QTPro Could not save file "The movie contains an in correct time value"

QT Pro 7.6.6 Could not save file “The movie contains an in correct time value”
I’m exporting files out of Priemer Pro CS5 with the H.264 “vimeo HD settings” .mp4 files and the files look dull, low contrast and low color saturation, when played in QT10. From what I’ve read it’s a gamma problem with QT10. I also hear the files from FCP have the same problem, so it's not a Premiere Pro problem.
The fix is to open the file in QT Pro, adjust the blend in the video track and re-save, however I try to save the file I get an error that says “The movie contains an in correct time value”
Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
I’m on a MacPro 12 Core with 14gb memory
OS 10.6.5
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
The "Save As..." option always saves a copy of the data to an MOV file container. Minor property changes will allow your to use the "Save" option which stores only the changed properties to the same file in its original file container. Unfortunately, major changes will automatically invoke the "Save As..." routines even though you selected the "Save" option. If you must place the content in an MP4 file container, you can use the "Save As..." option in QT Streamclip to re-save the "fixed" MOV file to an MP4 file container. However, note that extraneous track content may, if present, not be carried over to the MP4 container.

InD blocking Ps to save a file / Could not save * because the file is already in use error

Many users have reported a Photoshop Could not save * because the file is already in use error in many different circumstances.
I place raw jpgs in InDesign document, then open them in Photoshop via Edit original order to adjust them. On random occasions Ps gives me that annoying error. So i found a little trick to avoid saving that image under a different name and relinking it plus reloading Ps since the error repeats on other pictures to.
All you have to do is: when Ps gives error, (Cmd-Tab) switch to InD, directly select the worked jpg in image frame (one that you try to save in Ps) and simply move it left-right (or move it and Undo). Now you can save it without problem.

JPEG is a "lossy" compression format. Every time you save as jpeg you recompress and throw away a little more information. In addition, jpeg does not support transparency or layers, both very useful features for woring with images. For example, you can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop to do your adjustments non-destructively for may of the things that you can do using Image > Adjustments... which will change your pixel data permanently. Throw away an adjustment layer and you image data is untouched. Also, ID allows you to place a layered image and control layer visibility from within ID, making it possible to multi-purpose a single file by showing or hiding various layers.

"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hello,
When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4.
I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
would love to get a solution for that.
thank you,

There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
6. Can't still save file.
7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

Using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro laptop, when saving a file I have been working on I get the following message although there is at least 50GB free space on the hard drive: Could not save because the disk is full.

I have been making Christmas Cards, working in layers and then flattening the image. However, I am unable to save the final image as I get the following message: Could not save because the disk is full. Looking at the system report for my laptop shows there is 52GB of free space.

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted. The users are pulling the files from a Mountain Lion server. They all have read\write access. If they try to save the file in the same directory they get that error but they can save it anywhere else on the sharepoint. If they save it in another directory then reopen it make a change and do a save as they can save it back to the original directory. Has anyone else come across this same issues

It is an enterprise solution. I just do not see why you cant save directly to the server. It seems to get weird errors. Some Adobe stuff saves fine on the server and some of it doesnt. It seems Adobe related. The permissions on the server are set correctly so it isnt a permission error

Could not save as - The file may be read-only or is already open in another application

Can anyone think of a reason why if I'm working locally on a CS3 Flash .fla on my C: drive that I would get the error:
Could not save as: C:\Users\John\Desktop\Project_File\ANNUAL REPORT RELEASE\01-19-11\report_stragegy.fla
The file may be read-only or is already open in another application. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
It happens sporadically. I haven't been able to find a reason why this error pops up when saving some of my .fla files!!
The files are not set to "read only" when I right click on them and choose 'Properties' in the Windows 7.
I found some somewhat similar situations with saving errors:

Sometimes I can save with a different file name. But sometimes I can't and start a new blank document and cut and paste from the one that won't save to the new untitled document.

Random Artifact and "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hi,
I've been working on a collage for school, and I 'merged all layers below into one layer', and photoshop left me a random artifact on all my masks. Also, the same file has been suffering the 'Could not save...' problem. I have taken older versions of the file, brought them back to where I had been, and then a similar artifact appears (from various actions). Once the artifact appears, I can undo the action but not the artifact, and the file is useless. It happen on a second file, but the artifact was different (a rectangular hole in the middle of the masks).
I have a MBP/4GB/MacOSX 10.6.4, everything is up to date.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be really appreciated... I'm working for a deadline at school.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Chris,
I have updated both the Adobe suite and the MacOSX. My school has CS5. The holes cut into the image in a geometric pattern (the rectangles) are the random artifact (cropped below).
Also, I understand 'Could not save...' means it could not save... Why it cannot save seems to be the issue. I believe you understand the circumstances of the 'Could not save...' issue, and it isn't simply that another program has it open.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370206?start=50&tstart=0
I don't really know if it's Adobe, Apple, or Windows issue, and I don't think it really matters. It is a problem in Photoshop, which would make it an Adobe problem... and waiting for a fix doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer.
I don't want to make this tread about politics, I want to fix my file, and I thought it might be another symptom to a bigger problem.
Thanks for your response,
Patrick

PS CS4 could not save because the file is locked

I saw this post, my problem is very similar, but this solution does not solve my problem:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2121454#2121454
Everytime I try to save a photoshop file I get the "Could not save becasue this file is locked" -- and then I go to save again and it does save, becasue the file has disappeared from where I had originally saved it!
This is VERY irritating, as it is not happening EVERY time I try to save a photoshop file.
In reference to the previous post about this, I do not use Spotlight, and often I do not have anything else open when working on these photoshop files.
I am using CS4, and this occurs when saving files both on and off a server.
I am afraid I will at some point end up losing a file.
Any suggestions?

No anti-virus software (they cause far more problems than they solve, at least on a semi-secure network), I don't leave Bridge running. iTunes is running, so is InerTrak (time tracking software)... so it has to be Spotlight or Time Machine unless Activity Monitor will lock files. Or it could be Quicksilver, which creates indices like Spotlight.
First thing I'm doing is adding all my hard drives to "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations" and we'll see if this comes up again.
Could it be the Finder? Does the Finder lock the file while reading the thumbnail?
I'm surprised that there's no way to tell what process has locked the file.
OK, last bit: Why doesn't Photoshop lock the file when it's open so that other programs won't open it?

Could not save file

Hi
When I place a .psd-file in Indesign and option + click on it, the image opens in Photoshop. When I try to save the PSD-file, from time to time I get the message: "could not save the file because it is already in use or was left open". I can only save the PSD-file when I close the initial Indesign-document.
I've already posted the is question on the Photoshop-forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2216629#2216629) and they say it's an Indesign issue.
What can I do?

Are you having the problem when doing Edit Original from ID, or simply when opeing a lot of images in Photoshop? In the bad old days when drives were expensive I used to get not enough space errors in Photoshop all the time on large files (or lots of files open would be similar) when trying to save because the scratch disk was full. That's not the same problem as described in the original post though.

Could not save because the ICC profile description is invalid

I'm getting this error whenever trying to do a "save" or "save as" from Photoshop CC. I've tried converting to different color profiles but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Even if I create a new blank document and try to save it, I get the same error message.
I'm on a Mac running 10.8.5. Doing a search for the exact error message has come up empty. Previous versions had a similar error but it occurred upon opening a file, not saving. So if anyone has some thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated.

Same error intermittently on different files. Windows7 64bit CS4. Saving a file in Photoshop - working from local hard drive - and got the file in use can not save error. We tried changing the name, saving as a different file type with no success. I closed absolutely every application that was running and then stopped all non windows processes from Task Manager and still file in use.
I was finally able to save by choosing "NONE" for the preview instead of Tiff 8-bit in the save options.
The bug is in Photoshop and it is putting a file lock on the preview file that it creates and then not alowing any save with the preview option checked.
After saving without a preview we could close PS and reopen then open the saved file and resave with the preview selected. Closing PS unlocked the preview file.

Quicktime will not save file or move to another disk

I am consolidating old material to a new drive. I have quicktime complete movies created years ago in Final Cut. The movies play fine, but I get only error messages when trying to copy/move the files to the new hard drive.
The icon on the OLD drive is a blue and red FCP Quicktime, not just the BLUE Qt icon.
The files will also NOT open in FCP, asking for missing render files. Odd, because the movies play just fine and completely.
I tried export, save as, render, all options, but all block.
HELP ME GUYS.

On the new PC, you should authorize it first.
Then when you plug the ipod in it should ask if you want to copy purchases over or erase it. Obviously you want to choose the copy option!
Here is an article with screenshots of what you will see

For the exclamation marks, those files might still be on your old PC, but itunes has just lost the path to which folder they are in. Try finding them with these steps

Could not save 'file name' due to program error mac CS6

Please help reguarding this question.
Its not ok.

Installing the update does require restarting Photoshop.
The majority of the file saving problems we've seen are with file servers.
Are you having trouble with a particular format, or just one document?
