I have just finished a project for the third time. However when I close it down and try to reopen it, it gives me an error message. "this file has been moved, write protected or is currently being used by another program'. I don't think so. I NEVER delete or move items when in post production on anything. Secondly I didn't write protect it unless Premiere automatically does it for you. Thirdly I just opened Premiere for the first time, so it can't be in use by any other program, can it? I am using Premeire LE 5.1. so could it be a program limitation? That wouldnt make sense. I read the users guide and it offers no solutions. I am getting behind and would be very appreciative of some answers. Thanks. [sig][/sig]
