Reconnecting media for entire project

I have had to clean up a very messy project by moving all the media to new drives with one Capture Scratch folder on each. I'm wondering if there is a particular way the media should be reconnected.
Would I start reconnecting the media from bins of clips? Or reconnect the media from sequences? Or would I simply highlight everything in my browser and then start reconnecting media.
Thanks in advance. This has been a crazy process and prompt responses from other users has really helped. Again, I hope we can all make it clear to Apple that they should push fixing their media management to the top of their priority list. I make this clear on every tech support call.

If there is the possibility of media corruption (or sequence corruption, for that matter), reconnecting from your main sequence might be beneficial.
In the past, I've discovered clips (stills, usually) that have gone wonky on me by reconnecting one-by-one from a sequence.
If there is no question of media corruption (it's simply that the project is too bloated, for instance) then you can probably make do with connecting from your bins.

  • How can I generate preview movies for entire project file?

    I have an entire project organized into a single project file. Is there a way to generate preview movies for the entire project so that an editor is always working from rendered files?

  • Possible to get animation\audio timings for entire project

    Hello,
    I have created several captivate projects that now need to be translated into different languages. The translators want me to provide the current timings of when animations are happening in relation to the audio. For example, let's say on slide 4 I have text that appears 10 seconds in that happens as something specific is being said in the audio. I need to be able to capture that some how. These timings can be in relation to the entire project length (for example, if each slide was 2 minutes long then when I gave timings for slide 3 they would happen betwen minutes 6 and 8) or for each individual slide since each slide has its own audio file. I can't find a way to do this is Captivate 5 unless I manually do it myself, which would take a very long time.
    Any suggestions?
    -dm

    As far as I know, the closest you can get is the Publish/Print/Storyboard option, but it won't show all the detail you require.
    It lists the total time for a slide, and the order the slide objects appear, but not when they phase in/out.

  • Final Cut Pro XML for entire project?

    Hi,
    I would like to import my entire final cut pro 7 project (20 bins, 10 sequences, 300+ clips) to Premiere CS5.It is very important that the structure that I have setup be maintained (bins, sequences and the clips within them) About two months a ago, I did this without a hitch.
    This time I can't seem to get more than 1 bin and 1 sequence to export from FCP. I checked the master clips, but still 1 bin, 1 sequence.
    Help would be greatly appreciated

    When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
    Hope it helps

  • ??? can BRIDGE helps PREMIERE reconnect media ???

    Dear,
    I'm using Premiere CS3 (also have Bridge). I'm editing on AspectHD, and I'd like to have my co-editor working on his machine with DV version of the footage.
    To have him have exactly what I've got so far, I went this way:
    - saved a copy of my project file
    - offlined all video clips it copy and kept audio files online (to avoid
    having to reconnect them, by having my co-editor have them in the same
    drive path and directory as I do so they reconnect automatically)
    - I imported CFHD project in a brand new DV project (so that my co-editor
    can work in it and have proper specs)
    So now I have an offline DV version of my project file with audio online, but when I try to reconnect medias with the DV clips, I need to reconnect them one by one; even more, I need to select them 2 times each before Premiere recognizes and accepts them as the proper media.
    When I just Make Offline and Reconnect Medias in my project file and keep the HD media, I just need to select and tie one file in each folder that hold clips and Premiere does the rest, but now it won't do it for this particular project.
    I talked with ADOBE tech support and the guy told me it was how Premiere works, but couldn't help me out as to if BRIDGE could help me help PREMIERE reconnect all my file in batch instead of spending 1-2 days doing so.
    Anyone got any idea how to use Bridge in this case ?
    Thank you.

    Nope. Just like Premiere, AE will interpret your offline files as the proper sources and require you to reconnect each of them manually. Even using proxies would have no benefits here as it does not update the timelien structure. I'm wondering, though, since you both use Premiere, can't you just export an EDL or AAF and then re-import? I rarely use Premiere, but seems exactly what you would want to do. Would be simple on Avid systems...

  • How can I point the premiere to a blank folder and bring only the files needed for the project

    When I start premiere it loads all files from all my photo/video libraries (app 150 gb almost 20,000 photo).  I do not want to sort thru all these files for a project.  How can I point premiere Elements to a blank folder and get the appropriate media for a project as I
    need them.

    As Steve points out, there are really three programs in the Premiere and Photoshop Elements "suite," PrE, PSE and then Organizer, which links between the two, and is an Asset cataloging program. Because of the commonality of the GUI (Graphic User Interface), there can be confusion as to exactly which program one is in.
    If you launch just PrE, and not Organizer (can be launched from within either PrE, or PSE), the only Assets/media that you will see is that, which you have Imported into your Project.
    Also, having the Assets for a Project, in a separate folder, or folder structure, is a great way to set up the Project. This article goes into details on one set up method: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4491450#4491450
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • Transporting LSMW single object instead of entire project

    Dear Experts,
    When I am selecting LSMW object and then selecting Generate Change Request from Extras, then it is creating Transport request for entire project instead of a single object.
    How can i transport single LSMW Object instead of entire project.
    Please help me.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rangababu

    Hi,
    when you are on the first screen of LSMW, can't you go via Extras->Export Project. Then you can select on detailed level what you want to export to a flat file.
    On your other system you can import this flat file (and you can even rename stuff while importing). Not sure, but it might be that the import functionality is blocked on your other system. If not, I think this is the way to go.

  • Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

    In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment.  In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level? 
    Thanks.

    Hi melduncan,
    Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
    I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with,  You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
    Item: 8. New Project Template.   FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

  • BAPI for scheduling entire project?

    Hi!, we need to simulate a scheduling depending on dates introduced by user.
    Does anybody know if its possible to schedule entire project via function or similar ECC 6.0?. CJ29 seems to be difficult becase log of changes are shown in ALV...
    Thanks for your help!!!!!

    Hello!,
    Bapi_project_maintain has schedule method?.
    Also if bapi_network_maintain could schedule all may networks. How could I ascend new dates to wbs elements and project?. Also, Could I access to scheduling result?.
    My issue is tahe we need to do a kind of scheduling simulation. User could change a activity date (via constraint) and we have to schedule project taking into account this new date. If the result is not good for user, we have to delete the constraint and keep the project as it was before the process.
    So, we need to schedule the project via bapi_network_maintain only if the bapi returns the scheduling results...
    Any idea????
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!!.

  • Project with profit center was not created for entire period

    Hi everybody,
    I need a help with a problem here.
    The alert mesage "project with profit center was not created for entire period" was displayed.
    Then I searched for the creation dates and the profit center was created before the project gets its firsts postings. Therefore, some line itens don't exist in profit center (ledgers).
    My two questions:
    The first one, is it possible to input line itens in a retroactive way?
    Everytime I need to use the project master data this alert is displayed. How can I fix avoid this message?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Regarding your issue, it is theoretically possible to reverse all settlements up to the start of the project and then to settle again it
    is a must to check in standard if the profit center is valid from the project start date onwards.
    Check the attached note 1048945.
    The system generates error message KM700 ('Profit center <PRCTR> does not exist for <date>') when you enter a profit center on a project definition if the profit center is not valid in the entire period between the basic start and the basic finish date of the project definition . However, only one warning message should only be generated in this case.

  • Missing media for 17 clips when I open a project.

    I'm a brand new user. I'm using Classroom In A Book as my tutorial. When I open a project, I'm missing media for 17 clips. Nothing I've tried finds them.

    Thanks! I did finally find them. Now I don't know what to do with them. I

  • Encore CS4 transcodes entire project for 1 exported sequence

    Hello All.  I am relatively new to Premiere Pro and Encore.  I'm using CS4 and have the following problem:  I have a Sequence in Premiere Pro that has 5 clips of roughly 1.5 mins each -- a total of 7.5 minutes.  If I export that sequence to Encore using the Dynamic Link function Encore transcodes the entire Project before burning the 5 clips to DVD.  Since the project has several hundred clips this transcoding takes about 1 1/2 hours.  If I import the 5 clips directly into Encore as Assets, it only transcode the 5 clips taking about 20 seconds each.  My question is why does Encore think it has to transcode the entire project and, more importantly, is there a way to change this behaviour.  Surely it should recognized that there are only 5 clips to burn and transcode only those.  Is there a setting I am missing?
    Thanks in advance!
    William

    Hi and thanks for the response.  The PP sequence settings are:
    Editing Mode: 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Anamorphic 1080
    Fields:  No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Display Format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    (I'm omitting the Audio settings)
    The properties for the clips are all the same(except for duration):
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 205.2 MB
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00;01;03;15
    Average Data Rate: 3.2 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
    The transcode settings are the default (I key them in if it helps) for a DVD (not Bluray).
    i don't export it without using Dynamic Link.  The alternate method I used was to run Encore stand alone then create a new project (again default transcode settings) and I import the clips directly (File-Import As-Asset). 
    Something to note:  When I export the sequence from PP what gets shows up in the Encore project is:
    Name                                                  Type
    Demo_Seq/HDV1 Project.prproj        Timeline
    Demo_Seq/HDV1 Project.prproj         Premiere Pro Sequence
    When I click build what it says it's transcoding is: Transcoding HDV1 Project.prproj(Video).  This is the name of the entire project, not the sequence, and transcoding the entire project is consistent with the amount of time it takes.  When I import the individual clips it says it is transcoding Clip1, Clip2 ... and the amount of time it takes is consistent with transcoding only the individual clips.  It may also be noteworthy that after importing the sequence the individual clips are not present on the timeline looks as if it's a single clip.
    I hope this is what you needed.
    Thanks

  • My entire project keeps becoming unrendered after about a minute

    Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me with this.
    I'm making a documentary in HD, so it's a pretty big project file. Yesterday when I opened the project, it loaded everything and worked for about 1 minute, then I got the spinning wheel for a minute or two, then every single video clip in the entire project became unrendered. I closed it out and didn't save it and everytime I open it back up it keeps doing the same thing. It's doing this when I'm not even editing, I was just watching clips and transcribing them.
    I have tried making a copy of the project file in a different location just to see if it would work normally, and changing to unlimited RT and I trashed my preferences, but none of that is working. I also closed out all of the sequences except one, because I did have a lot of them open at once and I thought that might be overloading it or something, but that didn't help either.
    Any ideas? I don't want to have to end up re-rendering the entire thing every 30 seconds and I can't really edit without being able to see the video...
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    The media is 1920x1080, 60i, I think the setting is FX or whatever the highest one is on a Canon Vixia HF200.
    The Sequence is set to Apple Intermediate Codec, HDV 1080i60 (mine doesn't show up with an AVCHD option for this...or a 1920x 1080, I'm pretty sure the sequences are 1440x 1080...Anyone know what the deal is with that?)
    I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0
    And the project was working fine up until now. But, last week one of my hard drives kept somehow ejecting itself. I ended up being able to close it without saving and reopen so I didn't have to "reconnect media" and render.

  • Reconnect media links lost

    "Media Offline" message appears spontaneously in my timeline on several frames (@15 in 54 min video). The media file there on my external HD where it's always been. I can find it. When I go to reconnect, the message in Search is: " is missing. This is new! Somehow it doesn't see or know the file name although it is on the frame (such as "scan003"). What is going on? It has been doing this for about three weeks and getting worse and at first it did recognize the file and I was able to reconnect the link by hand, but even then it would lose the connection the next time I opened the program or spontaneously-probably with autosave. FCP5, Dual G4, 10.4.5 Seemed to start with the OSX automatic update from Apple and got especially bad with the last one this week. That's about when the "is missing message began to show up.

    i have exactly the same problem. On one of our 3 systems projects seem to gradually be becoming infected with this problem, and i think it makes it impossible to reconnect media once it has forgotten the clip names.
    i have tried trashing preferences and still seems to be happening.
    another person has this problem here: http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newreadpost.cgi?forumid=8&postid=885666
    But in my case it is happening with entire sequences. When trying to reconnect the "Files to reconnect" window simply says:
    Offline Files:
    " is missing.
    and nothing else.
    We had a G-RAID drive self destruct recently and perhaps this has caused some corruption somewhere, but this is a new project with sequences copied in from systems that were fine.

  • I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

    I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
    Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

    1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
    2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?
