Cannot save a project once animation is added

When I try to save a file after adding animation (swf), the
file doesn't save but it acts like it does.
I've checked the default folder to make sure I didn't just
save the file to the wrong place.
Is this a known issue and is there a workaround? I found the
workaround for the drop-down menus disappearing after you add
animation - which was very helpful!
Running Captivate 2 on WinXP SP2. This is on my desktop and
all files are local.

Hi again
Where exactly is this folder? Are you able to post or send
along a screen capture of Windows Explorer with the folder contents
visible?
Additionally, What type of .SWF are you adding? Is it one of
the stock animations that ships with Captivate or something of your
own or another's creation?
Cheers... Rick

Soundtrack Pro 3 Cannot Save On Project Build

All, I have been fighting a problem all weekend. STP is unable to save my large project. Before I give up and tell my friend to mix the project on his Windows machine because my MAC can't do it, I'd figure I try one last post here to see if anyone has ideas that I haven't tried (and I've been searching the posts too.) Here goes:
I have an IMAC 3.06 Core2 DUO with 4GB memory. I have two external GRAID FW800 drives. All disks have plenty of space on them. The project is on the MAC HDD and the audio files are on the external GRAID 4GB FW800 drive. I am running STP 3.0.1.
I am mixing a Christmas service that has up to 33 audio 24 bit AIFF files. The files were originally provided to me in a WAV format. I also have a reference HD 1040i24P reference movie MOV with accompanying referenced soundtrack. The service is about 1 hour 10 minutes long. The tracks run continuously through the entire service.
The problem is that I can't add all the tracks and get STP to save my work. When I attempt to save, the system pauses for a moment and then comes back. I can see the free memory dip as it attempts to save and then the free memory goes back up. I receive no indication that the save has occurred. However, I do watch the project file in the finder. When the non-save failure occurs, the project time stamp is not updated. It is updated on successful saves of course. If I attempt to save a second time after the non-save event, I get the pinwheel and it's all over. Or I get an error, "Uncaught Exception". I get the log file and typically it says the application has hanged (hung?).
OK - here are the specifics if you care to suffer through this thread further:
-I can add about 10 tracks and save the project ok. It saves - the time stamp increments and I continue. As I add more and more tracks the problem occurs sometimes at the 15th track, sometimes higher (but I never get them all added.)
- I have mixed the tracks in the WAV format and in the Apple native AIFF format (Used compressor to convert them all). The typical WAV file is 673MB. The typical AIFF is 976MB.
-I have opened two clean projects, added five at a time to one project (call that the source) and copied and pasted the 5 tracks to the final project. I would delete the 5 tracks from the source project, added 5 more to it, selected copied them all, went the final project, made sure I had one blank track at the bottom, pasted the tracks to the playhead (STP notifies me it needs to add tracks - I acknowledge) and then SAVED SUCCESSFULLY. I repeated this process and it got me the furthest - reaching all the way to the 33rd track when it refused to save - same error (ugh!). In this case, I did this without the movie in the project figuring if I could mix just the audio, I could get by imaging the video piece.
I've tried several things though these exploits. None of these have fixed the issue.
- Added a few tracks at a time, saved, added move, saved (watching the date stamp) until I get to about the 20th track at which time I get the save problem.
- Converted the 24 bit tracks to 16 bit AIFF files using compressor - same result (doesn't matter if I am mixing WAV or AIFF.)
- Started new projects, to attempt a clean slate - same failure
- Watched my memory closely through the process. Closed all applications to insure I have free memory left. Between free and inactive, never had an issue although I have seen free go close to 100 MB a few times.
- Trashed my preferences
- Verified and fixed disk permissions on IMAC drive and external drives.
- Moved the audio files to another external drive to insure it is not a drive issue. The disk activity seems to peak at 20MB/Sec but is not consistent.
- I make sure there are no non-alpha numeric characters in the file name (no dashes or slashes.)
One of the 'Unexpected Problem' failure messages I have received is the following: "NSMallocException * -[NSConcreteMutableData appendBytes:length]: unable to allocate memory for length (30555608). This occurs even though I have about 500MB between Free and Inactive memory showing.
My conclusion in all of this is that STP has an internal memory allocation limit and depending on the state of the system at the time, memory is misallocated or mis-read. I have plenty of log files to send in case Apple is watching this thread.
Thanks for anyone's help. Hopefully, the Apple discussion thread would crash when I press 'Post Message.'
Happy New Year!
Chris

OK guys, I did another test. System:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Results: Crash & burn.
First I attempted to open one of my prior projects that would no longer save. The project opened but would not save. To this I attributed to a corrupted project and moved on.
Second, I opened a new project (after force quitting) and opened the prior project. I copied and pasted all the tracks into the new project. I attempted to save the new project - no joy. I forced quit. (Ok - I was being lazy on building the project so I went to test 3.)
Third (and final test): I built the project from scratch, saving along the way. No problem on the saves up to 25 tracks. I put the final 8 tracks in (up to 33) and went to save. THE PROJECT WON'T SAVE. At the time, I had 3.53GB of free memory. Apple, if you are watching, I sent the crash report for this machine at about 4:30 PST.
So, the problem is not free memory. It is in the way STP is allocating memory. The issue isn't a corrupted track as I have added the tracks in various orders with the same result.
The only option I have is to mix down tracks. I'll start with the drums (10 mics) and go from there.
Shucks.
Chris
Post note - I saw very little performance difference between my dual core 3.06 with 4 GB and this machine. STP just does not use the assets at its disposal. The processor barely gets above 14 percent....

Cannot save a project in LPX

Logic keeps telling me it cannot save my file. Is anyone else having this problem?

If you've not got enough spare HDD space, or System RAM when attempting to save Logic will throw up that error in my experience.
Not used VEP, but i'm guessing that by it's nature of hosting other plugins and sample libraries it can be quite a memory hog? Depending on usage of course.
Is it possible that perhaps you didn't have enough available system RAM to complete the save? If you find yourself in that situation again, try disabling the audio engine and/or removing some plugins to give yourself a bit of headroom. It's better than losing your work!
How much RAM do you have installed out of interest?

The save button has a null sign through it and we cannot save the project

For the last 45 minutes the save button does not work. The project link button will not let us share, use or view source. There is a null sign through it as well as through the save button.

Did you Sign In first, before starting your project?
Could you provide the screenshot of that?

I cannot save text I've added to my project

Help! I added text (horizontal type mask tool) to my project, and when I am done, it is selected. When I deselect it, it disappears. I cannot save the text at all. How can I save the text to my project?

Thats because you use the mask tool not the normal text tool. With a selection you would then need to fill that selection with a color. Keep in mind that filled text would be pixel based and is not live text.

Cannot save PPro CS4 project created on another PC

Another editor told me to delete the pref files but I'm double checking first.
I brought across several projects created with CS3 and CS4 on another PC. All open and eventually load after I find all the media (the projects are > 250 gig. The one I need (always the way, ain't it) will open but not even any of the auto-saved versions will Save. I left it overnight and nada. I click cancel and PPro crashes. What is the solution?
SuperMicro server Motherboard
2 quad xeons
16 gig RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
AVID RTR 320x /UL4D SCSI RAID for media
Quadro FX 3800 video card
All suggestions are welcomed with gratitude.
Peter B

Out of desperation I resurrected a machine that can mount the Matrox RTX2 and will try to open the wretched project with the machine it originated on. When the project tries to load on the Super Micro server box it warns all sorts of what appear to be Matrox plugins and effects are missing so maybe that is the key. I've never seen that little red dot with the X on it before nor the yellow caution sign that precedes it while the media is loading. From now on all projects on the SuperMicro unit will start their lives as AJA format so we can use the $6,000 Braodcast HD monitor I bought in 2008 but haven't actually used for HD other than checking footage from the PDW700 via HD/SDI.
Hope I can open the project because I suspect there will be serious consequences if I do not.
cheers,

Subject: Cannot save PPro CS4 project created on another PC
I can only give you the location for PrPro 2.0 on XP-Pro. Sure that there are some changes, but maybe this will get you started: C:\Documents & Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\2.0 and the file is "Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs" w/o an extension. If one "trashes the Prefs," then the Adobe program will just rebuild them with the defaults. There is also a keystroke combo, to use when launching the program. Unfortunately, almost all Adobe programs are different. I think that PrPro is hold down Shift, launch program (while holding down Shift), until it launches fully. For PS it is ShiftCtrlAlt and one gets a dialog screen, asking if one wishes to delete the Preferences - IIRC, PrPro does not have such a dialog.
For the manual trashing of the Prefs, just rename the Prefs file (should be named in a very similar fashion in CS4 and Win7), to say Old-prefs, for backup. Launch CS4, and the Prefs will be re-written.
Good luck,

Cannot save and keep sound embedded with the project

I am working on a movie with 1 short video downloaded clip and many jpeg stills as a trial for a larger school project. I have put sound into the project and saved the project. I can listen to the sound However when I save on my school server I cannot open the project up on a computer that has PE and has a burner for me to burn a CD. I have rendered the project. When I attempt to open the project PE states it cannot locate the source of the music. I put the sound in the same folder. I can view the movie, and pictures but the project still cannot find the sound. Please help! Thanks.

None of the Premiere versions, or programs, work well on networkds. You will have better luck if you store your Project on an external, with the proper drive letter assignation and the media files, things will be better for you.
I use a 2TB external with the PREL (Project files), all media and these are each assigned the same drive letter in the OS of all of my editing machines. So long as the drive letter does not change (you MUST set it in the OS of each machine), things work perfectly.
You may wish to contact Adobe Tech Support, regarding the school's network, most people have insurmountable difficulties trying to do so.
Good luck, and please report back, as schools often attmept to use Premiere and Elements on any network.

Cannot save Premiere Pro CS6 project to our server. Keep getting error message.

We have just replaced/renewed all of our workstations and server. PC. Started using the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription service. Absolutely love the software BUT we have one rather big problem I can't figure out...When we create a new project in Premiere it keeps popping up with this error message: "Could not open the project file with write access. The file may be locked or you may not have permission to write to this location. Select 'Save As' from the File menu to save the project to a new location". Our IT consultant has double checked and made sure that all of our workstations have full write access to the server. At this stage, Premiere is only letting us save our projects to an external hard drive or on the workstation hard disk. This is not satisfactory. We need to be able to save to the server. Has anyone come across this problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

As far as I know, you can't do what you want

Cannot re-open project after Out of Memory message

Hi,
Problem with Encore CS3.
Here is my problem: I have spent about 2 weeks working on a DVD project made of 2h movie (about 100 files and 2h of subtitles) and about 20 slideshows with a few hundred pictures and music for each slideshow. There are about 15 pages of menus and submenus. All in all it was getting longer and longer to save and open but it was okay.
I eventually tried to produce the DVD in a hard drive folder. Then, after about 14h of computation I got the message "Out of memory". I had to quit at that point. Since then I cannot open the project anymore!
When I open the project I get a window telling me how long it will take to open the project (with an incredibly wrong estimate by the way), once reached the 100%, it never gives me control back anymore. I have to kill the process with the task manager. I have tried to let it work for hours but that does not change much.
The hardware configuration is the following:
At the crash time: Windows XP pro SP2, Duo core processor, 2 GB RAM, a couple of 500GB hard drives connected in USB.
I have since added 2 more GB RAM and now have 4GB with 3.4GB detected (as we all know Windows 32 cannot handle the full 4GB). I thought the add of the memory would make a difference. It does not! Encore uses up to 1.5GB of Ram while trying to open the project (the task manager tells me).
I have tried many many times to re-open my project as I spent too much time on it to give-up easily.
I actually managed to reopen the project a couple of times in a kind of degraded mode by removing some files from the "Transcodes" directory. I then get an error message and sometimes manage to get in. I managed twice amd twice immediately saved the project under a new name (over 7GB of files).
The problem is: I have got a couple of error message while trying to re-setup the project as I left it (remember it was a degraded mode with missing files). I never managed to go to the build stage again and I cannot reopen my project consistently. I now have 3 versions of it. None is working. I am back to starting point, unable to open the project.
If anyone has a solution to recover my project, it is much more than welcome! I hate the idea to start from scratch again. If I have to do so, I am seriously thinking to switch to Vegas and DVD architect because Premiere is unable to handle my new HDV files and I start to be fed-up with all the CS3 bugs. Saying that learning these 2 tools was long enough to not wish to learn 2 new ones.
Thanks for taking time to read all my message.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

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.

JDeveloper extension: how to save JDeveloper project with custom folders

Hi!
Iâm trying to add some custom folders/nodes to the project.
This code
Class MyFolder extends DefaultContainer
// another class
private void AMethod()
     JProject project;
     MyFolder folder = new MyFolder (name);
     project.add (folder, true);
adds a folder perfectly. But I cannot save added folder in the project, i.e. when I reopen my project there are no folder.

What version of JDev are you using?
Are you using projects with the setting "scan source path for project content?"
In any case here is some general information.
The class MyFolder must be a java bean. That is it must
have a default constructor (i.e., MyFolder()) and since
it must remember the name, it must have two accessor methods that get and set the folder name (i.e.,
public String getName(), and public void setName( String name )). The project saving mechanism will save this information in the project file and reload the information when the project is re-opened. Note that any two public method name get/setXXX are used by JDev to save and restore information about a project child.

Captivate 4-Unable to Edit or Save a Project

Hi,
I am creating a CBT using Captivate 4. There are two slides so far and the size of the project is 1,901 kb. One slide in the project has six click boxes with multiple actions and has five animations included in it which are hidden until the user clicks a click box. The concept works wonderfully, however, I am now unable to edit or save the project. I cannot finish it at this point. Captivate will not allow me to add any additional buttons, click boxes, highlight boxes, new slides and so on. It also will not allow me to delete any unused items from the library, or save the edits I made up to that point.
I have tried the following, closing the project, closing Captivate and restarting my computer. I have also imported the slides into a new project with the same outcome. I have copied and pasted the slides into a new project with the same outcome. I have also tried to do a save as and it will not allow that either. There are no error messages. The project is not save on the network, it is on my C:Drive. I have had to restart the project several times and has this happened with each project. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wendy

Right click on the folder, then select "Get Info"
Click the lock at the bottom to give yourself access to the permissions settings for this folder. A dialog will appear so you can enter your login name and password:
Now select your user name at the bottom (mine is wayne), set the read write permissions to "Read & Write" using the pop-up menu, then click the sprocket at the very bottom of the window and select "Apply to enclosed items..." from the pop-up menu. The click the lock again.

'PortfolioBacklogs' cannot appear more than once if content model type is "all"

I'm trying to add another level above feature and have followed these instructions https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn217880.aspx
The project is setup as scrum not agile, maybe that is why???, but I get the following error:

Hi Dckennedy1,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS? TFS 2013 Update 4? Your current team project created using default Scrum 2013.4 process template?  After which step you received this error? You can share your error screenshot(s) here.
I created a new Scrum 2013.4 template team project in my TFS 2013 Update 4 Server, and followed the steps in that document to add Initiatives work item type in my TFS Web Access, the Initiatives work item type be added into portfolios successfully, you can
refer to the below screenshot:

Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

Hello. We're using FormsCentral extensively. We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people. Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content. Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit. The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form". What is causing this? Please help as it is causing us many problems.

Thanks for the quick response. We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions. They then pass the form to one other person who edits. All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
I think the problem is with Mac users. Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader? If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue. It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
Thanks!

VB6 - can't save a project with flash.ocx control - why won't Adobe fix?

After a full day of research, this seems to be an ongling problem for at least a year now.   VB6 developers who have gone in to do maintenance on their applications that call flash.ocx are finding that they can no longer save their projects because of some change that was introduced by Adobe in the release following flash10e.ocx. In another post here http://forums.adobe.com/message/2931807#2931807 a work around is given of uninstalling flash and installing any version on or before 100452. Because the applications still run fine until the developer tries to make a change and save the VB6 project, the scope of this problem has probably not been fully realized. For this reason, this issue will likely only gain momentum in the future.
I spent the morning contacting several people at Adobe and I discovered the only way apparently to get support for this issue is to open a "web case".   From further research, what I understand a "web case" costs around $200 and with that price there is nothing telling me what comes with a "web case". I mean, if I were to buy one, would the problem be fixed or would they research it and say "I am very sorry but we are not going to fix that".   If there is a guarantee that the problem will be fixed, then can Adobe establish a pool where the $200 cost can be shared by everyone who has the issue?   That couldn't be more than a buck or two each because if you google this problem "System Error &H80004005 using flash.ocx" you will find about 5 pages of people reporting the problem.
Microsoft reports that a System Error &H80004005 error can normally be fixed by chaning the OCX in this manner:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223152
Sounds like Adobe made a slight change to the flash.ocx in the release following 100452 that removed the couple of definitions descibed by Microsoft in the URL above. All of Microsoft's suggestions for the developer using the bad OCX call fail (simply adding a line to the OCX:
InitCommonControls(void)
, however, since the problem (and the answer) is locked deep inside the flash.ocx source code, only Adobe can resolve it. Let's hope someone reads this and takes action.   In advance - please and thank you Adobe.

There's little chance anyone from Adobe will see your posting here, though they do on occasion find their way here for reasons unknown. What you might try is to submit a bug report. Going that route at least puts it into a system that requires it to be processed... whether or not the processing will lead to a solution that helps you is indeterminable from this end.
