BEWARE: Loss of metadata when opening OnLo CS4 project in OnLo CS5

I had recorded a large number of takes over a two day shoot into OnLo CS4. I was pretty detailed as I shot the takes, using the comment, description, and good fields to mark notes to myself--it was going to make post-production much faster and easier. I primarily used the Description field to mark which part of a take was usable.
I recently installed CS5 and opened up my CS4 project into it. To my dismay, none of the Description fields in 250+ takes were populated. In looking at the SMVP "clip info" files, I've noticed that they were all rewritten during the project conversion process--the "Description" fields are there, but OnLocation will not read them. Opening the original project in CS4 has the same effect--the Description field is blank.
How can I gain access to this crucial metadata? Without it, I'll add hours and hours of logging to my job, which is going to offset a deadline I was already sweating. If it can't be fixed, there is no way I can ever trust OnLocation again in my workflow.

I too, am having problems with meta data generated in On Location.
My Panasonic AG DV-1000 is not supported under windows 7, so I drop into Win XP to acquire clips in On Location CS4.
I then switch to Win 7/64 and import the clip into CS 5 On Location. I then make notes in On Location CS5.
When I import the clip into Premier CS5, all the notes are gone, even though, if I re-open the on Location CS5 project, the notes are all there.
Suggestions?

Error Code 150:30 when opening up CS4

When opening up CS4 I receive Error Code 150:30, what is this??

If you upgrade your OS (most likely OSX) or recover Photoshop from backup, this breaks licensing.
The simplest advice is to reinstall CS4 from your discs.
If this is a problem, please get back to me.

You most likely have the clipping indicator on that shows you blown out areas. Click the little triangle in the upper right of the histogram to turn it on or off.

CS4 Crashes when opening a PP project saved on another identical workstation

Hello,
I have 2 identical computers Running PP CS4 in seperate buildings. When I copy a project to a USB flash drive or network drive from workstation A and copy it on to workstation B, the project acts like it successfully loads and at the very last second when you can see the timeline and everything it crashes out.
My system: PC - Intel Core 2 DUO 3ghz processor (E7500) with 2 gigs RAM - Lexicon Lambda usb audio interface - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX + video card on windows xp pro service pack 2. Premiere pro cs4 version 4.2.1. I went throught the steps in the "Guide to an effective question" and per the instructions there I have attached links to the DXDiag results, MSINFO32 results, and screenshots of a couple of the screens in Process Explorer: (these screenshots are from workstation B, where I'm trying to open the project file and it crashes)

I know alot more info will probably be needed to come up with a definitive answer, If I'm missing any info please ask and I will provide. Thanks in advance.

>2 identical computers
Hmm... if they are EXACTLY identical, there is something you might try as a LAST CHANCE (not to be done lightly, since hardware signatures will likely mean that you have to RE-authorize Windows and all software)
Buy http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm (or your disk imaging software of choice)
Make a drive image of GOOD computer to USB hard drive... ditto for BAD computer
After both images are made, write the GOOD image onto the BAD computer's drive and test
If all works well (after any RE-authorizing due to any hardware signatures) you are good to go
If things do NOT work well, simply write the BAD image back to the BAD computer and you are back to where you started
Do not attempt this unless the two computers really are EXACTLY identical !!!!!

Why are InDesign text frames uneditable, or converted to outlined objects, when opened in CS4?

When opening a CS3 Layout in CS4 to make client text changes, all the text frame box edges (on their appropriate layers) are shown as dotted lines, and none of the type is editable!
I restored the old version, and opened in CS3 old version, and the same thing applies! Arggggh - there must be a frame preference that I don't know about or an instruction accidentally given.
How do I convert the text boxes back to editable regions? Got a deadline and am miffed.
I am a 20 year veteran of Pagemaker/Indesign/CS and this has never happened to me before!

Dotted lines for frame edges means that the item is on the Master Page. That’s why you can’t edit items, because they are on the Master, not on the numbered page. Either Command-Shift-click on the object to edit it or edit it on the Master Page. You should find out why so much of the document was built on the Master Page. Either the designer meant this to be a template for multiple existing or future pages, or someone just wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize they were designing on the Master.

How to Open PPro CS4 project in PPro CS3?

I have to make hundreds of individual avis from a Ppro CS4 project. In CS4 the Media Encoder has to open up for each one and then I must wait til it loads the clip and then I can keep them in queue and do many at once but it takes forever. Is there any way to open this project in CS3 so I can simply export movie files one after the other (without that horrible media encoder)?

Unfortunately, there is almost zero backward compatibility. I did find that Encore CS3 Projects could be Opened, with few issues, in my EncoreDVD 2.0, but that was surprising, and not of help to you.
Now, one can use a bit of a workaround, if such is required. One can edit loosely in CS4 (remember, you will want Handles), or edit very tightly with all Transitions, knowing that those will not be changed in CS3. When done, Export (for SD Projects, either the DV-AVI Type II, or Lagarith would be good), and then Import that into CS3.
Also, an EDL might be useful. There is another option, similar to EDL, that starts with an A, but my mind has gone blank. Others will be quick to offer that, and tell you if it would be useful in your case - sorry.
Good luck,
Hunt

Project Professional 2010 and pwa hangs when opening a linked project from PWA on Project Server 2010

When I open a linked project in Project Professional 2010 from PWA, Project Professional 2010 hangs with the "Links Between Projects ..." dialog box open. Unable to move or close the dialog box. Unable to move or close Project Professional
2010. The PWA tab on internet explorere is frozen and unable to access although other tabs in IE are accessible. End up having to reboot to close down project or force the process to end. I suspect a hidden dialog box is the culprit maybe
the scheduling conflict dialog box but am unable to access or switch and cannot confirm that there is another dialog box.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Julie

I have seen it hang when trying to open a project schedule even with no external links.
Project 2013 Pro, Link to schedule is on a PWA on a Project 2007 server.
If Project 2013 is open before clicking on the link, there is a long delay and the project schedule opens up in the web tab where the link was selected. If Project 2013 is not open, it just hangs and has to be shut down via the task manager.
No idea why. I can create a link to the shared volume and that works OK. But if I actually try to open MS Project by clicking on the link to a .mpp file it never opens in MS Project.

Can't open Premiere CS4 project in CS5

Having issues opening a premiere cs4 project in cs5. The machine I was using with Cs4 has died, so I'm trying to continue the project with CS5.
Whenever I open the project I get a message saying "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened, No sequence preview preset or file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I have the latest version of premiere cs5 installed, and quicktime. The footage I was using was from a Canon 7D.
Thank you!

X-Code 5.0.2 crashing in Mavericks 10.9 when opening an existing project

Just updated X-Code to 5.0.2 and now it crashes when I try to open an existing project. Seems to OK when a new project is started though.
What am I doing worng?

I had the same issue then I found out all you have to do is to set the default view to List before opening any previous or new project and it worked, credit goes to this user below who found the solution.
ahmedMac25
I was able to resolve by workaround:
1. Closed all open applications
2. relaunch Finder
3. run sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
4. this removes all .DS_Store old files on the computer
5. launch finder and set default view to "LIST VIEW" as shown here:http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Setting-Finder-Views-For-Folders-And-Su b-Folders_2.htm
5. rerun the offending application and file chooser works

Motion 4 crashes when opening Motion 3 project

Updated to new box and software. I have a ton of projects that were built w/ motion 3.
I reuse all motions movements and effects with replacement of text & video only. When I open Motion 3 project i get the prompt "This is earlier version..." and asks Open Orig or Open as Untitled. Have tried both and same result ....crashola. I've been doing this for awhile and need to open these....
Haven't seen this in searching community....
Thanx in advance

I'm having the same problem too. I've tried opening the file with and without Motion being open, opened as Original file and untitled document. It just crashes, here's the top of my crash report

System hang when opening Motion 5 project

Hi,
Just bought Motion 5 and I am playing around with it for a while now. Today I created a Motion 5 project, which went pretty well. Later I wanted to open it again but was unable to do so. When I try, it starts loading the components in the time line, but it then dies and I cannot do anything anymore except do a hard reboot ???!!! Memory is showing 50%
Earlier I had set a preference to open the last project when Motion starts. The consequence of that was it would use up all memory (4GB) immediately after startup and leave my system unusable. I then deleted the Motion plist files, so it would at least start up. I can start a new project, but, as I said earlier, cannot open an existing project anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas ?

Thanks for your response. That is exactly what I did. I used an app (AppCleaner) which identifies all copmponents of an app, including all plists. So I removed Motion completely, downloaded it again from the Appstore and reinstalled. No luck.
Yesterday I created a tiny Motion project with only a single clip and a light and was able to open that again. Projects created earlier will not open, though, and cause the complete system to stall to the extent that even force quit is not possible anymore.
The console log shows a couple of messages that might give a clue:
Pretty strange, btw, that a single app is capable of neutralizing an operating system. I have always thought this was a Windows thingy, but not Apple.....

XML Parsing Error when opening Dreamweaver CS4

Hi guys, I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS4
which was downloaded from the adobe website and once i try
installing it it comes up with 'please delete current menus.xml
file and then rename menus.bak file to menus.xml'. Once I tried
that the new renamed xml file has the same problem as the old one.
Now, When i opened up the file in Firefox it came up with an XML
Parsing error. The exact error is as below:
XML Parsing Error: prefix not bound to a namespace
Location:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CS4/configuration/Menus/menus.xml
Line Number 12, Column 5: <shortcut

command="dw.quitApplication()" id="DWShortcuts_Main_Quit" />
----^
I am running windows XP SP3. Can anyone offer an
insight/possible solution? I've already tried the following methods
which have been suggested by other forums:
CS4 clean script on Adobe website
Microsoft installer clean up
uninstall and reinstall all CS4/adobe products
deleting Cache.db
deleting Macromedia folder
deleting faulty line in menus.xml file
Is there anything else I can do? Thanks guys!

1) Close Dreamweaver
2) Navigate to the Design.xml file and rename it.
3) Launch Dreamweaver and it will recreate the Design.xml file
The AppData folder is hidden by default on Windows, so you need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in order to locate it, as follows:
In Vista/Windows 7, select Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
In Windows XP, select Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
Once you turn on this option, hidden folders are displayed as dimmed icons to remind you to treat them with care.

Error when opening Photoshop CS4

I own a new dell laptop with Window 7 OS. About 1 month after I installed Adobe CS4, I started getting an error everytime I opened up Photoshop: "Photoshop has encountered a problems with the display driver, and has temporarily disbled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
I contacted Dell to see why I was getting that error. The technical support staff at Dell was unable to figure it out and said I needed to contact you. Do you know why I would get this error 1 month after I installed it?
Cindee

Many laptops do not have very good video adaptors and yours may not meet the demands of CS4 in terms of OpenGL performance.
This could cause the error message. Try updating the video drivers and if that doesn't help, disable OpenGL in Edit > Preferences > Performance.

Indesign CS5.5 hang on loss of focus when opening files

I know there's going to be no quick fix but I'm going to throw this out. InDesign CS5.5 / 7.5.2 running on WindowsXP SP3 seems to hang when the program looses focus when a file is opened. The program will ocassionally lose focus if you click on the "update" button or if you select another application/window. The result is that the file will open but InDesign does not allow any actions. Just a "ding" when you click anywhere.
Besides the obvious "don't touch your computer", any fixes/ideas? Hang on update is really annoying, especially if you don't touch anything except the update button.

Hello all, sorry to bump such an old thread but this is the most similar topic I've come across to a problem some of us here are also having. I think the hidden alert is simply the update links progress bar, after playing with my monitors a bit:
but even with it active on the main monitor, the progress bar is stuck and cancel does nothing.
I have a theory that it is to do with linking to EPS files... but nothing to back that up.
This is InDesign CS5 and Win7
edit: I'm canvassing the other users here to see if it might be that file specifically.
