  • Bins won’t open!!!!

    Posted by Tim Young on July 6, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    I was moving some bins out of a folder (within the project folder) at a desktop level, and when I went back in to the application, I couldn’t open any of the bins that I moved. Where you see the size of the bin in the project window, there is now: “???”.

    Now, even at a desktop level, I can’t delete or move the bins in question.

    I’ve had to create a new project and find the bins in the attic and bring them in to the new project to continue working. The bins I tried to move will not open in the new project.

    Has anyone come across their Avid freaking out like this? Is there anything I can try to salvage the work I did this morning before the bins started playing up? Has the project corrupted or is it the bins?

    I found this happens when moving bins into a project folder when the project is open. I always move bins with project closed or Media Composer not running. There used to be a small utility that fixed this somehow. I need to see if I can track it down again. It’s been a while.

    If there is a utility to fix this, would be great to know.

    Thankfully all my rushes bins are ok, and I have re-created the seq I was working on from eyeballing the BITC on a DVD I ran off, so not lost too much.

    Next time I’ll only move bins with the app closed!

    Thanks,

    Tim
