Encore CS4 Library files missing

I just noticed that I was unable to see the standard menus or buttons in Encore so I checked the Library folder only to find that it does not exist. Any suggestions as to where this folder should be?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm new here, but have not found a solution to my problem of no library in Encore CS4.  I found one site that had instructions for those of us who bought the discs (Creative Suite 4 production premium) but I cannot seem to get the disc to work properly.
The instructions were to put in the first disc go to setup.exe, deselect all items, select Encore, custom install, select Adobe Encore CS4 library, and install.  However, when I put in the disc and tried to deselect all items it would not work.  I could not select nor deselect, only fully install the suite all over again (which I have done 3 times).  Is there some trick to selecting or deselecting?
Is there anyone with a solution to the library problem or should I try to get Adobe to send me another disc?
Something strange when installing, I only used application disc 1 & 2, but have application discs 3 & 4 that are not used and seem to not have any exe files or usable files, a content disc that seems to have only a read me pdf file and a learning disc that directs me to websites.
Any help would be great.

  • Library Files missing in CS4

    I have installed Encore CS4 and notice that I have no resources from which to build menus and background--or the library files that are required for any version.
    Encore CS4 defaults to a directory it chose when it was installed but the directory path does not exist and I can find no place where Encore CS4 would have placed these resources.
    Apparently, there was a change in the location of the library file from what was used in CS3.
    Please assist.

    I would suggest you uninstall everything since you have the the Master Collection and do the uninstaller from the Adobe Uninstall utility. Then to make certain you have it properly uninstalled run the clean up utility or script which you can get from the adobe site.
    If the utility shows you no apps to uninstall you properly removed the apps more then likely now I would try to go through the trouble of locating the preferences for the Adobe applications and delete them with the bin. Then reinstall everything from the Master Collection.
    When uninstallling use the uninstallers that should be present for Encore and Premiere first then use the one for the Master Collection. I think it would be wise to do it this way.
    Good luck.

  • Encore CS4 Library Missing ?

    I just installed Encore CS4 from the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Disks and I can not access the library files.
    I see a tab for general but that's it, I have nothing else no menus buttons ect.
    I tried an update and re-install but nothing.
    Do anyone have any ideas ?
    Thanks for any help you can give me !
    Scott

    I found the problem.
    I had to make a call to India tech support !
    It was that I was installing Encore CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 from the last disk in the pack because there was a directory for CS4.
    I thought I cound not run any of the CS5 program on the disk because I was on 32 bit XP machine so I never installed the first disk that does install all the CS5 programs except Premiere Pro CS5 & After efffects CS5
    Now I have Encore CS5 with the librarys working on my 32 bit XP Machine.
    Next time I run the first install disk not the last disk !
    Thanks for all your help everyone !

  • After HD crash, restoring to new HD. Library files missing or corrupt. How can I get iTunes 10 to see my music

    The hard drive on my fairly new HP Pavilion desktop died hard on boot-up. HP replaced the drive the next day.  Used the Recovery Disks and got the unit up and running. I have been using Memeo Premium Backup and never did get any error messages during backup.  When I went to restore the data, much of it is missing or corrupt. In the Restore data on the backup drive, I can see many folders but only a few have data.  I opened a ticket with Memeo and after they made a few useless comments, they closed the ticket.
    Fortunately, most of my iTunes data (folders and files) were restored in-tact.  The exceptions were the library files, which are missing. The library files in the Previous Itunes Library folder were corrupted.  I installed iTunes 10, but there are no songs, podcasts,etc, in it.  I have tried every article in the knowledgebase and tried to fix the ITL and XML files, but it is hopeless. Also, when iTunes is running, at the top it shows .iTunes Preferences.plist.  So, I have a disaster and about 10 gb of music going nowhere.  Any ideas?  I would really appreciate any help I can get.
    Brad

    They are all mostly the same size at around 6MB but there are a couple that are very large 55MB (including the 30 tmp file I mentioned above.  There is also one around 7KB).  I tried renaming the most recent (as of 8:30PM last night)  tmp file as iTunes Library.itl but when I launch iTunes, I get the "The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" popup.
    But when I go into a directory I created to get the most recent itl file I've been saving as a backup and copy it into the iTunes directory to replace the one that I tried to make with the tmp file, and launch iTunes, my whole library loads with no problem.
    However, if history repeats itself, this will work for at most a couple of days before I have to copy the saved itl file back into the iTunes directory.

  • 10.1.4 library file missing for help and update not working

    Just updated to AR 10.1.4 and everything seems to be working except the help and update functions are not working. I get the message that the library help file is missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled in both FF15 anf IE9 with the same result and I installed from both Adobe and FileHippo with the same result. Anybody have any suggestions?

    On the AR 10.1.4 tool bar menu click the "Help" item and the drop down screen shows a number of items to select from. If I click on "Adobe Reader X Help" I get a message saying "the library file is missing and I should reinstall". As for "check for updates" nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled AR 10.1.4 from two different browsers, IE9 and FF 15 with no difference. I'm using Vista 32 bit OS.

  • Can't open Encore CS4 file created on iMac

    Is there any way of opening an Encore CS4 project file (created on
    a Mac) in the Windows XP version of Encore CS4???
    Is this also a problem with the CS5 version of Encore?
    Thanks for any help/answers! 

    Unfortunately no. The NCOR files are not X-platform.

  • CS4 Library empty  - Many threads here... few answeres

    I've installed CS4 from the CS4 Production Premium CDs .  Did what appeared to be a full install.  The routine doesn't offer many choices.... install or browse.
    I'm just now getting to Encore... having spent several days working up a project with PS AE and Premiere.
    Now I find some nasty little suprise in Encore that I'm missing all library files.
    I see many threads here with a search on Encore library... but not really usable  answers.
    Many suggestions to call adobe... not much help late at night.  Nor should it be remotely necessary to learn where the library files are or why they are not installed.
    Some hits suggested the files should be in C:\Program Files\Adobe\...EncoreCS4\library. Or something like that....
    Of course I have no such directory. There is a 5th disc in the set marked `Content' that appears to hold nothing related to encore or library files.
    And in fact appears to have very little of value at all.  A folder makred `Documentation' has pdfs that are really little more than README files.  Not really documentation at all.
    There is a directory marked `Goodies' holding only some photoshop files and a fonts.
    The whole `Contents' disc appears to be little more than junk really.
    So after spending lots of money and a good bit of time... I'm missing major amounts of the product...
    Surely someone knows where to get this stuff.

    Dear All,
    Ye gods what a palaver - I have had the same problem with the library in CS4 Encore - having read all the pain that others are going through (and I have gone through) - here is the solution (from Adobe no less). There are obviously two separate resolutions - one for the 'boxed set' and another for the downloaded suite.
    Issue
    When you access the Library panel in Adobe Encore CS4, the panel contains no content. Additionally, there is no sub-folder named Library within the Encore CS4 application folder on your hard drive.
    Solution
    1. Verify enough disk space is available.
    Verify that at least 5 GB of of free space is available on the hard drive on which Encore CS4 is installed.
    2. Install the Encore CS4 library.
    Do one of the following:
    If you downloaded Premiere Pro CS4 or Adobe Creative Suite 4 from the Adobe Online Store:
    In a web browser, go to to www.adobe.com/membership.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    Click View Order History.
    Download the Content Extra And Resources item.
    Do one of the following:
    Mac OS: Double-click the .dmg that you downloaded. On the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Content disk image, open the Encore CS4 Functional Content folder. Then double-click Setup.
    Windows: Double-click the .exe file that you downloaded.
    Follow the on-screen instructions.
    If you purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 as physical (boxed) software:
    Insert installation Disc 1 into your computer's DVD drive.
    Double-click Setup (Mac OS) or Setup.exe (Windows) on the disc.
    In the list of items that can be installed, deselect all of the items. Then select Adobe Encore CS4.
    Click Install.
    Follow the on-screen instructions.
    For our own solution we are doing the install again (from a boxed set) to another pc and will then pick up the missing library folder (and hopefully all of its' content) and plonk it into the Encore CS4 folder on the pc that requires it (this will hopefully mean that no damage/harm can come to all the work already done within CS4 on the master pc) if anything bad happened to all the work (backed up or no) achieved to date then I would be forced to board a plane to California and take a large gnome under my arm (with reference to John Cleese & Fawlty Towers). C'mon Adobe - this stuff costs a fortune, at least make it work !!
    Hope this works for everyone (hope it works for me come to that).

  • Encore CS4 missing library, styles

  • Encore CS6 missing Library files

    Hello all freaks.
    I have in recent years been CS5 Production Premium installed and then decided yesterday to upgrade to CS6. I bought, downloaded and installed the Production Premium. I installed also package Adobe Premier Pro CS6 additional ReadMe files plus content (menus, buttons and backgrounds) for Adobe Encore CS6.
    In Encore CS6 it created the groups Corporate, Entertainment, General, Technology, Travel and Wedding, but there appear no menus, buttons or backgrounds when clicked.
    I've looked in the respective folders under Adobe Encore CS6/Library/, but they contain no psd files, only two m2vloc files of about 10-20 kb each.
    When I browse the corresponding folders in my old CS5, there is a large amount of psd files with menus, buttons and backgrounds in these folders, but not in my CS6 installation.
    I hope someone can help me with a solution so I can move on.
    Thank you in advance.
    NB: Although it looks so, I'm not new in the forum, but have been here for the last 10 years. However, Adobe's staff has (at my request) deleted my original profile, as it constantly showed my e-mail address instead of my username/nickname. It did so today again, so I have once again created a new temporary profile until Adobe gets solved the problem.

    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html
    Step 1: Follow the instruction in the top part: "Solution: Install the CS6 Functional Content"
    This will install the basic library. If you have CS5.5 installed, backup your Encore library there; it will be deleted by the install.
    Step 2: Follow the instructions at the bottom of the link above: "Additional solution: Install the Resource Central library content"
    I just noticed that the link about this topic that was present for months at the top of this forum is no longer there.

  • Encore CS3 missing Library Files

    I have installed Encore CS3 and also purchased the Adobe Master CS3 DVD 30 day try out. On three different PCs. Running Windows Pro, tried different user types, MSconfig to turn off program when installing, you name it.... When I run Encore and look for any Library file nothing is there.. just a General Tab and no files. I called Adobe after 45 minutes, 5 different contact people I was told to do a reinstall (duh!).. I did that same problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to get Encore CS3 to install the Library content files or where to locate these to install.
    Thanks
    DP

    Neither does the full version. I purchased the full version this week and NO LIBRARIES
    I upgraded (at least I thought I was upgrading) Premiere and Encore this week. I am close to asking for a refund since I have had nothing but issues with both.
    My problem right now is the libraries for Encore CS3. You know the templates for menus and buttons etc. Some people call that content but the useless people in India call the manuals content so I am trying to be clearer.
    I bought the downloaded version so please do not tell me they are on disk #3. I download 5 files and installed them. Some of them I re-downloaded and I installed twice. They are.
    - ADBEPPROCS3_ALP.exe (Premiere Pro CS3)
    - ADBEAENCC3_ALP.exe (Encore CS3)
    - PPROCS3_Cont_ALP.EXE (Premiere Pro Content/manuals)
    - AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.exe (Content/manual installer for Encore CS3 manual)
    - AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.7z (3 gig file of foreign language manuals)
    I am running on an HP M8040N with Vista Ultimate (32) I of course search the Adobe site and Google and I have seen other people with the same problem. After spending 1 hour with "Tech Support" in India I was told I needed to call Adobe Tech Support Monday thru...you get the idea.
    WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR...the pre made Templates, Menus, Buttons, etc. that came with the disk version of Encore.
    Can anyone help or am I effed for the week-end and most likely beyond?

  • "File not found" error when I try to render an animated menu (on mac) Encore CS4

    I'm making a dvd with at least 2 animated menus. It means that I have a 1 movie in the background of each menu. Over my background, I have 3 thumbnail buttons which contain a small piece of movie animated movie too. When I try to to view my menus, in order to see the animation in the background and in the thumbnails I need to render the animation through File - Render - Motion menus.
    The problem is that it works for the first menu but then when I continue my navigation to the second menu that has animation in background and thumbnails too, if I choose Render Motion menus,after 3/4 of the rendering it says "file not found" even if all the files are well in place in their folders.
    Does anyone would have an idea of how to resolve this stupid problem that prevents me to burn my project on a DVD since the same errors will appear during the burning process (I use a mac with Encore CS4). Is it a bug? What are the solutions? Thanks for answering.
    Steven.

    SteveDVD,
    The use of the .WMV was because that was part of the Library .EM template. I would not anticipate problems with other formats, so long as they are supported and the same for all of your Menus in the Project.
    If you have done several Motion Menu Renderings, you might want to clear Encore's Media Cache, just in case it is still referencing previous Render files.
    And yes, the re-Importation should yield the same result as Linking/re-Linking.
    Unfortunately, I do not have CS4, so I can't test this for you. There do seem to be a few real Bugs in the various CS4 programs, and maybe this is one?
    That "File Not Found" rings a bell in my feeble brain. Seems that there was a post on that, but I do not remember it being related to Motion Menus. Maybe search will yield something of use.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Help with connect Encore Library files

    I have Encore CS4 and CS5, but when I open them there is nothing in the library and am unab
    le to access Resource Central.  I see the Encore files under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS4 .  Is there anyway to connect to it?
    Thanks!

    In that Path, do you have the files, sort of like this:
    Note: that folder structure is for Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, plus I have an extra folder, or two, but yours should look very similar. That would mean that the installation of the content is good.
    Seems that there was a fairly recent thread about Library Content not showing, but cannot recall the details, or the solution right now. I'll see if I can locate that, to refresh my memory.
    Good luck,

  • Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

    Hello,
    I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
    However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
    Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
    It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
    Thank you,
    Chris...

    Hey,
    thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
    Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
    Thanks,
    Chris...

  • Encore CS4 Missing Frames/Stops Starts  and Blue Screen Crashes During Playback

    I'm opening Premiere Pro CS4 with the default presets of HDV Capture, HDV 1080i30 software only mode. I'm capturing from my Canon HV20 using firewire HDV out 1440 x 1080. All goes well during the editing process but when I Dynamic Link and playback in Encore CS4 I observe dropped frames or stop and starts in Encore timeline sequence. At times I may even crash Encore with a Blue Screen. While still running Encore I can go back to Premiere Pro and play the timeline sequence with no issues. I will mention that I have the Matrox RT.X2 installed. But when starting a project I'm doing software only and disabling RT.X2 hardware playback. If I remove all effects in the timeline sequence and then Dynamic link to Encore the playback is normal with no effects. I did exported the Premiere Pro CS4 project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 with a setting of MPEG 2 Blu-ray 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality. I than import this MPEG2 back into Adobe Encore CS4 and it plays without dropping frames or hang-ups.

    Try to remember this:
    Encore "Tries" to playback from premiere pro.  If you have a full set of previews available, it will play those, but you are probably seeing a lot of dropped frames and choppy video if your previews in premiere are set pretty low.  What you can do to combat this--in my experience--is export your video from premiere into a whole file in full format (in a non-lossy format with full frames, and in it's proxy equivalent;  I use Prores LT for many projects, and export that as a final output from premiere), then have that encode in an h.264 format (which will maximize smooth motion and quality playback).  Now... ...In your encore project, you should be outside of your original formats and in the intermediary that encore will recognize, so you should have it "Locate transcoded file".  Once you have done so, it will playback that movie in the preview.  I've done it.  With CS6 and 4gb ram with a vidcard at 256mb and a core2duo 2.16ghz, it plays fine.  With CS4 the encoding takes a while, and if you go to dvd, even longer for compression to work properly.  I use Compressor to output AVCHD .264 stream and an AC3 file.  When I locate the transcode for BD, I locate the .264 file first, then I get asked for the AC3 file.  This allows me to import them both, and have Encore encode them into the transport stream without transcoding.  I use Distributed processing to get the job done quickly, as I have minimal access to several computers and have connected them by that method for a Render Farming setup.  It works well.  With a hardware based device playing back your files, you won't see the same performance in Encore.  It has to make two hops already to get to your video, and adding a third (goes from encore to Premiere, then to codec, then plays normally;  third step is to external hardware, which eats up processing like crazy when it has to come all the way back to an encoding output to screen through encore, adding more steps for the system along the way) really can slow down the performance in Encore.  IF you take the Steps out by encoding a finished playback stream, Encore will handle it quickly with it's own processing.  It really does work well.  If you don't like it, make your changes in Premiere, then re-encode with your hardware and make an h.264 file for encore again.  You can use AME, but you'll always get standard Blu-ray (old file-stream format; lesser res and quality).  You can use Compressor to make AVCHD which allows for 264 output that is PSF or progressive that is interpreted as simultaneous fields (fake interlace), or even solid progressive formatting for AVCHD compatible players, and you can render-farm it to speed up the encoding process.

Maybe you are looking for
