Saving projects as QT files

When I attempt to save projects as QT files, the audio information seems to be missing although I checked the box for "include audio source file".
Does anyone know why? And which preference I need to set to save the project so that the audio information isn't missing? This doesn't seem to be a problem when I save the audio information ONLY.

back to the QT file-
By doing this, then one has to RECOMPRESS the QT file again- whereas I just want to save a new audio track along with the QT file as I don't want to lose another generation by recompression.
I think the problem is that I just want to change the audio on the QT file- but when attempting to save the QT file- the audio component is missing. Is there a way to remedy this without having to recompress the QT file?

Saving Projects and Organizing Files

I am having trouble storing my Sites in folders and accessing
them after I've done so. As described in the DW tutorial, I saved
the test Site (Cafe Townsend), to a folder called Local_Sites.
However, when I created a NEW Site and also tried to Save it in the
Local_Sites folder, DW told me that it would create a conflict. (In
Windows you can save many documents to one folder. Can I only save
one Site to a folder in DW?) To get around the problem, I created a
folder called Local_Sites2. When I named my next Site ("Exciting
Web Site"), and put it in Local_Sites2, and moved my mouse over the
folder, DW showed a long path (C:/........), and showed the name as
"Local_Sites2/Exciting Web Site." Finally, at other times when I
looked for a Site that I created it didn't show in DW dialog boxes.
(I notice that some folders show as green, and some as yellow). I
would like to be able to store my Sites correctly, give them root
names I intend, and retrieve the sites when I want to. Any ideas
would be appreciated. Thanks.

It would not be out of place to say that the F1 Help files
have a full and
comprehensive explanation of sites, and how to define
them....

Saving project as MP4 file or .mov file

I want to burn my finished project as a DVD but my burning program needs it to be in a .mov or MP4 format. Can I save my project as such??

kevinbwatkins
Thanks for the reply.
The project file is the project.prel. You cannot change the project file (project.prel file) into a project.mp4 or project.mov file.
But, what is possible is to export the Timeline content of that project.prel file to a file whose format has a .mp4 or .mov file extension.
For Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, I would suggest
for the .mp4
Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 NTSC DV Widescreen - using default export settings
for the .mov
Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9 - using default export settings
If you have a HD source on your Timeline and your destination is a DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc, you forced into the
properties of the DVD-VIDEO product, namely 720 x 480 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (with 16:9 flag stretching
the 720 x 480 to 856 x 480 for display after encoding).
But, if you have a HD source in this project that just produced the DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc, you can opt to export
a file with the same resolution as the DVD or export to a file with a resolution comparable to the HD source. Please clarify and
we can fine tune the suggested export setting accordingly.
Thank you.

Where is the .m2v menu file located for saved projects?

Hi, i've done this before, but seem to have forgotten...I was wondering where is the location of the .m2v files of a saved project. The reason why i would like to find the .m2v file, is so i could convert the .m2v to .dv in order to create a menu on motion. From my remembering, the menu file could possibly be under the project file under "show package contents", but i seem to not have any success of looking for it recently. Can anyone help verify where the menu files are located?
thanks for your time.

i've burned the project and looked at the contents of the dvd and found a file with a .evo extension, would this have any relation to my question?

evo is HD DVD file, not SD, so this may not apply (and you probably want to double check your project settings.)
The items that DVD SP makes are in the PAR & MPEG files in a folder in the level where the assets are located, and if you do the show package contents on the project and look in the Render Data Folder what you are looking for should be there (when DVD SP has to render, there are some times it will not have to render)- Check out the manual DVD SP 4 (Pg 230 of the PDF) for certain instances (not all) where menus willl have to be compiled/rendered
To do the show packkage http://dvdstepbystep.com/ira/ shows how to do it, just Highlight the DVD SP saved project (instead of the app intself) as shown in Step 1 on that link, then drill down

Why are iDVD saved project files so large if the media is not archived with it?

I now understand the difference (I think) between a saved project and an archived project, but I would expect my saved project files to be smaller in size. Are there really some hidden media files that it still can access (or that I can find)?

If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

A few other suggestions here as well:

My iBook project will not open. It is saved as an .iba file.

I Am in the middle of making an iBook project but it will not open. It is saved as an .iba file. When I go to open it it says it can't be openEd is there anything I can do to open it?

Your post says you are using iMovie 08. In iMovie 08, a Project must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder of the startup drive. You can move it there in the Finder.
For Events, it sounds like the other Mac sees them. Hopefully, you moved them to the external drive from within iMovie. If so, once you move the project to the proper spot, all should be well.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09 or iMovie 11, you can have the Project files on the external drive as well.

Prel 13 saved project files will not open, or Prel stops working.

         Sandgrass-Saved files of Prel 13 projects will not open in Prel 13. Is there any way to reclaim/alter these files to where they will open? Could there be a missing codec?
        My computer—Hpe 580t, Win 7 Professional 64-bit OS with second internal 1 TB hard drive;
           Intel R Core, TM i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHz,      RAM 9.00GB
All of my clips and stills were taken on my Nikon CoolPix P500. They will import just fine from PSE organizer or from Prel 13 organizer and I can edit just fine. The trouble seems to be when I attempt to open the saved project files for further editing or adding movie theme and scene markers for a 54-minute movie.
                   I have tried opening from within Prel 13 and from the stored files on my Data Drive E:. Prel opens the project and tries to load; then an error msg appears: “Premiere Elements has stopped working. Windows will close the program and let you know if a solution is found”, or an error message says "Cannot open:---this file is not compatible with Pre"l. Only one copy of several edited and rendered copies of the project will open, and I am very afraid to touch it until someone can maybe suggest a solution. I tried saving copies of the one working file, but none of them will open. Thank you for your assistance.      Sandgrass

LionkillerArt
Did you say that you were working on Windows or Mac? For now, assuming Windows,
1. Go to the Adobe Folder in Documents (should be there unless you changed the default).
2. Locate the project.prel file of interest in Adobe Folder/Documents Folder/Premiere Elements Folder/11.0 Folder. Inside the 11.0 Folder, among some folders and other files, are the project.prel files if you did not do any special organization. Right click the project.prel of interest and select Open With, followed by Premiere Elements 10. Does the project now open?
Do you have any versions of Premiere Elements on your computer except this Premiere Elements 10?
Have you deleted or moved any of the source media that went into your project after you saved/closed any of these projects? Where are your source media stored? If on an external hard drive, is the drive letter of that drive changing on its own?
What happens if you rename one of the problem project.prel files in the Adobe Folder and then try to open it from there?
Just some thoughts for now.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thanks.

Does WaveBurner save Audio files in a folder when saving project???

Does WaveBurner save Audio files in a folder when saving project??? If not Apple please add this in a update. WaveBurner needs to be reworked majorly!!! look at CD Architect!!!! It's what WaveBurner should be!!!!
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/cdarchitect

Chapter 7 is Working with Projects. The section is Setting Project Properties>Handling Project Assets. Page 180. This shows you where to find File>Project Settings>Assets. It also has a link to Chapter 43 which has more detail about project settings.
When you first save a project, look at the bottom. A check box exists for "include assets." If checked, several options are made available.

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red (both are offline). Attempts at relink result in a warning that the audio will be deleted (which is does when tested).
This project is based on a multicam sequence (2 video files) and using Pro CC (latest Cloud build).
Anyone come across this and/or have a solution? Thanks in advance.

Appreciate your assistance and guidance Mark. Yes, I am a newbie on this forum - and fairly new to premiere pro though have used elements since version 4. I'll answer your leads below.
First off, some bookkeeping & jargon matters:
"you reported the file extension (.mts) but not the codec of the video therein. AVCHD?"
.mts files are Sony AVCHD files. filmed with Sony NXCAM NXU5 camera.
"re: the version you're on, rather than simply stating "the latest," it helps to report the exact version numbers as shown in the About box. That not only avoids any confusion today but also aids customers who come upon a thread months from now."
Version is 7.2.0
"you refer to "rendering" to a new format. I know that "render" is the right term in some NLEcosystems, but with Premiere we distinguish between rendering and exporting/encoding. Rendering is reserved for creating preview files for smoother playback within PPRO, whereas exporting/encoding covers writing a sequence out to an output clip."
My bad - I exported/encoded the sequence to a new output clip.
Now back to our regularly scheduled troubleshooting. Three questions:
did you start this project in CC7.1 and then update to 7.2/7.2.1 along the way?
I started this in 7.2.0
are either of the clips in the multicam sequence spanned?
I don't know what "spanned" refers to
I gather that you created the multicam sequence via the new workflow in the Project panel: select the clips, right-click>CreateMulticamSourceSequence. Am I right?
Correct
If so, please create a new sequence, set the timeline to insert sequences as individual clips (via the left-most button under the timecode control), add the multicam sequence to the new sequence, and post a screenshot of the timeline.
Now all of a sudden I am able to open my project file(s) as before with no problems.... very curious.
I did this and then could not find my multicam sequence.... so no screen shot... BUT what happened?
thank you for your guidance with this.

Saving project file error

Whenever i add a video peephole effect to a clip or a still-photo and then try to save the project, I get the "saving project" window with the "saving project file" timer thing (?) continuously indictating it is trying to save, but it never stops. I end up having to force-close Imovie without saving any changes??

If your PowerBook is that new, then I would imagine that you do have the proper card.
To find out, click on the little Blue  in the upper left hand corner of the desktop. Then click on "About This Mac". Then "More Info..."
The System profiler will open and you then click on "Graphics/Display"

Can I edit FCE projects when the files are on a External HD?

Hello,
I've recently reinstalled Snow Leopard. Since I have a clean start, I'm thinking about new ways to manage my video files for FCE editing.
Video projects take up most of the space on my HD, so I'd like to keep them on an external drive this time.
Is working on FCE projects while all the video files are saved on an external drive a bad idea? Or will this work out just fine? This way I don't have to first save them to my internal HD, finish the project, move video files to the external HD, and point FCE to where they're saved again. There just on the external HD from the start and while I'm editing the video! I can get a HD with firewire too.
Thanks.

Error messages during XML import of Project Pro 2010 files

Hi folks,
I'm trying to diagnose a couple of sick Project Pro 2010 files loaded from Project Server by saving them locally as XML files and then reimporting (not connected to the server during import). The anomalous behavior exhibited by both files
is that one takes 15 minutes to load from the server, while another takes over 20 minutes. These are not typical load times for this server. In both cases, Project consumes about 25% of the CPU during the load process. There's little network I/O
while this goes on, and when externally linked schedules are loaded to the cache, they load very quickly. Other than the long load times, the schedules appear to be behave normally, except for some very odd print preview behaviors in one of the schedules
that I asked about in a different thread (among other things, the default print preview start date is 17 years after the default finish date, and the finish date is about 11 years before the schedule actually starts).
The questions I'm asking here are about errors I see when I try to import the files exported as XML, and whether they might provide any clues as to what's causing the load time issues.
When attempting to import one of the files saved as XML, a pop-up appears that says, "The actual finish date is before some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. If you continue with this operation, Project will truncate
some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. To continue, click OK..."
When attempting to import the other file saved as XML, I get a series of pop-ups identifying a series of tasks that say, "The timephased edit will cause 'Develop Requirements Review Meeting Mi...' to start before 'Conduct Requirements Review"
finishes. As a result the task link cannot be honored. You can: () Continue. Keep the timephased edit and ignore the link. () Cancel. Ignore the timephased edit. (OK/Cancel/Help)".
Interestingly, both files contain external Project Server predecessor / successor links. In the case of the first file, the XML import just appears to strip those out. In the case of the second file, I get a long series of pop-ups (with
some buggy text inserts) in pairs. The first message in the pair is typically "An import error occurred. The element <PredecessorLink> in the <Task> element with <UID>=611 has invalid data. Verify that the file
name and path are correct, and then try again. (OK)", where the indicated UID varies. The second pop-up in the pair appears to have a buggy text constructor and looks like this, with "[stet]" indicating the apparent buggy text inserts,
"An import error occurred. The element [stet] Verify that the file name and path are correct, and then try again. [stet] in the 309 element with <UID>=7 has invalid data. [stet] ^4 (OK)"
In the second pop-up of the pair, the "xyz element" varies, but the "<UID>=7" reference and "^4" are consistent. In the XML, UID 7 appears to refer to a calendar, a task which includes a number
of entries similar to:
<TimephasedData>
<Type>24</Type>
<UID>7</UID>
<Start>2014-10-03T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2014-10-04T08:00:00</Finish>
<Unit>2</Unit>
<Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
</TimephasedData>
... and to an assignment:
<Assignment>
<UID>7</UID>
<TaskUID>10</TaskUID>
<ResourceUID>-65535</ResourceUID>
<PercentWorkComplete>100</PercentWorkComplete>
which includes blocks like:
<TimephasedData>
<Type>2</Type>
<UID>7</UID>
<Start>2014-10-17T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2014-10-17T17:00:00</Finish>
<Unit>2</Unit>
<Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
</TimephasedData>
Eventually, the second file also does load with no external file links indicated.
Again, I'm just looking for anything that might be a clue to the long Project Server load times.
Thanks in advance,
LP

Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.
-What kind of Mac are you using?
-What is your source format?
-Where is your source footage located?

IMovie HD saved project in older version of iMovie. Now can't open/find it

Working on an iMovie HD slideshow. Saved it although had a warning that older versions could not open it. Since I only have iMovie HD, I assumed no problem. Now I cannot open the file. Received WARNING
' The project “___” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. ' Seems like my project was moved to iMovie Trash.
Questions:
(1) Can I retreive my project? If yes, how?
(2) What happened to my IMovie HD and how do I get it back?
Appreciate your help.

Sorry I misunderstood about there being a conversion, Steve.
Let's back up a bit. There are some things here that sound very strange, including that the project contains no project file with a tilde in its name.
Were you ever able to save the project successfully? If so, iMovie should have created a tilde file as a backup to your project file "aaa.iMovieProj". If the tilde file doesn't exist, that suggests there's some underlying problem that's causing a failure to save the project to disk.
Let's set aside that project for a moment. Use iMovie to create a new project on the same disk. In the Finder, choose Show Package Contents. (There will be no tilde file in the package for the project hasn't yet been saved.)
Drag the file "aaa.iMovieProj" onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The first few lines should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
Is that what yours looks like?
Close the TextEdit window containing the project file. Back in iMovie, save the project. Now a tilde file should appear inside the package.
Did iMovie save okay? Did the tilde file appear?
Try adding images to this project, then save. Did it save okay?
Quit iMovie. Re-launch iMovie. Did the project open successfully?
The only possible cause that occurs to me is that the disk the project resides on isn't formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you are storing the project on an external disk make sure the disk has the proper format. More about that here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
You might also try discarding the iMovie preference file "com.apple.iMovie.plist", located in the Username/Library/Preferences folder. Be sure to quit iMovie before trashing it.

Signature preferences (AIR) are not saved in the fla file

Hi,
- I create a new fla file in Flash CS5 Professional,
- I go to publish settings and select AIR2 as the target
- I click the Settings button on the right
These settings are supposed to be saved with the fla file, since all of them are related to the project.
Application name, icons, files to include, etc, are all preferences related to the fla file of which you are editing the settings.
However, when you go to the "Signature" tab and select a digital certificate to sign the air application with, this setting will NOT be saved into the file.
Instead, whenever you publish ANY air application, it will use by default the last certificate you have used, even if you used it to publish _another_ application.
That is absurd, because this is a tab within the "publish settings" and all publish settings are specific to a fla file.
Is there a way to fix it? Perhaps some global preference somewhere, or a windows registry key?
Or is it just a bug?
thanks
m.

I would think the signature is the signature specific to the user/company who has opened the fla and is used to identify the developer/company who has created the application.
Now if the signature setting was saved on the fla, and the fla is opened on a different guys machine,
first - he would not have the signature that you had and at the same location
second - it does not make sense to him, since he is not you.
It is unlikely that that a person/company creating applications would sign the swf/air with different signatures.
So I would think that the current behaviour is correct and the signature is specific to the person who has opened the application rather than the application itself.
Hope this explains it.
