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.

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,

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

Is there a way to get a PPRO CS4 project into ADPE8

To the clever users of ADPE8 is there away to open / transfer / edit a CS4 project in ADPE8.....? Instead of exporting the final to a DV or other file format.
Thanks
Gavin

Going back to my acquisition of PrE 4, this was one of the first things that I tried. PrE 4 had a cute little error message, "This Project was created in PrPro 2.0. Why don't you just use that program to Open it?" or very similar.
I was surprised, when I went the other way, and PrPro Opened my PrE Project just fine. I explored what could get in the way, and found that some of the "Instant Movie" settings would do it. Otherwise, all came over pretty well (better than I expected) to PrPro. Seems that some of the New Blue Effects and Transitions caused problems, but then 3rd party stuff will. No surprises here.
I've even Opened Pr 6.5 Mac Projects in PrPro 2.0 (PC), and only 3rd party Transitions were missing. PrPro even pointed to the name of the Transition, and the exact TimeCode, where they were used, plus it marked them for me, so a simple replacement was all that was necessary to get to editing. Nice touch Adobe!
Good luck,

Cannot save data in form create in acrobat

We have a form created in Acrobat 9 pro and it is setup so that it can be filled out and saved in Adobe Reader 11. We use this form on our small business domain and most of the time the form will save but lately we see an error that tells us very little just "Unexpected Error Occurred" and then no matter what you do you cannot save the form data. It's setup with a master form, then they save it individually by a new name. When this error occurs we just can't save it, nor can we print it! It's as if the data isn't there any more. I'm not sure what is happening but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

Hi,
First of all, check the PDF producer of your form. Open Form in Acrobat -> Go to File -> Properties -> Look for PDF Producer in "Description" (Tab).
1. If your form is created by Acrobat then Reader XI should be able to save the form.
2. If it is created by LC Designer then you need extend the rights for Reader in the form.
For Acrobat 9 Pro --
Go to Advanced > Extended Features in Adobe Reader

Hello,
is there any error text given by cProjects?
Have you had a look on the ADS side's logfiles?
Are you using the right credentials?
Maybe this could be a good point to start. Otherwise your description is not detailed enough to go on...

Unable to open a project created by another team member in my Captivate 4

I have installed Captivate 4 on two PCs. According to my license I am allowed to install on my home laptop and on my work PC.
I am using Version 4.0.1 Build 1658. I also have all the latest updates as of October 13, 2009.
I am able to develop and publish an instance that runs on my desktop or on the Internet. The problem is when I try to edit an instance on my WORK PC that was created on my HOME PC.
When I click on OPEN and the file name "SampleDemoCourse.cp", Captivate actually goes through the motions of READING PROJECT and the LOADING PROJECT and it displays these actions on the lower left corner of my screen. Then it tells me the PROJECT PATH showing the directory on my hard drive where the file is located.
But it never really opens in Captivate. I cannot do anything after that.
Any ideas, please?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled software many times with help of Adobe Support. I have checked to make sure my preferences are identical.
Thanks,

Hi Drew
Normally it's pretty simple.
1. Copy the .CP file(s) from source computer to intermediate media. (Network server, USB drive, CD, Etc.)
2. Copy .CP file(s) from intermediate media to destination PC.
3. Open Captivate and open file(s) in new location on destination PC.
At no point should you ever consider leaving the .CP file on a network drive and opening Captivate and browsing to the file to make edits while it is in the network location. You always want to work locally.
Another thing to consider is that Captivate seems touchy with CP files. You will want to ensure that all PCs are using the same version of Captivate. This includes patches. I wouldn't want to save a .CP file from a patched version 4 and expect to open it without issues on an unpatched version 4.
Cheers... Rick

PPRO CS4 Project won't lunch! Dead-Line is Today! SOS

OMG!
I have been working on a PPRO project (CS4) Yesterday when I was working I tried to export media to adobe media encoder - but the encoder failed to export.
Here is the report.
- Source File: C:UsersArielAppDataLocalTempShdema_4.prproj
- Output File: H:Premiere ProjectsShdemaExportsCaroline Glick.wmv
- Preset Used: PAL WMV CBR
- Video:
- Audio:
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 06:09:23
3/9/2009 1:28:33 AM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
I thought to myself that this unstable encoder is making trouble - and tried to relunch PPRO.
But I couldn't! the project starts to load, but the progress bar stopped near the end.
I looked at the DISK resource monitor - and after a while there is no disk activity.
So I close PPro through the task manager.
what to do?
I tried to load an all auto-saved projects (about an hour from the last save.) But still same thing.
I found in: "C:UsersArielAppDataLocalTemp"
a temporary save from 5 hours before the problem started.
and I managed to make it load!
But when I save it again and exit PPro - it wont relunch!
something is wrong here - I don't know what.
What can I do!?
this project is almost finished - and the dead line is TODAY!!!!
Whats up with this CURSED MEDIA ENCODER!
Please Help S.o.S!

Yes I had!
I created a few diagrams in AE and imported them to the project.
I remember that some times when I changes a diagram and re-saved as the same exported file - and premiere pro crashed after that.
I relaunched PPRo and continued working - but maybe it damaged the project somehow.
Do you think that is the reason?
On my attempts to recover this project - I tried creating a new PPro project and importing the damaged project and got the error "a Dynamic link error has accrued" .
I tried what you have suggested but I get this error:

Cannot Save Resources in Project Pro After Upgrade

I have recently migrated a test environment from v2003 to v2007 to v2010 to v2013. All project plans, resources, custom fields, security, etc. have migrated cleanly and all functionality seems to be intact.
However, when I open any global resource within Microsoft Project Professional 2013 in order to update their information (cost rate tables in my case), the changes will not save. There are no errors thrown to the client. The screen "blinks"
and just doesn't finish the save. The same resource can be updated from PWA with no issues.
Errors I can see:
ULS -

During the migration, there are 7 project and resource fields that are tagged as "required". If I reset them to not be required within v2013, the problem persists. However, if I delete those fields completely, this problem goes away.
Since I have 4000 resources (and 2 of the fields are Cost Center and RBS...), I am desperate for an alternative solution!
Thanks for any thoughts.
Jason

I can definitely save resources in the 2010 instance (even though the SPs and CUs have not been applied there). The 2013 instance is only running SP1. CUs have not yet been applied to catchup the environment. While that is planned to occur
in the next couple weeks, do you think that is an activity we should prioritize as it could potentially address this issue?
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Cannot save changes to Project

I just opened the Project to beging the final cut and I get this message. Last time this happened i hit QUIT and the project disappeared TOTALLY. I had to restart the whole project. What should I do? I have plenty of drive space. Maybe the external drive with the project is corrupt? I will put the Project files found on my main drive under "movies" to another drive first. Should I quit, continue or...?

Oh the jpg didn't get into the window.

Cannot install PPro CS4 - not enough memory????

I am trying to install the trial version of Premire Pro CS4 for evaluation purposes.
For some reason the installer reports that I do not have sufficient memory on the chosen hard drive, which I clearly have. See bottom left hand corner of the screen here:
http://tinypic.com/r/2eekdqu/6
The default drive chosen by the installer is C, which indeed does not have enough space, but the message remain regardless of the drive I change to. I already tried to go back and forward and change the drive selected to see if it will refresh properly, but to no avail.
Any idea how to make this work?
TIA.

Managed to solve the problem...
The problem was that PPro installer installs some shared files into the C drive in addition to installing the application itself to your chosen drive (which could be a different one).
The oversight on the part of the developers of the installer is that the 'not enough memory' warning message during installation corresponds to having not enough memory on either or both the C drive AND your chosen drive. At the same time the installer also gives an indicattion of the amount of memory available and the amount required, but without indication that this only correesponds to your chosen drive.... So, if your drive has enough memory, but the c drive doesn't the installer gives you two conflicting messages...
I now clear some space for the shared files on C, and the warning disappeared and everything installed and ran fine.
Thanks again for the help.

I cannot save (to desktop) or send (to another computer), a certain important document from the web. Can I have a back and forth discussion with someone about my issues?

Technically, I'm just trying to print my online pay stub, and am having an impossible time with the options given to me!!
Since my printer isn't working, I'd like to save document to my desktop ("save as" is the only option given to me) and send it as an attachment to a friend's computer and working printer. I'm given 2 options for the format when trying to "save as", neither work, because when I open the saved icon on my desk top, sometimes there is an empty page that states something like, there is no webpage here, or there is nothing there at all!
Now, I am currently trying to send the document directly (via email, an option given under "file") the pay stub from my employer (who uses ADP online payroll services), to that computer and working printer ....and I'm receiving a window (with apple mail logo on it) that begins with "To view this page, you must log in to this area on agateway.adp.com:443:" and asks for "name" and "password". I've put in both ADP's information, and what I believe (could be very wrong) to be apple mail's information, and either/neither/nothing seems to work!
[back story] About 5 years ago, I attempted to set-up apple mail (4.5) on my MacBook (OS X 10.6.8), didn't appreciate the process and abandoned my efforts. Since then I've always used different email applications (yahoo, go daddy, and currently, gmail). I've been successfully able to avoid apple mail up until this point.
Can anyone help me save or send this document?
Please someone ....help me!

What browser are you using?
Are you trying to print or to save the doc? Whether you have a working printer or not is really immaterial. If you're trying to print, then File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF…. If the resulting PDF is small enough (<5MB, though my preference is <1MB), e-mail it to your pal. If it's too big, transfer it using a chat programme or a file service (MediaFire, RapidShare, etc).

I don't understand any of this. You need to explain better—or perhaps just post a screen shot (blank any private or confidential info on it prior to posting).

Final Cut Pro cannot save changes to projects or Events.

Keep getting this stupid message, "The disk where your projects or Events are located may be full or unavailable, projects or Events may have moved, or permissions may have changed." It's the stupidest thing because I have 800 gb left on my drive. I haven't touched the Events after I imported all the footage last night. So frustrating because everytime I cut any footage, it'll work for a few clips, then the message will pop up, and it'll consequently wipe clean everything I just did. Any help??

Hmm, for some reason all of a sudden it started working. I unplugged my hard drive, turned it off, deleted the old project, and started fresh. All of a sudden it's going smoothly. Crossing my fingers that it was just a freak accident. Really crossing my fingers....

Making an AE CS4 project compatible with AE CS3

Hi,
Is there a way to save a CS4 project so it can be opened with AE CS3?
Thanks!
Pau

No, not at all. The only thing you could do is to copy&paste items from CS4 back to CS3, if it's important. It will however only work on a 64bit operating system, as normal 32bit OSs will not allow to launch two instances of After Effects.

PPro CS4 and CS5 installed and Windows 7 default launch from project dbl-click is...CS4?

This is sort of a curious one. I have to keep CS4 installed to edit Camtasia files as their codec is a 32 bit no-go with 64 bit CS5...
Oddly, when I double-click any PPro project (most were created in CS5), they will launch CS4, not CS5. When i go into properties and attempt to link a different application as the default for this project type, I browse to PPro CS5's executable and choose it, but end up back in the "Open with" dialog which again, only shows PPro CS4 as an option.
Oddness... anybody else seeing this? I just launch CS5 from it's shortcut and it loads whatever I want without an issue, but I still double click without thinking 3-5 times a week and have to back out...It's an annoyance.

Tim,
Are you comfortable wading around in the Windows registry? If so, you can probably fix this with a quick digit change:
In the Registry Editor (launch regedit from the Run dialog), find the following key: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open\command.
Once you select the "command" key, you'll see the program destination string on the right side; likely it's pointing to CS4. Double-click the "(Default)" string and change the value to to following, exactly as pasted here:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" "%1"
That's with the outside quotes and everything. OK the change, and you may or may not need a system restart, but that should correct the issue. Basically the file extension (in this case, .PRPROJ) is associated with a class (Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project), and that class points to default application. Once that's fixed up, the chain should be put back together.
Also, there is another key in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open\command. Changing the above should change this as well, but you may want to check it.
