  • Can’t open CS6 project files that were moved off another drive

    Posted by David Busse on March 20, 2013 at 9:54 pm

    I recently bought a Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 RAID5 from OWC and transferred all of my files from my external hard drives onto the RAID. When doing this I maintained my folder structures. Now Premiere will not let me open any CS6 project files off of the RAID. It always asks me to connect to an AE composition and then after I tell it what to connect to it crashes and gives a non-specific reason as to why it crashed(“a serious error occurred”). I also tried mounting the old hard disk, then doing a ‘save as’ of the project on my RAID5, and then opening up the new project file and it did not work either.

    BTW all of my CS5.5 project files that I moved open just fine. If it matters I also am running the trial version of CS6.

    I am running off of a 2011 Mac Mini with Lion (10.7.5)
    8GB RAM
    2.7GHz Intel Core i7 Processor

    Thanks

    Have you checked and rest the permission on the drive with the moved files on it?
    Sound to me like you as the user don’t have write permission to those files.

    Pat,
    I am opening these files from the same user account on my RAID as I was using for my external hard drive so user permission should not be an issue. However, I did check user permissions and made sure that every category of users on my computer had read and write access and the same thing still happened.
    Thanks
    David
