Project Manager in CS6

I am trying to create a trimmed version of my project, which I shot at 1080 at 24p on a Canon 5d Mark ii. I clicked the Create New Trimmed Project box on the Project Manager, as well as the "exclude unused clips" box. I indicated handles of 24 frames. The problem was the resulting trimmed project included the full clips instead of the trimmed down clips with the handles, and the trimmed project is the same size as the original. Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this? Thanks for your help!

I've been waiting for Adobe's solution to this for some time now as well.  I often used the "Create New Trimmed Project" feature back in the days of capturing analog from Betacam.
Now I'm stuck with every miserable second of transferred P2, EX3, DSLR, and other such media footage.
It's nice to finally hear an explanation of why the feature "stopped" working.  But I know Adobe can figure something out--it's what they do!
Keep submitting those feature requests, guys.  Let Adobe know it's important, and they'll keep working at it.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Project Manager gives error & will not manage project - OS X Lion 10.7.5

    Premiere CS6 project manager reports  an error and will not manage my project. I have tried several times with both "Create New Trimmed Project" and " Collect Files and Copy to New Location". I have also tried to manage the project with options checked and unchecked (Include Preview Files, Include Audio Conform Files, Rename Media Files to Match Clip Names). Every time I try to manage the project, the process takes a few hours and then gives an error asking me to try again.
    The project is 90 minutes long and uses multiple footage formats:
    Sony FS100
    Sony NEX7
    Sony NEX-5n
    Canon C300
    Canon 5DmkII
    Panazonic HVX200
    My computer is:
    Processor  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Is this a bug, or are there specific things I can do to troubleshoot the problem? I have read of issues with AVCHD. I have confirmed all of my AVCHD folders are intact. Any other Ideas?
    THANKS!

    I have this same problem on a Mac with CS6. I was simple trying to archive a project using the "collect files" option. After five or six hours of troubleshooting (Thanks Adobe) I have narrowed it down to MXF clips that came over in a Final Cut EDL (Projects created in PP with MXF files seem to be fine).  In other words, as I was transitioning from FCP to Premiere Pro, I sent four or five projects out of FCP as an EDL, opened them in PP and continued to edit.  It seemed to work really well until I attempted to archive my media.  If there was a single raw MXF file in the timeline (Not the project panel for some reason) the Project Manager would give me the standard error:"An unknown error occurred during the Project Manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation.".
    I have found two solutions that seem to work, both of which are a pain in the ax. 
    Option 1: Save the original project file only to an archive folder.  Then delete all the old timelines from the project, and save the project with a new name.  Create a new timeline and just drag all the raw video and audio into it. (Project Manager needs a timeline of some sort to archive) Then use the Project Manager to archive the modified project.  If I need the project in the future, I'll need to open the original PP project and relink all the media from the archived "media only" project folder. 
    Unbelievably, if you were to take this route and then re-edit the project in the future, it looks like you would run up against the same archiving issue AGAIN next time (At least using CS6). You'd have to go through all the steps above to archive it a second time. Depending on the size of your project, you may want to take option 2 and get the pain over with once-and-for-all.
    Option 2: If you only have a couple of MXF files in the timeline (in my case I had mostly renders from AE by the time I was done and THAT raw project had archived in AE just fine) you can export the raw MXF files to another format, then replace the media in your project panel.  Finally, use the Project Manager to archive the project like you should have been able to in the first place if Adobe had written the code well in the first place!

  • Project Manager Stability (CS5.5,CS6)

    Hey all,
    I'm using Adobe CS5.5, but the Project Manager isn't entirely stable.It's been infamous for the An unknown error occured during the Project Manager operation.  Please save your project and retry the operation". error message result.
    Did this get fixed in CS6?
    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) on Dell Precision, 12Gb RAM. I submitted a bug report to Adobe.
    Most of my footage is .mpg, .m2t, .mp3, .wav, maybe a few .JPGs.
    Thanks for any insight you guys have!

    Without knowing anything about your work it is impossible to judge these things specifically. Generally I'd say you are hopelessly overdoing it with the GPU. I don't know a single use case that actually uses 4 GB on any graphics card except for games. Most OpenGL plug-ins in AE are limited to 2 GB and while this of course could change in the future, currently I see no realistic scenario to push it beyond that, because in most cases then the plug-ins will simply crash due to bugs or their internal logic not being able to deal with more VRAM. Likewise you will see zero benefit of this in C4D unless you use a GPU third-party renderer like Octane. C4D's OpenGL performance will collapse on itself long before you have filled all the memory with textures... Similarly, I see no advantage of 64GB RAM over 32GB. I do heavy CAD scenes all the time, but still have enough room left on my systems with 24 and 32GB, respectively. AE won't use that much RAM even with all MP settings at full on most projects as well. Having the fastest CPU is another matter and many functions in AE, PS and C4D are of course pur CPU and will work faster on a faster processor. With regards to the cache stuff, scroll down a few posts and make up your mind...

  • CS6 Project Manager - Copying Files not advancing

    Hello,
    I am about to travel to Europe and I need to bring a CS6 project with me to continue editing on a laptop.
    I choosed "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". Project Manager analyzed the project and started the copying process, although the bar is not advancing and it is now 1h that is stuck at the sasme point.
    The external hard drive tha I am using to export the managed project looks like is writing, but in the project manager window the bar is not advancing.
    The project I am exporting is a full lenght film, and I cannot use the OSX finder to manually create a managed project due to its complexity.
    Here some details about the project:
    -Premiere CS6 is running on a 12cores Mac Pro, 64Gb Ram with 6TB internal raid
    -The external hard drive I am copying the managed project into is a 2TB Glyph e-Sata hard drive (currently showing signs of writing data)
    -The size of the managed project (including 3 sequences) is about 500GB
    -I choosed the option to collect files and Copy to New Location (Glyph Drive)
    -The footage is a mixed timeline of 4K Red and 5K Epic r3d files
    I already tried to abort the process and start ober again, several times but I always end up looking at the Project manager copying files without advancing.
    Any idea?
    I have a flight in 8h and I cannot leave without this project.
    Thanks!!!

    Not all media types can be trimmed.  In this case, Adobe cant write to the proprietary RED codec.  (You notice there's no RED export options.)

  • CS6 Project Manager is not trimming R3D media.

    Hello,
    I am experiencing another problem with CS6 and R3D media.
    I am trying to move a PPCS6 project to an external hard drive in order to send it out for DI work.
    From Project Manager I select "create new trimmed project" with 24 frames handels.
    Once all the files are processed the resulting new project is huge and none of the clips have been trimmed.
    I tried to create a test sequence, with only 2 minutes of editing to see if the problem could have been solved with a fresh new sequence.
    Unfortunatelly I get the same rusults.
    CS6 is giving me several headackes with r3d media. I have been having several Unkown Errors while rendering or exporting different projects.
    Now I realize that CS6 cannot properly archive or copy trimmed projects.
    This is one of Andrew Davis's links that explains the archival process. Unfortunatelly it won't work woth r3d media:
    http://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/Archiving-Projects/1
    Pease let me know If you ever ecountered a solution to this problem.
    If of any help, here is my setup:
    MacPro 12cores
    64GB ram
    RedRocket
    nVidia Quadro
    Media is stored in an Internal raid
    Project Manager is set to export the trimmed project on a regula G-Raid drive with sufficient space and speed
    Thanks!

  • Premiere cs6 unknown error during the project manager operation

    It appears this is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed by Adobe. 
    I remember back in CS3 this was an issue and it still appears to be unresolved.  I'm using a Windows 7, HP Z workstation with Quadro FX graphics card, plenty of Ram, with an efficient RAID system. I need to provide a complete project (with files folder & assets in a central folder - maybe even trimmed assets) to my clients.  The Project Manager create Trimmed Project continually fails, as well as Collect files and Copy to New Location.  Following the Adobe instructions, no screensaver, turn off Premiere Autosave, don't use other programs that will impact machine usage - the results are still the same - unknown error - PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ADOBE ! ! ! ! So my question is, When will Adobe address this issue?

    This forum is mostly other users, with a "few" Adobe employees
    You may need to contact Adobe directly... if some other user does not have a solution

  • "unexpected error" when w export a film from Adobe CS6 Project manager? Help?

    When trying to copy over a production via Project manager to another drive the system seems to be exporting the media etc and at the very end it says "Unexpected Error. Save yoru file and retry." We've done this several times and been on the phone with tech support for eleven hours and no joy.
    Anyone have any ideas? We are on 6.01 and this is still a buggy program.

    Yes,
    I am producing TV shows for FOX TV in LA. We completed editing a 30 minute special for local broadcast. We need to get the piece off of our machine in the contract studio and over to sound so that we can do a sound EQ. I am using the following process.
    Project Manager> Source is the film sequence with a small animation piece> Collect files and copy to a new location (our esternal media/show drive) Includes all files The project size is 125 GB. and resulting project size calculates at 125 Gb.
    We next select OK and the project manager seems to be copying the project to a new location. It takes about 30 minutes and when the time bar reaches 98% it cashes. We get a diaglouge that says "an unexpected error has occured please save and try again."
    We have spent hours on the phone with tech support and gone through a number of ideas inclduing checking for Microsoft conflicts etc. No joy. The machine this is on is not a server. It's a Dell on Windows 7 running 16GB of RAM but no Cuda card.
    We have deadline to meet and this is not helping. If we can;t do this here we will recut the show in FCP on the MAC. I prefer Premiere but at least FCP works.
    Please advise and thank you.

    Im having issues with my project manager in Premiere Pro CS6.  Any suggestions on how to get this to work properly?

    Thanks for all the suggestions.
    I still haven't figured it out and would like to know:
    If I "start over," what's the best procedure?
    Is the Project Manager (or, Mangler?) different in 7.2?
    If not, why can't I find, as suggested, "files type"?
    I can't see that option anywhere, nor can I find any of the other options mentioned.

  • Project manager problems

    Hello

    Each time that I try to save a trim copy of my project an error pops up. "verify disk space and administrator privileges". (sorry translated from French)

    All the programs are legit and originals.
    Thank you all for your answers

    The problem is that video files are big (100Gb/hour). Once I edit and cut with Premiere pro I want to save the trimmed project on a drive to use later on for a Satellite TV station and Internet TV stations.
    The problem I encounter is always the same ... A problem .... blah blah blah ... verify that you have enough free space and you have administrator privileges... (form the French)
    As you can see for this particular project it is 75Gb long I want to save 28Gb and I have more than 300Gb free...
    It's very annoying because project managing is one of the features that adobe is bragging about.

  • Project manager copying issues

    I have a largish project - about 140gb of media (made up of about 20 individual media files).
    Out of this I have edited 15 videos. These are edited onto 15 different sequences (with a nested sequence for each of them as they are multi-cam edits).
    I have used at least a small part of each of the media items in the edits, but there is also a lot of unused footage. I have tried to use the Project manager to make a condensed copy of the project. I have selected all the sequences as 'sources' and have checked the 'exclude unused media' box (to try and condense the size of the project).
    Premiere goes through the process of analysing and copying the media ok (as ion there are no errors during the process), HOWEVER, when I open the condensed project not all of the used media has copied. In the nested sequences some of the clips have grey stripes (diagonal backwards) on them and just show as black in the media viewer.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is this an error?
    Any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks!
    Other info:

    Hi Jim,
    thanks for this information - does that mean that I won't be able to condense any of my AVCHD projects then? That's a shame.

  • Project Management Wishlist (hoping for software or online solutions)

    hi all.
    i've converted the office to mac over the last two plus years and need to put a second level of organization to bed.
    would anyone mind helping me find other websites and/or suggestions on how to get this finalized? apologies for the length and intricacy of the post but THANKS for any help on this! even just one good lead or recommendation (say for FileMaker or one of the Devon tools could help me get moving forward with it and not have to backtrack).
    i work on PROJECTS that seem to need various kinds of data. some notetaking, imagery, url's. pages documents, pages documents printed to pdf, some pdfs that others created, spreadsheets, various creative files such as CAD, photoshop, indesign etecetera - and of course email and text and phone conversations. i would really ideally love to pull all this together but of course i know this is not realistic.
    i also really need to communicate some of this information with clients and have them communicate back to me, right now this is a terrible mess and extremely unproductive with widely dispersed and duplicated information (at a bare minimum).
    i have finally customized my images in Aperture but still need to organize my pdf's and my videos. i also find Spotlight to be rather unhelpful for some items and in reading up on Devon, one of their tools has a /graphic/ search display that somehow shows linked items and whether they have been "read" or not. this kind of VISUAL ORGANIZATION would be absolutely fantastic [http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonagent/overview.html]. i should also add that what i /don't/ want to do is to have to catalog my project file by file and simply DRAGGING and DROPPING files to create a link if my ideal organizational method. tagging items with the GTD tools that i have tested is a non-starter for me and i actually don't even use tags in my Aperture database. i just drag and drop them to an appropriate Project.
    currently an example workflow for my Aperture database is that i POST these images to flickr to let a client see what kind of imagery i am using in their project (but they cannot upload /their/ imagery). nevertheless, this is very convenient because i can simply create an ALBUM in Aperture and drop the (pre-organized) imagery in there and post it to flickr from within the Aperture UI. this is really great but getting this link to a client is a bit of a pain because even flickr Pro uses some silly thing where you have to decide whether the recipient is a "friend" or "family" and ostensibly anyone that gets determined as one or the other can see all the other images in this category. it would be a whole lot better if i could just create an Album for a particular client. of course it would be great to
    in any event -
    in an ideal world (off the top of my head i would like) the ability to create a "Project" in my computer which organizes the following and /also/ allows me to post this to a place where Clients can have a LOGIN and PASSWORD that allows them to both view and UPLOAD information.
    1. bookmarks
    2. pdfs
    3. spreadsheets
    4. contact list
    5. images
    6. other files
    7. a lot that i am forgetting to include here.
    it would also be great to be able to organize PHONE CALLS and TEXTS and EMAILS on my computer so that i can have a record of communication with and FOR this client.

    Ipolucci,
    I am a teacher and so I do not have your needs to really understand your requests.
    That said, I would reccomend you FileMaker Pro and Journler ( currently at version 1.1.62, running by Mac OS X 10.3.9 , the version I have and already in versio 2.0.1 for those who have 10.4).
    The first one is a relational commercial DB of an Apple subsidiary, with several template solutions ( probably one will fill your needs ) and the second one is a freeware, that has integration with Mail, Adress Book, Blogs, Photos, Audio recordings, iTunes and more.
    Just in case does not come anyone else with the complete solution, you should consider a free trial of FileMaker Pro (just released the version 8.5) and take a look at Journler.
    Both at <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/>

  • Adding a New Folder in Project Manager Crashes RH

    For the past few days, I have been having problems creating
    new folders in RH 7, Project Manager. Sometimes, it works just
    fine, and I can add folders, drag topics into them, import into
    them, create new topics, whatever.
    But then sometimes, the project manager just goes to white
    and flashes at me for a while, then RH crashes. The only things I
    can see in the PM pane are the triangular colored icons that
    overlay folders / topic icons when they include conditional build
    tags. No topic names, no folder names, just a column of these
    triangles.
    When I come back into RH after the crash, most times there
    are topics to reimport and / or relocate. I have rebuilt the cpd
    file several times. Each time it seems to resolve the issue, but
    eventually another crash comes along as I try to add a folder.
    For the record, just updated to the new 7.02.001 a few
    minutes ago, but RH just crashed again. 3GB RAM, more than 40GB
    space available on hard drive. Nothing new on my PC that I can
    think of.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has found a cause or solution of this issue?
    I'm experiencing it too with one of my projects (currently, I'm on RH8.02.202 on Win7/64, but I've also experienced it in RH7 on WinXP/32, FWIW).
    Some other details:
    My project is on my C:\ drive.
    The folder names are all comprised solely of alphanumerics and underscores.
    I've deleted both the PSS and CPD files without any noticeable positive effect.
    Since I've been on RH8, the project is set to rebuild the .cpd cache upon opening, but I've also tried deleting it (this might be redundant, but I figured the RH "rebuild" might be different from generating a brand new one).
    After I force RH to close, the folder is there when I reopen the project, and the folder behaves normally.
    The project resides in the standard "My RoboHelp Projects" folder.
    The problem seems to be isolated to this project, which is my largest (~2065 topics in ~85 folders)
    I'm at the point where I just automatically force RH to close after I create a folder rather than waiting to for the application to become "officially" non-responsive.
    Are there any other files I might try deleting or examining?  I've poked around in the .xpj, .fpj, and .hhp files, but I don't see anything odd. I compared my old .pss with the new one RH created, and they were identical.
    Thanks!

  • Can't open project after rebuilding Folders in Project Manager

    I had a corrupted project so I renamed the cpd file.  A lot of Folders in Project Manager were lost, so I recreated the folders and imported all the topics back in.  I added one last Folder back in and RH was having a problem with it (I didn't write down the error message).  It booted me out.  Subsequent attempts to reopen this Project are unfruitful.  The message I get is that a certain folder (not the same one I was adding) will be added back in and needs to be properly deleted from Project Manager.  (I had renamed that Folder, but I did it inside of Project Manager.)
