Premiere Pro cs6 projects won't open

I'm working on multiple Mac systems, 2 Mac Pro (3 years old) desktops and one fairly new macbook pro.  Recently, I've run into a very serious problem.  My projects that I've been working on for days, will suddenly not open any more - on any of my machines.  This is happening with different projects on different machines.  Whenever I try to open them, I get the never ending stopwatch icon and nothing happens from there.  Last night, I opened a fairly new project, worked on it for about 2.5 hours, then came in this morning and tried to launch it on the same machine and it wouldn't open.
As I said, this is happening with completely different projects on completely different machines.  I'm losing my mind.  I've tried trashing my prefs by holding shift-option down on launch, this hasn't worked.  Has anyone seen this before?

  • Premiere Pro CC project won't open on another computer

    Hi, I am working at a Premiere Pro CC project with a collaborators.
    We share and external hard drive with the footage structure, do some edits then pass the hard drive to the other person and so on.
    Recently, after passing the hard drive, my collaborators can no longer open the Premiere Pro project on her computer.
    Does anybody know what the problem is?
    Thanks

    What exactly are the symptoms?  What happens when they try an open the project?

  • Premiere Pro CC project won't open.

    The last back up was 6 days ago. The error message says 'an unknown error occurred while opening the project'. So I looked on here but the best advice was to try to import the project into a new project. I tried this but it didn't work. I then clicked on import a sequence and the bar got about a fifth across before halting indefinitely, so that didn't work either. What went wrong? Can it be fixed?

    I am trying to reconstruct using the rendered video but I can't get them in a new sequence in order now!

  • 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 4 File Won't Open

    Hi all
    I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi John
    Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
    Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
    Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
    Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 unexpectedly quits whilst opening windows

    Oh wise ones!
    I am having trouble with a premiere project, it is a simple logging project with about 100 video files that has worked previously on an edit share based raid system, but today has decided it will not open & will not re-link media files without crashing.
    What version of PP? 6.0.0
    Have you installed the recent updates? No (cannot update software without administrators permission atm)
    What operating system? 10.8.4 OSX
    What kind(s) of source footage? Apple Pro res LT .MOV files
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? See below!
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? trying to re-link media files that were offline due to changing computer locations on edit share.
    Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? The project file used to work, however a collegue opened the file at a different location on the edit share, which for some reason has un-linked the media and not the file won't open.
    Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? Yes, Version 10.1 (501.29)
    What other software are you running? I have BRU PE running & proxymill and firefox.
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Video co-pilot & twixtor
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.

    Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? edit share
    I have attached the end of one of the crash logs and an error message. Could it be the DDR2 problem? At the moment I cannot restart as the LTO tape is backing up!

    The inability to fully launch is often related to the video driver. I would go to AMD/ATI and check your installed video driver. If not the latest, then download and install that. Note: there have been some issues reported with some of AMD/ATI's latest drivers (mostly in the PS CS6 forum), so it might be necessary to roll-back to an earlier video driver.
    If that is not the cause, in your case, then you have at least ruled out one of the main causes.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS6 just won't work

    What am I supposed to do? It's been months since I've been able to edit because Premiere CS6 won't load any footage. It hangs up for hours simply trying to open project folders to import footage. I've been using Premiere for more than eight years, and I've never had it behave this way...everything was perfectly fine under CS5.5; but, once I upgraded to CS6, the program became useless.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Master Collection suite and Premiere Pro individually more than once and nothing works. Short of taking the software and external hard drive home, I have no other Macs with which to edit.
