Is that a CS5/CS5.5 project, or a new CS6 project that will not reopen?

If an earlier version project, do you have any plugin effects?

This error message is caused by the project having a sequence whose settings are no longer available to Premiere Pro. One example is if the sequence was created on a system with third-party hardware, like AJA or Blackmagic, and you try opening it on a system without that hardware. Another example is if the sequence uses MPEG for preview, and your MPEG codecs get smurfed.

It was a project that I have used in CS6. Is just happened that I cannot open them. I dont think there are any codecs that are no longer on the machine.

What about the MOEG preview thing, how can I see if that can be the case?

I just opened a 5,5 project. Used it in CS6 and exported (no problem), saved it as CS6, Closed it and tried to re-open and got the error.

OK.

Close all the folders and post another screen grab of the CS6 sequences.

This is the error message.

I can open CS5,5 files and work with them If I save them for CS6 and try to re-open I get this error. I get this when opening.

I have no idea what 3rd party compenents it is talking about. Can I see that somewhere?

All your MPEG presets are missing. That happens sometimes. Here's what I've seen suggested as a fix.

Deactivate if possible
Uninstall
Run Clean Script several times, rebooting after each run
Install
Activate
Update

Does Clean Script affect other CS6 programs?

If you install the complete suite again, no.

Just deactivate and reactivate. No need to uninstall.

The problem is that the activation system is broken, and that is preventing the unlocking of certain codecs.

The recommended series of actions is this:

1. Deactivate.

2. Quite Premiere Pro.

3. Restart your computer.

4. Restart Premiere Pro.

5. Activate.

6. Create a new project.

7. See if the MPEG-based and RED sequence presets are available. If so, open your project. If not, something else is wrong.

This is an ongoing problem for me. Is there a permanent fix for this or am I going to have to jump through hoops everytime I want to open a project?
