  • boot drive crash _ now corrupted Adobe PR CS4 project files

    Posted by Aaron Shadwell on February 23, 2010 at 7:25 am

    hey all this is my first post:Thanks Very much I have gotten lots of great help from this site!!

    So I was having some work done on my Computer and the Bootdrive with my OS and apps was killed…cooked gone….the tech made a mistake and feels like a real Dork, but he will get over it.

    I had my media and project files on a another drive, however, the project files are not playing back the right way.

    I have Voice over , stills and AVI video the VO and still are fine but the avi video files show up on the timeline the regions even have the original cuts and placement and file ID on the time line BUT when played back they dont display the correct part of the footage, it almost as if someone took the slide tool and just messed with my edits. in addition the video portion of the file locks up a few frames in but the audio portion of the file plays on. to be clear every other part of the timeline plays back fades and “pans” (on the stills) I have tried to replace the footage and have confirmed that the AVI files in my source folder are working just fine.

    my rig/config is listed below, many thanks for reading this!

    dell vostro
    Intel core2 Quad-core
    Adobe PR CS4.2.1
    window xp pro SP3 32bit
    2 gigs ram
    ATI 3450 vid card HDMI out to 27inch consumer flat
    4 internal sata drives for a total of about 2t of storage ( 250GB is for *NEW* bootdrive)

    i should also mention that another one of the drives is now set up with Win 7 64bit, the plan is to slowly move over to that OS in hopes to deal with some other problems.

    Hi Aaron,

    You might try deleting all your preview files, then go to Preferences > media > Clean media database, then restart Premiere.
