    "Save Project as" -- Beach Ball spinning for a long time????

    EdwurdAdam Community Member

      Hi,

       

      I wanted to make some changes to an Encore project I am working on.

       

      I opened up the Original Project, Deleted the timeline and then replaced it with another encoded timeline.

       

      I then re-linked my chapters and presed File ---- Save Project As ---- renamed it and pressed OK.

       

      I still wanted to keep the original just in case I needed it again.

       

      As soon as I pressed save (for the Save project as), the dialog box came up and on the top of that it says "Save Project as" , but it has been five minutes since I did the "Save as" and I got the Colored Beach Ball spinning in Encore.

       

      Is this supposed to happen. Is it trying to save it?  Or did Encore Freeze?  How long do I wait until I Force quit?

       

      Thanks

       

      Encore 5.1

          For Save As, Encore copies everything in its folder structure, which includes transcodes of assets while in Encore (using AME or encore). It usually shows its progress, however.

           

          I prefer to "save as" before I start making changes. Encore is just too likely to get confused.

           

          But the way you are doing it, inside Encore is the right way, and it should work.

           

          If you see disk activity, I'd keep waiting.

           

          Force quit can result in problems and  you don't have a save as backup yet.
