Raw footage missing path-reconnect timeline to clips

My project was moved from one drive to another.
Now clips in the timeline cant find the file and has a reconnect window "missing path".
Is there a quick way to correct this and have all the clip find their way back to the file?
vs one clip at a time.

I'll assume you have clips organized into Bins. Highlight a Bin, right-click and chose Reconnect Media. Let FCP "Search", it'll find the first one. Make sure "Find other media in relative path" is selected in that dialog box, everything should reconnect for that Bin.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
thanks

In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

Quality of edited vs. raw footage

Hello,
I recently edited together a short video out of clips from my GoPro 3 Black, and then imported that sequence to Encore and burned to Bluray along with the raw footage I had taken. The editing was just cuts, and I layered in a song. I noticed when testing the Bluray that the video quality of the edited sequence is not as good as the raw footage, there is quite a bit of artifacting compared to the raw stuff. Any ideas why this would be? I've done quite a lot of basic editing, but don't really know that much about transcoding and codecs and whatnot.
Edit: I'm not sure that this is useful or not, I don't think it is, but anyways, before I imported my sequence to Encore, I thought I had to export the video from premiere for Bluray, so I did that, but then I found I could just import my sequence in Encore, so I don't think that export was used. At leas that is my assumption.

Would the settings you are referencing be the "Default Transcode Settings?" I have Encore set to:
The rest are grayed out and can't be changed, 1440x1080, 29.97, Upper Field First.
The default transcode settings are applied to menus and slideshows. You can specify many other options for assets used in timelines.
The greyed out settings you pick when you create a new project. Then they cannot be changed for that project.
A custom transcode setting can be chosen at any point prior to building a disc. You have access to any preset in AME, and can customize a presets bitrate.

Trimming raw footage?

Hi Guys,
Newly converted to the ways of Apple. Have a top spec iMac running updated Final Cut Pro X. I'm struggling with how to edit raw footage before adding to the timeline. I am collecting footage from both my camcorder (Panasonic HDC-TM900) and my GoPro Hero 2. Both cameras use SD HC cards and so when I import the footage it imports each clip as it was filmed(from the moment I press record to the moment I stopped). I obviously only require small sections of this but cannot seem to work out how to edit these large sections into smaller, ready to drop into the timeline sections.
I know that I can edit them if I drop them into the timeline but this still keeps the original larger files in the events folders. I only want to keep the smaller pieces for using later and want to discard the other sections to the trash. At the moment I'm using gigs worth of space on my drive when I only require a fraction of this.
With my pc using Premiere I could just import footage live as it played from my camcorder and therefore just get the sections I needed. Is this something I can do with my Mac and FCPX? Can I play my GoPro directly into the Mac and edit 'live'?
I'm sure its something I'm doing wrong and will be very grateful for any help you can offer.
Thanks in advance
Sy

The GoPro is coming up just the same as the camcorder so I'm pleased with that. Collecting footage throughout the year to make a family movie for Christmas. Didn't want to fill my hard drive up with footage before Summer even gets here! Just had our first snowfall and got some great sledging shots with the GoPro! Thanks Tom for your help!

Where to get raw footage for my students?

I am teaching a video editing class and I need to find some raw footage for them to edit. I have some projects that came with the class but they are old and not very good. One project uses footage of a bank robbery that I now learned is for a short film called, "The Heist," but we are missing some of the footage and I cannot seem to find it anywhere online (or hardly any information about it). I do not need the highest quality footage but I do need complete projects, so the students can look at all the different shots and cut them down into finished products (commercials, music videos, corporate videos, short films, TV shows, anything and everything I can find). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

I too would be interested in getting my hands on what you are looking for. And have tried. And I work on movies, tv shows, commercials as a grip... on crews....so you would think it would be fairly easy for me to find ... After more than a year of keeping my eyes peeled for stuff I still haven't been able to get material like that.
I'll mention what I've found out as it might help narrow your own search down.
First off you're not looking for "raw" footage... raw is a type of video format and when I read this thread title that's what I thought you were looking for...
There is some raw footage samples at this link ...and a few "shots" that can be edited together ( like same scene , 2 camera angles )...but nothing near as long as you are looking for....
However, the footage is like from a red camera or prosumer cameras...I only used a couple clips from red camera from this link...and didnt check out all the stuff thats there...so you'd have to check it out yourself...
http://groups.adobe.com/assets/CreativeSuite5/CS5-Demo-Assets/
AECS 5_ Demo Assets_ final zip is the one I used...
within that zip file I used a couple clips of a guy running while explosions happen on either side of him...that you can "edit"... short though. you might find more stuff to use.
what you're looking for is "scripted" material ( could be MOS ( no sound ) --and probably would be if pro stuff )
pro stuff has sound mixed separately from the camera, and slates ( clappers ) are used in each shot to sync the sound later.
If you do manage to find "dailies" from a tv show or movie, commercial, etc... that would most likely be on DVD and the quality for editing and export would not be the best cause its aleady mpeg 2 - dvd compression for viewing....
If you want the original stuff it would have to be on hard drive or tape.... which isn't going to happen.
DVD dailies given by productions to the director of photography and some others on the crews are given BACK to production in most cases, and everyone signs secrecy clauses and all that stuff, so sharing that stuff with anyone is a clear violation of not only that contract but also the copyright laws.
So getting dailies is not a very promising and likely scenario.....
With maybe one exception... if you are an accredited school and you write to the producers of a TV show you MIGHT be able to get samples of very old show dailies or dailies from a show that has been cancelled a long time ago ( no more likelihood of marketing in a secondary market ) But as you know, DVD's are still sold now for old Hawaii Five-O TV shows...so this route for you is probably going to require you and your students sign some sort of copyright stuff etc just to "play" with the stuff...
You can see how getting material like you would like to have ( and me too ! ) is very hard to come by....good luck and if you find any source please post it here as I would also like to find that sort of stuff...even if it is just DVD stuff.
good luck

How to give raw footage shot in AVCHD to wedding clients?

I’ve been living in AVCHD **** for the past couple weeks. I just recently upgraded my old Sony PD-170s to new Panasonic AG-AC90s which record in AVCHD. I mostly shoot weddings and deliver the raw footage directly to my clients. When I was shooting DV, I just gave them the tapes and was done. Now, I’m completely stressed out because I’ve been trying to figure out how to give my clients their footage without worrying if they’ll be able to play it back on their computer without any problems. I’m particularly worried since I’m on a late 2008 Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM and the files won’t play back smoothly for me. I need to be able to deliver the footage so that it will play back smoothly on both Mac and PC, even if they’re not as powerful as my own computer.
I went to the Apple Store and they recommended I get a new SSD and a new battery for my laptop. I’m waiting on both and we’ll see if they make any difference. They told me I could use Compressor to convert the files to a more compatible format, but I tried that and it took nearly half an hour to convert a one-minute clip to 720p.
I’ve thought about just burning all their footage to blue-ray so they can watch it on their HDTV, but that would mean buying a blue-ray burner and having no idea how long that whole process would take on my outdated MBP. If I had any luck going that route, maybe I could just give them the AVCHD files on an external hard drive and disclose to them that their computer may not be able to handle playback. At least they could give the drive to a professional editor who would know what to do with it.
I feel like I’m in way over my head. I don’t have the money to buy a new computer right now, but if I have to take out a loan so as to not wind up with unhappy clients, I will. I just have no idea how much of an investment I would need to make to be able to do the transcoding in a reasonable amount of time. The “genius” at the Apple Store didn’t have any great advice other than to tell me to use Compressor. I really need to figure out how to do this in the most efficient and economical way possible. I’m broke, I’ve been living with my parents and I’m just trying to get back on my feet after the worst year of my life in 2013.
I’ve spent many hours over the past two weeks researching these issues, reading articles, posting on various message boards and still not feeling like I’m close to any real solution. Any help would be a tremendous blessing.

If you are giving the clients the raw footage it's best I think to give them the entire media structure from the camera card. Just make a separate folder for each card, call them Joe&Joan1, 2, 3, etc. Drag the complete contents of each card into it's separate folder. Put the folders on an ExFAT formatted jump drive.
That's the down and dirty method, but it depends what the client wants to do with the video, just watch it on the TV or maybe do something with it themselves. If the latter, then the way I described above is probably the safest for giving them the most options on how to deal with it. If they just want to view, most recent systems can play back raw .mts files in H.264, but the client will have to dig it out of the folder structure to find it.

External Hard Drive for Raw footage?

Im sorry, this question has probobly been answered already but I'm just confused.
If I am editing a project in Premiere pro cs6 and I have all of my raw clips on an external drive (usb 3.0) and import them into premiere from the external drive will this slow down the editing process? I have a 120gb SSD and just want to use that for the OS and Applications, while having my raw clips/recompresed clips with the scratch disks all on the external drive? or will this slow premiere pro down? So basically will the external drive with usb 3.0 with my raw footage and scratch disks slow down premiere or will it just be fine?
(just switched from FCP) Any help would be appreciated!

Im not sure of the rpm, I looked in the manual and does not say anything about the rpm, but the drive is a Seagate 2tb goflex desk (STAC2000106). And no I have not benchmarked it yet but I might test it out soon.

Audio offline in Timeline ONLY; Clips appear red (CS6)

Very, very, very frustrating issue.
I have a cut of a scene where the audio has all mysteriously gone offline (the clips in the timeline have turned red, rather than green). No audio plays back. Yet when I select "Reveal in Project", it finds the associated audio file. That audio file plays fine in the Source Monitor, fully online, waveforms, plays back fine. I can select "Edit Original" in the timeline and the original file will open up in iTunes and play fine. I put the file from the Project window offline and reconnected, yet the clip in the timeline doesn't change at all. It is connected, but doesn't act like it. Checking the timeline clip's properties, it says "Online". But it's not.
The most frustrating thing is that ONE of the shots has online audio that plays back. This is the same audio file as some of the other shots that register as offline!!!!!!!! It's absurd.
Earlier cuts, using the exact same audio files are all online, all work fine.
I have deleted my media cache, went back to an earlier auto-save, no luck. When I double-click the clip in the timeline, it opens a blank audio preview in the Source monitor, no waveforms but it does have my In/Out points. I tried copying the timecode and applying it to the ONLINE version of the file from the Project panel, but the timecode was bizarrely different and didn't match so I can't even use the "Replace with Clip" command. It's insane.
Any insight or help on this issue would be much appreciated. I've already had to go about re-adding clips manually, but hopefully for next time I can have an easier solution...

A bit same pb happen to me. The cut was OK I close it and a few days after open the project and the sound was in RED. Also all the rush were offline.
My rush were in : AVCHD 1080p - Pixels carrés
Base de temps : 25,00 i/s
My solution is to copy in the same directory the rush (for exemple 00002.MTS become 00002_2.MTS) and to reconnect in Premiere the rush 00002.MTS with 00002_2.MTS. (don't know if I am clear !).
This solves the problem for me.
Rq : if I clear the original file (00002.MTS) an rename the 00002_2.MTS in 00002.MTS the error is back ! Stange !

Does ARRI RAW footage even work in Premiere Pro CC?

Does ARRI RAW footage even work in Premiere Pro CC? After importing, some footage just says "media pending", and some just appears as a black video. The interface is also extremely sticky. I am working on a current generation Mac Pro, so I don't think it can be performance issues.
The footage seems to work fine on my old PC in Premiere Pro CS6. I was wondering if CC lacks the ability to process ARRI RAW.
Thank you

OK. Think I've got it now thanks to looking at the short keys and searching for "Full Screen". The upper left key is "`" which looks like a grave - a slightly angled single quote. But when I look at the "Application" setting for Toggle full screen it is set to "'" - a "normal" single quote. Sure enough, if I hit the normal single quote key the toggle works.
I have not been anywhere near the hotkeys and can't imagine why anything would change it from a grave key to a single quote - especially as they look almost identical on the screen. I'm guessing that Adobe changed this (maybe only for international users?)
Anyway I now know how to toggle full screen, although it makes the "Premiere" keyboard with its big purple key for "Toggle full screen" redundant. Does make me wonder what the shortcut key of "'" or CTRL + "'" gives that I'm presumably missing since it appears to have been remapped.

Sony F5 RAW footage goes offline when switched to slog2

I am editing in Premiere Pro CC 2014, fully updated. I have a project with only Sony F5 RAW footage and some of the clips have gone offline when I opened the project this morning. Nothing has changed and it was working yesterday. I tried several things to no avail, and decided to just reimport the effected clips (which were indiscriminate across sequences and source locations). This worked fine, until I changed the source settings for the clips to slog2 and they immediately went offline again. Any idea what's going on? I would really rather not transcode everything.

Hi Gordon,
Could you send the project and that clip to us? We would like to have a deep look.
I'm sending you a PM.
Thanks,
Fran

Saving raw footage

i'm in the process of digitizing my old 8mm video. the process i have to follow is to copy it from my 13-year old sony camera onto mindDV tapes (via a sony digital video cassette recorder), then download onto the mac. cumbersome, but it works.
i want to save my raw footage in digital format, so that i can go back and access it when i need to. but, even though the 1hour of miniDV comes in at 12.1GB, when i try to save it onto even a dual-layer disk, the footage is way too large. even something as small as 4 minutes takes up more than the 8.5gb of a DL disk.
is there a way for me to burn my raw footage onto DL disks in some kind of compressed format, but be able to retrieve the footage at full quality?
i would greatly appreciate help with this.
gee
iMac,1 Other OS

is there a way for me to burn my raw footage onto DL disks in some kind of compressed format, but be able to retrieve the footage at full quality?
simple answer: No.
any other codecs then dv (as on miniDV or inside a iM project) are lossy.. they degree the pic quality, esp. when re-converting into something editable... all other codecs then dv are playback-only codecs, as mpeg/h264 etc...
your options:
stay with miniDV - best quality/best price&size ratio , no instant access
import clips onto an external harddrive - instant access/lil' pricey... :-/

Storing/Managing all the raw footage and all the completed videos

The iMovie '06 instructional video on the Apple pages mentioned that after we edit out our video and it is complete and ready to be viewed, we can upload it back into the camcorder so that from there the video may be viewed on a TV etc.
This reminds me of something that I thought about a while back and which has to do with keeping copies of our work. My thinking is to put the iMovies into my website but I CAN see my wanting to play it on my 50" TV.
Questions, then:
1. If you upload your finished video from the Mac back into your camcorder, then in fact you have a copy right there. So then, DO YOU STILL KEEP THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE OF RAW FOOTAGE AS BACKUP, JUST IN CASE?
2. In what order would I save to cassette etc if I would like to upload the video to my website AND keep the finished copy in a cassette in my closet as well as in my external hard drive? I ask because I recall earlier that at a certain point, one cannot do certain things with the video. I wish I could recall what I had read.
3. Here is what I would like to end up with:
a. The video on my website
b. The complete video in a cassette so that I could play it on TV if I decide to.
c. The complete video in my external hard drive.
d. And actually, WOULD you retain a cassette with all of the raw footage? Or in your external hard drive?
And the final question is:
HOW DO YOU ARRANGE ALL OF THESE BACKUPS AND COPIES IN YOUR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE? I am foreseeing options that I can't answer.
For example, do I keep all raw footage in one category, and then all completed video in another category?
Or do I keep things divided up by the particular video itself? By that I mean, do you segregate your backups by all of the raw footage and finished video for TRIP TO ALBANIA, all raw footage and finished video for MARTY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, all raw footage and finished video for GHOSTS IN THE GARAGE?
And that's just talking about the video clips that you keep INSIDE your computer.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Ohh and another thing!
to archive give the dvd_img or video -ts folder a

Dear Kjolner.....
I'm afraid I am lost with your replies because the terminology in the answers are beyond my understanding. When you say that you save something to tape, do you mean, "back to that same small cassette"? I do not know what an .img file is. I am not clear on saving "small segments" on QT. I would not know how to do that, anyhow. I do not understand what a video -ts folder would be. <gulp> <<double gulp>>
I DO have Tiger and will buy the next one up when it seems safe to do so.
I recently bought a LaCie 500 gigabyte external hard drive to store everything and lighten up my iMac internal hard drive and make it faster. I had to buy that external HD because while attempting to upload my footage from my Sony digital video camera recorder DCR-TRV 11, my iMac sent up messages that I had insufficient space for the activity.. something to that effect.

Stabilizing UHD footage on a 1080 timeline.

Has anyone yet come up with a clever workaround to stabilize UHD footage on a 1080 timeline without losing resolution if the warp plugin is scaling up the nested footage in Premiere pro cc?
/Per

Now I've finally figured it out. I went to bed and woke up with the solution in my head. :-)
I drop my 4k footage on my 1080 timeline and trims it to the desired length. Then I right-click on the footage, and press "Make subclip". Then I will make a new sequence from that subclip by dragging it to the "New Item" icon. This creates a 4k timeline with my trimmed clip. I will then apply the Warp stabilizer and let it do it's thing. When it is done I'll go to the effects controls and choose "Stabilize Only" under borders/framing. That leaves me with a 4k clip that is NOT scaled up, and therefor the very same resolution as when shot. I now simply drag that 4k subclip into my 1080 timeline, and scale it down to what I want, and of cause to a point where it fills the frame at all times
