Problems opening project in CS5

Hi all,
I've been working on a CS5 project for 6 months. 2 weeks ago I tried to open the project and Premiere hanged when loading media. I have load the project closing the the opened sequences while loading the media files, but when I try to open any sequence it hangs again. I'm unable to do anything when I open the project. I have tried the following tasks:
1.- Create a new project, import the entire original project on it. It imports the original one, but with same results: when I try to open a sequence Premiere hangs on.
2.- Create a new project, import some sequences of original project on it: doesn't work, the box where sequences should be is empty
3.- Open any of the autosaved project: same problem, every saved project has same behavior
I don't know how to solve this problem. I have months of work in that project and the only thing left for me is to cry
Can anybody hel me?
Thanks a lot.

SO, my friend is running both FCS 7 and FCP X on the same harddrive.
snowleopard with the latest upadates.
hmmm
yes, the funny thing is, I have FCS 6 and FCP X on one Disk running Snowleopard.
NO problems. Uprade to Lion... No Problems.
And also I could not find information on the web of somebody else having this problem.

Problems opening project if I 'log on' with new id

Someone told me that my problem may be fixed if I logged on as a new user. I assume because they thought the problem might go away if I did so. But now when I'm logged on as a new user, I can't open the project. I get the forever beach ball???
Maybe I'm just not waiting long enough, but it seems to be crashing my system.
Any advice??
Bryce

The log in as a different user manuever is intended to determine if the FCP application itself , not any particular project, is at issue. This manuever involves only logging in as a different user and then starting FCP. If you get an un named project and normal start-up, that tells you at least that FCP is working OK. In turn that informs you that the preferences used as the "real" user may be the problem. If the project you are working on is not available to the "different" user and the different user tries to open it,an assignment that has to be made in advance of the switch, you could get a beachball and learn very little. You would have to make all components of the project(everything) available to the different user to try to start the project.
But the search for problems within projects are not revealed in this manuever.

Freezing when opening project in CS5.5 Windows 7

I've read where uses have been hainvg issue loading projects with linked objects like Premiere sequences. I'm having such an issue where I can load 16% of the project and then Encore freezes and crashes. I've deleted all the preferences and media cache files as described in one of the articles. I've also loaded the project in Premiere before opening Encore to no avail.
I had changed the media cache from my main OS drive to my drive with the most stoage. Once that occured I have yet to be able to open this project. I need it opened desperately so I can finish this for my client.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit CS5.5 and yes I am the administrator of the machine. This is the only thing holding me up as my project is done and is ready to be burned.
Thank you

Try trashing your preferences in the default account. I don't know if you got to item 12 in that list, so here it is:
12. Re-create the Adobe Encore Preferences files.
Some problems may be caused by a damaged Preferences file.
To automatically re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences file:
Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys while choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number>. Release the keys after several seconds. The application will not start at this point, but the preferences file will be deleted.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> again to start the application. A new preferences file is created when the application starts.
Note: This procedure will not re-create the preferences for workspaces, zoom levels, or default library items. To do so, manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files.
To manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files:
Delete the following folder:
On Windows Vista: C:\Users\ [user name] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\<version number>.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> to start the application. New preferences files are created when the application starts.

Problem opening Project/WBS Elements in CJ03

Hi Experts,
I have created an interface which posts PROJECT01 Idocs into SAP 6.0. Idocs are posted successfully and I can see Projects/WBS elements in tables PROJ and PRPS.
However, when I try to open a project/wbs through transaction CJ03, it throws short dump mentioning memory overflow. I checked by debugging CJ03 and found that the code is going into infinite loop.
Could anyone help me understand why this kind of problem is coming? What is the reason the code is going into infinite loop? If the project/wbs structure is not getting created properly, how can I check that?
Thanks in advance.
Netrey

The issue is resolved. The structure coming throug Idoc itself was incorrect.

PROBLEMS OPENING PROJECT

Hi guys, I have a problem. I made a video and then took it out of the project area and put it on my desktop. Now i cant open it at all. I cant drag it to imovie, i simply cannot get it to open whatsoever. i can't even open it or even find it in imovie. I have no idea why and what i can do because i can see the file on my desktop and its teasing me!!
Tahlia

Hi Tahlia
What You can see - is not the same as What Your Mac can see - especially iMovie.
You MUST move the project file back to iMovie Project folder !
To avoid problems do not (after restoring) move or alter anything in any folder named
• iMovie Projects - or -
• iMovie Events
or iMovie get's totally lost and damage might not even be possibly to repair.
Moving's - Can be done - BUT MUST BE done within the iMovie Application !
That's the way it's made.
• One more thing - not allways too obvious - The Project file - IS NO MOVIE - it is a document
that tells iMovie howto use the material (eg in Events and iTunes and in iPhoto and on HD) connected to the Movie You want to do.
It is very alike the score that a conductor uses in a symphony orchestra - not the Music but
a guide to how each instrument is played and when and the logic around this.

Problems opening projects

I'm an Aperture newbie, but already encountering problems. When I double-click on a project in the browser, Aperture opens a different project. I've already tried rebuilding, and that didn't do any good. Any ideas how to solve the problem? Thanks –

In the Browser? Do you mean in the 'Projects' item which lays out thumbnails for all projects or do you mean double clicking on a project in the Inspector (Projects & Albums section), note that only a single click is required in the inspector..

Problem opening projects on other systems

I have a Mac Pro at work and an iMac at home...
When I open a project from either box onto the other one, my timelines instances are not visually there on the timeline but if you scroll through it the footage is still there, it's almost like a blank sequence.
The timeline/sequence turns black and then sometimes an instance will appear randomly, it is really annoying. Only the timeline panel has the issue, all other panels seem fine.
My only fix is to start a new project and then drag in the project from the other system. I have to do this every time I go from one system to another.
Anyone having the same issues???
Cheers

Sorry but ... from the PP manual... if you have ever read it???
Clip instance
A dependent reference to a source clip, used in a sequence. Each time you add a clip to a sequence, you create another instance of the clip. A clip instance uses the name and source file reference used by its source clip. While clip instances are not listed in the Project panel, they are differentiated in the Source Monitor menu if you open instances there. The Source Monitor menu lists instances by name, sequence name, and In point.
Hope that helps you understand the correct terminology.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can try to duplicate my issue??

Problem opening project, JSE 8.1

Hello
I just reinstalled the OS and subsequently JSE 8.1. When I try to open my project it appears JSE cannot. When I navigate to the folder which contains my project folder, the project folders show as valid project folder, that is they have a small icon in their corner. But whan i select the folder, this icon dissapears, and choosing it will only open the folder, not open the project. Can someone explain and help me with this, please?
Much regards
Fluid

- Were any extra modules/updates installed when the projects were originally created, that are possibly missing in the current installation?
- Are there any relevant error messages and/or stacktraces in the <userdir>/var/log/messages.log file?
- There could be a chance that the userdir may have been corrupted, though it seems unlikely since you have reinstalled the OS itself. But still, can you try running the ide with a fresh userdir and see if that makes a difference?

Problem opening projects iMovie 13

I just updated to Yosemite and decided to update to iMovie 13 from 11 as well ... big mistake.
Because of the large size of my iMovie projects I kept them on my external hd, this used to work perfectly, whenever I had my external HD connected it would show all the projects in iMovie and I could play/edit them as I pleased. Now after the update the projects no longer show, and although they are still on the external HD, they only show as iMovie Events, not projects, which means I would need to import them all back and edit the whole movie from scratch. Needless to say I'm extremely frustrated by this, and I hope one of you can help me to get things back to the way they were.
Thank you in advance.
Daniel

Update: Just found out Apple keeps a copy of iMovie 11 on it even after upgrading, so I'm still able to edit and play all my films .. thank god.
Still would be nice to know how to get these projects into 13, or is this impossible?

Opening CS4 projects in CS5 error with Canon 5D footage HELP!!!

HI Im trying out the new Premiere Pro CS5 demo and Im getting major problems opening projects.
Initially I couldnt open any of my CS4 projects but could import single sequences one at a time only, not whole projects. So I was finally working fine yesturday and today nothing opens that includes canon 5d footage . I get this error.
"This project contains a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I get the same message when I import a whole project. Yet I can import a whole project 1 sequence at a time!!!
I can only create new projects which save and open but all older saved projects do not open.
thanks
remainz

Yes, this is an intermittent issue with CS5. Somehow, there’s a problem wherein certain commonly-used codecs suddenly remove/disable themselves. I had this problem, and it was driving me crazy as I couldn’t open anything, and it was just way, way too much work to recreate. So I opened up a new project. Lo and behold, the program suddenly informed me that there were codecs that needed to be installed. Codecs which, I’m sure, have been installed already, but obviously Premiere knows that they’re missing. Allowing the program to install them, and then allowing it to quit itself, and then reopening the program again enabled Premiere to open all of my projects again.

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

Problem opening PrE 9 project created on Mac in Windows

Hi, I recently migrated from a Mac to Windows 7, and am having problems opening my project files on the Windows computer. I created several PrE9 projects on my Mac, but now I need to open some of these files on a PC with Windows 7. I get the error message "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements." I have successfully opened other CS5 project files (AI, PS) on both platforms. This is the first I've seen Adobe files open on Mac but not PC.
So, assuming this is going to be impossible, can I export from the Mac version of PrE to Windows? Is cross-platform collaboration impossible with PrE 9? That doesn't seem likely. What am I missing?
I have some title animations that I created on the Mac that I would really like to reuse in new Windows projects moving forward. I hope I don't have to recreate them from scratch!
Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, project files created on the Mac platform are not compatible with the Windows version of the product and vice versa.
You can't work on the same project file on both a Mac and a PC. Sorry.

Opening projects from older Premiere versions in CS5.5 ?

Hello!
I'm trying to help my wife, who's using Premiere Pro CS5.5.
She edited a movie in an old version of Premiere. We have all the files from the project, but no longer have access to the machine she edited on. We are about 95% sure that it was edited on Premiere Pro 2.0 for Windows. (It might have been on a slightly older Windows version).
We've just installed Premiere Pro CS5.5 on her computer. We're having a number of problems importing the file. Some of them we're solving quickly, some of them a little less so. I wanted to check on the forum to check a couple of things:
1) Just to be sure: Is Premiere Pro CS5.5 for Windows supposed to be able to work with projects from Premiere Pro 2.0? From older versions? Is there an easy way to figure out what version of Premiere the project file was created in?
2) Is there any sort of FAQ or anything we might consult about issues that typically come up when importing from older versions of Premiere?
We are sort of puzzling though this together. I'm usually the computer problem-solving guy around the house, but I don't know anything about Premiere...
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Yes, Premiere Pro CS5.5 can open projects created in any previous version of Premiere Pro (and version 6.x of Adobe Premiere).
Great to know!
If you bring specific issues to this forum as they arise, we may be able to help.
Okay. We'll play around a bit on our own, and I'll see if we can summarize problems we can't figure out.
I don't suppose there's any sort of FAQ about common problems in importing from old versions or anything?
