  • Media Manager won’t work

    Posted by Paul Jones on June 1, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    Looks like it a day ( night ) of problems
    I have just finished a project and media manager won’t work on any of my sequences.
    I want to backup to my external hard drive for safety.
    If I open and old project then it works fine it just seems to be on everything I have done today ??
    Help !

    Well, what SPECIFICALLY is it doing or not doing? Tough to figure out what is wrong without details.

    Quit. Restart your computer. Try again.

    If not…then try to open an Autosaved version of that project.

    Right click on any of the sequences I’ve done today and nothing happens
    Copy Edit to a new sequence, nothing,
    Copy everything to a new project, still nothing.
    Highlight everything in the timeline, click media manager and I get general error 34.
    Media manager works on all of my other projects

    The project settings are?

    The sequence settings are?

    Your raw material is?

    Your raw material is stored where?

    Trash Prefs, Repair Disc Permission, etc… haven’t worked?

    The project settings are = DV PAL

    The sequence settings are? =DV PAL

    Your raw material is? = A mixture of MPEGS all converted to DV PAL and stills ( tiff, jpeg & png )

    Your raw material is stored where? = Seperate hard disk in one folder

    Trash Prefs, Repair Disc Permission, etc… haven’t worked? = haven’t tried that yet, nervous about the project corrupting

    Trashing preferences won’t corrupt project. This is a standard fix.
