CS6 Project Manager - Copying Files not advancing

Hello,
I am about to travel to Europe and I need to bring a CS6 project with me to continue editing on a laptop.
I choosed "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". Project Manager analyzed the project and started the copying process, although the bar is not advancing and it is now 1h that is stuck at the sasme point.
The external hard drive tha I am using to export the managed project looks like is writing, but in the project manager window the bar is not advancing.
The project I am exporting is a full lenght film, and I cannot use the OSX finder to manually create a managed project due to its complexity.
Here some details about the project:
-Premiere CS6 is running on a 12cores Mac Pro, 64Gb Ram with 6TB internal raid
-The external hard drive I am copying the managed project into is a 2TB Glyph e-Sata hard drive (currently showing signs of writing data)
-The size of the managed project (including 3 sequences) is about 500GB
-I choosed the option to collect files and Copy to New Location (Glyph Drive)
-The footage is a mixed timeline of 4K Red and 5K Epic r3d files
I already tried to abort the process and start ober again, several times but I always end up looking at the Project manager copying files without advancing.
Any idea?
I have a flight in 8h and I cannot leave without this project.
Thanks!!!

Not all media types can be trimmed. In this case, Adobe cant write to the proprietary RED codec. (You notice there's no RED export options.)

Robocopy - Wildcard to copy everything from current source directory

I'd like to use Robocopy (I'm using Xcopy now) to copy everything from the 'current' folder. It appears that Robocopy absolutely has to have a path of some sort to correctly work. In Xcopy, we were able to run
Xcopy *.* C:\somedirectory\
If I try the same in Robocopy I get a an error
"No Destination Directory Specified"Orange County District Attorney

Sandy,
That's all good.. for what you describe robocopy would have no problem handling that task. There are a number of great uses for robocopy and hobocopy in terms of backup.. one type of use (for example) is when used backup a user's documents folder:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" "H:\localfiles\Documents" /E /PURGE /V /NP /XF *.mp3 *.m4a *.pst *.tmp *.avi *.wav /R:10 /W:30
or with hobocopy backing up data (in an accounting directory) to an external drive:
HoboCopy /statefile=z:\backup\accounting\directcopy\hbstate /incremental /skipdenied /y /r d:\accounting\ z:\backup\accounting\directcopy\ > z:\backup\accounting\DirectLog.log

Project manager copying issues

I have a largish project - about 140gb of media (made up of about 20 individual media files).
Out of this I have edited 15 videos. These are edited onto 15 different sequences (with a nested sequence for each of them as they are multi-cam edits).
I have used at least a small part of each of the media items in the edits, but there is also a lot of unused footage. I have tried to use the Project manager to make a condensed copy of the project. I have selected all the sequences as 'sources' and have checked the 'exclude unused media' box (to try and condense the size of the project).
Premiere goes through the process of analysing and copying the media ok (as ion there are no errors during the process), HOWEVER, when I open the condensed project not all of the used media has copied. In the nested sequences some of the clips have grey stripes (diagonal backwards) on them and just show as black in the media viewer.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this an error?
Any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks!
Other info:
Using Premiere Pro CS6 - 6.0.3
Using Windows 7 64 bit computer
Footage is AVCHD format (24 Mbps), shot on a Sony NEX EA50UK camera

Hi Jim,
thanks for this information - does that mean that I won't be able to condense any of my AVCHD projects then? That's a shame.

Movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project in imovie 9 it works fine

movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project
in imovie 9 it works fine and there i cant copy 5 different project into new project
but in imovie 11 i only can copy project with option dubler project?

AppleMan Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents" but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb. Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong. Babowa It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

CS4 Project manager creates a double copy of footage when there's a subclip. Is this a bug?

Hi all,
Although I think I can solve this for my project by changing the clip link, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.
I used the project manager to collect all files. It makes a double copy of a 5 GB footage file. It makes an exact copy of the footage adding a _001 to its name. The duplicated file is made for a subclip. The extra copy seems unneeded. The subclip can be linked to the original footage file just like it is linked in the original project.

No It isn't. It is DV in an .AVI file. I used Collect files so the files shouldn't be trimmed. An identical full length copy of the file was made for the subclip.
I solved it by making the subclip of the new collected project offline and then relinking it to the original file. Then I deleted the extra identical 5 GB file that the project manager created.

Why won't the project manager export all of my media when copying to a new a folder?

Trying to consolidate a project by using the project manager. It exports most of the files fine but some consistently won't copy to the new folder. Any idea what causes this? It's pretty frustrating considering I'm supposed to hand over a hard drive of the media managed project for the next steps in post very soon and would be a huge waste of time to search for all the individual files and copy them over manually.

What version of Premiere and which Resulting Project option are you using (Collect Files and Copy to New Location or Consolidate and Transcode)? Also, are the files that won't copy a specific type of file or any other details, and does Premiere provide any error information (dialog and/or information in the Events panel)?

Project Manager error--copy & collect

We are trying to collect files & copy to new location through Project Manager in PPro CS5. We exclude unused clips and made sure the destination has plenty of free space.
On 3 separate projects on 2 different Windows 7 machines, we have the same problem. It starts working, then eventually gives us an error "An unknown error occurred during the Project Manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation." We've tried saving to a different destination, closing PPro, opening and trying again---all with the same result. It consistently gives us the error, but seems to give us the error at different progress points.
I've seen other posts that mention similar problems and solutions, but since this is happening to us across multiple machines and projects it appears that ours is a different problem. Our projects are fairly simple, no major effects, just some .mts, .m2t, and jpeg files. This process used to work for us without a problem. Please advise.

In practice, if you have moved several files from location A to location B, when you open the project, Premiere throws up a dialogue box asking for the location of one of the files. If you locate that file, Premiere automatically links to all the rest of the files you moved to B.
There is also a useful little check box in the dialogue box, which if ticked shows only exact file name matches. This did not always work in CS4, but seems fine in CS5.
It is better to do the re-linking at this stage because if you do not, once the project is open, you have to re-link each asset individually, which is a pain.
In the days of SD, with avis and much smaller hard dirives, the crate a trimmed project function was useful as you could save only those parts of captured clips that you needed, but with the more highly compressed mpeg etc files, Premiere no longer trims the captured video, but merely copies the entire file to a new location, as far as I can see.

Project Manager fails to copy clips

Hi,
I'm trying to consolidate a project using the project manager in CS4. I've tried both options (create trimmed and copy all to new location), and they both fail to copy the two video clips I use in the timeline.
The clips are mp4, and I can just place them in the new folder, but I'm curious why it is not being done automatically?
Thanks

Joe,
I have only seen this with SmartSound Audio Clips, when they were located in folders outside of the Project. To date, all other Assets, including stills (so long as they are within the folder hierarchy for the Project), have been archived.
When within the Project's folder hierarchy, all work well for me, but then I do not use anything MP4, though cannot image how that would affect things.
Good luck,
Hunt

Project Manager can´t see my .lso files

Hello logicusers, I am new at the forum and this is my first trouble: Project Manager can´t see my .lso files. I would like to start using PM but it seems to be difficult without seeing .lso files in the navigator window.
I´ve read the books, I´ve checked here for this tip and got a lot of useful information, but no solution found. I hope somebody could help me please:
- Macbook white with LP 7.2.3
- Reinstalled and cleaned all
- Installed OSX upgrade 0.4.9 manually
- Installed pro application support 3.1
- PM Data and logic preferences deleted
- permissions applied to "all enclosed folders"
- Performed a complete scan in PM
If I create a new song from logic, PM can´t see this .lso file.
If I scan a external hard drive (lacie f.a.porsche) through PM, it only recognizes one .lso file from a lot of old songs, and I don´t imagine why.
Yesterday I tried this: opened PM, copied a Template song from the Templates folder to the Desktop; renamed it as "Sidload" (my particular "Autoload" term); until here, everything correct, PM seems to be able to manage "Sidload". But when I open Sidload and save the first change, and .bak folder comes, I can´t make more "visible copies for PM" of this file. Finder can see the new copies, but PM not (files that has created "itself"); so I can´t manage a song that has been copied, renamed and saved for first time -through PM, from a Template; invisible, dissapears. No saving PM data, no checking folder, no advanced search helps.
I wish to have a way to talk to logic support via mail, but I don´t know how. So I came here to beg you friends for your help. Thank you very much for being here.

yep, I have scanned at every level, from everything to just a single folder that contains song files. After scanning a folder that conatins songs on my SATA B drive (the one that PM can't find songs), still the songs will not appear.
I have copied over my songs to the drive that PM seems to see songs on and guess what? It doesn't see those songs copied over.
This is driving me so nuts I have forgotten that I engaged in this thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1046126&tstart=0
Does anyone know what the option in the PM's file menu "import file maps" and delete all exported file maps" does? Or what its for?
It feels to me that some sort of database or referrence list etc etc has gone very wrong, but I have already tried deleting (manually) the PM data file in somewhere in the library folder etc etc.
Using file buddy I see that PM stores the a PM database as an invisable file on each drive you have connected. Presumably info for what is on that drive. Perhaps these invisable files need to be manually deleted???

Project manager can't find my songs

I have well over 100 song files on one of two internal sata drives in my mac pro. "SATA A" has my sample libraries. "SATA B" contains all my song files and audio recordings.
I want to use project manager to help identify what samples I have used with these songs. the samples are stored on "SATA A" within a huge library. The problem is that project manager doesn't seem to find any of my songs (stored on "SATA B").
I have done expanded sacans, localised/"specified where" scans. I've excluded locations and included locations but PM will not find any of my songs on my "SATA B" drive. It does however find sample data, audio, movies and everything else.
PM ~does~ find songs on my "SATA A" drive. These are songs included in my Kirk Hunter Emerald library - which I didn't even know existed! When I saw PM picked up the songs on SATA A drive I tried copying my songs to it from "SATA B". I did a full, extended scan from scratch and still my songs are not found.
I have checked their permissions. They all have .iso on the end and the finder sees them as "logic songs" via "get info". In fact they look identicle to the Kirk hunter songs that the PM sees. I have also checked sata b drive and compared to it sata a and they seem to be configured identically (bought/set-up at the same time etc).
I have tried deleting logic's pref files and PM data etc etc manually. still no joy.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix it?
About 10% of my songs (out of 100 to 150 songs) will be using exs24 samples from my sample library (KH Emerald is just one eg). I just want to save the associated samples with the songs for archiving. I do not want to have to save all my sample library with the songs if at all possible. Going through each song manually would take too long. I feel my only option right now is to save all songs and all sample library on specially purchased hard drive but I'd prefer to avoid this route. Any suggestions?
Sorry if I've asked this before but its driving me nuts.

Premiere Pro Project Manager does NOT include After Effects files.

Warning: Premiere Pro "Project Manager" does NOT include the After Effects 'dynamic linked composition' files associated with the project when "Collect File and Copy to New Location" resulting in the incomplete and loss of all dynamic linked compositions in the new project destination ( folder or disc drive ) .. I know this also includes Photoshop dynamic links and assume includes Audition audio files as well.

Here's the best way: Personal Responsibility.
Put all of your project files in one file. Stop asking PPro to do it for you. It's simple. This is a no-brainer. If you create a linked comp, create it in the same file as your PPro project and files. When you send it to Encore, create the Encore project in the same folder. Works all the time, every time. When you're sure that you're finished with the project for the forseeable future, move the entire folder off your workstation into storage. Do I move a copy of each asset (video clip, image, audio, etc.) into this folder before I import it to my AE or PPro project? Yes I do. Is it overly time-consuming? Not really. I can fly on my machine. Does it beat not being able to open a project later. Oh yes. Yes it does. I'd say I did 50 projects last year this way. When I occasionally had to move a project folder back to the workstation, I had no problems. Everything worked as it did before I off-loaded it. That's because I take personal responsibility for my projects. It's imporatnat that theyt work, especially if I end up having to hand it off to a third party down the road.
BTW, my workstation is RAID 0. If you are using anything less, you need to upgrade. What I'm trying to tell you is that my system works very well. I have not always done things the right way. I have had my share of frustration. The point is that I learned. Now I'm passing that on to you. I use CS5 on an HP Z800 with a measely 12 gigs of ram and a single i7 quad core and the aforementioned RAID 0 configuration and a hacked Nvidia GTS 450. It works quite well. I'm sure I would do even better with another i7, 12 more gigs of ram and a Quadro 4000, but this is what they give me to use.
Additionally, I'm using CS5 at home on a MUCH older HP xw8200 dual dual Xeons, 12 gigs of ram and software-only MPE. Guess what? It works quite well.

CC2014 Project Manager not keeping speed changes

trying to use project manager to consolidate a 40 minute sequence, everything looks good along the way, but any speed changes in the sequence are not keep in the new project....anyone else experience this? and is there a workaround?

Is this specific to this project (or specific settings) or are you seeing this in general? e.g.: if you create a new Project, apply Speed/Duration to a single clip in a Sequence (e.g.: 200%), then Consolidate and Transcode, does the Transcoded Project still have the Speed/Duration value applied to the clip in the Sequence?
I have not seen any reports on Speed/Duration missing and also ran a few sanity checks with Speed/Duration and Time Remapping in CC2014 (8.2), which all continued to have Speed values applied in the Transcoded Project Sequence. I also tried Collect Files and Copy to New Location, which also retained Speed values.

Project Manager & RAID 0 config

hi
i have Mac Pro with 250G Bay1 HD as boot + applications incl LP
i also have 2 X 500G in Bay 2 + 3 set-up in RAID 0 configuration where LP projects reside
in browse mode, project manager sees the audio files in proper Volume directory but not the songs
i did an expanded scan twice with no luck
btw, i have no problem uploading the songs in LP since the projects are all there intact in Finder, it's just that project manager fails to recognize them
is this normal?
does project manager only look for song info in User/Home/Music/Logic ?
right now i store projects in RAID volume/Logic folder
should i have created a "Music" folder above the "Logic" folder ?
many thanks
Mac Pro 2 X 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon 4G RAM, 250G + 2 X 500G RAID 0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Logic Pro (7.2.3) MOTU 828mkII

I believe there are some significant bugs in project manager. I have two identical internal barracuda drives in my mac pro (exc system drive), bought, installed and formatted at the same time: drive A for samples and audio and drive B for audio and song files.
For some reason project manager will "see" the songs on drive B no matter what I do. I've tried everything including only scanning drive B, deleting project manager database etc etc. I've even looked at the permissions of the drives and files and they are identical in nature.
There are no raids involved here. If I copy over the song files to drive A they are found by the PM. Its just weird. I'm pretty much stumped and I've given up trying. I'd love to know if there is a fix for PM weirdness.
