Help! OMF Error 28 & 53

dix · Post by **dix** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:50 am

I see on other threads that OMF Error 28 (cannot locate media) is fixed by setting the permissions to Read & Write. However on this particular file I'm getting the error even though the permissions are set correctly.

...also I tried repairing permissions on my boot drive, after which I now get Error 53 (cannot locate media) when I try to import.

Any ideas? Was the file saved improperly possibly?

Ok. I had the editor re-save the project using several of the various methods suggested here and elsewhere, but all embedded OMFs and AAFs that come from this one guy gets an "OMFI_ERR: File not found. OMF error code = 28". The files are 1gb+ files, so the media is in there somewhere. What else can I do?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Did the OMF file come from Nuendo? For some reason, I can never get a Nuendo OMF file to open in DP. However, OMF files exported in DP opens just fine in Nuendo. Anyone else have luck with opening Nuendo OMF files?

Nope. From Avid Express.

AV transfer on PC fixed the problem by importing the OMF then exporting -

kinda expensive work around tho.....
