Problems with copying & reconnecting files in a Stmp project

Hi everyone.
I want to copy files from a project (that I'm currently working on) to a new drive and reconnect them.
But I'm running into problems. I cannot select 'reconnect files".
The situation & history (Sorry for the length):
From FCP, the editor did a 'Send to STP Multitrack Project' with Base layer video + metadata.
The files were written to an external drive, that is now connected to my computer.
When I started the projekt on my computer, I first copied the .stmp file + 'Media' & 'Render files" to the MacinthoshHD, the only internal drive I had.
I started working on the project, and after a couple of days, the system started to give 'disk limit' - messages. Clearly because of the 1-disk situation.
So today I bought another internal drive. I was expecting trouble when copying and reconnecting files, and I was right.. What I did:
I copied all files from the MacHD to the new drive, and opened the stmp file from there.
First I noticed that the Videotrack in STP was still playing from the external drive
I managed to copy it to the new drive, and 'relocate' it.
Just when I thought all troubles were over, the 'limit' messages showed up again.
Reason: It appeared that the paths to all media files were still the 'old' ones, pointing to the MacintoshHD, and even a couple to the external drive..
Then, I followed the instructions on 'Reconnecting Media Files' in the STP manual,
but 'reconnect' is greyed out in the menu. Probably because the project thinks nothing needs to be reconnected.
So what to do?
What I can think of, is renaming the source map on the Macintosh HD
STP will then likely ask: Where is...? And I can point to the new location..
But this solution is tricky.. It will 'destroy' the original paths. And, will STP really give me a chance to restore all fades, files, and so on?
I hope someone can help me out..
Thanks in advance,
Dan

STP actually creates and places files in more places than we realize. Look in the temporary files folder; in another that's been showing up as Soundtrack Pro Media (different than the edited media folder), and back in Capture Scratch, Audio Renders and Render files. We've just learned that what we're looking for isn't always where we think it should be. And we use mostly an internal raid and then a detached firewire 800 raid which we pull off and use to work remotely on the same project. We have to make sure everything we need for the project has been mirrored onto the external raid. It's been much more challenging in STP3 than it was in STP2

  • Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

    I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
    Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
    is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
    displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
    fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
    scrub back & forth in your presentation.
    This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
    mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
    knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
    do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
    This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
    viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
    in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
    simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
    Does anybody have any insight?
    Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
    is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
    (unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

    Hi,
    I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
    Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
    those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
    socialable. One Happy Person.
    I am very happy person ;)
    Kind Regards,

    Hi SSA
    I've downloaded it so many times I nearly exceeded my download limit ! Seriously , I know others must be able to get it , so why is there a problem ?  I'm going to stop at the store where I purchased the phone and get THEM to try. If the sig is OK , I'm going to copy it and bring it home , if it's NOT OK then maybe they'll take it up with Nokia as they're the ones selling it to the ' happy customers' ..? When I first contacted support , they said to disable both firewall and A/V before attempting to download it ? I've downloaded thousands of files and never had to do that ? Sure ,you might have to disable something during installation , but not for the download ? I even did it in safe mode with networking and the same thing happened. I even asked if they could send me an install CD and they said NO.  Not happy about that either..We'll see what happens.. I like the phone ..I'd just like it to do what I bought it for !!

  • Problems with some PDF files

    Hi,
    I have problems with some PDF files. After clicking on link to the file Safari shows me insted of normal document (which is working on Windows) hashes, numbers etc like it was a problem with coding or something. First I was using Preview, I though that maybe installing Acrobat Reader with plugins will solve the problem, but ofcourse it didn't. Did somebody has this same problem?

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Quit Safari. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

  • Tempo problems with imported wav files

    Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
    Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
    So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
    I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
    Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

    Hi,
    First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
    Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
    regards, Erik.

    No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

  • Problem with uploading a file in Clustered Environment

    Hi,
    I have a problem with uploading a file in a clustered environment. I have an iview component which facilitates an upload action of an xml config file. The problem is that the upload of the modified XML file is reflected only in the central instance of the cluster and not in the dialog instances. The dialog instances hold the old config file.
    Is there any solution to upload the file to all the nodes in the cluster.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    Hi,
    This is a known problem with clustered environment. Remember that your portal component runs on just on dialog instance and it doesn't automatically have access to the other nodes.  However, there are some ways to get around this
    1. Use KM to store files. KM is a common repository for all application servers and therefore you needn't worry more
    2. Use an external batch oriented product (suresync/robocopy) to synch folders on the different DIs. You basically use your existing portal component, but there is a batch job which makes sure the upload folder is identical on all DIs (however, there is a slight delay depending on how often you run the batch job)
    3. Store the files on a shared disk directly from the portal component.
    Cheers

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • InDesign CS5 causing problems with InCopy assignment file but not content files

    I'm having a strange InDesign/InCopy CS5 issue (Mac OSX 10.6.6; all system & Adobe updates are current).  In my InDesign doc I have one assignment file containing two content files. All of the InCopy pieces work fine in InDesign (i.e., I can check out/in, edit, etc.).  When I go to open the assignment file in InCopy, InCopy starts to open  it but then crashes. If I try to open each content file directly in  InCopy, no problem. I've tried deleting and recreating new assignments  in InDesign, but they all have the same result in InCopy.
    I think this actually is a problem with the InDesign file because if I export the InDesign file to IDML, then try to open the IDML file, InDesign crashes! I've trashed my InDesign preferences, made sure all cross-references are up to date, etc. Anybody have any ideas what else to look for in my InDesign file that might cause this problem?
    Thanks!
    Andrea

    Thanks John!
    1) Here are the first 10-ish lines from the crash report that is generated when I try to open the IDML file:

    2) That works. Moved all pages (frame threading was preserved) to a new doc, exported to IDML, opened new IDML file just fine. Woo hoo! One of my editors won't be pleased that all of the tracked changes have disappeared, but at least the file functions now
    Wish I knew what caused the problem in the first place so we could (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. Any ideas?
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Problem with printing txt file

    I have a problem with printing txt file. My code looks like :

    It doesn't work :(
    What is my purpose: I would like to print .txt file but I would like to get PrintDialog where I can choose PrintQuality, Chromaticity etc. I found also that I should use DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_HOST but I don't know how.
    I will be very gratefull for help :)

    I tested it on 3 printers (different models of hp). 2 of them don't give me any error but when it started print priter stoped (just as it dosesn't have a paper), but 1 of them doesn't react (there were no errors), i thought tahat something was wrong with printers but when I change DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE to DocFlavor.GIF and filename to dog.gif it works so mybe there is another way to print txt file
