Cannot open projects or import custom skins into RH*

Hi,
I just got a new laptop and I'm unable to open ANY projects or import custom skins into RH8. I was on 8 previously, but I cannot open my projects nor can I import skins. I click on Skins>import>choose the skin, then nothing. It's like it's not even recognizing I'm doing anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If you can't open a project, how are you getting to the File > Import > Skin menu item? Also can you give us some additional information about the laptop (e.g. the OS).

Cannot open projects or import

Hi,
My macbook pro HD crashed and I sent it in to mac to get replaced. I did a migrate to get all my data an applications back on to new HD. I migrated ilife 08 over during this. it seems all other ilife products are working except for imovie 08. the software opens but no projects open up and all the choices under "file" are greyed out except for import from camera. I have my camera attached but nothing is happening.
I have another macbook that has ilife on it but no problems with imovie. I know what I should be seeing when I open up imovie but there is nothing there. Thanks for help

I am still having a problem with this. Just got back form trip and would like to import my video from camera. Any help??

Photoshop files in FCE - Cannot Open Project

I have a series of Photoshop files (RGB with about 10 layers a piece).
I am able to import a file into FCE HD and move the layers around as tracks - everything works great.
I save the file, and close. When I try to re-open the file, I get the dreaded "Cannot open project file".
I have tried this with an external drive and saving to the desktop. I have also tried importing normal pictures - no problem. It's when I import layers. I have been able to isolate the problem to layered Photoshop files.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Any PS file that has transparency that is imported
into a PAL project will corrupt the file, so
that you cannot open it again. Sorry.
See this (9th post down) which showed that any file created in Photoshop with its type as ".psd", whether with or without transparency, will give this fault. However, a file created in Photoshop with .tif will be safe even if it has transparency.

Cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found cs4

I am using Encore CS4 and I get the error "cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found"
Having searched the forums I can not find a solution for when the project folder has been deleted.
Can someone tell me the solution to this issue.

If you deleted the Encore directory, you cannot fix this. You'll have to start over.
Encore creates this folder structure:
Root or some other Folder
MyProject.ncor (the Encore project FILE)
MyProject (the Encore project directory)
Other Folders for the Encore project (e.g. Cache, Sources)
You can get the "the folder for this project cannot be found" in various ways.
There have been two recent threads in which the user, by accident or on purpose, changed the folder location or name. You can fix this by renaming the folder correctly or moving it back (or moving the Encore project file to the correct relative position).
Folder was renamed. If you name the folder "MyProjectX" Instead of "MyProject," the project file "MyProject.ncor" can't find it.
Encore project file was moved - or Encore directories were moved. If you move "MyProject.ncor" to some other directory or drive (including inside the folder "MyProject"), it can't find the directory - it is looking one directory level below where the project file is located.
If you delete the Encore project directories, the stuff that Encore uses that projects menus, motion, etc, are gone. While many of its instructions are inside the project file itself, many are not. Some of the deleted material might be recreated (e.g. trying to fake Encore into accepting a copy of a menu), but most cannot.

Pr CC / Mac - Cannot open project!!!

'08 MacPro w/ OS X 10.7.5 - Pr CC v7.0.0 (was up to date but uninstalls/reinstalls)
I have been natively editing a multicam project for the last 2weeks:
* 3Cams = 2 Panasonic AVCHD + 1 JVC GY-HM150U ProHD .mp4
I'm finished with the MultiCam and am now editing the last 2mins of my 2hour project when... Pr CC CRASHED! It just dissapeared!!
When I try to reopen the CC project, I get: "The project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file of codec could be associated with this sequence type."
When I start a new CC project and try to import the JVC GY-HM150U ProHD .mp4 footage, I get: "Unsupported format or damaged file."
I have tried Uninstalling/Reinstalling Pr CC over & over but I am still unable to open the project or import the footage into a new project. I am also unable to update Pr CC via Application Manager: "Update Failed. Updates could not be applied. This patch is not applicable for you."
As we all know, the Pr CC project will not open directly in Pr CS. No matter because now I'm being asked to enter my SN/Activate CS which is unable to connect to the internet. (I'm writing this via my connection to the internet)
** I've been at this for 2days now!!!
** Support has been frustrating at best.
Anyone experienced this?
Any thoughts on how to get it all straightened out?
I may have to set aside time to redo my entire system as troubleshooting is too frustrating, confusing, and time consuming.
If I were to upload the Pr CC project file to my Dropbox... would some kind soul Download/Open it... and export an XML of the final sequence (07_ReCap), which I can then open in FCP?
(or at least tell if there is another problem besides the preview CoDec)

Hey man! I've been struggling with this issue for over a month and i finally solved the problem. Open the damaged project file with "TextWrangler" or any other notepad alike app and by pressing cmd + f find the 12 rows starting with
"<MZ.Sequence."
and now open a not damaged project file with the text editor and find the same 12 rows. Copy and paste the ones from the working project file to the damaged one and save the file. If everything done right, then it should be working now Hope this helped
the rows should look something like this
<MZ.Sequence.AudioTimeDisplayFormat>200</MZ.Sequence.AudioTimeDisplayFormat>
<MZ.Sequence.EditingModeGUID>cc7991f5-c236-4db1-957e-2c71f924e81c</MZ.Sequence.EditingMode GUID>

How to import Custom idoc into IR?

I have a custom idoc and i need to map it with the receiver format after importing into IR . Please let me know the sequence of steps to import custom idoc into Integration repository?
I think I need to first import into IDX2 and then import into repository. Am I correct?

Hi Prateek,
thanks for the information .The normal standard idocs we import by searching the idoc eg- for importing matmas we type mat and we search it, since it is a standard idoc it will be available in the list (after selecting the chek box "Import of idoc or rfc interfaces from sap system permitted").
But my question is how we import custom idoc as they wont be present in the list?

You cannot open projects in FCP. You need to update your projects and events for the new version. Read about it. Start here

Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
When I try to open the file I get the following error message:

I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
Or, Google
convert mjpeg avi
To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

Cannot open project file with write access...

I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
I have my project file in an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
"Cannot open project file with write access. The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location. Select Save As..."
I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
FYI both computers use Windows 7.
Any solutions?

Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

LV RTE cannot open project files that have .lvlib references in Dependencies

I'm writing a LabVIEW DLL to inspect LabVIEW project files, and I've noticed that if a project has a .lvlib reference in its Dependencies, then the Run-Time Engine contradicts itself about whether or not it can find the project file:
Project.Open returns error 7 (file not found)
Project.GetFileLVVersion is successful
Here are snippets from my G and C code that exercise this behavior:
int openStatus = StatusSuccess;
char* projectVersion = createStringWithLength(VersionStringLength);
printf("Analyzing %s\n", pathString);
OpenProject(pathString, &openStatus, projectVersion, VersionStringLength);
printf(" Project written in LabVIEW %s\n", projectVersion);
if (openStatus == StatusSuccess)
printf(" Opened project file.\n");
else
printf("Error: Could not find project file, or file was not a project file (error code %i).\n", openStatus);
However, when running in the development environment, both methods succeed.
Is this a bug, and if so, is it fixed in LabVIEW 2014?
Here is how you can reproduce it:
Prerequisites:

Here is another way to trigger this behavior, which also shows that LabVIEW only sometimes tidies the Dependencies item:
Open "OpenProject.lvproj" in LabVIEW.
Add a new VI to the project and place the "Application Directory" file path constant its block diagram.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)" and use the default name for the new VI.
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is an error again, as is expected.
Remove the "Application Directory" file path constant.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice the problem is gone, as is expected.
Re-add the "Application Directory" file path constant to the block diagram.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is no problem, which is surprising as there should be an error since the Dependencies item hasn't been tidied.
Close the new VI and remove it from the project.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Open "OpenProject.lvproj" in a text editor.
Notice the Dependencies item has been tidied.
Re-add the VI back to the project.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is an error again, as is expected.
Solved!

The same behavior occurs in LabVIEW RTE: a new project with an Application Directory constant in a blank vi will return error 7 - file not found, but still return the correct version of LabVIEW in which the project was created.
I've been experimenting with workarounds for this behavior, and I found one.
When I provide the LabVIEW path for libdir in my executable's ini file, the run-time is able to load and inspect the project file.
libdir="C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013"
While it's expected that a stand-alone executable may be placed on a system that doesn't have the LabVIEW IDE, it's still surprising to me that the Run-Time Engine cannot find LabVIEW's standard library without some explicit guidance. What other considerations contribute to that behavior?

Error: Cannot open project file

Does that error message mean I am trying to open a project file that was created with a version of FCP that is later than what I operate with?
Also, where did the FCP FAQ section go?
PowerMac G4 desky 867MHz 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.2.x) FCP 3.0.4

Are you trying to open a project created by a later version? (using FCP 4.5 to open a project created in FCP 5 for example)
If so, it can't ge done. The best you can do is export an XML of the cut (only the cut) that the previous version can then import.
#27 Getting a FCP 5 project to open in FCP 4.5
Shane's Stock Answer #27: How do I export my FCP 5 project so that someone can work with it in FCP 4.5?
Final Cut Pro 5 projects are not backwards compatible. What that means is that a project created in FCP 5 cannot be opened by previous versions. The previous version cannot recognize the formatting and code of the newer version. You can go from FCP 4.5 5o 5, but it will reformat your project file, so if you want to have a 4.5 version best to duplicate it and convert the duplicate.
You can, however, export the sequence from FCP 5 so that it will open in FCP 4.5 if you follow these steps:
1) Select all in the Browser
2) Choose File>Export>XML
3) Make sure you choose XML version 1 in the following dialog box
4) Launch FCP4.5 and create a new project
5) With that project's Browser open and active, import the XML

Cannot open project file in Project 2010

Hi,
I have a project created in Project 2010. I can save it without any problems. But some saves are broken and I cannot open them again. When I open saved project an error message is displayed:
There was a problem sending the command to the program and Project freezes. Project 2010 itself starts without any problems. What's strange I can open this file in viewers like MOOS Project Viewer 2.0 but not in Project.
Any tips highly
appreciated.

Hi Lukasz,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)
It sound as though that project has corruption. If you can open it at all, follow the advice given below. If you can’t open it at all, it seems like it’s lost – you do have a backup don’t you?
If you can open it in another program, try copy/paste the data back into a new project.
If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. Handling project file corruption and/or bloat.
FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address:

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)
