Render files missing? - need help

I was organizing my files and folders, and I must of moved something that had some render files in it. When I start up FCP, I get the "offline files" message that says all my render files went offline.
It says I have 1 media file offline and 228 render files offline. Th puzzling part is if I just continue, the video plays just fine - no rendering needed, no rendering bar. But I can't export using compressor because it says it can't find any render files.
So when I hit "reconnect", it takes me to the menu to reconnect the media. When I search, it finds nothing.
When I look at my media hard drive, I see my projects and see render folders. So there are render folders there. The only thing I can think of what happened is I had duplicate render folders, and when I cleaned up and organized, I must of deleted the duplicate and erased the trash.
I would think when you render, it would create the render files into the appropriate folder. So I guess the solution would be to re-render the whole video, which is fine since I have the time. Would that the best solution?
And if so, what is the best way to accomplish this?
Sidebar: In my media hard drive, I have a folder that says 'render files' and each video project I'm working on has a folder within. Is that the best method for storage? Or is it best to have each project as a folder, with it's own render files folder within the video project folder?

From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > System Settings > Scratch Disks.
The second entry will tell you where FCP expects your Render folder to be.
If you have moved the folder with the Finder to another location, the path to it is broken, as far as FCP is concerned.
Either, move the folder to the location that Final Cut Pro expects, change the location in the Scratch Disks window to where the folder currently resides or delete the individual subfolders and render again.

  • Render files missing-after duplication and also after moving

    I have to replace a drive, which is still working well, so i went ahead and tried to move libraries with all its content (Events,projects,reneder files), which doesnt exist as an option... as far as i was able to figure this out....
    then i went ahead to move events, where as one in 5 was movable the others would only have copy as an option.
    which strikes me as oddity already...
    after this was done i compared the content of libraries between the 2 drives, and was in shock.
    the render files were all missing, needless to state here, that i wil NOT re-render weeks of work again...LOL
    so i went and googled this, and came to thousands of answers on how to move or copy events to a different location , but always on the same HD.
    there was absolutely nothing about moving Libraries with the Events and Projects and render Files all together explained ,....  ANYWHERE!
    is there anyone out there who knows how to do this, so the render files actually move over to a new HD and ,...of course,...are reconnected there propperly and usable?
    manually moving these render folders will NOT reconnect them to the projects,.... just as a FYI ...
    why is there no instructions in the FCPX help menu on moving " Everything "..??
    but thousands of article on how to move only parts and pieces .....

    using disk utility to do a clone of the old drive to a brandnew   drive... would this have done the trick?
    you know the restore to destination trick....
    or would have these renderd files still not connect since the drive might have a unique manufacturer id number...
    yes ...the new drive would have been called the very same as the old drive...
    the old drive has a clicking noice so seagate replaced it...
    and i am in a challenge to move all stuff over now...to the new drive...

    Try rebuilding your iTunes Library:
    (This will cause all devices to see your library as a "new" library)
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. File>LIbrary>Organize Library: Consolidate Files.
    -This process may take some time.
    3. Quit iTunes.
    4. Browse to your iTunes Folder.
    5. Drag the files to the desktop, but leave the folders in place (folders will be iTunes Media, Album Artwork, Previous iTunes Libraries)

  • How do I save markers to an MP3 file? Need help asap.

    I add the markers to my wav file and save the wav file as my master. Then I save the wav file with the markers as an MP3 file. However, when I open up the MP3 file, there are no markers. I need the tracks to be on the MP3 file for digital downloads. how do I add markers on  an MP3 file so I can either
    use that file to have as a digital download and/or burn a CD. Either way I use the file, I need to have the markers on the MP3 file. I really need help with this. I am working on a project that is time sensitive. Anyone that can help me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    No.
    I've reread portions of the manual and it's kind of coufusing, but I think I figured it out
    The manual states in order to save markers, you have to save non-audio data with the file. It also states it saves this as XMP info in an mp3.
    I don't think the markers are a datatype that get exported with XMP info, at least from what I can tell becuase I have been unable to save an mp3 with the markers.
    But, let's sidestep that. Right now, this isn't your issue. Your issue is you want to preserve track markings so when people download this mp3, they can listen to it as "tracks" rather than a continious MP3. The problem is not all mp3 software supports it, in fact, everything that does has it bolted on. So only a small percentage of people downloading the mp3 will be able to actually use that function. foobar2000 and winamp users, yeah, they could deal with an mp3 using an embedded cue....if you embedded the cuesheet as it required. Windows Media/iTunes people...they have absolutely no support for playing a long mp3 as tracks.
    so, to begin with...what you want to do, is "technically impossible". CUE is not supported by id3v2 and is therefore not offically supported. Don't get angry at me, I did not write the mp3 specifications. You'll likely find that even if you do find a solution googling "embed cuesheet mp3", the results won't work the way you want or be a method thats universal. Regardless of how you do this....audition is not going to embed markers when you save as mp3. You'd have to export the markers to a cue-sheet somehow (which I haven't figured out how to do in audition because it appears it doesn't) and use an external program to embed them...or distribute the cue file with the mp3. milage will vary, majority of users probably wouldn't be able to make use of it.
    The OTHER alternative...which is probably less supported than embedding a cue sheet to an mp3, is you CAN maintain makers and have a layer-3 bitstream...but you have to save the file as a .wav using an ACM WAV and use a layer 3 codec. Technically, you're creating a wav, but since wav can work technically as a container format, the audio content is mpeg layer 3...but, again....since things like Media Player or iTunes or even Winamp don't pay attention to them as they're extra information in the WAV header, this still doesn't give you the track-split function you're looking for.
    there have only been loose standards defined by developers and users for what you want to do. while there are "open" ways of doing it, it's never gained much support.
    the only way you can guarntee you can distrubte track'd mp3's is to split thing in to seperate files to begin with.
    sorry.

  • Render files missing after export using compressor

    The deets:
    Render file path is correct.
    Render files live on an XSAN, shared by multiple users.
    The FCP Sequence is fully rendered before output through compressor.
    After compressor is done working, sequence becomes unrendered.
    Any ideas?
    Manually relinking is not a viable solution - we work with a buttload of media. Each program is 30 mins & takes enough time to render to make this a major issue.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Rich

    I'm sure there's a reason for this to happen, which given the info provided I have not quite identified, however, to keep things going...
    After full render of video and audio export as QT movie "reference" ( uncheck self-contained box before exporting) that will take a lot less to export and a LOT less space.

  • I deleted all my iTunes files and need help recreating them.

    Hello everyone
    I accidentlly deleted all the iTunes files (NOT the content, just the files iTunes uses in its database). When I tried to create a new database, iTunes moved all my my music videos into the Movies or Home videos, which I don't want. I have a copy of my folder set up that I want iTunes to use and to not alter (exactly as it was before I deleted the files). Here is what I thought I need to do. Please corect me if I am wrong:
    1. remove all the files that iTunes has relocated to different folders (IE, basically delete them all)
    2. copy the folders onto the drive I use for my media
    3. start itunes
    4 unselect Keep my files organized
    5. scan the folders
    6. Select all the music and videos and classify them as "Music" or "Music Videos"
    This should keep all the files in the same folders as the backup copy, without moving them to Videos or Home Videos. I assume this will also retain the current Artist / Album / Song hierarchy.
    Is this correct?
    Any better way to do this?
    Thanks everyone who can help!
    JoHN

    1) If you bought them from Apple you canprobably download them again.
    2) If you back up your computer as you should, they will be on the backup.
    3) If you stop using your computer this instant (because as you use the computer it overwrites deleted files even if you have lots of space), buy recovery software ($100+), there is a  chance you can recover some of them, though they may have lost filenames and will be in quite a mess.

  • Having trouble with a audio file. Need help please!

    Hello. 
    This may sound funny and not to related to any of this at first, but if anyone here knows about the game portal, then they know about the ARG that went on during last week and may even still be continuing. None of thats really important but if anyone cares to know, basically VALVe released a new update with 30 new sounds, 26 of them moarse code/sstv pictures. 3 of them called dinosaur_fizzle 1 2 and 3. Infact, each one was named dino_1 dino_2 and so on. 
    The main sound that no ones been able to crack is called Dinosaur_noise. Its obvious there are voices in it and its some sort of major clue, this file is way out of league with the other ones. No ones solved it 100% or cleaned it enough to make basically anything audible.
    Now this started March 1st. Since then i have worked hours on the audio file. I have gotten close, but not close enough.
    Thats why im turning to someone here, that can do a through analysis of the audio that adobe or reaper just cannot do.
    In the attachments is the original file itself with no editing what so ever.
    Heres some collected data. 
    Frequencies of interest
    An analysis was undertaken to find the strongest frequencies acting within "dinosaur_noise". Linear and Logarithmic curves showed sets of dominant figures, with the most being:
    Frequency (Hz)
    Comments
    9092
    Largest spike before silence
    7862
    Very faint
    7812
    Very faint
    7657
    Very faint
    7502
    Largest spike in the 4000-9000Hz band
    3502
    various noise between 3502 and 3510
    360
    Another very visible wave. This was the most pronounced visible wave in the Logarithmic scale
    35
    The most dominant low frequency wave
    There are a few standout segments, not of voice data underneath, but visible clicks or something happening about 5 times. These could be indications of splices or other manipulations going on. The largest noticed broad-spectrum spikes were:
    Time(in samples)
    Comments
    55402
    First broad spike
    422931
    Second broad spike
    751643
    Third broad spike
    1081537
    Fourth broad spike
    1110841
    Fifth broad spike
    Silence in the frequency ranges is located in the band of 10.567 - 15.337 KHz. All frequencies above that are likely to be high frequency poinoning from the FFT process. 
    Heres what i know personally.
    -Noise reduction makes it a lot worse and adds strange harmonics and artifacts.
    -Most filters do the same.
    -Clear voice around 15 that says THATS AMAZING.
    If anyone cares to help I would appreciate it so much.

    LabVIEW has a sound and vibration toolkit.  Do you have that?  Do you have LabVIEW?
    The forum is made up of volunteers who will help others with their LabVIEW problems.  But you need to have a specific problem and ask clear questions.
    What you are asking for is very unclear.  Why do you even want to do a "thorough analysis of the audio"?  No one is going to do your project for you.

  • File Merging --- Need Help

    Greetings,
    I am pretty new at this program, and I am trying to understand how to do my homework assignment. So I do not need the full code, just some help on how to get started.
    I am trying to write a program that merges all files together whose names match a certain pattern, and writes the result to an output file. The input-file pattern will consist of a combination of "normal" filename characters and question marks (?). A question mark in the input-file pattern denotes a single-character "wild card". Thus, the pattern ab?c?.txt would denote all file names that consist of 9 characters such that:
    the first two characters are ab
    the fourth character is c
    the last four characters are .txt
    For example, this would include filenames such as abxc7.txt and abqcc.txt.
    So if there are files in a folder, for example, called abc.txt, adc.txt, cat.txt, and the contents of each has two similar lines of "This is File ZZZ" Where ZZZ represents the name of the file. Then running the program with the pattern a??.txt and the output file finished.txt will result in the file finished.txt having the contents
    This is file abc.txt.
    This is file abc.txt.
    This is file abd.txt.
    This is file abd.txt.
    I don't really know where to begin here. Could you help me out? Thanks

    Check out the API docs for java.io.File. It has methods to list all the files in a particular directory.
    For the name matching, you can create a class that implements FileFilter or FileNameFilter that you then pass to these methods.
    The filter's accept method would test the file name against your criteria.
    (You wouldn't have to use the filter. You could just iterate over the files and compare each one yourself.)
    To do the actual comparison, you could use the String.matches() method or you could just do the character by character comparison yourself.
    If you google for java io tutorial you should find something that will help you with the File class, and java regex tutorial for String.match()
    Break the problem into small pieces, and get each one working before moving onto the next.
    First write a method that takes in a pattern "a?bc?.txt" and a String (that represents a filename) and returns true or false depending on whether it mathes.
    Then write a method that takes the patten and an array or List of Strings or Files and uses the first method to return an array or List of Strings or Files that represents the subset of the original list that matched.
    Post again if you have specific questions about specific parts that you don't understand or cant' get to work.

    Hi rhayn, I think you're getting confused about what "file sharing" really is used for. You need to say to yourself "do I want someone on another machine to access these files?" If yes, you need file sharing; if no, forget about it.
    So, the second user, are they on another machine or are they using the same mac as you?
    Just as in windows, when you share a folder over the network, you can set different permissions on the "share" compared to the permissions on the files and folders themselves. In all cases, the most restrictive permissions apply. Therefore if you give read/write to the shared folder (the "share"), but a folder is read only (to the second user), they will be able to view the list of files in that folder, but not open them (equivalent to the windows permission called "list folder contents"). If the folder was read/write, the second user can create files and edit them. If the folder is read/write and existing files are read only, they can open them but not save changes. Where OS X differs from windows is the mechanism for setting permissions; OS X uses the unix/posix permission system. In addition, if you are the owner of the folder or file, you can always do anything with the folder or file.
    All of the above paragraph is only information you need to use IF the other user is connecting to your mac from ANOTHER computer across a network.

  • 10.1.4 library file missing for help and update not working

    Just updated to AR 10.1.4 and everything seems to be working except the help and update functions are not working. I get the message that the library help file is missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled in both FF15 anf IE9 with the same result and I installed from both Adobe and FileHippo with the same result. Anybody have any suggestions?

    On the AR 10.1.4 tool bar menu click the "Help" item and the drop down screen shows a number of items to select from. If I click on "Adobe Reader X Help" I get a message saying "the library file is missing and I should reinstall". As for "check for updates" nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled AR 10.1.4 from two different browsers, IE9 and FF 15 with no difference. I'm using Vista 32 bit OS.

  • My iBook has lost my files! Need help!

    Yesterday I went to unlock my computer and the password box wouldn't come up all it showed was a spining color wheel, so I shut my computer down with the power button and restarted it. After I loged back in all of my files in my doc, picture, movies, and music folders along with my files on my desktop had disapeared. My hard drive still says the space is used up on my hard drive I just can not locate them anywhere. I have run disk utility and have not been successfull in recovering anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can recover/find my files again? Thanks in advance.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You can try and start the computer from the OSX installer disc#1 and
    use the menu beneath the "Installer" by clicking on its name, to access
    the part that says reset password. This may be a premature move, but
    if you can find anything regarding your system before this, you may need
    to see if you can do so by attempting an Archive and Install; and choose
    to save your user permissions and information, so maybe a new system
    could have your old account stuff in it. That may retain your old user folder.
    Another idea (outside of the two or so packed together above) would be
    to make a new user with Admin privileges and use that to see if the
    system can be talked into finding your other files. Each user's files
    have a certain inaccessibility from even an Admin's level of permissions.
    I have and use OnyX software in my machines, and it does a
    good job of keeping on top of system maintenance procedures
    I am otherwise at a loss or too lazy to perform; it can do some
    tasks to help clean up a system (but not wipe stuff) and keep
    the time/date things working smoothly; and other tasks. I use it
    a few times a month, usually when bored and the system's fine.
    Preventative maintenance and repairing disk permissions can
    help to keep things going well. Don't know really why, but it does.
    [I know if/when the situation you have should arise in my computers, I
    hope to have a working full computer hard drive clone available to go in
    and irradicate the contents of the hard drive and replace it with a clone.
    But any super-recent stuff would be lost unless automatic backups were
    being made by a utility on the computer, making a backup to a FW HDD.
    Mine do not have this last faculty. Mine is a full clone from a week ago.
    Made manually, and when I did that, other utilities were run and the drive
    was wiped, zeroed and reformatted; and the clone was re-cloned back.]
    You may be able to see some "lost" files (but not open them) from a
    new user account, by using a utility named What Size. This can find
    things that take up disk space, and it also can delete things real easily.
    It does not care what it deletes, but it can find things by size and location.

  • Canon 5D Mark II .mov file corrupt Need help

    I have one file captured during a video session that I cannot copy, edit without locking the entire computer and having to hard start the machine. I need this file to finish editing a job. All the other files from this session work flawlessly with this one exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cant cut, paste, delete, save as, export, any function without crashing. When I try to export or save as it stops at a certain point and freezes the maching. Export not responding, save as not responding. Then I have to restart

    It is because your 5D Mark II files are sRAW images, not raw. (The full 5D Mark II raw files are usually over 20 MB, not ~8 MB.) When you process sRAW files into DNG files, the DNG files are stored in the "linear DNG" format, which is much bigger than the sRAW format.
    p.s., these questions should be directed to the Camera Raw, Lightroom, or DNG forums in the future to get a faster reply.
