to find out.
    You need at least ACR 8.3 to open D610 files.  If the Help / Updates process does not work, then there is a manual install process you can do.  The page with the download is for when people accidentally updated to ACR 8.4 and need to roll back to ACR 8.3 due to their OS being incompatible, but the installer on that page works even if you haven’t erroneously updated to ACR 8.4:
