I treid again, i even restarted my macbook pro, and reopened the project, couldnt see or hear the project once lost... whats going on? what do i do? i need to finish this by tomorrow..... ug

Hi
Have no real hope for the old DVD project but would in Your situation start by
• Trashing iDVD pref file
and hope that it will help
Else
I would start iDVD - but keep alt-key down during up-start - Then Select to do a Brand New iDVD Project.
The old project might got corrupted - and if so it's lost as far as I understands it
AND !
• FREE SPACE ON Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH is there ?
I never go less than 25GB - when using interlaced SD-Video material
I guess that 4-5 times more will be safe if HD-material is used
Free space on other external hard disks - OF NO interest at all - the space must be on Boot one.
Yours Bengt W

Project wont open anymore

Hey you all,
I want to add some changes to one of my projects in Imovie. But the project I'm working on wont open anymore in the library. I can play it, but I can't click the button 'change project' anymore. And it's only the case of this one particular project. Have I locked something? How do I undo this?
Cheers for helping!
Stef

FCP PROJECT WONT OPEN DUE TO BORIS TITLE PLUG IN

Not sure if anyone else has had this but have been working on a project in the fcp 7.0.1 for 4 weeks now with no trouble at all and have just tried to open it. It will not open at all and keep coming up with an error log with the following title: FINAL CUT PRO UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT WHILE USING THE TITLE CRAWL PLUG-IN
Any ideas as i am scratching my head over this one.
thanks
simon

Simon,
I have also been suffering from crashes and shut-downs attributed to Boris FX plug-ins.
Someone far more experienced in FCP suggested that I download and run a 'preference manager': http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
There may well be other products out there ... however, I did just that and deleted my prefs ... so far (fingers crossed) things seem to be OK.

Imovie project wont open/publish

Ive used imovie for a while, and its been fine. But i just opened a project, closed it, then opened imovie again, but i now cant open the project, when i click on it the picture shows its corrupted? What can i do?
i then renamed the project, and it opened, but did not play, so i tried exporting it. when exporting, it stopped and read an error message
Unable to prepare project for publishing
This project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-2009)
I then tried it again, and instead of (-2009) coming up, it was (-50)
Does anyone know what this means? Its urgent !

I have a similar experience with the same error message -50.
HOw do we get HELP!?

Project wont open, External drive gone

A series of terrible problems:
I have been working on an imovie project that froze this evening. I force quite, and when I reopened iMovie, my project didnt show up. I saw it on the external drive it was on, but it wouldnt open no matter what I did. I copied it to the main drive, burned it onto a disc, but it wouldnt open. For some reason I thought mayb the external drive was corrupted so I ran DISKWARRIOR. It found several errors and I rebuilt the directory. But now, for some reason, after Diskwarrior is done, the drive is now called "untitled" and has only a folder called "rescued items". All my folders are gone. What is going ON!

I figured out the problem. As you assume, Tom, the "Other" folder causes no problem. Rather, SuperDuper! had for some reason changed the drive permissions. While it made it "read and write" for "System" and "wheel," it made the drive "read only" for "everyone." I changed it to "read and write" for "everyone" and now it loads as before.
I feel obligated to say, for anyone who reads this, that since this was a problem with disk permissions, I don't think FCPX is really to blame.
The frustration expressed above is certainly warranted, but it is warranted, not in regards to this particular problem, bu rather by FCPX being so inadequate with media management in general, expecially its being unable to reconnect media manually or change the media connections to different files (such as if you make a color-graded version of a source file and want to switch timeline connections to it). My inference that this problem was connected to the program's inadequacies in this regard was mistaken. However, it was not really an unwarranted inference!
Thank you for your prompt and knowledgeable help, Tom!

Project wont open in current window

I built several projects and one links to another, I embedd
the first project into my course window in my LMS and it plays it
that window, when it links to the next project I am calling up it
launches, but in a new window, rather than in the current window. I
have specified to open the new project in current window on the
last slide of the first project, but still opens a new webpage. My
LMS will not use the HTM file, so I am using the swf file directly
with the skin. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Rick
Thanks for that. I probably didn't explain myself very well.
I am happy with the exe files opening in different windows it is
the html files that is the problem. The three menu files are all
html files and it is when moving between these that the multiple
window problem arose. I say 'arose' because following my message I
went back to try yet again and found that if I put all the files on
the CD without any being in a folder AND in the Advanced dialogue
box of the Text Properties - where the Link is defined - clicking
on the 'Apply to All links' button, then the menus actually open
using the same window; or at least, the sub menus do, the Main menu
window remains open with the Main menu in it. I have spent so long
messing around with this that I am going to have to settle for that
outcome I think.
All very confusing really!!

Wont open my project

i have been working on a project all week and im finished with it now. im ready to export the movies and now my project wont open it says its unreadable or is for a newer version of Final Cut. but im using the same one i made it in.
help please

Close FCE and Repair Permissions. Reboot the machine. Instead of launching FCE and opening the project, go to the project's .fcp file and double click. If not, after making sure FCE is not running, find and trash the FCE preferences. Reboot and launch FCE.

Project in FCE HD wont open

all of a sudden, my project wont open in FCE HD. I was literally working on the project a minute before. and i guess i saved it and closed it. but then i tried to open it again and it says it cant open it. all the settings are the same. the HD is on and running. so why would it do that all of a sudden?
thanks

Trash your preferences, then go and find your render files and trash them.If you media is on a separate drive, unmount the drive and try to open the project without the media. If the media's on your system drive, move it to another drive, and then try to open the project. Most likely some file, probably a render file, has gotten corrupted. You have to try to isolate which file it is.

Can't upgrade anymore but file still wont open?

As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

Fcpx wont open project

The"body party" project i am working on just wont open. the even folder shows up but i only see the title information for the actual project. when i try to open it the program crashes. Ive been working on coloring the project with the mlooks 2 plugin those were the last changes i made. i also have other projects on the same hard drive and they are fine.

In the Finder open up the project folder. Open up Backups folder and drag the file that is inside it to the same level in the folder hierarchy as the CurrentVersion file. Hide the Current Version file in a temp folder. Rename the backup file CrrentVerion.fcpproject.
Launch FCP and see whether project opens.

Project file wont open

Help.
I cant open my Premiere Pro project files. After renaming some of the source files now Premiere says 'file format not supported' when I try to open. The same computer and program generated these files. I know I have to relink the media but any ideas why it wont open the project files?
TNX
Premier Pro 7.0

Are these MPEG, or VOB's? If so, this Adobe KB Article might help.
If they are M2t files, then this ARTICLE might help.
If none of the above, please tell us the full details of your Assets and also you Project Presets.
Good luck,

Itunes, Imovie, Final Cut ALL WONT OPEN

So i have recently deleted my quicktime, and then I tried to re-install.
When i tried to re-install, It told me that quicktime was already on my computer so i went and searched for allll quicktime components i could find and trashed them, thinking i could completely remove it that way and then re-install.
Now, my ITUNES, my IMOVIE and my FINAL CUT, well basically anything that uses video or audio wont open at all. It says it quit unexpectedly but it doesnt open in the first place.
I SOMEHOW managed to install quicktime 7 but it wont open either. I guess i deleted something important, I just wish i knew what it was so i could try and restore it.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I need these applications for school, etc. HELP
(Time Machine NOT set up)

You now need to reinstall your entire operating system from the original install disks.
You will also have to reinstall all Apple applications that install "add-on" QT components, as well as, any third-party components you may require. Depending on your specific method of re-installation, you may also have to purge PLIST files as well. If you really messed with the QT structure imbedded in the OS rather than simply deleting player apps and components that support the imbedded structure externally, I personally would back up all projects and data files I wanted to keep and then wipe and test the hard drive before performing a complete "clean" install. And, even if you only deleted the superficial apps and suppornt components, you will likely have to re-install the packages that would replace everything you've removed and stil may have to purge the PLIST files to get the replaced apps to open properly. Even then, you may come across some broken links to certain components owing to some apparent inconsistancies the in installation/re-installation and software upgrade work flow. (E.g., you may end up with the wrong or a non-functioning iMovie '08/'09 "AppleMPEG2Codec.component" being installed.) In short, as Klaus1 indicated, you may have opend a real "can of worms" from which it may be difficult to extricate yourself.
