Priemere Pro CS4 will not save , project file is very large

I have a recent project (music videos) that was started in CS4 and upgraded to CS5. ( OS = Windows 7 x64) Things were great but then I hit a wall, at about 8 sequences it would take 1/2 an hour to save. I split up the project by making copies of the project file, renaming it and then deleting selected sequences from various copies of the project thus limiting it to 4 or 5 sequences per copy. This seemed to help for a few saves but it got worse. Now I can no longer save any copy of the project using "Save", "Save As" or "Save Copy As". I deleted the preferences file as explained in another thread but it didn't help. I deleted my renderd files but it didn't help. The entire project has become unworkable and useless. I cannot remove sequences from the work area, I cannot save changes. Attempting either locks up Priemere. Also, as the problem got worse the size of the project file doubled even though the project had become smaller.
I have other projects started in CS4 and upgraded to CS5 but not opened and saved anywhere near as much as this one and not saved as many times at it took this one to fail. I have no projects created in CS5 that have been used enough to see if this behaviour presists.
Does anyone have any clue how to save this project?
Thanx,
Mel

Mel,
If you have not done so yet, take a look at this THREAD.
Hope that helps and good luck,

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

i have had this problem before and had to take my computer to the apl store were someone at the genius bar fixed it by deleting some preferences thing i do not remember how who did it or how he got to that file and need help to fix this problem

Try Finder>Library>Preferences>Microsoft>com.microsoft.word.prefs.plist, and delete that last one.
I don't know that it will solve your problem, but I'm pretty sure that's what the guy did before. Good luck!

Running CS5 on a Macbook Pro. Will not read raw files for a new Canon T5i camera.Can update the current RAW?

Running CS5 on a Madbook Pro. Will not open RAW image files from a new Canon TRi camera. Can I update to latest RAW processor with current CS5, or must I update to CS6 on the MacBook?
Jack

ACR 7.4 is the one that will read T5i raw files and it is CS6 specific. You can upgrade for $200 Standard or $400 Extended in you need 3D support.
You can also see if converting your T5i files to .dng format will do just as well.

Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
Thanks
Wolfgang

I think is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
"My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

Premiere CS4 will not load project

Hi! I've been looking around the forums for an answer to my problem, but so far I haven't found one. Here's my problem:
I've been working on a Premiere project for a couple weeks now, and I've constantly been having problems. It crashes often, and sometimes does not respond. This I do not mind, I just save whenever I do something.
Yesterday night, I tried to open my project. I opened it, and the little box popped up that said, "Load Project...". The loading bar went all the way to the end and then froze. In the bottom left corner, it had said that all media was loaded. I pressed cancel and then Premiere froze. I then exited Premeire and tried to reopen, but the same thing happened. I had read on one post to try to turning off your computer and then turning it back on. So, I went to bed.
Today, the project was working perfectly until now. This time, the loading bar only loaded about 75%, even though at the bottom it said that all media was loaded. I re-started my computer, but it didn't help. I pressed shift, but it didn't help. And the last time an auto-save file was created was yesterday, and I have made a lot of progress since then. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Frozen!
I have 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP computer with and Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8400 2.66 GHz. The RAM is 6 GB. I don't know if this information will help you, but just in case.

I spent the day researching why my PrPro CS4 project hangs at about 80% loaded all of a sudden. Bill was right on in his suggestion to search for a corrupt or bad asset. His technique to solve the problem did not work at all though. Going back to a perviously auto-saved version of the project does not help much unless the project file itself is the bad asset. The project once saved under a new name still won't load in my experience. Also, if you try to export some part of the assets within the project, Adobe Media Encoder CS4 will fail to encode as well (another symptom of the bad asset hiding in your project workplace and sequence time-lines.
In my case, it turned out to be an avi movie asset that I changed from "avi movie with audio" to "avi movie without audio" outside of adobe premiere (using after effects cs4 in my case). So now the project thought there should be audio, but the audio was now removed.
To find the bad asset was pretty easy: First go back to a project version that you can load, then click on each asset in the project workspace area and try to copy the asset using the menu: edit -> copy.
If the asset is bad, a goofy error message will pop up including a source code file name [this has to be yet another bug in premiere to crash like this].
If the asset is good, the copy will report no error, so move on to the next asset, repeat until you find one or all bad assets.
To solve the bad asset load problem,re-import the asset under a new name. Go to your sequence, right mouse click on the asset in the time line, use the "replace with clip -> bin" command. Last step, select the new replacement asset from your bin.

Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here. I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC. I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take. I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window. My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work? I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end. I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere. Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA. I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade? Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference. Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere. However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well.
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are my system details:
OSX 10.9.3
new Mac Pro
3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
64 GB RAM
Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
Thanks!

Elements not always opening and sometimes will not save a file

I am fairly new to Photoshop having only previously owned PSE 10. When i upgraded to 11, i was seriously impressed but now i have the most annoying problem. Usually i can open a raw file sucessfully the first time and edit/process it with no problems but if i then try to open a second one, nothing happens. If i open elements first and then open the file it will work but then, when it comes time to save the file, nothing happens. there are no error messages, nothing freezes, nothingn happens at all!
The only thing that i can think of is that i did a silly thing! When i was looking in the folder with all my files, i saw the new .xmp file that is added after processing a raw file. For some unknown reason, i thought that it would be a good idea to change the "opens with" setting for it. I now do not know how to remove this setting or what to change it back to. At the moment it is set to notepad. I am not sure if this is relevant as i can usually open the first photo successfully and everything works. It does, however, require a complete restart if i want to work on another picture.

You can't do that with any email app. It's an email, not a document in a text editor or word processor.
To save it as a separate document, click anywhere in the body of the email and press Command+C to copy it. Paste it into a blank Word document and save it.

You can check to see what version of Camera Raw will support your camera here:

You can verify which version of Camera Raw goes with the version of the Adobe application you have here:

For other questions, see here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
If you find that a version of Camera Raw later than the one you have is required and is supported by your version of Photoshop, usually you can just choose Help - Updates in Photoshop and have the latest Camera Raw release be installed, though if that fails there are downloads available from Adobe that will allow you to install Camera Raw manually.

Scanner not available, OR scan will not save to file

Hello, HP M1212nf, using HP Director/HP Scan 1.1, on an iMac running OS 10.6.8.
On the control panel, the Ready light is on, the Attention light is off, and the Toner light is blinking.
I try to scan a document, but get "the scanner is not available" message. USB connections are good...
Occasionally, it does scan successfully. But then when I try to save it as a file, all steps work beautifully -- PDF/JPEG/etc, name file, choose destination -- but the supposedly saved file is nowhere to be found. (Spotlight doesn't see it, and it's certainly not in the destination I chose.)
What's going on, and how do I fix it?!
Thanks in advance for help!

I have enough potatoes and carrots, thanks... ;-)
Thanks ever so much for your perseverance in helping me with this!!!

The config pages print beautifully, although the toner light (yellow) is flashing.
> When you get this error message, are you still able to print?
> Is there any lights flashing on the printer before trying to scan?
The scanning problems (not being able to save to file, and sometimes, “scanner not available”) are not affecting printing. The print function works beautifully, even though the machine seems to think its toner level is low (flashing yellow light).

Printer was connected through a power bar. I changed it, straight into wall socket.
I do have another USB cable, have replaced the one I was using with the other one.
Same problem persists: “save as PDF” refuses to work: the file seems to disappear, and Spotlight doesn’t find it anywhere.
The only work-around I have found is to choose “e-mail” instead— this puts the PDF into an e-mail, from where I can move it to where I need it. This solves the problem, sort of, but it’s a tedious long way around.

It’s called Print and Fax on mine.
> 3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel and then click Reset printing system.
> 4. Click OK to confirm the reset.

> 6.   Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected.

OK, all done. Closing SysPrefs and trying again.
Behaviour is largely the same. Two issues:
1- Now and then I get “scanner not available” message. Turning off the printer and quitting HP Director, then turning printer back on and restarting HP Director, usually gets past this “unavailable” issue— it scans successfully. Sometimes it takes more than one off/on quit/restart cycle to banish the “unavailable" message. This is not a faulty cable or connection issue. What the *$%^%# is it?!
2- scanned file won’t save— BUT here’s some progress: if I save under a different name, like “test”, there’s no problem. If I save under the name I want, which for the current page is “Arrival Va 1/2”, it disappears instead of saving. Could my problem be this simple: In the "save as file" dialogue box, I’m not allowed to use a symbol like “/“ as part of the file name?????
If that’s it, I can work around it, just saving the file and changing the name afterward.
I hate to think, after all this hair-pulling (and I don’t have that much to start with), it might be as simple as that!!
But it seems to be: saving as “Arrival Va 1/2” doesn't work, but saving as “Arrival Va 1 2” does.
Even if that’s it, I’d still much appreciate your thoughts on the “not available” messages...
Again, a million and a half thanks!!

Premiere Pro CS4 does not handle AVCHD Files well.

Loaded the master collection of CS4 when it first came out. I had purchased CS4 for the AVCHD file format. I had no problems using Premiere Pro until I ugraded to version 4.0.1 in March of this year then all AVCHD file selections dissappeared. Hence, I could not create new AVCHD projects and the existing projects did not fuction properly. I have been through a series of uninstalls (and deactivations) and reinstalls. Reinstalls did not work. Had to delete by renaming the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\7e74552a59eaf9fafd13f90894ac9bd to get the reinstall to work. I have also used Windows Install Clean Up to remove all Adobe CS4 files that the windows "Add or Rmove Programs" did not remove. When I did get the reinstall to work, Premiere Pro would work for awhile then became slow to the point the project became unusable. Tried the all upgrades again and again the selection of AVCHD files dissappeared. I do not need the AVCHD Intra capability. The last uninstall I just uninstalled Premiere. I could not reinstall Premiere until I uninstalled the entire master collection than the reinstall of just Premiere succeeded. Premiere was totally unusuable.
Has anyone had similiar issues with Premiere Pro and AVCHD files and were you able to resolve the problem? I am considering removing all Adobe products, including past versions and trying the reinstall again, or create another profile and install just the Adobe products, or - the last resort - reformating my hard drive and starting over again. I would like to get Premiere Pro working again properly before reformating.
Previous versions of Adobe have worked with no problems.
