Snippet vanish if project hangs

Sometimes, my project hangs and I have to end it via the Task
Manager. When I do that, any Snippet that I created vanishes from
the Snippet pod.
However, there is still a placeholder type link to the
Snippet in the topics. I see a couple of paragraph marks and if I
position the cursor over the area where the Snippet used to appear,
the name displays in a link box.
This is very annoying. I have to blow away the cpd file and
then recreate the snippet, etc. etc. This process also means I lose
my template files, which I use to provide last update footers in my
topics.
Seems like the Snippet files are not very stable.

Here's what I did
#1 - Removed all the meta tags from the project
# 2 - reimported the 2 snippets and inserted the 1st into one
topic and the 2nd into another topic. Based on the problems we had
with snippents, I had coverted all of the links to text so I was
starting from scratch.
#3 - Generated the project and viewed it. Everything looked
fine. Even showed where the snippets were used.
#4 - Closed the project and reopened, the snippets were gone
again. Leaving only the paragraph mark where they were supposed to
be in the topic and the name if you hovered over the paragraph
mark.
#5 - Blew away the cpd and xpj, which I hate doing because we
lose all of our template files. We use templates to last updated
info in the footer. ** Unfortunately, I can only re-import some of
the templates that are in the project and NOT the most recent. If I
leave the templates unimported, they show up as unused, which they
are NOT. If you've got a suggestion for re-importing templates,
please let me know because I've tried everything and we have
templates going back to 2005. So re-importing is pain, especially
as I'm never sure which template will come back into the project.
#6 - Reopened project and the snippets were there. Even
showed where used.
#7 - Imported a Word document into the project. Removed the
meta tag and saved. Then I inserted a snippet into that topic. !!!
Snippet did not display --- only the paragraph mark and the link if
I hovered. Nothing in preview mode. This change also occured in the
2 other topics where I had snippets. !!!
# 8 - Generated the project just to see if the the snippets
would show in the generated file. Yes, it did.
#9 - Closed and re-opened the project. Snippets seemed to be
there but still not showing in topics. When I re-imported 1
snippet, it appeared in the topic but was then duplicated in
Snippet pod.
#10 - I then got some exception errors, which I only get
after I try generating too many times. 1st -- "Instruction at ....
referenced memory at ..... This memory can't be written. ---- and
--- 2nd "The exception unknown software exception ... occurred in
application at location ....."
#11 - When I reopened the project, only the 2 snippets were
there and everything showed properly in the project.
At this point, I don't know what to do. I want to use
snippets as they're a great feature. Unfortunatley, unless I spend
hours that I don't have testing every possible scenario, I'll be
opening and closing projects just to ensure that they're still
there.
Not sure if this is a bug given that your suggestion for
deleting the meta tag in all topics and any new ones did not work
--- or ---- something specific to our projects that goes beyond the
meta tag issue.

SSDT Project hangs when the model comes up

SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition SP1 on Windows 8.1 Professional
I recently brought over a Tabular Analysis SSDT project from my work laptop to my own personal laptop. I managed to bring up the model, successfully deploy the model to SSAS on the same personal laptop (Weds).
Today when I went in to bring up the model, the system hang, CPU usage goes up to 100% and there is more than enough memory and disk space.
Any ideas would be appreciated and thanks.

Unable to open project - hangs at 'loading saved thumbnails'

1. I save a 30 minute project to my local disk and shut down iMovie HD.
2. I re-installed iMovie HD (because the help subsystem was not working for some reason).
3. I launched the newly installed iMovie and it automatically tried to load my project. When it reaches 'loading saved thumbnails' it hangs and I have to Force Quit.
4. I removed the iMovie plist and relaunched iMovie and started a New Project. When it reaches 'loading saved thumbnails' it hangs and I have to Force Quit.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

14GB is at the margin of what may be needed. 20GB is better.
Your original iMovie project may have become corrupt.
The following is from David Pogue's 'iMovie 6 & iDVD 6 - The Missing Manual' which I think is the best handbook for these applications you can get. It is readily obtainable from Amazon.
David Pogue writes (on page 471):
At some random moment when you least expect it, some iMovie project that you worked on for days or weeks refuses to open. The odds of project corruption in iMovie 6 are lower than in any previous version, but if it happens there is little consolation.
If the worst should happen, you may be able to rescue the project by importing its timeline movie to a new, fresh iMovie project file.
The modern iMovie 'document' is in fact a tricky kind of folder. To open it, Control-click (or right-click) the project's Finder icon; from the shortcut menu, choose Show Package Contents. In the window that opens, double-click the Cache icon. Inside you will see an icon called Timeline Movie.
The Timeline Movie is a reference movie. That is, it contains no video or audio of its own - just pointers to the video and audio files stored in the package's Media folder. If those files are intact, then the reference movie will play the project just as iMovie did.
Create a new iMovie project, and then drag the Timeline Movie.mov icon from the Finder window right into the Timeline Viewer of the new project.
Now, the resulting movie will contain all the original movie project, but you should be aware that it will show up in the new project as a single, giant clip. You won't be able to edit the titles and transitions, but at least everything will play in the proper order.
Worth a try don't you think? Post back with results!

Opening previously good CS3 project hangs at 79%

Hi, we have a fairly straightforward project that has been fine up until now.
When attempting to open, Encore CS3 (in CS3... no upgrade) goes through the process of finding the various assets, apparently successfully.
Then it just hangs at 79%.
Is there a repair/troubleshooting process I can go through? I tried opening the project file in a text editor but it's clearly not XML like a Premiere Project!

Darn. Not being able to type at login sounds like an issue mine has every so often, although if you don't log in RIGHT AWAY on mine, you have to force it down and restart because when you type, it pinwheels and never stops. Mine also hasn't been able to restart or shutdown so I haven't been able to apply updates.

CS6 Project - Hang on start up - Move Footage Fixed ?

Hello,
I have tried searching for an answer to this one, but difficult to find an answer. It's a tricky one I think.
I have three projects with CS6. This problem, which is very worrying, is happening with two of them.
System has had no changes. WIn 7 64 BIt, 16 GIG Ram. Tons of storage on video and system drives.
Project complete and edited. Once I reload project. Its hangs. Just sit there and crash. The project consist of a three camera edit.
If I move rename the source Camera 1 video files to a new name, reload project, CS6 ask for ne wlocation. I point to the renamed folder. The project opens find.
This is a temp fix, I'm pretty scared that one day the project wont open! :-(
I'm pretty sure all all to do with the Media Cache folder.
Recently I moved this to a different drive, as i thought it would help with CS6 Multi-Cam editing performance (it didn't).
Thank you in advance for any help offered :-)

Hi
Is the version of premiere pro updated?
Also we need to check if there is any latest graphics card driver available for graphics card in the computer.
Once launched , then we can use the project archiver to export the project to a different location.
Seems like a corrupt sequence or so, Can be also fixed by nested sequence to save this project.
Hope it Helps

Spinning beach ball - iMovie project hangs. Help!

iMovie starts OK and appears to be working on other projects, but I've got one project that appears to hang iM whenever I try to preview ("play") it. I'm at a loss and need help! I'll croak if all my work is damaged.
The problem started not long after I stopped a "Share" to the media browser. That stopped OK and I added a song afterwards, which now appears in the right place after quitting and restarting (ie. the edit appears to have completed OK). But now I cannot preview any part of the project without getting the endless beachball. Activity monitor shows high CPU usage while the ball spins, but nothing else happens.
I've tried restarting the computer with no luck. I've got over 25 Gb free on the HD. Please tell me there's a way out!

Cleaning global and user caches didn't work, cleaning user preferences didn't work, Safe boot didn't work, single-user mode didn't work, the only option left to me was Archive and Install, which fixed my problem.

Snippets lost from project in RH7

Hello,
I am having a problem with snippets losing their connections to a project after I close and reopen the project.
If I create a new snippet it appears in the Snippet pod, and the content is shown anywhere it is inserted in a page. If i then close and re-open RH, the Snippet pod is empty and the snippet content is not displayed in pages where it was inserted. The .hts files for the snippets still exist in the project folder, and the html still has the snippet placeholder anywhere it was inserted. I can fix the problem by clicking on "Import Snippet" from the Snippet pod and then importing all the snippets I had.
Does anyone know how to correct this issue, so that snippts will remain associated with a project?

Ok. I got it figured out. Thank you Peter, you set me on the right track.
Here's what you need to do in case anyone else runs into the same problem:
1.(Obviously you'd want to make a back up of the project first)
2. Copy all snippet files (.hts extensions) to some other folder (outside of the project).
3. Delete all snippet files from the project (.hts).
4. Delete the .cpd file from the project.
5. Delete the rhsnippet.apj from the project.
6. Open the project, and import the snippets that you copied in step 2.
7. Generate project. Should be good at that point.

Open project hanging

Hi,
I have a AE project. I want to render it and tried to open it in Adobe Media Encoder 5.5. But the dialoge box just hangs after connecting to the dynamic link server. Then I tried to open the project again in AE, but it also hangs when trying to open it. Just 1% and AE stops responding. Can anyone help me out?
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I tried clearing cache and database in both AE and in the Media Encoder. Did not help...
When I try to import the project in an empty project, I get the same hanging dialogue box.
Any other ideas?
Thank you

Final Cut Pro X project timeline vanished from project window.

I'm using Final Cut Pro X on my Intel based iMac running Snow Leopard. I was trimming a video file in the project timeline when the timeline vanished. The project window is there but the timeline is gone in all projects. Any ideas?

Same thing just happened to me, I can preveiw the project still, and no it is not a matter of zooming out. There is no enter full screen option in snow leapord. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed ASAP!
The affected project is the music video, you can see that it is completely grey.
This is what it looks like when you open the project, no timeline. Just a grey area.

Snippets Lost from Project

Hello,
Using RH7 I had a problem in which every time I closed and reopened a project, the snippets would be lost from the project and I would have to re-import them. Adobe refused to assist me in this because it is project-specific (I can't replicate it in a new project), so I just worked around it.
I recently upgraded to to RH8 and was hoping that whatever the problem was would have been solved. But it was not.
In RH8, the snippets are lost from the project every time I close and reopen, but additionally, the placeholders in the HTML are converted to non-breaking space entities, so I can no longer work around it by just re-importing.
Does anyone have some insight into how the project is wired up to the snippets or where would be a good place to start in trying to track down the problem?

Ok. I got it figured out. Thank you Peter, you set me on the right track.
Here's what you need to do in case anyone else runs into the same problem:

Loading Project Hang

I'm having this problem:
I open a CS3 project in CS4.
I save it.
I open it again in CS4. This time Premiere hangs. The Load Project window stops at about 95%, and stays there for hours. I can move this little window, tough. Bit if I press the Cancel button, the main premiere window turns white, and I eventually have to close the program as it has stopped responding.
I've tired this in a dual boot machine, one XP (x32) and one VistaX64. the same thing happens.

John,
It sounds like there might be a dialogue screen that is hidden from view for some reason.
A couple of questions:
1.) did you ever have more than one monitor hooked up to the system?
2.) if you choose Project New, and then Window>Workspace>[choosing a default, or known good custom], and then Close Project, Open problem Project, do you see a new dialogue box anywhere?
3.) can you shrink PrPro down to a smaller size, then Open problem Project and see anything, anywhere, if you move the smaller GUI around?
Since Windows is telling you that the program is waiting for a response, I'd consider the possiblity that for some reason, you are not seeing a dialogue screen. Do you have any sort of GUI enhancer, like Window Blinds?
Back before Workspaces were introduced, a friend came by with his Macbook to show me how well it worked with PS. He set it up, and went to do some adjustment with Highlight & Shadow. PS and his Macbook both hung. No Esc, or other would get him to working. We thought for a bit, and he menitoned that he always had a second monitor hooked up at his studio. I grabbed a spare monitor and hooked it to the Macbook. He rebooted and tried the same thing again. This time, we could see the Highlight & Shadow dialogue box, way off to the side of the second monitor. He dragged it back to his main screen and all worked perfectly. Hidden box, that he could not see, or access. That is why I asked about the second monitor, though it could be another similar display problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

X3 project hangs RH 6

Hi,
RH 6 hangs and then closes when opening an X3 project - any
ideas?
Thanks,
Duncan Rosie

Something else must be at play here as I somehow don't think
RH6 would corrupt the DVD drivers.
I think I would focus on getting the PC into good working
order and then reinstall RH. You confirmed admin rights but not
your login. That is important but I suspect that was the case just
because the samples were OK.
Once you have reinstalled, try again with the X3 project and
let us know the state of play then.

Project hangs with every click

Hi all. I completely new to Premiere and am having problems. If anyone can help it woud be great.
I have a 10 min film shot on a Canon EOS 7D at 1280x720 50fps (about 60Gb of footage). I set up a new PREMCS5 project (1280x720, 25fps) and edited about 5 mins before it started to really lag whenever I moved in/out points or selected clips in the library. This got worse quickly as I added new footage t the library until I broke the project up in to sequences and it seemed to work better for a bit.
After that, whenever I open the project it seems to run a little slower than before and just now I can't even switch sequences without the whole thing hanging for good which means my project is pretty worthless now
I am working on a Macbook Pro with 4Gb ram and an i7 processor and running Prem 12.0. The project has no effects or anything like that but does have a couple of JPG images dropped in to it (dunno if that makes a difference).
As I said I am completely new to video editing so any help or advice would be really good.
Cheers all

Cheers for the speedy reply, unfortunately I think I can see where this one is going and it ends with me needing a new machine
I can upgrade to 8Gb RAM but my hardrive runs at 5400 and I have a feeling the processor is actually an i5 rather than an i7 (System profiler list Intel 5 Series Chipset) so I don't know if it would make a lot of difference.
I knew I might have issues editing on a laptop but what is weird is that I recently made a film of similar length and size that a friend edited on his MBP which is several years old and much lower spec using Final Cut and while it was a little slow and dropped a few frames here and there it worked fine generally. I also edited an hour long film on my old iMac (also in FCP) with no problems at all.
Does Prem handle media significantly differently to FCP that one would run smooth where the other hangs and becomes unusable?
I have had a good poke around with my project and it seems that it actually only hangs when I try to open 2 of the 6 sequences and everywhere else it runs ok and I can work pretty smoothly so I wonder if something has got corrupted along the way. The problems seemed to come on very suddenly after a period of smooth working.
Sorry for rambling a bit. The more I read in to the subject the more I realise how little I know about it and it is kind of daunting.
Again, cheers for your help and any advice you can give.
