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...

  • CS5.5 Project Manager not collecting all media

    I am having a problem with the Project Manager in CS5.5.
    Although I have used it succesfully in the past, on a current project I am trying to archive it is not performing correctly.
    The issue is that the Project Manager is not collecting all the video clips when processing the project.
    My project and its assets are contained in a folder and not scattered across my computer or multiple drive. The settings I am selecting are:
    Selecting all sequences (11 in project)
    Create trimmed project
    Exclude unused clips
    90 frame handles
    Save in different folder on different drive
    When I process, I am consistantly missing several video clips. They are a mix of avi and mov clips and they seem to be the same clips each time.
    The clips are located with the other video files. They play just fine in the project but somehow they do not get included and trimmed when processed through the Project Manager.
    Any idea or suggestions are approciated.

    Any ideas? Anyone?

  • Project Manager Issues

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

    RE:
    In The "Project Manager", Click on "Files Type" then
    Function Sub-Menu>Clear Scanned Data. That in
    terms empty the Pref. file for the PM. Afterward
    Just Edit Sub-Menu> Import File Maps only if
    your have data off a previously connected drive.
    There's nothing wrong with the PM as some might
    Claim.
    Also if you can afford it, just reInstall as
    suggested.
    You should consult you manual on this but if confused
    don't hesitate to ask for more help.
    Chap
    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.
    Thanks for all your help.

  • Font issue. Project created in CS5 converted to CS6

    After I open a project I created with cs5 in cs6 the fonts are changed and the position is different.
    Same computer?
      I also noticed the title location on the title editor does not match the title location on the preview monitor.  It shows in the center on the title edit but is to the very far right on the preview monitor. 
    Can I see what fonts were changed? 
    Thanks!!
    Message was edited by: Hardrockchina
    One thing. I do believe that windows was changed from XP to Windows 7.  But I thought I had reinstalled all the same fonts.    Can I see what the original fonts were in the old CS 5 project? 

    I believe that was the OPs line of thinking here.  His question is, how can he find out what font it used to be?  I believe the only way to find out what font is used is to open the project and look, but that font would have to be installed for that to work.  If it isn't, and you don't remember, you're hosed.

  • Project in Premiere CS5 to Premiere CS6 Conversion

    Hello, I have some old projects I made using a trial version of adobe premiere CS5 some time ago. now I upgraded for the trial version of CS6 to edit those videos, but I can't convert the projects. They load but are all empty, 0:00:00 time adn no images. I was thiking about purchasing the CS6 version, but if i can't edit those videos there's no use. Does anybody knows what is happening?
    Kind Regards,
    Daisy.

    I have no problen opening CS5 projects. The info box will want you to save a converted project. Make sure you have all the media available and you might check that CS5 opens the project correctly before saving that and opening the project file in open as CS6.( have both CS5 and CS6 installed in the applications) If all works fine then you can uninstall CS5. Good Luck

  • 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!

  • To Install LR on a second cp do I need to download LR3 then LR5 or can I go right to LR5 also Photoshop cs5 to cs6 extended and Indesign.These are allready purchase in my Personal Manager History?

    Hi Kenton,
    Adding to what James mentioned, this stands true for both Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, you don't need to necessarily install the previous versions but while installing the latest versions, in this case Lightroom 5 & PS CS6, you will need the serial keys for previous versions as well along with the current ones.

  • [CS5] Project Manager Trimming not supported for HDV footage?

    Yes, I have the licensed version of CS5 Production Premium.
    The Premiere Pro "Project Manager" allows you to create a "trimmed" version of your project. That is, only the footage actually used in sequences (along with some handles) is placed in the new, trimmed project. For example, I have a project which uses only 1 second of an 11 second HD Quicktime clip.
    original project folder which includes the clip = 352MB.
    trimmed project folder is = 26MB
    My problem is with a similar project using only a small portion of an HDV clip (M2T):
    original project folder = 232MB
    trimmed project folder = 232MB
    There is nothing I can find int the Adobe help file regarding limitations for HDV files with the trim feature. This problem is not limited to CS5. I experienced it also in CS4 but resolving it was not a priority at the time. But I now have a large number of projects I wish to archive.

    Jeremy, I am assuming that this is harder to solve, because it gets into Premiere and/or the mainconcept codec being used, not providing smart rendering.  You can't just take the middle of an mpeg clip without rendering.  Premiere could do this, but there would be a quality hit.  Is there any chance we will see a more sophisticated approach to mpeg inside Premiere?  And I am also interested in whether the long gop formats are/might be addressed differently from others.
    Todd, here is the CS5 help file that should have this.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c74a .html
    And it does not.
    In earlier versions (I'm still CS3, and I think it was CS3 in which there was this discussion), I found that you could not work around this by creating a subclip.  In fact, the original full clip would be repeated for each instance of the subclip.
    If someone adds a comment to this help entry, and it is a weak attempt, do you edit the comment so that the help file is most useful?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Doubts about upgrading from Production Premium CS5 to CS6

    — I actually have CS5 Production Premium installed on my iMac
    — I recently ordered the upgrade from CS5 to CS5.5 just to have a free path from CS5.5 to CS6 (but I never installed that CS5.5 on my system)
    — Now, with the CS6 installer on my hand, I'm ready to update to CS6, directly from CS5.
    First question, just to be sure: this updater will REMOVE the previous CS5 version, converting it to CS6?
    Second question (since I'm almost sure that the updater will “add” a new version, CS6, maintaining the previous CS5): it's secure to preserve that old CS5 version side by side to the new CS6 on the same computer?
    (I ask this, in prevision, because I plan to maintain CS5 and CS6 for some time, just to have a “lifeguard” in the case that I could suffer some stability problem with the recent launched version).
    Thanks for your support :-)

    Thanks for your quick answer, Manish.
    Hmmm, that sentence “…you may face issue while installing hence have a look on that…” sounds a bit disturbing, to be sincere :-/
    You mean, maybe, that it would be better and safer to delete CS5 before installing CS6, in order to avoid possible installation problems?
    I'm sorry if I seem too afraid, but I would prefer to make a clean and peaceful transition, since I am in the middle of some projects…
    Thanks again for your advices :-)

  • Project manager - problem exporting a project with AE compositions.

    I have a problem exporting my project to another disk, this is what happens:
    I needed to move the project from the windows partition of my Mac to the Mac partition, in order to be able to continue my edit under MacOS, my sequences include a series of After Effects compositions of footage that has been stabilized in warp stabilizer using the option "replace with AE composition" from the timeline.
    Using the project manager I started my backup operation, with these options:
    Source: all sequences selected
    Resulting Project: Collect files and copy to new location
    Include Audio conform files
    Destination: a folder in the Mac partition
    The resulting project had a message popping up saying that AE rpject file is missing (it was, I had to manually copy and paste it from ithe win partition to the mac) and once copied obviously AE couldn't find the source video clips of its compositions, so I had to manually re-link them all  (quite difficult job to do among almost two years of footage).
    What have I done wrong ?
    Why AE lose the connection with the fils?
    Thanks

    Thanks Jim,
    I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software.  I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented.  Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives.  The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix.  As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
    Best,
    Jon
