Can Premiere CS3 import project from Premiere 6.5

I see elsewhere that Premiere Elements cannot import project file from Premiere 6.5 and wondered if CS£ would. It would get me out of a hole if it could.

Sorry that I missed this thread first time around, and only just now noticed it. In Nick's (the OP) case, I think that Colin helped him with his problem.
As Nick, the OP, found PrElements will NOT Open a PrPro Project. As PE does not allow Import of a Project into another Project, that avenue is out. If one attempts to Open a PrPro Project in PE, they'll get an error message, along the lines of "Fool, this is a PrPro Project. You cannot Open it in PE. You must get PrPro. Fool." OK, maybe not that harsh, but close. Now, with some exceptions, PrPro WILL Open PE Projects. The biggest exceptions will be if Themes or Instant Movie were used. These do fritz up the works quite a bit. Still, a straight PE Project (PREL) will Open in PrPro fine, so long as the general versions of each program are close, or the PrPro version is newer.
As Colin points out, the only problem with going from an older version of a Project to a newer version of a Project is that "hole" that exists, because Pr was not ported for the Mac. This was from PrPro 1.0 (called 7.0 in some circles), PrPro 1.5 and PrPro 2.0. During that time, all Pr Projects were PC-only. Mac's, regardless of whether they are running CS3 (first version to be dual-platform, since Pr 6.5) or CS4. No Open, no Import.
The "trick" is to find a PC-user, who has at least CS3, or CS4, and have them Open the PrPro 1.0 through 2.0 Project. Once "converted" and Saved, then the Mac-user can Open it, provided that they have the same version of PrPro, or a later one. If the Mac-user has CS3, and the PC-user has CS4, this Open/Save will not work. If the PC-user has CS3 and the Mac-user CS4, it will work. This situation often shows Mac-users that PC-users are not such bad people after all, and that they'll usually put platform differences behind to help a fellow PrPro-user.
Above, I've outlined the steps and have also added some warnings, such as 3rd party hardware (like Matrox), Effects and Transitions. Heed those warnings carefully.
This will not help Nick now, but might help someone in the future. Remember, if you're on a Mac, and the Project was created in that time from PrPro 1.0 - 2.0, you WILL need a PC-friend to help you, and you will need to insure that your version of PrPro is at least equal to, or newer than, the PC-user's.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • I have Iphoto library in Aperture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging?

    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.  I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two.  I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.

    Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
    Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
    Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
    Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture?  And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library"  in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
    Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.
    Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the aperture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.
    You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted.  (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
      I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
    There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
    You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
    File > New > Smart album:
    Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
    For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
    To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

    As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem.  I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple.  Help, if possible, please.

    As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?

    Pretty much what the quetions states - "How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?"
    I've imported a load of pics from my Nikon D40 to my iPad 3 (ios 6.1) using the iPad camera connector. 
    So far so good.
    However I cannot sync the pictures to my laptop (win 7).  I would like to be able to keep the albums I have created, and get them to the laptop too.
    If a restore was required I might lose thee pics.
    Any advice or apps recommended to help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve Potter

    To copy photos to your computer that were copied to it via the camera connection kit (or taken with it or saved from emails/websites) then see this page (as far as I know you can't copy their albums) - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard

  • WebDynpro Problem - Importing Project from tutorials

    I am trying to gothru the tutorial Accessing ABAP Functions in Web Dynpro (4).
    I have downloaded and unzipped the zip file 4TutWD_FlightList.zip
    When I try and Import a project,
    It finds the Project TutWD_FlightList_init, I am able to select the project, but then I recieve a error
    "Errors importing Projects
      Error message: Invalid project description.
    I have tried other project tutorials off SDN and get the same error.

    Luciano,
    I have tried the File>Import>Import Project from File System>
    I am able to get the project created but none of the other structure is being built. The application,controller, views and window are all missing. I have tried to  rebuild the project and I have tried to repair the project. No errors but no project structure either. I was a little confused by your suggestion to extract and then extract again. I have no files in the   TutWD_FlightList_init.zip  to extract again.
    Also in the directory structure I have the files for the project such as...
    project --> ProjectProperties.wdproperties
    application --> FlightListApp.wdapplication
    resultview-->  ResultView.wdview , ResultView.wdview.xlf
    controllers --> SearchView.wdcontroller
    Any other suggestion would be appreciated,
    Thanks,

  • How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

    How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

    I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
    Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • Can you restore a project from a single file

    Using Windows XP / RH8 & RH7 / RSC 3.1
    Is there a single file that lets you restore a project?   My co-worker believes this is the case, but I can find nothing in the RH Help, or on this forum using a search term of "restore project", "restore from file", "file types" etc.
    I can't find the Help page that has the explanation of each file type, which used to be easy to find.
    What we are looking for is an equivalent to the FHB file in ForeHelp.  You can restore the complete project from that one file.
    I have tried a dozen searches on the forum and get no reponses for anything.  Is search even working?
    Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Joe

    There is no single file that restores the source project. You can reverse engineer a CHM and get close but I don't think that is what you are looking for.
    The only single file method is a zip of your project!

  • Can I save a project from idvd as a .mov?or anything other than an idvdproj

    Can I save a project from idvd as a .mov?or anything other than an idvdproject?

    It's possible, but a fair amount of work to start from iDVD. Far easier is to export your project from iMovie (Share/Export) to the format desired by the web site (mp4, Flash, ??).
    In either case, it will not be an interactive experience (in other words, you can have a video showing your video being selected, but the web user won't be clicking the menu button).
    If you want a short intro (pictures and song), why not add that to the beginning of your iMovie project, so it all looks seamless?

  • Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Yeah, I have this problem too.  Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
    Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad.  Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad.  I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
    But that's a terrible workaround.  I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.

  • 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.
