Media Manager weirdness

	Media Manager weirdness by Don Wilson on Nov 5, 2009 at 10:43:58 pm Greetings all, Hope all are well and Bob is happy and relaxed in sunny Florida!! I am using FCP7 and have encountered a weird possible bug when trying to Media Manage a project. We are trying to copy the entire project to another raid set so it can work on another system. This project has multiclips and crashes the system when we try to copy it. Removing the multiclips solves the problem. Will have to re-create them in the new copied project I guess. Anyone know of this as a bug or is it a rule I'm just not aware of?

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Don Wilson on Nov 5, 2009 at 11:44:48 pm This is a project that the "artist' ingested himself. There are multiple clips with the same friggin' name, i.e. "Clip 1". I spent lots of time doing just what you said and found there was no logical way to define which of the four or five similar named clips to reconnect to. Found that by copying the project, sequences and all, it popped up just fine. Now after making multiclips in the newly copied projects and wanting to spread the workload to another editor, found this issue. I was able to leave the original project open, copy the multiclips from the original project into the new one and then move the drives to the new machine. Still seems like a glitch though. Thank god for the "rename file to match clip" in FCP. Avid woefully lacks here.

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Chad Brewer on Nov 6, 2009 at 5:19:51 am Jeremy is lying to you about his love for having many clips named as "clip 1." That's too easy for him. His favorite clips start with things like "0027J7." That is why he has a great tutorial on the COW about workflows to circumvent the labor involved in such cases. Check it out! I have no link to it right now. He will provide. chad www.televersions.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Chad Brewer on Nov 6, 2009 at 5:45:48 am I'm sorry. Jeremy's tutorial is about native MXF editing - probably not applicable for the problem discussed. I will stop posting until I am in crisis mode. Jeremy will want to kill me. I will buy him lunch. We both happen to eat lunch. I can find him. chad www.televersions.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Don Wilson on Nov 6, 2009 at 5:54:15 am Oh, I've been down the MFX dark path for years. It's a love/hate thing for sure. Anyone any idea about the Media Manager crash with multiclips included?

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Chad Brewer on Nov 6, 2009 at 6:03:32 am Jeremy's your man on this. He'll respond while brewing his morning coffee. Stay tuned for his response. Damnit, I posted again! I need to leave these things to the trained professionals! chad www.televersions.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Media Manager weirdness by Joseph Owens on Nov 6, 2009 at 5:36:54 pm Ah, well, it ain't popularly referred to as "Media Mangler" for nothing. You should see what it does to projects that are assemblies of COLOR-rendered with helpful names like 1_g1.mov-1-2-2-v.mov But so far, my favourite show on TV is Untitled. jPo This IS my blog!
