Project damaged by updates

I have a problem. I recently uninstalled Pro CS4, reinstalled it, downloaded the latest updates. Now a project in the timeline is damaged. About half of the clips in the timeline now start and stop at the wrong point, their in/out points have been changed by a random amount, though all the clips are the correct length and the transitions all occur at the right points. I have two harddrives with the clips distributed between both, many are duplicated in both HDs. When I first tried to open the project after updating, no picture appeared in the monitor, it said Media Off Line. I managed to find the clips by looking in various places, but as I said half the clips now start and stop at the wrong frame. These faults are the same in all saved versions of the project, and also in the auto-saved versions. To repair all these faults would be a helluva job, especialy because some of the clips I chopped up into many small pieces, removing a frame here and there, changing the speed of some pieces, to smooth out jerky pan shots.
What has happened? and is there any way I can restore the clips to their correct start/stop points?
I didn't rename any of the clips or alter them in any way, except to use a few of them in another project (which is undamaged)
Has anyone any ideas?

Charles,
Not directly related to the OP's problem and not even applicable to PrPro, but in my decades with PS, I never had to "trash my Prefs," and felt pretty good about this. One day, while working on a rather large graphic, Java started to download an update. I had missed shutting this function down - my bad. Halfway through, it killed PS, destroyed my image file (luckily a Copy with few edits done). I had not touched the machine from the moment that Java started doing its thing. I watched in horror, as PS crashed. This had never happened in all those years. I restarted PS when Java was done and it was hosed! Trashing the Prefs fixed it, but that image (on the HDD) was also hosed. Guess whose auto update got "fixed" instantly. Unrelated coincidence? I do not know.
Going back, I was installing an NLE update (not Adobe), and Logitech's Set-Point started an update. I'd missed shutting that one off too. Not only did my installation get whacked, but XP-Pro was butchered, my LAN was disabled, System Restore would not work. Norton Ghost could not save my bacon. Nothing worked! Set-Point is history. My wireless mouse works fine without it. It took a low-level format and complete reinstall to get me up and running. This was on a brand new workstation with minimal apps installed yet.
Do these have anything to do with the OP's issue? Probably do not. Do they have anything to do with my shutting down all auto updates? Absolutely.

Aperture 3.1.2 no more stores imported pictures in projects. Downloded Update 3.2.2 cannot be opended. Actualisations only via Mac App Store. Is there a way via Internet-Download?

In the Window 'About Aperture' is below the Version: a No: 1530000.1
Are you looking in the "About" panel of your old Aperture installation or the Trial? The old version will show the licence number, if it has one. After installing a different version this chance is gone.
I bought Aperture 3.1.2 on March 2011 in the internet App Store.
If you bought from the App Store and not the Apple Store, your Aperture version has no serial number. Are you sure, you did not buy from the Apple Store? Then you should have received a serial number by email.
Can you give me a serial No
No, sorry I cannot. The serial number is bought with Aperture and only licenced to the person who bought it.

I updated to yosemite os and was in the middle of a project with final cut pro 10. Now it says final cut pro is incompatible. How can I access my project and/or update final cut?

There is this offer of a trial version FC Pro X with 30 day runtime:
http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/trial/
Too bad you didn't have a complete backup that could run the previous OS X
and then you could resume using an earlier Final Cut Pro (10) or (7) since a
clone would have been a means toward that position.
http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutpro/
http://www.apple.com/support/pro-apps/
This appears to be another good reason to check out all the reasons why one
would want or need to upgrade a working OS X version, since these kinds of
events are known to happen as a direct result.
Sorry to not have an answer to this, other than try & use the Trial version...
Or see if someone at Apple sales/support can field your issue w/ an answer.
Good luck & happy computing!

I can't save Logic Projects/Files since updating to Lion. Help?!

I can't save Logic Projects/Files since updating to Lion. Help?!

I just had the same problem, after working on a project for a couple of hours and thinking it was saved, I go back to work on it some more and all the work I had done was not there. This is totally frustrating. I posted here as well and haven't had any responses. Good luck to you.

Can't find any project/backup after updating to Mavericks

Hello,
I've updated to Mavericks and my project disappeared from FCP, I've found the folder in Documents\movies, with the name of my project but it appears there's no project library in there, there's a folder called backup with .fcproject file, but not able to restore.
Can someone give me some help on how I can restore the project?
Many Thanks
Pier

WWhat version of FCP? Please give the exact folder path for your project/s.

Why is the video audio white noise when I share my project since I updated to 10.0.9

On the movies I created before I updated to 10.0.9, the audio prortion of the video is now white noise. The audio is fine when played back in FCP, but when i share the project it is white noise. When I burn it to BluRay the audio is gone all together. Even when I make a master file to my desktop, it still happens. The music I added to my project is fine. It just the audio that is part of the video clips that is affected. I've turned off the EQ's and Compressors I was using and I even tried moving the audio to the center channel instead of mono. No luck. Need some help. I can't figure this out.

I'm encountering the same problem as the original poster. In my case, I'm using FCP 10.1 (running on OS 10.9.1). My source file is DV video imported via FireWire from a DV camcorder. The clip's audio is fine when playing inside of Final Cut Pro 10.1, but when I share the project the audio track is just white noise. My share settings are to Apple 720p devices (the subseqent dialog boxes indicate the software has figured out it's really 640x480 video).
Here's what the QuickTime Inspector says about the source file:
Format:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 5.87 GB
Data Rate: 30.30 Mbit/s
Current Size: 640-480 (actual)
I tried changing from "faster encode" to "better quality", but it made no difference.
The rather dated version of Compressor I have (v3.5.3) was able to encode the clip to H.264 640x480 and the results are fine. However, it took way longer than FCP 10.1 (I think it's too old to be taking advantage of the GPU).

Help! Project Damaged, All Tracks Disappeared!

My project, which was fine the last time I opened it, now gives me the following messages when I try to open it:
"Minor correction of project has taken place (1)"
then
"Warning! Project may be damaged"
When the files opens all the tracks are gone! If I create new tracks and add audio files, they appear for a minute then disappear.
This project resides on my external LaCie 500GB external drive. Other projects on this drive work fine. Creating a new project works fine. I have a backup on my internal drive but an old version. I'm looking at hours recreating the piece. Does anyone know what's happened? Is there any way to recover my work?

Yeah, the project is still there, as are the audio files, thank god. And yes, there are ten backup files but they all are similarly corrupted.
I did find the Undo History and was able to back up a few steps so that my tracks reappeared. BUT: most of the tracks say No Output with the icon crossed out in red and have lost all their inserts and channel strips and basically all their data (and do not play of course). Interestingly the Undo History describes actions performed on "No Output" as the track name instead of, say, "Piano 2."
The last thing I did a week ago was bounce the track (to mp3 not aif, alas) then quit Logic and I haven't used it since. So the project somehow got messed up while dormant. And no, nothing seemed wrong during the bounce.

10.0.9 to 10.11 update issues - re: project files not updating

#1 - I understand the function of libraries/events/projects in the 10.1+ version of Final Cut X, so this is not a case of not being able to identify projects contained within an event.
FCPX simply refuses to update projects created in an older version (which is unfortunate).
Events are imported without issue.
Is there some type of workaround? I am just getting an error that quits cancels the update process without giving me reason.
40 minutes of searching through google lead me to posing this question.
Thanks

Solved the issue:
I had multiple folders/subfolders which contained all of my old projects (this hierarchy was created through pre 10.1 file system organization). the point is I just moved all of the project folders to the "Final Cut Projects" folder at the root of the drive and all was fine.

Project Server Cumulative Update August 2013 install failed due to login issue/interruption

Hi all,
I was in the process of running the installer (exe) for the August 2013 Cumulative update "uber" hotfix for SharePoint 2013 and Project Server today (KB2817615) on three servers. I was connected to the servers via Remote Desktop, logged in as the
Farm account.
On one of the servers, somewhere during the installation, my Remote Desktop session got "hijacked" by another user who was not aware of the ongoing process..so he was logged in as the Farm account for a few minutes.
I logged back in and found that the install dialog was gone...apparently the install stopped due to the interruption in logins. So I attempted to re-run the hotfix installer, but it now says "There are no products affected by this package installed
on this system."
I've tried clearing the timer cache and running the installer using "PACKAGE.BYPASS.DETECTION.CHECK=1" but neither has worked.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed or re-run?
Thank you for your assistance!
Regards,
Kevin Worthington

Hi Kevin,
Were you able to resolve this issue. I didn't have any interruptions or login issue, the installation cancelled itself!
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Every Project damaged and can't be opened after reinstall

Hello,
I recently had some problems with my MacBook Pro and had to reinstall OS X Lion. After doing so, I also had to reinstall all my adobe applications. Everything works great except for Premiere CS5. Now when I create a project and save it it seems fine, but when I try to open any saved project it tells me the project is damaged and cannot be opened.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Kayle Schnell

You're the third Mac users I've sen report this. Try a forum search.

Project 2013 & Security updates

Hi Everyone
I have Project 2013 installed on machines that have Office 2010 Pro running.
I have only noticed this now from October 2014 Patching.
It seems this machine wants all sorts of Office 2013 patches installed. (eg. Word 2013, OneNote 2013 , Outlook 2013, Office 2013, etc). However, this machine only has Project 2013 installed only.
In this scenario, is it normal for a machine like this to trigger other Office 2013 components to be as required installation, even though it does not have that component installed?
Thanks, DM.

Hi DM,
Based on your situation now, you have received above updates, but not installed yet. As far as I know, this issue usually happened if we have installed Office 2013 before and un-installed now. Sometimes, the Office 2013 info would retain
in registry key after removing, and then Microsoft Windows update center will check this info to send the updates.
On the other hand, it also might be related to
MSOCache folder. if we have it in C:\Windows, please try to remove it. (Please backup it before remove)
Next, if this issue still exists, Please try to upload the WindowsUpdate.log through OneDrive, we could do deep research. (Location: C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log)
Regards,
George Zhao

It's recommended to download and install

IMovie project photos not updating

I'm using iMovie11 with photos from my Aperture library. I use the media browser to add photos to my iMovie project. Can anyone tell me what iMovie's expected behavior should be after I'd done the following:
1. Created an iMovie project and added photos from an Aperture album via the media browser.
2. Did some editing of said photos in Aperture. Aperture prefs set to "Always" share previews with iLife and iWork.
3. When the same Aperture album is viewed in the iMovie media browser, all of the green checkmarks next to the photos I had added to my iMovie project are gone (though the photos are still in the iMovie project).
4. None of the photos in my iMovie project show my new edits.
Is this how things should work? Does this mean that I have to delete and re-add any and all photos I edit? They don't update after they've been included in an iMovie project? In this specific case, that means over 200 photos with accompanying audio clips.
Please confirm, and thank you in advance.

With iMovie 09, you would have to delete and re-add after you did further editing of photos in Aperture or iPhoto. I assume (but have not confirmed) that it works the same way in iMovie 11.
iMovie will find the photo at the path in Aperture (or iPhoto) with all current edits. It will "capture" it in a format suitable for video (e.g. 1920x1080), and it is available to the iMovie Project for you to do further color correction in iMovie. It will not go back and check for changes.
In general, your workflow for the photo should be complete in Aperture or iPhoto or Photoshop before dragging into an iMovie Project.

RA status on Project : Object Currency update

Hi,
While running RA on a Project , we get message KJ129 which suggests that the RA values will only be updated in CO area currency and not in Object currecny. On further investigation I find that this happens only on Projects which have a status of I0082 ( RA carried out) but not I00295 ( Internal status - RA carried out in Object Currecny) .
The staus RESA ( RA carried out) was set initially then was deactivated and then set up again. This might be because the RA data was deleted ( possibly using kka8) many many months ago.
I read few SAP notes ( 485405 for instance) which confirm the observation and suggest that the RA data need to be converted.
Now the question is:
a) Can we reset the internal Status I00295 after which we belive the RA data would be written in both currencies.
b) What is meant by "conversion of the data of the RA"? ( On note 485405)
PS: This is observed only on RA vesrions which are not relevant for settlement and not on version 0.
We have CO area currency type set up as 30 and not 10.

Any Pointers?

How to update project with an update patch?

Is it possible to apply a patch to a project developed before the update? Of concern is the TEB Alpha patch.
Thanks

Hi there
I'm thinking all you would need to do is open that project, re-publish it and copy the result back to where it is viewed from.
Cheers... Rick
