Display Unavailable???
Can’t figure this one out. Client waiting. All help appreciated.
Was having problems with a canvas error: “Display unavailable. Close window and reopen”. I did that and now can’t reopen it. Says :not found” when I double click to open. Tried opening a new sequence and nesting first on into that. Didn’t work. The :30 second spot is there and I can scrub through but it won’t play (on the nested sequence).
As far as content goes, it’s just normal stuff; raw footage, graphics, juice drops. I changed nothing on the setups. Tried closing, rebooting, cursing, tazer threats, all with no luck.
If anyone knows the answer I’ll send you a genuine ‘Roswell Alien’. Cute, cuddly and it tastes like chicken, really.
Thanks,

Also, I get a second error message with I double click to open the original sequence: “out of memory”.

Restart the computer….seems like an obvious answer but Mac users tend to forget that Mac’s are still prone to random bouts of stupidity, and like on PC’s, a restart is the great equalizer…..I use to run into out of memory errors and/or random stuff like that on an older machine we had. Restarting usually fixed everything.

Thanks Dennis,
I tried restarting the machine with no luck. But after reading an older post that suggested going to a backup project I was able to salvage the ad. Still don’t know why it did that but glad the fix was almost painless.
Thanks again.

You beat me to it (you probably found my one of my old answers…) – the ‘out of memory’ message usually means a corrupted project file, in my experience. Get down on your knees and thank the autosave – again…
