Premiere 6.5 won't open a project it created.

When trying to open a Premiere 6.5 project, I get the error message "File was created with newer version of Premiere" and it will not open my project. I have other projects with the same extension, created with 6.5, located on the same external HD that it will open. I created this project on this computer and have worked on it for about 3 days; now last night, it gives me this message. I also have Premiere Pro 1.0 and it won't open it either.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
David K.

Some thoughts:
1.) Find someone with an even newer version of PrPro, say 2.0, and see if they can open the project.
2.) Try running your .PROJ file through XML Wrench, to see if there are some problems with the XML header info. Note: you'll have to drag this file, or use the All Files drop-down, as XML Wrench will not recognize it, due to the file extension.
If you are not in a hurry, as I am leaving town soon, I'll be glad to try to open the Project in PrPro 2.0 and see if it works for me. Obviously, all media will appear as offline, but if I can open it, that would indicate that the Project is intact, though would possibly not help you, as I could not turn around and do a Save_As for Pr 6.5. I've opened many Pr 6.5 files in PrPro, and they have worked almost 100%. This has been both PC and also Mac files.
3.) Do not know when Adobe added the Import Project feature in Pr. If Pr 6.5 allows this, create a new Project with the correct Presets. Choose Import Project and navigate to your PROJ file. This has saved the bacon in many instances. Just do not know when this was added.
4.) Check for AutoSave files in your Scratch Disks setup for this Project and see if they work better.
Good luck,

Captivate 5.5 won't open .cptx projects I created in Captivate 6

I created several tutorials using Captivate 6, mostly demos. They looked fine in preview (using F8, F10 and F12), but when they were posted on the web (which is done through our IT department), two of the demo tutorials included images from one slide that bled into another slide. This occurs on several different slides, scattered throughout the project. This definitely did not happen in the previews.
After reading some comments on the Captivate discussion board, I decided to go back to using Captivate 5.5. So I uninstalled 6 and reinstalled 5.5. But now when I try to open any of the tutorials I created in 6, I get an error message (Captivate could not open the file xxx.cptx. Ensure that: - The file is not already open, - The file is not damaged - The hard disk has sufficient space - The system has suffcient resources). The file was not open, the file is not damaged (I worked with it in version 6 yesterday), and both the disk and system have sufficient space.
How can I get the files I created in 6 to open in 5.5?

Uninstalling the app would not have been necessary. You can quite happily have more than one version of Captivate on the same PC. (I have every version from 3 through to 6 currently running on my 64bit DELL laptop).
Going back to your original question though: You mention that the files were uploaded to your web server by your IT department. Did you check with them whether they uploaded just the SWF files, or whether they uploaded the HTM and JS files as well that Captivate publishes? This may be significant, because those HTM and JS files are critical for the proper display of Captivate content, but I've seen other cases where the web dudes ditch them and just set up the SWF file on its own, with results similar to what you're experiencing.

I have a 27 inch iMac with maverick os. my current version of iMovie (10.0.6) will not open older projects i created in iMovie 9.0.9. I can find the projects and they have a ".rcproject" file extension

I have a 27 inch iMac with maverick os. my current version of iMovie (10.0.6) will not open older projects i created in iMovie 9.0.9. I can find the projects and they have a ".rcproject" file extension

Thank you GeeD. I'm still stymied.
I have moved the Event and Project Folders to the "top-layer of the drive" as the instructions state, right alongside the System Folder, Users Folder and Applications Folders.
When I open iMovie 10.0.8, the Events and Projects Folders are empty:
When I select File/Update Projects and Events, I get an alert box that says iMovie couldn't find any:
Not knowing exactly what is meant by the "top layer" in the instructions, I moved the Events and Project folders back inside the "Movies" folder where I found them (but then not where I would call the "top" layer, but rather "iMac/Users/Home/Movies/iMovieProjects". Then I tried to "Update Projects and Events" and received the same alert: "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update."
Then I tried to update iMovie 9.0 (iMovie '11 version 9.0 (1073)) to version 9.0.9 .
[As an aside, the nomenclature of iMovie drives me nuts. The latest version is 10.0.8, which us newer than iMovie '11.]
Back to the update of version 9.0 to 9.0.9.
Presumably because I have version 10.0.8 installed, I got this alert box:
So, I cannot update version 9.0
and I cannot "Update" the Events and Projects created in version 9.0.

IPhoto won't open. Modified and created dates say 12/31/69

iPhoto won't open. Modified and created dates say 12/31/69. Help! OS is Tiger. Older G4 Powerbook.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. Can you? If you can then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Premiere CS6 won't open my project, gives error message.

Premiere CS6 is saying "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type." The project is all .SWF files and it was working just fine. It all of a sudden started this. How do I fix this?

Here is the solution. It appears this a Creative Cloud Issue. Very simple fix:
Solution 1: Deactivate, and then reactivate Adobe Premiere Pro
     Launch Adobe Premiere Pro by clicking the application icon. Do not attempt to load a project file.
     Choose New Project, then create a project. The settings you choose in this step are not important. Launch Adobe Premiere Pro so that the Help menu is available.
     Choose Help > Deactivate. Then on the Deactivate, screen click the Deactivate button.
     Launch Adobe Premiere Pro as you did in Step 1.
     On the Sign In Required screen, click the Sign in button.
     If prompted, sign in with your Adobe ID. The full list of sequence presets is reinitialized.
     Open the project the generated the error to ensure that it opens correctly. If you are still unable to open your project, contact Adobe Technical Support.
To the top
Solution 2: Re-create the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and plug-in cache
     Get ready to press the Alt (Option) + Shift keys simultaneously.
     Launch Adobe Premiere Pro by clicking the application icon, and immediately press and hold the Alt (Option) + Shift keys.
     Continue to hold the Alt (Option) + Shift keys down until you see the Welcome Screen. Note: If the preferences have been reset successfully, the Recent Projects area of the welcome screen will be blank.

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.

Premiere Elements 11 won't open

Installed Premiere Elements 11 but it won't open. Have uninstalled and reinstalled but still no luck.

First, thank you for that information.
Now, you say:
I ran the Update Driver and it said it is up to date. I installed it on another computer that is older and it works ok...still won;t open on mine
I would first go to the Intel Web site, and manually check for a more recent update. 2011 is a very long time ago. I find that the OS's driver update utility, or any driver utility, will likely be very out of date. For most programs, that does not usually matter much, but PrE really needs to interface VERY critically with that video driver.
If you have a Dell, Lenovo, HP, or other major mfgr's. computer, I would also check their Web site, as some of those companies will rewrap the video drivers for their specific version of the hardware and their specific version of the OS.
As for PrE running on one computer, but not the other, I would look closely to see if those two computers have the exact same video card, and video driver. If they do, then I would check to see if they each have the exact same Windows updates and hot-fixes applied. Even simple OS updates CAN render the video driver obsolete. That is why the major video chip companies update their drivers so very often. Intel, while making good chips, has not been nearly as good with driver support, as nVidia, or AMD/ATI. As mentioned above, the video driver is not so important for general computing (Intel's target), but programs, such as PrE, extreme games, or 3D work, require much more from the video driver - other programs will usually still run pretty well, but not programs, like PrE.
Good luck, and hope that Intel has a newer driver for you, that solves your issue.

not sure if i understood that... but this problem exists only with Premiere and not with any other application of CS5 Master collection!

Premiere Pro CC crashes in opening a project file

I am using Premiere Pro CC since 1.5 years now. No big problems so far but now suddenly a strange one in opening a project file.
Several other project files open up as usual, but the last one I've been working on, suddenly crashes in the middle of loading the media files. An error message like this appears:
"Premiere Pro has encountered an error. [c:\ppro772\releases\2013.10\shared\adobe\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\inc\ " (and the rest of the path I'm not able to see, it's cut.)
I have installed the latest version of the graphics driver today. I have installed Premiere Pro 2014 some time ago but didn't really use it yet. I already tried to open the project in 2014 with no success.
Now I just found out that I can open the project from the one-before-the-last autosave file! Thereafter I saved the project with a different name, but trying to re-open it resulted again in the same error!!
Any idea what the problem could be and what might help?

BUt that's a different error.
I am getting this one aswell.
[c:\ppro772\releases\2013.10\shared\adobe\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\inc
Please fix it.
I really want my Premiere Pro to work :\

Premiere Elements 8 can't open any project

Hello,
I am running Premiere Elements 8 (fully-paid version) and trying to open a project which I created last night. But I'm finding I can't open any project. On the welcome screen, when I click on "Open Project", I get a pull-down menu (as expected):
But no matter what option I select (even "Open..."), I get the same result: The "Open Project" button turns into a wait-bar for a minute or two:
...and then "Open Project" simply reappears without anything else happening.
I also tried a different approach, going to the .prel file in Windows and double-clicking it. But again, nothing happened.
My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium. The hardware is a 64-bit, HP p6310y with an AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor, 2.8 GHz, with 6 GB of RAM.
Any suggestions?

My premiere pro cc won't open

Hello,
I have the creative cloud suite and am trying to open premiere pro but it won't open. I've used it in the past on this same computer. What gives?

Hi Alex,
I'll Show you that there are some sources of error:
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

Premiere Pro CC won't load my project

However I am able to load the project on another computer running Premiere Pro CC. At my home computer the program launches, and I select the project I want, but the assets and sequences don't load into the Premiere windows. However if I open another project (that I have only worked on using my home computer) I have no problems loading the project.

Hi, I am having this exact issue. In my case, both versions of PPro are exactly the same, base version installed from Creative Cloud client with no plugins used.
Project opens with no issues on one pc and wont open on the pc it was originally created on. It does not crash or say 'not responding' but assets and sequences wont load
as Kristine describes. I have tried creating a new project and importing the old one; the assets appear but the program seems to freeze up as I cant interact with anything and
hear the windows ping noise with every click. The project is very simple; a low bitrate .mp4 video with .mp3 and .wav sound effects added.

FCP won't open certain projects

When I attempt to open certain projects FCP won't open. It starts up then before it opens it shuts down. I'm able to open and work in other projects and sequences.
When I was able to open and work on this particular sequence it seems to shut down when I edited, moved or rendered a still image (jpeg and pdf). I'm wondering if these are corrupt and if so how do I "uncorrupt" them.
I've already trashed preferences a number of times.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
b

Well thank you all for your help - but as many of you guessed, it was a PEBKAC issue - namely me!
I was so sure that the versions of FCP were the same, I neglected to look at the 2 relevant "about" pages. Although both FCP's came from the same disk, the one on the lap-top had up-graded itself. Once I upgraded the desk-top to match, everything was rosy.
Once again, many thanks.
I retire, red-faced!
