Can i open a project created in FCPv4 in FCPv6.0.5 ?

I need to switch computers while working on the SAME project.
will i be able to open my project,
which i created in FCP version 4
on the new computer that has FCP version 6.0.5 ?
Thanks for your help!

It may move a little slow and I'm not sure how well Motion would run if you were planning on using that. Definitely in the realm of possibility for light editing (ie not feature length projects or anything with a lot of special effects).
On the plus side, if you decide to get a faster system, you could get a desktop and when you buy FCS, Apple allows you to install in on one desktop and one laptop, so you wouldn't have to buy it twice and you could use the laptop for the lighter stuff when you're on the go, and then transfer the project to the desktop when you're at home. That was a really long sentence.

Can I Open RH5 project file in RH10?

I don't like registration of all kinds until I took an RH arrow in the knee. XDD
Here's my scenario:
My colleague created a project in RH5 long time ago and now she's handing over the project to me.
I copied the whole robo source files folder to my local disk and tried to open it in RH10. Then error saying .cpd file might be corrupt so that RH cannot load the data from the database. I know .cpd file is the cache file for a RH project, right? It's created/overwritten every time you open the RH project. Then I figured, maybe I should delete the .cpd file(as it might be created in RH5 in her machine) before I open it in RH10?
Also, I've tried to open the same project file in RH5(I have RH5 and RH10 installed in the same OS:Win 7). It worked for the first time, with lots of errors of broken links and reference links but failed for the second time, right after I opened that project in RH10. (You might will want to doubt if RH5 is executable in Win 7, I thought it should be but it turned out it is, which is amazing...)
So..here're the questions:
1. Do RH5 and RH10 coexist in Win 7? Some said they don't..
2. Should I delete the .cpd file created in lower version of RH before I open the project created in RH of lower version(say, RH5) in RH of higher version(in this case, RH10)?
3. Can RH10 open the project created in RH5? I know the project created in RH of lower version will be converted in some way when it's opened in RH of higher version. Anyone practiced this successfully?
Thank you!

It proves that X5 can be opened. It does not prove it will work properly in all respects. Also webhelp will likely have issues with some browsers. In other words and to answer your question, both can be on the same machine but that does not mean both will work as designed.
Rh8 could be used with Windows 7 when Rh8 was released, except bits broke until it was patched so the chances of X5 are rather low.
MS Access is not needed on your machine as the CPD is a runtime database. There's no point messing with it, leave Rh to recreate it.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

Cannot Open New Projects Created in Premiere 8

My software is Premiere Elements 8
My system is a Dell Studio 17, i7-720QM, 6MB Cache, 8GB DDR3 SDRAM.
I ran into a third problem using PE8:
1. After I open a New Project in the PE8 Welcome Screen, sometimes the work area refuses to pop up on my screen; no Monitor, no Timeline, no Task pane. When I relaunch PE8 and try to open the New Project I just created I get a message "...cannot open projects created with Premiere Pro"
Has anyone experienced this? Do I simply reload the software? I recently downloaded the PE8.0.1 patch.
Thanks for any assistance.

I too had the same issue - along with an inability to (re)open video projects. I did a few things.
As long as I created the project using the DV - "Standard 48kHz" setting, it worked. Selecting "Widescreen 48kHz" allowed me to save the project but I was unable to open it, receiving the error you are getting about needing to use Pro.
The second issue is an inability to open an existing project. Premiere launches, a progress bar shows "loading....1%...100%" - then nothing happens. The workspace is empty and all menu options are disabled.
First - install 8.01, and reboot! The installer doesn't indicate that you need to. I continued to have the same problems until I rebooted.
Second - upgraded the ATI drivers from the Dell website. Apparently my 2-week old Dell XPS-16/i7 laptop came with drivers from 2009 - go figure.
To recap, 8.01 (+reboot) fixed the "need Pro to open" issue
Updating ATI driver from Dell website fixed the "can't open existing project" issue.
And while on the Dell website you'll notice lots of drivers that need updating. I did them all.

Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7

Once again my Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7 (64-bit). This is same problem that happened to me 6 months ago. I reported it to the online Adobe support, but got no help. Eventually I worked around it on my own. Now the problem is back and I can not open any project, even after rebooting. The behavour that I see is that I can open a new or old project, but the Premier window shows-up as having zero size. The bug has something to do with the Premier program thinking that the window size should be zero. The program shows-up in the active task list, and the Alt-Tab key shows Premier window has only a window title bar (where as other active programs show-up as a thumbnail image of their window contents), and the system taskbar also shows the Premier program as active but only as a window title bar (see attached image below)
When I reported to the online Adobe support forum 6 months ago that I had worked around the problem, the answer was something like "good that you fix it", BUT Adobe did not seem to be interested in understanding and fixing the problem. They just seem relieved when customers can figure-out work-around on their own. I see that another peron just reported this same problem on the Adobe forums, and got the same treatment. He also found a work-around, and the support person replied when "that's nice". This really bites me where it hurts. I'm burning non-productive hours because of their bugs, and they don't care enough about the bugs to get engineering to fix them. It's things like this that make me look for another software vendor.
But today I really do need to work on my video project. If there is a document work-around for the "Premier show a zero-sized window" bug, PLEASE let me know about it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
-- Ole Pa

Hi Steve,
Thanks for looking at this on Saturday, and for your question. What I mean by a "zero sized window" is that Premier's window has been created and the program is running, but when I give Premier focus nothing is shown on the screen. I know the program is running because I can see it on the Windows taskbar, in the Alt-Tab list, and in the task manager's list of running programs. When I use the Windows taskbar to alternately show and hide the window, it behaves normally, except when I show it nothing shows on the screen. Also, when Premier starts up, I do see it loading the project, but when the project loads the window disappears. Premier has this annoying design of starting with its window maximized, and then automatically resizing the window to what it thinks is the size that I want. When the bug is active, the size seems to be zero, or minimized, or off the screen, or who knows what. Just not anything that I can see. The little thumbnail that Windows 7 shows of running programs on the taskbar makes be think the window has been resized so that it is zero pixels wide and zero pixels high.
In my earlier report of this bug, I described it as "minimizing to the taskbar" because that is what it appeared to doing at that time. Here is a link to my earlier report:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/704857
That thread has screen snapshots that show the visual atrifacts of the bug on Windows 7. I experienced the same bug again this morning. The workaround that I had done last year did not work this morning. Here is what I did to recover this time:
Uninstalled Premier Elements 8. Deleted my personal setting, and also "smart sound".
Rebooted my PC.
Installed Premier Element 8 from the CD.
Rebooted my PC
Things were still not quite right. In fact the bug appeared to still be there, but all of a sudden it started showing me the window after the project was loaded. Sigh. I will never launch that little startup program again (the one behind the desktop icon), and only open ".prel" files directly. Not sure if that will help or not, but at least it takes one variable out of the startup procedure.
I wish that I could tell you how to reproduce the bug, but in fact I do not know what I do to provoke it. My PC is
- Dell XPS9000 (Intel i7, 3.33GHz, 12GB ram, 4.5 TB disk)
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Two 24 inch LCD displays
- Runs several Adobe programs (like PS, LR, Acrobat).
Don't get me wrong: I love Adobe software. You are the best in the graphic arts industry. That's why I buy and run your stuff. But when I have a deadline hanging over my head, and I have to spend 1/2 day getting the software to just come up, I get crazy and want to herd feed animals for a living! Maybe I'll have to do that if the economy does not improve in 2011...
Thanks, Ole Pa

Premiere Elements 8 can't open any project

Hello,
I am running Premiere Elements 8 (fully-paid version) and trying to open a project which I created last night. But I'm finding I can't open any project. On the welcome screen, when I click on "Open Project", I get a pull-down menu (as expected):
But no matter what option I select (even "Open..."), I get the same result: The "Open Project" button turns into a wait-bar for a minute or two:
...and then "Open Project" simply reappears without anything else happening.
I also tried a different approach, going to the .prel file in Windows and double-clicking it. But again, nothing happened.
My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium. The hardware is a 64-bit, HP p6310y with an AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor, 2.8 GHz, with 6 GB of RAM.
Any suggestions?

Can't open my project, after Animate crashed

Hi!
After Animate crashed with error, I can't open my project. I have the following error message, when trying to open it:
"Loading Failed, please check your page for JavaScript errors".
I'm using Animate v.2014.1 under Win7.
Does anybody knows, how to deal with it, and restore my files?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, EA doesn't allow the user to create items with the same name. If you try to create an identical name, for instance in renaming, it reverts to the previous name.
So how in the world can this even happen?
And so how can I correctly comb the code to fix it?

Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

Hi There,
After looking around for this error, it seems to be related to OS, we would recommend you to contact Apple support for this.

I can't open a report created in win XP on win2000

I can't open a report created in win XP on win2000
I created a report in winXP on SCOTT schemas and I tried at home to reopen the report.
I receive an error like UNABLE TO OPEN .....REP-0110.
I tried these reports on another computer with WINXP and they perfectly worked.
Only win2000 has this problem? Can I solve this problem without installing WinXP?
Thank you

there should be no difference, except if you reports versions on those two machines are different. have you tried the other way around, create a file on win2000 and try to open it on XP ? maybe the file gets corrupted during transfer or something.
thanks,
ph.
