Cannot access a closed stream

May 24, 2021

Hello,

I am able to save my project file fine until I add a video. Then I try to save and get the error Cannot access a closed stream and am unable to save the project file. If I delete the video, I am able to save the project file again. 

What can I do?

Hello Erin,

Sorry you're running into that error! The message 'cannot access closed stream' could indicate file corruption, but I have a few more questions for you to narrow down the cause:

I'm staying tuned for your responses so we can continue troubleshooting!

Hi Deborah,

Sorry to hear that you ran into this snag. 

It looks like you are working directly on a network drive while making changes to your project file. We recommend moving your project file to a local directory on your computer if you are able to do so to reduce the risk of running into file related issues. 

As a troubleshooting step, can you try doing a 'Save As' of your project and then saving a new version of your project to either your 'My Documents' or 'Desktop'? 

If the issue persists, open a case with our support team here so we can provide further assistance.
