----- GENERAL ERROR when opening PROJECT on different FCP ?? -----

Any reason why I'm getting 'general error (41)' when trying to open a client's rough cut of a project?
I'm running fcp 5.0 on a dual G5....
Had no trouble importing digitized source material and animations from their G-RAID drive, but when I tried to open their project and review a rough cut, I get the error message.
Is it that they have a more current version of fcp?
Anyone?
Thanks,
Mark

You need to be running the same or later version of FCP that your client's are running... that is the problem. You can get to 5.0.4 for free simply by running software update and downloading it. It's better software than what you're running now in any event.
If they are running FCP 5.1 or later you need to "crossgrade" to the current version of FCP. It's a bargain actually....

It's 2 years ahead of what you're running now... new features, and bug fixes all over the place.

Receiving General Error when opening Project file in FCP 5.04

Hi to everyone.
I would need a little help. We have 4 Macs running (two G5 and two Laptops). All running with FCP Pro 5.04.
When I create a project on my G5 and open it with my laptop everything runs fine. When I make some edits/renders and save the project and try to open it again, I receive a General Error message.
But on the other two machines the file opens. I have used FCP rescue, trashed also manually the prefs, deleted on the G5 the Render files, made a PRAM zap, used Disk Utility, cleared the Wavecache etc. but no result. The Mediafiles are stored on a LACIE 500 GB. I do work this way since years and never had this before.
Does anybody have an idea ?Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
at first thanks for the replies. I tried already the New User account. It's not working and also the Lacie is fine. The problem is more complicating, I guess.
Basically it's funny that the problem starts, when I have already worked in the project. When I set up the project (load picture and sound files all standard formats, Uncompressed picture and Aiff sound) and save the project, it opens simply, when I work in the project, edit, render etc (pluggins are on both machines identicall) and save (after deleting the render files), my machine is the only one who gives General Error.
Funny is that I used FCP since years in the same setup (Desktop-laptop) and never had this. I already trashed even the trash -:)
So I guess that this problem is a really special one, perfect for all Mac Sherlocks to solve -:)
So if anyone has an idea....
Cheers Zolee

General Error When Opening A Project in FCE

I have read many threads on this.
My Config: FCE HD 3.51 / Intel Duo iMac
When I opened the project (both from FCE and double click), it would not open and I received a General Error. My projects are saved in a folder called FCE Projects in my documents folder on my iMacs hard drive.
I am able to open from my Auto Save - I moved this file to my desktop and renamed as the project copy - now I can open the project again.
HOWEVER - when I move this project off my desktop back into my FCE projects folder, I get the same General Error again. Other projects from the same folder open fine.
Any ideas?

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

General error when opening FCP project file

Hi, I have searched on the forums and found similar questions, but no solution yet.
I created a project about a month ago (FCP 5.0.4) and now I need to make some additions but every time I open the file (or all of the 20 autosaved files) I get a general error message. I tried moving the media files to another folder, but I still get the general error message. I have the project file on my local drive and the scratch disk is a My Book drive (I forgot to reformat the drive so it is still Fat32). I have removed the preferences and ran disk first aid already.
All of my other projects I can open just fine.
Any suggestions? I need to add about 2 more minutes to the project which is already 18min. It took me a week to edit and I really don't want to re-edit everything.
I am using FCP 5.0.4 on a PB G4 1.5Ghz

I don't quite understand - did you move your project files to a FAT 32 formatted HD?
If so, they're probably cooked . . . (as in wrecked)
Check to see if they're .fcp and if not, try changing one to that, then try to open it.
Search this forum for something like FAT 32 or Mac OS Extended - you may glean more accurate info from that.

"General Error" when importing QT movie to FCP

I am trying to import a QT movie to FCP to do a slideshow. The slideshow was done originallly on iPhoto and then exported to a QT movie. I then imported the file (the QT movie) to FCP. When I tried to play the movie in the Viewer, I got a "General Error" message. I shut everything down and tried again to no avail. I could move the playhead throughout the Viewer and see the photo at that spot but whenever I tried to play the clip the error message came on. I can export the slideshow to iDVD however, I then have no conrol over the music (I need to shorten a track and try to shorten the gaps between songs). I can't do that in either iPhoto or iDVD. That is the main reason I want to use FCP. I was able to do this a week ago for a different project although I was using a different computer then. My current problem is when I am using my G4, Dual 1 GHz, 2MB L3 cache per processor, 1 GB SDRAM. I'm using FCP 5.1.2.
Any suggestions? This is for a Christmas project!

Jon,
I don't know if I am reading the problem right but ...when you export your video from iPhoto to FCP I am pretty sure you have to change how it opens. When I do this I save my slide show from iPhoto to the desk top then highlite it and "getinfo" to change it to a "open with QT movie" Then when you import it to FCP you can do what you like with compositing re music, titles etc.
Be aware tho that anything you do with that QT while in FCP will take alot of rendering because it is a complete sequence.
Me personally...after you finish ... export it to the desk top again and drag it into iMovie for a clean compression in Mpg 4. The slide show should be cyrstal clear. The pros may have better stuff to add but as an amature this works for me.
I hope this makes sense!

Captivate 5: msvcr90.dll error when opening projects from CP4

Hi,
I have a problem during a few days and I don't know how to solve it.
I'm running a SO Win XP (with SP3) and I have been using Captivate 4 without any problem for months Last week I installed Captivate 5 (I deleted CP4 from the computer - not enough space for both versions)
CP5 works fine when I open a new project on this version or opening a project .cptx file previously created with CP5. My problem appears when opening a project previously created with CP4 (file with extension .cp). The CP5 tries to update the file but suddenly an error forcing to close the CP5 appears.
The details of the error are the next:
AppName: adobecaptivate.exe AppVer: 5.0.2.630 ModName: msvcr90.dll
ModVer: 9.0.30729.4148 Offset: 00030655
Other computer in the office (running Windows 7) is working correctly, without the problem I have in my win XP machine.
Any idea to try to solve it?
Many thanks in advance. Regards.

Was there a solution to this problem as I encounter it in Captivate 5.5.0.257 when trying to edit a slide containing audio files for a captivate 5.5 project. The project can be previewed and it playes all the slides but none of the audio. If I click a slide in the filestrip which has audio Captivate will crash and show the error reporting screen. If l click on the audio in the library it will also crash captivate
The audio folder in the library has 5 items all called Narration1 with a use count fo 1 but with different sizes. even right clicking on the audio here will crash captivate. The other entries in the library don't case a crash
I have tried the project on 2 different computers but both will crash captivate if I try to select a slide with audio or use the library to try to select the audio

No Current Record Error When Opening Project

So, I have a large-ish project that I've been working with for a while in RoboHelp 9. Said project has historically been somewhat unstable (we had to strip it down and rebuild it entirely a couple years ago), and today said instability has reared its ugly head. Essentially, when I try to open the project, RoboHelp spins its wheels for a while, and eventually gives me a message reading "No current record." I got this error trying to open the XPJ file, then tried the HHP, which apparently blew the XPJ away, and gave me the same message.
I have a backup project I can use if need be, but I'd rather get my original version running again. Any ideas?

You haven't said whether you tried deleting the CPD?
Also you haven't said where the project is located, network or local.
See if this thread helps and post back.

PProHeadless.exe has stopped working error when opening projects in Adobe Media Encoder CS6

Hi, I recently upgraded to Adobe Cloud CS6 and am having problems with the Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 (version 6.0.1.31 64-bit).
When I try to add Adobe Premiere projects in AME, it sometimes gives me the following error:
PProHeadless.exe has stopped working
I tried rebooting, and it still gives me the same error. Sometimes the project will load, sometimes it won't.
The Premiere projects contain a H.264 .mov file coming from my Canon T2i. I also added an overlay logo to the bottom right of the video that I created in Adobe After Effects, which only contains text, no effects, no motion, etc. Sometimes I also have a .wav file recorded from a Zoom H4n, but not always. I usually edit those in Adobe Audition with the remove noise feature.
I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I'm using an i7 with 16GB ram and an ATI 6870 video card.
I have the LUT buddy plugin installed.
It will give me the error the first time I try to load the project, and the connection to Dynamic Link Server will fail. Afterwards, if I try to load the project again, even if I restart AME, it stays stuck in the Connecting to Dynamic Link server...
Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.

Hi Dima,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Dragging the sequence from PPro to AME made AME lock up. But your second suggestion of exporting the video directly from PPro seems to be working. I still have 6 minutes to go, but at least it got up to 25% so far, so everything seems good.
Thank you once again!
(although it would be nice if I could go through AME just in case)

Error when opening project

Hello, anytime I open the last project I have been working on, this error pops up and causes premiere to crash. I was able to revert to an autosave from this morning but it is 10 hours behind in work from the newest version. Please help.

You can give this a try:
Rename the "Adobe" folder in your documents folder to "OldAdobe" and see if that works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks,

Getting error when opening project created in FC/FB CS5.5 - cannot resolve attribute 'clear'

I have a project I created earlier this year in panini/burrito, but when I upgraded to CS5.5 I get 18 of the the following errors:
"Cannot resolve attribute 'clear' for component type flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement. Main.mxml /imagine/src line 406 Flex Problem"
I'm not very kbowleadgeable in flaex, so I'm trying to muddle through this.

It seems to be related to lines of code which lay out text on the "packages" page.

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert disc to continue." My DVD drives are F and D. What do I have to do to get rid of this error?

charkmapman
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, the answer for that type of "No disc" message was usually related to SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature. But, there is no SmartSound/SonicfirePro 5 feature in version 12, only Music Scores without the SmartSound name.
Consequently, I would suggest an uninstall, do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall.

General Error on opening several projects - even on all of the autosaves!

I am trying to open a project I was working on last week and it gives a general error upon opening. I looked at some of the previous posts about this and tried resetting preferences, opening up autosave versions (which also give the general error), and repairing permissions. I can open many other projects perfectly. Then I found that another project I was working on last week is also giving the same general error and all of its autosave versions are also giving the error. Is the file corrupt, and if so, why all of the autosave versions too? Is there any way to fix this? (I have many work hours of time invested in each project and closing deadlines!)
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

I found a solution! What had happened was I moved my "Music" folder from one hard drive to another and created an alias on the original disk to reference to the new location. What I did was change the name of the aliased folder and now I am able to open the project and reconnect the media to reference the new location directly instead of through the alias. Hurray!

General Error when Doing Export

I'm getting a "General Error" when exporting a sequence, both as a reference QuickTime and as a self-contained QuickTime file. The process goes along until a certain percentage (73%), and then it bails, and gives this not-very-specific "General Error" message.
I've gone into the timeline and figured what I think is 73% of the timeline, and taken a look at the media at that point, which happens to be a Motion project brought into FCP as a .mov. I've pulled out the Motion project files, re-exported it out of Motion, and put the project back in.
I've also repaired permissions, run Disk Warrior, gone from 10.4.9 > 10.4.10, and up'd my QuickTime version to 7.2.0 (Pro).
I'm using FCP 5.1.4, with Motion 2.1.2
I'm not sure what else to try, or what else to consider.

Hi,
I am also having the same "General Error" message when i am trying to export a sequence that have the setting of HDV720p30 to a QT movie using export to Quicktime Movie>using the Current Settings on the Export tab.
This project is a concert i shot with 4 cameras. I have 4 sequences for the different camera angles and since there are three tapes, i had to line them together on each of their sequence and export them to be a self contained QT movie. I am using the export to Quicktime after right clicking on the sequence.
After that i was going to import them onto FCP Project and then multiclip edit the concert. I just love Multiclip editing.
I am able to export 1 of the 4 angles have and ran into this General Errorr Message.
I have tried making a new sequence, i have also tried using compressor but did not have the patience of waiting 10 hours to export the movie and also i didn't want to see the general error message at the end of the export so i came to ask any FCP Guru out there that can guide me. thanks.

Memory full - error when open a Peoplesoft crystal report 9/10

Are you a Developer or QA or end user? Have you discussed this with your Developer at all? We seem to keep going around in circles. Your Developer should know what he did and how to deploy your app and CR assemblies and what to use.
Subject line is VS 2010, CR for VS 2010 is the only version supported in VS 2010. CR 2008 doesn't have 64 bit runtime. therefore it's not an option, your WEB Servers app pool MUST run in 32 bit mode only if you are using CR 2008.
"If I install the 64 bit version of SAP CR. Should the assembly change in the aspx files? different version number?" Nothing in your app, just deploy the 64 bit runtime and set your app pool to run in 64 bit mode.
If you are using CR for VS 2010 then you can run your WEB server in 64 bit mode and use CR for VS 2010 64 redist files on your WEB server. Then all DB Drivers, Printers and anything else MUST be installed in 64 bit versions. This includes what ever dependencies your UFL has, they too must also support 64 bit platform.
NO Additional requirements to be done or used for 64 bit WEB applciations, just requires IIS App Pool to be run in 64 bit mode and all dependencies available in 64 bits. ODBC DSN is created using the 64 bit ODBC Administrator, Printers support 64 bit applications.
And your UFL and any of it's dependencies must be located in as well as GAC'd if it's required, once again check with your UFL developer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64
I suggest you purchase a support case and work with one of our Rep's to sort this out.

JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 hangs when opening project from JDeveloper 11.1.1.6

Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:09 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:10 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
But I don't know what could be the next step... Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your attention!

Hi,
not sure if you have a support contract or work for Oracle. In both cases the best option is to file a bug (service request)
