Freaky Sequence issue

[Daniel Schultz]

When I did an XML export, then imported the XML into a new project, the timeline that came up had all the clips offline. The original timeline is all connected fine.

But at least the clip names are correct.
But then when I try to reconnect the media, I get wonky error messages, but I click “ok” anyhow.
Sometimes it reconnects properly, and other times it comes in out of sync.

Should I just rebuild the @#$@ timeline to be safe?
Proabably 2 hours work. Deadline: Project due tomorrow morning.Yow!

What aspects of this project are due? The final video? Or is an EDL or XML needed too?

Then there is nothing to worry about. Export the video…you are fine.

Except the old sequence (with the wrong names) was incorrect and wonky.

And the new XML export/import sequence has offline media, and doen’t seem to want to reconnect properly.

Make sense?

In what way?

[Daniel Schultz] ”

Why are you doing this?

[Daniel Schultz] “Make sense?”

WHy it doesn’t work? yes. Why you are doing it…no.

I am 95% finished with this job that needs to be done tomorrow.
THat’s when the sequence naming bug happened.
So I just want to get back to where I was a few hours ago before this bug happened so I can finish the job and deliver it.

The question is:
1. Do I try to make it work with the XML timeline that seems to be problematic?
2. Or just rebuild the timline to where I was earlier in the day, then finish off the job.

Yes???

Okay…I might have solved it.

I went to the autosave vault and got a recent version, opened the timeline (that was named wrong, but the clips are named correctly), then copy and pasted clips into a new timeline with correct settings.

So far so good!!

Thanks for your patience, Shane!
