Project lost after crashed

I had been working for hours on a project that include several video clips (already trimmed), and when I was adding some titles it just crashed. When I reopened the whole project was gone. I can't even find the video files that I imported from my SOny AVCHD camera. I need help please!!!!!!!!!

If the program crashed, when using Titler, this article might be helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2186476#2186476
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

  • IMovie project corrupt after crash?

    I have a problem with a seemingly corrupt iMovie project
    I have been working on a holiday movie for over 12 hours
    Today, my macbook pro crashed while editing the project
    Aftwards I was unable to load the project.
    Other, older projects can still be loaded with iMovie.
    I suspect the project has been corrupted due to the crash.
    I don't have any back-ups (Time Machine is not activated)
    Are there any other ways to fix the corrupted file or is it permanently damaged and won't I be able to open it again?
    Thanks for your help and insights!

    I'm new to iMovie, and to the Mac, and for years I have heard about how wonderful the Mac is. While it doesn't have the same problems as a PC it has plenty of its own problems.
    I just spent 20 straight hours putting together a movie in iMovie. As I clicked to make my very last tweak to my project, iMovie crashed.
    I tried to get a hold of Apple support but their system doesn't allow access to an actual human being. Their system make you go through a series of steps to "arrange for a phone call from Apple". That system fails EVERY TIME. I get to the end and a messages pops up saying that they can't help with my problem at this time, try again. I've had a Mac for three months now and their support system fails every, single time.
    So, on to the problem at hand. As I read the various forums about iMovie it has struck me as rather odd that no one seems to have a problem with the engineers at Apple creating a software package that does not allow you to save your work. Now, it took me all of a nano second to realize the likely out come of such stupidity. And, on my very first big project my prediction came true. iMovie crashed as I finished my project and destroying all of my work.
    So my first question is, how could the engineers at Apple possibly justify not including a "save" and "save as" function to iMovie? The absurdity of this reaches new heights. This has disaster written all over it. And it appears that many people are having the same problems.
    Secondly: I've read messages from people who seem to think that not having a "save" or "save as" function was a brilliant stroke of genius. OK, so this question goes out to those people. If it is so brilliant then please explain to me how I can recover my last twenty hours of work? If there had been a "save" function I would have been saving my project all along the way and I would only have lost the last half an hour or so and not the entire 20 hours.
    So, tell me. Precisely. Step-by-step. How do I recover my work.

  • Java lost after crash while updating, can't seem to get it back

    hi,
    while running software update, my computer crashed and i seem to have lost java.
    i've dowloaded a number of jse releases.
    most of them didn't work, one did:
    java15release1
    however, when trying to install:
    j2se50 release 1-5, i got the alert
    "unable to locate java on this volume" (yes it's the right volume)
    i got these errors before and after the succesfull install.
    i tried renstalling that one, but it doesn't help.
    java is unrecognized in terminal, max-msp (a music app) and the sun's test site crashed firefox.
    so, would be nice if anyone could help, i tried some things i found by searching, but they came down to what i had tried already.
    pity, was just about to take on java programming...
    btw i have the developers tools installed if that might matter.
    thanks in advance

    hmmm this seems to slip downpage really easily, please don't mind me for bumping it.

  • Imovie won't load project file after crash

    Hi All,
    I was almost done with an iMovie project, and while I watching the preview, iMovie crashed.
    After I opened iMovie again, the project was there anymore. I can see all other projects but the project I want, the one I was working on when it crashed.
    I checked the forum for similar problems but no solution worked so far. The file is in the Projects Folder, I can even see the preview a thumbnail of the project.
    Here is what I tried so far:
    deleting com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    deleting com.apple.iApps.plist
    Moving file to a different location
    Renaming the file
    clicking twice on the file to open
    Transfered the file to another Mac (with event files)
    Deleted iMovie and reinstalled from AppStore
    rebooted many times
    None of this worked so far. The file is there, 13MB, but nothing seems to recognize the file into iMovie.
    Mountain Lion latest version. iMovie 11 latest version.
    Please help, a load of work was put into this and I need to finish the movie by Thursday.
    All help appreciate it.

    There are a number of others here having the same problem (including me), where the project appears in Finder in the iMovie Projects folder but is not listed in the Project Library in iMovie. The project just seems to disappear from the Library.
    Here is a link to a recent topic. It includes a post by me where I've provided links to other topics regarding this issue.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21296973?ac_cid=tw123456#21296973
    You've given an excellent summary of things you've tried. I've also tried most of those, but haven't as yet reinstalled iMovie. As I have Final Cut Pro X, I also attempted to open the project file in that app with no success. FCP X crashed just after loading, after I had selected from the menu - File > Import > iMovie Project.
    You can submit feedback to Apple - from iMovie's Menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
    Sorry I can't help you solve this.

  • All plugin validations lost after crash 7.2.1 pro

    The topic says it all.
    Logic 7.2.1. crashes a lot and today for the second time all my plugin validations got lost and logic wants to scan them ALL again (520!!). This takes a lot of time since the au validator crashes all over the place and I have to press a button lots of times.
    I used to have this problem before, back in version 7.0 or something. Back then I could backup a file called au.validation.plist. But today that file does not exist anymore. Does anyone know in which FILE the validations are stored?
    cheers.

    I'm not sure what the TimeBarControl is (not a developer...) but my best guess is that it's the widget that the scrub bar in the Timeline and the Monitors is built on. As for what could be causing the crash, I'd only be guessing. A few things I'd try to isolate:
    Whether the crash is limited to certain sequences, or possibly just one.
    Whether it's tied to certain content: a single clip,  a multicam or nested sequence, ...
    Given the TimeBarControl  and SetVisibleTimebase refs, whether it's associated either with the way you have things set up for one or more of the scrub bars (zoom level, timecode display mode, Show Audio Time Units...) or with the actual timebase of the content or the sequence (unusual frame rate, use of Interpret Footage to specify the frame rate of content).

  • Logic folder corrupted and all projects lost (after update onto 10.0.6 most likely), is there anyway to restore them?

    Hi,
    Has anyone experienced Logic Pro X's Logic folder corruption after update onto 10.0.6 (released 9.1.2014)? All my projects were disappeared from the folder and cannot find them anywhere with disc recovery tools, naturally no backups for the projects and set up Time Machine  few days after 10.0.6 update (quite nice!) and did not touch Logic for month or so and now all projects gone!
    I would appreciate any help to get those recovered and yes the importance of backupping the projects is now finally understood by the hard way.
    Thx,
    Supercomp1

    Will try this approach provided by

  • Imovie 10 projects missing after crash mid export to theatre

    Hi All
    I converted to imovie 10 from 9 and the conversions all went well.
    I have been using imovie 10, with some crashes but no major downside for a few weeks.
    While using imovie and creating a couple of new movies imovie crashed in the process of exporting movies to theatre. When I reopened imovie the two projects were missing. Despite trying every strategy I could find on the net I havent been able to get them back.
    If I "show package contents" of the imovie library I can see that that project and appropriate files still exist, imovie just isnt seeing them.
    I am wondering if deleting the "CurrentVersion.flexolibrary" might be the solution?
    Any help would be gratefully accepted.
    Thanks

    Solution!
    Go to Users > your account > Library > Preferences
    Find this file:
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    Move it out of the Preferences folder.
    Launch iMovie. It should rebuild the Events Library, iPhoto thumbnails, etcs. And your Projects will return.
    It worked for me.
    Hope it helps!

  • Previous session lost after crash :(

    Firefox crashed and now my previous session is greyed out/not available. I have my profiles folder open, but not sure if I save the sessions files in time. Might have been replaced with the newest session already. Can I use any of the files in the sessionstore-backups folder to find a backup point, and how?

    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore-backups files are:
    * recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update
    ''Please copy them all to a safe location so Firefox doesn't replace or cull them.''
    Could you take a look at what you have and the date/time of the various files to see whether you think any of them would have the missing tabs?

  • Work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying over to photoshop

    work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying items over to photoshop, then when re-opening the illustrator file it gets to the end of reading the file to open then quits again? this keeps happening!

    afrill,
    It seems that you file has become corrupted.
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.

  • Project disappeared from iMovie 10.0.5 after crash

    Thanks for reading, your help is greatly appreciated.
    After importing my final clip, iMovie crashed. After starting up again, the project was there but only the "skeleton" timeline was visible with a red icon. I waited for a few minutes then decided to force quit. After startup my project was gone.
    I have been around many discussions on the same topic but none of the solutions have worked.
    I opened the package contents of the iMovie Library file in my Movies folder and successfully found the following files inside the time stamped folder:
    - CurrentVersion.imovieevent
    - Original Media folder with my mp4 clips
    - Render Files folder
    - Shared Files folder
    - [Project name] folder containing CurrentVersion.imovieevent
    - CurrentVersion.flexolibrary
    Some system info:
    iMovie version 10.0.5
    OSX 10.9.4
    Again I have been around the discussion forum and none of these threads have helped me at all:
    - Project disappeared
    - iMovie 10.0.3 project disappears after share

    Do you mean you want to extend the duration of a still in the movie and you no longer have the iMovie project on your computer?  (If you still have the project it is much better to edit this and re-export).
    After importing the finished movie back into a new iMovie project you can split it either side of the part you want to lengthen (see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#movf8b8fc9b2) then increase the duration of the split out part.
    Hope this helps,
    Geoff.

  • While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly, Please Help!

    So, I have created a cool project that was a lot of hard work in After Effects CC (Mac), While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly. Here is the link to an error log which is automatically recorded when After Effects crashes:- After Effects Crash (Mac) - Pastebin.com

    Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
    As it is, you don't really have one.
    You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

  • Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

    (I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
    Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
    [I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
    Thanks (in advance) for the help.

    You should wait.

  • CS4 - Project opens, but crashes during save

    Adobe Premiere CS4 running on Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.3
    So I've been working with the same Premiere CS4 project file for awhile now, and I've hit a pretty big dead end that I really need some help with: Whenever I save the project (File>Save Project), I get the progress bar that says "saving project", but it locks up half way, and gives me the spinning rainbow wheel of death. I am forced to quit the application. My changes do not save.
    I get the same behavior when I try to workaround the problem: Save as, Save a copy... Importing sequences into a new project as well. Occasionally after crashing Premiere in these manners I have to restart for it to load up again.
    I am using images and 1 video from iStock in my project. I first saw the strange behavior when I tried to put an iStock image jpeg into the timeline. It showed no preview for it. There was nothing about the image, technically speaking, that I think would cause such a problem.
    I don't get it because the project opens with no problem. I can even work in it... just can't save. Any help?

    The source material I am using includes jpegs from iStock, video from iStock, psds I create myself (usually flattened). I have also done some simple animation in After Effects (CS4) also from Master Collection. I imported a composition in from AE that matched my presets. I felt that was the most risky thing I've done in this project, but the point in time at which everything started to fail was when I imported a handful of iStock jpegs. I was having trouble getting one of them to preview in the source monitor. Details on that one here from getting its properties in the Project panel.

    Notice the dimensions are incorrect. Premiere has since locked up from me getting these properties. The actual dimensions of this image are 585 × 821. This is really the only clue I have so far.
    The other thing I should also note is regarding the AE composition that I imported. It had some effects on it that could not be interpreted. Premiere tells me this when I open the project up: This hasn't caused me a problem yet that I know of, because I've gone a couple days with it.
