Cannot seem to open a new project with a height less than 100px

Hi
Surely there is not a minimum limit on the size of project I can work with in Captivate. I'm trying to open a new project that is 968 x 30 px but it will not let me and defaults back to 100px height.
Is there a way for me to achieve this or is this a flaw in Captivate? I'd be suprised if theu have set a limit on minimum height!
Cheers

Hi there
Not sure if it's a "flaw", but it's been that way for as long as I can recall. Keep in mind that Captivate is really designed for capturing screens and creating things that are substantially larger than 100 px.
If you disagree with this and feel it should change, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for a change. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Can I open a new project with 5 or 10 bins already in the browser?

Hi,
I'm wondering if I have to create and name five to ten bins every time I open a new project. Or is there a way to set FCP preferences to have a certain amount of bins and their names open every new project?
Thanks

You could however, create a "template" project. If you new the bins were going to be named the exact same thing for every project.
Just create a project, set up your bins and save as "template.fcp" (or whatever the fcp extension is, I can't remember right off hand.) Keep that somewhere you can find it, and then open it up and save it as a new project name anytime you need a project with that set up.
I do this for my projects because there is another editor that I work with that doesn't keep his browser very organized, so it was hard for me to figure out where he put everything when it was my turn to come in and finish the edit. So I created a template that had bins called "Graphics" "Animations" "Music" "Sound efx" "Sequences" etc.
Helps keeps things orderly.
Hope that helps

I opened a new project with the same name as an existing project and it deleted my existing

Bad day on my part. I spent all day recording a song with Garageband. As I finished it, I exported it to iTunes (Thank God), closed garage band and listened to the song. Hearing that it had several seconds at the beginning that were silence and not edited out I opened a new Garageband project under the same project name as the previous one and it erased everything the previous project had. Leaving me with no file. No project. No memory of the initial project. Any clues or am I SOL?

the OS should have asked if you wanted to replace the old file with this one. if it did not, perhaps you saved this file in a different folder and the old one still exists? You could try a spotlight search on your entire hard drive to see if both files exist.
if you did replace the old with the new, the only real hope is that you have a backup (perhaps you use Time Machine?)

if that's the _only_ issue, not completely out of luck. you could drop the audio file back into a new GB project and export an exact length:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
Note: if you compressed the export (mp3/acc) you'll be double compressing the file and losing a lot of musical information, but it may be better than losing a One-Time piece of work.
an alternate method would be to use an Audio Editor to cut out the silence. i'm not sure that this would save any quality, i think you'll still be double compressing the file, but it's something else to try, and listen to, to make a decision on which is better:

I can't seem to open a new tab with the keyboard shortcut or the plus sign thing next to an already open tab to open another one. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

This didn't happen until yesterday night after I updated to Firefox 3.6. So now I have to resort to right clicking then choosing to open a new tab from there.

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Error while opening a new project

Hello,
Our team has been working on RoboHelp 7 for some time now. I recently joined the team and they had asked me to work on RoboHelp 8 and give them a presentation on the same. I downloaded a trail version of RoboHelp 8 and installed it.
Problem:
When I open RoboHelp 8 and select Application Help or Blank Project, I start getting errors (I have tried all other options too with no luck).
Process:
Open RoboHelp 8
Select "Application Help" under "Create New"
On Clicking "Finish"
The following errors occur
And so on... It continues with a lot of other errors.
Any suggestion on how to open a new project with out these errors will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Calcasmy.

You wouldn't necessarily be aware of the problems when installing. Have you specifically checked with your IT that they do not store your profile on the network. That bit is important.
Then try http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/installing/installing.htm and see the Problem Installations section. One link helps with installs that have failed and the other removes installations more deeply than the programs own uninstall routine. You may need to install again for RevoUninstaller to work.
I suggest you work with IT using either of the links.

When I open a new project what format do I use with clips from Canon Legria (1440x1080)?

I have Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and a Canon Legria HF S100 digital video camera. My frames are 1440x 1080. I have a widescreen Sony tv on which I want to play my video when it has been edited and burnt.
When I opened a new project in Premiere Pro I set it as follows:
Editing Mode: DV Pal
DV Pal Widescreen 23 KHZ
Pixel aspect D1/DV Pal Widescreen 16:9
However, I burnt the sequence as an experiment and lost lots due to cropping in the final version.
I used to have Premiere Elements. If memory served I set it as AVCD Full HD 1080i. I had no problems. I tried the AVCD 1080i setting on Premiere Pro but this didn't work either. I still got cropping.
Which settings are adviseable to ensure I can see the full clip on screen when it has been burnt? In addition, what is the difference between Anamoprhic and square pixels?
Sorry for banal questions. I got Premiere Pro because I was frustrated with Elements constantly crashing. I have to confess to being totally bewildered by the techinical information that I've read.

Best is to edit in HD and export to SD.
You need the AVCHD 1080i 25 Anamorfic.
Or drag a clip into the New Item icon which will give you a matching sequence for your footage.

I cannot open a new tab with ctrl + T, or by double clicking or by right clicking

I cannot open a new tab with ctrl + T, or by double clicking or by right clicking, i was using 3.6.18 before when i started facing this problem, than i uninstalled the firefox and reinstalled Firefox - 3.0.6, still the issue has not been resolved, i need help asap as cannot work without new tabs.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbAPLV5/3.12.2.16749
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Cannot Start a new project with a mapped network drive

When I try to start a new project with Encore and save the file to our network cluster (An Isilon Server), I get a file not found error message. When I try to do this to a local drive, it works just fine. None of the other Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) have this problem with this network drive.
Greg Glaser

Yes, it worked on the local drive, and also to a Windows Networked Server that was not the Isilon. Even after creating the project and moving it to the Isilon, it was generating error messages after a few minutes of use. The Isilon is using a BSD variant of Linux and Samba. The really strange part is the all other Adobe products from the Production Suite work with this server without any problems at all.

I have installed Premiere Elements 8 on a new PC. It won't open any new projects

I seem to have the same problem as LaxMan2010-11 in Premiere Elements 8 won't load recently saved project was there a resolution?

3gpmark
Problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes.
So, let us focus in on your particular situation in order to find your answer.
What computer operating system is involved? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Have you gone through that usual drill in the older thread that you referenced?
a. latest version of QuickTime installed
b. problem looked at with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled
c. video card/graphics card driver up to date
Now...
1. Do you have installed the 8.0.1 Update. If not, please do so using the Adobe online link
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
2. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrator Privileges and with Run As Administrator applied to the
program's desktop icon?
3. Is your problem confined to opening saved closed project created with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on another computer? If yes, then
open a new project and make sure that the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features are turned off.
4. Have you moved, deleted, or renamed folders/files that were imported into the project(s) after the project's was saved and closed?
Please review the following Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects and determine if any of the suggested troubleshooting
works for you.

We will be watching for your follow up.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

How to open a new tab with the same current directory in a terminal?

I use the following script to open a new terminal with the same pwd.
I'm wondering how to modify it to open a new tab with the same pwd.
#!/bin/sh
# Open a new terminal in the cwd
CWD=`pwd`
osascript<<END
set thePath to "$CWD"
set myPath to (POSIX file thePath as alias)
try
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script with command "cd \"" & thePath & "\""
end tell
end try
END

bit of a hack, but the make command doesn't seem to work for tabs in terminal. replace what's currently in the 'try' block with this code:
tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Terminal"
keystroke "t" using command down
end tell
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script "cd " & (quoted form of thePath) in last tab of window 1
end tell

Opening older Premiere project with CS3 - no sequence! Like it was deleted

I am not sure what exact version of Premiere was used but I think it was 6.0 or 6.5. Very simple, few minutes and single time line/sequence.
When this is opened in CS3 it opens the project normally (asks for ".prtl" or title files), shows the Bin with all the files but there is no sequence - no edited content what so ever. The whole thing is gone.
The .prproj file has over 170 XML tags linking the .avi files and the rendered videos. I have tried to create new project with same aspect and PAL and then "import" but it does not give the sequence/time line which is missing.
Any ideas?

Firefox does not recongnize some downloadable file (e.g., Adobe Flash Player); instead it opens a new tab with nothing in it.

Firefox cannot download the files I want to download sometimes. For example installing Flash Player. It opens a new tab with URL "http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US_i386.pkg.zip" and title "adberdr.pkg.zip (application/zip object)" on it. It happens when I have to download some dmg or compressed files.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

For now I am assuming that you are running Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit......and, that the problem exists with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.....
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Have you installed the 9.0.1 Update for the program? If not, please do so from the following link from Adobe
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
You can install the above even with Premiere Elements 9 closed.
Can we assume that you did that when you wrote
- install all updates
Did you delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if that did not work, the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
Can we assume that you have when you wrote
- delete all elements files from users and program folder
When was the last time you used the program successfully?
When you did the uninstall/reinstall, did you do the sequence
1. Uninstall via Control Panel
2. free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts)
CCleaner - Download
3. reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled
Let us start here and then decide what next based on your details.
Thank you.

Just installed Premiere and can not open a new project, database error

Everytime I try to open a new project i get a Database is "Failed to perform the database operation as the Organizer database is busy. Please try again later."
Anyone had this problem yet?

PatrickClay
Of prime importance...what version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running on?
So, right now a lot of generalizations
1. Close all opened projects and programs.
2. Right click the Taskbar at the bottom of computer desktop to bring up Task Manager/Processes. Look for and End Process for any traces of Premiere Elements and/or Elements Organizer whose process remained opened after you closed the program.
3. Open Premiere Elements to its Splash screen where hopefully you will see tabs for Organizer and Video Editor. Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys of the computer main keyboard (altogether) as you do a left mouse click hold down on the Organizer tab for about 15 seconds. After that time, release just the mouse click hold down. Wait for a message about deleting the preferences/settings file. Click Yes to the message that should appear. Unhold the Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and then click on Organizer or Video Editor and try to open the Video Editor or Elements Organizer sections of the program without error.
4. Did that work for you? If not, please supply more details.
We are looking forward to your follow up with the outcome and getting your issue resolved.
Thanks.
