"this project contained a sequence that could not be opened. no sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"

So, i have ran though these forums for the past 5 hours to find an answer to this error. Nothing is working.  (on mac with CC2014)
I have tried uninstalling all of CC and reinstalling
I have used the Adobe Cleaner
Signed out of Creative Cloud Desktop and signed back in
Opened a new sequence and imported the old one (this allows me to work with the file once, but if i try to open the new sequence it gives me the same message)
Whats really messed up is that another machine in the office has been able to open it. We are on the same versions
And please excuse this last part, its a bit of venting my frustrations.
Why is there no troubleshooting hotline? I went through the support page a couple of times before realizing it was just looping back to itself and offering no solution other than reading the forums. The instant messaging and support phone line are only for installing and purchasing products. I understand that filtering everyone to the forums is a convenient way to save time and money but i'm now out of resources to read and have gotten no where with no idea of how to proceed. pages like https://forums.adobe.com/message/4626663#4626663#4626663 offer no help because they don't actually address the issue of missing codecs, only how to sign out of Creative Cloud Desktop.

Hi Aaron,
The issue that you are facing is related to activation.
Please go to the system library on the computer-application support-Adobe and rename the SLStore and SLCache folder.
Relaunch Premiere Pro and check if it works or not.
In case this doesn't fix the issue, then go to the desktop screen, click GO on the top-Go to folder, type /etc
Then find the hosts file and see if there are any Adobe Entries, Please remove those entries and save the Hosts File.
Thank You
Arjun

  • 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.

    Sounds like someone ripped the movie off of YouTube and it got corrupted in the process. Try getting the movie file again, or try using an alternative movie player such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org

    The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files).  Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac.  You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • HT3775 i could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized

    why could not opened .my movie file format

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
    QUICKTIME 7.6.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    VLC Media Player
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
    NICEPLAYER
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
    ... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

  • 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.
    See also this FAQ: FAQ: Why are some codecs and sequence presets missing from my installation of Premiere Pro?
    Thanks,

  • "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.
    Cheers
