Some images in timeline are white, with "media offline" message in canvas

I am making a short movie of images taken on my Canon powershot S5 camera. I am importing photos and movie clips from this digital still camera. They appeared correctly on the timeline at first. I rendered them and they played fine on the canvas. Then after saving project and opening later, some of the images appeared white with the "media offline" message in the canvas. I tried locating a few of them and reconnecting which solved the problem. However, strange things are happening: when I click on the white images they turn black but still play OK. Also some of the pale blue images have the "media offline" message, others do not, or the same sequence in an earlier saved version plays with no problem.
If I burn a DVD of this movie (so far incomplete) will it look OK if all appears well in the canvas, regardless of the colour of the clips in the timeline, or should I take some action first to "clean up' the timeline before proceeding? In other words, is the image in the canvas a true representation of how the final project will look?
I would appreciate some advice please as I am a bit confused by this. Thank you. Keith

JPEG photos don't need converting.
In FCE simply select File>Import and navigate to your photos.
Have you trashed your Thumbnail Cache folder yet as that will probably cure it?
They can be in a couple of places. By default FCE puts one lot in User>Documents>Final Cut Express Documents.
If you have specified an external scratch disk they will also be there, so look in FCE>System Settings>Scratch Disks to find out where you put them.
Once trashed, on relaunching FCE new ones are created.

    After i have connected everything (sat (OPT OUT) to sb (OTP IN) and sb to speakers) it works great as stereo but when i turn on AC3 (when watching channel which supports it) on my satelite reci'ver i can't hear any sound
    In " Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info" topic i've founded chatper about decoding AC3 with Sound Blaster. "2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster." It is a little different explamle then my, so please can anybody tell me, how to do it ? How to set SB settings ? Should i download some additional software that will must be runing when watching TV (I dont know maybe there is something like "acti've decoder of AC3"). Maybe it it not possible at all

    Best regards Arek.
    P.S. 5. sound works, when watching DVD or avi movies with AC3 filter

    with X-fi Xtreme Audio it is not possible to decode DD from spdif-in

  • AME encodes queue with "Media Offline" screen

    Hi, sometimes AME encodes files with media offline screen, even though the files exist, while im batch encoding a bunch of videos. im wondering what i could do about that, or if there is any way to make AME postpone encoding a video that has any media offline? it is annoying because i wake up after leaving the thing on to encode overnight and find that some of the files have not encoded properly and have to reencode them. also it annoying because i cant trust that they will come out right and have to check every single file, frame by frame..
    thanks in advance

    In AME preferences, uncheck the beckbox named "Import Sequences natively" and let us know if that works.
    Unlike PPro, AME doesn't do media relinking so that could be one of the potential causes for this problem.
    Another cause could be that you installed plugins in PPro that you didn't put in AME plugins folder.
    Anyhow, please try unchecking that checkbox and let us know more details about your workflow - like what plugins you are using, what codecs are in your sources, what effects you are using, etc.
    Also, if you don't want to encode media offline, there is a checkbox in preferences called "Don't encode sources containing offline media"

  • 'Media offline' message in timeline

    I just finished a project and successfully burned to DVD with success on TV viewing. I went back to make minor changes to the 'movie menu' and now find that a 'media offline' message appears at several locations in many languages. what happened??
    thanks...

    The only time you are free of the hard drive save location and project connection is if you archive the project. Then you save a copies of the project.prel file and its associated media to a Copied or Trimmed Folder on the hard drive. Then you can move the hard drive saved media that is specific to that project  wherever you want. (But, be on guard that the media are not being used in several projects.)
    But, if you do not archive the project, all you have are copies of the originals in Project Assets and they must trace back to originals at the orginals hard drive save location (where they were when they were first imported into the project which you just saved closed).
    Please let me know if I explained that OK.
    Thanks.

    Your ISP can only determine that their equipment is responding to ping requests. They can determine nothing about your equipment or if theirs is communicating with it.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable that comes from their equipment and connect it directly to a computer instead of the Extreme. If you can load web pages, it means your Internet connection is working. If not, it's not.
    Is your ISP supplying cable Internet? Sometimes it is necessary to reset your ISP's connection by disconnecting their coaxial cable that connects to their modem. Literally unscrew it and leave it detached for a minute or so, then screw it back in again and power up the modem. They call this a "full reset". I don't know how it differs from simply powering down the modem, but I have confirmed that on rare occasions doing this will reset a recalcitrant connection.
    ... however the internet bars are present on the desktop and also indicated I was connected to the internet. 
    The Wi-Fi icon "bars" show that a connection to a wireless network has been established. It conveys no information about an Internet connection that lies beyond your local network. Option-click that menu and select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..." Authenticate with your Admin name and password and click the Continue button.

  • Thumbnails are all reading Media offline - and they all play fine

    Hello all,
    My firewire 800 drive dismounted when I attached an additional firewire drive onto the chain. As a result Final Cut froze. I had to to do a hard reboot because my entire machine froze up.
    I finally restarted Final Cut and when I did, my thumbnails images which IU was ussing to select my B-roll showed the red Media Offline Icon for each piece of media.
    The footage is on the drive and plays fine. I cannot proceed with my project if I those Icons are unavailable
    Thank you,

    After you follow Shane's suggestion, write yourself a big note and attach it to all your firewire drives. It should say -
    "Do I feel lucky today? If not, shut down the computer before plugging and unplugging drives."
    Yes, the specification for firewire suggests it should be hot swapable, but the reality of daily use, loose connectors, old or variable power supplies, and so on, can wreck havoc. Fried firewire ports, corrupted systems, scrambled data, and bad hair are only a few of the horrors that await you if you continue down this path.

  • Some of my photos are white....

    I just updated to iOS 7 as did my Fiance and a friend of ours.  Why are some of the pics we take showing up white on our iphones under the photos app?  When we sync our phones to our computers, the photos come out fine so it isnt too much flash, and the picture is evidently there, but the iphone cant seem to show it.  However this doesnt happen for all of my pics.  Only a select few.  And it does happen on the iPad as well.
    Thanks!
    Brian

    Hey there bcools,
    It sounds like you are getting some unexpected behaviour from the photos app. I have a few recommendations for what you are seeing. First close all the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone then test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • Some emails I send are arriving with attachments but with no text in the body of the message. In the sent box my emails look OK. So it took me a while to know this was happening.

    I have an Apple Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 with a 2.7 GHZ Intel Core 15 Processor. 8GB Memory.
    Just discovered that some emails I have sent with attachments have arrived with the attachments OK but my message has disappeared from the email. In the Sent box, the email looks OK with message intact. Has anyone else experienced this? No idea what to do.

    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum.
    In the received message does the subject appear correctly?
    Is just the body message field blank?
    What app is the recipient using?
    Can they try another pp?
    Is there anything strange in the body? Like special characters?

  • My icons on my desktop are white with an @ sign in them. How do I get the originals back?

    I have 2 questions:
    1.     How do I find out how much usable memory I have Left on my computer?
    2.     The icon on my desktop have a @ in them how do I get the original back?

    1. Open a Finder window and it will tell you how much free space you have on your hard drive - which I presume is what are referring to, memory is RAM.
    2. Try repairing permissions, then restarting.

  • Some SBS 2011 users having issues with s/mime messages containing attachments

    We have a contact from the outside world who is obligated to send emails that have attachments as S/mime. Whenever he sends the Executive Staff here an email containing (let's say) a Microsoft Office file, they instead get an attachment named smime.p7m that
    contains a winmail.dat file or instead just get a winmail.dat file attached instead.
    As someone with administrative rights (and I think that's what the deciding factor is), if he sends me the same email and I open it in my client of choice (Eudora in this case), I get the attachment he wants received and also a smime.p7m file with certificate
    information in it. However, if he sends the email with me as a cc: to one of the other users, instead of recipient, I only see what the other user sees.
    If I go into OWA as any of the affected users, it takes a bit of maneuvering (in that I have to click on a dialog that reads "This type of message isn't fully supported in Conversation mode.
    Click here to open the full version, which may show you more details or features"), but I can eventually get to the attachment once the full version pane opens.
    If get into Outlook 2010 as the user "Journaling", I can open the copy that Journaling's mailbox receives and see the attachment just fine too.
    I honestly have no clue what the problem might be, and would be very grateful for any help.

    Hi ,

  • I got the iPad 2 for Christmas 32gb and for some reason it did not come with the green messages app. Is there any way to get this on my iPad or am I out of luck?

    Ipad2 came without messages app. Please help me in figuring out why! :)

    What version of iOS have you get (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Messages was introduced with iOS 5, so if you aren't on that then you can update to it and you should get the Messages app.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTnnes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • Getting "Media Offline" After Archived Project to HDD to Another Computer

    Hello,
    How do you avoid getting media offline when transferring a project to another computer's C drive?
    I use PrE9 and decided to transfer my project to another computer for performance purposes. I archived the project (copy, not trim) to an external hard drive first, making sure to synchronize the drive letters of the HDD in both old/new computers beforehand. Working from the external drive is fine -- no media offline issues -- but I wanted to transfer the archived project to my new computer's C drive. After doing so, the project is now riddled with media offline messages. I'd rather not deal with the clips individually as there are too many.
    What step(s) am I missing? I'm sure it's easy, but this amateur has a lot to learn.

    Well, when one changes the drive letter (or any part of the Absolute Path) with linked media, the first time that the Project has been Opened, those links will be broken. PrE should give you the dialog screen, asking "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into much more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=0
    There are also some tid-bits in these articles, that might be helpful:
