Premiere pro not opening xml files

Hi Everyone,
We are transitioning from Final Cut Pro 7 into Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I have exported all my FCP projects as XML Files. I saved the XML files to an external harddrive that I am using to import files into PP on a PC. When I imported the XML files into PP, I was not able to access any files at all in the project. After looking online for answers, it occurred to me that I would need to backup all the source files along with the XML files.
I am in the process of identifying those source files and copying them to the external harddrive that i will be using to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro. The previous videographer did a shoddy job of organizing files, and I am noticing that some projects and their related scratch disks are often in different locations (different Harddrives, some on the original Mac harddrive).  In an effort to keep to make our transition to Premiere Pro as painless as possible, I am backing up all NLE related files (render files, capture scratches, source media files, etc) onto one Harddrive. Is this all necessary?
Is there any blog or article online that i can reference on how to transition from FCP7 to Premiere Pro that addresses source material that is spread out on many storage devices?

Not really, Just know that in FCP, you can move media to a single location using the Media Manager. Once media is moved, a FCP XML file will point to that that drive when opened in Premiere Pro.
Hope that helps,

  • Premiere Pro Not Accepting .PRPROJ File Extension

    Hi,
    Have just purchased the official Adobe tutorial book "Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Classroom in a Book" to learn the fundamentals of the programme and being a "newbie" have encountered numerous problems.
    The most frustrating is when I go to open the lesson files with a .prproj file extension in PP it comes up error message "file format not supported"
    This seems odd though as the the lesson file names appear in the project panel but are not openable files.
    Given that this is an Adobe inhouse file extension being opened by Adobe software am really frustrated that it's this difficult.
    Have aready defaulted the ,prproj file on my PC to open with PP Cs3 which I thought would cure it, but no go!! Any help would be most appreciated.

    The message appears after I click on "open project" and then click on the file within the "select file dialogue box".
    But something is amiss here, after ejecting the dvd, I opened premiere and then open project (from the "lessons" folders on my h/drive now) and the file I was having problems with is not showing.
    All the "Lesson" folders are there but some of the files that were showing when the dvd was present are not there! The one in particular that I was trying to work on was 4-2 which was in the lesson 04 folder.
    What I will try and do is open the "lesson" folders on the dvd and transfer the files within seperately as opposed to transferring the unopened folder as before.
    Thanks for your time so far ,will come back tomorrow.

  • Premiere Pro Not Opening

    Right so a while back, my computer experienced some sort of malfunction in which I had to wipe my main SSD on which the system was on. I had (legally) Adobe Master Suite CS6 on my other hard drive that was dedicated for software and what not. This particular drive I did not wipe, only the SSD with the system. It all worked out mostly fine (the computer restoration), except when I went ahead and plugged my hard drive with all the software on it back in, most of the adobe software no longer worked (Premiere Pro of which the most important of the bunch to me included). I tried dosome tweaks, but nothing seems to work. All I get now is a screen that says "sign in required" (even though this is not a trial) and after that "licensing stopped". What should I do?

  • Premiere Pro not accepting MOV files

    I'm running Premiere Pro CC for the first time today since the most recent update and am finding that it won't let me import MOV files. When I try to drag them in PP tells me that file type is not supported. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it?

    Good point.
    Running PP CC 7.1 (looks like there's an update for 7.2 but CC says I'm up to date)
    Running Windows 7
    Trying to load H.264 MOV
    The error says that file type is not supported
    This is the first time this has happened
    Attached is a photo of what file types PP says I can import.

  • Acrobat Pro not opening PDF files when I double click on them- It only works if I bring up the program-.

    I've installed a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. It will open the file if I hit control->open with->Acrobat Pro Luis: but if I double click on the document it only brings up the Acrobat XI Pro window with the "Open a Recent File", I've changed the "Open With" option on "Get Info" and still can't open the PDF files with a double click. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! LAGA

    When I double click the file after Acrobat is opened nothing happens...
    The PDF file only opens if I start the acrobat program then look for the PDF file or any PDF Files and then I am able to open them.

  • Macbook pro not opening pdf files

    I am a student and teachers send files on a website and every time I try to open them, they download and then a bunch of jumbled letters appear. No one else in my class has this problem and I need the notes for tomorrow, what do I do?

    Do you have this problem with all PDF's, or only some? If only some, can you link to an example?

  • Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

    Hi,
    I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
    I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
    So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
    I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
    So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
    Cheers

    Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly
    That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.
    Please file a bug report.

  • Why does Firefox 4 not open video files (news and youtube) at all, but Firefox 3 and MSIE 8 open these video files quickly, all on my Dell Dimension 8250 desktop with MS Windows XL Pro?

    I subscribe to an Earthlink package of telephone and ISP through DSL in Dallas, Texas. To avoid the congestion (time outs and files not found) of the virtual "cloud" servers, as a workaround I connect to the Internet through dial-up on each session on my pc. There is only one pc or computer on my local network. I downloaded Firefox 4 RC and it failed (would not open video files on the Internet), so I removed the Firefox 4 RC program from my pc, and then I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16, which works fine.
    My operating system is Windows XP Pro.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
    (Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

    Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
    You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
    A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
    Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
    As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
    Hope this helps.

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

  • Premiere Element 13 The progress bar on the lower right for Indexing has frozen and when asking to open a video file in the organizer, Premiere does not open.

    The above says it all.

    I can't really answer you first question. What has happened is: when I moved an mpg file from my assets to the movie (I have added already a mpg file in the first part of the movie) a message box appears telling me the file is being "indexed" and then this Indexing progress appears in lower right of screen and it processes up to 99% and then freezes. The file appears in the time line, but the frame appears that says "media pending" and then nothing happens. I can go into the Widows media player and the mpg file plays okay, with audio. That is best I can tell you.
    Though I did not say this earlier, when I try to open this mpg file from the Organizer, Premiere does not open.
    My operating system is Windows 7 on a Dell computer with lots of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Properties of movie file
    These properties are the same as a file I already inserted in the timeline.
    I look forward to your help and thanks..

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Open XML file with user default browser and not the default editor.

    Hi,
    I'm writing a java program that appends numerous XML files together. The result is a NEW well formed XML document. Since i have an XSLT that performs several UI modifications on this xml file, the file extension must remain '.xml'. I need to open this xml file with the users default web browser. The problem is that:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    ....opens the xml file with the users default program for opening xml files which in my case is Oxygen. I want to force java to open this xml file with the users default web browser and nothing else.
    I guess i need the Windows command to perform the 'open with' feature but i have no idea what that command is or how to find it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Varun Singh

    People do not often ask questions (or make challenges or observations) idly for the sake of 'theory'. It is most useful to explain to the best of your ability.
    As to
    "Since the Desktop class was only released with SE 6 I am forced to find another alternative. "
    There is an 'alternative'. You can import it into a 1.5 project. It was available as a free standing API before 1.6 - through JDIC. See [https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html|https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html] for more info.
