Premiere Pro CS6: Project Panel Search Disabled When Media is Not on System Drive

Hello
I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6. It's awesome!
I have some media I use in a project that is stored on another internal hard drive. This is a secondary 1TB drive.
I started to notice pretty quickly that the Project Panel search is disabled for assets residing on this secondary drive.
As a test I linked to some media on my Macintosh HD (root drive). The Project Panel Search was available during this test.
When not available, the Project Panel Search is dimmed. No errors or other feedback.
Is there something I can do to enable Project Panel search for media which is kept off my Macintosh HD? I would prefer to keep my work files on my secondary drive.
Hardware:
MacPro (Mid 2010)
Mac OS 10.7.5
24 GB RAM
1x2TB and 1x1TB hard drives
Thanks in advance.

Hello PHA 1 ,
I had the same problem, go down to the panel below the project panel and if it is on "effects" change it to "info" or vice versa.
Magicaly your search will not be greyed out and you can type in what your looking for.
I have no idea what one has to do with the other but that is the solution for now

How to work on a portion of a larger Premiere Pro CS6 project on another computer?

I have a very large Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 project that I'm working on at home. While I'm gone for the holidays, I'd like to take a small portion of that project (whole project is 6tb and too large to take, so I'll take 1tb of it), work on it, and then return and reintergrate it into the larger project. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
Lucian

Mark,
I migrate Projects with external FW-800's all of the time. To ease working on those Projects, I locate all of my Scratch Disk, Same as Project, and everytihng is always there, and ready for use. I do give up a bit of ultimate performance with this configuration, but never have any issues.
One thing that I do for each external is to assign the same, unique drive letter to it in the OS of each computer. Have you done this? Does your RAID box come up with the same drive letter in each computer - always?
Good luck, and with migration between computers, you might want to relocate the Scratch Disks. Please let us know if that helps.

Can a premiere pro CS6 project done on a pc be opened by PPCC2014 on a mac without manually relinking every asset?

Can a premiere pro CS6 project done on a pc be opened by PP CC2014 on a mac without manually relinking every asset? Relinking would take longer for me than just recutting my colleague's footage.

Use the Project Manager to collect all of the assets on the PC. Then use that to start your editing on the Mac.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

Premiere Pro CS6 Project Manager gives error & will not manage project - OS X Lion 10.7.5

Premiere CS6 project manager reports an error and will not manage my project. I have tried several times with both "Create New Trimmed Project" and " Collect Files and Copy to New Location". I have also tried to manage the project with options checked and unchecked (Include Preview Files, Include Audio Conform Files, Rename Media Files to Match Clip Names). Every time I try to manage the project, the process takes a few hours and then gives an error asking me to try again.
The project is 90 minutes long and uses multiple footage formats:
Sony FS100
Sony NEX7
Sony NEX-5n
Canon C300
Canon 5DmkII
Panazonic HVX200
My computer is:
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Is this a bug, or are there specific things I can do to troubleshoot the problem? I have read of issues with AVCHD. I have confirmed all of my AVCHD folders are intact. Any other Ideas?
THANKS!

I have this same problem on a Mac with CS6. I was simple trying to archive a project using the "collect files" option. After five or six hours of troubleshooting (Thanks Adobe) I have narrowed it down to MXF clips that came over in a Final Cut EDL (Projects created in PP with MXF files seem to be fine). In other words, as I was transitioning from FCP to Premiere Pro, I sent four or five projects out of FCP as an EDL, opened them in PP and continued to edit. It seemed to work really well until I attempted to archive my media. If there was a single raw MXF file in the timeline (Not the project panel for some reason) the Project Manager would give me the standard error:"An unknown error occurred during the Project Manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation.".
I have found two solutions that seem to work, both of which are a pain in the ax.
Option 1: Save the original project file only to an archive folder. Then delete all the old timelines from the project, and save the project with a new name. Create a new timeline and just drag all the raw video and audio into it. (Project Manager needs a timeline of some sort to archive) Then use the Project Manager to archive the modified project. If I need the project in the future, I'll need to open the original PP project and relink all the media from the archived "media only" project folder.
Unbelievably, if you were to take this route and then re-edit the project in the future, it looks like you would run up against the same archiving issue AGAIN next time (At least using CS6). You'd have to go through all the steps above to archive it a second time. Depending on the size of your project, you may want to take option 2 and get the pain over with once-and-for-all.
Option 2: If you only have a couple of MXF files in the timeline (in my case I had mostly renders from AE by the time I was done and THAT raw project had archived in AE just fine) you can export the raw MXF files to another format, then replace the media in your project panel. Finally, use the Project Manager to archive the project like you should have been able to in the first place if Adobe had written the code well in the first place!

Unable to open my Premiere Pro CS6 projects

Hi,
I am using Adobe Premiere PRO CS6 about two years. A few days ago i tried to open a project i createt half a year ago but was not able to. I got alway the error message Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
when i click to continue appears the message that the project could not be loaded beacuse its maybe dameged or contains old elements.
So what I tried,
-     Reinstall Adobe premiere Pro CS6 (deleted all files and settings before)
-      create an other User on the computer to be sure its not the user profile
-     installed Premiere on a virutal machine
-      open an other project from autosave
     always the same error
than I created a new project worked for about one hour on it. after saving closed the project => next day continued with the work on that file saved again, an since today that file is also not working any more same error as on the other fiel. The old file (saved after first day) is still working.
I hope you can help me with that issue, in about a month I will have to make a bigger project and if Im not sure that premiere is working correct i might loose a lot of time.
thanks for your help!!

Which Premiere Pro (CS6) project settings should I be using?

Hi there
I am currently trying to use Premiere Pro CS6 to edit a Skype video call I recorded using Super Tintin, and I'm not sure what project settings I should l be using.
At the moment I am selecting HDV/HDV1080i25 (50i) when I set up the project, but when I come to add the video file to the project timeline, I am told that the file settings do not match the sequence settings and I am prompted to either change the settings, or keep the existing ones.
When I select 'keep existing settings' the video appears in a very small box in the centre of a large black screen, which obviously isn't what I'm looking for. When I select 'change sequence settings', however, the video fills the screen, which is great, but the video and audio are out of synch (when I play the file outside of CS6, they are in synch). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
If it helps, here is some info regarding the file I'm currently working with:
MP4, 9MB
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 14 frames/second
Data rate: 529 kbps
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.

Select a New Sequence
Select any preset in a folder Mobile & Devices
go to the Setting tab
Set the parameters of the video and audio to your video file appropriately.
Save the preset under any convenient name.
create a sequence based on your preset.
Enjoy.

Premiere Pro CS6 - Project frame won't retain its layout or location between opening and closing?

I filed this as a bug, but perhaps I'm thinking through this wrong and would like to seek help.
I'm finding that the Project frame in Premiere Pro CS6 does not retain its layout between opening and closings.
Here's what I do:
1) Open a project.
2) Create several bins and populate them with media. Expand the contents of a bin by clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder.
3) Undock the Project frame only.
4) Close the Project frame with Command-W
5) Use ****-1 to reopen the Project frame.
Repeat steps 4 and 5. The result is that the Project frame does not remember which bin was open. Furstratingly, it also does not retain which bins were expanded or collapsed.
And worst of all, it will also open in random areas of the screen. (The expected result is that it would reopen in the same spot of the desktop where you last closed it, no?)
I'm a big organizer -- tons of footage across many different bins. I open bins, close them, keep some open, close others... easily dozens or hundreds of times during an edit session. I'm beginnging to feel like I'm swatting flies or playing whack-a-mole just to get my bin views correct!
Or mm I approaching this wrong?

But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

Opening A Premiere Pro CS6 Project in Premiere Pro CS 5.5

I downloaded Premiere Pro CS 6. I already have Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on my computer. I had read you can open up a CS 6 Project in CS 5.5 by doing the following:
1) Saving your project file on your Hard Drive
2) Copy it just for back up
3) Right Click (Control Click) on the original Project File and open it up in Text Edit.
4) On the fourth row Change Version "25" to Version "24"
5) Save it.
I opened up Premiere Pro 5.5 and went to File (that I just changed to open in Premiere CS 5.5) - Open Project - and I then clicked on that file. It started to open up. When Premiere 5.5 was open this dialog box came up:
I clicked OK and everything opened up in 5.5 fine. It worked great. You can open up a CS6 project in Premiere 5.5.
What does this box mean? I installed CS 6 as is. I did not add any third party files or transitions or filters.
Thanks in Advance

this is the best piece of advice i have found. thankyou so much edwurd. I have premiere pro 5.5 and 6, I had to upgrade to 6 for some commercial work, but half my plugins have now gone into another dimension and 6 doesn;t see them these consist of red giant and new blue fx plugins mostly. These all work great in 5.5 premiere but of course with new projects now in 6 half of them cease to be seen by the plugin loader even though they are in the cache after 11 days of installing and reinstalling still no one can help. I had a huge project i was working layered with all these third party plugins that 6 didn't want to play with anymore, although it used to, I just tried your suggestion. and it worked perfectly, i didn't even get the error box the whole thing / 6 project / opened beautifully in 5.5 with all plugins functioning and happy. Thankyou again. you are a legend.

Premiere Pro CS6 Project Files Not Recognised by Windows

Gidday, I hope someone can help with this problem. Premiere Pro(and After Effects) have worked perfectly on my laptop up until now. Saved PP projects are not recognised by Windows 7. I can open a new project but once I save it, it is not recognised and won't open and I can't reset either as the default programs for those files. The applications are visible in the start menu so it is very strange as all were working fine last week and nothing has been done to the laptop in the meantime.
Anyone else come up against this problem?
Thanks
Steve

Steve, I just had this happen as well.
I used the Programs section of the Windows Control Panel to initiate an uninstall. On Adobe's Unistall setup screen (or whatever it may be called) I selected to uninstall PP only. When it was done I restarted and then installed PP only. And then it was back to "normal."

Large Premiere Pro CS6 Project running very slowly

Hi there folks. I'm about to ask a question to which I'm fairly certain the answer is "You need to upgrade your RAM and Video Card." But I thought I'd toss the question out to Adobeland just for the slightest, minesculest chance there might be a software fix.
Basically, I have a huge project for this promo. About 4TB worth of footage all in all. Almost all of it is PRORES 4444 from an Alexa (which runs like a charm) but there's also a great deal of full hd XDCAM transcodes of several of a networks full feature films (They're about 80GB each).
These films are killing my project. I can't even watch them for more than a few seconds without Premiere just stalling out, that's fine, I can cope with that. But apparently just having them in the project is enough to slow the whole thing down even when I'm only using a few clips on my 60" timeline. It takes 45 minutes for the project to fully load up, and I'm constantly clearing the cache.
I'm running a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) 2 x 2.4Ghz Quad-core Intel Xeon, 12 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB using OSX Lion 10.7.5....
If there's any little software tweaks or fixes that can speed up Premiere.
PS - I've tried using project manager to create a new trimmed project with handles, but for some reason this never works for me. It just makes copies of the entire original clips without trimming them. I've also tried transcoding the Larger files to smaller versions, but this process is taking way too long and keeps crashing
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Much Love
Martin

In After Effects you 'purge' the cache to free up RAM, in order to preview other compositions. In Premiere, it is a bit different, because this program works with different cache files and different ways of storing them. There are files used for previews/renders, created by the user - and files for caching information about media used in the project (metadata, waveforms etc.), created by Premiere. The only ones you can delete are the render files, found in Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files (if you don't need them at one point; they can be easily recreated by rendering again). All the others (the ones you say that you delete through 'Preferences') need to be kept, because Premiere works with them. I assume this is the reason it takes that long when opening the project, because Premiere needs to re-cache everytime. Don't delete them and see how it goes.
Just as a reference point for you: I have a powerful computer (dual Xeon, dual nVidia, 64GB RAM), and I still have to decrease the playback quality sometimes to 1/2. The lowest I can go is 1/4, and I assume your Premiere allows decreasing at least to 1/8, with the rest of values grayed/unselectable.
I think you need a better graphic card first, one that is accepted by Premiere, for its CUDA capabilities. Check their website, I think your Radeon is not allowing the use of Mercury Playback.
Best,
Mark

Exporting Premiere Pro CS6 project fails to encode with certain assets in timeline

I just upgraded to Creative Cloud and enjoyed until it came time to render my first video.
The Media Encoder crashes no matter what I do!!!!!
I am rendering timelines with Canon MXF files and I need to transcode them to AVI so my friend can use them in his older version of Vegas.
I even tried encoding just a simple 15sec timeline with a few 5 second clips and that crashed too.
I NEVER had an issue with the previous version when i was using CS5.5.
What has changed???? I am very disaapointed whats the point of my editing a project if i can't ever output it????
I have several client project due and now I can't finish any of them. And your India based tech support doesn't even know what Adobe Media Encoder is!!!!!

Cannot save Premiere Pro CS6 project to our server. Keep getting error message.

We have just replaced/renewed all of our workstations and server. PC. Started using the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription service. Absolutely love the software BUT we have one rather big problem I can't figure out...When we create a new project in Premiere it keeps popping up with this error message: "Could not open the project file with write access. The file may be locked or you may not have permission to write to this location. Select 'Save As' from the File menu to save the project to a new location". Our IT consultant has double checked and made sure that all of our workstations have full write access to the server. At this stage, Premiere is only letting us save our projects to an external hard drive or on the workstation hard disk. This is not satisfactory. We need to be able to save to the server. Has anyone come across this problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
