*sequence could not be opened...

related to the other discussion thread in reference to the video exports having a blue tint...
due to the blue tint issue - I found that it likely was the graphics card in the laptop that was causing the issue...
so I transfered the CS5 files/projects to another computer and everything is working fine except for the most recent project created...
the project I'm referring to was imported at 1024X728 --- 30 FPS --- square pixel --- progressive...everything the same as the other projects that imported fine with the exception of the frame size (the others were 640X480)...in other words the only difference I set between the video's that have transferred properly and are working is the frame size...
when I try to open the file in question --- a box comes up that says:
This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
now...I know other people have had this issue and one proposed solution had to do with setting the preview codec to AVI...however, my codec is already set to AVI...
so I wanted to see what could be causing this...and potential solutions...
since the only difference (that I'm aware of) between the video's that transferred without any problems and the video in question is frame size...it might be that...
let me know if you're able to help at all - thanks so much...I appreciate it
-Nino

Nino,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure I completely understand the issue here.  Assuming that you have video that is 1024x728 and you want to create a sequence of the same size, then one thing you can do is take the footage and drag it to the new item button on the bottom of the project panel.  This will create a sequence according to the characteristics of the clip(s) you chose.
The other thing you can look into is nesting.  If you have 640x480 footage that you want to reside in a 1024x728 sequence and its not working for some reason, you might try taking a 640x480 timeline and nesting it inside the larger one.
Hopefully, one of the above might help you.

  • Why is it that when I try to open a project, it says "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"?

    It could be opened last night but today it just kept showing "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". I really need to access my video.

  • Premiere pro CC 2014 - Project contained a sequence that could not be opened

    Hi,
    I've got serious issues, I just spent hours working on a project in CC 2014 and I closed and tried to reopen in and its now telling me that 'The project contains a sequence that could not be opened.'.
    The file is permanently jammed in this state, what do I do from here?
    Please help!!
    Mark

    First, this can happen ... you do have auto-saves set for every so often, right? Do a manual save-as every now and then? Right? ... Hope so ...
    If you've got autosaves "on" you can of course go to the last saved save. Depending on your time betwixt saves, you might lose some work. Better than everything, of course.
    If not ... there'll be help from others here. Hoping you get this taken care of ...

  • Persistent Premiere Pro CC 2014 error message: "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened..."

    I've been working on a project and everything was working fine. I close the program and reopened it an hour later. Now, I keep getting this error message: "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I attempted to use one of the Adobe suggested solutions... opening a new project, clicking on the "Help" Tab and deactivating, but the tab doesn't have that option. I'm also a little afraid to uninstall and re-install premiere pro, the other suggestion, because I'm worried about losing my files.
    I would be grateful if anyone could help me.
    Thank you very much.

  • Premiere Pro CC Error: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened..."

    I know this problem has been reported previously with Premiere Pro CC (I run 2014). When opening up a recent project, I keep getting this: "Error Adobe Premiere Pro: This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type." The only solutionm is to open another project, sign ou, then sign in before I get open that other project. This has become a pain...  Is there a permanent fix for this issue that has been reported for quite a while now?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Marc-Andre d'Anjou,
    I am sorry to hear you're having trouble with this issue. It happens sometimes because of activation problems. The doc that Rameez points to is missing steps for reactivating the Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro. For Premiere Pro CC, and later, see the section "How to deactivate or sign out" in this document. See the section "How to activate or sign in" in the same document to activate Premiere Pro once more.

  • "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened."

    Hello everybody.
    I have a problem with my premiere C6. Whenever I tried to open a specific project (the one I am working on), the follow message pops up and I cannot access the project. Even when I open premiere and "open recent"
    Here's the message:
    "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I don't know what to do. One day everything is fine, the next one I can't work.
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    I've only recently updated to Premiere Pro CC and had a similar issue.
    When opening a CS6 file in CC2014, I received this alert:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom setting instead..."
    The file would open and I was able to make changes and even save seemingly without any issues. However, when I attempted to open the file again, I was given the alert that you posted here:
    "This Project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    The problem seemed to originate when a "custom setting" was generated for CC2014 to open the project.
    What I did to fix the issue was AS SOON AS I OPENED the older version in Premiere CC, I would immediately go to the Sequence Settings for EVERY sequence in the file and create my own custom settings based on my project. Once that was done, I could begin working on the project and it would save and open without issue. This only needs to be done the first time you open an older version of your project before making any changes or saving the file.
    I discovered that the "Custom Setting" that is originally generated when converting the older version to the new, created a funky "Video Preview" size of 16x16 pixels. Once I put all the settings in order, Premiere CC was happy again.
    Still haven't figured out a fix for the random crash during operation and the almost guaranteed crash when quitting Premiere from the top menu bar.
    PS Mark Mapes, I did try the fixed that you linked to in your post but they did not do the trick for me. Is there any updated you know of on the horizon? Thanks.

  • Avid AAF into Premiere works until "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened."

    I'm exporting an audio timeline from Avid to an AAF. I chose to copy and convert all the audio media into .WAV files, to place on a new harddrive and to provide a readable format for Premiere/Audition; (I read that Audition doesn't import AAF, but Premiere does, and can transfer to Audition.)
    Importing this AAF into premiere seems to work - it apparently links to the media and uses the AAF edl to create a new sequence, but before the import is successful I get the error message:
    "Fire Import Failure
    C:\[path]\PicLockAvidAudioTimelineExport.prproj
    Error Message
    This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    What I don't understand is that this apparently refers to a premiere project sequence - prproj. Why is Premiere having trouble importing an AAF created from Avid?
    Using Premiere at school, I can import the AAF just fine. I'm using Premiere CS5 at home.
    Thank you!

    Try installing the Avid software codecs on your home machine.

  • "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened" adobe premiere pro cc

    HI everyone. I am using adobe premiere pro cc, but it is giving be headache almost every other day. When I open a file, once out of two times, I have this message: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened", and this is annoying as it blocks all my work and I start waiting time trying to solve the issue, the live chat is not available and all the solutions offered here send me to do things that waste my time even more, and two days later, the same problem comes back. can anyone help, please?
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot Ann, but this is becoming really annoying! How many times per week should I uninstall, clean up and then reinstall this app?
    In my "Help" thing, there is no "Help > Deactivate", so I can't choose the option 1.
    Option 2 seems too complicated for me, the only option left to me is the option 3, but the problem keeps coming back!

  • How to open a Numbers doc after message "The document (name) could not be opened." is received?

    I opened an Excel file with multiple worksheets by doubleclicking on it, saved it as a Numbers file and made lots of changes to it. Now I can't open it at all. All I get is the message "The document (name) could not be opened."
    Any ideas?

    It seems that your doc is corrupted.
    Try to rename it from ********.numbers to ********.numbers.zip
    then double click it
    You will get a new ********.numbers file with the structure 'package'.
    Try to open it by double-click.
    Sometimes it works.

    Help!
    Thanks, Mark

    Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
    If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
    It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
    Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
    I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
    Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.
