CS4 - Project won't load on one comp, will on another

Hello, everyone! I have a Premiere Pro CS4 file that's being troublesome. It's only about 20 minutes worth of video, and about 4.85 GB of associated files.
I have two machines, one dedicated to editing, and one dedicated to rendering. The funny thing is that my project will load on the editing machine, andit will not load on the rendering machine.
The machine that I have dedicated to editing has these specs:
Q9400 @ 2.66ghz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel mobo
Fatal1ty Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT 1GB Graphics card
1x 250 GB 10000 rpm HDD
1x 1 GB 7200 rpm HDD
64 Bit Vista
The machine that's for rendering has these specs:
Core i7 940 @ 2.93ghz
12 GB DDR3
Intel Mobo
Nvidia Quadro FX 580 Graphics card
2x 300 GB 10000 RPM HDDs
1x 300 GB 7200 RPM HDD (external)
Both are linked to a NAS unit. I can't for the life of me figure out why the slower computer loads it no problem, while the faster one hangs at about 2/3 of the way through the loading bar.
Thanks in advance for the help! I've called Adobe tech support, they have no clue.

Bill, thanks for the response! Much apreciated. To answer your questions..
Is the Project, and/or associated files on the NAS?
No, Sir. I've made well sure that all associated files are in one directory on a local disk. I've run project manager and amassed all assets in one directory.
On the editing machine, it loads fine whether or not I'm working from the NAS or from a Local Disk, I've tried both and both work fine.
On the rendering machine, it fails either way. I've made redundant copies on the NAS as well as the local disk, neither loads.
Is there a difference in the CODEC's installed between the two machines?
Possibly. The only Codecs on our rendering machine are the ones that were included with CS4 Master Collection, while on the editing machine, I do have apps such as AVIsynth, AVIdemux and FFDshow in addition to the codecs supplied by CS4.
To shed some light however, the project in question here is a demo project that contains bits from other projects. This demo is only about 20 minutes long. All of the original projects from which I've taken these bits loaded fine on the rendering computer, another reason as to why I'm perplexed.
What are the Assets in the Project?
Various M2TS video files, JPEGs, PNGs, one or two MP3s and a few pieces of premiere - native black video.
Again, all of these files loaded fine as part of the original main project files.
I'm guessing it's a conflict of some sort, somewhere, and loading it up on the editing machine and rendering it there works fine. The rendering machine does seem to work far faster, and while the workaround is feasible, it also holds up my workflow.
Thanks again for all the help!

    I have had the same problem and found that if I opend up iPhoto where the videos were placed from, it cleared up the problem. Crazy, huh? Plus, you have to make sure that the iPhoto account is opened to the correct one...this is done by Option Clicking on iPhoto and choosing which account you have the active videos in.

  • How to load from one BW System to another BW System

    Hi Guys,
    I want to load the BW data from  PAX(BW-Production System) to PRX (BW-DCC-System) .Is there any steps to load it from One BW System to another BW System.
    Any doc available to do the loading from One BW System to another BW System.
    Pl mail to [email protected]
    Send me the steps .
    Points will be assigned.
    Thanks,
    Chinna

    Hi Chinna,
    Loading from one BW system 2 another primarily involves loading data from one infocube to another in other BW system.
    U can create export data sources from infocubes ( rt. clk on infocube n then select  ) and then use these datasources to load data into the infocubes of othar system in usual way.
    Try this out.
    Hope it helps,

  • Project won't load after upgrade to 10.1.3

    Howdy,
    I'm working on a series of videos, each in a separate project, but all in the same library.
    I did the bulk of the editing in 10.1, but recently upgraded to 10.1.3. FCPX did it's usual "update projects and events" routine when I opened the library in 10.1.3 for the first time. All my projects appear to be fine, except one...
    This project is about 30 minutes long, with a handful of different clips – nothing huge...  but it won't load. I get the spinning beach ball for a few minutes, then a system alert saying I've run out of application memory. I check Activity Monitor, and sure enough, FCPX is using over 12GB of RAM! It seems FCPX gets stuck in some sort of loop while trying to load this project, and I'm not sure what to do about it... Any help would be appreciated.
    System info:
    iMac
    OSX 10.9.5
    3.5GHz Core i7
    16GB RAM

    OK, I think I resolved my issue. I hadn't noticed that there was one missing media file in the project that wouldn't open. I didn't notice because normally, FCPX would open the project and swap a "missing media" icon for the absent file in the timeline, but in this case it simply refused to open the project. I re-imported the missing file, and now there are two of them in my media browser. If I delete any one of them, they both disappear... Odd.
    In any case, my project opens now and that's good. What I don't understand is what happened to that missing file in the first place. I didn't delete it or move it. It seems to have been kicked out of the FCPX database upon upgrade to version 10.1.3, which by itself is a little troubling... and I fear there may still be similar database issues that I haven't discovered yet lurking in other projects
    Here's hoping all of FCPX's "growing pains" get resolved soon.
    Thanks for your help, Russ.

  • Some projects won't load full screen view?!?

    I have about 10 projects (out of 130) that won't load in the full screen view if I enter the project and then try to enter full screen. The areas around the Aperture program window (menu bar and dock) turn black as if it were in full screen but the program window just sits there doing nothing as if I never clicked to enter full screen. If I try push F to exit full screen, the black disappears but my dock and menu bar do not return. At this point, I can't click on other projects and have to quit the program (just normal command-Q works fine) and re-open it to do anything.
    What is strange is that if I click to view all my projects, enter full screen, and then double click on one of them that is giving me this problem, it will load the pictures fine. But it seems to hang up when I try to go to another project and I have to quit the program.
    The 10 projects are all pictures taken within a 1 week trip and they include between 50-100 jpeg images each. They were imported into Aperture as part of my iPhoto library. No other pictures that came from iPhoto have this problem.
    Things I have tried to fix the problem:
    1. Repair permissions on library and system
    2. Rebuild library
    3. Export originals from iPhoto and import into Aperture as a new project
    Any suggestions?
    Edited to Add: If I double click a picture so it loads into "Viewer" mode, it seems to enter full screen mode fine when I press F, but the system hangs up and bogs down badly when I try to jump to another problem project from full screen mode. The Activity window says it's loading, but it never does. If I click on anything else, it just continues to say it's loading the first project I tried to switch to.

    I have 4 GB of RAM in a 2.2 Ghz Santa Rosa MBP.
    I don't believe it's an issue of needing to wait for it to load because it loads other projects perfectly. These 10 projects only have 50-100 jpegs (1.8 MB average file). I can enter and exit projects with 200 RAW files (5 MB average file) with absolutely no delay.
    Additionally, it will never load the project. It will say it's loading in the Activity Window but never complete. I can't click to load anything else as the program basically locks up. But it's not really locked because I can Command-Q to exit and it closes properly.

  • Projects won't load

    so i have been using iMovie a lot lately and have been satisfied with it. opened it one day and it suddenly won't load projects, so i deleted it then downloaded it off the app store (tried turning it off and on) once i turn on iMovie it "loads projects" and gives me the color wheel. the only thing i can do is force quit. any ideas?

    I have had the same issue over the last couple of days.  Imovie just doesn't load up for me.  I tried trashing the preference/plist but it still doesn't respond.  any solutions?

  • PPRO CS4 Project won't lunch! Dead-Line is Today! SOS

    OMG!
    I have been working on a PPRO project (CS4) Yesterday when I was working I tried to export media to adobe media encoder - but the encoder failed to export.
    Here is the report.
    - Source File: C:UsersArielAppDataLocalTempShdema_4.prproj

    3/9/2009 1:28:33 AM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    I thought to myself that this unstable encoder is making trouble - and tried to relunch PPRO.
    But I couldn't! the project starts to load, but the progress bar stopped near the end.
    I looked at the DISK resource monitor - and after a while there is no disk activity.
    So I close PPro through the task manager.
    what to do?
    I tried to load an all auto-saved projects (about an hour from the last save.) But still same thing.
    I found in: "C:UsersArielAppDataLocalTemp"
    a temporary save from 5 hours before the problem started.
    and I managed to make it load!
    But when I save it again and exit PPro - it wont relunch!
    something is wrong here - I don't know what.
    What can I do!?
    this project is almost finished - and the dead line is TODAY!!!!
    Whats up with this CURSED MEDIA ENCODER!
    Please Help S.o.S!

    Yes I had!
    I created a few diagrams in AE and imported them to the project.
    I remember that some times when I changes a diagram and re-saved as the same exported file - and premiere pro crashed after that.
    I relaunched PPRo and continued working - but maybe it damaged the project somehow.
    Do you think that is the reason?
    On my attempts to recover this project - I tried creating a new PPro project and importing the damaged project and got the error "a Dynamic link error has accrued" .
    I tried what you have suggested but I get this error:

    Hi Joy
    Unless I'm mistaken, K would be a network drive, no?
    Unfortunately RoboHelp is only one of a host of applications that doesn't fare well if you try to make edits to a project while it resides on a network drive.
    Try copying the project to your local C drive. Perhaps create a folder named Projects and copy your project to a folder named Primo Intranet inside that folder so it looks like this:
    C:\Projects\Primo Intranet
    Once you do this, try opening your project again and you will likely have better luck.
    Cheers... Rick

  • CS4 project won't encode.

    Project settings:

    Video clips are uncompressed 720x480 24fps progressive AVIs.
    I'm getting the "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted." error when trying to render the project.  I know this error has been discussed in other posts, and I've tried several of the suggestions in those posts, such as creating a shortcut for Premiere in the dynamiclink folder, and uninstalling, running the cleaning script and reinstalling, but I'm still having the same problem.
    When AME gives the error it lists the source project as being located in C:\Users\EDITOR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\
    When I go to that location and try to open the project file from there, it locks up during the loading.
    I figured that was what was causing the problem, so I tried opening AME and selecting "Import Premiere Pro Sequence" and navigating to the original project file.  The sequence loads (slowly), and I'm able to export from there.  So it's definately the temp project file that's causing the error.
    Just wondering if someone had any other suggestions I could try so I didn't have to use the work-around every time.
    Thanks.

    The only suggestion I can offer, however, is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything fresh from the OS on up.
    I'll have to wait until I've got a full day with nothing else to do, which might be a while.

  • How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

    This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
    Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
    In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
    Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
    Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

    Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

  • Encore project won't load

    I have 2 encore projects - significant because they have about 22 video clips linked together with a dozen or so menus.  One is a copy of the main project and neither of them will load for me.
    I'm using CS5.  Prior to today everytime I wanted to load this project it took ages to gather all the bits and finally put them into timelines and now it won't do it at all.  I have a couple of clips that need to be changed before re-burning a final copy for duplication.
    Please get back to me asap as I have a deadline of tomorrow to sort it.

  • CS4 Project won't open

    Please help if anyone has had this problem. I have edited a D
    ance Show using four layers of Video (down converted from AVCHD using Panasonic's con
    version program to allow 4-layers of multicam).
    After editing about 1 1/2 hours of the project it now refuses to open, hanging just as the file has loaded in. It appears to be something to do with the fact that when editing Premiere decides to render the project automatically (which I can't bypass). After this automatic system render none of the auto saved projects will open either, only the ones that were created and saved prior to the render.
    I am tearing my hair out at this, does anyone know why and how to get round this.

    I've worked for months on this project, compiling video and photos of my son's first year.  I made an awesome video, I honestly saved every 3 minutes if not more frequently.  I FINALLY finshed earlier today, I went to burn it to a disc and it knocked down my whole computer and now the file won't re-load it comes up with the photos and videos in the "task bar" area on the right but doesn't show my final product.  It has a red screen come up and saying Media offline.  I am devistated and just don't know where to begin.  any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If your computer crashed, then I would see this ARTICLE, as it sounds like more is going on, than you might realize.
    I think that Steve's suggestion on looking at AutoSave PREL's is a good one too, but it could well be that the AutoSaves were Saved over.
