FCP said it couldn't save a project, then crashed, all changes lost.???

What was I doing? Nothing unusual.I'd brought in some files, had removed some others, all working fine when played in the canvas.
It is kind of driving me crazy.

Hi -
Open your project in FCP, go to the menu File > Restore Project. A window will open that will allow you to select the last (or earlier, if you wish) autosaved copy of you project. You will lose the work you have done since the last autosave.
You can set the autosave duration by going to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. On the General pane you can set the frequency of autosaves in the lower left corner.
I keep mine set to every two minutes, so if I have a crash, I never lose more than two minutes of work.
Hope this helps.

Win7-64 Photoshop CC blank Save As dialog, then crash, when working with video / frame animations

Hi, I recently updated to CC from CS6 and am having issues when working with PSDs containing video layers, or are set up as frame animations: When attempting to Save As, the dialog will be completely blank except for the Save and Cancel buttons.   If I press cancel, then return to Save As, CC then often crashes.
Here is the Error Event from Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 14.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5176451b
Faulting module name: MediaCoreIF.DLL, version: 7.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51573a21

So far I am only having these issues if I have been working with video layers and then frame animations. Frame animations in particular seem to cause instability as I can often work with video layers all day without a problem. Then if I import video frames to layers, or open a PSD containing a frame animation, the Save As may not necessarily work.
Sometimes closing and restarting Photoshop will allow me to save again, but then sometimes a whole system reboot is required. It is only temporary though.
I am not running antivirus software or other apps aside from what starts at boot.

Frustrating that this thread has petered out, since I'm having the exact same issue. Did you ever find a way to improved stability?
Also of note, the issue followed me across machines. Two weeks ago I purchased a new machine, figured if that didn't solve the problem nothing would... It didn't. :\
The only similar factors are that the machines both are 64bit Windows 7 (a fresh OEM install on the new box) and have nVidia-brand graphics cards. (Again, though - not the SAME graphics card, picked up a new one with the new machine.) No drive cloning was involved: this is completely new hardware, a fresh factory install of Windows 7, different antivirus (went from AVG to Avast), and new download of Photoshop CC from CreativeCloud.
Looks like our event details are quite similar, too.

VB6 - can't save a project with flash.ocx control - why won't Adobe fix?

After a full day of research, this seems to be an ongling problem for at least a year now.   VB6 developers who have gone in to do maintenance on their applications that call flash.ocx are finding that they can no longer save their projects because of some change that was introduced by Adobe in the release following flash10e.ocx. In another post here http://forums.adobe.com/message/2931807#2931807 a work around is given of uninstalling flash and installing any version on or before 100452. Because the applications still run fine until the developer tries to make a change and save the VB6 project, the scope of this problem has probably not been fully realized. For this reason, this issue will likely only gain momentum in the future.
I spent the morning contacting several people at Adobe and I discovered the only way apparently to get support for this issue is to open a "web case".   From further research, what I understand a "web case" costs around $200 and with that price there is nothing telling me what comes with a "web case". I mean, if I were to buy one, would the problem be fixed or would they research it and say "I am very sorry but we are not going to fix that".   If there is a guarantee that the problem will be fixed, then can Adobe establish a pool where the $200 cost can be shared by everyone who has the issue?   That couldn't be more than a buck or two each because if you google this problem "System Error &H80004005 using flash.ocx" you will find about 5 pages of people reporting the problem.
Microsoft reports that a System Error &H80004005 error can normally be fixed by chaning the OCX in this manner:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223152
Sounds like Adobe made a slight change to the flash.ocx in the release following 100452 that removed the couple of definitions descibed by Microsoft in the URL above. All of Microsoft's suggestions for the developer using the bad OCX call fail (simply adding a line to the OCX:
InitCommonControls(void)
, however, since the problem (and the answer) is locked deep inside the flash.ocx source code, only Adobe can resolve it. Let's hope someone reads this and takes action.   In advance - please and thank you Adobe.

There's little chance anyone from Adobe will see your posting here, though they do on occasion find their way here for reasons unknown. What you might try is to submit a bug report. Going that route at least puts it into a system that requires it to be processed... whether or not the processing will lead to a solution that helps you is indeterminable from this end.

File error: Access Denied in FCP when trying to save a project.

Can anyone help? I'm trying to save a project in FCP, however I keep getting an error stating access denied.
Thanks

Save it to a different folder or hard drive, quit and then try repairing your permissions with Disk Utility...
You could also go to the folder where you are trying to save to, press command-i and check to see if the ownership is correct... then try to save (then run the Permissions repair).

Is it possible to save a project in cs4 and then open it in cs3

Hi, i would be greatful if anyone knows if there is a solution to this problem.
At home i use cs4 but in university they only have cs3, i know it is possible to open up a cs3 project in cs4 but unfortunatly if i do any further work on this at home in cs4 and save the project it no longer seems compatible with after effects cs3. So, is it possible to open a cs4 project in cs3?
Any help would be extreamly appreciated.
Ryan

No, it's not possible without using hacks. And Adobe can't support or endorse hacks
Bear in mind that not only there are new features in a new version which can't possibly be recreated by an older version - also, there are enhancements to existing features, which would make them render differently in the two versions.
That said, there are people posting such hacks, as Sébastien pointed out.

FCP project file crashes before even opening

I am working for a client and using there system which is a G4 iMac running OS 10.4.11 and I am editing using FCP Studio 2, FCP 6.0.4
The quick is I am trying to open a project which recently has been taking forever to load and just recently crashes Final Cut Pro once it opens, which prevents me to work on it further, I was able to open it once long enough to copy the files into a new FCP project but after I saved and restarted FCP from the new Project folder I got the same result. I have tried going back into my auto save vault and open old files but I get the same result. I am able to open other FCP projects so I don't think it is a problem with FCP but more so with this particular file. ok so maybe that was the long version, please can any one offer any solutions or is all lost?
thanks

It slow t load while “Reading Project” this is a photo based project actually its all photos. a time laps of over a month or more taking pictures everyday at approx 1 pic every hour or 30 mins. so I have alot of photos in the FCP project file. this i can understand for the slow loading time. but what is causing the FCP project to crash so often? i did try emptying the preference files but still no luck.

Problem with "Save as Project"

Hi!
I recently saved a song "as project" from the file menu. A folder was created on my desck top with the name of the song but it does not contain a .lso file to load it into Logic Express. The folder does contain another folder with audio files but that's it.
Question- how can I get these fles back into Logic and will they load up correctly (in the proper tracks, correctly synchronized etc) ?
I did some digging and found that there is supposed to be options under File>project> but these are greyed out...
I would be very greatful for any help in getting into these files and resuing the work done so far.
Thanks
Dale

I have used that option on every songs I do in LE, and it always gives me the .Iso files in the project folder. Sometimes I'll start a song in GarageBand for the ease of tossing out a drum part to a scratch guitar, and then I open it with LE, save as Project, and it works the same way every time. I have changed very little prefs in LE from the default.

I just downloaded After Effects CS5.5 Trial and can't save my project

Everything appers to work fine. I can add video, images, sound, but when i click save-save as, nothing happens. When I close the project it asks, do you wish to save "untiled project.aep" before closing and I click yes. Nothing happens, AE closes and the work is lost. I've reinstalled AE twice. I redownloaded the installation packet the second time in case something was corrupted. I used the online chat help, but they told me to call tech support. Trouble is, they're closed for 2-3 days depending upon the holiday. If any of you folks have any ideas, please let me know. Also, I use a lot of Adobe products and as a result, I've deleted all of the preferences folders several times to no avail. I know that those can get wonky and cause issues in Adobe products from time to time. By the way, no errors are coming up. Windows Vista 64 bit
Thanks!

Sounds more like a systemic issue where the dialog is not displayed. Any chance you once had a multi-screen setup and didn't reset it properly? This might draw the dialog in an invisible area. Also generally check whether your file dialog may not appear below the application. As a last thing also check whether your file dialog is not reduced to a tiny spec. Strange as it is, but it's possible to resize it that way and it only appears as a random artifact...

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

Unable to save/publish Projects on Project Server 2010() using Project Pro 2007 and 2010

Hi,
Recently we have upgraded from Project Server 2007 to 2010 SP-2 (BCM enabled) environment and from last few days we are getting issue with Project Plans where PMs are not able to update Projects means save and publish the Project using MS Project 2010/2007.
Whenever PMs try to open project using MS Project 2010 SP-2, it gets load successfully but when they hit save and publish no jobs are getting fired up nothing is happening. Only way to get out from MS Project 2010 window is to close the Project window and
and click discard changes. No error and exception windows are popping out in MS Project 2010, no error/problem/issue clue at all from MS Project 2010.
But when I try to update this Project plan for very first time using MS Project 2007 Sp-2 then I am getting below error
for any subsequent save and publish using MS Project 2007-SP2 getting below error
As an alternative I have tried to open this Project Plan using web and there it is getting opened saved and published successfully from PWA absolutely no issue.
Also I have saved this Project locally as XML and saved and published it on Server successfully. But after someday again this project got corrupt PMs started getting same problem again
I have also looked at ULS logs but not getting anything useful there.
So any guesses why this could happen that can give me pointers to find actual root cause, please let me know.
Thanks much !!!

Used below steps to fix the Projects on MSP 2010.
1) Open corrupted project in MS Project connected to PS 2010 Prod env.
2) Goto > Resource > Add Resource > Build Team From Enterprise
3) Check is there any local resource who has not replaced with corresponding enterprise resource. If yes then replace all those local resources with enterprise resource. If not then move to next step.
4) Open resource sheet view and sort or filter by local resources.
5) Then add few columns in resource sheet view like "Windows User Account, Email Address , Base Calendar etc".
6) Now check has any local resource having enterprise attribute assigned to it, if yes then delete or assign local value as appropriate.
7) Then GoTo > File > Save & Send > Save as project file > Save for sharing (at local location)
8) Close project plan window and click "Yes" to save changes.
9) Restart MS Project 2010 and open your project from local location.
10) Then Goto > File > Save & Send > "Publish to Project Server". This will open "Import Project Wizard" to validate Resources and Task in Project.
11) Then in Import Project Wizard window at left hand side click "Map Resource" to validate project resources.
12) This will "Map Project Resource to Enterprise Resource " check all the resources highlighted with "Red" font and map "Standard" calendar to local resources.
Note: Don't worry about local resource assigned "Standard calendar" but still highlighted "Red".
13) Then click "OK" and click on "Continue to step 2" at bottom of "Import Project Wizard".
14) Make sure you get number of errors 0 in step 2, else click on validate resource and take proper corrective action as explained in step 6.
15) If you leave at least one resource as a local resource (unmapped to an enterprise resource), you will see the local resource in the Import Resource grid on the right side
of the Confirm Resources page.
Examine the value in the "Import" column (if not able to see this column then insert this as new column) for the local resource .
The default value is "Yes", then change the value in the "Import" column
to "No", else system will import the local resource as an enterprise
resource.
16) Then "Continue to step 3, 4 and 5".
17) Then at Step 5 , Save project to Project Server by clicking "Save as" link.
18) Then publish the project to update the plan at PWA 2010.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Received trascode loading error message when I tried to save a project in Encore CS4`

I have Encore CS4 operating on Windows 8 64 bit. I tried to save a project and received the following message: Error loading transcode preset Internal/Blu-ray NTSC SD MPEG-2. The project is to be a DVD not BLU-ray. I opened the original project as administrator....help
Thanks,
Bryan

Yes, it let me create a project. The error came when I tried to save...not save as...also came when I went to build the DVD. It always saves before it begins to build and the same error message came up again. It is a very simple DVD...no menus....just a plug and play. It is a thearter performance that was shot and then edited in Pro and opening titles and credits added. The thought is that the DVD would be put into the player and the timeline begins to play from the opening titles to the end credits...nothing fancy......

"Save as project" crashes 100% of the time on first save

Hopefully this is covered somewhere but I couldnt find it.
Every time I try to save a new and unsaved little scetch to my external firewire 800 GlyphQ HD (or anywhere) it allways crashes Logic after the save is done.
I can then restart logic and load the newly saved project that just crashed. And everything within the project is saved just fine and works.
When I just save it from there it doesnt crash. Only the first save crashes it.
Any advice or links to similar post appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I can't give you a solution, but the things I'd try to troubleshoot:
- Perform all the standard troubleshooting procedures (preferences, new default song, ProAppSupport and so on)
- Try the Save As Project to different drives to see if the behaviour may be drive related
- Trash the Project manager database and rescan everything from scratch
- Remove any replacement RAM if you have any, or at least run a RAM test utility
- Reinstall Logic
...and see if any of that helps or gives you clues as to where the problem might be.

New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Kat

B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.

FCP said it couldn't save a project, then crashed, all changes lost.???
