Trouble opening projects from Captivate 2

I've downloaded the Captivate 4 trial b/c I'm very interested
in the ability to export to .AVI for use in videos I edit. I had be
running Captivate 2 to record software demonstrations, so I went to
open an older project and it said that the project had to be
updated for 4 and I clicked ok...it goes through some iterations
importing audio and optimizing images for Captivate 4 and then
nothing happens. The hour glass makes it seem like the program is
working but nothing ever opens. Can anyone help?

Hi there
If the conversion doesn't seem to be working perhaps you will
have better luck trying the following.
1. Perhaps try defining a blank project in 4, then see if you
are able to import from 2.
Or
2. Perhaps try opening the project in 2, then define a blank
project in 4. See if you are able to copy the slides from 2 and
paste into 4.
Cheers... Rick

Trouble opening project from Adobe Premiere Production Studio 2.0 in CS 5.5

Have almost finished editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 when computer died - have upgraded computer and software to cs 5.5 and told over phone by Adobe that will be able to open current file saved in 2.0 in CS 5.5. no problems....
BUT...it's not working! Comes up with an error message saying it needs to be converted first and opens but there is nothing in the timeline and is asking to locate all the individual files, only to tell me they can't be used....!
Anybody have any advice on this...?
Sorry for the long winded question!!
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
While Opening, or Importing older Projects into newer versions of PrPro is usually possible, there can be issues.
First, when you have Opened the PrPro 2.0 Project, and allowed it to be converted, you will be prompted to Save that as a new Project Name. That is what you want to do.
Next, when that converted Project Opens, twirl open the Bins, to find the Sequence, and Dbl-click that, to get it to display.
As for the location of the files, since you are now on a new computer, it is very likely that the Path to the Assets has changed, and probably due to the drive letter - those Paths are absolute, so much be exact in all cases. When asked "Where is file ____ ?" use the Finder to locate that, in its new location, and select it. PrPro will then look in that folder for all other necessary Assets, and will automatically link to them, as well. If the Assets are in separate folders/sub-folder, you will have to repeat that first step for each folder/sub-folder. Then, so long as the Paths to the Assets, or the Assets themselves, are not changed, all should be fine. At this point, I would do a Save_As, incrementing the Project's Name.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

Can't open project from DB

I am about ready to throw this machine out the window!! I
have installed Robohelp X5 and updated to 5.0.2. I also installed a
VCS patch since RH doesn't like to play nice with PVCS. I can open
projects from local drives just fine, but when I try to open a
project from our database, I get this: "Unknown exception error,
please contact ..." This occurs after I select my location to store
files and click OK. I know my username and password are good
because other users can open projects on their machines using my
login info. I cannot open any projects using anybody else's info
either. This is the second box that I've had this occur, I actually
requested a new one to see if it would work on a different machine
and the exact same thing happens. So, I would greatly appreciate
any help with this!

Thanks for the reply. Let me give you some more details. Oh
and I'm not using PVCS for VC with Robohelp, but I do have it
installed on my machine for other projects.
What I am doing is trying to open the project through
RoboSource Control. Once in RoboHelp HTML I select the Open from
RoboSource option from the Open Project dialog box, and it prompts
me to enter the server and DB name, with my username and password.
After that, it accesses the project and asks me to select a
location to store the files on my local drive. Once I do that and
click OK to proceed, I get the error. What SHOUILD happen is it
should copy the files to the specified location on my local drive
and allow me to then open the project, but I can't get that far.
It's very frustrating, especially since everyone else can do it but
me.

JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 hangs when opening project from JDeveloper 11.1.1.6

Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:09 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:10 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
But I don't know what could be the next step... Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your attention!

Hi,
not sure if you have a support contract or work for Oracle. In both cases the best option is to file a bug (service request)

How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
install RH v6.
BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
Safe which we have been using in our company.
Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
7.
Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
RoboHelp 6.
RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
where I have installed RH V6.
Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
only to give you a clear picture.
Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
problem. Everything looks alright.
Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
tool before this is the first time I will be using.
I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
VSS.
In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
message that in order to open this project the following files need
to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
any idea what’s happening?
Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
other recommendation?
Your help is always appreciated

Unable to Open Project from a Networked computer

Hi All
We have just recently installed Robohelp V6 on a computer in
the office and after making sure that RoboSource is connected and
visible, I have come to my desktop machine and made sure that
1. I could connect to the Robohelp "Server"
2. that I could map to the drive that the project file
resided
3. that I could ping the "server" computer
All appears to be fine, except that when I try to open the
Project file from the "MAPPED" drive, I get the following error
msg:
"OPEN PROJECT WAS CANCELLED OR THE APPLICATION WAS UNABLE TO
LOAD THE DATABASE FOR: T:\Content\Grail2Aug07Help.cpd"
It is the Project file
grail2aug07help.xpj that I am trying to open.
The project WAS currently opened and in use my another person
on the "server" computer, so I wonder if this is the reason for the
message.??? If I cannot get the project opened. how do I then make
sure that files that I want to alter are "Checked In/Out" by me and
are also seen, by other users as being CHECKED OUT...??
PLEASE HELP..!!
Regards

Your project should live on a local drive (e.g., the My
Documents folder on your PC). Version control can live on a mapped
(i.e., network) drive.

Opened project from November, interpret footage settings gone

I just opened a project from November. All the clips that were shot at 59.94fps then interpreted to 23.976fps have lost the setting. Everything in the bin that was shot at 59.94fps is back to its original speed. The result is in the sequence, those clips are playing with the wrong start and end points and a few don't render at all. I just went through and put the value back to 23.976 but the clips' in and out points are still wrong. It will be a lot of work to re-edit this back to the original final edit.
Has anyone had this problem? Is there a solution? A fix?
Thanks.
I'm now going through the backups to see if those are affected.

I believe this was a bug with copied projects. If memory serves, it was corrected in one of the CC updates.

Opening projects from older Premiere versions in CS5.5 ?

Hello!
I'm trying to help my wife, who's using Premiere Pro CS5.5.
She edited a movie in an old version of Premiere. We have all the files from the project, but no longer have access to the machine she edited on. We are about 95% sure that it was edited on Premiere Pro 2.0 for Windows. (It might have been on a slightly older Windows version).
We've just installed Premiere Pro CS5.5 on her computer. We're having a number of problems importing the file. Some of them we're solving quickly, some of them a little less so. I wanted to check on the forum to check a couple of things:
1) Just to be sure: Is Premiere Pro CS5.5 for Windows supposed to be able to work with projects from Premiere Pro 2.0? From older versions? Is there an easy way to figure out what version of Premiere the project file was created in?
2) Is there any sort of FAQ or anything we might consult about issues that typically come up when importing from older versions of Premiere?
We are sort of puzzling though this together. I'm usually the computer problem-solving guy around the house, but I don't know anything about Premiere...
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Yes, Premiere Pro CS5.5 can open projects created in any previous version of Premiere Pro (and version 6.x of Adobe Premiere).
Great to know!
If you bring specific issues to this forum as they arise, we may be able to help.
Okay. We'll play around a bit on our own, and I'll see if we can summarize problems we can't figure out.
I don't suppose there's any sort of FAQ about common problems in importing from old versions or anything?

Trouble opening files from LR3 to CS4, desaturation occurring.

I upgraded from LR2 to 3 a while ago, and recently, I've had an odd problem opening my lightly edited files into CS4. I just do command E on my mac, and they open right into CS4. When the image(s) open, they almost seem completely desaturated? I shoot a nikon D700, raw, copy the NEF files into LR3 upon import, do light edits in LR (white balance, recovery, tone curve, some adjustment brush...) and then will open selected files into CS4 for futher tweaking. Any idea why these images are doing this? If I go back into lightroom and "reset all settings" and then open, the images open fine. Help, i'm about to pull my hair out!!!
Here is a screen shot showing the image in LR (left) and then how it opens in CS4.
Thank you in advance for your help! I'm currently running version 3.6 of lightroom and 11.0.2 of CS4

Nope I am in sRGB.....
It has been very confusing because I can get an image to open normally in CS4 by resetting ALL the settings.... i wrote down the settings, re-set, made sure it opened with the correct color rendition/not desaturated (for lack of a better term.....), and then went through and "re-created" the image step by step, starting with white balance and on down, and opening it in CS4 every step, to see what was making the color render that way in CS4. I think I have narrowed it down to the Nikon V4 camera profiles... because if I set my camera profile to "d2x mode1 v2" it opens normally (with all of my other lightroom edits made...) but if i simply switch to "d2x mode 1 v4" it will desaturate upon opening in cs4.
I've also had troubles like this from time to time in the past, and thought it had something to do with the adjustment brush.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?? Is it a compatibility issue with CS4 being an older version of photoshop?

Trouble moving projects from one computer to another

In the prospect of clearing up space, I am moving projects from my hard drive to an external. In order to make sure things are moving properly I open up a project from the external onto another computer, different from the one I moved the projects off of. When I open up the project, part of the original footage (.MTS file) does not show up in the timeline. The blue rectangle that represents the footage is striped. When I open up the exact same project onto the original computer from the external everything is fine.
Also, when I was opening up a project from the external to the other computer the "Locate Media" pop up appears wanting me to link all the media, but all the media has been checked off, as if all the media has already been found. Why does it do this?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Check this out: Moving projects to another computer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1BF3BAAB-A930-44e3-8DFA-50D5C58A1A1Aa.h tml#WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F
Likely you have some of the MTS file structure missing. The best way to move projects, IMHO, is to use the Project Manager.
Thanks,
Kevin

I am having trouble opening projects in Encore CS3. "project folder cannot be found"

Encore will not open my project files. I get the message "project folder cannot be found". Unlike Premiere Pro however it does not ask where they are.

Did you change the name on assets only? Or did you change the name of files/folders that were in the main En project folder? If the latter, then I think you're hosed. If the former, then En should ask you where they are when you open the project.
Try putting the top-level En project folder in the same parent folder as the En project file. If you can remember what the original parent folder was called, use the same parent folder. Leave everything else as is. Launch En from the Start Menu and choose the Open Project option from the Welcome screen. Navigate to where the En project file is and select that. Open the project.
What happens?

Trouble Opening PDFs from IE 11

Premiere on Windows wont open Project from Mac

It says "could'nt open Project because it was created with a newer Version of Premiere" although I have Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) on both, my Mac and my PC.
