Problem opening Pinnacle Studio Plus 9 Project

Hi,
Can you help me with a problem ... I had Pinnacle Studio Plus 9 on my PC (windows XP professional, wity SP3) with the extra features (unlock code) purchased.
My PC recently crashed (blue screen) but I recovered the data and re-loaded the Studio plus program from the disc.
I noticed that although the program was returned as it was before crashing (including the items released by purchasing the activation key) it wouldn't open my most recent projects that were created after I purchased the activation key. The earlier (completed) projects, done without the extra features being activated would open fine.
The rror message just reads ''Studio plus cannot open file'' with no reason given.
I the downloaded the trial version of Pinncle Studio 14 Ultimate edition to see if it could open the projects and it does but without the ability to edit the sound! It won't even allow you to mute the video soundtrack or the added music soundtrack line. It recognises where I have altered the sound levels on my recovered project (and faded in or out etc on the timeline view) but ignores the fades or variations on audio playback and mixes added music with the orginal video audio. It did this on my laptop, so it's not a PC glitch.And the same thing happends with Studio 12. Does the Studio 14 trial version lock access to the sound editing? I am afraid that if I buy the full version I may see the same problem.
I have looked around all the forums and threads but no one seems to have had the same perblem.
Any assistance would be greatly apprecaited as I spent hours on these projects!
Thanks,
Edward G

SOURCE: when we're opening the project,

ok try 2 things,, I personally believe that the file typs your using isnt compressed and is the raw format which occupies a lot of memory and processor power which can be very time consuming..

1.) use an alternative file type like (divx (HD), or mpeg2 (DVD) or Xvid) personally i use Divx hight compression rate and almost no loss of quality)

2.) you can upgrade your machine or get one to meet this specs

at least 4 GB Ram
1 / 2 quad core processors (yes some boards carry multiple processors)
1 GB graphics Card (ATI Radeon) or G-Force..

there is another option and 1 I use as well

I built a multi processor system (parallel processing) commonly called a Render farm..

It involves having multiple computer called nodes connected to a server (development machine) all networked with special software. What it does is when it needs to render out an image its shared among all nodes GREATLY reducing render time. I do 3d development as a hobbie , on my development machine It took 57 hours for a 5 minute clip with my 15 nodes it took only 2 hours.. The more powerful the nodes the fater it works.

development machine
2 quad core processors
4 GB ram
1 GB ATI All In One wounder (graphics card)

nodes
1 quad core processor
4 GB Ram
1 GB network Adapter

Network
1 GB 16 port Switch
I use Back burner as the render client / server (software)

SOURCE: Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 14 - I can't get video

A general workaround would be to let your software create an ISO image instead of burning a disc. Then burn the ISO with a known-good burning software (many user here - me included - recommend ImgBurn).

File/Folder Permission Message in Pinnacle Studio 11 Plus

Hello welcome to FIxya!

Here you can check this procedure on how to open your files again.

"1) Check your Recycle Bin
2) Do a Folder/File Search for each of the Grey Folder Project names. This will display all Folders & Files with that Project Name. You are looking for an .stx File. If it's there, right-Click on Project Name / Open Containing Folder & Copy it to your My Projects Folder. Then you should have both the Grey Folder & .stx File for the same Project name, showing in your My Projects Folder.
If the Search doesn't display a .stx File, you can create a new one, by Opening a New empty Project, which will create a My Movie Grey Folder & a My Movie .stx File, Save to your My Projects Folder. Delete the My Movie Grey Folder & Rename the My Movie .stx File to the same name as your original Grey Folder."
So ...after finding my "lost" movie file, with its file name, under Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects i then went through the following procedures using your great advice Colour;
  1. Make a copy of your found "lost" movie grey film icon file by right mouse clicking on your lost file and choosing "copy". Paste the copy into another folder in Documents where you can find it if need be
  2. Then go back to Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and right mouse click onto your grey film icon. Choose "rename". Then rename your "lost" grey film icon to a new file name but do not put .stc at the end of the file name, if you are operating VISTA and Pinnacle 12. This is important because Pinnacle 12 won't recognise the file later if you have .stc in the file name
  3. Open Pinnacle and go to the File Menu
  4. Click on New Project
  5. Open File Menu again and click on Save File as
  6. Give the file a name such as "Movie 7" and save it
  7. Close out of Pinnacle
  8. Open up Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and observe that you now have 2 new files there ...a grey film icon file saying Movie 7 AND a coloured Pinnacle icon file saying Movie 7
  9. Delete the grey icon file with the file name Movie 7
  10. Now give your coloured Pinnacle icon file the exact same rename as your precious "lost" renamed grey movie icon file, using the right mouse click on rename proceedure as explained in No.2 above.
  11. Close out of Documents file
  12. Now open up Pinnacle again
  13. Go to Menu and choose Open Project
  14. There you will see the coloured Pinnacle icon file with the new name of your "lost" movie file.
  15. Click onto its coloured Pinnacle icon, and watch your "lost" movie come into view again
