I see no video after tranferring 6.5 project to 1.5
I’ve had a request to re-edit a project I edited in 6.5. The original clips are on a drive connected by firewire. The 6.5 project file is located on a striped drive, and I set the scratch pads to the same drive. I opened the 6.5 in PP1.5 and it started the conversion of 317 preview files and 17,199 frames.
I was asked where two stills were located and I indicated that location, after that the conversion did not ask me for any other file locations. And none of the original clips appear in the Project file.
As the conversion progressed, I received the following “Error Message”:
“An unknown error occurred while saving the project. Select ‘Save As’ from the file menu to save the project to a new location.”The transfer seemed complete so I saved the project transfer under a new name in the same directory.
All tracks on the timeline are locked, as I left it in 6.5. I can see all the thumbnails of video clips, I can also hear the vo, clip ambient sounds and music background, but I don’t see any video. I left the programme after saving, and restarted it, but no video. I restarted the OS and opened 1.5, but I still do not have any pictures in the monitor window.
I can see the drive light for the source clips is active when the timeline is being loaded, but no access to video in monitor window. I unlocked Vid 1 and highlighted it, but still no video.
Any collective wisdom appreciated…. And it’s probably something obvious, and I appreciate your patience.
Cheers,

I guess I’ll answer what I found out in my investigation of this problem:
I found that the DV Playback Settings
under Project Settings, General weren’t set correctly. When I set to
Playback on DV Hardware and Desktop, the video came up.NOW, the only thing missing are the multitude of “BINS” where all of
the original clips were specified. And the titles are incomplete and
use the wrong fonts.Me Myself in Toronto
