CS4 Generic Import Error

I have a project that was exported using the project manager, all files, in Premiere CS3 on another workstation. The folder was copied to a portable HDD and copied onto one of my edit drives.  In this project were many, (400), PSD files with layers.
When I went to open the project, got a message that it needed to be converted to CS4. I am now getting a File Import Error and the Error Message, "The importer reported a generic error." and it is on every PSD file.
I really hope Adobe has a fix for this cause it's NOT ACCEPTABLE.  We've gone to great lengths  (and cost), to put Adobe suites on all of our workstations due to the belief that everything was 'compatible'.   Help me out here Adobe, I can't afford to take the time to re-import every PSD file and arrange the layers in the project.

Update....it was only tow files that were messing up. I hit ok, and skip, and somehow, the other files are imported correctly.
BUT, we discovered another problem where the CS3 didn't save raw video files to the folder when using the project manager to export the project. Preview files are o.k. but my video source files are missing.

  • Generic import error - Lion - CS5.5 - Will not import

    Hi. I just upgraded to cs5.5 with Lion and now a number of my previous cs4 projects will not load various flavors of video. One major problem I discovered was that after installing Lion, both of my Quicktime folders in the user and system library were missing (the system library is hidden in Lion by default, so I revealed it). These folders hold various quictime components, which I recreated from a backup. Now Quictime will play all of the video, but PPro responds with a generic import error. I have included a number of screen shots below showing the video file and library info. (I wish bridge would interogate the files and provide this information, but I use video spec). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have a number of clients waiting for resolution. Thank you. -Jeff

    Well, I solved the problem but I had to de-install Lion to do it, so I will not close out the thread until I update the post after the next Lion attempt.
    Here are the steps I took.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard from the DVD. This erased everything on the HD.
    Update all system software.
    Download and install Quicktime 7.6.6
    Register Quicktime Pro (Fortunately I had the old receipt) This drops in the AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    Copy over the AppleHDVCodec.component to the user library.
    Install CS5.5
    Big smile.
    One important change is that I did NOT install Final Cut this time.
    I just copied in the missing AppleHDVCodec.component to the library.
    I had this file in the correct folder post install of Lion, but for some reason PPro would not recognize it.
    My best guess is some other file (maybe a framework file) in the library was corrupted or altered during the Lion Installation.
    I also have not copied over all of the other codec.compents yet. I plan to drop these in as needed if new import errors occur.
    Below are the screen shots of the new librarys.

  • Dropping media, generic import errors galore

    I'm in the middle of an edit and when I came back to it the day after starting it, this is what greeted me. An annoyingly large image below.
    It has dropped several media files and when I try to reimport them, replace them or link them, I get the ever so helpful "generic import error". Any suggestions? The files that I'm trying to use are in the same path as those that work and I'm using a RAID drive so I don't understand why this is a problem all of a sudden since the files seem to be perfectly intact and work everywhere else.
    I'm using Creative Cloud, so the software is up to date and OS X is the latest version.

    OK.
    Next, open a new, empty project.  Go to Edit>Preferences>Media...  Take note of where the Media Cache files are stored.  In the section below, Clean the Media Cache Database.  Close Premiere Pro and use Finder to go to the location previously noted for the Cache files.  Delete them.  Reopen Premiere Pro, and then your project.  Let it rebuild the cache.

  • Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

    I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
    BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
    Happy Holidays.

  • Constant "generic importer errors"

    I've been plagued by constant error messages of "The importer reported a generic error." This happens with both XML files as well as media files. Sometimes this happens with files that are from the same camera roll as other files that work just fine.
    I've uninstalled, used the cleanup tool and reinstalled, but it has been of no help.
    I hope someone has some suggestions, because this causes epic delays in production.

    OK... some discussions of "missing" things... not all may apply to you, but reading MAY point you in the right direction

  • Unable to link clips due to generic import error.

    I am using Premiere Pro CC, up to date, on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  After week's vacation opened large project to find all clips offline.  When I linked, they located fine but OK produce "the importer reported a generic error".  I know the clips are on their hard drives and have not changed position.  I am not sure of next step.  I have always been able to link before though have not used "locate" dialogue box.  Checking other projects reveals consistent problem with importer.

    a couple of things to try would be deleting the Cache files and resetting the Preferences.

  • "Template import error: No VM configure file found" on brand new setup

    Previously, I posted Console does not launch OVM 3.1.1, Win7x32 Firefox15/IE8 - Empty .jnlp file which was about VM Console not launching. Since this is a new installation, and it seemed to be a unique problem, I scratched the whole installation and started again from scratch. Everything, including the NFS file server, was re-installed from scratch CD OS installation.
    The process is pretty straightforward once you're used to it, and in less than three hours I was ready again to import my first template (a template I had imported before). But now, I submit the the request, and almost immediately the process aborts. (You can see in the information below, that 1 second passes between the Import request (06:32:36) and the failure.)
    Thing is, it takes about three minutes, even locally on the web server, to get an index of that large file (tar tzf), and at completion, the vm config file is listed.
    Am I misreading the error? My web searches for enlightenment found only one good hit on this error, and in that case it appeared to be an "out of space" issue. In this case, though, I'm importing a 5GB tarfile into a 390GB, otherwise-empty file system, so I don't think that is the issue. The failure in ovs-agent.log is below. What other information may I provide to get to the bottom of this? (Thanks for any guidance/help, of course!)

    How did you get the template to where you staged it?
    I'd say the template is corrupt or you only have a partial template.
    I did notice the call to the template is based on the short name of the host. Can you confirm the VM manager can access the http path via short name?

  • ActiveSync reporting generic "Synchronization error", anyone have any ideas?

    I am using my Treo 700wx on my Windows XP Home desktop computer, and have in the past been able to sync with Outlook 2003.  My wife recently purchased a new windows mobile smartphone and began using ActiveSync under her computer profile, and since then ActiveSync reports a generic "Synchronization error" message in the Activesync window when I place my Treo in the USB cradle.  It does indicate that I am connected just fine.  I redownloaded the most recent ActiveSync files from Microsoft (4.5.0) and used the repair option without success.  I also upgraded my Treo Phone software to v. 1.22 - VZW also without any change in my ability to sync my data.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to the next step?
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

    I have only seen a generic syncrhronization error when trying to do remote synchronization, so pretty much sounds like your device is trying to sync to a diff computer than that one it is connected to.
    First simple check is to delete the partnership the device has with your computer and see if that helps
    1. With the mobile device disconnected from your computer, start ActiveSync, click Delete Partnership on the File menu, and then click the partnership you want to delete.
    2. Soft reset the mobile device. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your the mobile device.
    3. IMPORTANT: When you perform this step, if you have data on your mobile device that is not yet on your computer, you should choose Combine when you receive a message that asks what you want to do with existing data on the mobile device.
    Connect your mobile device to your computer, and then modify your initial settings by using the New Partnership Wizard. Note that the New Partnership Wizard automatically starts after you connect your mobile device.

  • Davinci Resolve 8.1.1 to Premiere CS5.5.2  import error

    Importing an XML from Resolve to Premiere gives me a "File import error"  "The importer reported a generic error."
    The XML from Resolve opens correctly in FCP7, and exporting that Resolve XML from FCP as an XML version 5 from FCP7 is correctly opened in Premiere.  Can anyone else verify they are getting the same result?
    thanks, 

    When I removed the offline clips in Premiere and re exported the XML file to Resolve, the resulting XML file from Resolve imported directly into Premiere, No import error, which is why I think having no offline media it might be a work around.
    Both the XML file from Resolve and FCP to Premiere has not caused any crashes on my end.
    I'm using FCP XML-Round-Trip from Resolve when rendering and using "render clip with unique filename"  As long as I render, then export the XML the conform works in Premiere, however the clip names in resolve reflect the original edit of the XML file from Premiere, and only in the file path is the corresponding Resolve renders.  I can not find a way to auto reconnect the resolve renders to the exported XML if moved to another suite with out manually doing every shot. Any thoughts?
    On a positive note, doing the above steps for removing offline media first in Premiere (I have not tested your suggestion yet of deleting offline files in Resolve) has solved my handle slip problems.
    I'd suggest closing both Premiere and Resolve, reopen, and send a sequence from Premiere to Resolve with no offline clips when conformed in Resolve, render and export XML and open directly in Premiere.  It's working for me now as long as Resolve exports a XML file without any offline clips, no more import errors or crashes.

  • How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers?  When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error.  The file format is invalid"

    How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers.  When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error.  The file format is invalid.

    That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
    A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
    I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
    1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
    2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
    Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

  • File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

    I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
    Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
    File Import Error
    The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
    I've tried everything I can think of:
    1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
    2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
    3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
    4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
    5. Manually updated AME
    6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
    7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

    Tried that as well.
    To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
    1. On company internal server
    2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
    3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
    4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
    5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
    I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.
