Media Offline (in the Sarah Lane Episode)

[spiri]

OK, so in the latest episode every time there was supposed to be some kind of graphic (an image or a screenshot), there was just a red screen with the text "Media offline". What is that about? Some kind of sick joke, or some kind of sick mistake?

[boldfire]

This actually happens at least twice in the video. If memory serves correctly that is the placeholder picture when Final Cut can no longer find a file which was used in the video. A likely cause is that whoever was editing the episode deleted the files before encoding the video.

Although, the first time was quite fitting "Muxtape - Media Offline"

[speed]

It happens more than twice. When they did it with Muxtape, I figured it was a joke, since it fit, but it does seem weird that they did it with every graphic.

LOL, i thought it was funny.

Media Offline is when the pictures/video that they were going to use as B-Roll must have moved. So FCP shows it as Media Offline. Oops. Martin Go Raise Hell !!!!!!! lol

We're fixing the "joke" right now. Just conveniently look away while we do a quick slide of hand on your video.

Wow, Sarah looked as if she wanted push Martin out a window in that episode. Hope he isn't escorted out by security at the end of the day :P It seemed at the end Sarah was about to take a swig in order to blot Martin out and try to make her life seem normal.

And Martin, that line about "You talk about Mux almost as much as Fresh Gear talked about digital cameras"...ZING!

BTW, I love the skits/commercials you guys do at the end of each episode, I always stay tuned for them

The problem has been fixed and new encodes uploaded. Enjoy the show... if you already saw it, watch it again.. it really is that much better with all the graphics!!

Wait a minute, how could Martin and Jay have been making up names for popSiren together if Martin didn't even know who Jay was until a few weeks ago?

Seems something wrong with the encode. I downloaded it twice to see. Both the small and large XViD versions. If I look at the properties it says Summary properties are unavailable blah blah blah. I played GOM the seach bar is gone and when the file is opened the total time counts up.
