Media Offline CS4

Postby VernonRobinson » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:20 pm

I was working on my first Premiere Pro project using CS4. Everything was working well and I decided to burn the final DVD using Encore. I used ADOBE DYNAMIC LINK to Encore. Encore came up. I set a couple of button actions and told encore to Build. Encore failed to build citing a Transcode Error. Now when I open my original project, it says all of my media is offline. The media is on an internal harddrive and has not moved. Any ideas?

I tried opening one of the earlier backup files of the project and it exhibits the same behavior.

Thanks,
-Vernon

Where is this media located? Is it on your C or main drive or on a second or external drive?

It should ask you to locate them Vernon, did you do that?

It did not ask to find them. However, when I manually try to do it, it says the .m2t file is an invalid file type. I tried creating a new project thinking that maybe this one is corrupt. However, it still refuses to import the media. Also when I look in the rendered files there are none. All of the project subdirectories are empty. I will do a reinstall.

Just my point of view but I never used Dynamic Link in CS4 as it caused me some grief. Could have been a conflict with something else that I had installed - I don't know. So I always manually imported files into Encore with never a problem.

Whatever was causing that issue seems to have been resolved as Dynamic Link in CS5 works as it is supposed to.

John,
Thanks for the input. This is my first Premiere Pro project, so I was doing it by the book literally :) . Things were working well until I went to use Encore via the Dynamic Link. Then all of Encore became unstable. I lost access to my import presets. Premiere refused to import any of my media saying they were invalid file formats. I reinstalled the application and now I can at least export a file and the HDV presets are back. A also am back to version 4 instead of 4.2.1. Now I am concerned about allowing the machine to update to the latest version 4 release. I will give it a try after I finish this small project.

Regards,
-Vernon
