I can't close a preview file - no red dot.

No option in file. So I can't restart/shut down. How do I get rid of this open file?

Can you turn the system off or restart it? Or is that being stopped because Preview won't close?
If you can't shut down or restart then the only other option is a forced shut down by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds until the system turn off. Then restart it.

Captivate 4 can't publish or preview files/sound layers appear black

After re-installing Captivate 4, I was unable to preview or publish files. Additionally, my sound layers appeared as black, empty layers.
I had a difficult time finding a solution, so I wanted to post it here in case somebody else has the same problem.
I was indicating in my searches that I was unable to publish or preview files in C4 and could not find a solution, then I switched the focus of my searches to the audio layers and that's when I found a solution at: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installation.html
Now, I have to say this for anyone who may not be aware. You should always back up your registry anytime you make changes to it and that changes to the registry can cause problems. Having said that, here is the fix I used:.
Adobe Captivate 4 Installation Issues on Microsoft Windows XP
You can use SubInAcl tool from Microsoft to try fixing the permission issues in the Windows Registry.
Close all instances of Adobe Captivate and do the following steps -
1) Download the SubInAcl tool from Microsoft Download Center and install it.
2) Download this zip file
3) Extract the zip file in a temporary folder. You will get two files - restoreRegPermCP4.bat, restoreCP4regentries.bat
4) Copy the restoreRegPermCP4.bat to the folder which has SubInAcl.exe installed. Typically this would be at C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
5) Double click to run the restoreRegPermCP4.bat file.
6) Copy the restoreCP4regentries.bat to the folder in which Captivate 4 is installed. Typically it is at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4
7) Open command prompt and navigate to that folder.
8) Type restoreCP4regentries.bat and press enter.
9) Make sure that all the messages that popup say "DllRegisterServer in 'some dll name' Succeeded"
This should have fixed the registry issues and things should work fine.
I hope this saves someone hours of searching for a solution.

So glad it helped you! I know what you mean about Adobe.
Take Care!

tannia: Thanks for your post. I have been struggling with this issue for
over a year. I have a serious love/hate relationship with Adobe. If it
weren't for folks like you, I'd swear off any and everything they make.

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches. I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow. Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

Can't close any powerpoint file

I have not been able to close any powerpoint files. I have 6 open and when I try to close any of them, the screen goes white and the only way to get out of the application is by Force Quitting. When I open the application again, all the files get opened, even though I've already disabled opening last files in powerpoint preferences.
I recently installed Yosemite 10.10 and the Powerpoint version is 14.4.6.

Microsoft just delivered a new update so PP is now up to 14.4.7 but whether that will fix your problem...well...maybe. PowerPoint in my experience is the buggiest of the apps in terms of locking up and graphic elements (pictures and clip art) seem to be especially problematic. In System Preferences, select the General tab and make sure the Close windows when quitting app option is check marked to keep applications from opening the last documents in use when the program was quit. However Microsoft has a feature to open documents automatically to recover from a crash which might be what's happening. If so the document should have the name Recovered when it opens.

Can I get my preview files back?

Just moved all my source footage to a new hard disk but kept all the project, auto save and previews on the original disk. I had manually changed the path to the new footage by editing the project file in a text editor and replacing all instances with the new path. Yet when I now open the project everything is fine except no previews. Does Premiere tie the previews to the complete physical path of the source footage or something? Will take forever to re-render everything.
Cheers.

Thanks. They're not missing, they are all in the preview folder under the name of the project which I left on the original hard drive. The only thing I moved was all of my footage to a different drive. If I look in the preview folder I see all the files yet when I open the project a long red line instead of green.
I wonder if this is due to my source files being RED R3D files? I did notice that after I changed the drive path to point to the new drive when I opened the project in the bottom right corner a status bar was updating with "Conforming xxxx footage" or something of that nature. I wonder if for RED it stores additional information regarding these files that are then uniquely identified by the preview file or something... food for thought.

Preview files turn red

Hi all,
since yesterday after re-opening my Premiere Pro CC ( 2014.0.1) project some of my preview files in the project window turned red. I figured it must have been an render error with the preview files. So I deleted the cached rendered preview files. After the system rendered them again, they still turned red. So I deleted the presets( Shift + Command ) to see if that helps, but the files stayed red.
I work over a Thunderbolt hard drive that is connected, but it never had any problems like that before. It started pretty much erratic. Now it seems I can't get rid of it.
When I do the render in-out on the timeline, the red parts stay ( or flicker occasional into the video ) and the color bars stay the way they are ( don't turn into green ).
I worked fine with the project and the material for over a week now. Only yesterday it started to act up. The project itself and the render cache of the preview files are on a internal SSD drive. The video material is in MXF files shot by a PMW300.
Here is a screenshot of how it looks like.
MBP late 2011 i7 2.2 Ghz, Quad core, 16 gig ram.

Re: rendering issue: I'd blame the plug-ins before I blamed the software. It's up to the third-party manufacturer to make sure their software or hardware works with the platform it's running on, not the other way around.
Re: missing preview files: I'd guess that something changed enough "under the hood' with the upgrade that the previously-created preview files were no longer viable on the upgraded software. What it was, I couldn't say--but prudence suggests not upgrading in the midst of a project, especially one that's time-sensitive.
The only way I can imagine that you'd be able to recover the existing preview files is to uninstall Premiere and then apply the update that was "last good" (I'm guessing this means 4.0.1). Then, try opening a back-up of your project file (hopefully you have one), or if all else fails, an auto-saved version. Beyond that, your only hope is that the render goes smoothly with the last update; though as Jim suggested, there's no reason to render if you're planning to export to a file. Just set up the export, and cross your fingers.

How can save/convert a preview file into a Microsoft Word/.doc file?

Basically, I've open some email attachments and they've opened in 'preview'
I have tried to save them as a .doc file so that I can open them in Microsoft Word, but have been unable to do this.
I have tried 'save as...' but it doesn't come up with a .doc option
I have also tried the 'Open with' in the get info pop up, and have changed it to microsoft word but when I then try to open it, it comes up with a 'Convert File' box.
I have tried some of the options available but none of them work
Am I missing something? or am I going down the wrong route?
Is it even possible to do?
I'm not great at computers and so answers with obvious steps would be great!
Thanks!

Are these PDF files that you're attempting to save a .doc (or .docx) files. Preview won't do it. You can use a number of third-party application to accomplish what you want, but none of them are that inexpensive.
The least expensive application may be PDFpen - you can save Word documents from PDF files with it, amongst other things.
Good luck,
Clinton

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.

How to close a open file at OS level using Java program

I want to find a way to close a file connection at operating system (Windows 2000) level so that another program can overwrite the file. Here is the background information:
I need to schedule a job to automatically update certain files. But, when someone is accessing the file, the update will fail until I manually close the file connection at file server ( I have the system administrator privilege). I want to write a Java program that can automatically close the open file like I do manually at file server. This program can be placed on the file server in order to the job.
Does anyone know if there is any way in Java that can do the job?
Thanks

It's up to the application that opened the files to close them. There are utilities you can use to list/kill process on the machine..but you have to ask yourself WHY is this happening in the first place? It's more correct to fix the REAL problem - having your apps shut down properly - than to write a utility to close files.
That said...java alone cannot do this. You would either have to use JNI to get native access to the system or use System.Runtime to call an executable that does the job for you.

Premiere CS6 ignores preview files

I've just moved over from FCP to Premiere and I'm having some teething problems.
I have created an XDCAM HD 1080p timeline, made my film and graded it. I have then applied "Render Entire Workflow" so that I can watch the sequence without any dropped frames. The preview render files are saved in my documents folder on my machine. But after saving and reopening the project, I have to re-render the whole sequence again.
It's as if Pr can't find the preview files. The scratch disk is pointed to the right place and the files haven't been deleted.
Ha anyone got ideas on what's happening?
Thanks,
Dan
Computer specs:
Premiere CS6.0.5
MacOSX 10.6.8 3.2GHz Intel Core i3
12GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Update: After adding some audio to 5secs of the film, the whole film needs rendering again.

No I set the Preview files to my documents. The footage is stored on an Space server. Oringinally I had the preview files to follow the project, I had the same problem, so switched to keeping it locally.
The disk location for the Media cache is local(library/application support/adobe/common) but in a different place to the preview files. "save media cache files next to oringinals when possible" is unchecked. I'm not sure if any of this will have an effect?

Using preview files from Pr 5.5

I use the Suite 5.5 and this question is about Encore when using the Dynamic link from Premier Pro (Pr). I have always used the automated way to import from Pr to Encore. It automatically compresses as needed to fill the DVD. And because my video is almost always under 2 hours that works great. Even for videos that are over 2 hours long. Now here is the problem:
Sometime I use several effects in [Pr] and render so I can better see what I am doing without all that skipping.
I would like to use the render files (previews) for making the DVD in Encore when transcoding.
Yes, I understand you go to Edit Quality Presets and at the bottom you checkmark the [Use Previews] box. But now it is nolonger automatically compressing the file to fit the DVD, or I don't it so.
So the question is:
How can I use the preview files (rendered files) from [Pr] to speed up the transcoding in Encore and automatically size fit the Video to fill the DVD.
Thank you,
Tom

I don't think you can get both aspects - automatic or use previews.
The settings for a dynamic link transcode are in Encore. When a preset is selected, "use previews" is not selected by default, but can be selected by customizing the preset. But you have no control over the settings used for the automatic setting, beyond the default transcode setting, which for DVD is basically the max bitrate.
A "bit" of bitrate calculation and you'll still be good to go.

What is this red dot? How can i solve it?

Hi,
I can not run it, because there are red dots. I know, it means the signal from DAQ and the constans 500 are not same type, but i have to Multiply the analog voltage signal from daq. How can I solve it, how can i multiply the analog signal from daq (20mV) with 500? Or is there any option to convert them?
Thanks

I would change your DAQ Assistant 1 to be continuous samples, 1 sample per second. Then change the dynamic data type to a scaler numeric. Part of your problem is that you are taking 25,000 samples, but only using 1.
