2.0 project in CS3

I know this question belongs over in the CS3 folder, but there's no way to post over there yet. Will we be able to bring projects created in 2.0 into CS3? I've searched for the answer in everything I can find to read about CS3 but couldn't find it.

Yes, Encore 2.0 projects can be opened in Encore CS3.

Downgrade Premiere Pro CS4 project to CS3 possible?

Is it possible to export a CS4 Premiere Pro project in such a way that it will open in CS3? Is there any neutral format such as InDesign's .inx format?

Tam,
I rather doubt that you can do a direct transfer of a CS4 Project to CS3. Your only course might be to Export your CS4 to DV-AVI and Import that file. It will have all of edits in place, so you will not have the individual Clips. You can use the Razor, to "create" individual Clips, but you will NOT have Handles on these. You could eliminate all Transitions and then extend each individual Clip to include Handles, but you'll then need to re-set all Ins-n-Outs.
Now, you might get lucky. Whiled doing some testing for another user, I Opened his CS3 Encore file in Encore2, without even thinking - dang if it didn't work to about 90%. I think it would have worked 100% had I had his Assets and exact folder structure, but that was not what we were testing.
You might just try Importing the .prproj file into CS3 and X-your fingers. As I started, I would NOT expect this to work, but who knows. If it does, even to a degree, please report back, as this is a common question with each new release.

Loading a CS4 project into CS3

My son has CS4 and I have Premiere CS3. How can I load one of his saved CS4 projects into CS3? There doesn't appear to be a "save as" feature in CS4, nor an export option.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in the middle of a big project and I don't want to upgrade midstream.

Thanks for the response, but it seems a little short-sighted on Adobe's part: even Microsoft allows you to save documents in previous versions so others can read them. Anything for an upgrade fee, I guess.

Has anyone been able to export to flash using a Blu-ray Project in CS3?

Has anyone been able to export to flash using a Blu-ray Project in CS3?
If so what files, settings and OS were you using?
Whenever I try to export to flash from a Blu-ray project the program always crashes.

How to open CS5 project in CS3

Hi All,
How can I open CS5 project in CS3?
Thanks
Shaul

In theory you can't.
Premiere is not downwards compatible.
Some have opened CS4 in CS3 or CS5 in CS4 with non or basis effects.
But you can always give it a try, make sure you have a backup

I am exporting my project from CS3 to Encore. The message tells me my video file exceeds the capacity of the disc. Any help? In fact I have adjusted the bitrate to 4478 MB and it let me pass, But when it goes to ENcore the message says the file exceeds 4.7 GB. I chacked up it is true the M2V files is over 5 GB. Why is it? Anyone can help? Thanks a lot!

>a " trick " question
Hmm... let's see here...
The Semi has taller tires, but the Ferrari has wider tires
The Semi has 18 gear speeds, the Ferrari has a 6 speed transmission
The Semi and the Ferrari both have a supercharger
The Semi runs Diesel, the Ferrari runs high octane gasoline
The Semi driver is about 6 feet above the roadway, the Ferrari driver about 6 inches
The Semi driver has a CB, the Ferrari has a stereo with 12 speakers
I think this deserves a bit more study...

Thanks

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]

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 to migrate projects from CS3 to CS4? (Version Cue)

First of all, I tried to follow the steps here by 'Markus_Jasker' http://forums.adobe.com/thread/313661?tstart=30.
We are primarily a windows shop, with a small group of Mac artists. We have an Xserve with Version Cue 3.
All the artists use CS3. One of the artists upgraded to CS4. The user primarily cares about his InDesign files.
We were unsure whether the CS3 people could see the Version Cue 4 server on the Xserve, so we grabbed an extra
G5 lying around (Mac OS X Version 10.4.11) and installed Version Cue 4 on it.
Even though I turned off both VC Servers, and copied the 'com.adobe.versioncue.migration_3.1.2' folder from Version Cue 4
to Version Cue 3 and restarted both servers, I still get the message "unable to connect to Version Cue CS3 Server etc etc."
The Xserve is on 10.5.1.x and the G5 is 10.5.2.x with a 255.255.252.0 mask.
I am primarily a windows admin, so I need some help!

Hi,
It has been a while since I have had access to sun one studio 5. If I remember correctly, it was based on Netbeans 3.5.1. It turns out the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 release was based on Netbeans 3.6. Both of these Netbeans versions used mounted filesystems rather than the new project system. There is a migration guide from JSE 7 to JSE 8 available:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/reference/techart/jse8/intro_migration_jse8.html
I think this migration guide will apply to your situation as well.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

HDV project in CS3 refuses to make preview

Producing a set of 4 x 75 secs modules. Each require a lot of clever stuff so AFX CS3 is required. The difference is I'm working in 1080 25i HDV instead of SD.
Imported off line edit from Prem Pro CS3 as usual and all seems fine (apart from the inordinate amout of time it takes to load up). It's when I go to do a short preview test that it all comes to a halt. On one occassion it offered a window saying something about Adobe: Dynamic Link...something or other. I forgot to make a note and that notice hasn't appeared since.
While it isn't rendering a preview, the whole thing freezes up, but after 10 minutes it unfreezes and I can work again, but not make previews.
I tried making a Movie of the same preview work area to see what happens and all is fine.
Interestingly, because of this problem I started another HDV sub-project to just make a few of the Fast Mo backgrounds. The preview worked fine with this. Might it be because I have so much footage loaded up as part of the main project?
I have 4gig RAM, Quad processors, but the project is on an out-board HDD.
Any thoughts?
Mark

A combination of circumstances, most likely. MPEG-derivatives get indexed/ conformed for use in Adobe programs, so the following things can happen:
a) The MediaCache directories get full over time. Therefore
b) Looking up the proper conform fiel for a clip may take very long. Plus
c) If you did not change it, the conforms will be inside a sub-folder of your My Files folder, which as a system folder is already very busy.
Those 3 alone could already be enough. In addition, importing from Premiere would also include any conforms created there, which is the whole intention of the system, of course, but in your case may pose a disadvantage. There could be "tainted" parts from no longer valid clips and rendered snippets. So to cut a long story short: flushing the MediaCache and haven AE re-scan everything may solve the issue. I will not rule out, though, that the sheer number of clips could expose some sort of memory leak, so working with reduced project may of course be the only way out then...

Copying a video project from CS3 on the PC to CS3 on a Mac

I am collaborating on a project with a colleague.
He has Premiere Pro CS3 on his PC and we want to put the raw Premiere file he has worked on on an external hard drive and open it on the same version (Premiere Pro CS3) on my Mac so I can do some edits to it as well. Is this possible? How do we reconcile the .avi and .mov issue? How best to copy the files so PP can find them (or ask me to locate them)? We could use an answer as soon as possible. Thank you!!

In general terms, it should not be an issue. I work on Mac Projects all of the time on my PC.
Now, two things to think of:
1.) unless this has changed, the Mac will only see a FAT-32 formatted HDD, not an NTSF. This limits you on file size to ~ 4.GB. With a program like Mac Drive (might not even be needed with most newer PC's), the PC can handle a Mac formatted external.
2.) I have no issue using .MOV's with the Animation CODEC on my PC. I'd probably convert all AVI's to that, to work on the Mac (boy, I hate typing that blasphemy, but I'll get over it). If I understand correctly, CS4.1 with the latest QT (Pro?), will now handle the ProRez Apple COCEC's. There is a recent thread that makes mention of this.
After you do the setup, you should be good to go. Now, I have only gone one way - Mac to PC, so I could well be missing something.
Good luck,
Hunt

Moving a big PP CS4 project to CS3 ...how to ...?

I cannot keep working on my project with PP CS4 I keep having very ennoying problems : un-openable projects. like once a week or so, a project and all the auto saved version of it - become unopenable... the progress bar stalls...
I thought I solved my problems when I upgraded to vista ultimate 64 and did a very simple setup (CS4 and a few animation softwares... not much more...).
I spent too much money and way too much time and haven't understand WHY some of my project won't open (it olny happens 5% to 10 time
I lost A LOT of time trying all sorts of things, all the operating systems (XP home, XP pro, XP 64, VISTA64 and WINDOWS 7 build 7600) ....
I have a DELL precision 690 workstation 2 dual core/3ghz - 8 gig ram - a quadro 3450 video card ... almost nothing installed but the production premium CS4 suite ...
We still will be working for at least 3 months on this project...
I'm fed up with all the lost time and I have ABSOLUTELY no clue why we have problems, despite all the troubleshooting and tiem spent on the forums...
So I lost faith in PREMIERE CS4.
I tried hard enough. I need a faithfull editing software.
I have to decide between CS3 or FINAL CUT.
We are working on a half hour animated film.
Our latest PP timeline includes close to 2000 medias (still/QT and audio files).
Has anyone done this operation ? ... going from PP CS4 to CS3 ?
I am ready to spend a full day to do copy/paste - export timelines one by one ....
I am not ready to redo the whole editing, as it may take a long while to place all the media
at the right place.
Any clue or trick or plug in or whatever that could help us do this move would be greatly appreciated!
also I know I am on an ADOBE forum, but I am also interested in the pros and cons of cs3 vs FCP...
I would prefer using CS3 as we use photoshp and AE a lot in this project and like to stay in the ADOBE world... but if there's an easy way to go from PP CS4 to FCP we may consider it...
... another small hope is the 4.2 upgrade...?
thanks for any help!!

I'm pretty sure after you point it to the correct folder it will find all the media in that folder.
so Far I was unable to export AAF.
First attempt was with the whole project (I have 35 sequences/timelines within the same prject - project is 41 meg big)
around 1850 medias.
I did the export yesterday evening - after supper, it was still exporting .. thougt I let it overnight .. and this morning it looked like it was still calculating.. I hit CANCEL... and then PREMIERE crashed...
... I re opened my last working project. I removed 80 % of the media - my plan being to import in CS3 my main project in pieces ...
I tried to export in AAF but it crashed when the progress bar reached the right side....got an error message... forgot .. something common - couldn't save ... or ERROR ... a message with no information...
I tried with a new projetc - 15 quicktime that I imported in a new pp project - It worked...
So it is really my project...

I will have another day of work lost...
funny I begin to get used to that ...
I completely gave up on PREMIERE CS4 . I really feel betrayed...
... for you rinformation my machine is really healthy and working very well - I have almost nothing installed...
any help is greatly apreciated...
I want to understand...
if there's something to understand... maybe it'just PREMIERE CS4 that does not work how it should ?

Arabic project in CS3 with AS3

dear friends,
i need to create an arabic project in flash CS3 with AS3 coading. i am using normal version of flash. i need your advice,
1) do i need middle east version to type and get arabic text?
2) if i can use the same software and show the arabic text or enter the arabic text in run time what should i do? pls advice me.
tell me how can i manage with the existing software and do the arabic project. i typed arabic text in this CS3, al the text is coming as broken, output also broken. pls help me..
Thanks in Advance,
Syed Abdul Rahim

Hi Syed,
You need to install Adobe Illustrator ME (Middle East Version), otherwise the arabic text will appear as detached letters.
Adding arabic fonts will not do the trick by itself.
As far as i know, there is no other way, and i am not sure if there is Flash ME.
And in case you cannot get this version you could always try typing it in MS Word and tracing it in Illustrator or Flash.
Regards,
Marc
