  • Problem re-opening old job

    Posted by Greg Huson on August 22, 2013 at 12:15 am

    I have an old, delivered project, but we’re re-delivering one act for creative reasons. Most of it is the same shots, just in a different order – so I don’t want to re-grade the entire act.

    I call up the old project (or rather a copy of the old project) and point to the media folder- – which has a slightly different path after being restored from archive. The media reconnects fine on the ‘media’ page, and on the ‘color’ page, but the project locks up when I go to the ‘conform’ page (beach ball of death.)

    Since I need to use the conform page to import the revised XML to conform the re-arranged clips.. . any idea why I might be locking up on the conform page? Any clues appreciated.

    (Cross-posting to BM Post forum)
    (the project opened correctly a minute ago – then locked up after populating most of the conform page – I assumed it was working correctly but now is failing again.)

    I’d just create new project then use color trace to copy grades.

    I was hoping to avoid re-rendering media – but at this point that’s probably WAY quicker than all the screwing around I’ve done to try and solve this anyway. Thanks for the idea- should work.
