Refresh media browser

The media browser doesn't seem to me to update automatically if new content has been made available during keynote session. Is there a way to get it update? Looks like that I have to quit and reenter Keynote.

Are you sure? Here are at least two situations in which I would have to quit iWork applications:
- I switch to a different iPhoto Library with iPhoto Buddy
- I copy a movie to the Movies folder
No chance to see the new/changed content.

  • CS6 Media Browser Problem

    When using the Media Browser in Premiere Pro to view files in a folder that contains many files (100+), the browser keeps jumping back to the beginning after viewing a few of dozen files.  I then have to scroll back down to the last place I was and then I can continue a little further before the browser jumps back to the beginning again.   The files do not open instantly -- there is a finite time where the message "processing ..." is displayed.  I gave up before getting to the end.   I doubt that I have an under-resourced computer since it is a i7-3770K with 32GB RAM and a GTX670 card.  Is there a limit to the number of files that can be viewed in the Media Browser?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    P.S.  Just did a search on the problem and I see that it is a well known issue.

    Hi guys !
    Just wanted to post because we had the same problem on 4 different computers with different configurations.
    It was really annoying to have this jumping/refreshing media browser problem. At a point, that this browser was useless.
    Then we had a problem with droping sound editing r3d code... Kind of a deal breaker, when the company claims that you can edit 4K r3d files no ?
    We finally figured out that the Media Cache and the Media Cache files NEEDS to stay in the original folders (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common).
    Even if everybody on the web tells you to dedicate a single SSD just for the media cahe, it won't work for Premiere pro. DON'T MOVE THOSE FOLDERS !
    Removing those folders to the original place (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common) [again]  solved the problem for us. Hope it will work for you guys.
    Don't blame Adobe, i'm sure they'll read my post to fix this in the next version of premiere

  • Media Browser contents won't refresh and update

    I'm using Keynote '09. I am using the Media Browser to add photos from within my iPhoto library to my slides. I have a number of albums--many are smart albums--that don't seem to be refreshing as the iPhoto content changes. It was updating fine last night, but today the content remains stagnant even as the iPhoto version changes.
    Any idea of a way to force the Media Browser to refresh itself to reflect the changes that are happening in iPhoto? iPhoto is version 8.1.2.

    I have a similar issue with the Media Browser, assuming we are talking about the same thing.
    I am referring to the feature within an "Open" dialog/window, such as when I am picking a file to attach to an email, or picking a photo or movie clip to include in a keynote presentation etc. There is a pane on the left of the window lists a number of locations on my computer. One of these options is MEDIA, which expands to Music, Photos, and Movies.
    When I attempt to select photos while performing tasks such as those I listed, I notice that there are events missing. In fact, the events correspond to the latest few imports into iPhoto. To be clear, the photos are accounted for in a few new events within iPhoto; however, these events are absent in the Media Browser.
    As far as I can tell the Media Browser has "refreshed" my Music and Movies, but the Photos portion is not updating / not synchronizing with iPhoto.

  • Media Browser doesn't refresh Aperture images

    This just started happening recently. The old behaviour was -- iWeb is already open, I open Aperture, add images, and the media browser in iWeb would pick up the new images within a few seconds.
    Now the only way I can get the media browser to show the new images is to exit and restart iWeb.
    Any way to get the automatic media browser refresh working again?

    Have you tried reapplying the following:
    iLife Media Browser Update
    iLife Support 9.0.3

  • Premiere CS6 media browser keeps refreshing

    I teach a high school Multimedia course. We have Premiere CS6, and when trying to import footage from an ACVHD footage from a Canon Vixia camcorder, the media browser is constantly refreshing, making it impossible to import, sometimes wasting an entire class period. This is unacceptable. I have read in other forums that this issue was resolved in CC updates of the software, but we are only licensed for CS6 with no plans or budget in the near future to upgrade. How can this be resolved? If there is no fix for this in CS6, I will be having some serious regrets for deciding to switch from FCP to Premiere this year. Any resolution to this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks -

  • Force iMovie's media browser to refresh albums in iPhotos without restart of iMovie

    Is there a way, while in iMovie, to force the media browser to refresh without restarting iMovie?
    Often I will add an image to the album in iPhoto and command tab back to iMovie to use it. Yet, it is not there unless I close out of the app. Is there a way to refresh the media browser?

    iMovie can take a age to load once you have filled it up with a load of video hence why a refresh feature would be great.
    Im regularily importing music into itunes mid edit and having to shut down and restart iMovie which is frustrating as you loose where you are and can sometimes boil a kettle whilst waiting for it.
    I havent investigated a direct import into iMovie yet which might be easier.

  • Media browser contents do not update

    If I have a document open in Pages, and open the Media Browser, I can view (among other things) the photos in my iPhoto library. If I then connect a camera and import photos into iPhoto, the Media Browser does not update to show the new photos. I usually have to quit and relaunch Pages, though every now and then something happens (I wish I knew what!) that magically causes the Media Browser to refresh without doing that.
    Any clues? Is there a way to force the Media Browser to update its contents?

    Only the method you have chosen.
    Clearly not ideal.

  • IWEB - Force update of media browser

    G'day All
    When using iWEB if I create a new image in Photoshop and add it to iPHoto it takes a few minutes before it shows up in the iWEB media browser. Does anyone know how to force the iWEB media browser to poll its database?
    Cheers

  • Media browser cache?

    Is there a reason why the thumbnails in the media browser must be recreated every time I scroll the browser up or down? every time I review a clip and go back to the Media Browser it has to refresh from scratch, apparently because there is no cache.
    See http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/926347

    The reason is that Adobe didn't program this aspect of Premiere Pro very well.  It definitely needs correcting.  Please let them know.

  • Video Podcast entries keep uploading wrong video from Media Browser

    This started about a week ago. I have iLife 08 that I am using iMovie and iWeb for a video podcast page, for which there are at least a dozen videos up. Last week I created a couple of video projects and shared them with the Media Browser. But now, every video entry I create is the first of the two videos I made in iLife, let's call it "Video 1". Now I am four videos later. When I export to my local disk, the correct videos load, but when I upload to Mobile Me, all of the entries since Video 1 was created show Video 1. I even deleted the video projects from iMovie.
    Is there some sort of way to refresh the cache on the Media Browser, or has anyone else had this issue?

    Still not working. I have to "Publish All To MobileMe" for it to work. It has something to do with how iMovie exports. For some reason all the files exported have the filename SIZESELECTION-INDEXNUMBER, so all of my movies are named medium, medium-1, medium-2, medium-3 and after the last patch was installed, all new pages only look at "medium" and ignore the number added at the end.
    But again, I don't have this problem with I publish to a local folder.

  • When preparing video for Media Browser share it quits

    I've been video taping class discussions on a Panasonic camcorder, and bringing them into Imovie.  Most of the movies are around an hour+ and take up all but a bit of the dvd.  Had no problems, and then I did one, where I inadvertently hadn't change the wide screen default to regular size, so redid it, and in the Share> media browser, it re processed it but when I made a few changes and set it up to reprocess to put on IDVD somewhere along the way it just popped the whole computer and went blank and shut off.  FORTUNATELY, Mac came back up and program doesn't seem to be damaged, altho I wouldn't know if it was, it just continued to work. 
    So, I dumped that project and redid it, and it processed fine and I put it in IDVD and burned it.
    I went on to do 5 more, editing, and now I'm at the point of Share>Media browse for IDVD processing of all of them, and the first one I did, it blanked out the IMac again.  So I tried a 26 min one....and it did the same thing. 
    Has this happened to anyone else and what should I do?  Should I refresh the IMovie in case it has a glitch in there now? thanks
    PS I did notice that when it's working, on an hour IMovie, it will say "this will take about an hour...."
    when it doesn't work it usually starts our with "this will take about 2 hours"
    This is IMovie in the ILife 09 version

    I fully understand that rendering isn't conducive, but this is the trade-off that you're experiencing.
    When clips are moved or composited, FCP has to prepare that video for display in the Canvas. If you're working in Unlimited RT - as most of us are - then you're asking FCP to work harder at doing just that. And, unlike Motion, FCP doesn't use the GPU whole-hog, so it's easy to max that resource out quickly with large images.
    The only real way to prevent this from happening when you're moving clips is to toggle Caps Lock on, disabling rendering. I don't think this is particular conducive to most workflows either (especially if you're compositing), but if all you need to do is resequence existing elements, it might work for you.
    The other possibility is to use lower-resolution proxy images but that, like everything else, isn't really an answer...

  • Leopard Media Browser Updating

    I am noticing that when I add additional media (via import or other method) it does not instantly appear in the media browser for use in applications. Is anyone else noticing this issue? Is there a way I can force the media browser to refresh itself? New media does eventually appear, but I can not detect a pattern for when it finally is available.
    FYI - The delayed media is usually imported photos in Aperture 2.1 but I am certain that I am generating previews and those processes are complete.
    Any ideas?

    I have opened and closed several apps... no result.
    Aperture says it is updating previews on close... no result.
    I have not tried the age old, log out and log back in. (I have a process running in the background I do not want to interrupt)
    Either way, it shouldn't come to that I would hope.

  • Can you see which timeline clips are being used in Media Browser?

    I'm a relatively new user and may not be familiar enough with cs5.5 but
    is there a way to see what clips are being used on the editing timeline in the media browser.
    I open premiere pro - Project is loaded. I edit the scene until it is finished.
    When I look over at the media browser, all my raw clips (some of which I'm
    using on the editing timeline) look the same - I can't tell which ones I using on the timeline.
    The reason I ask - when I fiinish editing a scene it would be nice to glance over at the
    media brower folder where my raw clips are located - easily see which ones I'm using because they
    are highlighted or checked and then delete the ones I no longer need.
    Is there a way to do this now?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I dont think so  but a better way is to look in the top of the Project Window and there is a drop down that will show you all the useage instances of the clip.  You can click on them to go to them in the timeline.

  • ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

    I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
    Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
    I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
    Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
    I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

    you can't, you'd need to find the DVD

    no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

  • Is there any way to prevent misbehaving solved by refreshing the browser?

    When I play my published Captivate 6 file in the browser (in this case Google Chrome), it sometimes gets "stuck" --- rollovers don't  work properly or buttons don't show up when they are supposed to. Sometimes I get the audio echo problem where audio from some previous slide plays on a future slide). None of these things happen during previews.
    If I refresh the browser and then continue where I left off, the problems are gone.
    What is causing this awful behavior? I am afraid I am disappointing my client, which I never want to do and have never done in the past!  We will have to publish instructions telling people that if anything goes wrong, they should just refresh their browsers. But some may not know how to do that, some may not read the instructions, etc. etc. causing support calls to my client and general dissatisfaction with the training.
    Is this just a shoddy product or did I not do something I need to do to get it to behave itself?
    Please advise! Thank you,
    Ellen

    hmm the a64 is locked so you cannot use a cpu multipier to have only cpu go faster..
    i oc with the fsb....but noticed that i may actually be over running my power, at high oc's(233)  if i unplug at least 3 hard drives, and some fans it will run microsofts memmory tester...but not with them in.
    you may be able to oc if you drop your mem speed down in bios to 333 or 200.
    so when you oc the memm will clib from there...i have seen good results from that.
    one person was able to catch my 232 results from dropping down to 200 mem speeds.
