Can't create new project?

[Mark]

Hi Guys - Not sure what's going on, but I'm not able to create a new project. When I'm in an old project I press FILE - NEW PROJECT, the project settings box comes up, but when I enter the new project name and press OK, nothing is happening. Do you have any suggestions please?

Thanks
Mark

Ah, yes...

You have created a new project...
It simply contains the material from your old project.

That's why it looks like the old project.

This depends of on the version of edius you are using.
Now a new project is a new project without the old stuff.
You can export import bin structure or project.

if it is 4.5 make sure you are not creating a new sequence is stead of a new project. :)

My users and I have noticed this however on both our 4.54 systems sometimes Edius locks sometimes not. Either way the Project name in the top left of the time line does not change form the old project and it should. To make sure I'm in the new project I try opening a project from within Edius and found the new project's folder but the new project file does not exist. Seems were stuck with Save AS in a current project then deleting everything in order to start a "NEW" project. Any ideas appreciated Any ideas appreciated

I personally save and exit current project and then start a new one when starting Edius

I use a default project that is set up with all of the common folders that I use in every project. Every time I start a new project, I open the default project and then immediately use Save As and give it the appropriate name.

This is my workflow.

Okay I figured it out. Man I feel stupid. By default 4.54 does not have default "Project Presets". You have to create them first then when you click on a preset you are prompted to give it a name and path and that becomes you new project.

We upgraded from 4.24 where this worked fine. Now all we see is recently opened projects. We don't have a default or untitled project as an option.

I do

I made myself a 16:9 default and 4:3 default in the bottom half of the startup screen, then I simply doubleclick one or the other and type a name, done
