Opening projects that have a DVD menu.
I am unable to re-open projects that contain a DVD menu after I have correctly closed the project. Specifically, I have a series of MPEG videos (saved by Premiere Elements). They all open fine and run welel individually and collectively. I then put a DVD menu in with all the Chapter and Scene menu markers and then saved it and closed the project to come back to it at a later time. When I re-open I get the error "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere elements to shut down . . ." and the whole program closes.
I have tried this twice with different videos and get the same result. I have never before tried to include a DVD menu in a Premiere 9 project. I have Windwos 7, 32 bit, plenty of memory and disc space, I have tried two different disc drives(both NTFS format) and reinstalled Premiere. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do specific things in Premiere. Few general users stop by here, so there will be few, if any, "eyes" on your issue. Maybe our tireless MOD, Steve Grisetti, can move this out to the main forum, where many more users will see your post.
I do not recall anyone else having issues with Opening any Projects, with DVD/BD Menus and navigation. The addition of those elements should not affect the ability to Open such Projects, but in your case, they do. I cannot imagine what is happening to cause those Projects to fail to Open, but maybe others will have similar experiences, and can offer some help. If the post can be moved to the main forum, it stands a greater chance that those users will see it, and can help.
Good luck,
Hunt

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???
Jules,
You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

I have a need to open files that have a mq4 and tpl extension. Do you have a program to open these?
Do you have an add-on or a way to open files that have a MQ4 or TPL extension?

FCP X cannot open project that I created in the trial version
I bought FCP X. Now I am trying to open projects that I worked on in the trial version but they will not open.
I get the following message:
I already trashed the trial version.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks
AnnemarieYou cannot open projects in FCP. You need to update your projects and events for the new version. Read about it. Start here

FCPX is not loading titles and generators and crashes when loading projects that have them already
Hello,
I am currently trying to add titles and generators (and themese too) to a new project in FCPX. However when I click on either the titles or generators tab nothing appears in the select area. However, when selecting transitions, music, effects and all the other tabs they show their respective items fine. I have already deleted my preferences plist which did not do anything, as well as restarted my computer.
Also, if I try to load a project that has titles in it, FCPX crashes. I have attached a few screenshots of what I am experiencing:
Here is the crash log:

What my statement above indicates is that FCPX is not a replacement for video professionals.
Apple definitely has alienated the video professionals with this release of Final Cut Pro. And, if not addressed within the next 12 months probably it will be a good bye to the video professional community.
The application may be a success, but with a new audience. Not with the core of users that made it a current success.
Apple should learn from Aperture, their software that was touted as the photography application for professionals. It is a great tool, but it lost the battle against Adobe Photoshop Lightroom in the Professional community, along ago. It did, because Apple was not listening to the professionals, and was trying to change the workflow of all these pros.
FCPX indeed is a new way to see post, but Apple is not the mighty enterprise to make a whole industry change. Video/Film Editing is older than Apple, and Apple is not the only company in this field providing solutions. Granted, FCP (version 7 and prior) needed some tweaks, but as applications, they are great tools. FCPX, is not there yet. And it should have been named something else. It is not the next version of FCP, is a whole new application.
I agree, calling it a Pro, is an insult.
Paraphrasing one of Pixar's movies, The Incredibles: When everyone is a Pro, no-one is! -
Book hours on activities/projects that have status TECO.
Dear PS gurus,
Can we book hours in CAT2, on activities that have status teco, actually here we are using ZHR_timesheet for booking actual hrs instead of using CAT2, but now our requirement is that in status TECO, the system should not allow the user to book hrs, the system must give error message while entering hrs against network activities.
What is to be done to achieve this fuctioanilty. CAT2 or ZHR_timesheet??? is it possible??
Regards,
Ansarthats great, i will check it & get back to this forum. but how to trace from Project to WBS to Network to activities, table??
i found out that I0045 is the system ststus for TECO by BS23 tcode, here in Zhr_timesheet transaction we enter only P as project then network then activity, then enter, the sytem allows to enter hrs. Any to find out the heirarchy from PROJ_PRPS_AUFK_AFVC.
Regards,
Ansar -
Cant install spore from USB backup disk on new IMACS that have no DVD drive.
I am trying to test Spore on my father's new Imac but it will not let me install.
I copied the whole DVD content on a portable USB drive and I can install it fine from there via my own MAC but from my father's new IMAC 2012 that has no DVD drive I am greeted by the error.
"could not verify the integrity of the installer"
any ideas why?Actually I resolved the issue. My system is 10.7 not Mountain Lion.
I resolved the issue by moving all the content to the root of the portable drive: they were in a subfolder called SPORE which caused the installation to be unrecognizable.
Thanks for helping ! -
I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension? I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
Thanks for your help!I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either. -

normally this means you are not or cannot connect to Apple server. Usually this is from a line in your Hosts file directing traffic away from the Apple server.
Open your Host file using Notepad and see if you have a line that reads gs.apple.com if you do you will need to remove this line and you will be able to Restore after.
You can Google or YouTube "how to edit host file" for help. -
Open Requirements that have a material status 05 or 06 or set to delete
I managed to get a list of all materials that are in material status 05, 06, or delete. I need to find all the requirements that are opened for these statuses. I am having a heck of a time locating the table that I can input these material numbers and to validate if they have an open requirement, sales order, or PO that needs to be canceled. Thanks in advance and I will reward points.
Hello Kimberly,
First of all, Download all the material numbers which has 05,06 or deletion status. Material field is
MARA-MSTAE (Cross plant status) = 05/06
MVKE-LVORM (Distribution-chain-specific material status) = 05/06
MVKE- VMSTA (Flag for deletion at Distribution level) = X
MARA-LVORM (Flag for deletion at client level) = X
MARC-LVORM (Flag for deletion at Plant location level) = X
MARD-LVORM (Flag for deletion at storage location level) = X
check for all this mateiral if there is any open purchse order (EKPO) /sales order (VBAP) / Reservation or dependent requirements (RESB)
The process the for cancellation
Hope this will be helpful.
Regards

Uploading iMovie Projects that have been Deleted from iMovie
I recently deleted a few movies from my iMovie, to make some room, I still have the original Project files and would like to reload it back into iMovie to edit, How do I do this?
ThanksThe size of most apps are small, so I suggest allowing the apps to finish downloading by iTunes followed by deleting the apps from iTunes.

I can't open photos that have been messaged to me.
When friends send me picture messages, I can see the smaller image.. when I tap on the photo to view it larger, nothing happens. I've also had problems with pictures and videos not saving to my Camera Roll. This is a brand new issue, but it is a bit annoying, so a quick fix would be appreciated!
The system doesn't work across countries. Your friend in China cannot gift you content in the France store and if you have a french account, you cannot redeem content from the China store.
Send the redeem codes back to her and she can redeem them for herself or give them to a local friend with an account in the China store. -
Premiere Elements 13 problem with DVD menu templates
I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 for my iMac. It crashes every time I attempt to add a DVD menu template to my project. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
I just uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere Elements. When I opened the program, I clicked on Movie Menus from the Tools menu. There were blue bands on the menu thumbnails and I right-clicked on one and selected "download all." P.E. let me know that the files would need 2.5 GB of space and I told it to go ahead and download the files. The download was going fine and it downloaded all 2.5 GB of data. I could see the blue bands disappear from the thumbnails as the download progressed. When the downloading process was over the progress window disappeared. I saw the rainbow colored pinwheel spin around for several seconds and then the program crashed. The next thing I saw was a "Crash Report" with several lines of "computerese" and the message that it would be sent to Apple. I clicked OK and in a second or two a window from Adobe appeared asking me if I wanted to restart the program and send the crash report to Adobe. There was also an option for me to ask Adobe to send me feedback or tips for a workaround or solution to the problem and what came back was the message that Adobe had no workaround or solution to my problem. For each of the previous times the program crashed, I have seen all of these windows that I just described.
One other thing: when I re-opened Premiere Elements after the crash, I looked at the movie menu thumbnails and the blue bands were not there any more. So it seems as though Premiere Elements "thinks" they have been downloaded. If so, where are they and how do I use them? And how do I prevent the program from crashing?
Feel free to ask me any questions you want to, especially if they will help solve this problem. One reason I bought this program is that I want to make DVDs with menus and chapter selection buttons. I have been using iDVD, but Apple no longer supports it, and it does have a few bugs I have had to work around. I also have DVD Studio Pro, which came with Final Cut Studio a few years ago (before Final Cut Pro X) but it is not very user friendly. I also have Final Cut Pro X, which has the option of authoring DVDs, but doesn't have the DVD menu template options that are in iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks for your attention and help.

Somewhat disillusioned by the breadth of the pre-canned menu offerings in the "Street" version of Prel 9 and refusing to be held hostage by Adobe's "Plus" offerings, I decided to open up the world of DVD menu editing. I downloaded Chuck Engel's excellent PDF on the subject (is there an updated version to that? - His discussion centers around Version 2, although for the most part, his notations from that version on how to construct menus seems to be quite applicable to Prel Version 9; i.e., the basic syntax for naming the layers hasn't changed).
One thing I noticed when browsing through the DVD menus directory
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 -->DVD Templates --> DVD Menu Name
Is that most of the template structures use the PAL pixel dimension for SD (640 X 575) as opposed to NTSC (648 X 480). Is there a reason for that? There are skeleton templates for all four major formats (SD-NTSC, Wide Screen NTSC, SD-PAL, and Wide Screen PAL) and it would seem, at least superficially, that using the PAL pixel dimensions, as opposed to the NTSC pixel dimensions, would result only in a marginally larger vertical size of any resulting menu developed under those constructs, perhaps inferring that the tops and bottoms of any menus developed using the PAL construct would be slightly truncated.
Of course, if one still used the NTSC text and graphics guides, that would not be a problem. My basic questions is: In the majority of pre-canned menus offered by Adobe with it's base product, most of them seem to use the PAL pixel dimensions for SD as opposed to the NTSC dimensions.
Has anyone experienced difficulties with menus developed under the PAL definitions and used in an NTSC format ... incorrect menu size, strange appearances, etc., and more, why would Adobe package tier product with so may PAL menu templates if they weren't usable in the NTSC environment?
Thanks ...Continuing ...
It would appear to me that PrEl only needs a correctly named template file in the templates folder. If the syntax of the name is correct, PrEl will attempt to use it. For instance:
An SD NTSC template file name is structured thusly:
TemplateName_formatName_mm.psd
Where format name = ntsc_s; the entire file name being: TemplateName_ntsc_s_mm.psd
The equivalent SD PAL menu would be named:
TemplateName_pal_s_mm.psd
In essence, to me at least, this infers that if the file name is correct, PrEl will present it as a selection option, regardless of what is actually contained in the file. Of course, it must be a valid file type, but I am suggesting here that PrEl will attempt to use any file that is named correctly.
Which means I can develop a file of almost any size (within reason of course), give it a proper name, and PrEl will attempt to use it as a DVD Menu. By extension, I can develop a 16:9 menu, give it a proper name, and PrEl will allow me to use it, even thoiugh it looks crappy.
When I began looking into this, I assumed that when you initially defined your project during the setup phase that Adobe set a flag somewhere in the application that restricted your choices in matters like menu development to only those components with comparable attributes; i.e., if my project is defined as SD NTSC (640 X 480), PrEl will only offer me options with similar attributes.
This doesn' seem to be that case ... I can go in and select any menu I choose, even though its wrong for the format I'm using and it looks terrible.
So as long as I develop my menus with favorable pixel dimensions that compliment the display format, I can name it anything I want, as long as the name has the proper syntax.
Interesting.
An aside ... I have gotten so into this I an strongly considering jumping into the Premiere Pro arean and it would appear the menu system there is somewhat similar to what we are discussing here. Yes?
Thanks again -
"open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for..."
I'm doing a project for my Professional Writing course and I
have to use RoboHelp to create an online help document. The
professor provided templates for us to use but when I go to open
the project file I get the following error: "open project was
cancelled or the application was unable to load database
for....(then the directory)"
I know the project file isn't corrupted because the members
of my class are using the same one without issue. I tried
re-downloading the file, I also re-installed the program itself,
still with no luck. I'm using a Trial Version of RoboHelp 6.0 .
The only other suggestions I have seen are that I don't have
edit perms for the system, but it's my personal laptop and I have
full admin privs. I thought at first that the folder was read-only,
but when I opened it up all it displays is the little green box in
the checkbox (which doesn't mean the folder is read-only, it's just
some stupid windows default, it's only read-only if the box is
actually checked). I tried making the entire directory read-only
and then turn it off but still get the same error.
Any suggestions?There's a topic on my site about Opening Projects that
includes the method of deleting the CPD and XPJ files but I didn't
cover that as the project is good for everyone else. Anything is
worth a try at the moment though.
Another thing to try is to rename the course folder, then
create a new folder with the same name plus all sub folders. Then
move the files across. That will ensure the folder properties are
good and not read only. Yes I know what you said but again anything
is worth a try.
Also, in the last post you are saying the directory is not
read-only. I assume the files are all good?
Ref my previous post, is it the case that now you are getting
an error before the original error would have popped up?
Maybe you are looking for
