Convert a PREL project to a FCP project

Hi All,
I'm looking at opening up a Adobe Premiere Elements project file on Final Cut Express and wanted to know if there's a converter so Final Cut can interpret a prel file?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately even PrPro cannot do a full Project export to FCP - yet. It's supposed to be implemented soon, and maybe the CS4.2 update will have it. When it does come out, one could Import the .PREL into CS4.2 (or whichever update does get the FCP export module), and then Export that to a FCP Project setting. Not a simple, freeware converter, by any stretch, but then it will be doable - if one has a friend on CS4.2.
However, you can come close. Edit in PrE and then Export the resulting movie. Import that into FCP for final tweaking.
I'd use .MOV (Animation CODEC) for SD material, and .MP4 (H.264) for HD material. That is about as close as one can come right now.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable To Open .prel Project

I'm running Premiere Elements 9.0.3 (PE9) on Windows 7. When I launch PE9, I get the "Welcome" window with the three options: "Organize", "New Project", and "Open Project". When I click on "Organize", I can see the ".avi" files that I’ve imported, and under the "Organize" tab, I can see my Video Projects (.prel files). However, when I click on "Open Project" on the "Welcome" window and then select any of the ".prel" files, none of these projects will open any longer. The small “Load Project” window is displayed and indicates that 100% of the project is loaded, but the PE9 window remains blank. If I then attempt to open a second project from this PE9 window (File => Open Project...), then I get a pop-up window that contains the following error message: “Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.” When I click “OK” on this pop-up window, the same pop-up window appears again. When I click “OK” on this second pop-up window, Premiere Elements crashes and all of the windows close. (Note: I could open all of my “.prel” projects a couple of weeks ago -- I have no idea what changed.)

First, there is no Premiere Elements 9.0.3 Update version of Premiere Elements 9. There is one for Photoshop Elements 9. So, I am assuming that the 9.0.3 was a typing error and that you meant to type 9.0.1 which is the required update for Premiere Elements 9.
There is an Adobe document on damaged projects that you might want to check out.
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html
But the first thoughts that come to mind on a problem such as this
a. Have you moved or deleted any of the source media that went into any of these projects?
b. Can you still open a new project in Premiere Elements 9.0.1?
c. Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, and are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
d. Have you tried to delete the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 settings file (Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs) found in the path (for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit)
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work to solve the problem, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exits. (Be aware that the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file (new) will be generated after you open Premiere Elements. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Snow Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path.
Let us rule in or out the above considerations. And, if necessary, we will go into your computer environment, including optimization and the possibility of pile ups of preview files and conformed video and audio files. Are the Scratch Disks directed to a hard drive space with enough free space to accept them?/
More later.
Thanks.

Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable

Thanks to the help from you all, I have written VBA macros that open huge word documents and pluck out specific information and put it into Excel. The files I've received have grown in size from 1500 to 3500 pages. I'm currently running the VBA
macros by opening the document in word and then clicking "View....Macros...mymacro....Run. The macro then runs for any where from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
Is there a way I can convert my VBA project into some sort of executable so that I can "submit" the word file to the executable? Sometimes I run this on a term server. I'd like to start the job, log off the term server, and then later
check for the resulting excel file.
Is there a way to queue up a list of input files for this?

Hi Denis Backer,
>>Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable<<
Yes, it is possible. We can write an application to automate open the Word documents and run the macro using
Application.Run. Also we can convert all the VBA project with mange code, however the Office automation is not supported on the server enviroment.
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of
Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client
application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services),
because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run
in this environment.
You can get more detail about it from link below:
Considerations for server-side Automation of Office Print Print Email Email
And here are two helpful links about Office automtaion using C# for your reference:

How to convert my NTSC project to PAL?

Hi! I'd like know how i can convert my ntsc project into PAL.
I need finish a DVD for my client take to ANGOLA and there is PAL system.It is possible? My Encore is 2.0.
Or It is possible put my NTSC movie into PAL project and let encore transcode the movie? Thank you very much and sorry my english.

You have several options.
1 - Create a new PAL project in Premiere Pro. Capture your footage in the usual manner, and as soon as it is in the project, hit the ENTER key to render it.
2 - Create an NTSC project in Premiere Pro, capture to NTSC DV footage, and export it out again.
Close project.
Create new PAL project, import the NTSC clip & then interpret/conform the footage to the project settings.
3 - Set up an NTSC project, capture footage, export to PAL DV or MPEG-2 from Premiere.
4 - Use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 - it's standards conversion is very good.
5 - Use ProCoder, as Ruud suggests
6 - Use CCE SP if you have it.
I'd try as many different ways as you can, and view the lot to see what looks the best.

Hi Srini
1. Copy/Paste Webdynpro components in the new project as was suggested before
2. Or create new project, copy _comp folder from old project to the new one. But, do not forget to update .dcdef & .project files manually after this. You have to set the correct project name in .dcdef and set the correct local project path in .project.

Converting RoboHelp7 FlashHelp project to RoboHelp8

Hi! Was looking for some best practices regarding converting existing help projects (FlashHelp) from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8. What you need to copy down so that you can verify and if necessary, recreate in RH8. Also, what major differences in just basic functions should I be aware of?
Reason I'm asking is because I've been doing some testing and have noticed that my some of my applied styles are not coming across correctly. Normal style is being changed from Verdana 9pt to Times Roman 12pt. Numbered lists have 12pt Times Roman numbers and rest of paragraph is Verdana 9pt.
In the attached css file, I'm seeing Kadov styles, which is strange because this project was created in RH7.
In addition, the ftp information that I had set up in the Primary Source Layout did not get copied over into RH8. Is that common because now I have to make sure that I've got it all copied down (which I do) but it would have been nice if it just imported during the conversion.
Another thing that I noted in the Primary Source Layout window after I converted my project was the "enable substring search" check box. Selecting this check box seems to really slow down the generation of my project when it gets to the Full Text Search process.
So basically, I'm asking for a handy-dandy checklist of what to check before you convert and things to review after the conversion.

As you realise, RH7 CSS files should not have kadov so my guess is somewhere along the line, a backup from an earlier version got applied and missed the upgrade. Doesn't really matter how, we are where we are.
First make a backup of the CSS that you posted and then strip out all the kadov definitions so that you can see the definitions that apply. That should not affect the output as it is now but at least you will be able to read the CSS.
Where normal is showing as TNR, look at the HTML. Is the <P> tag applied?
The list problem is because no font is set for the OL tag.
You also have two definitions of the P tag, maybe others with a conflict?
Your CSS needs a tidy up as the first step. Try Top Style, there is a free version and it is widely regarded as THE editor for CSS files.
I don't think we lost our publish details but we don't use them with FTP.
I am not surprised the sub-string search takes longer. It has more work to do would be my guess. Only Adobe can confirm that. I haven't seen anyone else comment on the additional time.
Handy dandy list? Sorry it doesn't work that way. Every project and author will be different so what might affect one will be OK for another. It's trial and error.

Convert Trailer to Project on iMovie

How do you convert an iMovie trailer to a project on the iPad? I want to use photos instead of videos, but since the trailer doesn't allow photos I have to convert to a project. I'm fairly new to iMovie and the iPad, so any help or advice/tips is appreciated. :)
P.S. This is for a book trailer I have to make for a school project.

Anybody? Would like to convert trailer to project using imovie on ipad2. Can this be done?

Converting cs3 Flash Project ( .flp ) to cs4 Flash Project

hello;
I have attempted to convert an old .flp to the new system, according to Flash Help instructions; but when I do, the new converted Project is nothing more than navigation-panel of the directory that contains the project ( .flp );
old .flp's were not directories, but collections of pertinent files, in a relational tree structure that I put together for ease of authoring, such as a bunch of .as files and a few .fla files that might be associated with one_module of a larger app , where...
some of those .as files might be coming from my papervision directory,
some from my personal as3 library,
and some from a local_directory
thus I have .as files coming from distant places on my computer, and a .flp allows me to put those pertinent .as files into one quick collection; an old .flp might look like:
my_project
- module_1
-- A.as ... located in C://.../.../..././//././././/./../././../?
-- B.as ... located in C://../../.././../././././././././.../...//./../?
-- C.as ... located in the same directory as the .flp
-- A.fla
- module_2
-- A.as
-- D.as
-- E.as
-- F.as
- generic_stuff
according to the new approach ( as I currently understand it ) an entire directory structure(s) - with all the crap that gets dropped into directories while building an app - is the definitive aspect of a Project; furthermore if there are files that are not included in that directory that I want included in the Project, I will have to also include the entire directory that includes that file ... when all is said and done my Project will consist of 30% of all of the crap that is on my computer ... I only wanted 15 or 20 files;
consider:
project_root_dir/sub_dir_A/sub_dir_B/sub_dir_C/pertinent_file.fla
project_root_dir/sub_dir_A/sub_dir_B/sub_dir_C/non-pertinent_readme.txt
now if I want to quickly open pertinent_file.fla, I have to use the Project panel to navigate down through 3 directories ... but I do that using Windows, so the Project panel has not really helped me;
and I surely do not want a bunch of clutter, like a readme.txt, included in a project, though I do want that readme in the directory on my computer ... but not in the Project;
am I missing something?
thanks,
dsdsdsdsd

Converting old imovie projects

Hi,
I just bought a new imac and used migration assistant to move all my files from the old mac. When I look in the movies folder I see all my old movies from my old mac however when I open imovie, there sees to be no "open" command under the file menu. It seems to only list projects that were created in this version. When I goto the movies folder and double click on one of the old files, the mac asks me what application to open it with? Is there a way to convert these old projects??
Thanks
Joe

Correct. iMovie '08 is a completely new application using a totally different method of storing source and project files. You cannot open your "original" files as such but can "import" projects produced by previous versions of iMovie to some degree. (I.e., it can only import source clips with compatible transitions but no "special effects." You will find this option under the "File" menu. (You can also import source clips, as well as, rendered transitions and special effects or the entire timeline without "tween" tracks manually or an exported version of the timeline if you so desire.)
When I goto the movies folder and double click on one of the old files, the mac asks me what application to open it with?
The project file is set to open in your previous version of iMovie which it appears you may not have been "migrated" to your new computer. iLife '08 does not restrict your use of iMovie '06 along side of iMovie '08. Had you installed the application yourself, your old version would have been moved to a folder entitled "iMovie (previous version)" so you could continue to use it. Since iLife '08 is already present, you can download a free copy of iMovie v6.0.4 at the following URL:

How do I convert a prel file into..

How do I convert a prel file into a mp3, avi, etc. I am needing to upload the video onto youtube and the file is not compatible as a prel. I am using adobe premier elements 12.

mgroce
Given you have Premiere Elements 12/12.1. (limit...2 GB 15 minutes, even if you have an extended time account at YouTube...the extended time account applies only to file uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site)
If your goal is to get a Premiere Elements 12 Timeline uploaded to YouTube, you have two possible routes....
a. Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube and your selection of the preset that matches your Timeline properties
or
b. Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with one of the .mp4 preset to export the Timeline content to a file saved to the computer hard drive from where you upload it to YouTube at the YouTube Web site.
For best results, I would suggest an AVCHD.mp4 file instead of the "avi" that you mentioned. What is the video compression that goes with that "avi" wrapper?
As for .mp3, that is a audio file extension, what is your intent on that....an upload to YouTube with just music and with a black video display? YouTube strictly enforces any copyright issues, so please assure that there are none associated with these .mp3 otherwise YouTube will remove them.
Please review and consider, and then let us know if you have the information that you sought.
Thank you.

Convert vob files for use in FCP X

I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:
