Cannot re open recent project??

I've just tried to open a recent project in GarageBand but it has come up "file not found". It shows all the regions but there is nothing there. Can anyone help??
Tim

Well, here is the solution to my own problem. I give it to you in case you get the same problem one day.
The solution is as simple as impossible to find on your own: launch Bridge before launching Encore! Yes, that's it. If Bridge is running when you start Encore and open your project, it all works just fine.
In my case, the project was a bit damaged as many files where not located properly. I just hit the "Skip all" button when prompted and got into my project. Then I re-assigned each unfound file (in italic) with the original one. That was quite easy in the end.
I find it incredible that Encore will work only when Bridge is launched. In that case, I can only recommend to have plenty of RAM. In all cases it is a nasty bug.
I hope it will help someone some day.
Cheers.

Opening Recent Projects

I am having trouble finding recent projects that are no longer listed in the drop down list of "Open Recent Projects". How can I find them?

Just to expand on what Joe, Harm and Bill advise, if you find the PROJ files on your C or Boot drive you may what to change the preferences so that all Premiere files etc are on at least one dedicated media drive
On my laptop I have CS5.5
On the "D" drive I created a folder called Adobe_CS and it is to this folder that I set the preferences so all projects, auto save, preview, media cache and my media files are kept within this folder. This is a little messy as everything is in the one folder and from time to time a clean up is required
Bill's method if I read it correctly will require you to create a folder for each project and then set the project preferences to use the newly created folder. Then each folder will be at the same level and within it will be the project file, media cache, previews, auto saves etc which are related to just that project
This is actually a great system as when you have completed the project you can if you wish archive the whole folder and then delete the original
On a desktop the arrangment can be different depending upon how many drives you have available

Increase number of "open recent" projects

Is it possible to do this? I went through the preferences, but didn't see a choice. I could have missed it, as I'm partially blind. Bummer!
TIA.

Hi there
To my knowledge there is no way to control the number of projects stored in the Open Recent list. Once the number of project exceeds whatever number is the limit, the oldest project disappears from the list.
If you would like to advise Adobe that you would like to see such a feature in a future update, please click the link below and complete the request.

Opening recent project sees it totally empty !

Premiere Pro CS3
Just opened a project I had last worked on and completed in Feb 2010 and its totally empty, nothing in timeline, no assets, nothing !
Hells Bells !
I had finished it and created an avi then authored and burned a dvd from that. It displayed with cropping. Now having sussed that issue after trying out various options (solved by adding in black margins) I need to alter the images within the project to those with the margins, but everything is missing.
Searched the entire PC for *.prproj and this project is the one I had worked on.
Thats very worrying if Premiere can wipe out ones work like that. I see another posting also had the same trouble.
I tried resetting work area to default, not that I had altered it from such anyway, but made no difference.
Any ideas, else I have to do the entire project all over again.
In future I shall save as filename_s1 then s2 then s3 as I go along !
Envirographics

It came from right next to the S, to the right actually.
Maybe it was the fact that I have already declared "wine-thirty" here, but I had to laugh. Just glad that I did not have a mouthful of my Chalone Pinnacles Chardonnay, when I read that. Maybe I had begun the wine tasting, when my feeble fingers found that "d" key in the first place... ?
Thank you for the chuckle. Maybe I need one of those keyboard covers for hazardous environments?

Problem with opening recent projects

Hello all,
I've been working on a project on FCP since july and I've been saving it to an external HD since then.
There's been 3-4 other projects I've worked on along the way, and I've tried to keep everything organized and saved properly (I.e. I always set my scratch disk to the external before editing and saving)
Every once in a while I will open FCP after plugging my external in to edit my project and it will not open in the bin!! When I go to file > open to find the project there are no recently saved projects that I had worked on the day before but instead months ago!
In short, what happened to my project file? I tried searching my external and even my laptop's HD to look for the most recently modified/saved project but to no avail!
Is there anyway to retrieve it?? I made many important edits the other day and I hate the idea of starting all over losing months and months of edit time!!

Problem solved I Found the sequence! It turned up in another project's folder!

CC 14 crashes on Mac after opening recent project

So after hours of work yesterday, Premiere Pro CC 14 gave me the dreaded Mac spinning wheel of death. No error messages, it just wont respond. Relaunched. Rebooted. Repaired discs. Installed updates. Reinstalled program.
Nothing/
Launch and create a new project, or open a very early auto save version, but the version I need won't launch.
Ideas?

I got the same issues after upgraded from Illustrator CC to Illustrator CC2014 on 10.10.2

Rexy,
What startup items folder did you look in?
Login items for each user are set in System
Preferences>Accounts>Login Items.
Is that where you looked?
Matt
I looked in System Folder>Startup Items , which was empty, you were correct !
Thanks alot Matt for helping me solve this problem.

DVD Studio Pro not opening recent projects or able to apple menus/templates

Hi,
I am having a serious issue. For some reason DVDSP is not allowing me to open any former projects. I click on the file to open in DVDSP and it tries to load all of the menus and it just stalls. Then I tried to create a new file. Open the app and it looked fine. I was able to import assets, then when I tried to create a menu, I got a progress bar and it once again stalled with trying to apple the template.
I have several projects that I have to finish so......Please Help Me!! :/
Oh yes, I have MBP, 10.4.11, FCP 6.0.5, DVDSP 4.2.1. I'm about to do an update right now. Not sure if it will work though. So I'm guess I need to know if I have to uninstall/delete DVDSP and reinstall. If so, how do I do that??

"Recent" Project

When I open the inspector I see "RECENT" with last 12 months, last import, photo stream etc.
I also have a PROJECT showing that isn't recent, in fact its one of the older projects. What determines the recent project list and how can I modify it?

Wow. I just answered this in another thread :-)
OK, so the "recent" project listed there is the most one you double-clicked when you were viewing the "Projects" thumbnails for your projects in the Project view under Library.
You cannot change the "recent project" by selecting other projects in the Aperture sidebar.
So give that a try. As for why it works this way, I can't say, but I do know that's how it works, that it's working for me as I was told it's designed to work.

How can I get more than 5 items in my Recent Projects list?

After a rather horrendous incident with trying to do a series of videos all in one project using bins and shared media and a savefile that got *WAYYY* out of hand (20 minutes to load the file)- which I believe was tied to importing media from another .proj file, I have switched to a more modular approach with anywhere from 2-5 projects in each project and now a collection of around 15-25 projects on the go. Most of these are "work on a chapter, then change to another project while waiting for footage for another project" and several of them share pieces including multicam segments and sync'd audio.
Rather than importing from another project, I am using Control-C, switch to a different project file, then paste in. This isn't the most "Adobe Professional" style way of doing things, but considering that I lost several hours to trying to recover from the last project, even when I only needed to spend 20 minutes pumping out a rough cut, I'm not going back to that method until my next computer upgrade and until I begrudgingly switch to CC in around 1-1.5 year's time.
So the issue that I'm faced with is that I'm often using the Open Recent Project flyout and having 5 projects on that list is just not enough to be remotely useful.
In MS Office, the list is quite long and even in photoshop, I can get 10. That's enough for my Photoshop, but I switch projects using the Recent Projects list in Premiere a LOT more often. I could just use my explorer windows to jump around, but given that I have 5-6 explorer windows open per project most of which are folders crammed with footage, PSD stills and peak files, plus other non-video things I'm working on right now, that's really not the simplest way to navigate at a glance.
How can I get 10, 20 or 25 items in that flyout list instead of mucking about with 5?
I run Adobe Production Premium CS6.

I see a lot of people not reading the circumstances of what I said.
I did mention that currently I use the "explorer" method and it's kind of clumsy. Although I liked the idea of using shortcuts. I had thought about moving the files, but didn't think about shortcuts... considering everything on my desktop is a shortcut, I'm really not sure why I didn't think of that.
But I did mention that I almost always have anywhere from 12-15 windows open at any given time in my explorer. I am involved with management of 4 different companies right now, two of which are in startup mode. Videos are important for me, but not my only duty. These windows only go down when I shut down my computer, which happens on average once every 4 months. It is not a problem on a reasonably capable system.
Still, for a project of currently 23 files (just got increased to 28 and expected to rise to 32-35), and because I have had project files go sour on me, I keep some hierarchy and because I don't have 100% creative control over all my projects, I also occasionally have to do re-overs ie when a specific style of writ is nixed by a boss or customer. Those 23 project files also have version iterations.
So navigating 'at a glance' through a file explorer isn't always the most practical.
In the end, I'll probably try to find some time to re-organize my file structure using shortcuts.
Still, given the number of 'recent files' can be modified or is larger than 5 in: Windows Start Menu, Recent documents, Adobe PDF recent documents, Adobe Photoshop, All Office suite programs...
It's just weird that there's only 5 for a program intended for the kind of people that work on projects somewhat larger in scope than "hey, we took the dog to the park the other day".
@Jerry Klaimon - not sure what version of Premiere you're using, I'm using CS6 with Production Premium CS6. Recent files only shows 5. Photoshop shows 9. For my current workload, I'd probably want 10-12 and it would be nice if they could go to 20 or more IMHO. Look at History states. History states default to 20. I usually set this to 35 whenever I set up any user's computer. It's easy to choose what suits me from the preferences menu. I don't see why they wouldn't have the same idea for 'recent files'
@anyone who thinks I'm stupid - please feel free to insult me. A forum scuffle is often a great way to get the attention of moderators who might be in a position to pass this idea on to someone who could do something about it. I'm also anal, stubborn, holier-than-thou and not-as-smart-as-i-think-i-am if you want some ideas to get started .
@Steven Gotz - you are quite correct that asking is important. Probably a smarter thing to do before pestering the devs with feature requests is to thoroughly check to see if it is in fact already existing. Adobe products are famous for having features that nobody knows about. Most of the questions I have that Google or Lynda.com didn't answer have been answered here in the forums. Then once I've seen that a few hundred pairs of eyes sharper than mine have also come up with nothing, then perhaps it might be worthwhile sending in a feature request. In this case, I will probably toss a feature request in later, but I'll probably just use your idea of keeping a master project folder with shortcuts.
@MarkMapes - I do not have a problem loading files. Project files load just fine for me. But I have one project file that has a problem that loads a HUGE amount of RAM and takes nearly 20 minutes to open. It even takes almost 8 minutes to close it. It was acting as my master file with everything nested in sequences and I needed to spend a whole afternoon to pull those sequences out using copy-paste because bringing them in via Import Sequence brought the problem into the new file. I would file that under "glitched save files" rather than "slow loading".
@Jon-M-Spear - good idea too - although I did cringe a bit at the suggestion of putting things on the desktop. I have bad habits and I work very hard to try to make other people who have worse habits in this company to try to get them to not keep anything on the desktop. In fact, it's probably my favorite thing about Windows 7 that you can have a clear or nearly totally clear desktop.
Thanks for your comments folks.

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.

The project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version

I edited a project on CC on one computer and saved it on my external. My friend took the same project to edit it on her computer under her own name and licence. Both of us recently upgraded to CC. But the same project that worked a few hours back on Premiere Pro CC, does not work now also on Premiere Pro CC and I received a message saying: The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." Can you please help us.?

Reason: Your title was too long.

Hi alexxxkid,
You should be able to import the xml into an earlier version.
Backward compatibility has never been there with Premiere and it is always recommended not to update in the middle of a project.
As far as the crash is concerned, please tell me more about it so that i can help you to the best of my knowledge.
Thanks,
Rameez

"The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." - Except it wasn't!

Last night I saved a project I've been working on for a couple of days. It's been fine all along. Today, when I went to open it, it's no longer listed in the recently opened files on startup and i get this message:
"The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version."
Except it wasn't! I use Premiere CC and it's been fine all along. I can no longer open it at all...
Any thoughts? Very frustrating!

One more item. In using PP CC2014 for the first time with this project, I have run into multiple issues making this project very frustrating. When adding a sequence to the master sequence, I have to render the audio each time in order to see all of the audio waves. You have to keep doing this over and over, even though you've already rendered a sequence already.
I am getting error messages when rendering the project saying there are issues compiling the movie. Getting same type error message if I try to export. I narrowed it down to two sequences keeping the program from rendering without the error messages. They each had a tiff file. I deleted them and they rendered. Not sure what this issue was with these particular files since I have other tiff files in the project. Once the rendering of all sequences was done, all the individual sequences were closed and the master was the only one open. I didn't close them. So now to edit any of the sequences I have to go back and open them.
The only thing this project has in it are titles created in PP, a few graphics, mostly tiff tiles and some jpeg and the dissolve effect. That's it. Seems like they should have done more with this version before putting it out there. Maybe that's why there are two separate applications for PP? Who knows. I will be uninstalling PP CC2014 when this project is complete.

USB failure: "The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened." CS2

First of all - yes, I'm using CS2. I can't afford to buy a newer version at the moment, so I'm living in the past.
Second of all -- I am committing several egregious sins that would make my past video editing teachers cringe: I was editing directly off my USB, and I didn't make the occasional iterated file-name save as I ought to have. I realize this is rather poor planning on my part, but my lack of harddrive space (and USB disk space, honestly) dictated my actions more than my better judgement.
After saving a file -- not experiencing any crashes, mind you -- I went to edit one of the unrelated clips in After Effects to import into Premiere, because I had a few fancier things I'd wanted to do before importing it. Upon finishing the clip to my satisfaction and exporting it, I returned to my Premiere Pro project, only to be greeted with the following error:
"The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
So, into the wonderful world of autosaves I go (because there is only so much advice I can stand to ignore, and the autosaves are one feature I turn off only when absolutely positively desperate) -- except the autosaves all appear to be similarly affected, much to my dismay.
Advice? Is my work unrecoverable? Is it a matter of looking for USB repair software? Is there some trick I can employ to let it load whatever parts are not corrupted, and fix whatever is? The file certainly seems large enough to contain at least some useful information, though I know that means almost nothing in the world of oh-my-gosh-what-did-I-just-do-fix-this-ack-is-this-the-end-etc-etc computer errors.

OK I've tried to make sense of this an to troubleshoot it myself. I've spent lots of time trying to find a solution relevant to the problem, but so far have not. Seems time to submit and see what help there may be.
I'm using Premiere Pro 3 on a HP desktop with 3.0 GHz chip, w 4 GB sys memory using MS WinXP. It's sold as a "media PC".
There's a 2TB WD MyBook external drive attached by fire wire to the desktop PC (PC A). The desktop PC has 150GB hard drive and a high end graphics card that supports dual monitors. I've been editing with this rig over 2 years with no problem.
I have various other external hard drives I've been using with no problem, including another MyBook 2TB, an Iomega 500GB, and 3 or 4 small WD Passport type hard drives with 400GB to 500GB apiece. I have two laptops that meet the system requirements for using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. Both have PPro CS 3 installed.
Recently, I started getting a message when opening PPro projects on this drive using the desktop PC: "project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened".
In the past, this message has happened occassionally. When it did, I'd retrieve a file from the Premiere Auto save directory and just continue on with no problem. More recently - this past weekend - I suddenly found all the PPro projects on the 2TB external drive generate the same "project damaged" message when I try to open them.
I have various PPro projects in progress on other external drives used on other PC's. So I opened PPro project files on another drive with the same desktop PC A with no problem. All projects on other drives open OK on the desktop PC.
So it seems the desktop PC is not causing the "projects damaged" problem.
Then I used a different PC - one of my laptops that has the same PPro software installed - same version installed off the same disc. Using the project files on the 2TB - the drive that seems to generate the "files damaged" messages, has no problem opening on one the laptop PCs. So it appears the 2TB external drive is not source of the problem since it works with PCs besides the desktop.
It would be great to diagnose the problem so I could get a solution, but getting a diagnosis seems to defy logic.
The project files on external 2TB drive - when used with the desktop - don't work
The project files on different external drive, when used with the desktop - work OK
So the desktop is not causing the problem, because PPro project files on other drives work fine on the desktop.
So maybe it's the 2TB drive that's the problem.
The same project files on the 2TB drive - where the "projects damaged" message happens - work OK on either of the two laptop PCs.
The projects on the 2TB drive all open with no problem on the laptop PCs.
Since the project files on drive the 2TB drive work fine on both laptop PC's, the 2TB drive is not the source of the problem either.
Just to be sure, I completely uninstalled the entire Creative CS3 Suite from PC A the desk top and completely reinstalled it.
Same problems, uninstalling and reinstalling the software makes no difference.
o Using PPro project files on the 2TB drive, with the desktop, generates the "projects damaged" message.
o Using PPro project files on the other drives, with the desktop, generates NO "projects damaged" message.
o Using the PPro project files on the 2TB drive with other PCs generates NO "projects damaged" message.
Hope this makes sense. The symptons certainly don't Thanks for whatever advice and feedback can be shared. GWDMRG
