No project files appear on 'Composite toolbox' scenario

Hi all
When I executed the scenario 'Composite toolbox' with discover system V3 according to the manual document of 'Demonstrating CAF ver2.0.pdf' ,
there is no project file 'basis.core.register' which dicribes on the document at page 6.
So I didn't enforce the following of the scenario.
Can anyone please suggest me how to overcome it?

Hi Hideki,
Please see this thread : Out-of-the-Box Demonstrations: Composite Toolbox for similar problem and solution.
Thanks,
Deepa

  • Every time I open my project, a duplicate project file appears

    Hello,
    Every time I open a project, let's say it's called Documentary 1 saved on my Desktop ....as soon as it opens in Adobe Premiere, Documentary 1_1 will appear on my Desktop, making a duplicate of the project.
    How do I turn this feature off? I have tons of projects, and it's frustrating that every time I open one, a duplicate is made. It's just making clutter on my hard drive and desktop that is annoying to constantly have to throw a project file away in the recycling bin.
    Thank you!
    Nicole

    Try launching from within Premiere using "OPEN"
    FWIW - I have a Projects Folder that contains all my PPRO Projects.  Its on a dedicated drive and not the Boot/ Applications  Drive.
    I assume Desktop would be on the Boot drive.

  • Project file appears to be damaged - really, ALL of 'em?

    Hi all, longtime editor, relatively new to Adobe PremierePro...
    I'm working with a producer who's sending me his offline cuts...However, I have not successfully gotten a project file to open up yet, and I'm getting more than a little frustrated at the inability of the software to just open a project.
    He's on whatever the current CC pay-per-month deal is...I've tried opening his projects in both CS5 and CS6 Premiere, to no avail...Not only can I not open up the project I need, but there are about half a dozen others in the drive he sent me, all of which I've tried, so I can't chalk it up to one corrupt project.
    So can someone clue me in...what's so hard about opening a project across the various releases of Premiere? Is there some sort of magic here?

    I don't think "backwards compatibility" is an issue here
    It is because its fact and the reason you cant open current projects in past versions.
    This is not one of those instances.
    Well actually it is.
    How many versions and ,updates do you think there have been between CS6 and current?
    I dont know the answer but its many ...and more than one have not been backward compatible.
    Tell me that the CC version of Premier is SO changed, SO different, and SO full of new, improved goodness...
    Well..I am here to tell you that I believe it is a far superior NLE to CS6 now. I have ben delighted with what I call significant advances.
    If it could be coded backwardly compatible..I am not a software engineer so have no idea.
    Your issue is more about "subscription models" no matter which way you "paint" it.
    Thats your right!

  • Cannot load project files

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing a problem loading after effects CS5 project files;
    when I'm done with my composition, I save it as .aep file. but when I load this file, all I get is a folder named after my project that has all the elements but when I drag it to the timeline I only see the elements stacked without retaining the placement in the timeline, order, replications (if found), keyframes, effects, etc.....
    oddly though, when I play the timeline, the animations and effects appear but I cannot edit them
    there was only once that a project was loading all the elements correctly, but after a couple of times it said something like "cannot find log file for the project" then when I opnened it it was the same as above though I didn't move or delete anything.
    any help?
    thanks

    That doesn't make a lot of sense.
    Where are you saving the project file?  Is the file path different from that of your footage?
    Then, in AE, you don't "load" a project file.  You OPEN a project file.  When it opens, you see the footage you've IMPORTED into the project, along with the AE comps you've made,  prior to saving it.
    jakyhot wrote:

    By "it", do you mean the project file, or something else?  I can't grasp what you're actually doing.
    Something tells me you may have had some Photoshop experience previously, and you expect AE to work the way Photoshop does.  I also get the feeling you're trying to use AE intuitively, based on that photoshop experience. 
    That's a recipe for disaster, plain and simple.  You'll end up baffled and frustrated, missing all the features AE provides, and that's a shame.  You really need to begin at the beginning:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html
    ...and if you happen to have a little extra cash, about as much as the purchase price of a video game, here's something much, much better:
    http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321734866
    If this assumption about your experience is wrong, you should sing out.  The problem then becomes one of not knowing the proper AE Lingo, and you're simply speaking Swahili to a bunch of Indonesians; confusion reigns in such a situation.

  • Captivate Project File Backward Compatibility

    I tried searching online, as well as in the forums, but I wasn’t able to find a similar scenario where Captivate 6 can open/work with/convert old Captivate 1 .cp project files.
    We have an old version of Captivate (Macromedia version 1.01.1418.1418) and we already have created a number of .cp files.
    System specs where Captivate 1 is installed:
    Windows XP Professional 2002 (32-bit), SP3,Intel Core 2 Duo, P8400 @2.26GHz, 1.98Gb RAM
    System specs where Captivate 6 (Trial Version) is installed:
    Windows 7 Enterprise 2009 (64-bit), SP1, Intel Core 2 Duo, E8400 @3.00GHz, 2.00Gb RAM
    We tried to open it with the trial version of Captivate 6 but the file won’t open. Files opened were already saved locally. The following notification appears:
    We already checked that no other application is accessing the said file while it is being opened in Captivate 6.
    Is there a way to convert the file so that it can be opened in Captivate 6?
    We already have a purchase of new licenses for Captivate 6 in the works. We just want to confirm this early if there’s a way to handle the projects we created using Captivate 1. This way we could adjust resources if we need to work on the .cp projects we made using Captivate 1 and start from scratch using Captivate 6.
    My apologies if this inquiry has already been addressed somewhere in the forum, however, I really need to find out the solution at the soonest possible time.

    I suppose the only way would be to try to find some versions between CP1 and CP6 and try to upgrade in steps. There has been so many changes since that version, and it is clearly told that you cannot upgrade that far backwards. Not even sure if you could upgrade without issues from CP1 to CP4. CP5 was a totally different version, so you should at least have to upgrade first to CP4. Even then there could be a lot of problems going from 4 to 5 and later, because AS2 is no longer supported.
    However there is no problem to have both versions installed on the same system. I have CP4, 5, 5.5 and 6 installed on my laptop and they are living happily together

  • "Unable to open project file" Error Message

    I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
    - only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
    - was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
    I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
    Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

  • How to change default value in "Project file" dialog

    I'm new to Labview, and I've encountered an example with a dialog that allows to define a path to a file.  If I open the properties on the block diagram of this block the name of the block appears to be "Path Properties: Project file:"   The default value points to a different place than where the file installed and the VI won't run untiI I change the path.  If I save and open the file, it doesn't remember the change.  When the vi is running I can right click the text and there is an option to reinitialize to default.  I've rooted around all over the place and can't find where this can be set or changed.  How do I change this? 

    On the front panel, change the control to the desired value.
    Now, right click on the control, select Data Operations and Make Current Value Default.

  • Need someone on PC to open and save Pro 1.5 project file in CS3

    I am trying to salvage one of my old project files from when i worked on a PC. i can't do this because CS3 for Mac won't import old PC project files.
    If anyone would be so kind as to accept my small project file and save it in Premiere Pro CS3 on their PC i would be much obliged.
    -Dave

    theaveragedave,
    On the Mac, the Project file will *usually* appear without any file extension. Instead there will be one, or more, "helper/locator" files. These will usually be the filename, but with "._" (or similar) prepended to it. These are of no use to a PC.
    All that I did was Copy the Project files to a new folder, and in it, added the ".prproj" extension. All opened fine. (Actually, since this was a pre-Pro version, I think that I added ".proj," but you would use ".prproj.")
    If I were going to "convert" the Project, I'd gather up all Assets, keeping the folder structure exactly the same. Gather up the Project files (renaming, as is necessary), and furnish all of this to the person doing the conversion. This *should* keep your Asset Links working*. The other option would be to just convert the Project file, but then you will have to manually re-Link every Asset. If one gets lucky, and the Assets are stored in one folder, PP *might* be able to have you locate the first missing Asset, and then automatically locate the rest. I hesitate on this last comment, because you will have converted the Project, so things do not always work 100% the way they would otherwise. I had to do a lot of re-Linking, but I was jumping several versions and from Mac to PC. Still, once the Assets were re-Linked, all has worked perfectly.
    Good luck finding a PC operator with CS3. Should not be that hard. Wish I could help you more, but CS2 won't cut it, for what you need to do.
    Hunt
    * Keeping the drive letter the same will be a big step to keeping your links. Let's say that you are working on your D:\ drive (sure that Mac would call it something else), and you copy over to an external. I'd have the PC operator copy the Assets (with folder structure) to their D:\, just to keep the Links. Does this make sense?
    PS one little consideration is Mac's not using NTSF HDDs and the file size limitation of Fat-32 HDDs. However, you already have your Project and its Assets on a Mac, so this is probably moot.

  • Prelude takes a long time to open a (new) project file

    Hi,
    I'm trying out Prelude, and I've created a new project and ingested (via link) about 20 hours of Canon XF footage in about 1000 files from an internal hard drive. All the media loaded correctly and all the audio peak files were generated.
    When I close and reopen Prelude and try to open that project, the "loading project" window pops up, the progress bar proceeds to completion over a few seconds, and the window goes away. The issue is that Prelude is then unresponsive for the next ten or fifteen minutes! I can see the entire interface, but nothing responds. I can see the clips listed, but their thumbnails are not loaded. Windows System Monitor tells me Prelude is actively using CPU and accessing the disk. After 10-15 minutes, the thumbnails appear and I'm able to use Prelude, but this seems like a LONG time to load a not-so-big project on a pretty new system. Is this normal?
    My system has one of the new i7-4770k processors, 16 GB of RAM, a Samsung 840 SSD for the system drive, and an internal Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM drive as the media drive for this project, so I would expect loading to be pretty snappy. While Prelude is unresponsive, system monitor shows it using 15-20% CPU, 11 GB of RAM, and only 5-10 MB/s disk access. I've tried recreating the project file from scratch several times, with the same result every time.
    Is this wait time normal? Is there any way I can speed it up?
    If it's still loading, it seems like it should provide some feedback about that, too.

    Hi Michael,
    I tested out Prelude with approximately half of the same footage of my
    larger project. It still had a brief unresponsive period but,
    interestingly, the relationship to the amount of footage didn't seem to be
    linear. Whereas a project with all the footage takes 10 minutes, this one
    only took about a minute.
    I should also point out that, although this is all Canon XF footage and all
    the media is in numbered subdirectories with metadata like on the card,
    they are not contained within the "CLIPS001" directory that your Canon XF
    importer uses to identify XF media. Therefore, when I import them, the
    import dialog doesn't identify the media directories as such. I don't know
    whether that makes a difference, just wanted to try to help narrow it down
    in any way I can.
    Hope that helps. Will you update me when you have something?
    Thanks.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards
    Susan 

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    ...Rae

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • How do I save Icon templates with the Project files?

    My project files are stored in a folder, say, "My Documents\LabVIEW\My Project", and this folder, in turn, is saved under (Sub)Version Control.  I'd like to include a sub-folder called "Icon Templates" that could contain the icon templates I'm using in this project, but they seem to be "forced" into "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates" (almost the same, but the "owning folder" is different).
    Is there any way to change, preferably on a Project-by-Project basis, the default location for Icon Editor templates?  I tried to figure this out, and saw that one could change where "3rd Party" templates were stored, but that didn't seem to do anything (maybe because I don't understand the concept of a "3rd Party"?).
    An important (to me!) reason to accomplish this is that I want to commit my new icons when I commit the rest of the Project, and have them appear when I checkout the project on another machine (or do an update from the Repository).
    Suggestions welcomed ...
    Bob Schor

    Well, I thought of this as well.  I did change Default Data Documents (which seems to be where Icon Editor expects to find its Templates file) to My Documents\LabVIEW (instead of LabVIEW Data), and that worked (sort of).  But that still doesn't solve my problem.  I have multiple projects -- My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1, say, and My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 2, and want to have a specific set of icon templates for each stored, say, as Project 1\Icon Templates and Project 2\Icon Templates.
    My problem is two-fold.  First, there is a setting in Icon Editors, Tools, that seems to be designed to let you designate where your "special" templates are located, which I've set to, for example, My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1\Icon Templates.  However, when using the Icon editor, these templates never appear!  It's as though it's still "locked" into the "3rd Party" sub-folder of the parent Icon Templates folder.  Second, even if this worked (which it doesn't), is there a way to "embed" this setting as part of Project so that the settings "stay with the Project" (and can thereby be customized)?  One important reason to do this is to simplify organizing Projects and folders on disk -- I keep them "together" (use the same structure for both, so a Project is contained, on disk, inside a single set of nested folders), which greatly simplifies and facilitates using Version Control to manage development.
    Thanks for the reference.  I didn't know about all of the symbolic names.  It does appear that they are only used in the VI Search Path entry, correct?

  • Help needed ASAP -- Project file won't open

    Stuck in Africa right now (can't call telephone support).
    I am volunteering on a medical/dental trip and am in charge of the final nights video.
    Here is the problem.
    I am almost done with the video (15 minutes long -- full HD) and suddenly the when I click on the project from the project library it won't open.
    all the other projects open fine. Just this one project won't.
    when I click on it, the project library slides to the side, but behind it is another project library, but when I mouse over it plays the movie, but it is un-editable in this state.
    It was working great until this dreadful moment....
    I saw another post about deleting the thumbnails for an EVENT that was having problems. Can this be done with a PROJECT file?
    The big movie presentation/trip is in 12 hours....
    Can anyone help me???

    One time, after quitting IM and re-launching it later, my project disappeared from the project list.
    Apple Support told me to do this.
    1) quit IM
    2) with the finder, move the project out of the project directory
    3) launch IM
    4) quit IM
    5) with the finder, put the project back into the project directory
    6) launch IM
    My project re-appeared. He said these steps forces a project index to be rebuilt.
    Your symptoms are different but maybe the cure is the same --- good luck.

  • DVDSP3 Won't Make New Buttons, Won't Open Project Files

    HELP!!!!
    The button editor in my DVDSP 3.02 stopped working after it opens a new project file. I mean, when you go to a menu and then hold down the mouse button and drag, nothing happens. It will not create any new buttons. Even if you drag a button template over and use the pop-up submenu. It will not create any buttons.
    Worse is what happens when I open an existing project file. Then it stalls forever at the "Loading Menus" point in the "Loading Project" dialog. It doesn't crash, it just stalls there forever. However, if I click "cancel" - THEN the app crashes.
    But it won't make buttons in the new project files it can open, and it won't open any existing project files. Very confusing.
    Here's what I know and have done to this point...
    If I watch this whole process in the Activity Monitor, here's what I see. I find that two apps named "DSPX_AEncoderServer" and "DSPX_EncoderServer" get hung (and turn red) when the "Loading menus" point is reached in the document load. Sometimes DVDSP will say it's hung, too, but not always.
    However, I found that my DVDSP app still runs flawlessly if I boot from my "clone" backup drive, which is how I'm still able to get work done currently.
    Back on my normal boot drive, all of the other Apple Pro apps still run perfectly - FCP, Compressor, A-Pack, etc. But not DVDSP.
    OK, here's a clue, but I don't know what it means. Two months ago, I had the logic board replaced on my G4. All the pro apps made me re-register. Then this DVDSP problem appeared out of the blue. Nothing fixed it that I could find. What made it finally go away was the timely arrival of a new Security Update to the OS via "Software Update." Installing that made the problem with DVDSP go away, for good.
    Not doing hard drive maintenance, repairing privleges, fully optimizing OS, Disk Warrrior, Norton DiskDoctor - none of them worked. But that Security Update showing up, installing, and then doing the post-install optimize fixed the problem. That time. Or maybe it didn't? Because...
    Two weeks ago the FW ports on the "new" logic board blew, just like the original, so AppleCare gave me a third logic board.
    Same deal as before with all the pro apps wanting to re-register because they are seeing a different serial number in firmware.
    Also, just like before, I have this trouble with DVDSP. But I can't fix it this time.
    In the past three days (two of which were really one "large" day with no sleep period in between) here's what I have done in an attempt to fix this, without success.
    I dumped the receipts for the DVDSP v3 installs and upgrades, then I reinstalled the DVDSP components from my original disc, and then reinstalled the online 3.02 upgrade. No go.
    I did all of the above, except this time I found an Apple TechNote on deinstalling DVDSP v2. So using that as a guide I did my best to delete the app and all its supporting files, as well as the install receipts, before doing a fresh install of the app and the v3.02 upgrade. No go.
    I did a plethora of hard drive and system maintenance thinking that perhaps some files had been misplaced, a hard drive directory corrupted, a bundle bit here or there un-set, a few system libraries de-optimized, various font and system caches corrupted, as well as numerous log files too filled up with "essential" data to run correctly therefore in need of deletion.
    Along with anything else I could think of based on my 20+ years of supporting Macs in a production environment. Again, no go.
    So I deleted all the DVDSP files and receipts from my boot drive again. Then I dumped all the install receipts for OS 10.3.9 and ran the "combo" version installer for that OS upgrade. Next I dumped the receipts for the Security Updates and reinstalled those. Then I did drive maintenance, OS permission fixing and optimizing. Then reinstalled DVDSP and friends. Still no go.
    But my version of the app that is on my backup hard drive that I cloned right before taking the Mac to the shop for the 3rd logic board still runs just fine. I boot off that drive (connected via Firewire) and DVDSP will run fine.
    I'm confused.
    Now I'm not inclined to spend a lot more time on this since my DVDSP 4 upgrade is due for delivery any day now, and I'm sure that will work OK. Especially since I'm planning on moving to Tiger at that point, too.
    But in the meantime, it sure would be nice to know what happened to my "regular" copy of DVDSP.
    Can anyone figure this out, or at least give me some new ideas on now to troubleshoot this?
    Apple Support refuses to help me because I'm still using an "unsupported" version of DVDSP. Even though I'm still using it because my purchased upgrade is being delivered via "media mail" - the US Postal Service's version of the proverbial "Slow Boat."
    That was a difficult and frustrating conversation withthe Apple Support rep, too, let me tell you. I've been a fan, user, customer, supporter, and evangelist for Apple hardware and software since 1984. But when that voice on the other end of the phone essentially told me that...
    a) if I was not using the latest and greatest version of the software, AND...
    b) if I was not willing to spend several hundred dollars each year on support fees...
    ...then I was basically on my own and they would not help me. Worse, they didn't care that I was an old and loyal customer, or that I was even a stockholder in the company. The support system essentially told me to get stuffed. Yee-e-e-ow!!!!
    I was especially mad about this because I have this nagging suspicion that this whole problem I'm having with DVDSP is somehow related to some kind of copy protection scheme that Apple has going on but doesn't talk about.
    I mean why did I need to re-enter the serial numbers for all my pro apps when I changed logic boards? Is my problem being caused by some Pro App component that knows enough to stop working when it thinks it's been bootlegged, but doesn't know enough to trigger a re-registration of itself.
    At this point, that idea is beginning to sound more and more plausible as the cause of my trouble.
    Anyway, this problem is seriously hurting my workflow. I'm out of ideas and I need some guidance from the collected wisdom of the forum to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    I didn't see anywhere that you had downloaded and
    installed the latest proApplication Support file. If
    you haven't, you should do this next:

    upport31macosx1039.html
    Hal:
    I had reinstalled that ProApps Support version, but I hadn't done it since I deleted all the app files and such, then done a complete reinstall from the DVD.
    So I just downloaded it afresh, and then installed it. Then I restarted, and then repaired permissions with Disk Utility.
    Still no go.
    I'm bamboozled. I thought I knew something about this stuff, but I guess it's good to stay humble.
    However, my 5.1 studio upgrade just arrived in today's mail. I think I'm going to take a chance. I'm between projects right now. So I'm going to upgrade my OS to Tiger>then 10.4.6 upd. Then I'll take a shot at installing the new FCP Studio upgrade and see what happens.
    Any comments or advice? Otherwise, wish me luck. I'll let you know how this works out with a post here.
    Sure wish I could figure out what's going on with my DVDSP v3, though. I really HATE to leave unresolved problems hanging out there. Seems like they always come back to bite you again if you don't deal with them.
    Thanks for the help.
