Updated to 2014 and cannot export project

I'm not an expert.  I desperately need help.  I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 (just updated yesterday to 2014, creative cloud, on Mac OS 10.9.4) to make a tribute video for my dad's memorial service and need to export it immediately!  (by tomorrow).  I've successfully used premiere pro CS6 for other projects this year, and just upgraded yesterday to the new version and worked for 15 hours to finish my project in the new version.  Now I can't open my completed project in the older version. 
When I went to export it, it freezes at "2% of 1st pass" and after an hour or so, my entire computer freezes and I have to force shut it down.  (I am not having this computer issue with any other application that I use.)  I continued to re-try to export it (with slightly different settings) 5 times, and now "export" under File is grayed out. 
As far as export settings, please bear with me - I'm a novice.  Every time I do ANYTHING in Premiere Pro, I pretty much have to search for a tutorial video for each step.  From what I can 'remember', here's what I did:
1. rendered project from "in to out"
2. Export > media
3. chose h.264 (or something like that)
4. i think i selected something like "match sequence settings"
5. checked "render at maximum bitrate" (or high bitrate?)
6. selected "2 pass"
7. on the two slider things - about bitrate something, the bottom one I slid all the way to the right because that didn't affect the size of my project file, the top slider I only moved over to 14-ish. (I changed this setting each time I re-tried to export, in case it was the problem)
My file size was around 1400MB - its a 14 minute long project with video and still images put to music and voice over.
I'm really freaking out.  If anyone is awake, reading this, and knows what to do, please help me!
Thanks for your patience.  I'll try to give you as much info as I can remember, but I can't open up the export window anymore.

    I cannot export projects from GB in my MacBook into GB on my iPad3; nor can I export from IPad to my MacBook. I have tried going onto Apps update on the MacBook, but there were none available. I have read that this omission is to be corrected - can you confirm this is intended to happen, or is it already in process. While awaiting for this essential development, can you please suggest any way of transferring information either way?

  • Updated to CC 2014 and cannot find Select/focus area

    I just updated to CC 2014 and do not see the select focus option under the Select tab?

    I think I've seen that one other person has reported a problem like this here in the past few weeks.  I don't recall a resolution, but if no one else chimes in with specific advice, it may be that an uninstall and reinstall might be in order (on the general assumption that something went wrong with the install).
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Perhaps even before taking the "nuclear option" above, the "10,000 lb conventional bomb" option of resetting all your Photoshop preferences to defaults might be something to try:  To do so, press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • Updated to 2014 and now .MOV DSLR files are unsupported

    Hi dudes - I've been working on a commercial at work with Premiere CC 2014 and have a 2nd proof deadline tomorrow morning so I've taken a copy home with me. I had to update CC to open the file and suddenly I can't re-link any of the DSLR footage as it says it's unsupported, dosn't show in media browser and can't import either. A-cam stuff was all F55 and links fine. Oh and also I can still open all file formats including .MOV inside of CS6 (but obviously not the project file). Can anyone offer any advice or has anyone had a similar issue? Totally screwed if this doesn't work (also got another Premiere problem on another thread so this makes things even worse). I'm a big lover of Adobe products but it seems like every other week I have issues with Creative Cloud in one way or another and I dare not add up the amount of money I've lost over the last couple years due to virtual cock-ups. Adobe customer services rarely seem capable of solving any issues (or at least none of the people via the chat function - I can never get through on the phone) so I'm turning to the wonderful community You would be a god to me if you can help me out of this mess
    ps. just for added funzies, I was going to uninstall and re-install via the Creative Cloud application and after uninstalling it still says "up to date" and hasn't reverted to being installable again. Great
    Pps. Ha! Even better... it turns out you can't add "2014" as a tag in the discussion tags. Winning today
    Thanks in advance dudes!

  • Numbers update error occurred and cannot correct.  I went to purchases as directed by screen and cannot get any response to take action.  Help?

    During an update for Numbers an error occurred while I was away from the computer. I then got a message that  an error occurred during Numbers update and to go to purchases to correct.  Went to purchases and it shows that an error occurred but I cannot get any response to attempted commands. Any suggestions as to how I can get my Numbers application to update?

    When I selected Purchases at App Store the screen showed:
                                                                                                                 (Ccmmands shown)    
    Keynote               May 30,2014               Paused 0 bytes of 434 MB           Resume
    Numbers              May 30,2014                                                                    Installed

    OSX Mavericks     May 29,2014                                                                    Download
    When I selected "Check for Unfinished Downloads" on the store pulldown menu it produced message "All purchases have been downloaded", the "paused" on Keynote line disappeared, and the "Resume" changed to "Installed."
    I installed Mavericks update 10.9.3 on May 30, 2014, and 10.9.4 on July 8, 2014, with no error messages, just "Installation completed."  The last previous updates of the 3 apps was May 13,2014, also with no error notice.  Everything seems to be working as far as I know, so do you think I need to do anything?

  • HT1694 I have recently updated my iPad and cannot access my mail account (I can access it through Microsoft) but not the mail app that's on iPad.. It continually keeps saying cannot verify account or password.

    I have updated my pad and now cannot access my Email through mail on the ipad (I can access it on the internet via Microsoft ) I have tried changingassword and server to pop3... But nothing working that if read from ppl. Please help.. As I love using mail on the pad making it much faster and easier to view my mail. I don't wanna go back to logging in over the web....   Please help :)

    When resetting your password, did you turn on two-step authentication? If you did, the Mail App isn't compatible with it - either, you need to create an application password and use that to log in using the iPhone Mail App, (instead of your Microsoft Account password) or disable two-step authentication to make it work.

  • I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

    I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

    Hi Eustace.
    Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

  • Dramatically slower encode/render times from Premiere Pro CC 2014 via both AME 2014 and direct export via PP

    My recent update to Adobe CC 2014 apps has been an unmitigated disaster.  Was running the 2013 version until last week and everything was just dandy.  Very good performance and excellent render/encode times even for stuff with lots of filters and fx. 
    Since update 1-2 min videos with no fx or filters (or even transitions) have gone from exporting in under two minutes to well over 25 minutes.  These exports are with the same presets I regularly use (Vimeo 720HD H.264). 
    I've been poking around the forums here for two days looking for answers and can't find anything that works.  Tried the whole "App Nap" toggle as well as a few other tips.  Didn't do squat.  Looking for any hints/answers.  Thanks.

    All right.  More experimentation has been done.  Seems like the renaming of Adobe folders fix prescribed in the link below might have helped a bit.
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 renders are painfully slow.
    You can rename folders, but I prefer to do it this way: Premiere Pro CC freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)

    Kicked out a 1 minute edit with some color/fx in under 10 minutes.  Not as fast as in the past but at least the CPU seemed to be cranking at 500% and above per Activity Monitor.  Its barely gone over 250% in previous attempts.
    That sounds a lot better.

    Same 1 minute edit took 35 minutes however when I exported from a PP timeline using MXF clips instead of QTs.  I assumed the QTs would speed up the process but in the past I've gotten great performance on big old RED raw files so still a bit of mystery why I can't approach the speeds I had prior to most recent CC update.
    Maybe updating your project file has something to do with it. I'll keep my eye on this issue. Thanks for reporting.

  • I updated to Yosemite and cannot turn on extensions in Safari

    I updated to Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro and now cannot turn on extensions in Safari (8.0), Preferences, Extensions. When I move the slide button to the "on" position it immediately moves to the "off" position. I turned off all extensions and restarted Safari and it did not help. Thank you for the help.

    Howdy peze,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with keyboard shortcuts in one specific app, Safari, since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. Take a look at the article linked below which describes a similar issue and walks you through the process of identifying conflicting keyboard shortcuts.

  • Cannot export project to video

    Hello all. I was previously using Premiere Elements4 and just upgraded to 9. I opened up a project I created in 4 and went to export it but when I go to File>Export, the Export option is gray and not selectable. All I want to do is export it to an AVI file so I can burn it along with others to a dvd later.
    Why the heck can't I select Export?

    In newer versions of the program, the export features have been moved to the Share tab.
    Use Share/Computer/AVI and you'll get a DV-AVI from your project.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro (13" )laptop and cannot export photos from I Photo to my desktop or to a flash drive.

    I am trying to export photos from Iphoto to a folder on my desktop and seem to be unable to do this as a big X appears on the bottom of the photo and it says it can not export photo.  Any ideas how to solve this problem so that I can download photos from I photo to my desktop?

    Barbara ..
    You can export photos  via email, a MobileMe Gallery, Flickr, Facebook, Photo Stream, iWeb, or to a burn folder but not to a folder on your Desktop or a flash drive.
    Workaround is to connect the flash drive then drag the photos from your iPhoto library to the flash drive icon on the Desktop.

  • Updated iPhoto 11 and cannot open Events with double click or any other way. I can only view those photos by creating an album from all of them, then I can open the album and edit or delete etc.  Any one have that problem?

    After upgrading to iPhoto 11 and the latest upgrade 9.4.1 (701 67) I cannot open any Event.  The normal double click does not work, nor anything else I have tried. The only way I can view the photos in an Event is to make an Album of it, and then I can easily open it with a double click and edit and delete, arrange photos etc.  Anyone have this problem. Any ideas about how to open an event?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
