"Selection contains no media" What happened??

“Selection contains no media”
This is a message I get often when I try to export from compressor 2.. There is media.. The way around it is to copy the selection and paste it into a new project...
Any ideas on what wrong??

This is typical symptom of sequence corruption in FCP. About the only thing you can do as an end user is create a fresh sequence, then copy and paste your clips over. However, you mention that you copy and pasted into a new project - so are we to understand that a new sequence in the existing project didn't work?
(To put your mind at ease, um, somewhat, this is an FCP issue, not a Compressor issue.)

  • Can't export to Compressor. "Selection contains no media"

    I get a message that says "selection contains no media", but there is clearly media on the timeline that plays fine in the viewer. Other projects export fine and using quicktime conversion to export works fine too.

    Interesting. Losing the in and out points on the timeline solved the problem, but now what if I wish to just send a segment to compressor and not the entire sequence?
    Exporting with in and out points works okay in other projects. I'm a bit confused.
    Is the sequence in question not in your main browser tab? If you're someone who likes to, say, option-click bins to open them in tabs behind the main project tab - I like to do this - then is a known issue when attempting the Export > Using Compressor workflow. (Sequences exported this way must be in the main tab, not in a floating tab or tab behind the main tab).
    I've never experienced this error in any other circumstance - I export Using Compressor all the time, with In and Out set, so that in-and-of itself isn't the exact cause...

    Your IN and OUT points are not set for in the sequence. Use your UP arrow to get to the start of the sequence and use 'I' to inset your IN and go to the end of sequence and mark with 'O'. All should be fine now with compressor.

  • Selection Contains no media Error?

    When exporting using Compressor from a time line in FCP I get a "selection contains no media" error.
    Any suggestions?

  • "Selection contains no media" ????

    This is the error message I get when I select "export to compressor" on ANY sequence in the browser for ANY project I open. Restarting FCP or the computer doesn't solve anything .. strangely I can still export uncompressed QT movies of any of these sequences, but I can't send anything out to compressor all of a sudden. Help!!! Thanks!!!

    Yep! When you create a quicktime movie your video is compressed.
    gig
    sorry to say gig, but what you say is NOT true.
    Quicktime itself is nothing else than a container.
    Depending on the settings you do or do not compress.
    Like I said: When you export with current settings, then actually nothing changes. You only make the movie available outside FCP.
    Even if you make a Reference Movie (=NOT selfcontained) then this Reference movie is a file that directly points to your orignal (or filtered and rendered) moviefiles.
    To go short: As long as you don't alter settings, Export Quiktime movie does not change your movie in any way.

  • Send to compressor: warning: "selection contains offline media"...

    "Do you wish to continue to export?"  I've isolated multiple sections of my timeline and it still says this.  I looked the timeline over and could find no media that appeared to be offline.  I played the the timeline.  I went ahead and compressed and it took a really long time for an 8 minute show.  I have yet to look at the results.  One other person wrote in with this problem with no answer given.

    I've had it, too.  Compressor and FCP X are still pretty buggy.  Report it.

    Hello there, gleab.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
    You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".

  • In mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options.  What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

    n mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options.  What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

    SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
    It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

  • Changing up what happens at the 'select resource - queued' step

    Greetings!
    So, I'm curious .. we'd like to change how we do things regarding what happens at the select resource - queued step. Our current state is a series of business checks, place the call on hold, play CUCM MOH, take the call off hold, go back to the queue loop and repeat.
    To change things up I'd like to play some royalty-free music as a prompt instead of putting the call on hold. I would use boolean flags to keep track of what prompts have played so callers do not hear the same wav file over and over and over.  So, I'm thinking of doing something like this ...
    At the queued step ..
    play a prompt
    begin the queue loop
         business check
         agent check
         play royalty-free (RF) music clip 1 (45 sec)
         play informational prompt 1 (15 sec)
         opt-out check
    go back to the queue loop
    2nd time through ..
         business check
         agent check
         play RF 2 (45 sec)
         play info 2 (15 sec
         opt-out check
    3rd time ...
         business check
         agent check
         play RF 3 (45 sec)
         play info 3 (6 sec)
         opt-out check
    4th time ...
         business check
         agent check
         play RF 4 (45 sec)
         play info 4 (6 sec)
         opt-out check
    And maybe one more time playing these types of prompts before we switch to placing the call on hold and playing CUCM MOH. Generally, most calls are answered before the five minute mark, however, we do have outliers who wait a very long time. Playing CUCM MOH might be the appropriate thing to do for those rare instances?
    I'm curious if anyone else has tried this and am hoping for some feedback?
    Thanks!
    Keith

    Hi
    There's nothing wrong with doing it that way. I've seen a few customers play music from prompts rather than holding; it's easier to maintain/change that way.

  • What happened to Adobe Media Encoder???

    Adobe Media Encoder has disappeared from the CC list of apps available, and I need to reinstall.  What happened to it? 

    I have Windows 7, HP elitebook 8560w laptop - my video drivers crashed,  which caused problems with any software that used them. So I've been uninstalling, and re-installing apps but Media Encoder is no longer in the list on my CC desktop app.
    I looked at my video box  (also win 7, an HP z820 tower, not a laptop)  and it's not on the list in the CC app for that one either.  That box is fine, no issues, and media encoder is installed, but it does not show up in the list of installed apps.
    Was there a change that does not let you install Media Encoder as a seperate app? Does it now only come with other CC video apps?
    thanks for your help!

  • What happens exactly during line selection

    Hi,
    What happens exactly during line selection of a report.
    I mean suppose I display 20 purchase orders with data in a list.When I select one line say I call ME23N.
    How will only that PO be called.
    What happens internally?
    Regards,
    Subhashini

    Each time you use HIDE statement, data are stored in special HIDE Area . The system inserts field name you are hiding together with its value. Current output line (SY-LINNO) is used to populate which index that entry will receive in Hide Area. That's
    why HIDE statement must be entered before beginning a new line.
    During line selection system variable SY-LILLI is read (index of selected line), then corresponding line in Hide Area is read and values are transported back to corresponding fields (data objects) you have hidden.
    What is also important is that each list (basic, detailed) has its own Hide Area, that's why you can even use HIDE when you are already in AT LINE-SELECTION event block, hence create subsequent detialed lists. This will fill new Hide Area of detailed list and so on.
    This topic is well discussed in BC405 course.
    Regards

    Basically, the computer thinks the music is 'lost'. Follow the prompts and try to locate it. It should navigate to the files and redraw the links which should make that pop up go away
