"Save a copy" crash

Intermittently I am experiencing crashes that occur when I interact with the timeline, either clicking and dragging the playhead, clicking to a new time altogether, or selecting a different footage item.
The crash starts as a "Save a Copy" window prompt, and whether I do save a copy or cancel, the program closes with the Windows Error reporting.
When I try to restart AE, nothing happens. I found that the AfterFX.exe process is still running and will not quit no matter how many times I hit End Process.
A reboot is then necessary to clear the slate. Anyone else experiencing similar? My project is fairly simple I thinkjust a few graphics, QT movie and audio. I'm using minimal effects, though I suspect FEC Light Sweep (v5.1) may be contributing.

Yes, CS3, sorry. QT is 7.5.5.
I worked on it yesterday for a few hours without incident. I also recall an issue with an earlier version of the Light Sweep plug-in and multiprocessors.
I'll have to see if I can dig that up.
Thanks for the replies.

  • MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

    This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
    The situation:
    A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
    MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
    The issue:
    Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
    The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
    Attempted fixes:
    Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
    Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
    Definitive fix:
    By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
    I hope this helps someone else.

    That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

  • How do i save a copy of my emails on the server on a macook pro? I am having a problem when using hotmail on my new macbook, they say it is set pop3? i have not idea what this means!

    I am not very good on computers and need help, I have lost past history emails when i have used hotmail on my new macbook, they say it is not set right but i do not understand! they say I need to ensure the box 'save a copy to the server' is ticked but they can not help me locate this and I have no idea what to do, can anyone talk me through this please?

    Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

    I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
    But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
    know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
    You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
    How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
    Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
    From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
    Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
    But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
    Is all of the above correct so far?
    If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
    a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
    b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
    Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
    c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
    setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
    I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
    your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
    so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
    Thanks.

  • How To Save Jpeg Copy As Action

    Hi - how do I create an action that saves my open image as a jpeg copy in the same directory as the original? Rather than save as export I am doing a straight 'Save As...' and then selecting the jpeg option. When you do this the 'save as copy' is greyed out. If I 'Save As..' but before changing to jpeg, whilst it is a PSD file I can select 'save as copy', then select the jpeg option. Whilst the box is greyed out it is still ticked. However it still does not save as a copy, but overwrite the original.
    Any clues? Using CS5.

    Hi.
    You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+S (save as copy) when recording the action to add copy to the name.
    There's an obvious one I missed. This solves a problem lurking in the action. Duplicate preserves the original name (plus "copy").  But the Save dialog will open to the spot recorded in the action. Not the source document folder. You might have to navigate to the right folder. So in this statement,
    The file should be saved to the same folder...
    needs a small correction. Change "should" to "probably won't".
    Using "Duplicate" severs the ties between the original document and the copy. Alt+Ctrl+S retains that link and the Save dialog opens the right folder.  If your Save step isn't conditional, the new file will be named Original Name plus "copy.jpg". So the action gets really simple.
    1. Ctrl+Alt+S. With Format set to Jpg.
    Thanks, MTSTUNER.
    Peace,
    Lee

  • Why does PS CS5 (12.0.4) write to original file when I 'save as copy'?

    Here's the scoop: I open a PS file. I chose 'Save As' but uncheck 'Show Layers' in the dialog box. So now it's essentially a 'Save A Copy'. When the new file is saved the original file is written to (although nothing changed) and now has the same modification date as the 'Save A Copy' file. Super strange and causing issues. Because if one flattens or does anything to the original file, those changes are baked into the original file!
    Any ideas? Thanks, in advance.

    I've checked with CS5.1 and the original file isn't being written to here on OS X 10.6.8 when a copy is written. The only file that's written to is the one named in the Save As dialogue. I don't know what to suggest, sorry.
    Edit: I see you have 12.0.4 - CS5. You can probably ignore my post since a fix to your problem may have been made in CS5.1.

  • How to prevent the "save a copy" option

    using Acrobat Pro 7.0
    When I set the security to "don't allow editing", and open the pdf  with Acrobat reader, the save button is disabled, as expected.
    But when I place this same pdf on a webpage, using code shown below, when the pdf displays within the browser, a "Save a copy" button allows the file to be saved. How do I prevent my file from being saved when I show it in the webpage ?  I only want the user to view my pdf on a web page - not saving and  printing.
    <a href="test.pdf">test </a>
    Also, what is the best way to present a pdf in a website
          a) use a href link
          b) use the save as html option ? (this does not do a good job when the pdf has images)_

  • Save As Copy to WebDAV folder does not work

    Hi,
    In Windows XP with latest reader (9.3.3), I cannot perform "Save As Copy" to a WebDAV folder. Contents of the folder is blank in the Save As dialog, and clicking the save button shows the following error:
    "You Cannot Save in the Folder You Specified. Please Choose Another Location."
    I was convinced that it was because Reader used the old dialog that doesn't support WebDAV as described here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265867/en-gb
    However, I then discovered that when doing the same from Windows 7 and Windows Vista, I do not experience this problem. I have since made a clean install Windows XP to a virtual PC for testing, and I get the same problem.
    I found from one source that the web server should have Reader installed to register the MIME type for IIS. I installed it but to no avail.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards.

    NB: I am using the built-in WebDAV client in Windows XP (Add Network Place with WebClient service started).
    Also have a thread open on the IIS site:

  • Is it possible to save a copy of a PDF form created in Livecycle Designer ES3?

    Hey,
    I've created a form using the trial version of Livecycle ES3 however when I view the form I get this message:
    "you cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like to keep a copy for your records."
    Is there a way around this/ is this just with the trial version? If I download the full version will the forms then be saveable?
    I don't want to send out the form to people unless they are able to save a copy as I think that this could cause issues.
    Answers much appreciated!

    If you use the File > Distribute Form this does allow recipients to save data entered into the form.  However, beware of the following points:
    1.  File > Distribute Form will take you through a process to gather information about your preferences for distribution including destination email addresses.  Once you have gone through this process, subsequently there is no option to change or reset any of the original inputs.  For example, if you wish to change the destination email address, you need to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category.  The email address can be changed there.
    2.The File > Distribute Form, seems to make other changes to the PDF too, because it uses the email address entered when Distribute Form is first used, to submit the PDF by email.  If you have an email submit button in your form, like I did, this does not work any longer in Adobe Reader.  Clicking it now simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit does work in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.

  • In Elements 13, when trying to save, I get this message:Could not save a copy as "agb3_2014:09_054.tif" because the file name was not valid.

    Hi:
    I use Nikon NX2 then save as a TIFF file then do final editing in Elements.  With Elements 8, I could then save as a JPEG file and upload to Flickr.  With Elements 13, I get this message and cannot save:
    Could not save a copy as “agb3_2014:09_054.tif” because the file name was not valid.
    I note the colon (:) in the file name.  I did not place it there.  It is some automatic save.  Typically I save as 2014/09
    It is probably some setting I need to adjust but I am stumped.  All help is welcome.
    Thanks

    Don't use the slash, either. Stick to no punctuation except dashes and underscores for safety's sake. Other punctuation usually has another meaning in code.

  • Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

    I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
    I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
    "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
    I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
    I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
    I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
    I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
    Nothing seems to fix it.
    The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

    Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
    To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
    The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
    If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
    The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
    First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
    Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
    Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
    Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
    Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
    Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
    Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
    I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
    On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

  • "Could not save a copy because the file is already in use..."

    I have read previous discussions of this issue, but nobody suggested a solution. Sometimes when I use the Save As command to save an open file with the same name as an existing Photoshop file that is not currently open, I get the dreaded message: "Could not save a copy because the file is already in use or was left open."
    When this happens, I have to save my open file using a different filename, then change the name in the Finder after manually deleting the original file with that name. This happened occasionally in Photoshop CS3, and is now happening more frequently in CS4. If no one can offer a solution, can someone please tell me if there is a way to officially submit a bug report? The simple truth is that Photoshop costs way too much for a well-known problem like this one to be hanging around version after version. Adobe really needs to fix this and I'd like to tell them so. Thanks!

    I've run into this and I'm convinced it's not Adobe. Whenever I've gotten around the problem it's often something from Apple that got in the way.
    I use a simple workaround when Finder/QuickLook isn't letting go of the file. First use a free utility like TinkerTool or Onyx to turn on the Quit command in the Finder. Whenever the Finder gives you trouble, if closing the Finder window in question doesn't solve it, just do the ol' Command-Q. It's a little faster (and maybe safer?) than force-relaunching the Finder. This usually releases files for me when all else fails; it also often cures the annoying "can't eject the volume because it's in use" messages when you've already quit every program you can find.
    There's the question of why Photoshop and not others; I'm not an engineer but I think the sheer size of Photoshop files is a factor. In one instance I noticed that quicklookd was using a lot of RAM, and QuickLook has been implicated by an earlier post in this thread. It isn't unusual for a Photoshop file to be very large compared to other types of documents. It's possible that when QuickLook hits a large Photoshop file, and it does its normal thing of generating a big preview for it, it could get tied up reading that huge image long enough to block another program. Sometimes it seems like QuickLook just hangs on them. When it happens, you can try looking at Activity Monitor to see if something like QuickLook, Spotlight, or some other program is using an unusual amount of CPU or RAM.
    Apple Mail (at least in 10.5) is another major offender by the way. If you attach a file to Apple Mail it will hang on to it as "open" even after you remove the attachment. Other programs will not be able to write to the file that was attached or formerly attached. Nothing short of quitting Apple Mail will make it let go of the file. You'll notice it when you delete a JPEG, PDF, Word doc (definitely not just Photoshop) attachment because you realize you need to make a change and attach it again. Attempting to export an updated one over the old one is blocked until Apple Mail is quit.
    In my experience I think what Chris says is true.
