Dear Sirs/Madams,
I need your help urgently.

I have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 7.0a.

I tried to open earlier created project with opening .vf file.

Following Error message pops up: An error occurred while loading the project DVDVersio3.vf The COM object failed to initialize, Details 8b402600-3f54-48cf-aea6-eedf77261b88 - Media Generator
8b402600-3f54-48cf-aea6-eedf77261b88 - Media Generator

How can I open the project?

Please help

Kind Regards

Petteri

just a guess but since Media Generator is a 'feature' of VMS and the GUID is listed along with it, is it possible that the install of VMS wasn't complete (looks like the media generator objects weren't properly registered in the registry)? or maybe the old project you are converting uses a different/older/incompatible version of those objects than the ones you have registered? what version of VMS was the original project created under?

It was earlier, original project was created 3rd December 2008 with same PC and software I try to open with.

Only thing has changed that I had boris FX trial installed but I removed it from my pc in a meanwhile.

The media generators used in this project where just text and on graphical overlay from VMS. Not anything from Boris.

I reinstalled VMS but it did not help.
