2.7 bins will not open in 3.0

Reply Contact

Hi I have recently upgraded to 3.0 and I have a bin that was never origionally part of any project. I used it to store all my music for productions and now I cannot get Media Composer to open it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

"... a bin that was never origionally part of any project ..."

First, it "had" to be part of a Project, as that is the only way to create a Bin. The Project may have been called "Music" or "Commen Elements" ... but I digress ...

How are you accessing the Bin? File >Open Bin? ... or did you copy it into an existing Project folder? Are you getting an error?

I am going to rightclick->open bin and I get an error that says that cannot open file... "does not contain a valid avid domain header."

Have you tried just Double-Clicking on the Bin? Meanwhile, it's possible the Bin is corrupt. If so, and if you have no other copies, you have no options.

Is there a chance that You have a working copy of the bin in the attic folder?
