When dragging in folder from media browser, some clips missing?

I've noticed a strange problem where if I drag a folder with video clips in from the media browser, not all of the clips will make it into the project all of the time.
Whereas if I open up that folder and select all the media files individually, they all make it into the project.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency that I can see when I drag in a folder and not all the files therein make it into the project. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before? This must be a bug.
Currently using Premiere Pro CC 2014 - 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

Actually - technically all of these clips are in the project. See I have a lot of unlogged clips in my project. I'm having another editor log the clips on a different computer, then I'm bringing the logged clips back into the project, and then just double checking the file count of the original folder and the file count of the new folder to see that they match up.
Does this shed any more light? The fact it's not consistent is what is weird. Is it possible maybe the clips that are already in a project and in a sequence somewhere don't get imported?
Any thoughts on how I can make the process smoother given the work flow? Thanks.

  • IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

    iMovie 11  audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
    I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
    The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
    I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

    I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
    WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
    I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
    ...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
    It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
    This will require:
    A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
    1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
    2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
    3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too,  as they will be extremely helpful later.
    4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
    This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
    5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
    You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
    Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
    We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
    VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
    I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
    6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
    7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
    8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
    9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
    Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
    YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
    I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
    DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
    I hope this helped!

  • It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • IPhoto 9.6 (910.29) hangs when dragging a photo from events into a slideshow. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

    iPhoto 9.6 (910.29) hangs when dragging a photo from events into a slideshow. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on a Mac from 2011. I am trying to edit a slideshow that was already created. I can delete a photo but I cannot add drag any more photos into it. Please help, time is of the essence! I need to finish for my daughter's first birthday!
    Thanks,

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Video Podcast entries keep uploading wrong video from Media Browser

    This started about a week ago. I have iLife 08 that I am using iMovie and iWeb for a video podcast page, for which there are at least a dozen videos up. Last week I created a couple of video projects and shared them with the Media Browser. But now, every video entry I create is the first of the two videos I made in iLife, let's call it "Video 1". Now I am four videos later. When I export to my local disk, the correct videos load, but when I upload to Mobile Me, all of the entries since Video 1 was created show Video 1. I even deleted the video projects from iMovie.
    Is there some sort of way to refresh the cache on the Media Browser, or has anyone else had this issue?

    Still not working. I have to "Publish All To MobileMe" for it to work. It has something to do with how iMovie exports. For some reason all the files exported have the filename SIZESELECTION-INDEXNUMBER, so all of my movies are named medium, medium-1, medium-2, medium-3 and after the last patch was installed, all new pages only look at "medium" and ignore the number added at the end.
    But again, I don't have this problem with I publish to a local folder.

  • ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

    I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
    Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
    I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
    Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
    I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

    no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

  • Quicktime from Media Browser loads but controller not working

    I exported a film from iMovie HD to media browser. Dragged it in to iweb. the cursor works in iWeb. When I publish it, video shows, controller shows, BUT clicking the play does nothing. Only double clicking the image area works. no way to play, pause or adjust volume. Can you guys help?

    Wydor...... you are AWESOME! Thank you so much. That was it. An invisible layout was obscuring my controller. That really should be made known to iWeb users. Not everyone has their own Genius buddy like I do

  • Dragging image selection from iphoto browser Aperture hangs

    Wanting to change from IPhoto to Aperture for my Photo library and wanting to be a bit more organised i tried (as a test to begin with) dragging 50 images into a particular folder in Aperture 2.1.4 from the iphoto browser. At this time it has been working 5 hours. Activity Monitor shows a continuos but variable activity, i also see the importing indicator on Aperture indicating activity
    I suppose i can force Quit but will it destroy those photos but that would leave me with the question as to why its not working
    Len

    That's a good question. I just checked the camera and it does auto-rotate when I'm viewing images in the playback mode on the camera. Do you think that affects the import? I noticed that it makes two copies of all images beyond the first one imported. In other words, rotated or not, the first image I drag from iPhoto Browser will import as an Original (just one instance), yet the following ones will always be two images. I just drag from iPhoto Browser to the bottom panel of the Split View and I get two images.
    Thanks for your help,

  • GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

    Hello again,
    Another question...
    I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
    On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    Thanks!

    However, does this alter the source file at all
    no
    does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
    yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
    So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second

  • Slow access of photos from Media Browser

    I have a computer with a small iPhoto library. Under 800 photos. iPhoto launches quickly, and effortlessly. iWeb launches easily, but when I try to access the Photos from the Media brownser...things bog down. The spinning ball goes for a couple minutes, before showing me the photos, and regaining control of iWeb. This slowness happens also from Garage Band (when accesing photos via the Media brownser). I rebuilt my iPhoto library database, but this didn't help. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks John and Jim,
    Here's an update. I did not have iPhoto opened when launching iWeb. And the iMac Intel 20" has 1gig RAM.
    I first rebuilt the database in iPhoto...no help. I called applecare, and then first had me rebuilt the database (no help again). Then we created a new user, and the new user worked fine...no sluggishness in Media Browser. So we went back to the ailing user and removed the iPhoto prefs (no help)....then we removed ALL prefs (no help)...then they had me remove the entire user Library....and still no help. At this point, the 2nd level tech support said they didn't know the answer yet...and they are referring it to Engineering...and I should hear back in 2-3 days. I'm guessing they will have me backup, reformat, and reinstall from scratch...but we'll see.
    Thanks for your interest...

  • Most photos do not email or are empty when dragged to folder

    After I edit my photos in iphoto and email them to myself, usually large quantities, (50plus) at one time, only 2 actually emailed. Although my email said that 50 were successfully sent. I do large quantites at a time because I have shops on Etsy that I post them to. When this didn't work, I tried just dragging them directly from iphoto to folder on desktop, again, only two of the 50 were actually there, all the rest said - The file “DSCN8413.JPG” could not be opened because it is empty. How can it be empyt when it is there in iphoto, helppp!!!

    iPhoto may have lost the connection between your original photo image files and the edited versions and thumbnails. Try to rebuild your iPhoto Library - see Old Toad's post on how to do it:

  • Going from Media Browser to iDVD

    I've exported an iMovie via the Media Browser option.  When I launch iDVD how do I get it to use my Media Browser export?
    Mary Lou

    In iDVD click on Media button and then on Movies. It should be under Movies.
    Describe your workflow in steps, i.e. open iDVD, select theme, add media, etc......
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Error -50 when trying to share with media browser?

    I'm attempting to burn a dvd in idvd for the first time. When I click media browser under share in imovie 08, I'm fist told that there's missing media. A source clip is not available. Although I hear it (audio) in both the project and in the source material in the event library. I clicked continue and things started to move along then this warning came up UNABLE TO PREPARE PROJECT FOR PUBLISHING ERROR CODE-50.
    Please help.

    I'm using native.
    I did cancel all background rendering and exporting before I deleted the renders. I actually quit final cut before I did that, then restarted.
    I found that the crash was probably the result of a motion plug-in that I was using, but the speed of exporting is still way below what it was last week. I would still like to utilize that motion plug-in :/
