I’ve moved all the files to another location and I’ve deleted the entire PPCS4 cache folder and the project still won’t load.

Well, moving the files didn’t work. It still won’t load.

Now I’m afraid to even use the program again. I can’t afford to spend days on a project and then lose it for no reason.

CS4 just has too many bugs for me.

-audio/video rendering out of sync despite being in sync in the timeline.

-updates screw things up

-stop button on monitor doesn’t stop time indicator until you release the mouse making it virtually impossible to make exact cuts. This is VERY annoying to me and time consuming.

I’ve loved everything about 1.5 but CS4 is a huge dissapointment and it looks like I’m now going to have to explore other options for HDV editing.

CS4 sucks.

Thanks Jon, I’m going to give this a try.

It has to be AE related, because this happened right after I made a couple of changes to some files in AE which were still embedded in PP CS4.

With most of the projects I work on, I use PP and AE at the same time importing and exporting in and out of each program. I’m always changing AE files still embedded in PP. I’ve done this for the last 3 years constantly with ZERO problems using PP 1.5 and AE. I’m on probably my 5th project in PP CS4 so far and I’m already having a major issue using this workflow.

There’s also several other bugs with CS4 that has me scratching my head.
