Project open failure

Any idea on what's going on with when you double-click a project file from finder, it launches After Effects, but the project doesn't actually open, only the application. I'm having the same issue after upgrading to CC. Unless that is just how CC works now?

Thanks Todd, here is a link to a test project. It happens with every project so far that I've opened. I also have AE 10.5.0.253 installed as well. CC is the default and double-clicking on an AE project file will open AECC automatically but not open the project. If I control click on the project file and chose open with CS5.5, it'll launch the program and open the project (if it was a project file created in CS5.5 or older).

Is there a way to have two separate projects open in different windows?

On my old editing software, I could have two separate projects open at the same time. I could copy clips from Project A, click over to Project B, and paste the Project A clips to Project B. Is there a way to have two separate projects open with Premiere Elements, or will I have to just import and trim every clip within the same project?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE will not allow two Projects to be open at the same time. It will also not allow multiple instances of PrE to be open.
The workaround, to accomplish what you describe, is to use a ClipBoard Extender, such as ClipMate, which will allow one to Copy a Timeline, or parts of it, from one Project, then Close that one, to Open another one, and Paste the material, that was Copied. Many users employee ClipMate, or similar, to Copy/Paste material from one Project, to another.
Good luck,

Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

Hi there.
Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
Thanks
-Dan-

Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum. There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another. The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings. You can control the output clips with the "work area bars". You can then add the new clip to the second project. The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality. Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

Wrong project opens when double clicking on a project in project view

This is really weird. I have a personal library that was created by importing my entire iPhoto library and a Pro library that was created by just importing groups of images and folders from one of my drives. Both libraries are 100% managed. When Aperture opens, and my Personal library was the library that was open when I last closed Aperture, this behavior occurs. I go to double click on a project in project view and some other project opens. It's not random either. If I click on the project "Kennesaw Hike" for example, then "Jeremy's Birthday" will open every time.
Now the strange thing is when I go to File, Switch To Library, and choose my Pro Library and then switch right back to my Personal library, the projects in the project view open correctly. Something else that might be related. A few times in the last week when the Personal library was the open library when Aperture was closed last, and then I open Aperture later, it would prompt for my serial number again.
Another tidbit that might be of interest. I recently replaced the drive both libraries were on and copied them both to a new larger drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'd like to add a "me too" to this.

More than one project open at a time?

AFAIK you can only have one DVD studio Pro project open at a time. I've never been sure why (does it have to do with encoding or parsing assets?), but it has always bothered me. Obviously you can in FCP and I just started with Motion, which also has multiple projects open at once. Anyone can shed light?

Is that an iTunes question? Are you sure you posted in the correct forum.

Is there a way to stop users from having multiple projects open at once?

I run a video editing lab and this new feature is causing no end of grief as students on one station decide to 'check out' what others are doing on other stations, then they leave these projects up in the background as they work on their project. Changes aren't saved, sound is lost, projects are corrupted, it's just plain ugly. Since all my stations are in sound proof private rooms, policing them constantly isn't practical. Can I turn this feature off, or do I need to revert to the older version? I need to only have one project open at a time, any advice is most welcome! Thank-you in advance.

Hmmm,
Well, from a logical point of view..
..If all the work is kept on a central server, and each student stores his work there..
..Aren't there limits to prevent 1 student from doing things to another students work ??
Another way to do things [maybe] is to write an Applescript to close sessions other than the student's own ??
How about running Remote, to monitor the students from a central location ??
Just a thought,
Peter

Strange ... Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector.

Strange goings on here with my Libraries: Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector. When, in Projects View, I double-click a Project, that Project's contents are shown in the Browser, but the selection shown on the Library tab of the Inspector remains on "Projects" near the top of the tab.
This is, imho, _very very very bad_. Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine? Is this announced or expected?
Thanks.

Hi Kirby,
I never noticed!
Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine?
Confirmed! (on MBP und iMac)
Is this announced or expected?
Don't know - it does not follow from the release notes, as far as I understand them.

IDVD 4 Pauses During Project Opening

OMG! Someone needs to help me ASAP!!!! I have a nearly completed iDVD project with slideshows, videos, many menus, etc. However, I recently userd the iDVD_Egg to create a disk image and burn it as a test; the test work fine. However, immediately upon trying to continue working on the project, I noticed that the project opens, but opens to a blank screen, not the main menu of the DVD. I can access the main menu and all other menus from the "Map" view. The other issue is that there are no options available from the File menu, such as Save, Save Project As, Archive Project, etc.
Please help. Other project open just fine, and I can create new projects. What do I do? I've tried deleting my plist files and that hasn't helped.
Thanks a ton,
Jake

Hmmm....try setting the permissions as outlined in this Apple Article:

Project opens/closes immediately

I have a couple of project files that will open just long enough for me to glimpse the timeline and browser data then it closes with the message that Final Cut has closed unexpectedly (the same old "closed unexpectedly" notice you get for anything like that). I can tell that the information is there including all my edits and sequences.
Does anyone have a trick or tool to help restore these project files?

Its a tricky one for sure.
The fact that the app and project opens long enough to display for just a moment suggests that its not a corruption problem with the project file itself. I was hoping that by taking the media offline you could force FCP to load the project despite what I assumed to be a source media or render file corruption, but if you've already eliminated ALL the source video and audio media, stills, graphic elements, music tracks and all the audio and video render files etc then that seems not to be the case.
What might be happening is that FCP is crashing as soon as it tries to display the contents of the video under the playhead in the open sequence, but rather than corrupt media/renders causing the crash it might be a filter trying to render at the playhead position that is causing it ... are you using any third party filters in your piece?
Do you have anything else info wise that you could add to the puzzle? At what point did these project files stop working? Are they old projects from earlier versions of FCP? If so, how old?
On another tack, do you have any old backups or autosaves of this project that you can still open, if so, at what point in your edit do they stop working? Do you remember what you did that day that might give a clue as to the problem? Did you suffer any power outage, unexpected crash or anything that could possibly have corrupted any of your data?
If you like, go ahead and zip up your project file and drop it onto my iDisk and I'll take a look and see if I can open it over here. You can access my iDisk public folder from your Go menu in the Finder ... choose *Go > iDisk > Other User's Public Folder...* and enter andymees as the Member Name

Project opens as relative

When I open a project in LabView 2009 it opens as a relative location based on the network drive \\ server \ stuff
This is brand new behaviour that started today.
I can go to the Recent projects on the splash screen and retrieve the projects as they had been opened as absolute "s:\"
When it opens as relative, I cannot build the project, but when I open it from the recent projects ("s:\") it does build.
This behaviour does not happen on my colleagues installation of LabView.
He still gets absolute folders.
Why are my projects opening as relative?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Solutions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Could it be a number of things. Perhaps your PC lost the network mapping of the S: drive. Or Windows just wants to reassign it to the full network share. It may not build because the longer network path is too long for the application builder to handle compared to the shorter path when it is know as s:\.
Why are you opening the project from a network drive? In general, working on files and projects from the network is a lot less reliable. You should only store backup copies on the network and only actively work from a copy that is located on your local PC hard drive.

Integrate project open (third party tool for time sheet management) in EP

Hello Experts,
I have third party tool for time sheet management (Project Open) and EP7.0 SP17. I tried to integrate third party tool with portal by using the App integrator. But it is not working properly. Again and again its asking authentication. I followed same steps to integrate this tool by using App integrator in portal.

What i made mistakes in this, please help me.

Save/Autosave with multiple projects open?

For one show our editor is working on, she may have upwards of almost 6-7 projects open at any one time.
An odd thing happened where her computer crashed, and her last autosave was from one hour ago. It's odd because the autosave time is set to occur every 30 minutes.
But aside from that, does a 'Save All' command save all open projects? Or does it perhaps only save projects with open sequences?
What about autosave? Does it autosave anything that's open, or only certain projects?
Does the time it takes to complete an Autosave equivalent to the time it would take to normally 'save' a project?

Autosave should save all open projects. once it reaches the limite for the number of saves, it should throw away the oldest ones as it creates new ones. I'm not sure what it does when it reaches the limit for the number of projects. perhaps check this preference.
It sounds though as if autosave has stopped doing its thing for some reason. This seems to happen with even the most current versions of FCP from time to time. I have no idea why. Trashing prefs should get it to work correctly again.
Hope this helps -

Any way to have two DVD SP projects open at the same time?

Hi
Since it is likely that I'm going to re-build all the menues in my PAL DVD in a new NTSC project, I'd like to know if there is any way for me to have two separate DVD Studio Pro projects open at the same time. That way I can easily check and copy location coordinates for the buttons, copy text, etc, etc.
When I open my new project when the old still open, DVD SP just closes the old and opens the new project.
If it was possible, it would make everything much easier for me, since I have 15 menues to re-create
Thanks!

If you just require a visual reference, you can take screen grabs of your first project and open them in Preview...
Open your project, and press Shiftcommand(apple)4 and the pointer turns into a little cross-hair.... you then click-hold & drag a marquee around the section of the screen you need as reference, then when you release the mouse button a screen grab is taken of that portion you selected.
It will be saved to your desktop as 'Picture 1'
you can repeat this for different sections of the project (picture 2, picture 3 etc), and open them in preview.
Not an ideal solution, but might be of help.

Application crashes on project open

Hi all
So I've been working on a project for the last two days (on a mac). I had replaced a clip on the timeline with an After Effects comp, no problem. I shut down AE then hit render in PP CS5.5 and it just hung, after a long time I killed PP. Now when I open up the project it crashes when loading (on the status bar crashes on item 481 every time). What's weird is all of my auto saves crash as well at the same spot. I figured the original clip that I had been working on in AE may be damaged, so I moved it out of the folder and hit the Offline button during project load when it looked for the clip, no dice. So then I removed all the preview and files from the encoded folder, still no dice. I've basically now got just my .prproj file and my footage, even an older auto save untouched from earlier and just footage yet it still crashes at the same item. All my other projects open fine.
Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
Cheers!

Here's some extra info. I should note that it doesn't actually crash on project open. The project opens fine and I'm able to see my timeline but after a few seconds it's pop up with the following error:
Error:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
/Scully64/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Make/Mac/../../Src/Clip/MasterClip.cpp-2802
I can recover my project by exporting to FCP and reimporting but I lose all clip settings and effects which is a major pain to re-do.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try?
Cheers
