Corrupted project

After energy drop, my After effects project became corrupted. When trying to open it, I see error: Missing data in file. (33::4). I`ve tried to copy it to another disk drive, tried to import it to a new project. Autosave was not checked (thought it is a default option, and it should be). It is a large 70mb project file, that was used in premiere pro as sequences via dinamic link. 3 months of hard work... At the moment I`m trying to recover project folder with Recuva data recovery software. Is there any other option to bring project back to life? Does Adobe programmers / tech support could fix it, at a cost?

Thank You for a reply.  Editing was done inside premiere pro, using hundred of sequences made in after effects. Keyframe animation, characters created in illustrator, animated in after effects and edited in premiere. change illustrator file, and it allready changed in premiere.  It was my mistake, not saving a backup version every day. And it was a hard lesson for me. I`ve failed to recover old version of the same file. But before recreating everything from scratch, hope there is a possibility to fix the broken project file.

  • Splitting clips problem. Corrupt project?

    I have a 3 hour 15 minute project that I finished editing (down from 6+ hours of footage).  Aside from iMovie starting to run quite slow by the time I was adding chapters and titles, everything went well.  After 11 hours of exporting to Quicktime, I split the movie file in half and burned two DVDs.  Everything looks good, except I noticed a section that I accidentally placed the sound off from the video.  An easy fix for just that section, or so I thought.
    Back in iMovie, I get the spinning color wheel everytime I move or click anywhere.  But the real problem is that I no longer split clips ... at least not where I intend to.  I stop the playhead where I want to split the clip, and instead of splitting it there, iMovie is splitting the clip anywhere from a half second to 3 seconds after the point I choose.
    I'm guessing the project is corrupt since I can create a new project, drag in a clip and it splits just fine.  And if I pull in clips from other events into the corrupt project, the splitting gets screwed up again.
    I'm hoping there's a solution rather than having to create a new project.  I used a lot of transitions, and I want to keep the timing exact so I can easily replace the affected portions of the movie file rather than waiting another 11 hours for everything to export.
    And yes, I tried all the usual deleting of preferences, moving the project out of the movies folder, etc., etc. and it's still an issue.

    Hi Flagmaker82,
    If you are having difficulties splitting a clip as you describe, you may want to try placing the playhead where you want the split, control clicking the clip and select Split Clip from the shortcut menu. The process is similar to what is described for trimming a clip in this article -
    iMovie (2013): Trim, split, and move clips

  • Premiere Pro 7.2.1 keeps crashing/corrupting projects

    Help --
    First problem is that PP CC ver 7,2,1 keeps crashing, giving error reports that the project is "damaged or contains outdated elements."  It's ruined 2 projects in 2 days including the backup for one of them.
    I've cleaned the caches; deleted the preferences, uninstalled using the Adobe uninstaller; reinstalled - no help.
    Second problem is - how do I get a project fixed so that I can use it? It was nearly finished - then crashed. So after rebooting I switched to the backup & it crashed immediately & now won't open either.
    Mac Book Pro I7; 2.3 Ghz; 16GB; NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M; lots of room on the hard drive; OS 10.9.1
    One other note - I've been in a Chat for over 2 hours - looks like Adobe dropped the Chat while I was waiting to be switched to a tech support chat.
    Thanks!
    MSM

    Thanks Mark - unfortunately this didn't work. I can import good projects via media browser, but the ones that were corrupted don't show any files in the media browser.  I was 2/3rds through a project that's due tomorrow - hope there's a solution or I'll have a pretty unhappy client.  (I also tried opening the corrupted projects in CS6; didn't work).

  • Problems started with 'Corrupted Project' and has led to 'Unsupported Compression Type" for certain .mts files

    Had to revisit several projects that were working this past January, but now several are reporting as being 'corrupted'. After trying all of the usual recommended remedies, and failing, I attempted what is always my 'last resort' - Trashing Preferences. Last resort because it has always in recent versions, led to other problems. This time was no exception. Now, not only did trashing them NOT solve my corrupt project issue, but it added a couple more. Now, MB Looks plugin can't be seen, which has happened nearly every time I've trashed preferences, and certain .mts files are showing as being the dreaded 'Unsupported compression type', while many in the same folder are working just fine. This almost always seems to be a license issue of some sort. I have signed out of CC, then signed back in to no avail. My short term memory is nearly gone, but I seem to recall a similar set of occurrences a few months ago, and a uninstall/re-install was required to bring everything back to normal. This is getting quite old, as am I.

    Working with Adobe Support via chat at the moment. Their solution? - Contact Red Giant.

  • Photoshop file laid over a .mov from LiveType corrupts project files

    I have an edited sequence in FCE 3.0 At the beginning in V1 is a 7 second .mov title created in LiveType: the usual thing - squiggling text appears over an animated background using the Texture > Liquid > Silver. In V2, and overlapping the .mov is a Photoshop file (.PSD). It has one layer which has an image occupying half of the layer which is otherwise transparent. (By "overlapping" I mean that when the Playhead is over the .mov it is also over the Photoshop file). The Photoshop file is shorter than the .mov and its right hand end is aligned with the right hand end of the .mov. The Sequence in the Timeline is of course rendered. The result is that the title appears and then the Photoshop image overlays it. Fine, it works.
    However, if I save the Project file, quit FCE then relaunch it and load in the Project file, I get "Unable to Open Project File". Exactly the same occurs with another (different) Project file which also has a (different) LiveType title overlaid with a (different) single layer PSD file with a transparent background. I have no other Project files with a PSD overlay. The problem occurs only when I include the PSD file in V2, even without the .mov file.
    The LiveType .mov and the PSD file was dragged from its Mac folder on to the Browser then dragged from the Browser to the Timeline. The PSD file appears in the Browser as a Sequence. I deleted FCE's Pref. files, uninstalled and re-installed FCE, Repaired Permissions, rebooted - no help. Other Project files are OK.
    I have read www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop6.html Part 3 mentions the use of overlaid PSD files with transparency, and mentions creating a new Channel and converting to a PICT, but unlike the graphic in the site page, my Photoshop (version 7) does not offer the choice of a PICT - just PSD or RAW - so no help there.
    It seems clear that the PSD file is the problem. Can't FCE handle them as overlays? Any ideas please on how to get the effect that I want?

  • Recover Corrupted Project file

    I got this message when trying to load a WIP file: "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
    I've searched the forums as well as on other sources on how to deal with it. So far I've tried:
    1. Check files on AutoSave folder. No luck. All 5 files gave the same message
    2. Fix XML with XML wrench. Tried the "Check is Well Formed" & "Check is Valid" and both said ok"
    3. Restarted PC. Same thing.
    4. Move project and working files to other folders - same.
    5. Created a blank project and tried to import sequence - no sequence show up.
    6. Import from After Effects and Exported - no luck as well. Came up with a message saying there's no valid sequence.
    Would appreciate if anyone can help look into my project file to see if this is salvagable. The file looks ok, but it just won't load for some reason.
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9542978/MMK%20Interview%2001.prproj
    Thanks in advanced for your help.
    Some info:
    Adobe Premiere Pro 6.0
    Windows 7 64bit
    Using Plural Eyes plugin

    For what's worth, after hours of searching online for a solution and tinkering with the XML file, I managed to figure out how to salvage my project. What I did was to import my file into After Effects, and then single out the sequence I need, then went to Adobe Dynamic Link and created a project file in Premiere. Then I copied the sequence from AE and pasted it into Premiere, and deleted (what I took a while to find out) a screwed up sequence from the project and saved the project and ta-da.. it now opens fine.
    I'm still unsure why the 1 or 2 sequence is causing the project to be corrupted, but I don't have the time to investigate as I need to complete this project asap.
    Thanks to all that have helped.

  • What to do with a Corrupt project file?  Render Errors?

    Hello,
    I have a FCP project that has somehow gone corrupt. It still opens and I have access to it, but after working in it for a while, renders go crazy. I am working in DVCPRO HD 1080i60 with many layers, and a 2.35 matte. Sometimes a render misses layers, sometimes a renders put an image from the sequence in the wrong place, sometimes the render just plain goes crazy like it was on acid.
    I have recently switched computers and am having the same problem. Therefore I think my project is somehow corrupt.
    Does anyone know a good way to port the project to get a clean start? Please let me know. I am thinking of trying to do an XML port for the project, but the file is huge (300MB) and I worry...
    Thanks,
    D

    Hi
    And this external hard disk - HAS TO be Mac OS Extended formatted (not often solsd so)
    AND - Moving Events and Projects - Should be done within iMovie - NOT via Desktop/Finder !
    If so there is a great risk that iMovie can't find them again !

  • Corrupt project - how to go about fixing it?

    Hi all. I think I have a project which is slowly going corrupt. Anyone ever seen that?
    System: Dual 2-gig (late 2004 vintage), 2 gig RAM, OS 10.3.9, FCP 4.5/HD.
    What's happening is that while I'm editing, many anamalous things are happening. For instance, if I make an edit, and then want to undo it, sometimes the undo doesn't undo. Sometimes the mistake is still there...but it's not, really! I mean, the timeline shows the clip I mistakenly edited, even after I've hit CNTL-Z, and sometimes if I play that piece, the mistaken clip really is still there...but sometimes it's not; the clip that's present on the timeline isn't the one I'm watching...and when I highlight and delete the clip, voila, the clip that's supposed to be there magically reappears (on the timeline...I can usually always see the correct video). And sometimes when I do a "fit to fill", I not only get the fit to fill clip, it does an extra ripple insert, too. Usually this can be undone, but not all the time...
    I should add here that, despite all these anamolies, the timeline plays all the way through. It doesn't stop, freeze up, stutter, or exhibit any sort of playback problems.
    Now, before we go any further, DON'T tell me to trash my prefs. I've got FCP Rescue at my disposal, and have trashed and restored multiple times. Also, I do not get these sorts of problems happening with other projects I'm currently working on (well, sometimes the non-undo problem crops up, but not nearly as often). For these reasons, I'm thinking that something's up with this particular project.
    So earlier this evening I went into the Media Manager, selected choices to make new media to a drive with lotsa space, and to create a new project (to be saved in my FCP Projects folder on the system drive). Clicked OK, and off we went...spent three hours copying media, and then with 8 minutes left got the spinning beachball of death. My guess...FCP encountered whatever was corrupt, and couldn't make a new project.
    Anybody got any suggestions? I guess I can limp along, but I'm afraid something REALLY bad is gonna happen...

    Now, before we go any further, DON'T tell me to trash my prefs. I've got FCP Rescue at my disposal, and have trashed and restored multiple times.
    Before you go any further... you might try trashing the prefs and NOT restoring, in case you've got a glitch in the saved copy. Recreate your prefs when you open FCP.
    Might also look at any files that were not copied and see if any of them seem strange.
    Aside from that, you could try,
    Deleting all render files for the project and re-rendering
    Making the footage for the project offline, then reconnecting clips one at a time until you see the problem.

  • How can you fix corrupt Project Files in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello All,
    I have reason to believe that one of my project files in Final Cut Pro X is corrupt.
    How may I begin to resolve this issue?  Is there a third party software someone could recommend, like Digital Rebellion (if they have software for FCP X, I'm not sure) that may improve, if not hopefully solve this issue?
    Many thanks!!
    Molly

    Had a similar problem.
    Follow it here:
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/4-final-cut-pro-x-fcpx/11076-freeze-during-export
    among other steps taken I used Corrupt Clip Finder to isolate/remove the culprit and all was OK after that
    no idea how/why the file ( which I''d been using over 5 previous versions) became corrupted

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 seems to  Corrupt projects created with earlier versions

    I have opened  in PPro CC 2014  projects created in PPro CS6  or PPro CC. Every time  PPro crashed and got the message " PPro Debug Event - PPro encountered a major problem and has stopped working" After that the project seemed corrupted and could not be opened even in earlier versions.
    I get the following message

    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    I don't dare open any old project. help!

    Hi there!
    I´ve updated to latest version and then opened my project and got this error.
    Then I found in a forum that I should delete the ADOBE folder in \my documents
    I´ve deleted and then I could open the file again.
    But the .MP4 and some other video files doesn´t open.
    I saw that the 'Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset' file on \my documents\adobe\premiere Pro\8.0\Profile-myprofilename was causing the error.
    I also saw in other forum that I should rename Adobe folder to old.adobe from \userfolder\appdata\roaming and \userfolder\appdata\local but this hasn´t solved the problem.
    I tried also to reinstall Quicktime and K-Lite Codec Pack but the problem persists.
    Have you found any solution??
    Regards

  • SSRS reports corrupts Project Server 2013 Timeline

    I've noticed that when the report finishes loading, it corrupts the timeline and removes the hightlighting of the cells:

  • Rebuilding Corrupt Project problems

    Hi, first timer and a little desperate.
    I've been working on a doc in FCP HD 4.5, preparing to assemble seven subclips into a 60 minute version for export to Quicktime movie, NTSC DV. While I was working, the external hard drive was bumped by someone, knocking it over on the table where it sat. From that point, FCP started acting weird, giving a strange plaid/Tartan grid pattern in the Canvas window at certain points, and refusing to play for long before it froze up. Errors include "File I/O Error," dropped frames, and General Error (34) and (49). I also could not Export to Quicktime movie, as it kicked out after about 2 or 3%.
    Since then, thanks to helpful posts here:
    1. I've trashed and rebuilt preferences;
    2. I've run Disk Utility and Disk Warrior on the external, rebuidling the directories and checking for physical damage;
    3. I've cleared the RAM on startup;
    4. I've adjusted the FCP preferences to the lowest video and audio quality for playback (my timelines are always clean and kept in no more than two video channels, btw);
    5. And I have offlined the original Capture Scratch files and recaptured them. The program had trouble communicating with my old Canon GL-1 for some reason, reporting dropped timecode where there was none, so I had to Capture Now and then reconnected clips to the newly captured versions (if I can save the timeline, I'll have to do some tweaking, I know).
    So far so good, but now I'm getting General Error (34) and (49) on startup occasionally; I'm getting kicked out of Export to Quicktime after about 5%; and occasionally I'm seeing that same grid pattern, though it mostly seems to be playing better in the timeline. It waits to freeze up, anyway.
    Any ideas for software fixes? Reinstalling FCP, maybe some settings I'm missing? If it's a physical problem in the hard drive, I'll have to send it back, but I'm hoping for a software fix.
    Any help's appreciated greatly...
    best,
    Bill

    Kevin,
    I found a backup of my project that opened and I finished my project, not as well as I wanted but I got it out.
    I then closed down Premiere and went ahead with repair disk permissions as you suggested.
    I went back and double clicked on my working version and found it to be corrupt now as well. Premiere will open; the panes and general layout look the same as I left it when I closed; there is file information in the project pane but no video on the source or project monitors. The time line is there. But if I so much as move the mouse the  spinning beach ball appears. Finder shows Premiere unresponsive and I have to do a Force Quit. I'm not about to start opening older files to see if they work.
    In my opinion it is not 8.0.1 but the original 2014 as this is where the problem originated. I still have the older version 7 but stupidly uninstalled the matching Media Encoder which I need to queue to. So I'm stuck trying to sort this mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • GB Creating Corrupt Project Files

    Hi. I've been working with GB and GPO (Garritan Personal Orchestra) for a video project. A had a Project open (a fairly large one) and was frequently "saving" to the project on the Mac HD. I have encountered problems with GB crashing and the project files being used becoming corrupted in the past week. But I can't figure out what's causing the problem. This time I saved the project, opened up a track volume control for one track (Out of the 20 or so tracks) and clicked on one point and the big picture in the Software Instrument went black and GB crashed. The Relaunch dialog window came up. At that point, the project was corrupted. I now have two .band files that don't have a thumbnail preview when looking at them in the finder. GB says "Read Error: Illegal format of file. Abort" when I try to open them. Any help on more of what's causing this problem rather than how to fix the corrupted files (Even though that would be fantastic) would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Premiere Pro corrupted project

    Well this is just great. My project will not open anymore. All my auto-saves are from the same day so none of them will open anymore. I have absolutely no idea why not. It won't open even if I move all my media files elsewhere (not even offline helps).
    Anyone else experienced something like this? This is pretty bad. If it helps I've uploaded the project file here:

    What version of Premiere are you running? I tried to open your project with Premiere CS3 at home without success.
    A few years back when we used the Matrox RT.X100, Premiere project file corruption happened occasionally. Since we ditched the Matrox, we have never had a situation where a Premiere project became corrupt and refused to open. We are now using CS4 at work and have had an After Effects dynamic link issue cause a *.prproj opening process go into an endless loop. We were able to find a work-around for that.
    I was able to open your project in Notepad. The Prproj's are XML files with a *prproj extension. If you change the extension to *.xml, you can open them in Dreamweaver. The problem is, these documents contain so much information, I'm not sure if even the engineers who invented the format could spot an error within a reasonable time frame. A software *.prproj repair utility would be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, I don't think there is one.
    You said the auto-saves appear to be corrupt going back a ways. Can you remember if you closed and re-opened the main project within the time frame when those auto-saves were created.
    System Mechanic has some great tools for finding and repairing hard drive errors. The fully functional program is available to use as a 30 day trial at iolo.com.
    I'm not really sure if an MFT hard drive error could cause Auto Save files to become corrupt. I mentioned in a previous thread that when we used the Matrox card, I did an experiment and changed just one character (manually with Notepad) within a *prproj. The project file would not open and the dialog said the project was corrupt. So I can tell you that *.prproj's will not tolerate even the slightest error. I would let a complete System Mechanic hard drive diagnostic run all night.
    Could you post your system specs?
