Cross platform CS on PC to CS3 on Mac does not work like video says

Your video on cross platform workflow states that you can import older Premier CS files on a PC into CS3 on a Mac. I tried this and get the message, "this project was saved in a aversion prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options." I guess I have to assume then that the video, www.adobe.com/go/vid0236, is wrong about this? Can someone please explain how I can salvage the work I did 3 years ago on Premiere Pro 1 on a PC when I am now exclusively working on the Mac in CS3?
Thank you.

Ty,
This has come up a few times and the solution is to find a PC CS3 user, who will Open the Project and then Save it in CS3-CS4 for you. I does mean that you'll have to befriend a PC-person, but who knows, maybe you can reciprocate later on. In each previous instance, this workflow, PC to PC to Mac worked perfectly. Note: the same holds for Encore Projects, and there is some PC to PC incompatibilities between very early versions and later versions. I had to Open and Save an Enocre 1.0 Project in CS2, so a CS4 (only) user could then Open in CS4. This stuff happens, and the skip in Mac porting can play a role in it. If I had CS3 on my PC's, I'd do it for you, but CS2 will not hlep you.
I believe that P 6.5 was the last previous version ported for the Mac, until CS3.
Good luck,
Hunt

InDesign CS3 - Detect Edges does not work with transparency

I have three machines running at home. One is a PowerMac G5 running OS X Tiger and Adobe CS3 Master Collection. The other two are new Intel iMacs running OS X Leopard, also with the CS3 Master Collection.
My problem is this: On the PowerMac G5, I can create an image in Photoshop that has a transparent background with a cut out object. When I place this object on a page in InDesign, I can use the Detect Edges feature in the Text Wrap panel to automatically detect the edges of my object with its transparent background.
However, when I do this same procedure on the new iMac, InDesign fails to detect the edges of the object. This does not seem to be dependent on whether the image was created on the iMac or the PowerMac.
What I have discovered, is that the Detect Edges feature works on the iMac if the image has a solid white background, whether on the same layer as the object (i.e. 1 layer) or as a separate layer behind the object.
So, if anyone out there, or particularly one of the developers over at Adobe, could check on this issue and find out if my case is an anomaly or a real bug, that would be terrific.
Thanks!

F,
No need to need to get into a tif. I was merely pointing out that your response wasn't directed to the OPs request.
Jared isn't asking how things work, he's asking if they work the same for other users as they do for him with the little complication that they work for him in two different ways.
>So, if anyone out there, could check on this issue and find out if my case is an anomaly or a real bug, that would be terrific.
Jared,
I can't talk for Tiger. I have an iMac running 10.5 and detect edges does not work for me with transparency. But there is a difference in the text wrap options between a transparent background and a white one. When an image with a white background is selected, the Alpha channel is greyed out. With a transparent background the Alpha channel becomes available, and when selected another field is generated. [Alpha: Transparency]
Are those options not available on your G5?

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

Photoshop CS3 Brush Smoothing does not work

Hi,
I need help with the brush tool in Photoshop CS3. All the brushes appear to be pixelated, and I'm unable to draw any smooth lines at all. Whatever I draw comes out edgy and rough.
On the other hand, the eraser tool still produces smooth lines. I tried fiddling with brush preferences, but nothing I do helps: I just can't draw smooth lines with the brush tool, although the smoothing option is turned on.
I'd really appreciate your help, since it's been a couple of days since I was able to draw.

Maybe this will help; I couldn't tell for sure from your description.
Go to Brushes > Brush Tip Shape, and at the bottom of that box slide the slider for Spacing to 0.

Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.

I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

Cross-reference does not work inside the object states

Hi All,
I use InDesign CS5.5. I have four pages document. first three page has full for text and the fourth page has multi-state object. I am trying to insert the cross reference from the third page to the multi-state object (fourth multi-state object). when I export to SWF and click the cross-reference it does not got to the fourth state, but it goes to only on the first state. can any one help me how to add the cross-reference?
I have tried on the other way. i have inserted the text anchor on the fourth multi-state object and tried to add cross-reference, still it does not work.
am i doing something wrong or InDesign does not have this feature.
please help.
thanks.
Regards
Ramji V K

@Ramji V K – Do we have a "terminology problem" here?
Do you really mean a "Cross-Reference" or do you try to control the MultiStateObject (MSO) by a "Button" that does not work propperly?
I did not do anything with the "Cross-Reference" feature yet, so I might be on the wrong trail…

Cross Dissolve transition does not work after cutting the tails of both ends.

I used to apply the Cross Dissolve video transition a while ago and never had any problems. My Cross Dissolve is not working for whatever reason. I usually split parts of the movie using the razor tool and cut the tail of both parts I just split, than apply the Cross Dissolve, but it does not work at all. I dont know if I am doing something wrong here, I need your help if you can help me with that. I have also tried to apply Film Dissolve but I have the same problem.
Thank you very much!!

I am trying to put together a recruiting video. I was out recording a bunch of people talking about the organization, when I am working with something like this I usually try to shorten the 3 or 5 minute clip I have from one person and just connect the parts of the clip that need to be on the screen, that requires several cuts during the clip and merge the good parts together using the cross dissolve. It is very simple and I have done several times, but for whatever reason during certain parts of the clip when applied will not work. The clips are usually 1 to 3 minutes long and I need to extract the good parts making no more than 1 minute for each peson talking.
Thanks!

Adobe After Effects CS3 does not work on my new iMac

Hello everyone,
I recently bought myself a new iMac and Adobe After Effects CS3, and guess what, the stuff does not work. I've tried almost everything, been on a lot of forums but can't seem to find any solution. One thing that keeps coming back is that it has to do with the Geforce 8800 GT in my iMac, some kind of compatibility problem between both.
The problem is this, whenever I start AE CS3, a window pops up, stating "Out of Memory ( 23 :: 40 )".
And then something about licensing, but I guess I can skip that window, since that clearly has nothing to do with the problem.
Are there some beta drivers or something for my videocard that I can download somewhere to maybe get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim

The trial is always extended. The serial number you enter determines whether it runs as standard or extended.
I'm getting through fine with that link, so it must be a browser issue or some such thing. Try another browser.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
Anyone having this issue?

I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

Blank registration screen on CS3... do not get error window saying "Never Register"

I cannot remedy the CS3 blank-screen problem on my Mac (Safari OS) with the suggested fix, as I don't get an error window saying "Never Register" after disconnecting internet and re-launching CS3. Any other ideas?

Hi Curt, I get the normal CS3 desktop (although nothing works) and the blank registration screen. I do not get an error message or any other prompt telling me I can select "Never Register," even after disconnecting from the internet and relaunching CS3. The only way I can get out of the "freeze" is to "Force Quit: CS3. In other words, the suggested fix is not working for me. Thanks Curt.

Gaussian Blur does not work on Photoshop CS3

Hello,
the last few days the gaussian blur plugin does not work in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Can you tell me what can i do to solve this problem??

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)
