An easy way to re-import massive media after a hard disk crash if the library files are intact?

Hello

I'm running 10.2.3 on OS X 10.11.3 FCPX. My external hard drive just crashed, and while I was able to save most everything else (including library files, proxy support, etc.), Miss me about 90% of the media about 2 000 "original" files. Because the library files have been saved, it seems that my projects seem to be intact, including the cuts and changes. Since FCPX knows what files and parts of files were previously imported, import should be easy... except for the fact that there are about 1 800 distributed clips on dozens of camera archives.

Is there a way to 'massive re-import' office where he knows the clips came, without having to wade through thousands of clips in dozens of archives and manually by clicking on each of them? Because there is also the fact that, due to several archives of the camera used, different are multiple "Clip #1", "Clip #2", etc. that FCP is solved by adding a number at the end (for example, "Clip #1 (fcp1)" and "Clip #1 (fcp2)"). " I'm afraid that if I import everything in disorder (maybe I not initially import a clip, but returned later and get it), I'll have to sift through to find a needle in a haystack and rename the files manually.

Even if I have to specify the locations of these archives of tens of couple, it would be so much easier than having to go into each of them and click 1 800 files manually... Any suggestions?

Please and thank you!

Too bad. I had assumed the import > reimportation of the camera wasn't working, but apparently because I had saved the AVCHD archives on my hard drive via the Finder instead of 'Create the Archives' of in Final Cut, he just didn't see them. Creating new archives of these same AVCHD files (or rather the folders 'PRIVATE' which originally housed them on the SD card) did the trick and I was able to reimport. Alternatively, I could have re-recorded these SD cards PRIVATE folders and it would have identified those as the original 'camera' once again, too and I could have reimported it... but who would be tedious.

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

  • Project imported from another computer, the audio files are jumping or any waveform?

    Hey everybody,

    I import a project from another version to date of first Pro CC 2014, it was working fine on another computer but on import some audio in the order and in the source monitor are jump or play just back all choppy as a bad CD. Some audio in the Control Panel Assembly have no waveform. I tried to replace some, that works, but there are a LOT of audio to replace and I'm not 100% sure those who read evil or of the previous editor.

    I visited, re-rendering, clear cache and it always does. I'm not sure what is the problem. Also sometimes when I try to make the entire project for the preview, it gives me 'cannot compile the film' unknown error.

    Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Pense thought to it, here's what I did in the case where someone has a similar problem - had to remove manually everything in the 'Clean' media Cache files did not really work. Am entered and removed everything for re - conform files, worked for some files, but not all. Turns out that on the other drive, there were some PEK and CFA project hidden files in this local disk. I searched .cfa files both .pek and all removed so first can regenerate new ones.  Things work now

  • Need recovery (after the HARD disk crash) media - Alienware X 51

    My son X 51 HDD crashed and the recovery of Windows partition is not start.  We have never made recovery discs.  To make things worse, his CD/DVD Player did not long since a CD is stuck inside. We can try another CD/DVD drive, but that for now, the biggest problem is that we do not have any what recovery media.  We have a new drive hard and now just need a way to start and get back to it.

    Is there a way to create media (DVD or USB) after the fact the drive recovery HARD crash?

    You can ask the recovery media on this Web site if you are located within the us, or Canada or contact the technical support of the site in your sons of the country, they can send you the USB key.

  • Hard Drive Setup for the source files, media Cache, project, Render, etc...

    I am working to put in place the following readers:

    C: SSD for the OS and programs

    D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for projects from first, where I did too, and still

    E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for the source files, hiding from media and preview the files (if I can get the controllers/SATA III RAID Marvel that is)

    External HD USB 3.0 for backup projects

    Should I make this different?

    Anyone think it would be better to use the SDD discs instead of hard drives? I have

    Please confirm that it is correct:

    C: SSD for:

    • Operating system and programs
    • No pagefile

    D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for:

    • No pagefile
    • First project
    • Source files of project first (suggestion by evil)
    • Project yet

    E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for:

    • Swap file (install first, 12 GB since I have 24GO RAM)
    • Media cache
    • Preview files
    • Rendering of the project (e.g., DVD MPEG2, H.264, etc.) / source files of project yet

    Fix.

    When I finish my PR projects, I use DVD - HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator to determine the parameters of flow and export to DVD MPEG2 or H.264 - BR according to my delivery format, but also because I always export sound instead of AC3 5.1 2.0. I only make my chapter points in Encore and not worth trying it in the PR, due to the limitations of long GOP. Again these same limitations, but I prefer to do it in yet, because then I can easily adapt and make the poster frames for my taste.

    In my workflow, so I have my source media and the project on the D drive and export the MPEG2-DVD, or H.264 - BR in drive E. open the project again from my D drive, and then import the assets on my E drive.

    Reminder I export the image file and then use Nero to make multiple copies, because with Nero I can use multiple burners, creating 50 copies goes two times faster with two burners or even 4 times faster with four burners.

    Song ghost Vista Windows Media Player 11 error

    I have Windows Media Player 11 on a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 on it, and I have a problem with that I can not resolve at all. There's a song that is on my reading list that does not even exist. He has no title, author or album. No size file and it does not even exist on my computer at all. No matter how I try I can not remove it from the selection. I know that I can not uninstall and reinstall WMP11 from my system it is a program integrated with no option to do so, but because of this I see also very troublesome that a reinstall is the only thing I can think of now to remove it.

    If anyone has any suggests how to uninstall this "ghost song", I'd be happy to try.

  • Media Center: Will not add folders to the library

    For about a week now through yesterday morning, I had several video files put in place in Media Center: specifically, two folders on local and network disks several (five or six) on records.

    Last night, I went to the video library in Media Center, and it was completely empty. Records and all video files are always accessible through the browser and the network as needed, so I go to Media Center and re-add the same folders. Return to the video library. It is empty. I will go back to the library settings and all defined records are previously selected is no longer! So I go through and add them back. Only to make them all disappear.

    I do this several times, including the second to the last test where I waited in circles and looked at the gauge progress and a total number of 300 + video files displayed. But the library is still empty and not setup all files as added!

    So my last try: I remove all other music and image files and add just a video file. And still no videos!

    I already rebooted once and now I am at a complete loss as to what could be the problem. The files are a mix of .avi (xvid, for the most part), .mkv and .ts who worked before this question last night.

    I said that I should leave the Media Centre, stop the windows media player network service, and then remove windows media player db file. I did all this, restarted the service and then media center, added a video file and guess what? Still no file (or folder) in my Media Center video library.

    What is happening here!

    Edited to add:

    Well, I did a few experiences more.

    In Windows Media PLAYER, I wasn't able to add folder to library video (via organize) it is. However, I was able to add folders to the library in Windows Explorer. I could then drag and drop the Windows Explorer video library in WMP. However, none of this has changed the fact that the video library in Media Center remains empty and I can not add ALL the video files via the parameters.

    In the meantime, I have two choices, I can browse my multimedia files via WMP which is not half bad but I prefer reading via Media Center. so... currently, I navigate through Explorer Windows and Media Center set as default player for all types of video file in the video library of the Explorer.

    However, I would really like this work all through (some) Media Center :)

    I wonder if there might be a corruption of the current library which is not resolved by simply removing the CurrentDatabase_ # .wmdb as suggested earlier.  You see the question even if you plan to display this content in Windows Media Player as well?  If so, in Windows 7, there is an option to rebuild the library.  This is done through Windows Media Player tools > advanced > restore library... menu (an open area along the top or bottom of the drive to find this right click menu).

    Thank you

  • When I import TIF and JPG with the same metadata files, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change this?

    I imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata about the date and time of the recording. Only TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. So I in 13 Finder e. g. image files in the same folder where Lightroom is only 10 files. Ideas for the resolution of welcome!

    Thank you

    Disable the option Preferences > General > process files Next To Raw files as separate Photos JPEG.  Then again an import.  It appears that, in this case, LR consider a TIFF image to a file "gross".

  • Could someone explain/link me to a forum that explains why the CR2 files are pink when they are imported?

    I'm new to Cannon and when I shot raw, I didn't believe that I would have a question, get the images on my computer. However, when I imported using a converter, they come out of rose! I turned monochromatic and using a Mark iii if it makes a difference. I did not really find a clear answer. I'm sure it's something simple, I don't get but since I'm used to Nikon, I don't understand and can't seem to find anything to explain it. I really appreciate it!

    What software do you use to view your Raw file? If this isn't Canon DPP, it cannot make your Raw in B & W because the third-party software cannot read the camera settings. If the whole picture is pink, you may have a corrupt monitor profiles. Nikon or canon is not serious in this case.

  • New Macbook pro with new Lightroom 5 CC will not import pictures.  Can't read.  Lightroom on the phone people are unable to understand.

    I could not import new images into Lightroom 5 on a brand new Macbook Pro.  Lightroom 4 works fine, but the new Creative Cloud Lightroom 5 says that the images are unreadable.  The folks at Adobe have yet to be able to understand by phone and I find myself waiting for too long.  The images will be important in IPhoto so no problem. All are of the FIRST.

    You must check in the Finder using get info (command-I). Make sure that the destination you set in Lightroom has permission to write to you. Also check that the destination is really in the right place and not trying to write to a folder root on your main hard drive or something like double.
