  • Why filtering by "unused" shows the files that are used in the project?

    Above the list of clips, I choose 'unused '.  I thought that this would be a practical way to show me the files I can delete the library because they are not used.  The thing is, I select this option, I see it shows me files that are certainly in use on the timeline, then what's the point of this?  How can I show actually files that are not used and as long as I can safely remove?

    It shows the unused portions of clips. If you want to remove a clip that has any items used in a project, you're better activation of the clipping indicator used. Any clip with an orange bar has been used.

  • Windows Media Player shows the library ghost

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I deleted everything in my music library, but Windows Media Player shows that I have several albums there. When I try to play songs, WMP says that they aren't there. When I try to delete them, nothing happens.

    Something seems to have gotten corrupted, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    You can erase the Media Player library altogether by the removal of the database

    Output Media Player

    Run services.msc and stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    In the box start the search menu, enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft , and delete the folder Media Player.

    Open Windows Media Player and it will recreate the database from scratch, so you will get the computer search for media files dialogue.

  • When you try to install Internet Explorer 9 in Vista, got code 80070017 error, SFC/Scannow shows the corrupted files that are not resolved

    I had a lot of trouble with my vista system (the most recent is an error code 80070017 when you try to install the update IE-9).  I ran sfc.exe/scannow and have a CBS file with several currupt files that are not fixed.  I'm over my head from the experience now.  Can someone help me?  Thank you!

    Original title: Vista files corrupt

    Try to run in safe mode.

    If there are files corrupted again after that, you can mount the image file .iso for the same version of Windows, you probably Vista SP2 - OR - put the disc in the drive.

    (Make sure same version x 86 or x 64 also!)

    Then use 7zip to look in the file \Sources\install.wim for files without a problem. Copy and paste from here directly on those on your HARD drive.

  • I can't delete some files from Windows Media Library

    I emptied on all downloads of music from my computer, but I am unable to get rid of titles and generic icons for in Windows Media Player (5000 of them). I tried all the remedies published without success.

    Is it possible to remove and reinstall Windows Media Player?

    Can anyone give me more information?

    Thank you

    Hi Trifolium Verde,

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem with Windows Media Player.

    Method 1

    You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears thetitles and generic icons

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

     

    Step 2

     

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

    3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    Method 2

    If the steps above do not resolve the problem, you can try to disable Windows Media player and then enable the feature that is as good as the uninstall and put it back. Follow the steps below to do the same.

    To enable or disable the window Media Player 12, follow these steps:

    1. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. expand Media features clear the check box next to the feature of Media Player, to remove media player. Click OK and restart the computer.

    3. turn on the media player again by selecting the check box next to the feature of Media Player.

  • Windows Media Center showing the gray screen (no picture but sound OK)

    Hi everyone, I had a problem with Windows Media Center for several weeks now: when I try to watch television, either recorded or live (from my tuner), WMC shows a square white gray but audio works fine. Trying to open the .wtv files in WMP has similar problems - presenting a black screen but with complete audio. Other files video (I tried .avi and .wmv) still work correctly. WMC was playing TV files without a problem until one day, it just stopped working. There wasn't that no updates not installed that startup and the system has been installed costs less than a week before the problem started.

    After spending a whole week looking for solutions online, there seem to be many people who have had this problem, but all have been fixed by different methods, and none of them seem to work here. I will list what I tried: installation and reinstallation of different codec packs, reinstall the WMC, uninstall and then reinstall all the Turners and the graphics drivers, setting the parameters within the WMC, graphics cards settings adjustment. I also tried to make a 'fresh' start (no extra service, just basic Microsoft services) to try and see if a particular service is causing the problem, but even in these conditions, the problem persists.

    I hope someone can help, if you need more information, let me know.

  • Filter to show only images that are within the project pro first itself offline?

    I tried to google I can think, all directions and results are always "how to add a link to the files offline in the first" so this isn't my problem.

    In After Effects, there is a trick very convenient to type "missing" in the search prompt in the project Panel, and it will show you precisely all assets being referenced by AE offline. I looking for this kind of feature in Premiere Pro CC 2014 (I don't have not yet went to CC2015 I'm nearing completion on an important project).

    The challenge that I face, it is a huge file (feature documentary) with literally thousands of assets which has many sequences that have endured many iterations. And even if I don't get a "media is offline" WARNING when I OPEN the file, I get a warning of "material offline is present in this export and will be encoded using the chart of media offline" whenever I have to export. I'm trying to see if there is a filter that will show me ONLY the offline files that are always reference by Premiere Pro so I can remove it, because throughout most of them are likely obsolete.

    Any help out there?
