Can’t open all my Premiere projects over the network?!
We have 10 different 60 minute films that we have been editing over the last 30 days. We have three different editing work stations and move SATA Raids around. Some of the projects can be opened over the network for minor editing, mostly After Effects work or even burn a DVD over the network. We find a project, click on it, and the project begins to load and then I get this message: “Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.”
I would say that half the projects open, the other half do not.
We were thinking that if one of the files needed was on an unshared drive that this could be the reason, but all drives appear to be shared properly.
All machines are running XP Pro.

Premiere Pro doesn’t work well on a network. Does the above error message go away when you open the project on a local drive?

Every file relating to each project is contained on an external ESata Raid. We discovered that the projects that do not open over the network, also will not open when the External Raid is moved to another workstation…. The goal is to be able to capture in one room, pick up the ESata drive, then finish the project in another room…..It’s just weird that some projects open fine, while others give me the error message.

You need to make sure of a couple things for this to work dependably – you need to assign the drive the same letter on each workstation you attach it to and you need to make sure all the workstations are set to “same as project” for the location of all the files. We’ve been doing it for months without errors as long as both those parameters are set properly.
