Why won't Premiere CS4 allow me to minimize or close?

I can open premiere CS4, make a new project and even import assets. But, when I try to Minimize, adjust the size of the screen, hit File, Edit, Help, etc. if freezes.  Only Alt. Ctrl Del gets me out of it. Anybody ever have the same problem?

You're not likely to get any help here. This is for suite specific issue only.
If nobody in the Premiere forum can help then my guess is you have a very specific issue to your system only.

    why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
    To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

  • Premiere CS4 unlinking and ungrouping video on close

    I'm working on a video editing terminal running Premiere CS4 v4.2.1. You can do any sort of grouping, linking or unlinking of video clips that you want, but as soon as you close the program (and then go back to it later), all of the clips are unlinked from their respective components (audio and video are unlinked) and any groupings you made are now gone.
    What's weird, though, is any clip that you don't touch (ie you don't group it with something else) is fine when you reload the project (the audio and video clips are still linked together like they should be, but ONLY if it wasn't grouped).
    All the video is on the local, internal hard drive. The scratch disks are also on the internal hard drive. The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    Any ideas?

  • Why won't data merge allow more than one data source at a time?

    I need to number tickets, 8 up on a tabloid page, in InDesign (CS5)
    I have found out how to use data merge, but it won't allow me to select more than one data source at a time, therefore, making me use 800 sheets of paper instead of 100. That's not acceptable!! Is there a way to merge the pdfs if I make 8 different ones in the places they need to be? Each file that I export will have 100 pages, so is there a way to merge the files to put all eight tickets on each sheet, sequentially? This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

    Past users have solved this frustrating problem. You can find their solutions with a Google search like "InDesign data merge multiple sequential items on one page" without quotes.

  • Why won't Premiere/Media Encoder export FLV?

    I seem to be unable to export to Flash Video under any circumstances. The result is the same regardless of what type of video I try to export: I have tried SD DV and HDV (more details below). In any case, the result is the same: AME loads, I click Start Queue, and it hangs with no progress in the conversion. When I check processes I see PPProHeadless, Import* and processcoordinationserver with no CPU utilization, and no progress in the output file. I end up having to end the AME application. I am able to export other types of video (MPEG-2, AVI, etc.) without a problem.
    Here is some more detailed information:
    The source video for one case was HDV 1440x1080 60i MPEG-2, and in the other case, a 720x480 SD DV AVI. I am outputting about 60 seconds of material, so I would not expect the process to take long. I have allowed AME to run for 15 minutes uninterrupted and there is no progress. When I Stop Queue and ask it to stop the current conversion, I get a hard hang and have to use TM to end the process. I have tried this process for all of the existing Flash Video export presets- none work. There is nothing interesting in the AME log (just a start queue description, which I'm appending to the end of this message).

  • Why won't premiere let me open past projects!?!

    This is about the tenth time that I have saved the project I was working on in order to open another one and create an effect! every time I try to open anything but my most recent project I am met by the same garbage error message "The project contains a sequence that could not be opened no sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type" WHY DO I ALWAYS GET THIS STUPID THING!!! IT'S UNDOING DAYS OF WORK!! And just in time for my Halloween special... it makes no sense to me... seriously, I have about 4 hours to fix this problem and completely edit about a 2.5 hour video for my YouTube show's Halloween special... I have maybe an hour before I'm going to have to start over AGAIN!! The error crosses all save formats and every single file besides my most recent which still gets an error, just a different one!

  • Why won't my Mac allow me to print my whole iTunes wish list?

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and I'm trying to print my iTunes wishlist. For some reason, the whole list won't print. I have about 325 songs in my wishlist, but I can't print but 115. I have changed all the printer settings possible but can't find a solution. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Thank you, Advance 23, for your interest. I am not generally having a problem printing multiple pages. I am, however, having a problem specifically printing my entire iTunes wish list. I do not receive an error message. When I click on print, it shows 13 pages to be printed. It does print 13 pages, but only the first 41/2 pages contain part of the list. The rest of the pages are blank. "All" is selected as the number of pages to print. I'm not sure what you mean by a program from which I am printing the list. I just have my HP printer set up as my printer for my Mac, and it prints all of my documents. What I have done instead of printing the list is take screenshots directly from the wish list and printing them. I cannot copy and paste it into Pages or TextEdit because only the first 41/2 pages of the list show up in the pages to be printed section. It would be really great if you could solve this problem. 

  • Why won't My Macbook allow me to download adobe flash player

    I just got this used macbook yesterday, I put all my apple info in this computer, It let me download other downloads not Aodobe... It says my password is wrong but I know for a fact it's right why?

    Are having trouble downloading the AdobeFlashPlayer installer file from Adobe's web site, or is your problem difficulty running the installer?
    Please explain exactly the process you are going through and any errors that come up.
    Also it would be useful to know what version of the Mac operating system you are using.
    Best of luck.

  • Why won't Premiere Elements 8 launch on windows 7?

    I have installed photoshop and premiere elements 8 onto my new computer from the original disks that I purchased a few years ago.  Photoshop launches fine.  Element, however, goes into the welcome screen and all looks well...that is until I try to launch 'New Project' or even 'Organize' or 'Open Project'..I click the icon, it seems busy for about 20 seconds, then simply goes back to the welcome screen.  The program will not open..period!.. I have made sure the video driver is up to date, that Quick Time is up to date, I installed the update from the Adobe website to 8.1, even tried reinstalling the program..still nothing.. My kids rock band is coming out tonight to start their music video, and I am not ready to rock n roll over here...HELP!!!  ANY SUGGESTIONS?........

    Welcome to the forum.
    This ARTICLE offers a checklist of things to do, to get PrE to run most smoothly, then goes into several links on tuning up one's computer and their OS, and finally has links on troubleshooting, which rather work up in "degree of difficulty."
    Also, you state that your audio and video drivers are up to date. Did you check on the mfgr's. Web sites, and compare their latest drivers with those that you have installed? If not, that would be my very first step. If one relies on Windows, or any utility to tell if they have the latest drivers, they will likely be at least 6 mos. out of date. Same with a new computer - the drivers will likely be 6 mos, or more, out of date. One needs to go to each mfgr's. Web site and check.
    Also, if there are Audio editing programs on the computer, see this ARTICLE for some possibilities.
    Good luck, and if nothing is helpful, then please list the full specs. of your computer.
