Video thumbs became icons and won't play in preview of Bridge

I started a new project in Premiere Pro 6.  I'm not sure if it is relevant, but one thing I did differently on a new project was change the DV to HDV, the only time I've done that.
Then when I was importing by dragging from CS6 Bridge a bunch of videos, it looked like they were disappearing, or being moved instead of copied, so I terminated and started over.  But after that some thumbnails switched icons and won't play in CS6 preview, though they do when clicked to open in media player.
I think when I finished the video and was starting to export, that a window came up and said dynamic link fail or something.  I'd never seen before. Back in CS6, I went to a backup disk and copied the video files that here had thumbs, and copied to the folder with the icons.  They had the same number code, but had text in front on the originals.  Once I compared to make sure all thumbs and icons were represented, I deleted the icons, and then renamed the thumbs according to my current naming system, so they were just like the replaced ones.
I had exported to queue, and now ran the queue.  I got the dynamic link error again, and when I looked back in CS6, the replaced thumbs had become icons like before.  Since I still had the window with the other backup disk open, I copied those.  But this time, even though they lacked the text in front of them, they arrived as icons instead of thumbs also. I thinkperhaps it is because PP can recognize that they are the same files even though they have different name.  Because when I have changed the names of files that are already in a video sequence, and PP asks where the file is, and I indicate the file, it accepts it with the new name, though the old one still shows in the sequence, and doesn't need to be redone when reopened. 
The icons, when in PP do play as normal and the export went normally.  But  the icons won't play in the Bridge preview, and now it seems I can't get back thumbs at all.

  • Downloaded movie from iTunes is under video icon and won't play can it br moved

    Bought transformers movie from iTunes it is under my videos icon when I hit play the screen stays black even though the frame looks like the movie is playing what's wrong?

    Quit the video app and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Launch the video app again and see what happens.
    If that doesn't work - go to the home screen again and swipe to the right to bring up the search feature. Type the name of the movie in the search field at the top. If the movie shows up in the search - tap on the icon and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a couple of minutes and tap done. go back to the video app and see if the movie appears there. If so you should be able to play it from there.
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad and launch the video app again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Hi Ann, Hi JSW,
    I looked around a bit and noticed that this same problem sometimes happens in iMovie itself. People lose their media because it gets copied inside the project file itself. If you right click to see the package contents, you might be able to locate the media and copy it to a dedicated folder, then reconnect media to it in Premiere Pro. See this post on the apple website: Source clip missing | Apple Support Communities
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • My ipod touch now skips songs I bought from itunes (only the ones from 2013 to now) and won't play them. How do I fix this?

    Hey folks! My iPod Touch now skips songs I bought from iTunes (but only the songs I have purchased since 2013) and won't play them. What do I do?

    First try deleting the songs and redownloading them
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

    Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV.  This is the extended desktop mode.

  • Ipod songs showing up grey and won't play

    I have recently added some cd's on to iTunes. The songs show up normal in my itunes library and will play, but then when I go to them on my iPod library they show up grey and have a sync sign next to them. Most of them don't even show up on my ipod, but some do and they are just grey and won't play. I have tried re-downloading the cd's, right clicking on the songs, and pretty much anything I can think of. How do I fix this?

    Couple questions for you.
    Are you using the Wi-Fi sync feature?
    Are you on the latest firmware?
    What I would try doing is, if your using the Wi-Fi sync feature turn that off and sync with the cable that was provided with the iPod. 
    If you are already doing that I would try going into settings > general > reset all settings
    if that doesnt work, then the last thing I would try is restoring your iPod to factory after backing everything up and trying to sync once more. 
    Let me know if this helps you out at all!

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

  • I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it

    Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in.  I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working.  It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Garageband - "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011). Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play.

    Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play. Ive worked so hard on this and I don't know how to fix it. I am not very skilled or knowledgable in computers and barely know how to operate Garageband as it is. I have many different tracks in this song for different drums and beats. Please someone tell me how to fix this, I'm not even finished it! And again I am not very informed on how to work computers as well as most of you are, just saying. thanks!!!
    P.S.: In my about this mac thing, it says i have version 10.9.1, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and Memory is 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    Could you do this?
    Go to Finder
    Go to Applications
    Go to Utilities folder
    Launch Activity Monitor app
    go to its Memory tab on top
    tell us what you see at the very bottom?
    Here is a sample of mine.
    I bet your page/swap amount will be huge.
    If there is not enough RAM, OS X temporarily stores RAM data on the harddrive and tries to retrieve it back into RAM when needed, unfortunately that is so slow that GB throws an error as it cannot play it all in real time.
