Opening existing project with PRE 9

I have Premier Elements 9.0. When I start PRE and try to open a saved project, all I get is an empty window. The only way I can open an existing project is to first start a new one, then open the existing one from the File menu.
I don't know if it's connected, but I am also having a problem with installing an update that appears in Adobe Update manager. It downloads and then reports that it failed.

Great job of resolving your Premiere Elements 9 project opening issue.
McAfee can be particularly problematic for Premiere Elements, controlling both the antivirus and firewall(s).
As a just in case note, are you working from the 9.0.1 Update of version 9. If not, good idea to do so. But, if you do, please
use the online link from Adobe rather than the 9's opened project's Help Menu/Update.

Why can't I open items in iDVD sub menu & Open Existing project lists?

Recently I installed *Jam Pack-Music of the World*. Since then, my iMac experienced one Kernal Panic while I was using iMovie. Later I tried to burn the movie I had been working on, iDVD got stuck at audio encoding and then quit unexpectedly a while later. When I tried to +'Open Existing project'+ in iDVD, I noticed the list of files in the *Movie folder* of the iDVD dialogue window are shaded grey and could not be opened. (They could however be opened from the *Documents foder* where they are shown as .dvdproject files.) Additionally it became clear that about 40-50 GB of storage space on the hard drive had been lost. I have also noticed that the items listed in the *iDVD sub menu* (tool bar) are also grey and cannot be opened - although if I first open a project from the documents folder these items then show black and can be opened. I've had my iMac for 18 months and had no real problems till now. I'm new to computing and at a loss as to what's happened and how to rectify it.

I don't purport to be an expert, but since you have not gotten a response as yet, I'll give you my comment.
If you got a Kernal Panic, your computer is in need of some maintenance. The following recipe is from one of the gurus on the iMovie formum in a different context. " Restart from your install disk (by holding down the C key as you restart), and go to Disk Utility, then repair the hard disk. Restart as normal and then repair permissions from the same utility."
Make sure that you have enough free space on your hard drive for these programs to work -- at least 15GB and better 25GB.
You could also try uninstalling Jam Pack-Music of the World, and see if that clears up the problem.
Good luck.

Open FCExpress projects with FCP

Hi Mac friends,
I once had FCExpress. Not any more.
I´ve all FCExpress projects and all the media stored on an external FW hard drive.
Can I open this projects now with FCP and save them as new FCP Projects in order to use and preserve this works?
If so, what´s the proper way to do it?
Thank you very much.
L.

You can open FCE projects with FCP. You will not be able to open the updated projects from FCP on FCE.
Just do a "Save As..." to make a copy.

Cannot open existing Project File - General Error

I recently copied some FCP 4.5 projects from one drive to another (drag and drop) due to drive space issues. I did NOT use media manager to do this. I did not delete any files before I went back to try and open the project in the original location. Instead of the project loading, I got the "General Error" message. I could not open the newly copied version either. I deleted all rendered files I could find, no luck. My scratch discs are not located in one area (since some have been moved too), and I wonder if the links have gotten scattered. Does this have anything to do with this problem? If one moves an existing project's scratch disk files to another location, will it cause this problem? Any help will be appreciated. My deadline approaches quickly.

Moving project files shouldn't mess things up, unless you've updated FCP version.
I see you're on Tiger...have you been able to work FCP 4.5 projects on that OS/QT, in the past?
Moving the scratch files will drop the link, but you should be able to 'reconnect media' to get them back, provided you can get your project files to open.
Have you tried opening an autosave version of the project files in question?

Opening existing projects in iDvD

i have been able to burn existing projects in iDvd but when I exited and went back in, I cant open them anymore? can someone please help? thanks!

Hi
Did You alter anything in the movies or materials that built Your DVD project.
eg clicked on Update Project button -
If so - this is a BUG - and only way around it as I know of is to start all over
in iDVD and a new project.
Jumping from iDVD to iMovie to correct and then back - DOESN'T WORK - Apple know's about it !
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions

Can't Open Existing Projects

Hello, I'm using GarageBand 3.0.4, and i'm having a heck of a time trying to understand why this is happening:
I have GB projects (music projects) made (only 2 of them). I click on the GarageBand icon in the dock, the window that gives you an option of what file you want to create pops up (after initializing). The last option says "Open Existing File". I click on it, brings me to the window to select the file I want to open. I select the one I want, click open, then....frustration.
What happens is, it just takes me back to the window that asks me what type of file I want to create (and the "open existing file" option at the bottom). I've tried opening up the other file, and still the same thing.
I even tried making a new project, saving it, and then try opening it up again, but does the same thing.
What's going on here?!
-Thanks

Well, YAY! and Gah!
At least we have you up and running, but I'm not sure what the actual problem is.
It makes me think that some kind of support file is munged (technical term), but I wouldn't expect that to affect opening a file, just creating one (I've seen this and been able to recreate it, so it makes sense to me)
About the only thing that I can think off at the moment is reinstalling GB from the original DVD. I would probably search for everything with the name "GarageBand" and delete it/them (except, obviously, files or folders I created) and then do the install.

Querystring for opening existing record with additional parameters in CRM 2013.

Opening v4 projects with v7

One of my colleagues has recently upgraded to Captivate v7 and she has a lot of her projects created with v4.
Are there any problems / issues if she opens the v4 projects with v7?
I will inform her to keep a copy of the v4 projects before opening them with v7 (just in case) - but are there any problems or other issues she needs to be aware of?
Noel

You'll need to throw out any AS2 components because since Cp5 now everything is AS3. This will include AS2 widgets, playbars, skins, animations, etc.
You'll also find that the Quiz Results slide will not function correctly by default (Continue button will disappear) and you'll need to delete it and set it up again once you finally get to Cp7.
There are many RD system variables in earlier versions that are now being phased out in favour of CP equivalents. If your Advanced Actions use the old RD variables, change them over immediately before a future Cp version means they'll stop working entirely.
Be aware that text animations changed significantly from Cp5 onward and some quiz question formats also seem to be suspect. Test everything thoroughly when you are finally in Cp7 and throw away any slides that seem to be malfunctioning for no apparent reason. Rebuild as much as you can in Cp7.

Premiere Pro 5.5.2 crashes on opening existing project

ok so i haven't had an issue before. but its been a few months since i last used premiere pro.
so i open premiere pro and i create a new project, i add my music and the mp4's i will be using, i'm on a mac osx by the way most recent version, so im able to select specific scenes from the mp4's and add them to the time line as well as add the music to the timeline. i make a good 30 seconds and figure i will continue this project tomorrow. so i save and close the application.
its today now, and i go to open my project, and all these errors are happening. first in the preview window theres an orange sign stating theres no media or something, i can't view my timeline sequence i made the nite before, i cant even add my videos that were already imported to the project the other nite, or if i am able to add them to select a scene, it freezes in a somewhat bright black window is shown.
ive tried resetting preferences, by holding down shift and alt on my keyboard, that didnt work. deleted the rendered previews, that didnt work. i see many posts on here where no one has been able to even fix the issue. no one from adobe seems to know whats going on.
so what is going on? i'd like to finish my project.

c'mon all these views and NO ONE has an answer? where's adobe guys? shouldnt they be monitoring and seeing how to help?

Can't start any new projects or open existing projects

Since today, Premiere isn't working at all! I'm getting the well known error message
I red about this bug that it appeared when trying to open existing files, but in my case i can't do anything anymore! What to do? Tried uninstalling iCloud, re-installing Premiere pro and system recovery, none worked... Please help...
Kind regards, Henri

Just installed Quadro 4000 Mac, now Premiere crashes when I try to open existing project

Mac Pro 4,1
Premiere Pro 5.5
OS X 10.6.8
I just replaced the stock ATI card with a PNY Quadro 4000 for Mac.
Via CUDA Preferences, have updated CUDA driver to 4.0.50
GPU driver is 1.6.37.0 (256.02.25f01)
When I try to open any existing Premiere project, Premiere crashes.
This happens whether I'm running the OS X 32-bit kernel or the 64-bit kernel.
If I launch Premiere and create a new project, Premiere seems to run OK. (I haven't yet tried adding any content or working with the content.)
As you can imagine, the only reason I shelled out for the CUDA-capable card was to take advantage of the hardware acceleration in Mercury. So ... not a very satisfying "upgrade" so far.
Any clues?

There are four sequences in all. Two are super-simple, with only one clip in each. A third has only a single clip plus four titles. The main sequence has multiple clips, two stills and three titles plus one extra audio track.
When the crash occurs, there's no error dialog box. What I see is this:
After I double-click the project file -- or open Premiere and choose the project from the splash screen -- the "loading" progress bar appears and seems to complete loading.
Premiere starts to draw the window for its workspace. It creates a solid white rectangle, the wristwatch "wait" icon appears briefly, then Premiere crashes.
The log captured by the Apple and Adobe crash reporters shows (among much else):
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000

Why can't I open Premiere projects with Premiere?

For some reason .prproj files were defaulted to opening with adobe acrobat. I've tried to the change the default application but none of the options are Premiere, programs like utorrent, photoshop, and dreamweaver show up but not premiere. When I click browse and choose the Premiere executable file from the premiere folder in program files nothing changes, it still opens with one of the default programs.
Can I change this? It's not a huge problem because I can open premiere and then browse to the project but it's pretty annoying and it would be convinient if I could just double click the project file and open it.
Thanks - Jason

That is an operating system function... If you are on Windows, search http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US for help with file assocation

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'

Unable to open existing project in idvd

I have saved a project in Idvd (dvdproj. file), I can locate the project however when I try to open it, it opens a blank project. I am using idvd ver. 7.04. What am I doing wrong as I don't want to re-create as I have several hours invested in the Idvd project file.

I don't normally use iPhoto, so I imported a QuickTime movie. It shows up in the Media pane in iDVD. Did you create an Album for them?

Can't open existing library with new photos app on iMac 10.10.3

I have upgraded my iMac to yosemite 10.10.3, with the new Photos app. I have been using iPhoto Library Manager to create and manage my libraries, which I store on an external hard drive.
Now, with the upgrade and new Photos app, some libraries open and I can access my photos without a problem, but other libraries don't seem to open. Instead, I get the new Photos windows with the demo slideshow, etc. I'm worried that the photos within the libraries I'm unable to open are now gone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

How is the EHD formatted?
If the external hard drive is not formatted OS X Extended (journaled) Photos will not be able to open them. Actually iPhoto requires the volume to be formatted that way also but doesn't check the format before opening. Many users have been able to operated on EHDs that were not formatted properly for a while but eventually ended up with a damage/corrupted library.
