File importer detected an inconsistency...

Hi guys

When I want to export my project, I run in to problems.

En file (.mp4) that comes out only is 1kb and obviously doesn't work.
In Premiere Pro I get an error in the little yellow triangle, in the down right corner, saying:

"File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of BBO-tour-00001.mp4. Reading and writing this files metadata (XMP) has been disabled."

Does any of you have an idea, what I should do or look for?

I hope to hear from you.

Have a good day.

Best regards
Dennis

Hello again...

So I tried a lot of different things, and it turned out the reason for this issue was too little free space on my harddisk.

Problem solved.

Thanks for taking your time to look at this.

Best regards
Dennis

For ones who got this error and have enough space in disk and have been trying everything you see but nothing solve the problem, go yo archive, project manager and do this. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjdlOnO-PT7AhVWQzABHc4jA4oQwqsBegQICRAG&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DymxpCqhVKB8&usg=AOvVaw1Y_arJTF62Nr2pwdVRi2lN

At the moment premiere create a new folder and project, you need to open this new project and export, it should export perfect.

okay so ive had this problem many times in my experience with this application and its a easy fix and will usually always be the problem if not storage go to the top left of your project screen and click file, the you should see towards the bottom project settings, then click general. the first thing you should see in this window is video rendering and playback. make sure the fiirst drop down says mercury playback engine software only. what happens is when premiere pro has updates is changes some of your settings and in most cases that will be your problem and it will change it to  mercury playback engine GPU accleeration. ive even begun looking at those render settings before i export so i dont encounter more problems. but this has worked for me everytime and i hope this helps!!

In my case the problem was that I used one sequence twice in one project. So I copied the file, change the name of the second one and used it.

How did you figure out that it was that specific issue? 

Participant

I didn't try many things. I simply collected my files and by going to project manager and open the file once collected and booom.... it shows you what files are missing, unliked, etc. I just happen to have two files named the same so one of the clips did not show.

Good day. please I need an urgent help. So I exported a 20sec animation from c4d. When I bring the clip into premiere pro, it says 'importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure. Reading and writing file's meta data (XMP) has been disabled.

 

P.S My window player plays the video smoothly

 the metadata is additional information about the file that can include all sorts of things that may not be important for your work such as timecode, and a ton of other things.  If it plays and exports without issues, you'll probably be ok.  If you need some reassurance, export the file in a high quality format such as prores hq from premiere and import the file back in to premiere.  If you don't get the warning, I'm guessing you'll be ok..

Thanks for reaching out. So the video is not opening at all in premiere pro. It just shows the error and does nothing

what part of your hard drive did you clear

As I mentioned in my reply to MMmaster, I relinked all my footage and audio in the project panel ("replace footage") and that fixed the issue (a linking problem, I think)! I also had deleted the files I wasn't using but I don't think this was relevant to the outcome.

Are there certain steps to doing this? I've had so many problems and talking to tech support hasn't worked so far. I'm new to Premiere Pro and to technology so if there's steps could you share all of them? I'd appreciate it!

Just select the clip you want to replace, right-click and select "replace footage". A window pops up and you can search your computer for a new file to use.

Hi There,

 

I am creating a demo video for my company. It was working fine and all my videos I can drag in except 3. I don't have time to reinstall my program, because I am on a tight deadline. I don't know what is wrong, all my other videos work fine. When I open those three videos in the media player it also works fine.

 

I get a file importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure error.

 

Please let me know if any of you have any advice on how to fix this

 

Thank you in advance

Handbrake might be your easiest way out.
