Trouble opening project from Adobe Premiere Production Studio 2.0 in CS 5.5

Have almost finished editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 when computer died - have upgraded computer and software to cs 5.5 and told over phone by Adobe that will be able to open current file saved in 2.0 in CS 5.5. no problems....
BUT...it's not working! Comes up with an error message saying it needs to be converted first and opens but there is nothing in the timeline and is asking to locate all the individual files, only to tell me they can't be used....!
Anybody have any advice on this...?
Sorry for the long winded question!!
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
While Opening, or Importing older Projects into newer versions of PrPro is usually possible, there can be issues.
First, when you have Opened the PrPro 2.0 Project, and allowed it to be converted, you will be prompted to Save that as a new Project Name. That is what you want to do.
Next, when that converted Project Opens, twirl open the Bins, to find the Sequence, and Dbl-click that, to get it to display.
As for the location of the files, since you are now on a new computer, it is very likely that the Path to the Assets has changed, and probably due to the drive letter - those Paths are absolute, so much be exact in all cases. When asked "Where is file ____ ?" use the Finder to locate that, in its new location, and select it. PrPro will then look in that folder for all other necessary Assets, and will automatically link to them, as well. If the Assets are in separate folders/sub-folder, you will have to repeat that first step for each folder/sub-folder. Then, so long as the Paths to the Assets, or the Assets themselves, are not changed, all should be fine. At this point, I would do a Save_As, incrementing the Project's Name.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Need Help Import Project from Adobe Premiere CS6 TO FCPX

    Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to export a project from Adobe Premiere CS6 to FCPX.
    Many Thanks,
    Mat

    I am trying to transfer a movie project I made on my work computer (MacBook Pro, iMovie '08) to my home computer (iMovie HD, iBook). I've transferred the files using a Lacie, but when I open iMovie HD on my personal computer, it does not let me open the project I desire.
    As you have already found, iMovie '08 projects, as such, are not backwards compatible with previous versions of iMovie. iMovie '08's project basically consists of a list of instructions detailing how a project is to be exported while previous versions of iMovie actually rendered physical file segments ordered properly in a physical timeline reference file.
    I can import, but not the whole file, it keeps putting items in the trash. I have exported Mobile, Medium, and Large files.
    Basically you have two options. You can either import your raw footage (the Event clips) and "re-create" a project in iMovie HD or export your iMovie '08 project, complete with edits to an HD compatible format (e.g., DV or AIC/AIFF) and import this file into iMovie HD. Unfortunately, this latter approach will not allow you to "manipulate" your previous edits.
    Basically, I want to be able to open the file in iMovie, in case I wanted to duplicate it or edit it.
    As indicated above, you can import iMovie '08 shared/exported files to iMovie HD but you then have to edit them as source files. To remove a previous edit, you would literally have to delete it from your new project in order to add another.
    I also want to be able to continue burning copies of this movie slideshow to DVD (I created a DVD project using iDVD).
    Previously authored and burned DVDs can be copy-burned by applications like Toast or used to create stored "image" files that can be used to burn new DVDs on an as needed basis in the Mac OS "Burn" folder or using the Disk Utility application. In fact the "image" file can also be created for this purpose from within iDVD.

  • Opening projects from older Premiere versions in CS5.5 ?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to help my wife, who's using Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    She edited a movie in an old version of Premiere. We have all the files from the project, but no longer have access to the machine she edited on. We are about 95% sure that it was edited on Premiere Pro 2.0 for Windows. (It might have been on a slightly older Windows version).
    We've just installed Premiere Pro CS5.5 on her computer. We're having a number of problems importing the file. Some of them we're solving quickly, some of them a little less so. I wanted to check on the forum to check a couple of things:
    1) Just to be sure: Is Premiere Pro CS5.5 for Windows supposed to be able to work with projects from Premiere Pro 2.0? From older versions? Is there an easy way to figure out what version of Premiere the project file was created in?
    2) Is there any sort of FAQ or anything we might consult about issues that typically come up when importing from older versions of Premiere?
    We are sort of puzzling though this together. I'm usually the computer problem-solving guy around the house, but I don't know anything about Premiere...
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Yes, Premiere Pro CS5.5 can open projects created in any previous version of Premiere Pro (and version 6.x of Adobe Premiere).
    Great to know!
    If you bring specific issues to this forum as they arise, we may be able to help.
    Okay. We'll play around a bit on our own, and I'll see if we can summarize problems we can't figure out.
    I don't suppose there's any sort of FAQ about common problems in importing from old versions or anything?

  • Transferring a project from Adobe Premiere Elements 10 into FCP

    Hey everyone,
    I'm an FCP editor, and I have just come on board a project that has thus far been cut on Adobe Premiere Elements 10.  I want to export the EDL of the project and import it into FCP, but this Premiere programme is unusual because it doesn't have an "export" fuction.  It has "share". 
    I'm trying to figure out how to go about exporting the EDL and then tell the (not tech savvy) director this remotely so he can email it to me
    Does anyone know how to do it?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, PrE does not offer EDL, or OMF Export, as Premiere Pro does.
    Steve's suggestion to Export/Share the Timeline, for Import into FCP is the closest that one can get.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • HOW DO I DELETE RECENT PROJECTS FROM ADOBE PREMIERE PRO?

    How Do I delete recent projects from Premier Pro/

    PrPro does not have a "database" like say, Lightroom does. It does have a cache of files in a couple different places, but if you simply go to the location of the project file & delete it, and the cache files where there are placed ... you've deleted the "project".
    Some people have all cache files put in one spot just for this ... they can quickly go & delete jobs once delivered. Often after using the project manager to copy files to a drive for storage, then deleting the cache files for that project. Or there computers would blow up from the gigs of material video processing on a daily basis entails ...

  • Trouble opening projects from Captivate 2

    I've downloaded the Captivate 4 trial b/c I'm very interested
    in the ability to export to .AVI for use in videos I edit. I had be
    running Captivate 2 to record software demonstrations, so I went to
    open an older project and it said that the project had to be
    updated for 4 and I clicked ok...it goes through some iterations
    importing audio and optimizing images for Captivate 4 and then
    nothing happens. The hour glass makes it seem like the program is
    working but nothing ever opens. Can anyone help?

    Hi there
    If the conversion doesn't seem to be working perhaps you will
    have better luck trying the following.
    1. Perhaps try defining a blank project in 4, then see if you
    are able to import from 2.
    Or
    2. Perhaps try opening the project in 2, then define a blank
    project in 4. See if you are able to copy the slides from 2 and
    paste into 4.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Options for exporting a project in Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5

    When Exporting a project from Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5 I use the format of Windows Media file and Preset HDTV 1080P 30 HighQuality. At the bottom of the window there are some options that say "Use Maximum Render Quality" And "Use Frame Blending". I used these two options on my first video I exported but I want to know for the future what both of these options do exactly to my film and if they could adversely effect things like lighting and the frame rate of a clip or anything?

    Max Render Quality does what is says: gives better picture quality, but will lengthen the export process.
    Frame Blending you check when output framerate differs from timeline framerate.

  • EASY WAY TO EXPORT PROJECT FOR ADOBE PREMIERE C4

    Does anyone have another solution to export your video project from Adobe Premiere C4 other than going through Adobe Media Encoder and DVD.
    We're looking for something as Simple as it was for Premiere Pro 2, export movie, AVI, then you had a quick and easy way to use the file in
    many ways.  It seems encore and Media Encoder has too many issues and take too long.

  • Are 'Archived' projects in ver. 12 openable in ver. 13? ie. from Adobe Premiere bundled as Elements and Premiere.

    Subject: Are 'Archived' projects in ver. 12 openable in ver. 13? ie. from Adobe Premiere as bundled in  Elements and Premiere, their mid-level product.
    Can version 13 open up a version 12 archived project?
    How about vice versa? Have to be in a couple cities and have different version installations in different locations.
    Any insight? Support's closed and I'm heading out of town today, will need to use the 'other' version.
    Thank you.

    The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

  • Converting AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.

    I have found the way to convert AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.
    I use the following line of code:
    app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Adobe Premiere Pro Project ..."));
    It works. But unfortunately it opens the SaveFileDialog window for the file name to be assigned.
    I'd love not to see this window. I'd love to assign the file name programmatically. It would be great!
    Is there any way to prevent the dialog window from opening?
    Thank you.

    Depends if you are on the cloud or not or the new 12.0 version.  One way to do it is to import your AE footage into PP as pending on your puter....
    Important to tell your version and OS when posting. What seems clear at your end is being asked from someone who has not seen your challenge.

  • Upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to the latest version

    I purchased few years ago Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and enjoying it since.
    Recently I purchased a new camcorder outputing MP4 and AVCHD video formats which cannot be read by Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
    What are my options?
    Is there a path to upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to a version which can read MP4 and AVCHD video formats?
    Philippe

    There are two solutions for you and neither of them offer any discount for already having version 1.5 since it was released over 10 years ago.
    You can atill purchase Premiere Pro CS6 (which will never, ever, be upgraded) and have it for a one time price, or, you can simply subscribe to the Creative Clould and get the latest and greatest Premiere Pro CC.
    To sign up for one product is $19.99 per month, and to sign up for all of them is $49.99 per month. That is just about every Adobe program from Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, all the way through to Acrobat Pro.

  • How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

    Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
    from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
    after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
    them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
    install RH v6.
    BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
    install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
    Safe which we have been using in our company.
    Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
    not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
    higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
    7.
    Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
    find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
    RoboHelp 6.
    RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
    where I have installed RH V6.
    Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
    only to give you a clear picture.
    Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
    correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
    Thanks

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
    the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
    and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
    This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
    Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
    I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
    located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
    problem. Everything looks alright.
    Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
    if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
    create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
    tool before this is the first time I will be using.
    I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
    information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
    Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
    and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
    opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
    VSS.
    In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
    message that in order to open this project the following files need
    to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
    that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
    writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
    opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
    any idea what’s happening?
    Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
    other recommendation?
    Your help is always appreciated
