Relinking media...please s.o.s

In my FCPX Project there was a clip missing because I removed the hard disk where it was originally placed...but the same file is in my hard disk...BUT I don't know how can I tell to my project that this file is here and make the final cut x replace/relink it....I'm fcpro user since 7 years ago guys!!!!
Need help!!

There is a way that I use to reconnect the clips.  Go to the clip in the timeline.  I assume it is red.  Control Click on it and choose Reveal in Event Browser.  The event containing the clip, and the clip itself will appear in the event browser.  If you have selected only a section of that clip, the range of your in and out point will be represented in the clip as a yellow border.  Carefully navigate around that clip in the event browser so you don't change the yellow boundaries.  Go up to the File/Import File menu selection and select the file from where you have it stored on your drive.  Import it.  With the clip selected in the timeline and its section selected in the event browser, FCP X will reimport the clip and fill in the timeline and the event browser clip.
If you have put effects on the clip on the timeline, they will still be there and may be confirmed by clicking on the timeline clip and looking at the Video tab of the Inspector window.  Best wishes.

  • Premiere Pro CC relinking media not working correctly OSX 10.8.4

    Hi Running the latest build of CC on Mac running 10.8.4 having real issues with relinking media using the media browser. I cant seem to get it to search the directory I choose using the browser at all. As soon as I hit search it starts searching the whole system drive from Applications down. I doesnt matter where I point, even another directoty on the system drive it will go back to searching /Applications first. Also typing a path in the path dialog does not seem to work at all just errors. As a note our media drives are assigned using an NFS mount at / not using Volumes not sure if this is cause?
    Anybody got any ideas as to why this does not work. Having watched several videos on the net which all seem to be the Windows version it all works as it should. Having to use the old finder way which results in several passes to find everything.
    Any help here appreciated as we have to move projects around a lot and this is an essential feature we really need to work better.
    Simon

    Im leaving the below just as it did seem to work until i loaded all my own stuff back in,
    so if you can go without all your current prefs, works spaces etc then do the folowing,
    if not (like me) then its still broken!
    Ive jsut been on to tech support, if you delete the file called
    Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp
    from prefs folder
    it fixes the issue,
    so basically a clean install doesnt have the issue, its some kind of hang up with your presets for workspaces or actions of prefs.
    here's how the conversation goes,
    Bharati: In Photoshop Window, click on Edit > Presets > Preset Manager
    Bharati: Then export the presets before resetting preferences.
    I did this and saved to desktop, (i re imported them at the end and the 'fix' still sticks so seems to work.
    Bharati: please close Photoshop application and follow the below steps.
    Bharati: Open Finder.
    Bharati: Click on Go > Go to folder.
    Bharati: Type : ~/Library in the search field.
    Bharati: Hit Go, it will navigate to the Library folder.
    Bharati: From there, please open the Preferences folder.
    Bharati: Just to confirm, are you using Photoshop CS6?
    dan: nope CC
    Bharati: Okay.
    Bharati: From the Preferences folder, please open Adobe Photoshop CC settings folder.
    Bharati: Then you will see Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp file.
    Bharati: Please drag the Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp file to desktop.
    re start Pshop,
    test the problem,
    re-import settings, test again,
    relax..

  • How to relink media in CS6

    When I first open a project in PrPro it asks a strange request to relink media.  No files have been moved and all my media is on one hard drive.  I understand how to relink media but this is strange.  It asks "Where is the File "V1-etc, etc, etc?  I've never labeled a clip V1.
    Could this be pertaining to the V1 video track?
    Could this have happened if I updated PrPro, not thinking, with a Premiere Pro CC update on my CS6 program and this is causing the problem?
    I have a timeline in PrPro that was worked on in Resolve.  In the timeline it shows all my clips offline.  But, in my bins, the clip that is shown offline in the timeline is ONLine in my bin.
    How can I relink the media to get it to show correctly in the timeline.
    I have a suspension this is a result of updating something I should not have updated.
    Dan you advise?
    Mandla

    It seems PrPro created a bin as well.   There's no way I'm creating a bin labeled like this.  The one clip that you see is relinked was from me highlighting all the off line clips, choosing that clip to relink in the hopes that all would come online.  This labeling doesn't make sense.  I did have archived timelines labeled The Broken 527, but other than that nothing more.

  • Relinking media question

    Hi everyone,
    I am using CS3
    I have a question about relinking media. I have some MXF files, which are quite long (going on for 2 hours) (these were captured on a Sony EX3 camera). There are 4 mono audio tracks associated with each video file. Although CS3 works with these files it is generally quite slow, and I was planning to render them to a native format (Matrox HD) and relink the assets. The render works fine, but I am only able to export the AVI file with stereo audio or no audio (these are the only options within Premiere). When I try to relink the asset, it won't do it, as the audio componet is different. Is there any way to force Premiere into accepting it with or without audio (I am using a remixed audio on separate channel so the camera audio is irrelevant). Or anyway to export 4 channels of audio (which I can then mute if necessary)
    Many thanks in anticipation.
    Daniel

    Hi,
    I'm presuming that you mean that you don't think it's possible?

  • CS3 Relink Media problems

    I have a project that I edited two years ago... it's a Matrox LE, HD project. 1920 x 1080.  All of the clips are XD Cam HD.  (I know 1440 x 1080, but at the time, Matrox didn't have a preset for this...)  Upon completing the original project, I trimmed it down.
    Now, I have all the files on an external drive.  I've tried to open the project, but get the dreaded unlinked media red page with Japanese characters.  The funny thing is:  ALL OF THE MEDIA is there!  I can actually go to the "drive level" and play back the media!  When opening Premiere asks me to navigate to the media... I do, but when it opens, it still appears as though MOST of the clips aren't there... two or three come up, and play back just fine in the timeline, the rest do not.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to alleviate this problem?

    Hunt,
    I have tried relinking the media from the project window.... I have tried on single clips and several clips to RIGHT CLICK and then select "relink media".
    I get the navigation prompts, it ALLOWS me to select a clip to relink, and then the nav box closes... the clip in the project window remains the same.  What other ways to do this are there?
    As for the project file... well, you've given me a good idea.  I'll go see what I have in the "vault" of auto saves!  I am indeed using the project file as I've "control S'd" like crazy!
    I'm using a project file that was TRIMMED down from the original in Premiere itself, using their tool to do so!  I've had GREAT luck with that in the past.  I'm a type A guy, so now I'll scour my drives to find the original project, if it still exists!
    I am indeed using the Matrox card still... I have no idea what could cause this!

  • Cannot relink media in Creative Cloud

    I'm having trouble relinking media from a project created in PP 6.0 when opened in CC. The project opens with all media offline, but the connected external hard drive is not appearing in the media browser - which makes relinking apparently impossible.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks so much for the prompt reply.  I took the time to get in touch with Adobe support via chat.  Just finding out how to contact them and then do  it was a real chore in itself.  The tech led me through the corrections with the problems in the temp directory.  It was a long and painful process.  In the end it got fixed and (after wading through a couple hours of installation routines) I have InDesign and the three other apps installed and working.  It seems to me that InDesign has a real problem here.  I was installing into a Win 7 OS that I had just clean installed on a brand new hard drive so it's difficult to understand why the problem occurred.  Just another anomaly in the world of bits and bites, I guess.
    Thanks again!

  • Relinking Media

    Hi all,
    I'm sure that this question was asked befor but unfortunatly I don't find the right post here.
    I started editing a project on my laptop with mediafiles form a Canon XF. On the laptop, the footage is in a subfolder beside the premiere project file. Now I move to faster desktop computer and put the project file and the footage to two different drives. When I start my project, premiere asking me where the media is, thats obvious. When I remember right, usually I show premiere the path of the first media and the rest ist linked automatically. But now only the one file ist relinked. What can I do that premiere automatically find every asset?
    Thx
    Johannes
    edit
    ok, for now I found a solution. I just copied the project file to the media drive so that again the same folder structure is there. then "save as" to the new location. But the question still remains. What if i have to relink media files where I don't know the exact file structure?

    jojejo wrote: What can I do that premiere automatically find every asset?
    First, watch the video that Fuzzy posted above. (looks like you did already, good)
    Relinking was one of our top feature requests at CS6, and earlier. So we re-did it all for this upcoming version. In many cases, if your media has just been moved to a nearby location and all the realtive paths are the same, it will just find it for you and you won't have to relink at all. If you've moved it further away (like to a new system or drive, or to a different root path) you will have to point it to the first file and it will find everything else for you if the relative positions are unchanged or at least close. In the case where a lot of files have been moved to a lot of places, it will just prompt you whenever it gets to a file it can't find, and then continue relinking automatically from there. Also the locate file dialog contains its own media browser instances, so it should be a lot easier to navigate when you do have to hunt for your media.
    Relink workflows are like snowflakes, so it won't work perfectly for everyone all the time. And like anything 'automatic', if you know what you're doing, and you expect it to perform in a certain way, you may be better off going manual. For that reason, we've allowed you to toggle off the the 'relink others automatically' and also to bypass the locate file dialog in favor of the OS finder if you prefer.
    I'm not just trying to sell you on CS7 (I get no incentive for that). I just want you to know that relink has been a pain point for our users for a long time. It was greatly in need of an overhaul, which it has just gotten. I beleive that it is greatly improved for this next version, and if early reviews/previews are any indictation, our users will agree.

    PS @ fuzzy: I'm not sure how clear Al's demo video made this, but the last known file path is now visible as a hard-text column in the Link Media dialog. More importantly, there is a 'Last Path' field in the locate file dialog which is selectable & copy-able (but not editable). And fianlly, there is an editable Path field below 'last path'. So you can now copy/past and/or edit the text to just point it to a different root or modified path or whatever. I just read some posts on that other thread from you that looked like you were wanting to do something like that, so I thought you'd want to know.

  • How to relink media programatically using actionscript or from extendscript?

    Hi,
         Can somebody suggest a way to relink the media files in a premiere pro CC project files to another media location programatically?
         In CC project files we cannot edit anything right?
         So if we need to change the Project File items path what should we do other than manually relinking each file?
    Please Suggest, Thanks you,

    Is there no way to get buttons to open up explorer folders specified? It seems people are managing it somehow, but i can't do it. Others aprantly can do it using this code:
         on(release){
          getURL("flash",_black);
    , but that's actionscript 2, not 3 which i am using. Surely actionscript 3 can do this and possibly even better seeing as it is a higher version?
    I also found another bit of code that was like this:
         fscommand("exec","explorer\dirname");
    ,but again that didnt work. However, in another way it did because flash reported no errors when it was run, but nothing happened when the button was clicked.
    The only other thing i tried was this:
         var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("C:\\");
        navigateToURL(request);
    The problem with that was that it tried to open the internet as expected unfortinatly, not windows explorer to open the folder C:\\.
    Directing users to the appropiate locations on the disk wasn't really what i needed thanks for the suggestion though.
    EDIT:
    That last idea worked, sorry, but it opened in the default web-browser instead of using explorer, so i'm half way there. Is it possible to tell it what application to use to open the directory, so that way i can specify explorer?

    Excellent - great information guys! I love the links to write ups.
    preface: (This whole project was shot with Canon 5DM2 - I don't remember if the cameras were set at 24 or 30 fps )  so as i am learning about the export options i am also learning (the hard way) about the seq settings.
    Right now on my current project (fashion show)  I have 9 designers that walked the runway, so i am creating 9 timelines in a project. for each designer/tl i will output (.mov)vimeo and facebook seg for each one. i have edited 4 designers so far and i think i have some issues and i need to learn more about seq settings and also output options.
    I am also delivering a physical dvd.  I created a FINAL tl that i am dropping each (nested) designer segment onto.  when i created this tl i must have set it up as dv ntsc - (out of habit)-and i think that is the choice for going to physical dvd?not sure?.
    the first 2 designers i set the seq settings at dv ntsc and they fit (nested ) on the "final" tl, ///however i think i had to resize all those  clips (I didn't know why they weren't right. - honestly i can't remember///
    ANYWAYS,  Designers 3 and 4= i had set the seq settings at canon xf mpeg2 1080i/p
    Should all the designers seg be set at canon xf mpeg2 1080i/p (i selected 1080p30) but i really don't know if it was 24 or 30 (is that information in clip info somewhere?)
    Can I change a seq setting once the timeline is edited on? = please don't tell me i have to re=edit. yikes What should the correct settings be?
    Is there a work around to put designers 1&2 (dv ntsc settings) on same tl with 3&4 (canon xf mpeg 1080p30) ?
    Finally what setting should that final (NESTED FINAL timeline all designers) be? - for output to physical DVD ( JVC-Taiyo Yuden )  

  • Premere Pro CC Win 8 64 bit relinking media is taking hours

    Hi,
    I opened my Premeere Pro CC Project file.  I must have moved the After Effects project and now all of the media is offline.  When I relink the media, it spends hours processing while and the progress bar is not moving.  I only have 21 clips offline.  I clcik cancel to get out of the dialogue window and then the title bar says Link Media (not responding).  I have to force quit.
    Anyone else having this issue?  Is there a work around?

    Is there a work around?

  • Relink media every time I open project.

    So I recently migrated a project and media to a new set of drives and predictably I had to relink the media. This was no big problem, I've done it before but now, every time i open that project it can't find the media and i need to relink it. Is there some way to permanently fix this other than to start renaming drives and folders?? Hopefully I'm just missing the bleeding obvious - which is usually the case.
    Many thanks, James

    JamesReardon,
    External drives are fine.  Jim Simon may use internal, RAID5 100% of the time,   But the rest of us frail human editors use a regular mix of internal and external drives, RAID0 - RAID5, or no RAID at all without issue.  Both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt are capable of transferring a whole lot more data per second than ANY hard drive (or even many SSDs) are capable of.  The only caveat to this is if you're using a SLOW drive to begin with.  But in any case, Hard drive X in external form will perform just as well as the same hard drive internally.  To Jim's point, however, internal drives are certainly less expensive than external drives.  But more to the point, I'd be very surprised if your external drive situation was the cause of your "offline" clips.  Wish I could help.  Carry on.
