Strange message when opening a FCP file

Hello, I have recently updated my Final Cut Studio to have FCP6 and when I open a project that uses Apple Pro Res it tells me this:
"File format is too new for this program"
Any thoughts on why this is so?
Thanks in advance for any help

You will see this message when you attempt to open a project file that was created on a version of FCP that is newer than the version that you are using.
What version of Final Cut Pro was used to create the project?
What version of Final Cut Pro do you currenty have?
I know you said FCP6 in your post, but the *point version* is important.
(6.0.1, 6.0.2 etc, with 6.0.5 being current)

  • "uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

    Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
    When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
    When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
    If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
    1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
    2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
    3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
    4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

  • Error message when opening a .cp file (version issue?)

    I am using Captivate 4.0 and exporting to a .swf file.
    My project partner is using Captivate 3.0
    I sent her my Captivate file to use as a template for our project and when she tries to open it, she gets an error message:
    Adobe Captivate could not open "file.cp" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
    I didn't send the file to her via email.  I uploaded it to our shared server.
    Any ideas? 
    As always, thank you in advance!
    mon.mac

    Sorry, but Captivate is not (and has never been) backwards compatible. In CP4 you can open a CP3-file, but it will be converted to the CP4-format (you get a warning message). You can not open a CP4-file in CP3. What is possible (but you have to install both versions CP3 and CP4) is copying slide per slide to an new, blank CP3 project.
    No luck,

  • Font missing message when opening a fla file

    When I open one fla file (tutorial) I am getting a message
    Font mapping
    the document contains one or more fonts currently unavailable on your sytem, the text will display in the font below
    Danmark
    What does this mean? How and where to find the missing fonts, i even do not know their names
    thx

    It means the .fla's author used a font that you don't have installed on your system. If you don't need to edit the file, just choose to use the default substitute and you'll be good to go. If you do need to edit, there are many free font sites where you could possibly find Danmark, otherwise you may need to purchase it.

  • Color error message when opening a photoshop file in Illustrator

    I have a photo of the airport, with blue sky etc.  I would like to make it all one color as a background image.  I want the background of the photo to be light orange wit the building to be darker orange.  Is there a way to do that in Illustrator?  To try out different colors foreground and background or do I have to do it in Photoshop?  How do I fill all the colors in the photo to just the two colors?  This photo is untouched.
    I also have a photo that has photoshop effects.  When I open it in Illustrator I get an error message.  It says "the document's embedded color profile does not match the current CMYK working space.  The current CMYK color management policy is to discard profiels that do not match the working space.
    I have the start of a web page in my working space.  With this photo I think I am opening it in a separate page but it won't let me.  I probably will use the untouched photo but I'm curious why its giving me the message.  My workspace should be in RGB web safe colors.  Is that why it won't let me open the CMYK photoshop file?   I guess it has non-web safe colors but my thought was to change it to all web safe colors but maybe that is way too hard in Illustrator?
    thankx,

    You can color a grayscale tiff in Illustrator by simply selecting it then selecting a color you want.
    I would think if these are two spot colors and you really want two different oranges you would want to clip the building either in
    Photoshop or Illustrator and place it on top of one another.
    I would normally say do a duo tone but that would mix the two colors.
    So this is how i would go about it in Illustrator
    1. Import the image as a grayscale tiff or import it and convert it to a grayscale by going to Edit>Edit Colors>Convert to Grayscale
    2. then select the background color.
    3. then copy the image and paste in front Command C and then Command F and select the darker orange color
    4. with the pen tool create an a path that is the shape of the building exactly. Make sure it is a closed path.
    5. then select the path and the top image the one you paste in front.
    6. then go to Object>Clipping Path>Make
    7 I would then group the two
    with this method you have to good with the pen tool, but that is true of Illustrator in general.
    now with the CMYK image it is allowing you to place it but is simply warning you of the conversion taking place.
    What you should do is select in your Photoshop and Illustrator color settings to sRGB since this is probably the space you want.
    and convert the CMYK into a RGB file which is what you should have done in the first place.
    So open it i Photoshop convert to sRGB and  replace it in Illustrator.
    All should be fine.

  • Strange message when opening an image in PS5

    Sometimes when I open an image in CS5  I get this weird message It reads  "photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver
    and has temporily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software.  GPU enhancements can be
    enabled in the perfermormance panel of preferences"  I am really at a loss as to what this means./when I go to preferences then performance I get this large screen with numerences choices, none of which mean anything to me. Does anyne have any advice or assistance. Honestly I cannot tell any change when I continue to process the selected image. But all that information has got to mean something.
    Jim Reasoner

    You likly have a buggy display driver.  They're fairly common.
    Adobe describes the GPU-specific features (which you're losing when it disables OpenGL) here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405745.html
    What you need to do to solve the problem at the root cause is (assuming you have a desktop computer) to visit the web page of the maker of your video card (e.g., nVidia or ATI) and download/install the latest display driver for your hardware and OS.
    If you have a laptop usually you have to get the display drivers from the laptop maker's web site.

  • Keep getting this strange message when opening project

    Hello!!!
    This project worked perfectly fine yesterday but when I load it today I get this bundle of wierdness
    The "SetEnv" task could not be instantiated from the assembly
    What in the heck does this mean? do I have to re-install vs 2013?
    Thank You
    AO!

    Hi dareal.apacheomega,
    It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE.
    Just to make this issue clearly, when did you get this issue? Which kind of app did you develop? Is it related to the MSBuild?
    I doubt that it is the VC++ APP, maybe you could check whether it is related to the Platform Toolset under project property.

  • Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

    PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update.  Mac OSX 10.8.2   16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3  543 GB Available
    I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version).  The message is:
    This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable.  To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. 
    Three options follow:  Flatten  Cancel  Keep Layers
    When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal.  However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
    I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should.  Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues. 
    I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5.  Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
    Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

    This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
    If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
    But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
    You said your using shape layers?
    If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
    Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
    I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

    Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
    Also please find details of storage devise,

  • HELP - illustrator cs5 error message when opening cs3 files

    Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it.
    I just bought and downloaded cs5. When opening Illustrator cs3 files I get an error message: "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
    Then it opens the file but I it is only line work (no fills, gradients, etc) and I can not do anything in the file. If I click an object the error message pops up again.
    This is what it looks like in cs3.
    This is how it displays in cs5
    I cant find anything online about this issue. Also this occurs on all of my illustrator files, not just one.
    any advice?
    thanks

    I think your current system should be fine for running Illustrator CS5. Please let us know if the original problem happens for you again.
    I think your system is also fine for running Adobe Illustrator CS 5 but of course you are running the system as well and a browser and e-mail client…and perhaps Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word in which case I think there might be on occasion an out of memory issue and with a complex file you will lose your preview.
    I have lost my preview as well on certain files and found that it usually is because I had trashed the preferences and forgot to set the scratch to a different disk other than the startup disk.
    I have 16 GB of RAm and once in a while I still lose the preview.

  • Error message when opening HTM

    Using Captivate 6, I published a project that is set up for SCORM 1.2 compliance. When opening the htm file in the browser window, the following error message appears:
    If I click OK, the project does not display. If I click Cancel, the error message goes away and the project plays.
    Should I be concerned about this message?

    Hi There,
    This msg popsup when you Create a project and enables reporting. This will only gives you this msg when you play the project offline(After publish locally). However if you zip this and upload it to LMS it does work fine. So you need not to worry about it.
    My suggestion is if you want to preview or view the project locally, please disable reporting and then preview it. And please refer above post by Sureshpost.

    Hi Jay
    You need not be concerned about this at all . So why this message " When you have reporting enabled for your captivate movie and if you play them in local machine .. there are libraries which tries to search for LMS and when it doesn't find them they throw up this message .. we tried to supress this message in non LMS scenario or make it less scary due to paucity of time we were unable to do the same ".
    So you should be good in what you are doing right now .
