"render.mov" file goes offline when roundtripping between FCP & STP

Hi there
I'm having an issue roundtripping between Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I have some clips which need to be de-noised, so I right click and select "Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project", do the de-noising with no issue, then save the file and return to Final Cut - your standard roundtripping experience.
However, when Final Cut Pro updates the file in the timeline, it brings up a file offline warning, stating that "~/file.stap:render.mov" is missing. I attempt to reconnect the file by opening the .stap package and creating a duplicate of the render.mov file in there, and reconnecting that, however that brings up the error "The file does not have enough audio tracks to reconnect to "file.stap" at time [time] in sequence [sequence]", and the file remains unconnected and silent in the timeline.
I am selecting the "include source audio" option when saving out of STP. It is also worth noting that I have managed to get this to work once this morning, but not since then. It was also not doing it last week, so I'm not sure what I did differently with that first file this morning.
Any help?
Cheers!

Hi there
Sorry to take so long to come back to this but this project had to spend a little bit of time on the backburner whilst I worked on some other projects.
Thanks for your reply Robert, however saving the STP project as a different .stap file and then attempting to reconnect to it brings out the same error.
This is the error window I get:

I've found that exporting the file as an AIFF and reconnecting to that seems to do the trick, however it is a bit of a roundabout way of doing things when you consider the way I'm trying to do it is the way I should be doing it, and a way that used to work. It's also a pain when you consider I have perhaps dozens of audio artifacts that need some form of audio post in Soundtrack Pro for this project alone.

Why are files going offline when exporting from premiere

Hi all
I've got a feature length documentary of 2 hours. All files are online but upon exporting from premiere via media encoder the finished file has 'media offline' on some shots. I have NO idea why this is happening. All clips are online on the timeline.
I'm exporting both blu-ray mpeg and dvd mpeg. The project is on an external hard drive. Can anyone help this is a nightmare!?
Will exporting via premiere pro direct fix this problem?
Thanks

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

Files goes offline if I import them in AfterEffects

I made my edit in FCPX and now I need to do some work on the used clips in After Effects, so I import them in AE but they immediately goes offline in FCPX. Why ?
What is the correct procedure to edit files in the timeline with an external editor ?
Thanks

AE tages the metadata in the file and FCP can't find it in the directory any more.
Depends on the external editor. You can't with AE.

N95 screen goes black when in between open and clo...

Just noticed today that the screen goes black when sliding open or closed. Screen comes back on when slider reaches open or closed. Is this like the blank screen fault that affected so many N80s ? I'm very disgusted that I have to pay to fix my 16month old (expensive) N95 for an ongoing issue with Nokia sliders that they HAVE NOT fixed in their design. Very poor support Nokia.

Scott your grieviences are justified... but there is always a solution to a problem...even if this is a strange problem to be handled in an off the routine way, be it so... once again best of luck! not blame nokia for anything...nokia rules as always and nokia's productions have become very slow now :-( i wish they could make trendy phones like sony, sleek and stylish with new features.in some ways, nokia gets a little boring with no new features.. i dont feel any differnce between the nokia n95 8gb, n96 and n85(which i currently own)!
Scott lets hope for the best :-)

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

.MOV files Media offline Line Premiere CC - Any ideas. ?

Hey all.
I am have a problem with .MOV files displaying in the premiere timeline. The .MOV files were converted to that in the Go Pro software.
A/ I have just opened a project via a USB 3 raid drive. The project was created on a windows 7 machine running Premiere CC.
B/ Now I have opened it on a different newer windows 7 machine with more Ram and I7 compared to I5
C/ All of the .MOV footage is no longer displaying. I have installed Quicktime on the machine and it makes no difference.
Any ideas what is stopping the footage displaying? . It is showing Media Offline. I checked and all of the footage is still in the same place on the raid drive.
Machine one Windows 7 Now has a paid version of Full Premiere CC ( I can still open it on this old I5 Machine )
Machine Two Windows 7 Trial version of Premiere CC The footage was edited on the other machine while CC was in Trial version so, I feel that is not the issue.
Any idea are appreciated, Am I missing a Codec ?
Thank you for any input.

This was this Free codec that I needed.

The .MOV Go Pro Footage is now working. It is now just the .MOV lower 3rds from Audio Jungle that are not displaying.

Jabber goes offline when enabling capabilities assignment

Hi
Is anyone facing this issue :
Jabber goes offline for all users when enabling capabilities assignment for a new user in CUCM ?
to resolve this we have to go into CUPS and restart the XCP router service or authentication service for the jabber client to reconnect ...
any suggestions \ ideas welcome.... thanks

Hi Araf,
We never had any similar issues to this one. By your description since all users go offline I dont think that this is Jabber issue at all. I suggest you should probably open a TAC case against CUCM to address your issue.
Regards,
Marko

Having trouble "roundtripping" between FCP 6 and Soundtrack Pro 2

I've been a FCP user since it first came out, and believe it or not, this is my first attempt at roundtripping with Soundtrack Pro. Basically the process goes pretty good until it's time to go back to FCP.
Here's my workflow: In FCP I highlight the audio clip in the timeline. I select Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project. It creates a (sent) file, which I save (Save project with latest clip metadata is selected). Once the clip opens in Soundtrack Pro, I make the adjustments I need to make (in this case, I'm getting rid of some background noise), then I save (Include Source Audio is selected).
Here's where the problem comes in. When I go back to FCP, I get the "Some files went offline" warning. When I try to reconnect, I get the following warning:
"File Attribute Mismatch
Some attributes of one or more of the files you have chosen do not match the attributes of the original. This may cause problems within the sequences that are dependent on them. The attributes that differed are as follows:
- Media Start and End
Would you like to try to connect them again?"
When I go to the folder where the modified (sent).stap is saved, it opens and plays back fine. However, it looks like Soundtrack Pro is saving the full clip (from the original footage), not just the selection from my timeline. I'm assuming this is why I'm getting the "File Mismatch" error (basically it's too long).
Is there a step I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First thing to try is resetting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
It's also possible your sequence has gotten corrupted. Try editing a short clip into a new sequence and see if that works.
And what are your sequence settings?
Also, although its a long shot, make sure the frame rate of your easy setup matches the frame rate of your sequence.

Roundtrip between FCP & Motion not working

Hi, I have just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 with Motion 3. Wanted to try the roundtrip integration between FCP & Motion. When I send to motion, my clips are not recognized in motion, I have to physically reconnect the media in the media tab. I thought it is suppose to be automatic.
Do anyone encounter the same problem as me?

let's go back to the purpose:
I have written a mobile app on which people can during a sports match capture the time of the important moments by pressing buttons.
I then convert the time information into an XML or CSV file that can be read by the different NLE. Given that Sony Vegas allows to import
markers independently from a sequence. Now I look at the same things for Premiere. This allows to edit the highlights very quickly vs watching
the entire match coverage again.
I try to replicate that on Premiere through the FCP XML, but now that the roundtrip works, the issue is that FCP XML in its structure wants a sequence.
I could imagine to provide a dummy sequence that can be overlayed by the real content just to preserve the markers. Any ideas?
Regards,
TK

Roundtrip between FCP and Color

Having much trouble doing a round trip from FCP to color. Sent my sequence to color rendered and saved and tried to send back to FCP but the new sequence from color says all the media offline. I made a new sequence and deleted all the effects, etc and sent to color again but the same problem occurs. All the media is offline. Tried exporting the XML file from color and importing directly into FCP but I get this error:
Mon, Jul 21, 2008, 5:03 PM - Errors Found Importing GTF.xml
<xmeml>: Unknown element <sourceprojecturl> encountered.( line 4 )
Any ideas on what the problem is? The sequence I sent to color has several multiclips and these seem to be the only media offline when I roundtrip back to FCP.
Thanks,
Brittany

The error message you received can be safely ignored.

Transferring .mov files with H.264 codec to FCP

I am looking to purchase one of the Canon SLR cameras that offer video
( 5D mark 2 / 7D , etc ) and I understand that the .mov files they generate
( using the H 264 codec ) are not happily worked with in FCP.
Can anyone describe or go into what is then entailed in saving them in
a different format - one that is easily worked with in FCP ?
Is that a simple / quick step, or is it time intensive, etc. ?
Would really like to form a better understanding before purchase. I want the
camera primarily for its still image capability - so choosing another video
format ( better for file coding, etc. ) isn't so much an option.
Nonetheless, I would want to make use of the video features and am just
wondering whether it is a bit of an inconvenience, or a big fat pain in
the @$$.
Thanks for any help,
Sterne

I've made a droplet that converts files from 30 fps to 29.97 and into ProRes 422.
http://www.wallyandnay.net/Droplets/30-%3E29.97ProRes422.zip
I take my files, drop them on the droplet, go watch TV while they convert, then edit in FCP. Is it quick? No, but you can have only two of the following things
No transcoding, amazing quality, cheap price.
Put up with the transcoding.

Render files going offline

Hi Everybody,
I am using Final Cut Pro 7 and each time I open the project Render Files show as offline and no matter how much I try I cannot reconnect them, cannot find them.
I have the main folder for the project and I am the only editor using this computer yet it happens every time. I read couple of discussions but nothing helped I still have to render every day I open the project.
I am working on two projects at the same time, but each projects has its own folder and I reset the scratch disk. Even when I work on the same project for a week it happens the same.
If you have any tips please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Blerta

First, it's always been impossible in my experience to reconnect render files. Just the way it is.
People report offline render files every once in a while here so you might do some searching to see if there's a solution.
Make sure the drive with the renders is on the desktop BEFORE you launch fcp and the project. Are all your drives formatted macosextended? Do you have a minimum of 10% free space on all drives (and 20% on your startup drive)? You might try launching a recent autosave of the project to see if that makes any difference. Are any of your drives connected via a network? Probably not a good idea. Try and render to a local drive.
Have you tried deleting your fcp preferences?

Good luck.

Logic goes nuts when changing between 96k to 44.1k

Hi,
I need to restart my computer a few times until it finally allows me to move between sample rates (some arrangements are 44.1k most are 96k.)
I'm using Logic 8, PT 7.4 HD3 accel.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers

I'm pretty sure that an external USB drive won't have the bandwidth to handle real time playback of 40 24/96 audio files.
20 44K files requires a quarter of the throughput compared to 40 96K files, hence why you don't see the problem working with 44K files or smaller track counts.
I presume your disk meter is peaking when playing back the song?
Try putting the audio files on a FW400, FW800 or eSATA drive - you'll get much better disk throughput.

Microsoft files Read-only when sharing between two Macs

I'm trying to share Excel files between my Macbook and my iMac. The files are located on my macbook and I've given read/write permission to the folder containing the files. When I try to open the files on my iMac they open as read only. This happens with Excel, Word and Power Point files.
How do I configure the file sharing so I can open Microsoft files without them being Read only.
I'm using Office:mac 2004 and both the Macbook and iMac are running OS X (10.5.6)

There have been occassions where I have wanted to transfer something from the MBP to the Mini or vice-versa over wi-fi and have encountered problems. I suspect this is because I am using the same user account and they get confused.
Could you please explain, what kind of problems exactly you encountered? Error messages? Corrupted files? And why do you think the problem is caused by the same user profiles?
Like markwmsn I have no problem with sharing using the same account name on all my macs. Only since upgrading to Mt. Lion I usually use AirDrop to send single files. That saves the trouble to copy the files to a public folder.
Do both your macs support Air Drop?
