Premiere Pro Project Save Error

configuration: windows 7 64bit; Adobe Master Collection CS4; Windows Domain 2003; Mandatory roaming profile for student account. Students save work on a network share specific to their username (having full control of said folder).
issue: when opening an existing adobe premiere pro project, they can make changes, render, export etc. but when they click file->save it give an error:
Project Save Error
Could not open the project file with write access. The file may be locked or you may not have permission to write to this location. Select 'Save As' from the File menu to save the project to a new location.
If we do select the save as option, we can save the file to the same directory from which the original project was opened (with a different filename of course). I believe this might be an issue with a temporary / cache location premiere pro is using but I have been unsuccessful in finding any information on the temp locations and how it saves the working files.

In general, PPro is not really designed for a multi-user setup... or for networking
PPro really runs best when the "owner" is the Administrator... which I don't think you can do for students
Maybe someone else will come along with other information (I am just a standalone user) but I've seen a LOT of similar messages, and don't remember any solution other than running as Administrator, with files on a local (not network) computer

Premiere Elements 7 project save error and compatibility error on Win 7

I have installed Premiere Elements 7 on a Win 7 32 bit os HP8000 desktop. When I try to save a project to H: drive on a Novell server, I get a "project save error". You can save fine to the desktop, but not to the H: drive. If you try to open a Premiere Elements 7 file (on the Win 7 machine) that was created on a WinXP machine with the same Premiere Elements 7 program, you get "Projects created with adobe premiere pro and adobe premiere elements are not compatible. Please use the appropriate application to open this project."
Help please. Thanks.

Solved. The problem was to do with the Novell Client. I installed the latest version (Client 2 sp1 ir4 for Win 7) and that solved the problem.
fyi and thanks

Encountering a "Project Save Error"

Hello -
I'm running Adobe's Creative Suite on a MBP with OSX 10.8.2. Since installing CS6, I've encountered the following problem with Adobe Premiere Pro: whenever I attempt to save the project, I get a "project save error" telling me I need to choose "save as" and save the project to another location. I can save another version of the project to any location, including the location where the original file is saved. This is a hassle, since it leads to several versions of a project sitting in one location. Does anyone have a way around this? So far, I've tried fixing disk permissions, uninstalling/reinstalling Premiere Pro, and saving to MacHD instead of my external hard drive, all with no success. I am attaching a screen shot of the error message in hopes that it helps. Thanks for your help,
Steve

Over in the Windows world, running the program as Administrator (NOT the same as using an Admin account) sometimes fixes permission errors... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395

AEGP Plugin Premiere Pro Import: Unknown error

Upon importing my Premiere Pro project into AE, I get the following error:
After Effects: AEGP Plugin Premiere Pro Import: Unknown error. (5027 :: 12)
I'm using PPro 3.1.1 and AE 8.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2. It's a 23.976 project. I've tried copy-pasting the timeline and get the same error. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
Ryan

And if you are working on two macs, when working from the other mac save that file to your local hard drive, then creative cloud will automatically save that file to creative cloud... when you switch mac you will have the updated file in creative cloud! Open the file and when you have finished, save as to your local hard drive, and creative cloud will then again automatically save it to creative cloud! I think the easiest way to look at the cloud is seeing it as a back up so every file you save to your hard drive will be automatically backed up to creative cloud.

Bringing Premiere Pro project into After Effects

I tried importing Premiere Pro projects to After Effects, but I only got the various files, not the timeline. I just watched a tutorial about Dynamic Link, but when I clicked Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effects composition in Premiere, I got a layer that was all black, with no sound. I have CS3 Production Premium and Windows XP Media Center SP2.
Right now, I just want to keep what I edited in Premiere, but I get better quality video if I export it to H.264 MOV in After Effects than anything I've found in Premiere. I can't understand why that's so, but until I find something just as good in Premiere, I want to save everything in After Effects.

Create a project and a comp. Copy the timeline from Premiere Pro and paste it into the timeline of After Effects.

Importing a Premiere Pro Project file in AE

Hi,
I've just finish editing a long feature with Premiere Pro that I've broken down into 10 project files to allow Premiere not to have the memory crash.
Now I'd like to import in AE the project file to be able to do image stabilization on different shot and sky replacement.
My questions are:
a) If I import the project files, can I make modifications in AE (like color correction, stabilization, sky replacement,...) then save the project so that it can still be opened in Premiere
b) Can I recombined my whole feature into one project in AE or the memory won't handle it as Premiere's memory didn't ?
Thank you.

You can save a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. See
"Export an After Effects project to Adobe Premiere Pro".
Note that there are several other ways of moving data between After Effects and Premiere Pro, including copy & paste and Dynamic Link. See
"Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects".
> Can I recombined my whole feature into one project in AE
> or the memory won't handle it as Premiere's memory didn't ?
The size of the project doesn't tend to be a problem for After Effects. (Frame size, occasionally; image buffer size, occasionally; but not project size.)

Is it possible to export, and include AE compositions used within a Premiere Pro project, via project manager?

I've several Premiere Pro CC 2014 projects I want to relocate via project manager (one at a time). They're excessive in size (many long and unused footage files), so "Create New Trimmed Project" is the setting-option, within project manager, most attractive. BTW I love how project manager does this... However, when I check on its new location, I don't see any linked AfterEffects files. Fine, I try the other setting "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". This option allows me to now copy everything including rendered scenes featuring my AE compositions (and a lot of excess, unused files)... but still no AE files!
Is it possible to export a Premiere Pro project, excluding unused files, yet include all used files... especially linked files such as AE compositions?

Though not exactly the solution I seek, I've tried an alternative approach... it works (if anyone's interested)... but my original question still stands.
Alternative approach (and probably the only option now):
When I copy & trim my Premiere Pro project via project manager to its new location, I can open the new file and see the track editor now includes broken links to AfterEffects compositions. Since I don't wish to relink these to the current .AEP file, I may package** the original AE project to a location near my newly-located Premiere Pro project folder. To do this, I open the original .AEP file containing any compositions linked to my original Premiere Pro project, and use File < Dependencies < Collect Files. This feature copies all files (and a new .AEP copy) from this AE project to my newly selected destination (as long as no files are missing).
So at this point, when I open my newly-located PP project, I can relink the broken AfterEffects composition links in PP to the new .AEP file. Yay!
**package (for those unaware) is the term used within Adobe InDesign. This feature gathers all linked files that makeup the overall design and layout, and copies into a new folder.

What is the most efficient way to use Remove Grain from After Effects on large Premiere Pro project?

I've tried to use Dynamic Linking both ways but it doesn't the effects don't appear no matter how dramatic I make them. Why couldn't there just be Remove Grain in Premiere Pro so I wouldn't have to go through the headache of figuring this out. I've tried importing the Premiere Pro project into After effects where everything comes up and, since there's so many files, it doesn't seam feasibly or convenient at all. Trying Dynamic Link vice versa didn't lend results either. What can I do??? Projects range from about a half hour to an hour and a half. Thank you.

The situations are well lit; it might be lack of knowledge on the camera settings itself.
Sort that and your workflow issue dissapears instantly.
There's nothing more efficient?
Yep...read above... but ...any Plugin. eg Neat Video... will take long processing time.
Fixing grain..actually "noise"...is always an image degrading process as well. It blurs!

Keyframes in Speedgrade with a Premiere Pro project

I'm using Speedgrade to grade clips in a Premiere Pro project. I'm trying to adjust a primary layer grade across a clip using different keyframes. It is not working: when I set up a second keyframe, I try to make adjustments to the offset, gamma, and gain in the second keyframe and, while the sliders slide, I'm not seeing any results in either the clip or the scopes.
It's working fine when I create a Speedgrade project. But it's not working with an imported Premiere Pro project.
I can't find any indication of a bug related to this. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've submitted the bug report.
Here's a bit more information about my environment:
MacOS 10.10.1.
Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012)
2.7 GHz Intel Core I7
16 GM memory
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I have some 3rd party plugins installed in Premiere, but none used in the test case. And in fact I can reproduce the problem with a fresh project by following these steps:
1. Create a new project in Premiere.
2. Import a video file. (The video file is one that I recorded with my Canon 5D mk iii, but the original problem was using files gotten from a GoPro, so that detail doesn't seem to matter.)
3. Create a new sequence.
4. Take a 3 second clip from the video file and put it in the sequence.
5. Take a different 2 second clip from the video file and add it to the sequence.
6. Use the File/Direct Link to Speedgrade menu option to load the sequence in Speedgrade.
7. In Speedgrade, select the first clip. Make changes to the Offset and Gain brightness sliders for that clip.
8. Select the second clip. Position the cursor over the first clip and hit "c" to copy the grade changes from the first clip to the second.
9. Position the read head about midway through the second clip.
10. Hit the diamond to add a keyframe.
11. Make changes to the offset and gain brightness sliders at that keyframe.
12. Hit the keyframe left arrow to move to the initial keyframe in the clip.
13. Notice that the brightness changes made on the original keyframe show in this keyframe. This is unexpected behavior.
14. Attempt to make changes to the offset and gain brightness sliders at this keyframe. The sliders slide, but there are no changes to the clip itself. If you bring up the scopes at this point, making changes to the sliders don't change the scope values either.

Converting AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.

I have found the way to convert AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.
I use the following line of code:
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Adobe Premiere Pro Project ..."));
It works. But unfortunately it opens the SaveFileDialog window for the file name to be assigned.
I'd love not to see this window. I'd love to assign the file name programmatically. It would be great!
Is there any way to prevent the dialog window from opening?
Thank you.

Depends if you are on the cloud or not or the new 12.0 version. One way to do it is to import your AE footage into PP as pending on your puter....
Important to tell your version and OS when posting. What seems clear at your end is being asked from someone who has not seen your challenge.

Premiere pro project suddenly degraded

My 50-minute Premiere Pro project suddenly degraded between work sessions. It contains mixed footage - mov files the smallest and the sequence settings match that - and dv footage.
It looked perfect, but when it was opened to resume work on another day them image quality had degraded badly. When rendered It plays ok but is degraded in pause. Color correction is now impossible.
I hope you can help.

For starters, you can't perform a proper color correction using the built in monitors. They are not designed to show you an accurate image, as you're now discovering. You MUST get the signal off the computer and onto a properly calibrated TV. This will ensure you're seeing the signal accurately, which is the first step in color correction. Trying to remove too much red that was put there by an inaccurate display is an exercise in futility.
Having said that, click the wrench under the Program Monitor and make sure Playback Resolution is set to full.

Importing Premiere Pro project into After Effects ???

When I import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, it splits every shot onto a new track, ending up with a couple of hundred tracks at the end.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Particularly, since I'd want to keep the option of bringing the project file back in Premiere for further editing.
My colorist suggested that I nest reels of my timeline and split it that way so that when he imports it he has nests on one timeline and the multiple tracks in each of those nests. Still, this feel very clunky.

An editor at work was using our Avid to do a grade on a short promo and I
wanted to see what I could do in After Effects. So when he was out of the
office I exported the timeline as an AAF and copied the OMFI media. When I
brought the project into After Effects I ended up with a massive number of
layers and freaked at first at the idea of doing anything with it.
However I thought about it again and decided to precompose all the layers,
as this gave me just one layer to work with. I then added a couple of
Adjustment Layers above it; one with a Levels effect added and the other
with HSL. I also added Masks to the Adjustment Layers so I could vignette
any effect.
The key to working like this was to use Hold Keyframes at the beginning of
each new shot for each effect, Mask Shape and Feather. I could then adjust
that shot, scrub to the next shot add new Hold Keyframes adjust that shot
and so on. When I wanted to repeat any effect settings on a shot, I just cut
and pasted the relevant keyframes. Mixes across shots can be tricky but you
can always go back to work with the original shots on their separate layers
if you need to.
I ended up with a quick grade that stood up nicely against the one done on
the Avid and I only had work with 3 layers on my timeline!

After Effects export as Premiere Pro project weird PAL/NTSC problem

This post is not a question. It's here, because I've found a solution and want to share with You.
I've noticed a strange problem during export from AE to PR.
Ok, here I go.
AE = After Effects CS3
PR = Premiere Pro CS3
My AE project is D1/DV PAL Widescreen. It is a sequence of slideshow with some video effects applied. I needed that sequence in PR. I was happy to find a new feature - export as premiere pro project (new for me - i am pretty rookie ;). Thaks to this feature I have saved most of my disk space that is always to low. But, like every first try, this one was not perfect too. I had two problems.
Problem no 1.
I opened exported project in PR and saw message like "video effect AE.CC COMPOSITE not present".
Whole composition was working perfectly except that one video effect that was fundamental for this project.
*Solution was as easy as it can be. I've just copied that effect from AE plugin folder to PR plugin folder. It worked for this.
Problem no 2
Like says AE Help "When you export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the settings from the first composition in the After Effects project for all subsequent sequences."
Project settings in PR was exactly D1/DV PAL Widescreen. So where is the problem You ask?
Therefore why my Timeline works in NTSC 29,97 frame rate if all settings match PAL 25 frame rate?! I don't know.
*Solution to fix this annoying bug is to create a new project in PR with all settings for D1/DV PAL Widescreen in this case. Than just import that PR project exported from AE. Now timeline works like it should in PAL frame rate.
That's it.
I hope this post is helpful, because I didn't find any answer for this here in Adobe forum.

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!
