    "Locating Media" taking AGES... can't open project (CS6)

    jackdelamare Community Member

      Hello,

       

      While I've been away at University I have been editing a film from an external hard drive on my Macbook Pro (with Windows 7 installed), the old 17" Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz Macbook Pro. While it's sometimes a struggle, it handles the editing but would no way be able to render the film in full HD in the time I need it for, and would probably catch on fire before it finished exporting it.

       

      But anyway, at home where I am now, I have a desktop PC - Core 2 Quad, 3.00GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 and when I originally began this project I used this machine and the project ran fine. I have used this machine for films in the past and never had an issue, it's been great to edit on and exporting is much quicker than my laptop.

       

      But there's a problem. I've come back home and need to export this film for Tuesday's premiere. But the project won't open on the desktop PC. It's fine on my laptop, but when I open it in Premiere CS6 on my desktop it displays the box "Locating media..." with the bar half way across but it seems to be stuck. The program isn't frozen but it seems to just not be importing anything anymore, like it's given up. I'm not sure what to do, I can't get into this project.

       

      What could be causing the problem?

       

      Thanks in advance!

      Jack
