Does "Save As" still bloat the project file in 7.2?
Back in CS6 (IIRC), a "Save As" would cause project file bloat so I stopped using it. Was this bug fixed?
It's a useful feature for easy and frequent checkpointing (especially with all the hard program crashes I have been getting recently, that even require forceful termination of a dead PP by Windows).

I am working on the video hosting website where users can upload videos, I am able to save the uploaded file if I give the absolute path in my java file where as when I think it will be a better idea if I can use a relative path...Relative to what?
In file paths, a relative path is relative to the current working directory. And in an application server, the current working directory isn't related to your application (or any of the other applications) in any way. So that's unlikely to be what you want.
So, relative to what?

How do I save Icon templates with the Project files?
My project files are stored in a folder, say, "My Documents\LabVIEW\My Project", and this folder, in turn, is saved under (Sub)Version Control. I'd like to include a sub-folder called "Icon Templates" that could contain the icon templates I'm using in this project, but they seem to be "forced" into "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates" (almost the same, but the "owning folder" is different).
Is there any way to change, preferably on a Project-by-Project basis, the default location for Icon Editor templates? I tried to figure this out, and saw that one could change where "3rd Party" templates were stored, but that didn't seem to do anything (maybe because I don't understand the concept of a "3rd Party"?).
An important (to me!) reason to accomplish this is that I want to commit my new icons when I commit the rest of the Project, and have them appear when I checkout the project on another machine (or do an update from the Repository).
Suggestions welcomed ...
Bob SchorWell, I thought of this as well. I did change Default Data Documents (which seems to be where Icon Editor expects to find its Templates file) to My Documents\LabVIEW (instead of LabVIEW Data), and that worked (sort of). But that still doesn't solve my problem. I have multiple projects -- My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1, say, and My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 2, and want to have a specific set of icon templates for each stored, say, as Project 1\Icon Templates and Project 2\Icon Templates.
My problem is two-fold. First, there is a setting in Icon Editors, Tools, that seems to be designed to let you designate where your "special" templates are located, which I've set to, for example, My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1\Icon Templates. However, when using the Icon editor, these templates never appear! It's as though it's still "locked" into the "3rd Party" sub-folder of the parent Icon Templates folder. Second, even if this worked (which it doesn't), is there a way to "embed" this setting as part of Project so that the settings "stay with the Project" (and can thereby be customized)? One important reason to do this is to simplify organizing Projects and folders on disk -- I keep them "together" (use the same structure for both, so a Project is contained, on disk, inside a single set of nested folders), which greatly simplifies and facilitates using Version Control to manage development.
Thanks for the reference. I didn't know about all of the symbolic names. It does appear that they are only used in the VI Search Path entry, correct?

CC 2014 trial. MPEG MOVIE clips flickering on my time line! after render, and after export. tried all kinds of sequence settings,taking out transitions and effects ,even the audio tracks.....still flickering. They play fine outa the project files!? HELLLLLPPPPP!!!!
We can not see your computer, your settings or even know what your source files are because we are not in the same room as you are!
We cant see what you are doing wrong ...so you will have to tell us a lot more and show us some screen grabs of your settings. -
hi i have just completed an imovie project and tried to save a hard copy on the desktop so i dragged the project file from the home page then movies folder and now the prioject seems to be lost , how can i get it back ?
It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences -
I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image. When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable. It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?
"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder. -
I crate a project on Final Cut pro X. A 52 mn movie, that works really good on the time line. But I can't export it on DVD or IPad or other devices. The process is engaed but without effective effect. After one hour no result. It seems that the "project" files is not physically recognise by Final Cut export routine. Is anybody had such a bad surprise ?
Tell everyone what type of video (format) you shot in the camera, what are your project settings and exactly what settings are you choosing when you use Share.

WAV file does not sound as good as project files
Hello,
I am a new MAC user. So I am still trying to get the hang of things: )
I am using Soundtrack Pro 2 to master a CD. The original CD has problems - some noise, low levels, EQ issues.
I began by opening a new audio project and bringing in one track(song)at a time.
The tracks are 2 channel stereo.
With help from many of the program tools, I have managed to create a better overall quality of sound.
My problem seems to be when I go to save the finished mix to a WAV file - the saved file does not have the same "punch" or even volume level that the working project file has. and in some cases sounds worse.
I have also noticed that just by opening a new audio file project the "export" option is grayed out thus I must save a "copy of"
Again since I am new to using the MAC I may be missing something.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
acreationsOK - how about this:
What would be the best format to save the project file as - getting the closest match of sound quality? -
IMovie '11 will no longer show project or open the project file
Upon finishing a project, I was ready to do a Share > Export Movie command, and opted first to do a restart on my computer (by first doing a File > Quit in iMovie).
Now my project no longer shows up in the projects pane!
While the import of the original footage still exists in the Event Library pane, the project is nowhere to be found in the Projects Library pane.
In addition, while the project file that sits in my iMovie Projects folder is there, it will not open!
When I option click it to open with iMovie, iMovie launches normally (displaying no messages) but does not show the project in the projects pane!
What has happened here? The iMovie Projects folder is on my internal hard drive and I have not ever moved any files around. Is there any way to get it back?
I have tried to open my project file on a different computer that is networked in the same room, but the same happens: iMovie launches normally, however the project does not appear in the the Projects Library pane.
As a test, I have created a couple new projects that I have named "Test1" and "Test2" and they indeed show up normally every time I launch iMovie or do an "open with iMovie" command from the iMovie Projects folder. But my origional project just doesn't work. Please help!
If this is of any help: my origional project comprises of a 26 minute MOV file that I have simply imported in iMovie and have added subtitles (no transitions). I had been working for two days on it, and there were 2 times early on when I had to force quit iMovie because I was getting the spinning ball - I was worried about whether the changes were saved, but each time they were indeed saved and I could access the project normally. (I had considered this was caused by a shortage of memory, so I did not think anything of it.) Since then and up to the moment of the problem, I had occasionally shut down or restarted my computer (by first doing a File > Quit in iMovie) with no problems up to now.
Looking through the forum, I have tried 1) logging in/out, 2) logging in as a visitor, 3) creating a new admin account, in addition to 4) subtracting the iMovie preferences file from the Library, but nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any way in looking at the meta data of a .MOV exported from Final Cut 7 that allows me to see what the project file was? I have this exported file, but I can't locate the original project file from where it was from. Was hoping there would be some sort of data that exists that shows me the directory. I've searched by filename and date created all over my drives but no luck.
Well, FCP comes from an age where it was assumed the editor had his $#%^ together.
EDIT: One of my mentors had the conviction that every day when you left the cutting room, you should leave it in such a way that a perfect stranger could walk in in the morning and pick up right where you left off. I really strive to live up to that ideal. I know we all get crazy busy and don't always properly archive our stuff, but it DOES save a lot of headaches down the road.

After completing my video, I saved it and turned off the computer. I came back later and upon opening the video got an error message that read "The Project File is Missing or Invalid." These warnings popped up for all of the transitions that are in my video. Where did they go?
Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iMovie starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iMovie to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iMovie and see whether you still have the problem.

I used to use Movie Maker and it would be able to handle lots of file uploads and big projects. I figure iMovie can do the same since it's newer and it's on my iMac. I was working on a project for a few months, it was working fine up until about a few days ago when the project file just stopped working. Not getting any audio or visuals and the screen went grey. I hope to not lose the project file as I've spent a lot of time on it. The project will still show up in iMovie, but it won't play. Other project files will, but this one won't for some reason. It's my first time using this program and I assumed it would be fine, but now it's causing me big problems. Anyone else run into a similar problem?
But it is I jsut can sync, back up files, or anything becuase its stuck at this screene and wont do execute when i click either of those button

I moved the project files and now I can't get them back into iMovie 11
I was working on a project but I ran out of disk space before I could finish it. Now, for this very purpose, I have an external hard drive with plenty of space on it. So I tried moving the folder with all my project files onto the external hd, and now iMovie can't find my project anymore. With iMovie '06 it was as simple as hitting "save as" and saving the project to the external hd, but I guess that's not complicated enough for the new version. Now I can't get into my project. I even try clicking on the actual project file, and it goes to iMovie as if the project was about to open, but nothing happens. So I fear I wasted a lot of time working on that project only to have to start all over because I ran out of disk space.
Someone please tell me there's a way to get the project files open again. Thanksenoughsaid3 wrote:

that is a simple one and should be a routine after purchasing a new drive (in a Mac-only environment!):
• on your Mac, Apps/Utilities you'll find Disk 'Utility'
• on the left lane, you'll notice your connected hard drive(s)
• select it, click on the 'erase' tab
• NOTE: FORMATTING A DRIVE MEANS ERASING ALL CONTENT ON THAT DRIVE!
that's why you should do it as step#1 after purchasing a new drive

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?
Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :( -
How to restore a song from the "Project File Backups"
Help! I recorded onto an external harddrive, then copied all the project folders to a different drive. Now, I can't find the project files, but I can find the "Project File Backups" in the Project Folders. I suspect the original project files were saved separately from these folders on the original hard drive, but that is long gone, so I am hoping some one can tell me how to recreate the project from the files in the "Project File Backups" folder.
ANOTHER CLUE: Stranger still, I can't find any of my logic song files using FILE>OPEN, SPOTLIGHT, nor FINDER- Only those that still populate the "open recent" list.
Any ideas? Thanks friends!Hi there
Your Project File Backups are simply the previous Project files you've saved. These files are essentially the strip settings, layouts, midi, and pointers to the audio files of your Project.
If you have trashed the audio files then your are outta luck. This is why you should Consolidate (File-->Project-->Consolidate) all of your projects into one Project Folder on your HD. That way all of your Audio files as well as your sample files and UltraBeat files remain consolidated within a Project Folder. You can then Copy that entire Project folder to another location and have all of the respective files for that Project.
Sorry for your loss.

The project file could not be loaded
a new windows 8.1, VS2013 install ... I use skydrive to sync all my source files to a folder named c:\skydrive. When I try to open a .SIN file from the c:\skydrive folder I get an error in visual studio:
C:\Skydrive\c#\AutoCoder\AutoCoder.csproj : error : The project file could not be loaded. The file cannot be accessed by the system.
C:\Skydrive\c#\AutoCoder\AutoCoder.csproj
When I right click the .csproj file in windows explorer I do not see a security tab. Not sure if my user is authorized to the file or not.
How to open a project in VS2013 from my skydrive folder?
thanks,Hi Steve,
Generally we could open the project from the skydrive folder, I often use it. As you said that it doesn’t work in your VS, I doubt that it would be related to this project.
Please delete the .suo file in your project folder, and then reopen the project file again (.csproje) again.
If possible, you could run your VS as the admin, and then open this project.
If still no help, maybe you could create a new project for it.
