Project Manager Error

[djparkerdiver]

Hello

Wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. Im trying to move a project from my MacBook to my iMac using the method of Project Manager; Collect files and copy to new location.

But every time I try this I get a error message saying "an unknown error occurred during the project manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation". I tried that and still no luck.

Anyone able to shed light on the situation would be great. Or is there another way to move the project easily?

Many thanks

Dan

this more reasonable, for me who only need few of my clip in sequence, so not exporting unused footage.

Same error on Premiere CC 2019. If it's almost a year. Has Adobe made recommendations to this issue? I will try turning off Preview files for now but that shouldn't be fix as some of my clients would like to have to files as well. Anyone from Adobe care to officially answer this questions? it's almost a year since it came up as a post.

I'm having the same issues as well. On top of that my footage keeps going black while editing in PP. My Graphic card is a 1070 gtx. I'm tired of adobe lol

So I just found some nested sequences in my cut. I suspect that's what was getting me the error. What I did was export the sequence I want to consolidate as it's own Premiere project, then select the same options in the project manager. It presented me with the names of the other sequences that are nested in the sequence I'm trying to output. I selected all of them, no issues. Bug fixed. Much more organized than sorting through the project manager window in my giant project.

more than a year, no any official updated version of PR to solve this PB? SAD! Lucily there's a solution workaround, thanks robgwilson!

Hi,

I had the same error today (July 24, 2019) on the latest CC update of Premiere Pro. I tried unchecking "include preview files." That didn't work. Then I went back and tried unchecking "Export Media Files to Match Clip Names." That didn't work.

Then I tried unchecking "Exclude Unused Clips." That worked. I was finally able to export the project.

Same story for me. It's a weird glitch, as there is so much media and the point is to "consolidate" and keep only what's necessary for the project. Thanks for everyone's help!

This was a lifesaver. After trying numerous things include renaming half my SFX library to avoid any possibly "special characters", I cannot believe that unchecking "exclude unused clips" would fix it. Thanks!.

[jacksneogen]

This worked for me, thanks. Actually, I just went ahead and unchecked all the boxes. Not ideal, but a solution.

Finally figured out what was happening with my project and I hope this helps someone. I had two .txt files which were readme files for the next person to use as ref while working on the project. Turns out deleting these files fixed the issue for me.

[Volodymyr5DD6]

Thanks a lot! Clearing .txt files from the project worked for me!

[ARead]

I was getting this error for a project and couldn't figure out why. I tried unchecking the box for "Include Preview Files" and it finally worked! Hope that works for you, too.

Still doesn't work 😞Still not working

I found that removing the .mov or any special characters on any of the files being Transcoded worked for me.

When i faced this issue in 99% cases it was solved by unchecking "Include Audio Conform Files"

[mardus]

Yeah, but no.

[Studio Expression]

That's the one that worked for me

For me, I had to get rid of all my .braw files. I opened the folder that all the files were being copied to and sorted by date added, so I could see where it failed each time. So if you are working with Blackmagic Raw then maybe that's an issue too.

[Brentfilms]

The .braw files are 100% the issue for me.  I've had this same problem in the past with mixed media (mp4, .mov, and .braw)  I couldn't get the project to "collect files and copy to new location" no matter what boxes I checked or unchecked.  Then I removed the .bdraw clip as a test and it worked flawlessly!

For that project, I had to transcode the .braw clips I was using to .mp4 and replace the original camera media in the sequence.  (I was sending the sequence to be finished by another editor.)

But now I'm trying to collect files in a project that is exclusively .braw for VFX work that will need the ORIGINAL .braw data and I think I'm screwed.   Can't get the sequence to collect and copy and don't see a workaround.   ADOBE, please fix this bug!

Have you been able to figure this out? I need someone to color correct my project and I have to send it to them. I am using braw files and it is not working. 

[Max0D45]

I’m having this exact problem right now on premiere using braw files I have no solution atm very frustrating need to send this to get colored and now I can’t smh. Let me know if you find a solution 

[Philippe5FCA]

Still the same issue. I unchecked/checked every box there is. No luck. All .braw clips. Damn...

[mardus]

Yeah, still not fixed.

[chukwukao78284311]

I unchecked all the options. chose a local file location and then copied to my external drive

This may have work for some people, but turning off the INCLUDE PREVIEW FILES seems to be the best solution, judging by all the likes under the comment by brettc42277808
