So the office server where all the maps were stored has been replaced with a new setup, and different file path..
Now I know how to re-link bitmaps within a max file using the superb 'relink bitmaps' script.. But what about relinking the maps within the material library?
I am a long time canon shooter and I have always been ok with the CR2 format.My catalog recently started growing rapidly (100.000+), and I found myself convinced by the usefulness of the DNG format.Hence, I downloaded the Adobe DNG converter and started converting alot of folders pictures, happy to see my a bit of load taken off my disks.After converting a good deal of my pictures, I started what I thought would be a simple re-linking of meedia as I am used to from Pr and Ae.I get the message from lightroom that the photos cannot be found.
I get minor panic attacks at the mere possibility of no being able to relink my directories and this loosing my edits..Most of the original CR2 have been deleted.Conversion was done using Lossless settings while NOT embedding the original CR2 file (as this would pretty much defy the purpose of converting for space)
I have successfully made 20 AVCHD disks in the past 3 months with mp4 format and now have issues. New problem(s):
When I go to create a video file, I choose MPEG4 - HD. I typically have 20-25 minutes of vidoes (720 and 1080), pictures, sound, and crossfade transitions. It renders through the 99% but no new file is created. In addition, I have noticed two other issues/items which could be related. One, the mp3 audio files have a yellow icon and this error appears "Original file [et theme.mp3] doesn't exist.". Two, the video file thumbnails in the Library now have two icons; the normal one identifying it as a video and now a second icon that looks like two.
In InDesign if i move my folder with images just by re-linking one image of the folder ALL will be linke at once by their names. In Illustrator i have to re-link manually one by one. Am i doing something wrong? Should i have some command selected? Can i do it through a plugin?

I'm on a mac, os x 10.6.8. and I copied the script into the script preset folder so its starting from the drop down menu. Don't think I'm leaving anything out. I'm swapping 1 placed(linked) PDF for another.
I manage a design department where we're constantly working with documents that have multiple placed and embedded images in each. As an example, we often have 10 instances each of 4 different images in a given document. These links are constantly changing and being updated on a per-client basis. My concern is that my designers waste a lot of time relinking these embedded graphics as the software prompts the user to relink each one individually. If the designer needs to replace 10 of the linked graphics with, say, "Royal Mahogany", they have to select all 10, select the relink option and specify the file they want to replace the graphic with by clicking on and placing the selected file for each instance of the graphic. So if they're replacing the links of 10 images, they have to select and place the desired file 10 times. Is there any way to select multiple placed images and replace them all at once? Note that the images we place into the file are stored in multiple locations on server, subdivided by material, manufacturer, color, finish etc.

I am not able to see the photos that were previously in my collection sets. I see the blank images and the editing icons but no actual images, The photos are in the catalog. How can I relink them to my catalog?
I did a project in SMK2013 in trial mode on an iMac. Mostly unmanaged media - links to ProRes Qts from Resolve. Sadly, I forgot to archive it before the 30 day trial expired.
I just installed 2013 on my main Mac Pro, and it's all licensed, and good to go - beware of a licensing issue with OS 10.8, by the way... (I'll write another post about that.)
I copied all of the linked source media to the new system, and using the MediaHub, I can see the projects on the iMac (even though I can't launch the app anymore), so my plan was to bring the sequences and rendered files over via Wire, then re-link to the ProRes source media on the licensed system. Easy, right?
I can copy the sequences over just fine, but in the conform tab - I can't get any of the Resolve files to relink. I've unlinked the shots, and set the file path straight to the prores media folder - the only thing different is the name of the drive it's linked to.
any column I choose to match - every file turns red. I've double checked the file names, the timecodes, etc... Everything matches up exactly, and yet it never finds a match, showing a conflict in every field I try to use as a match.
I thought i might have better luck if the media folder was imported into the project, and then manually set that folder a conform search location - but I crash every time i've tried that.

I unarchived a 2013 Linux sequence.
I took all of the clips an unlinked them in 2013 Mac.
I then gathered the source material on to a new USB portable drive. I then went through a conform and relinked all fo the clips that aren't in a CFX.
I can't see how to relink or get the clips inside the CFX show up.
I dragged the clips from the Sources folder, and collected them into a new folder in my Media Library.
If I collect those "checkerboard" clips into a new sequence and look at it via the Conform tab, it shows that the clips are Linked, as parts of them were also in the main timeline.

I have been working with some illustrator files for a while and all of a sudden I cannot open them anymore. I do not even get an error message. I tried opening them on another computer. They open, but then when I order to re-link the images, the file just shuts down. The files are quite large, but even when I make them smaller (smaller then when they were before this problem started), I still cannot open them. I thought it might be related to the images, but also older files with no new images have the same problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have thousands of files that contain linked images. These files exist in multiple locations and are kept in sync by dfs replication. Since illustrator uses unc path for links, the links that were created are slow to open for users at other locations and we would like to batch relink these files to a dfs namespace or unc path that better serves more users. I have already tested replacing the path in the files via find and replace using notepad but the link does not change when actually opened.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I first started using LR, I converted several folders full of CR2s that had been imported into LR to .dng using the stand-alone DNG Converter and then used the OSX Finder to move those folders to my archive drives. (For those beginners following along - don't do this!!)
Â
I want to re-link LR to those files but find that I need to do the relink routine one file at a time (instead of being able to use the "find nearby missing photos") because LR is looking for an exact match of filename + extension instead of just filename. The problem is that the files on the archve drive have a .dng extension and LR is looking for a .CR2 extension.
Â
Is there a way of having LR look for just the filename? Perhaps a script of some sort?
Â
3000 files to relink - one at a time is not a happy prospect.

(Of course, now I do everything from within LR. Live and learn!)

I've got a project which has had all it's files relocated to a different location. The first time I opened the project I sucesfully relinked everything and it ran smoothly. Now if I open the project or any previous version of it, premiere tells me that all the files are 'PROCESSING...' and show the question mark logo beside them in the media browser. (when I open the project Premiere doesn't notify me that the files are offline)
Â
When I try to relink the files through the media browser panel they all say 'PROCESSING...', as soon as I click OK after locating the file the Apple spinning wheel of death appears and the program becomes non respondant and needs to be force quit.
Â
I've tried opening previous versions of the project, importing the project into a new blank project and restarting the computer...nothing works!

I'm running a 13" MBP quad core i5 with most recent version of Mountain Lion (haven't updated to Mavricks as I think i'd have more problems if I did!) and the most recent version of Premiere CC.
I created a derived part and I broken the link with its parent. Is there a way to relink the two parts?

Is there a way to foce relink a clip when conforming an xml?
I have an xml based on 5d footage with no clip names that I need to relinked to graded dpx files. Using clip name and TC isn't working since the xml is looking for .mov etension. Using TC alone dosent work because each of the 5d clips start at :00.
How I can reload my media when it is updated on server. Imagine I conformed and few shots got graded and I have to reload them. I just look for a simple trick to reload my media and see the update version on my timeline.

I have a script using the dynamic content plugin from illustrator which takes and XML file and replaces it with a new one. All linked text/symbol/image links have their paths updated or text content updated.
Â
The problem I have is I have background images which are not dynamic so I need to relink these based on their file path.
Â
We have two shares, an OPI & an FPO, because of the size of backgrounf images we keep the FPO links in whilst artworking.
Â
What I'd like to do is relink all images if they contain FPO in their file path, I'm in CS5.1. I had a look and found CS6 has a .relink method but obviosuly this is no use to me in CS5.1
I know you can in InDesign but doesn't look like it in Illustrator.

Ok, so it seems that Smoke can only relink one file at a time.
I lost my mac os hard drive, but my data or clips are in other place, i have a backup folder of discreet folder from /usr/discreet,
i make a new install of snow leopard and smoke 2012, how to relink this projects without restore/archive method, i not archive any file from library menu, I have the discreet folder and metadata in raid disk.
I am creating a script on illustrator CS6 that will loop through all the images and relink these images to there current location, it is used to update all of the links in the file. However sometimes when i run this script i will get the error 376('x ') i have searched for the meaning of this and cannot find it anywhere. It is being written in extendscript, the code i am using is shown below:
Â
// execute the main function
main();
// Construct the main function
function main() {

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a solution to automate a printing and ordering process. I have a design template with 2 pages both 8.5x11 in size. One page represents the front and other the back for double sided printing. I have 6 different images per sheet so in my links panel I have 12 total links, 2 of each. I was wondering if there is a script to update all the links with the same filename with other image? Currently I have to search through all the images and update each one.
Â
I have 6 artboards dividing the 8.5x11 sheet proportionatly. Each artboard represents a different order. Is there a script to write the linked filename to the bottom corner of each artboard?
Whenever I open a bitmap in Photoshop, the visual quality of the image is not as good is it is in ImageReady. The bitmap looks exactly right in everything but photoshop. Even ms-paint! The problem doesn't happen to Jpegs though. The effect is something like a stepping-down effect between shades(or colors?) and it ruins the entire image. (eg. a bitmap image of an apple looks like it has obvious lines of shading)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am struggling with placing different bitmaps on a chamferbox. I can place a bitmap on the top and bottom face, no problem here , the bitmap is displayed, after converting the chamferbox to editable poly. The problem is that when selecting the front poly only (so i select only 1 poly) and when i put a bitmap on it, only a part of the bitmap is displayed. It seems the picture stretches out over front, left ,bottom and right poly. But i want not the streched part of the bitmap , but the whole bitmap to be displayed on the front, and also the same for other bitmaps on left, right and back. What is the trick, that the bitmap is not stretched out over mutiple poly's ?
