Hd project - sequence issues - emergency!

I realize now the hardship I've given my computer in creating this project with Premiere. If someone could help me, that would be great because I need to finish this within the next few days!
The total file size of my project is 138 GB and I'm working on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM. It had been working fine, but lately Premiere hasn't been able to read my 'rough cut' sequence at all. It freezes up and I end up force quitting. It plays through all my other sequences, and I am able to edit them as well, but naturally, these are not big compared to the rough cut, which is why I'm thinking it's just too much for my OS to handle and process.
Does this make any sense? As far as I can see, what I need to do is break the project down into mulitple ones. How would you suggest doing this? Can I save sequences out individually? And then is there an easy way to import footage files into a separate project ? Also, can you work with multiple projects at once?
Thanks!!!

For breaking down your Sequence, probably the best would be to Export (since you are on a Mac, I would assume .MOV) with the WAB (Work Area Bar), portions of it. The total number will be up to you, but I would look at 2-3. Create a New Project and Import these into it. The one limitation with this is that your Clips will now be together in one (or more) files, which are now just big Clips. It's easy to "tighten" things up with the Razor, but you will have lost the direct ability to "lengthen" anything, other than Razor, Razor Delete and then Import that original Clip, Set new In & Out Points and Insert. Doable, but some extra work. I'd also suggest doing this Export with no Transitions, as you will run afoul of these, should you do much editing to your "rough cut."
Unfortunately, one cannot have multiple Projects Open at the same time.
Good luck, and hope that you can get it handled in time.

  • Develop a Integrated Report of Program and Project Risks, Issues and Opportunities from Project Sites

    Does anyone know if it is possible to create an integrated report of all program / project risks, issues and opportunities as identified on project sites? We plan on having our project teams identify and manage these on their project sites but would like
    to  ability to roll this information up into a report for management review.  Need to know if this is possible and how it might be done. Thanks.

    Hi,
    are you asking for a Reporting Services Report? You can find this information in Reporting DB (2010) resp. schema dbo for reporting (2013).
    Here a simple query:
    SELECT PROJ.ProjectName
    , ISSUE.Title AS Issue
    , RISK.Title AS Risk
    FROM dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView AS PROJ
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.MSP_WssIssue_OlapView AS ISSUE ON PROJ.ProjectUID = Issue.ProjectUID

  • Oracle 11g : Sequence Issues after impdp

    Hi All,
    We are migrating from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. As part of this, we take a expdp from 10g and successfully did an import using impdp on to Oracle 11g database.
    But the problem is, there were few Primary key violations which occurred and all of them relate to sequences.
    The Maximum data in the tables and the last number in the sequences differed which caused the issue.
    Upon investigation and browsing the Web, http://www.nerdliness.com/article/2009/03/18/my-oracle-sequencedatapump-shenanigans ; I understood it could be because of the export taken while the application is online and writing to the database.
    I reset all the failing sequences manually and it is fine now.
    My questions now are
    *1) Can we ascertain that the export taken when the source database is offline would eliminate the sequences issue.*
    2) As this is being done in Production, I would like to make few checks to ensure that the sequences are properly imported. ---
    Again reading few websites and oracle Forums, i found the below sql's..
    select table_name, column_name, utl_raw.cast_to_number(high_value) as highval
    from dba_Tab_columns
    where owner = 'PRODUCTION_OWNER'
    AND DATA_TYPE= 'NUMBER'
    AND (OWNER, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME) IN
    (SELECT CC.OWNER, CC.TABLE_NAME, CC.COLUMN_NAME
    FROM DBA_CONS_COLUMNS CC
    JOIN DBA_CONSTRAINTS C
    ON CC.OWNER=C.OWNER
    AND CC.CONSTRAINT_NAME=C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
    WHERE C.CONSTRAINT_TYPE ='P'
    ORDER BY 3;
    SELECT SEQUENCE_NAME, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE, LAST_NUMBER
    FROM DBA_SEQUENCES
    WHERE SEQUENCE_OWNER = 'PRODUCTION_OWNER'
    ORDER BY LAST_NUMBER
    If I relate the last_number with the highval and if they are same, does that mean the sequences are imported properly.
    Note: We have sequence caching done and we are on RAC.

    it could be because of the export taken while the application is online and writing to the database.I don't know what's your database's size , and what's acceptable downtime for you, but I could never propose such a migration tecnique to any of my customers, due to excessive downtime when databases are quite large.
    It's quite obvious that you get such errors when the export is done while people are working, unless you use FLASHBACK_SCN or FLASHBACK_TIME parameter while exporting. But in this case, assuming you don't get errors (e.g. ORA-01555), you'll probably lose a lot ot transactions.
    Assuming your 10g database is running in archivelog mode (which should be the default in production DBs) did you think of using RMAN to do the migration ?

  • Importing projects / sequences question

    I started out my project with the wrong resolution (*sigh*) and I'm now trying to save the day by doing the recommended move - starting a new project with correct settings and importing the original project there.
    But I'm only getting the entire original project sequence as a big block, with no edits or anything available. Is it supposed to be like that? Or is there a way to get all the separate clips, cuts, edits etc when importing?
    Thanks for any help!

  • Wacky image sequence issue - flickers

    Hi guys,
    I've created a simple 2 image sequence I wanted to play through at the top of my DPS document - but when I preview the article (on both desktop, iphone and ipad) the image sequence fails..
    I took a quick screencap to show what Im going.

    Any advice?

    For a two-image effect, I would use a slideshow instead of an image sequence. Not sure what's causing the flicker.

  • Help! Trying to change frame size of project/sequence

    I have tried everything I can to change my project's frame size to 320 x 240 from 720 x 480--modifying sequence settings (nowhere to change size, just "timeline options" and "render control" tabs), clicking on the sequence's frame size in the browser (even with option and command), going into user preferences, system preferences, item properties, project properties without any dialog box that will help me make the change. I checked off "Prompt for seeings on New Project/Sequence" in User Preferences, but it only gives me a pop-up menu with the Easy Setup options. What's happening? This is taking me forever to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    Why do you want a project at 640 X 480 ? You will not be able to print it to your camcorder.
    Just put those values in quicktime conversion box, and your exported movie will has this frame size.
    May be the confusion become from the aspect ratio of pixel...
    DV pixel are displayed "as square pixels" in Final Cut Express, if you uncheck this option in viewer, you will get a horizontal squashed image.
    That's because TV set do not handle pixel like computer monitor and your camcorder record it with this aspect.
    So don't be concern with the 720 or 640 question: just export your movie using quicktime conversion set to 640X480 for viewing on computer (like I suggest earlier) or simply "print to tape" from FCE to your camcorder (with stretched pixel for TV monitoring).

  • Find Project From Issue?

    Hi  , I want to find project from Issue ? I have Issue guid number and ref guid number but ı am not finding project ?
    thanks for helps .

    This is PC
    Got the (ANSI-Latin 1) down. We have a project that in D10 we
    had to localize in Russian. Problem is that D10 did not support
    that code to display Russian correctly when working within D10.
    This support is in D11.
    So if I understand you correctly D10 is in ANSI-Latin 1. This
    is confusing cause when we upgrade the files it defaults to some
    Turkish code page. Does D11 auto read this formating when upgrading
    the files and if so should we be allowing the default or should we
    be telling D11 to use ANSI-Latin 1?

  • Working in FCP6, open a project, sequence not showing ANY fonts from motion master templates. Start new sequence and they appear fine. Whats up with it?

    So here's what I've got: one of the first gen Intel Macbooks with 2gb RAM, running a fresh install of FCS2, fully updated. I pulled out my external with my project on it (saved in the same version), that I keep my demo reel updated on. I've always used the motion text master template files to label each clip and for some reason, this round the text isn't appearing. Let me be clear just how weird this is: the template file will show up in the viewer, but any file set in this sequence will be blank. If there is any graphics to the file, IT shows up, but not the text. I opened up a new sequence and and first added a new master file to it, and it showed up on that sequence. I then went to the old sequence and copy/pasted the clips in it to the new sequence and the text shows up as well. What is up with the original sequence that is causing this issue??? Any thoughts? (unfortunately, my copy of Final Cut is a "Not for Resale" (NFR) so I can't call in for support.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi Miro,
    I was just experiencing a similar problem today.  In my situation I was getting the diagonal lines and the new project wasn't actually being trimmed, it was the same size as the original with all of the media from the original project .
    It turns out that even though I was selecting 3 specific sequences out of 20 the Project Manager was ignoring that selection, it brought over those 3 sequences but all of the media from the other sequences.  I think this is what was creating the problem.
    The trim unused media box  (or whatever the check box says) was greyed out.
    My solution was to create a new clean project and import the 3 sequences I wanted to create a new trimmed project from.
    Then using the Project Manager everything worked as expected, the project was trimmed down and there were no diagonal lines.  I unchecked the "rename media" option, not sure if that was necessary part of the solution.
    This seems like a bug to me, we shouldn't have to create a new project, it's an extra unwanted step and clutter on our systems.
    Hope that helps! 
    I'm on Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 7.0.1, eagerly awaiting to update once the bug fixes to the bug fixes are fixed.

  • Image sequencing issue

    I shoot with two bodies. One camera shoots CR2 the other DNG. The cameras are synchronized so archived images appear in the order that they were shot—regardless of what camera they were shot on. However, I am having an issue with my current project where when I view (the entire take) through the parent folder (images are contained within in dated subfolders) they are filed by the camera they were shot on i.e all of camera 1's files first, then camera 2 (messing up my chronological sequence). This also applies when I select my flagged images through the parent folder. The two cameras' files are separated. I have no filters applied.
    If I open the dated subfolders the files are sequenced correctly. Same with filtering for flagged files within the subfolder. I am only having this issue with the parent folder.
    It must be something simple but I haven't been able to figure it out! Thank in advance for any suggestions.

    Within your dated sub-folders you presumably have set the sort sequence to "capture time".
    These settings are saved per folder.
    If you do not see this, make sure you have the toolbar toggled to visible (letter T).
    What is the sort order in the parent folder? "File type" or "File extension" would explain the behaviour you describe.
    Try setting it to "capture time" as well. This should achieve your desired order.

  • Error message when opening current project/sequence error?

    Hi!
    So I'm working with a project, a very simple timeline with vids transcoded to cineform codec. Everything is working beautiful. But every time I open the project to continue working on it, it shows me a strange error message that won't allow me to open my project. Is very stressful. I have to try many times until suddenly it opens the project. I always try to open it from all possible ways (double clicking on the project, from Premiere directly, etc) and is always the same issue. Until after many attempts it decides to open it. Does anyone know what's going on? This is the pop up message:
    Thanks so much for the help.

  • Premiere Pro CC crash on launch, crash opening project, update issues

    Hi,
    iMac 2011 quad i7 3.4 GHz, 20GB RAM, MacOS 10.9.2 and 10.7.5, Premiere CC 7.0.0 & 7.2.1
    I've been having a crazy time with Premiere CC. I started an Africa documentary 2 weeks ago, which forced me to upgrade to CC (on MacOS 10.9.2). Other than some issues with the Creative Cloud installer app (which seems like a great idea but never seems to work as it should, especially with updates), I was happily working away for about 10 days.
    During that time I had to install Premiere CS6 again to open another project -- and continued happily working.
    Then I needed to export some markers... and discovered that the Creative Cloud app wasn't reporting any updates beyond 7.0.0, and I needed 7.2.1 to export markers. That's when my problems started.
    I tried to update to 7.2.1 with the Creative Cloud app -- it wouldn't see the update.
    I tried to download the 7.2 and 7.2.1 patches from Adobe's site directly -- neither of these would install, because they said I didn't have the right software (or something like that -- didn't write down the error).
    Finally I used the Adobe Cleaner tool to uninstall and clean all Adobe apps off my system. Then I was able to use the CC app to download 7.0.0, and my patches to update to 7.2.1.
    I tried to open my project... Premiere crashed as it opened the project (as it was loading the clips).
    I uninstalled all 3rd party effects, checking to ensure nothing was in the MediaCore folder. I deleted all caches and previews. I checked the permissions of the Adobe preferences folder, and trashed the Premiere preferences. I rebuilt permissions.
    Now, not only could I not open the project, but Premiere itself would not launch -- it would freeze to the point of forcing a reboot.
    Cleaned Adobe apps again, went online with Adobe tech support for a full hour. The main thing they did was remove a CUDA extension, but after reinstalling, the problem persisted... at first it crashed while loading the project, and then crashed in the launch itself.
    Luckily, I had a backup of MacOS 10.7.5, which I had been using before starting this documentary project. I went back to that backup, installed Premiere 7.2.1... and now Premiere launches properly but still crashes about halfway through loading my project.
    I can load the project if the clips are offline (temporarily renaming the footage folder), so it seems that somewhere along this zany process, one or more clips got corrupted.
    With 15,000 clips of different formats in this project, finding which clip(s) is corrupted is like finding a needle in a haystack. For now, I am importing my sequences into a new project, and just importing the clips I need to finish my edit at hand. Then I will likely have to build a new project from scratch -- a long process, since Premiere can't import nests of subfolders like After Effects and Final Cut Pro can, and that's how the footage from this project has been organized.
    Arg! At this point I have a workaround (at least in MacOS 10.7.5), so I'm not really asking anything, but if anyone has light to shed I'm all ears.
    P.S. I think when I installed CS6 after installing CC, it confused the CC app. I don't think that caused my Premiere issues, but I think it may have contributed to the issues installing updates, and the CC app getting confused.

    Hello GrayJones,
    This does seem like some pretty unusual behaviour! And I can only imagine the frustration it must be causing (believe me, I've been there!)
    I've seen a lot of crash issues that are related to computer's graphic cards. You may want to try updating your graphics card's driver before proceeding forward. Also, there are a very small number of graphics cards that just don't work well with Premiere. You can also check the settings of your Mercury Playback Engine GPU. This can impact the performance of your software, especially depending on your graphics card. I may have missed it above, but didn't see anything related to Graphics cards in what you tried.
    If you update your graphics card's drivers, and then update your version of Premiere Pro, it may solve the crashing on launch issue that you were having. Moving forward with fully updated PP software would be my first course of action, if it's possible.
    Although I see that you have tried it alreay, you might want to reset your preferences (hold Cmd and Shift on the Mac while opening the program until you hit the splash screen) and resetting your PP cache (Premiere Pro - Preferences - Media - Click on "Clean Media Cache Database"
    Without seeing the errors that caused your updates to not install originally I can't really offer suggestions regarding that. It could be a system conflict somewhere on your computer, but there are dozens of possibilities of what could be causing, especially if you have other plugins, older versions of Adobe or other video softwares, that kind of thing...
    Moving forward from there:
    How are you working? Are your images stored on an external hard drive or locally? How are you connecting the hard drive to your machine? Are you tossing all of the clips with different time code into one sequence and working from there, or editing on separate sequences?
    As for your project: Do you have the ability to test it on a different machine? You can try doing a project manager (File-Project Manager) and putting your entire managed project onto a different machine to see the behaviour, that way you can figure out if the issues are related to the project itself, or to your install of Premiere Pro on your machine. IF the project works fine on another system, then clearly the issue is related to your software/hardware configuration, if you have the same issues with the project on every machine, then it might be something different. Can you test other projects on your current set-up? Is this the only project that is affected?
    If you have one or several corrupted files I know it can be painstaking to try to locate where the damage is at, generally it's a process of elimination, make a sequence with files from one camera and see what happens, if it glitches, try another camera until you can see if it's a general issue to all of your cameras or specific to some. Narrow it down from there, if it's multiple cameras, then the error (again) is software/hardware or transfer related or occurs in your transfer/storage process, or may be related to your uninstalls/re-installs with CC and CS6 (although I don't think I've ever seen that!)
    If it's only clips from one camera (you mention the Canon XF100 has problems) maybe something affected your camera. I once saw standing too close to a radar-dish corrupt 1/4 of the clips from a BBC videographer's camera. I have no explanation why... but it can happen, so if only one camera is affected you should consider the possibility.
    I'll try to assist with this as much as I can! But remember that the forums are not here for Adobe personnel to provide support to clients, but as a community for Adobe-philes to share and help. A lot of Adobe staff who are posting on here are generally doing it because they've got a bit of free time and want to help out. You should consider contacting support again if you can't resolve the problem and getting them to connect you to a video specific team.
    Cheers!

  • Premiere Pro 4.2.1 Preview Sequence Issue

    Purchased CS5.5 with the 32-bit compatibility pack, i.e. Premiere Pro 4.2.1, but I am unable to correctly playback sequence items.  They either appear in purple and green or just as a still image with sound when playback is selected.  the AVI file plays back with Windows Media Player and a number of other players without issue.
    The workstation runs Windows XP 32-bit.
    I initially thought it may be a graphics card or codec issue, however if I install an old copy of Premiere Pro 4 on another identical machine, that works okay until the 4.2.1 upgrade is downloaded from the Adobe website and applied to it.
    Picture below is 4.2.1 (compare with the second screenshot using 4.0.0)
    Picture below is 4.0.0
    Unfortunately I can not install the version 4.0.0 copy first and then apply CS5.5 due to licence key incompatibilites.  Any suggestions please.

  • Front Panel Mass Binding Project Variables Issue

    Hello -
    When attempting to bind controls to shared variables through the front panel mass binding option, there is an issue where you can not seem to bind a "project item" to the control. The method of binding I am using is to export a text list of control names, urls, mode, and function to a text editor utilizing the front panel binding mass configuration options.  The text editor shows, in the fourth column, a "0" for no function, a "1" for network item, and a "2" for project item. when attempting to import the list back into the front panel binding mass configuration, all "2" indications become "1", as all items are treated as network. Thus one can not effectively bind to a project shared variable item.
    The binding works fine manually by means of utilizing the properties selection of the control, but it is difficult to do this for 821 controls, as in my application.
    My application is based on a OPC served group of 821 variables which are linked to controls and indicators through the shared variable representation for each item created in the multiple variable editor.
    Does anyone have a work around for this issue, as it is a showstopper right now, ie, you can not effectively bind a large quantity of controls or indicators to project located shared variables as required.
    The rationale behind utilizing project located variables instead of network located variables is to reduce the amount of calls to the OPC server which was causnig a large latency in the refresh of the 821 items. With the items defined as shared variables within the project, a single call is issued, which has tremendously sped up the refresh cycle for the list of variables.
    Thank you in advance for your insight in this matter,
    John DeCroos

    Hello Brian A.,
    In response to you comment --
    "in 2006, and John did not follow up with any more information for Efosa"
     -- a great deal of information was provided to NI (Efosa and many, many others, up to the product manager for the DCS module). I have never heard back on a fix for this bug for the identified version of LabVIEW. The reply by Efosa here was well after we had shipped our product -- (please see date + Efosa's apology) -- we had found our own solution as is identified in the original post.
    My solution was, as is also indicated in my original post, to manually bind each variable. This was unbelievably time consuming, but was all I had.
    The version of software I am now working on uses far less variables, manually bound to avoid the multiple binding issue we had in the past.
    I have checked the mass binding function in LV 8.5.1, it works fine now. I guess it would have been nice to have had a reply that the bug had been resolved ---- would have helped me out a bit.
    Thank you,
    John DeCroos

  • Project Backup Issue

    We have a situation where single project backup is reported as "completed successfully" , but when we try to restore it, it gives error.
    The Oracle Tech Support is horrible beyond imagination. For two weeks they kept telling me that they are working on it, and now they want to start over and want another backup sample. This tells me clearly, they have no clue, just fishing around to find something. Here is the entire conversation:
    Quote:
    I am surprised that this simple realization came after two weeks.This is really worst tech support I have ever seen, inspite of paying top dollars. Is there any place in Oracle which tracks the quality of technical support provided to clients or is it free for all.
    Well, just for your information, we have also started looking at some other options to replace Contract manager due to the bad support.
    I will send you the backup as desired.
    Oracle Support - April 16, 2012 2:15:23 PM GMT-04:00 [ODM Action Plan]
    Data Request
    Thanks for your reply.
    Based on the information you have provided and the support team's previous
    experience with the issue I believe the project itself may be corrupt in some way.
    Therefore when one attempts to restore the project the restore process fails the
    validity check due to possible missing data within the project.
    Because the .JAR file itself is corrupt I'm unable to view its contents using an XML editor
    or other means.
    Please upload a copy of a database export of the Oracle database where this project
    exists. This way I can restore the data here and query the contents of the project
    itself to confirm whether there is missing or invalid data within the project.
    See DOC ID 908371.1 (attached in the related articles section of this SR) for steps
    of how to perform the export.
    Thank you.

    This is really frustrating to receive such responses for a paid service contract after more than two weeks of pending SR. Did you read my entire post before posting your question or you just want me to start all over again. Last time you said that you have reproduced the issue, then why do you need another backup?
    Anyway the replies are as under:
    1. This is happening with one project and not multiple projects ( read my earlier responses)
    2. No, there were no errors reported ( read my earlier responses)
    3. It was saved on local drive
    4.As I understand you were able to reproduce the issue, then why do you need me to send you another backup. If so, please define the backup should be under what environment variables, because I dont want you to come back 2 weeks later and ask for another backup with different variables.

    Hello.
    1- So am I understanding that this is only happening with ONE project and not multiple projects?
    2- When this single project backup was originally taken did any errors or unusual behavior occur?
    3- Where is the backup file being saved when it is taken? On the local machine or to a network drive on some other machine?
    4- Please create another single project backup of this project and attempt to restore that new backup to the new database
    group. Let me know how this works out.

    We are unable to do a backup only for this project. All other projects are working OK. Let me know if you need anything else.
    Thanks

    1. This happens with Single project backup with all the projects we have.
    2.yes, it is being restored to another group in the Same installation of Contract Manager.
    As expalined earlier, this was happening without any error until we installed the Contract Management Exchange Module. Since then we have uninstalled the module, but the error continues.

    Hello. Thanks for your reply.
    1- Does this issue happen with one single project backup or multiple backup files?
    2- Is the single project backup being restored to the same version of Contract Management system as where the backup was
    taken?
    3- If only happening with one backup please upload the single project backup file to this SR. This way I can restore the file to a test environment for research.

    Data Request
    Hello. Thank you for contacting Oracle Primavera support.
    A few questions:
    1- What is the version and build of Contract Management? (This can be found in the upper right corner of the log on screen)
    2- What is the error message or behavior that occurs when attempting to restore the backup?
    3- Does the project already exist in the group to which the backup is being restored?
    4- What application server is being used with Contract Management? JBOSS or Weblogic?
    - If you are unsure which app server is being used do the following
    a. On the web server machine right click my computer and choose manage > expand services and apps > click on services
    b. Scroll through services and look for the service named either Contract Manager or Primavera Contract Management. If this service exists
    then open My Computer > open the drive that has your installed programs and look for a folder named JBOSS 5.0.1 GA
    c. If both of the above exist then your running JBOSS if neither of the above exist then go to step d.
    d. Open My computer and look for either of the below folders:
    [drive letter]:\bea\user_projects\domains\[Contract Management domain name]
    [drive letter]:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\[Contract Management domain name]
    e. If either of the above folders exist then it is likely that Weblogic is being used as the application server.
    Thank you.

    all projects
    3) ### Impact on Business ###
    We back up the project before processing monthly pay requisitions, so that it can be restored in case the process is to be reversed. Till last month it was working properly. This problem started after we installed Contract Management Exchange Program to export the Pay Requisitions. Since then we have uninstalled this program, but the error continues.

    Anyone have any idea about this error message?
    Thanks

    I've experienced this also and I would then try the same project the next day and it worked OK. Sometimes the backup file does not get completely written for whatever reason. Try again sometime when there is no one else logged in. ALSO, and more importantly, make sure that you are selecting a LOCAL path when backing up. As in your local C or D drive. Don't assume that your "My Documents" folder is local either because in many organizations that is on a network drive somewhere.
