CS6 Premiere Pro generic project icons issue

I installed the new Cloud version of Premiere Pro through my monthly account.  I can open projects from Premiere Pro but if I try to open a project file from a folder, the icon is one of those generic icons.  I've tried using the Open with...and then browse to the Premiere Pro.exe file but it gave an error.  Now, when I try that same process it wants to open it using Adobe Reader X.  I deleted Adobe Reader X and tried again and now it wants to try to open my project files from my folder using Windows Media Center.  Huh?  Weird.  Any ideas anyone?
At first all of .prproj files received the Adobe Reader X icon.  Now they all are showing the Windows Media Encoder icon.  I can still open them all from within Premiere Pro just fine but would still like them to show the correct Adobe Premiere Pro icon show that I can double click them and they'll open in Premiere.

Yes, it was/is a Win7-64 install.  Perhaps I'll try a install repair from the Adobe installer thingy.   See if that works.  Gasp.
Update:  The error message I get when I try to open one of my many CS3, CS4,or CS5 projects, be they PS, Premiere, or AE, by double clicking those older projects is this:
Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Not sure what to make of that error message as I uninstalled all my older CS Suite programs after I installed the new CS6 stuff.  I got the same error message when trying to open up an older PS project but instead of CS3 it said CS5.5 in the above error message.  Weird.

  • Premiere Pro CS3-CONSTANT Memory issues when editing/rendering/exporting

    Alright, as said in the title I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and my issues are horrendous
    No matter what, within 10 minutes of editing, Premiere will warn and then crash because of memory issues, starting with the message:
    "Adobe Premiere Pro is running very low on system memory; please save your project and proceed with caution"
    Also, whenever I try to export this project, within 800 frames of a 7000 frame project (currently), it displays the message:
    "Error Compiling Movie", and then the previous message above if that hasn't already happened before
    And eventually, the program will crash out of nowhere, with random windows errors
    Here's my specs:
    Intel i7 920 Processor
    6 GB DDR3 RAM
    Nvidia 480 GTX
    750 watt power supply
    24" Dell Ultrasharp Monitor
    Now, I've noticed that whenever Premiere is getting close to crashing, my RAM gets up to around 4.7 GB being used, and then it crashes.
    I have already gone into Edit-Preferences and tried switching from Performance to Memory; that hasn't fixed anything
    I noticed that when I was just running my video over and over again, it stayed stable at 4 GB or so, so maybe its a rendering issue?
    I have already tried lowering my number of processes running at any given time, including my antivirus program (Kaspersky) and even explorer, but it still crashes no matter what.
    ========================================================================================== ========
    This is a SERIOUS issue for me, as even with all the normal crashes I could finish the video; but now I cannot even export my video at ALL without it crashing, and I have a plenty strong-enough computer to handle this, so what gives?
    Please help

    Ok, well this has been getting me nowhere
    I tried importing (both my CTRL-X method, and literally importing the project), and now the program won't even RENDER the footage, it just errors out at 800 frames (just like exporting)
    What is going on???
    I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 all the time, on a separate computer, but I have 6 GB of RAM, is this really impossible???
    EDIT:
    And now, even after finally getting it to render (by saving after rendering before what crashed, and then starting it up and rendering again), all my footage looks like crap XP

  • Downloaded CS6 premiere pro trial

    I have download the Adobe Download Assistant.  I can sign in with Adobe ID.  The install for CS6 Premiere Pro after an hours said it was install successfully but I don't see a desktop icon nor do I have an entry in the Programs list.  I have restarted the computer.

    After the download is complete it will launch the installer which you would still need to complete.  Do you know where you download the install files too?  Have you tried invoking the installer again?  Finally which version of Windows are you using?

  • Premiere Pro CC project takes 1 hour to open !

    Hi everybody,
    After a Premiere Pro CC 7.1 crash, I tried to reopen my last project and the loading of this project took 1 hour to reopen normally. The yellow loading progression bar is freezing approximatively at 30 % of full load. 1 hour later, my project is open without any problems. If i save the project again, quit Premiere and reopen my project, it loads in a few seconds...
    I tried many things before waiting the hour :
    Kill Premiere during the load, reopen a backup of my project : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Shutdown computer and restart then reload the project : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Open the crashed project in another computer (Mac) without the media attached : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Delete all the media cache folder and empy trash.
    This happend several times on a big project (lots of media, multi cameras) usually after many CTRL-Z action that are (I think...) too fast.
    My footage are clean and on a Raid 0 disk
    It's not really dramatic but when it happens when a director is arround me, and we spend 1 hour to wait for a simple project load... that's really not cool :-/
    Anyone got an idea ?
    My configuration : Windows 8.1, Premiere Pro CC 7.1, 32 GB Ram, Bi Intel Xeon E5-2630 2.3 GHz
    Thanks !
    noar
    PS : I happened for the first time a few days ago. I've posted this thread : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5838103#5838103
    Since, it happend 3 times in two days...

    Please tell us, what type of footage you are using ?
    Quicktime H264 from Canon 5D Mark III, few Go Pro clips (5 ou 6 in 2 hours) and some AVCHD clips (drone shots)
    What are the effects you have applied ?
    None except size and position of one camera to make a pip and see my both cam during my prework
    what is the duration of the project ?
    1 "long" timeline with a 2 hours length
    Are you using any third party plugins e.g. Magic bullets ?
    no
    Any 3rd party hardware e.g. blackmagic ?
    no. Only one graphic card (Geforce 680, 4 GB) with 3 displays attached
    You can try one thing, try to import whole project in After Effects, then export that as as new premiere pro project..
    When I import the project in After Effects, same thing : the load is very long ! ...
    one more thing you can try, open the project inthe premiere pro and export as FCP XML.
    Now open a new premiere pro blank project, import FCP xml file in the premiere pro.
    I can't do that when it bugs because to export as FCP XML, I have to load the original project... and that's the problem ! I tried to unzip the PRPROJ file (that's a Gzip file...) and parse de XML in it with and xml validator. Everything seems to be ok in my project. So I think the problem comes from the medias or the database ? ... But that's completely weird that when I try to open it on another computer (without the medias, with another database) I've got the exact same problem... So It's really the project that is corrupted.
    Next time it will bug (sure it will...) this is what I'll do :
    Copy my crashed project on desktop and keep it. After 1 hour of opening, I'll save the project with a new name and compare de 2 file size. Just to confirm that my crashed project and my good project are different. If they have the same size, maybe It's more Premiere than the project itself. If they are different, I'll compare them to see what changed between the crashed and the good one.
    Writing in this forum I'm thinking about a new lead : Since PRPRO CC, the prproj files are gzip files (that's why the file size are so small compared to old version). So when PRPRO crash, maybe it corrupt the gzip compression of the project ? That's weird because a software like winrar can unzip the crashed project a reveal the xml file in it. So I'll try to extract the XML file in the crashed project and re-gzip it and rename it .prproj ?
    Feel free to write some ideas or tests that could help me to understand this bug and how to resolve or quickly repair the damaged caused...
    Hope these will work for you , crossing my fingers
    Hope to. 3 crash with the director behind me that's not really cool when you're a freelance with your own machine...
    THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR PRECIOUS HELP AND THE TIME YOU SPEND TO READ MY PROBLEMS !!

  • Exporting CS6 Premiere Pro Sequence in AE

    I'm trying to export a CS6 Premiere Pro sequence through CS6 After Effects and some of the content that is present on my timeline is coming up with colour bars or just black when I'm trying to export from AE..... how can this be resolved?

    Thanks for your help Rick!
    I'm working on a 2008 Mac Pro with Dual Quad Core 2.8Mhz Processors and 32GB RAM.
    The sequence is .r3d 4K FF and the footage on the timeline is a mix of 4K FF r3d footage, some Animation codec (graphics from Cinema 4D exported via After Effects), some up-scaled 1080p and some 5k FF r3d footage.
    The strange thing is that when I play the timeline in Premiere it all works fine but when I try to export the sequence in AE, that's when content shows up as colour bars or just black. It's all there though. I've tried disconnecting the media and reconnecting it, I've copied and pasted it to a new timeline, I've nested it as a sequence and tried exporting that but each time it's the same result.
    I was thinking that I should uninstall CS6 and then try and reinstall it, but my Mac Pro I'm working off isn't connected online. I'd have to relocate the tower to where the internet modem is and I currently have a broken leg so it's not really possible.
    Any other suggestions for getting this to work?

  • Can't get my MacBook audio to record audiio in CS6 Premiere Pro ?

    Can't get my MacBook audio to record audiio in CS6 Premiere Pro ?
    Am i missing something here ?    It's telling me Premiere Pro is using the aggregate audio device,
    though not sure what that means ?
    thanks!

    If your model number isn't showing up in Printer Setup then you need to install the drivers. After you do that you should be able to setup your printer and print OK. Make sure Appletalk is checked in Airport in your Network Pref Pane.

  • Can I remove CS6 Premiere Pro 32-bit?

    I seem to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CS6 Premiere Pro installed. I'd like to remove the 32-bit if I can to free up space on my SSD.  Win7 OS. Any ideas? Thanks.

    you can but you may find some things only work with your 32bit program so it's better to wait a few weeks/months to see if the 64bit program has everything your need.

  • CS6 Premiere Pro Workflow

    In the limited time I have, I am attempting to learn Premiere Pro and have working through the CS6 tutorials that creativecow.com have to offer. However, it would be a great help if I had a better idea on the workflow (in simple terms) such as:
    Set parameters
    Import files into Project Panel
    Open each file (one at a time) in Source Monitor for adjustments i.e. (In and Out points)
    When all files (Clips) have been edited, bring them into the timeline from the  
            Project Panel, or 
            Source Monitor, or 
           Either one? 
    Make final adjustments to footage on the timeline 
    Move to SpeedGrade for color adjustment's
    Move back to Premiere Pro for rendering 
    Editing of footage is finished
    Questions:
    1. Could someone give me a suitable workflow similar to the example I give above (if not correct). 
    2. Also, it seems that all editing of any footage can be done in either of the Source or Program panels, is this correct, and if so, why 2 panels?
    Thanks

    Open each file (one at a time) in Source Monitor for adjustments i.e. (In and Out points)
    When all files (Clips) have been edited, bring them into the timeline from the
            Project Panel, or
    Source Monitor, or  - YES!  Do this as you work on each one in the Source Monitor.

  • Premiere Pro CC audio corruption issues

    Hello Adobe community,
    I've been editing happily on Adobe for several years now, and I'm not sure if it's CC, Mavericks updating and/or getting a brand new top-of-the-line 16GB/ram MacBook Pro to edit on, but every time I close and re-open premiere pro CC, the majority of my audio simply disappears -- sometimes it does it in the middle of an edit. The clips are still there, but they no longer have waveforms and don't play back. Sometimes it's most audio clips, sometimes it's ALL audio clips. It's inexplicable. I don't have any plugins installed or effects, it seems arbitrary as to which clips drop out.
    There is a temporary and EXTREMELY aggravating fix, which is to match-frame each corrupt audio and then manually re-insert every single corrupt audio clip.
    However, once a project gets to a certain point (what point, I still have no idea), the audio is BEYOND saving. I can't match frame and hear anything. I also can't re-link the corrupt file to its original -- the audio will never come back. This is so frustrating I can't stand it. Entire projects have simply become corrupt and it's not even possible to open a back-up successfully (once the audio drops out on one version, it seems to exist across the board across prior versions). I never had any issues when I start and work on projects from my hefty iMac -- it seems to have something to do with being on a MacBook Pro. So when a project gets corrupted, I've even tried immediately opening a clean back up on my iMac, but the audio is STILL corrupted.
    I have tried so many fixes for this I'm going insane. It seems to happen most when I'm running off of an external harddrive, though I've tested it with so many different brands, capacities and connections (thunderbolt to FW800 to USB3.0) -- it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've lowered my buffersize to the minimum, have tried mimimizing all of my tracks so no waveforms are visible, i've tried rendering everything, moving scratch disks, pre-transcoding all footage to Pro Res 422 with 48khz audio, everything. I've also filled out bug reports to adobe, which I have no idea if they're ever seen or not. I rely on Premiere for my livlihood and I'm so desperate I'm about to go back to FCP.
    Does anyone have any clue what this could be or any way you might be able to help?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    All my footage is ProRes 4444 shot on the Alexa.  Audio was recorded separately on a mixer, I can't tell you the model for sure but it generates poly track wav files.  The wav has 6 separate tracks - five of which are being used.  I've got another project, same footage/camera, same mixer/audio files and I haven't had any problems.  There aren't near as many edits in that project and only four of the six tracks on the wav were used.  They're still there, just no audio. 
    I'm using a 10 TB lacie big disk via thunderbolt in raid 0.  I've had no other issues with the device or either port. 
    When it fails to playback I get the following error on the events screen: 
    'A low-level exception occurred in; Adobe Player (Player)'
    I also used pluraleyes 3 to sync the project.  When it output the xml for premiere it gave me a window that said 'this contains 5.1 audio data and pluraleyes may not handle it properly'.  I didn't, in the timeline all the audio tracks were the same, it was the master mix on 6 tracks - no iso's.  The wav files in the project widow had the proper tracks when I viewed them in the source monitor.  Because the duration of the audio tracks were the same - I cut the iso tracks into the sync sequence I got from pluraleyes and deleted the audio tracks that originally appeared in the sequence.  I mention this because as I said, I have another project that I used the same workflow for and haven't had these issues - yet.  I also didn't receive the 5.1 message when I came out of pluraleyes. 
    Initially when I was having playback issues (the audio waveforms vanishing has been constant), I converted the 44.1 mp3 music files to 48 wav's to match the audio from the mixer. This solved the problem temporarily but now I can't get the audio from the mixer and the music to play in the same timeline.  The only way I get playback is to take out the music, strip all the effects from the mixer audio and not have more than two tracks of audio simultaneously on the timeline. 
    Thanks in advance for any help/advice. 

  • Unknown recorder error CS6 premiere pro

    I know work with CS6 for over 7 months. Always smoothly till this week. I wanted to capture a film via tape (sony HVR-V1E), my system diretly gave the following message: unknown recorder error. I klicked "okay" and gladly, I thought,  it started to capture the whole tape. It looked great on my canvas.
    I have edit the film but when I look at the final film on HD TV screen, I see a lot of noise, the footages are in bad shape. Cant sent that to my customer.
    Also Premiere Pro crashed a couple of times while editting. It never did that before/
    Some extra information. Maybe it has nothing to do with the above mentioned problem but still I want to write it down, one never knows. This is the only thing that is changed on my system:
    Working on an iMac (with SSD), Quicktime needed an extra mpeg2 component for footages from a camcorder. Have replace the quicktime with a backup. Does that cost the problem?
    I am on Lion Mountain. Have an SSD. The Suite is on the SSD, the footages on another internal drive.
    What I have done already to solve this:
    - checked google and checked this forum and checked, read and searched for hrs.
    - checked if there were faillures on my SSD or the other HD drive (HD2, where I keep my footages)
    - Updated my suite
    - project sequence is HD 1440x1080
    - Checked the footages if they were HD, and they were. (I am in Europe, so in PAL, 25 frames_
    File Path: /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/Video/project/xxxx.mpeg
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 67,3 MB
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 25,00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:00:20:16
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,3333
    - firewire is 800 (from camera connected to imac with an adapter from FW400 to FW 800, was never a problem).
    - Have checked the above mentioned values with earlier projects and they are the same values. Earlier projects are very clear and really HD, nice to watch.
    - loaded the files into iMovie and also into FCP 7. output was the same problem
    - exported the final film to H.264
    - Exported the final film via Media Encoder
    - HD (both) have >125 gig space not used.
    - Put the footages on the SSD, thats where PPR is installed
    - cleaned the media caches
    - checked it on our HD smart TV and the output of the tape is fine, sharp.
    What can I try more. Please your help, the deadline is friday.. so I have one day to solve this problem/
    Thanks in advance.

    INEF1- Have you got an answer to this-Premiere pro cs 6 have started with me:
    It comes up with Blackmagic design intensity shuttle usb 3.0 and with the direct firewire into the pc.
    I have:
    -Installed latest updates
    - change the firewire
    -Taking out the firewire card and re inserted it
    -reset bios
    -Tried capturing through the live editing desk DATAVIDEO SE-500-that captured for about 39minutes but then same problem.
    2nd-It gives a low level error occurred capture device..I've look through the forums but don't find any related to this  capture device error
