Thanks for the reply. I’m trying it right now, however, I’m concerned with the amount of time it’s taking. I do a lot of news video, so I need to keep the time down. I’ll be tweaking the settings.

Are you aware of a program that will compress ProRes 422 to FLV?

[Chris Griffith]

Yes, right click on the sequence> media manager, or thru file>media manager no difference. I’m guessing I will end up moving it through finder. MM sure makes it easier because I have so many files and revisions it’s going to take a while. Can’t find a reason why MM would refuse to open.

[Chris Griffith]

Yeah, I’ve tried that. Like I said I did two projects exactly the same structure and format. No MM problems on the other one.

I was starting to think that it was because I have .psd linked files, but it worked out fine on the other project.

Something really goofy going on.

[Chris Griffith]

So now you see the reel cursor right? But since you had never seen it before, it didn’t exist right?

[Chris Griffith]

Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried selecting everything as well as nothing, and pretty much any combination. I also tried to just grab the sequence itself. No luck. Super frustrating, ideas?

Ok dude, go

File> Media Manager > (watch your mouse pointer)

In the time it takes to load the Media Manager menu, watch your mouse pointer turn briefly from an arrow, to a gray movie reel. It happens so quick you may not have noticed(I would include a screen capture of the movie reel icon, but I can’t catch it in time). But that’s not the issue. I was just pointing out that it acts like it’s going to load, but does not.

When I got to File> Media Manager> (only on this specific project) the media manager menu will not load at all. Thats what I’m asking about.

All I was saying is I use media manager a lot, and I know when I go to file> media manager> and the menu does not load there is a problem.

I don’t have any issues using media manager, just need to figure out why it will not load up, only on this one particular project.

[Chris Griffith]

The FCP movie reel icon. Like the hour glass in windows. Basically it acts like it’s going to open media manager, but nothing happens.

I can use media manager for any other project except this one. I tried all that other stuff because it works on every project except this one.

It’s not that I am using media manager improperly, it’s that it will not open at all on that specific project. i have been using FCP and media manger for years, and have never seen media manager not open.
