CS4: Unable to Open a Premiere 6 Project File

Hi!
I'm trying to open an Adobe Premiere 6 (Windows) file in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows 64-bit),and I'm getting the following error:
The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened.
As a possible workaround, I tried to import the Premiere 6 project into a newly created Premiere Pro CS4 project.  After selecting the Premiere 6 projet file, I clicked Import Entire Project, then OK... and then I got the following message:
The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened.
I'm able to open the Premiere 6 file in a text editor, and it looks undamaged to me.  Does anyone have any suggestions -- hopefully something less painful than starting from scratch in Premiere Pro?
Thanks in advance.

That's great to hear--I'm glad it worked for you. I wouldn't necessarily call this a workaround though; I've helped an acquaintance successfully move Premiere 6 files into PPro CS3 without the need for After Effects as the go-between. More than likely, there was something amiss in your project file, something that you wouldn't detect in the plain-text, but to Premiere it was a wrench in the works. Could be a media file reference, an effect, a transformation on a clip--who knows? I don't quite know why it is, but AE just seems to be much more resilient to these busted project files than PPro, and when you need it, it comes through.
Anyway, I'll consider that my good deed for the day Happy editing!

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.

  • Logic crashes when trying to open a Garageband project file

    Hey guys,
    Since discovering that software instrument apple loops (SIAL) do NOT include the effects/sends when they are imported into logic, a discussion on here mentioned that when opened in Garageband, the effects are included. The suggestion was that by opening a garageband project in logic, the effects/sends would all be imported into logic from garage band.
    This worked fine for a couple of software instruments such as '80's Dance Bass Synth' but strangely every time i try to open a garageband project file in logic with any of the software instrument loops 'Classic Rock Steel' or 'Southern Rock Guitar' logic crashes trying to open it. It usually loads up until an effect such as channel eq, platinumverb, or ducker and then stops loading and freezes.
    It is really odd that it seems to be related to those guitar loops. So i was wondering if anyone has a fix, or if someone could spare a minute of their time and make a garageband project with a 'Southern Rock Guitar 2' software loop and try to open this project file in Logic - just to see if it is a problem with my logic, or if it is the same for everybody.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
    Nick.

    I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

  • How can I export a selection as premiere PROJECT FILE to edit in another project....?

    Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue....I must of hit an awful evil key because for the third time deep into an edit I traced back to my intro to find most of the audio pulled a Houdini on me and disappeared.
    I've been through a tough edit, it's not as simple to just go back into my bins and recollect the clips to create my intro.
    Luckily I found the exact intro I need in an auto-saved project file. Copy and pasting obviously does not transfer through project file changes, there is an option to "Export as Premiere Project File" under File, however after marking specific in and out marks and even selecting all clips I want to export, my option tool remains gray and inaccessible.
    I need to export these specific clips as a project file so I may import the file as a sequence to a larger project.
    Help?
    Thank you so much in advance for your time and feedback.

    Have you tried importing the sequence through the Media Browser?  To do so, browse to the backup of your project and double-click it. That will show you all the contents of the project. You can then drag the sequence into your working project.

  • Flash CS4 Hangs when opening a flash CS3 file

    Hi to all,
    I'm having a big problem with a flash file. I installed CS4,
    and trying to open a flash CS3 file crashes CS4. It´s a
    complex file, but it opened quickly with no problems in CS3.
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
    Intel Centrino Duo T2050 1.6 Ghz
    2 Gb RAM
    Nvidia GeForce 7600
    Thanks in advance

    Hmmm - I havent experienced this here - CS4 opens all of my
    CS3 files no
    matter how large or small and across netwrks. I would try
    opening your file
    in CS3 again, do a save as with a new name, then launch CS4
    and try opening
    the newly saved file.

  • Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied

    I have an up-to-date system (full "pacman -Syu" yesterday), I am in a "lp" group and the printer (Canon Pixma MP270) started to give "Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied" error, although in the past it worked and still works in Windows. Doesn't anybody have a similar problem?

    Thanks for reply.
    CUPS worked, I could use CUPS-PDF and localhost:631 was accessible and working.
    Today I managed to print again. I did "pacman -Rcsn cups" and reinstalled it again.
    My printer is Canon Pixma MP270 and so far it wasn't the best choice for Arch Linux—scanning works fine but it's like throwing a coin when it comes to printing. I've written a simple PKGBUILD for installing its printing driver as a regular package, but I don't know what to set as a license.

  • Cannot open an iMovie project file

    I can no longer open an iMovie project file from my external hard drive. Other iMovie projects on the hard drive can be opened, but not my main project. I've transfered it back to my MacBook Pro and then tried importing it into a new project, but I get an error -43 message about Quicktime not able to 'parse' the file. I have also tried Lennart Thelander's "File Fixer" but this still does not open the file. File icon and file size (39.02GB) seem to be the same as when the file could be opened. Is there a way to recover this file?
    Merci

    iMovie doesn't support importing one iMovie project to another. When we try, we get exactly the error you quoted.
    You can, however, import all the Timeline video and audio as a single clip to a new project. Or you can drag files from the Media folder of the project to the Timeline of a NEW project.
    In the Finder, Control-click on the project icon and choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu. You'll see the movie "Timeline Movie.mov" in the window that opens. You want to import that movie to a new project, or import selected files in the Media folder.
    To import, drag the file to the Timeline of a NEW iMovie project. If importing the Timeline Movie, everything on the Timeline of the original project will arrive as a single clip in the new project.
    If the project failed on the external drive, it may be because the disk does not use the disk format required by iMovie. Use Disk Utility to check the disk format, which must be "Mac OS Extended". If it's not that format, use Disk Utility to reformat the drive. (Which will erase all the files on the drive, so make backups.)

  • Unable to open a specific xlsx file

    Hello,
    I am unable to open a specific xlsx file on my iPhone 5 which has iOS 7.0.4 in quick look.
    I able to open other .xlsx and this specific file can be opened as a .xls
    Unfortunately, I am unable to post this file due to security issues.
    Would anyone know if there is a reason why I cannot open this as a .xlsx?

    So there are two .xlsm files that I am using.
    Both of which have the same code.
    It is just the name of the reports which are different.
    The macro code is used to email this report to the user which is on an active worksheet.
    Once this has been emailed, we are able to open the report generated by one .xlsm code that spits it out as .xlsx but not the other on the iPhone.
    I am able to save the other report as a .xls and send it across and I can preview it in Quick Look.
    Unfortunately, the users do not possess the Numbers app.

    I had installed ADK to utilize the latest and greatest DISM tool. That broke WAIK and the boot.wim could not be found when updating the deployment shares. Thanks for the pointer...
    Paul Prindle MCP, A+
    That is because WAIK and ADK are unsupported as side-by-side installations.
