Opening older Premiere project with CS3 - no sequence! Like it was deleted

I am not sure what exact version of Premiere was used but I think it was 6.0 or 6.5. Very simple, few minutes and single time line/sequence.
When this is opened in CS3 it opens the project normally (asks for ".prtl" or title files), shows the Bin with all the files but there is no sequence - no edited content what so ever. The whole thing is gone.
The .prproj file has over 170 XML tags linking the .avi files and the rendered videos. I have tried to create new project with same aspect and PAL and then "import" but it does not give the sequence/time line which is missing.
Any ideas?

  • How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

    In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website

    Hello Andieas
    Why open a new window for fast browsing??
    Open new tabs.
    Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
    It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
    Hope you'll like it

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?

  • Opening 6.0 projects in CS3 Premiere Pro

    I am planning on up grading my editing system and I am currently evaluating the latest version of Premiere VS switching to a Mac and final cut.
    When I attempt opening previous projects edited on 6.0 I get the Message:
    The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded. The project will be opened in Desktop mode.
    Do you have any suggestion on how I can open my previous projects?
    Thanks
    Robert Jackson
    System Information:
    Adobe Premiere 6.0
    Matrox Video Tools version: 3.1.0.2127b
    Matrox RT2500
    Dell Dimension 8300
    Intel ® Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz, 2.99 GHz, 200.GB of Ram

    There may not be a way to do what you desire. I don't think Matrox supplies any drivers for the 2500 working with CS3. Without them, it's no surprise things don't work correctly.

  • Opening old Premiere Projects in Premiere Pro CS5

    I have some old video projects which I've saved to disk with the idea that I could go back and edit them later.  I just tried to open one of these old projects in Premiere Pro CS5 and it doesn't recognize the old Premiere Pro project.  PP CS5 projects now end with *.prel or *.prproj.  My old projects (some done in Premiere 6, some in PP CS) ended with *.ppj.  I opened the *.ppj file properties and tried changing them from "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS" to "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5", but it looks like the file suffix remains *.ppj and PP CS5 still doesn't recognize it.
    Is there a way I can convert my old PP projects to PP CS5 so they can be opened/edited in my current software?
    Thanks.
    --Dave

    David,
    Per my earlier post, if you change that from All Supported Media to All Files, can you Import?
    [Edit] I see that All Files did work, and that you are up and editing! That is great news.
    As mentioned, the only issue that I had was with a very few 3rd party Transitions, and PrPro was nice enough to tell me exactly where these were used, and what their names were. I just wrote down those TimeCodes, added Cross-Dissolves to replace whatever the previous editor had used, and was up and editing.
    Now, I did have to go through the "Where is file ____?" process, as the previous editor had drawn Assest from ALL over an external HDD, with no folder structures, or anything useful - what a kludge! I organized all of the Assets (many thousands) into logical order, and once I had re-established the links, all went beautifully.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - the reason that I asked about platforms is that Pr was X-platofrm, but then with PrPro, through version 2.0, it was PC-only. It was not until CS3, that it went back X-platform. This created a little problem for Mac users, with newer PrPro versions, but older PC Projects. We get about 1 of these issues per year, and the answer is for the Mac user to befriend a PC-person, with the right version of PrPro, do that Import step, then Save_As, and hand off the now, X-platform version of the PRPROJ. Hey, it fosters "hands across the aisle," and we've found several PC-users, with the right versions around here, who have done that conversion, out of the kindness of their hearts. That had zero to do with your Project, but wanted you to know why I asked.

  • Can't open 1.0 projects in CS3 (no subtitles)

    After working with Encore 1.0 for forever and a day, I finally got PPro CS3 with its accompanying Encore (running on Windows XP SP2). But I cannot open any Encore 1.0 projects. Trying to open my current project, I get this complaint:
    >Encore cannot open Encore 1.0 projects. Open and save the project in Encore 2.0 or earlier, then try again.
    A search turned up
    this Knowledge Base article. It claims the reason is subtitles, but I have no subtitles in this project (in fact, I have only used subtitles once ever, and this was definitely not that project).
    As a test, I tried opening various older project files. In a couple instances Encore CS3 gave the same error as above, but most of the time it simply crashed, with the following "details":
    >AppName: adobe encore.exe  AppVer: 3.0.0.268  ModName: sonicauthorcore.dll
    ModVer: 3.0.0.268  Offset: 004e4e20
    The message or crash would not occur immediately, but after the several-second process of "preparing transcode settings", etc. that occurs in a small window with a progress bar, if you know what I'm talking about. So it seems like it doesn't like something about the assets it is processing, but I don't know what, because all these projects are different, and most were started from scratch as fresh projects, with video and menus created independently from other projects (some menus created within Encore 1.0, others using Photoshop CS2; some video streams brought in as AVI, others as MPEG2-DVD).
    Ironically, if I try to open the only project I have that actually
    does have subtitles, Encore CS3 is the most civil, and in theory it might even successfully open the project. It says:
    >This project contains subtitles in an older format. Opening the project will convert the subtitles to the new format, but the subtitles will no longer be compatible with the version of the software used the create them. Would you like to continue opening the project and perform this conversion?
    I chose not to "continue" until I know more about why Encore is crashing, because it might convert the subtitles and then crash! But one unique thing about that project (besides the existence of subtitles) is that the solitary video stream is a VOB file from a DVD previously burned, rather than the more typical MPEG2 or AVI. I have no idea if any of this information matters, but I'm telling you everything I know.
    Does anyone know what might be causing the problem, particularly with non-subtitled projects, and/or a solution or workaround? I own no version in between 1.0 and CS3, so I can't save it 1.5 or 2.0, which is the only other action suggested by the KB article besides removing my non-existent subtitles...

    In followup:
    This is a distillation of the process for converting a Project from a previous version of Encore to a newer version remotely.
    The problem: a user had Encore 1.0 and needed to get the Project into CS4. They did not have any intermediate version of Encore. The Encore 1.0 Project was shipped to me, to convert it in Encore 2.0, so that CS4 could deal with it. Because the computers were a few thousand miles apart, we had to do more than just Open the Project in Encore 2.0. This would be all that would be required if the versions were on the same machine, or over a LAN and just in different offices.
    The entire folder structure is required. The Project will be in a folder (Ill call this the Mother Folder) with the .NCOR file, and then a series of Child Folders below in the hierarchy. The exact names and the exact folder hierarchy is extremely important, as is the placement of some of the necessary files. The name of the .NCOR and the first level of Child Folders must match exactly. The structure is the one we see with each Encore Project:
    Mother Folder with .NCOR
    Child Folder Level One (same exact name as .NCOR with the
    two files:
    i ProjectPrefs2.xml &
    i ProjectWorkspace.xml
    Child Folder Level Two Cache with file mlf.cache.v7"
    Child Folder Level Two Sources
    Child Folder Level Three Menus with Menu .PSD files
    In this case, the folder structure, with Menus and all files, except Video and Audio Assets were shipped to me. All Transcode files, etc. were also omitted.
    Once the .NCOR (older version) has been Opened in the later version, a Save_As will create a new Project with folder/file structure. This entire structure needs to be in place on the machine with the newer version to allow it to be Opened. In my case, this complete structure was archived in WinRAR as a .RAR file and shipped out.
    All of this is probably very obvious to most others. Again, if one is working on the same machine, or a LAN connected set of machines, it is a lot easier. Im just listing the steps and requirements, should Encore Projects be Opened on remote machines, whether for testing or for conversion.
    [I just hope that the formatting of this doesn't get "pear-shaped," when posted]

  • IDVD '08 suddenly won't open older iDVD projects

    All of a sudden, my iDVD projects created with iDVD 06 will not open in iDVD '08.
    No changes to the system or software, currently running iDVD 7.0.2.
    I've copied older iDVD projects from an external HD to my desktop and tried to open them with iDVD, and iDVD goes unresponsive after about 5 minutes. I've tried opening them directly from the external HD and still no joy.
    Ownership and permissions don't seem to be a problem, and the files are not "project locked".
    One week ago, this process was working like a charm. (Occasional "project locked" issues, but that's a trivial fix) Now, with absolutely no SW updates or anything, it's hanging up on me.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have you solved it?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can I open a new project with 5 or 10 bins already in the browser?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if I have to create and name five to ten bins every time I open a new project. Or is there a way to set FCP preferences to have a certain amount of bins and their names open every new project?
    Thanks

    You could however, create a "template" project. If you new the bins were going to be named the exact same thing for every project.
    Just create a project, set up your bins and save as "template.fcp" (or whatever the fcp extension is, I can't remember right off hand.) Keep that somewhere you can find it, and then open it up and save it as a new project name anytime you need a project with that set up.
    I do this for my projects because there is another editor that I work with that doesn't keep his browser very organized, so it was hard for me to figure out where he put everything when it was my turn to come in and finish the edit. So I created a template that had bins called "Graphics" "Animations" "Music" "Sound efx" "Sequences" etc.
    Helps keeps things orderly.
    Hope that helps

  • Issues opening AE CC project with CS6 despite the "save as CS6" option

    Hello all,
    I wish I wouldn't have to bother anyone with my noob question but I tried it all. I've been through the FAQ, the Search tool, lost myself on the Net for hours and... I can't find my problem resolved anywhere. It makes me feel sooOOo lonely.
    So, I know "After Effects CC (12.0) has a feature to save projects in a format that can be opened by After Effects CS6 (11.0)".
    BUT, as I used that precise feature (as well as the XML feature) and still have to face the impossibility to open my project file on CS6, I wondered if... anyone could help me to find an explanation at least. Or maybe even a solution.
    I know about the pt_OpenSesame script, but it seems to be less efficient than the feature "save as CS6" itself (as said by Adobe on several forums), and... it costs money
    Any idea why this "save as CS6" feature could possibly not work ? Any link to allow me to understand ?
    Could it be caused by the difference in OS updates ?
    Thanks a lot in advance !
    Config :
    From recent MBP with Lion 10.8.5 and CC (12.2)

    "The file you are trying to open has been created with AE v12.2 (Macintosh 64) and can not be open with your actual version of it" (sorry it's a translation from french, not sure it is totally accurate)

    Hello Todd,
    Thank you for taking time to answer me.
    I am trying to open a copy, not the original file. This copy is named after a new name, totally different from the name of the initial project.
    As I said it to Szalam, the original project is saved in a AE CC 12.2 version and the copy is (not) opened on a AE CS6 11.0.4...

  • How can open InDesign CC project with CS6 after trial has expired?

    Created a project with an InDesign CC trial. Trial expired, would like to continue working on it with my registered CS6 version of InDesign. Problem is that the project will not even open due to a lack of backwards compatibility. In theory I should be able to just open CC and save my project in a format compatible with CS6, problem is that since my trial has expired this is not possible. Completely stuck. Even tried to uninstall and re-install after hearing about a trial restart offered back in January, not working. Any ideas?

    That would be great, except for the fact that all of my project files are on one machine. So that would not solve my issue. Unless I am unaware of a way to move my entire project without the original files

  • Can't open motion 4 project with motion 5 !

    When I open a Motion 4 project with Motion 5 I get the followwing message : Le document « origine.motn » n’a pas pu être ouvert.
    meaning the document can't be open ! Any ideas ?

    There is something wrong with the file.  Normally Motion 5 can open Motion 4 project files.  Open in Motion 4, Save As, try again.

  • Can not use, or open, a recovered project with extension .rcproject

    I had been working in a project for a couple of weeks, I was putting together a bunch of clips from different road trips and re-unions that I had with some friends.
    One day I was removing video that I had marked as rejected. I selected the rejected video and tried to send it to the trash by selecting Move Rejected Clips to Trash from the File menu. When trying to send it to the trash my project was erased and iMovie froze right away. iMovie restarted but my project was not there anymore. I looked in the iMovie folder and there my project was, with a .rcproject extension. I made a copy of this right away. I tried to open this weird extension project by double clicking it, iMovie opens when I do this, but my project does not load.
    So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?

    So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?
    I would normally assume that all of your "resource" pointers were "orphaned" by the removing of the project file. While it is theoretically possible to restore the file to its former location and check to see the pointers are re-instated, I personally would not bother to try and manually correct them if the pointers themselves have been changed. The "forté" of iMovie '08 is your ability to quickly edit content and, generally speaking, I find it easier to re-edit the project material than to manually edit all of the individual project package files.

  • Cant open older Muse project

    I have an older Muse project I'm trying to open.  My original desktop site folder has all the pages and assets in it. 
    I went to open my index.html and it told me to update to the latest version of Muse. I did. Now when I open the updated application,
    and I search the site folder I can only see assets folders (images, css, etc) but non of the html pages. If I right click the html page and try to open the application that way Muse opens but just to a blank workspace. Wont load the project.
    Baffled
    Thanks in Advance
    Scott 

    Hello,
    I would suggest you to Search for the .Muse file in your machine.  Once you find that you will be able to open that in Muse.
    you can search for *.muse by going to Start >> Search Programs and file. This will show you the list of all muse files in your machine. If there is no such file then it can not be reproduced.

  • Cannot seem to open a new project with a height less than 100px

    Hi
    Surely there is not a minimum limit on the size of project I can work with in Captivate.  I'm trying to open a new project that is 968 x 30 px but it will not let me and defaults back to 100px height.
    Is there a way for me to achieve this or is this a flaw in Captivate?  I'd be suprised if theu have set a limit on minimum height!
    Cheers
    D

    Hi there
    Not sure if it's a "flaw", but it's been that way for as long as I can recall. Keep in mind that Captivate is really designed for capturing screens and creating things that are substantially larger than 100 px.
    If you disagree with this and feel it should change, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for a change. (Link is in my sig)
    Cheers... Rick
