HELP ! Imovie 5.02 opens recent project at OS X startup

I can't figure out why upon starting my G5 up, the last Imovie project I was working on opens automatically against my wishes of course. I searched in the startup items folders... Nothing in them.

Rexy,
What startup items folder did you look in?
Login items for each user are set in System
Preferences>Accounts>Login Items.
Is that where you looked?
Matt
I looked in System Folder>Startup Items , which was empty, you were correct !
Thanks alot Matt for helping me solve this problem.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I recently ran adobe premiere cs6. I went to open recent project. It had loaded up but did not show any windows can anyone help me.

Opening Recent Projects

I am having trouble finding recent projects that are no longer listed in the drop down list of "Open Recent Projects". How can I find them?

Just to expand on what Joe, Harm and Bill advise, if you find the PROJ files on your C or Boot drive you may what to change the preferences so that all Premiere files etc are on at least one dedicated media drive
On my laptop I have CS5.5
On the "D" drive I created a folder called Adobe_CS and it is to this folder that I set the preferences so all projects, auto save, preview, media cache and my media files are kept within this folder. This is a little messy as everything is in the one folder and from time to time a clean up is required
Bill's method if I read it correctly will require you to create a folder for each project and then set the project preferences to use the newly created folder. Then each folder will be at the same level and within it will be the project file, media cache, previews, auto saves etc which are related to just that project
This is actually a great system as when you have completed the project you can if you wish archive the whole folder and then delete the original
On a desktop the arrangment can be different depending upon how many drives you have available

Imovie won't open any projects after upgrading to yosemite

Can anyone help? I upgraded to yosemite and imovie 10.0.6 and now imovie won't open. IPhoto and Garageband open just fine. After clicking Imovie, it appears in the menu bar but all options from the drop down menus are grayed out. I cannot open any projects and there is no imovie window opening. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the program twice with the same result. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Apple introduced a new document architecture with Pages v5, that is not backwards compatible with Pages '09. With Pages v5.5.2 (Yosemite) installed, a simple double-click on a Pages '09 document will default open it in Pages v5. Once you save, or Pages autosaves this document, it is no longer directly compatible with Pages '09, without first exporting it to Pages '09 format. Pages v5 documents do not contain index.xml files, and Pages '09 documents do.

Stopping iMovie HD from opening a project automatically

Hello,
Is there a way to stop iMovie HD from automatically opening the last project worked on? I work at a college and am in charge of an editing station where I don't want students accidently removing someone's project.
-Matt

There's probably a better way to do this -- an 'official' way that relies on user permissions and such. But a 'quick and dirty' way is to lock the iMovie preference file. (In User/Library/Preferences folder, named 'com.apple.iMovie.plist'.)
iMovie HD saves the name of the most-recently opened project in that file. If the file is locked, the name isn't saved.
iMovie saves lots of other stuff there too, including the latest Ken Burns settings and all user-definable preferences. Saving them -- or not saving them -- may be good or bad, depending on the behavior you want. The user will be able to configure user settings for her current session, but the prefs won't be saved across multiple sessions.
Before locking the prefs file, it's important you configure the preferences you want as iMovie's default settings. Start by discarding the current prefs file -- while iMovie is NOT running. Then launch iMovie, create a new project (which you'll discard later), then set the user prefs to what you want. (The playback quality is important). Set any Ken Burns settings you want as the default and import an image. Save the project.
Now close the project window. The "what do you want to do now?" window will open. When you quit from this window, iMovie will save NO project as the recent project in the prefs file. Quit iMovie from this window.
In the Finder, locate the prefs file and lock it. Now the prefs you set will be the default for each user. Launching iMovie will open to the "what do you want to do now?" window.

Cannot re open recent project??

I've just tried to open a recent project in GarageBand but it has come up "file not found". It shows all the regions but there is nothing there. Can anyone help??
Tim

Well, here is the solution to my own problem. I give it to you in case you get the same problem one day.
The solution is as simple as impossible to find on your own: launch Bridge before launching Encore! Yes, that's it. If Bridge is running when you start Encore and open your project, it all works just fine.
In my case, the project was a bit damaged as many files where not located properly. I just hit the "Skip all" button when prompted and got into my project. Then I re-assigned each unfound file (in italic) with the original one. That was quite easy in the end.
I find it incredible that Encore will work only when Bridge is launched. In that case, I can only recommend to have plenty of RAM. In all cases it is a nasty bug.
I hope it will help someone some day.
Cheers.

HELP! Can't open/build project!

I have an error in the constructor for one of my JSP support classes (e.g. MyPage.java) that built and saved before I closed creator last time. Now, when I try to open the project, the Creator log shows the bug is being hit as Creator tried to render the page.
To make things worse, because the bug is hit before the page is rendered, the project never completely opens. This means the build option doesn't actually do anything when selected. So, I can't rebuild my project to comment out the offending line!
How do I get around this? I've already tried:
- removing the offending file from my project.prj file
- removing the .class file from the <myproject>/build/WEB-INF/classes directory.
- Creating a new HTML file and setting it as the start page
Can I tell creator at startup which files to open when the project is opened? If I can stop the file from being rendered, I think I can avoid executing the offending code and then rebuild with fixed code.
Any help appreciated. Fast help is appreciated more.
James

OK, fixed this by deleting the offending files and restarting both my machine and creator. Had to fix some broken Java, but I can now at least open my project.
However, now I have a new problem. Whenever I try to run my project (with start page CWPIDAdminStart.jsp), I get the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException
no such file: /<my home dir>/Creator/SunAppServer8/domains/creator/generated/jsp/j2ee-modules/_cwpidadmin/org/apache/jsp/CWPIDAdminStart_jsp.classNote that in that same directory (where the CWPIDAdminStart_jsp.class file is missing), there is a CWPIDAdminStart_jsp.java file. There are no errors in the log to suggest that the JSP compile failed, so why isn't this page compiling as it apparently should?

Urgent help please: Error on opening MW project

Hi
I have a similar error message to the one in this thread
error loading project
One day I was using MW and all was fine, the next day it blows up when trying to open a project. We use CVS - is it possible that the NullPointerException would occur if a configuration file had been removed or altered outside of MW (although I have never done this)?
Where can I look to get more information on what MW is choking on?
Many thanks
James

Don
Thanks for your help. This occurs with 9.0.4.4
I have filed a TAR because this now urgent for us (holding up the development team).
I think that Karen Moore has looked at the problem in the related post and I hope that she gets the chance to look at this too.

Increase number of "open recent" projects

Is it possible to do this? I went through the preferences, but didn't see a choice. I could have missed it, as I'm partially blind. Bummer!
TIA.

Hi there
To my knowledge there is no way to control the number of projects stored in the Open Recent list. Once the number of project exceeds whatever number is the limit, the oldest project disappears from the list.
If you would like to advise Adobe that you would like to see such a feature in a future update, please click the link below and complete the request.

Opening recent project sees it totally empty !

Premiere Pro CS3
Just opened a project I had last worked on and completed in Feb 2010 and its totally empty, nothing in timeline, no assets, nothing !
Hells Bells !
I had finished it and created an avi then authored and burned a dvd from that. It displayed with cropping. Now having sussed that issue after trying out various options (solved by adding in black margins) I need to alter the images within the project to those with the margins, but everything is missing.
Searched the entire PC for *.prproj and this project is the one I had worked on.
Thats very worrying if Premiere can wipe out ones work like that. I see another posting also had the same trouble.
I tried resetting work area to default, not that I had altered it from such anyway, but made no difference.
Any ideas, else I have to do the entire project all over again.
In future I shall save as filename_s1 then s2 then s3 as I go along !
Envirographics

It came from right next to the S, to the right actually.
Maybe it was the fact that I have already declared "wine-thirty" here, but I had to laugh. Just glad that I did not have a mouthful of my Chalone Pinnacles Chardonnay, when I read that. Maybe I had begun the wine tasting, when my feeble fingers found that "d" key in the first place... ?
Thank you for the chuckle. Maybe I need one of those keyboard covers for hazardous environments?

IMovie will not open a project with a .rcproject extension

The other night I was working on a project in iMovie. This morning, when I opened up iMovie, I did not see the project in the viewing window, and the project filename had a .rcproject extension in the iMovie projects folder. I cannot seem to get iMovie to open the file. I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

BTW my client says that the info breakdown on the clips says:
'component y'Cbcr 10-bit'

Problem with opening recent projects

Hello all,
I've been working on a project on FCP since july and I've been saving it to an external HD since then.
There's been 3-4 other projects I've worked on along the way, and I've tried to keep everything organized and saved properly (I.e. I always set my scratch disk to the external before editing and saving)
Every once in a while I will open FCP after plugging my external in to edit my project and it will not open in the bin!! When I go to file > open to find the project there are no recently saved projects that I had worked on the day before but instead months ago!
In short, what happened to my project file? I tried searching my external and even my laptop's HD to look for the most recently modified/saved project but to no avail!
Is there anyway to retrieve it?? I made many important edits the other day and I hate the idea of starting all over losing months and months of edit time!!

Problem solved I Found the sequence! It turned up in another project's folder!

Imovie, problems with opening a project

I have imovie '08 and I mistakenly edited a film using this program before realizing how terrible it is. I edited this project and then saved it on an external hard drive. Now I am trying to open it again in imovie (I have also tried importing it) and it is not working. The file is a iMovie Project and I have been able to open up all the clips that this project uses, they are in my "event library."
I also have the older version on imovie: imovie HD, and I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I got both after I realized this version of imovie is worthless. If there is anyway to bypass the whole imovie '08 problem and just open them up in Final Cut, this would of course be ideal. However, I have not been able to figure this out, and I can't even open up this project in the imovie program that it was uploaded and edited in.
Thank you for you time and patience,
Michael

acelx--
Maybe if you explained things a little more. . .
How are you installing your new programs?????
Do you just open the .dmg file, open up the application's icon and go from there, or
do you take the application's icon and then drag it into the Application's folder and open
it from there??? or what?
Are you just talking about updates??
I may be way off base, but why are you trying to "make both of the windows show at the same time?"

Can iMovie HD 6 open a project from iMovie 08?

I'm new to Mac and I created a project in iMovie 08 but iMovie 08 doesn't have slow motion, so I downloaded iMovie HD 6 and I tried to open my existing 08 project. The project is listed as a file to open, but its shaded out so I can't select it. Any thoughts? Thanks.

With iMovieHD06 open and a new project started, or an existing one open, go under "file", then "import". You should then be able to browse to your QT movie and then select it and then click "open". The movie should then import and the clips show up in the "clips" windows. If this is not working for you come back, but with more info about the movie you exported. You may have used a format that is not supported by iMovie HD.
