Problem Delivering Project Files to Client

Anytime I back up my project files for this particular DVD it cannot be opened on another computer. I've burned the project file, all media, all menu graphics, and the .txt files for the subtitles on to a DVD. When another computer besides the one the DVD was authored on tries to open the project it gets stuck on "Loading Tracks."
What could this be?
Every so often I am also unable to open the file, and I think its getting corrupted somehow. Please help.
EDIT: I realize I forgot to delete the PAR and MPEG folders that DVD SP creates and also burned those onto the client's DVD. Would this contribute to them not being able to open it?

Thanks for replying Aldershot. I am running OS 10.4.3, DVD SP 4.0.2 with 2.5 GB RAM on a Dual 2.0 G5. The project has been saved on external firewire (with ~15 GB free) as well as a duplicate on the system drive (~85 GB free). None of them open after I save it and quit. During save I get the beach ball, but eventually it comes back to normal and I can use the app as normal.
I have read that there may be an issue with the ObjectDataB file (found within the project package Contents folder). See the link below for a description of this diagnosis.

Here's some more info if you think it will help you diagnose. I got a project file and associated media on a data DVD-R to start with. Moved everything to my External drive and made numerous changes to the project file. Saved a copy with a new file name. There are 2 tracks (one 6 mins, the other 30 mins), and they each have 16 subtitle tracks. This is honestly where I think the problem lies, but I don't understand why DVDSP can't handle that many tracks. I notice it takes longer to save as I progressively import the subtitles.
If I may work with you over e-mail it would be great. Check soon.... Thanks again!

Media Reconnection Issues (search problems); 1 project file, two data sets

Ok, here goes folks!
We have:
Mac Pro, 6tb MaxxDigital RAID
MacBook Pro, 3x 1tb GRAIDs
The data on the Gtechs's is the same as the data on the Maxx tower- the file structure is different.
Whenever the project file is updated on the main MacPro it is moved via USB key to the macbook pro, at which time media needs to be reconnected (to the graids).
Recently the search in a single location feature had not been working in the reconnect dialog- we select the drive (any of the three) and are given the nope tone. This is a huge project- long form doc with 30+ hours of footage. It is killing us having to manually specify each folder in the drive depending on the file. Previously just selecting the root drive would start the search and all would be well.
Here are my questions:
Is there something we can do to restore the reconnect search functionality?
Could we alleviate this by getting a large enough SATA raid and express card adapter to make an exact copy of the main Maxx Raid? Would it be easier to reconnect?
Can anyone offer any workflow tips for our situation?
Generally I am over on the main box doing composites, graphics, spit and polish, etc, while the Director is on the MBP roughing segments. Soon we will be moving to me doing spit and polish on the MBP and color grading on the main box.
I hope there is enough information here for anyone with advice to offer, please dont hesitate to ask for more info if needed. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing what you guys think.

After Effects CS 11.0.4.2: Problem loading project file (error loading plugins etc.)

Hello Adobe community,
after creating a new project a few days ago, my After Effects CS6 v.11.0.4 has a problem with opening the project. Only this project can't open (everything else opens).
I atteched some pictures to explain my problem better.
I created a video in AE and used the warp stabilization. Ater 2 days i wanted to work on the project. If i open it up it loads and brings up a problem window. (see picture 1)
It says "After Effects Problem: After Effects crashed while opening the Effect-Plugin 'warp stabilization'".
By clicking "Ok", another problem window opens up. (see picture 2)
It says "After Effects Problem: After Effects crashed while opening the Effect-Plugin 'auto color'".
If i click "Ok", the next window comes up. (see picture 3)
It says "Cash at Processing. Latest protocolled Notification: <6796> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context"
After clicking OK again, it says i can save a copy of the project. (picture 4)
This pops up after saving. (picture 5)
After that AE cloeses.
If i open up the new projectfile, it brings up this problem. (see picture 6)
---> "After Effects Problem: Missing Data in file"
But sometimes it says "No valid file-type"
What can i do? Every other project with warp stabilization opens up.
Does this mean i have to start from the beginning?
Is this problem known by anyone of the community?
You can see the files by following the link and unzipping it: Dropbox - autobot_drive.zip
Please help me!

Can you import that problematic project into a brand new one?
If you enable caps lock before opening the problematic project, does it open?

Problem delivering XLS File

Hi
In my application, i have a module that has to deliver a XLS file, that was previously uploaded.
This is the code i am using for it:
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
try {
String filePath = "thePhisicalPathToTheXLSFile.xls"
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filePath);
bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(outputStream);
byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
int bytesRead;
// Simple read/write loop.
while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read(buff, 0, buff.length))) {
bos.write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (outputStream != null);
outputStream.close();
if (bis != null)
bis.close();
if (bos != null)
bos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
//ignore
The file is delivered, but something happens in the process that makes the file unable to be read; excel always shows me a warning that the file is damaged and cannot be read
What can be happening ???
Thanks

is the downloaded file size the same as the original? have you tried opening the downloaded file with a text editor?

I need help to deliver the finished project to our client.

I can't deliver the finish project to our client and could use some help. Here is the problem:
I edited a 30 minute show with Premiere 1.5 (and Aspect 3.4, 1440 X 1080P) with many blue and green screen keying effects. Whenever I try to export to DVD in high resolution out put I get a memory error half way through the rendering. As a result I have had to export using the low resolution option which looks awful.
Finally, after having tried to add memory sticks (I now have 4 giga) and reinstalling Premiere on a new drive and even turning off the double monitor system I still get the memory error. My gut feeling is that this is due to the fact I shot the show in 25P and Premiere has problems converting 25P to regular Pal.
Anyways, finally to solve the problem, I installed Premiere CS3 and Aspect 5.4 and tried opening the project. Here I ran into two problems: (1) The green screen keying effect is not recognized by CS3 (as only Premiere 1.5 does both blue and green screen Keying) and (2) there is no direct way to export to DVD.
So I have a client who wants the finished product in quality resolution on a DVD, and I can't provide it. This is really annoying.
If anybody can help me out on how to get the show out on DVD with a 2 pass high quality export it would be very helpful. Thank you.

1. If you insist on keying in Pr; use the color or chroma key. If you want a quality product use a compositor like AE to do your keying.
2. Export to Encore

I found them very helpful and used them to add items to existing Applications and Projects.
I have duplicated these problems on two different Windows XP systems. Neither JDeveloper 10.1.2 or 9.0.5 builds have exhibited these problems.

Hi Shay,
This dynamic project source feature is going to kill us! We have more than 15,000 files in our projects. Currently, part of them are managed by JDeveloper. Developers have option to load only the files they are working on. If all files in the project source will be loaded automatically, that will definitely be a nightmare to us. The JDeveloper will be frozen from time to time when it start to looking for new files...
Think about why people pick Oracle instead of SQL Server - Oracle is good in handling large data. We, JDeveloper users, sincerely hope JDeveloper team can design/test the JDeveloper on large scaled project before formally release it.
Thanks for your hard work though.

Problem with Premiere Pro CS5 project files bloating

Has anyone had the same problem that we're experiencing? - we have Production Premium CS5 installed on a machine with Win 7 Pro x64. We have three separate edits all of which are experiencing bloating of the .prproj project file. Often this bloating seems to occur when no importing of assets has occured, just changes in the edits. A project which started at 5mb has bloated to 1.5GB and we can no longer save it. Another project has bloated to 200mb and continues to grow in size. We have not brought in any weird assets, although we are using hi-def footage.
We upgrade from CS3 and never had this problem using Premiere CS3.
We can't fix the problem by 'remove unused footage' as this doesn't reduce the project size, although it does remove the unused footage.
We can't fix it by importing the project into a new clean project as the problem and huge file size just comes with
We can't fix it by using the project manager to collect up the project as it requires to save before collecting and the problem files can't be saved.
A couple of points to note - these projects were originally on Premiere CS3 and were upgraded to CS5. The footage is either Sony EX3 or Canon 5D - both HD.
The machine it's running on has 8gb of RAM.
Currently the projects I'm working on are gradually grinding to a hold with no way to make the files usable again.
Any suggestions are greatfully recieved as I'm at a loss. I've reported this to Adobe, and will report back if I get anything useful.
thanks.

TClark,
I'm shocked that you are having the same problem on a mac. This seems to suggest a problem that could be really widespread. You've also beaten my 1.5GB file bloat size.
What the hell is going on with Premiere Pro? I'm surprised to have heard nothing from Adobe either via my support request or on this forum, save for Jeremys useful work around, considering how serious an issue this is.
I've had to break all the projects I'm working on which have multiple timelines in each project into a new seperate project per timeline in order to reduce the file bloat problem and reduce the risk of me loosing all my work in one go on a bloated file.
Adobe - we could do with some help here. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on licences for this software only to have virtually non-existant help when a serious flaw in the software manifests itself.
Nat
Yeah...it's really a bummer that no one is acknowledging it. It's pretty serious!
I hope Dennis jumps in soon!

Problem with opening final cut studio3 project files

hello, i m using final cut studio 3 and it seems it ocured a problem with the projects
after i work on a project and save it, i can t open it anymore(it apears a dialog box wich it says unable to open project file)
i ve uninstalled final cut, installed again and the problem it s still there
cam you give me an advice about what i can do?
thank you

Uninstalling/reinstalling rarely helps in issues like these and is usually a huge waste of time... It sounds more like a corrupt project than anything. Is FCP able to open other projects?
Hopefully you have Autosave turned on, as that may be your only salvation... So go to your Autosave Vault (usually located in your documents folder, in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder).

Problem with opening project file from my friend

My friend save his project and gave me it on CD. Of course he gave me all needed files like source videos. It's videos from the same type of DSLR clips which I also have. So I making my own movies also with clips in this codes or similar. My DSLR is Canon 600D but DSLR of my friend is Canon 550D - clips from his DSLR are of course also written form my system. So everything seems to be OK.
Now i try to open this project in my PC but it doesn't work at all. I can see only this message:
My friend work on CS 5 but I work on CS 6. I don't believe that Adobe Premiere Pro can't open a older type of his project files. Please help.

What do you know about the sequence preset your friend used?
Sequence preset? I don't know anything. But I think that is unneceserry even to know. Because why sequence preset can be important? Preset is only a preset. So I can't see any reason preset was a main problem with it.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

IMovie Project File Problem - Won't Play After HD Format

Hi everyone, I have a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.4.11) running iMovie 08 (7.1.4). A few months ago I created a slideshow in iMovie and it was saved in a folder on my laptop as an iMovie Project file (159MB). Whenever I wanted to show someone the slideshow, I just double-clicked the iMovie Project file and it opened automatically in iMovie and the slideshow played without any problems.
Earlier this week I had to format the HD of my MBP (I wanted to get rid of the Windows partition I had). Before I did this, I obviously backed-up all my files onto a portable HD and reinstalled them on my MBP. Today, when I attempted to open the iMovie Project file (again, by double-clicking on it in Finder) I ran into a problem: iMovie 08 opens, but the file will not play. It doesn't even appear anywhere in iMovie. Before, it would appear in iMovie and show all the individual frames, audio track, etc.
(Unsurprisingly) I also cannot open this iMovie Project file in any other program, such as Quicktime, etc...
Can anyone tell me how I can open this file in iMovie again and/or import it back into iMovie and watch/edit it there? It is quite important that I can open it again.
Thank you very much, Scott

AM1958, you are a lifesaver!! Thank you very much -- moving the .rcproject file to user>/Movies/iMovie Projects/ fixed my problem and I can now play my slideshow movie. I really appreciate the assistance. One more (small) thing: it seems to me that the quality of the movie has been somewhat compromised, in that I recall the images looking sharper and clearer before. This could be my mind playing tricks on me, but I am just wondering if this is possible... Or am I imagining this?

Would working from a locked project file cause problems?

Hi all.
working in FCP 4.5 on numerous Dual G5s (2.0 & 1.8 GHz) with sufficient RAM (4 GB+).
I'm working on a large project with a number of editors and I've created projects that each editor can use as references to the material. I lock the reference projects so that if they inadvertantly make changes to them, they will be reminded that the changes will be lost when they close out of the project. A theory has arisen that we are seeing performance degredation due to conflicts with Autosave. By performance degredation, I mean that responsiveness decreases, and an occasional crash occurs. I'm just wondering if the concern is valid. I'm just wondering if the concern is valid. My feeling is that it's too intermittent to be autosave's fault. Has anyone come across this?
thanks,
jack

nothing is written to the project file between saves, so it seems unlikely that your issues are related to their lock status. autosave only requires that a project has a pre-existing project file in order to work, so again, the issue would sem to be unrelated
... ok, so much for logic. the real resolution is likely only to come with be some controlled trial and error. see how you get on with unlocked project files and see if the performance issues disappear.

Scripting problems with upgraded project file

Hello,
I hope someone can offer a bit of help on this one. I have a v3 project file that I upgrade to v4. I decided to add a "return to menu" script to this project file. 3 scripts to set GPRM 0 mov to 0,1,2 for three different menus. And a final Jump script to Jump to Menu 1 if GPRM 0=0, Jump to Menu 2 if GPRM 0=1, Jump to Menu 3 if GPRM 0=2.
This doesn't work - won't work in simulator nor on a build. I suspect that the culprit is the upgraded project file. I made a new v4 project file and replicated these same exact scripts and behold! It works!
So I figured out that it's the upgrade project file that is the reason why these scripts won't work! Very disappointing.
But now, what can I do short of rebuilding this project all the way from scratch?!?
It's too bad you can't open 2 projects and copy and paste from one into another.
Using DVDSP 4.0.3
Dual 2 ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If you'd like to strip out the project assets (video and audio) and use .pict images as place holders instead, then send me the file (with the place holders), I'll happily take a look at it for you. It should be working fine, and I suspect there is something small we have both overlooked.
There are no real issues with projects from v3 going on to v4 where scripting is concerned - the scripts are identical. There will be something else going on here...
Just to be sure your scripts are:
mov GPRM1, 0
Jump MainMenu // your actual menu name is here
then
mov GPRM1, 1
Jump SceneSelection1 // again, your actual menu name is in here
and
mov GPRM1, 2
Jump SceneSelection2 // and again for the menu name
Then your final script reads:
Jump MainMenu If(GPRM1 = 0)
Jump SceneSelection1 If (GPRM1 = 1)
Jump SceneSelection2 If(GPRM1 = 2)
The first script is the start up item for the disc, the second and third scripts are set as targets for buttons on the main menu (which means the script is run before the footage plays) - the last script is set as the menu call and end jump for the track.
You are sure that you are correctly re-setting the GPRM each time you move between menus?
If this simple scripting system isn't working then there is going to be a reason for it besides the upgrade... send me the file, I'll have a look. Alternatively, have a look here for downloadable stuff, and find the zip archive called 'Chi-Ho Lee', which is a simplified PAL version of how I think you should have this set up.

Multiclip sync problem when transfering project file to another editbay

I edited a mulitclip and saved the project onto the same scratch drive as the media files. The scratch drive is networked to two other edit bays. When I pull the project file and media files from the networked scratch drive and put them onto the drive of another machine, the multiclip will play in the timeline, but is not editable. I have reconnected the media files from the scratch drive to the new drive, but when I try to change camera angles, they are either unavailable or the multiclip will pull footage from a different multiclip in a different project.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

1. The way you are doing that, you are only copying pointers to the original file into your final project. As soon as you remove one of the single-track files, you'll get an error msg, and the recording is gone. To avoid this, you have to "Save as Archive" the final project each time you inserted a new recording!
2. Yes, it's possible, but a bit tricky, and you risk damaging you projects:
- Locate the source project in the Finder.
- Ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Content".
- Open the folder called "Media", and you'll see your recordings.
- Pick the ones you want and drag them into your opened targed project.
