CS3 issues fixed in CS4?

Have the following issues in CS3 been fixed in CS4:
(Note: a few of these I've found already in the forum, but I am including an all comprehensive list anyway).
1. Self resizing title pane.
2. Still tiff image import incorrectly interpreted as an image sequence.
3. Crash when exporting timeline directly to encore for disc burning.
4. Audible clicks at audio edit points in final render.
5. Missing shortcut menu items.
6. Crash on rendering directly to cineform HD file (vs. AVI with cineform as compressor).
7. Crash on rendering tiff images when more than one layer of images overlaps, (work around is to render images as video clips and replace - a pain).
In the past three years I've upgraded three times and I'm getting tired of drinking the cool-aide.

I agree that moving AME to standalone was a good decision. But I've been cntl-shift-Ming frames for years. Handing that chore off to a separate application is like swatting flies with a canon.
How does CS4 handle single tiff images? I render animations as image sequences and edit in CS3. It's no issue if I import those sequences as image sequences (selecting the image sequence checkbox). However, CS3 treats single image files from sequences as single frame video clips. I have to copy the image to a separate folder and re-import.
The bigger issue is that I'm fed up with three complete upgrades and have not had any significant improvement. I recall having better results and smoother workflows with CS 1.3.1.
I'm only two projects left open on CS3, then I have to make a serious decision and maybe demo that Studio 2 package my local mac vendor has been bugging me to do.

I got the same type of error from attempting an audio only export. I just upgraded from CS3. This project was crated in CS3, then converted to CS4. No other issues with the upgrades. My only guess is that converting the session from a CS3 to CS4 is the causing this. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for those details. I just noticed that all the avi and wavs are still located in the CS3 folder from the previous installation. Could that be the hitch?
This project was created in CS3, then converted 2 days ago into a CS4 project. There was some wierdness on a few things after conversion, but nothing out of the ordinary and CS4 is running like a champ on my system until I attempted to do this bounce. I am new to Premiere, so I may be missing something as simple as updating filepaths, etc.?
Yes, MP3 is terrible. I have the v.o. in wav. Honestly, I didnt notice the music track was in MP3 until gathering project specs for this. I was planning on replacing that for the final export. Im using a 3rd party sidechain VST for the ducking in PPro.....Sidekick 4.1: http://www.twistedlemon.nl/site/
It requires tht you run two instances of the plugin on seperate stereo tracks (still need to deal with the vo track having to be in stereo for now).
Thanks for your help.

Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro.

Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro.
CS3 worked just fine but had many issues with Bridge CS3. So frustrating that the $$ to upgrade to CS4 seem worth it. Mostly works OK with the following exceptions:
1. Sometimes the file menu selections are non-selectable grey including fundamental functions like Open and Exit not even clicking on the x will allow PS to close! I found a workaround, I can select a tool that is not currently selected (like the crop or brush) and now the menu items appear.
2. The Arrange Documents drop down menu is blank except for the lower text portion. All icons are missing. Roll over text popup shows what is supposed to be on the menu but no icons.
3. I have setup Bridge CS4 to auto start at logon. Works OK but sometimes for whatever reason stays busy after I close. Task Manager shows Bridge using up to 25% of CPU time and the program is not even open!
5. I purchased a couple Canon EOS 50Ds as backup cameras for our business. Worked last week with CS3 and Bridge with Raw 4.6 upgrade. Does not work with RAW 5.0 in CS4bummer!

I had the same problem with blank/missing "Arrange Documents" icons. And I use NIK and OnOne plugins (CS4 & Vista). These plugins are all supposed to be compatible with CS4 and I use them ALOT - so I refused to remove them. Today I also started having a problem with an error re: needing to install a printer before I could select print functions.
I found the answer to both problems!! While researching the error message I found information from Adobe support stating that you should:
1. Quit Photoshop
2. Vista: Rename the Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file to Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old
Windows XP path: Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp
3. Start Photoshop - it will create a new preferences file.
My print error message is gone AND I have Arrange Documents icons!!!

Issues fixed in FM 7.1 release

Adobe FrameMaker 7.1 for English, French and German was released on January 10, 2004. The following is a list of issues fixed in this release.
250374
FDK: FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue notification not sent for new elements. If a client subscribes to FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue events, it will get a notification when one changes an attribute by double clicking it in the Structure view. However, on creation of a new element through the element catalog, if an attribute is set, no notification is sent.
This issue has been resolved.
277554
FDK: F_ApiUnStraddleCells() does not work as expected.
When unstraddling cells through the API, all the cells except the leading cell have no paragraph end marks (they are completely empty). Clicking into such cells takes the text cursor to the location of the table anchor. Inserting a character into the paragraph with the table anchor seems to correct the table.
This issue has been resolved.
310049
FDK: F_ApiImport shows a dialog upon import of SGML entities.
When importing an SGML fragment by reference using F_ApiImport, FrameMaker displays a dialog asking whether the text inset should be updated automatic or manually. This setting should be controlled from import-parameters.
Currently there is no way of creating a client that imports a large number of SGML text-insets without having a user sitting by the keyboard and clicking OK for each imported entity.
This issue has been resolved.
314764
FDK: F_ApiDelete does not work properly on elements inside a TextInset. When you try to delete an element that is part of a TextInset, the whole TextInset is removed.
The work around for this is to unlock the text before calling F_ApiDelete and to lock the text after this call. The calls to unlock and lock the text are given below:
To unlock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, False);
To lock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, True);

(don't include) Marker element gets included and merged in PDF bookmarks with previous heading. In FrameMaker 6.0, the document prints to PDF as expected--the bookmarks in Acrobat PDF contain the Section2/Heading as expected, such as:

FrameMaker works very slowly or returns an internal error. When processing a document that includes many EPS image files, FrameMaker creates many FRMxxxx.tmp files in the C:\Documents and Settings\Account Name\Local Settings\temp\ folder. The xxxx is a hexadecimal number. Even after quitting FrameMaker, the FRMxxxx.tmp files are NOT deleted, and the same document creates different FRMxxxx.tmp files after being opened again. The template files pile up in the hard disk for the Account/user, until the xxxx reaches ffff, the maximum number for the 4 digits of a hexadecimal number. At or near this time, FrameMaker works very slowly or stops with internal error:7004,6643018,6765315,6712018.

The text in the markers gets included in the PDF Bookmarks. Do not include textual content of marker elements, such as Index markers. This is because if you do, the Acrobat bookmarks can appear created if the element has:

footnote element mapping to Frame Footnote is commented in Rules defined for XDocBook. In application definition of XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app, footnote element mapping is to FM Footnote element. However, this rule is commented since past few releases. As a result, any (xdocbook) XML document with footnote is shown as invalid in FrameMaker.

Revision remark (revremark) element is mapped to different element names in EDD and rules. Rules for XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app translate revremark to RevRemark.

These links gives you an idea of what all changes are going to come into your new system. So unless you upgrade to SP07 i.e. the latest version and test it in DEV/Sandbox environment you should not plan to move ahead in Production. This is always recommended but there is very less chance that the already working solution will not work as expected after the upgrade.

Top 15 Issues/Fixes Needed in the next Premiere Pro release/update (CS6.5 or CS7)

I’m excited for what’s coming next in Premiere Pro CS6.5 or CS7 (whichever update is next). As a former FCP7 user myself, Premiere CS6 was a quick and necessary switch (especially after changing the main keyboard shortcuts back to what I was used to). I’ve since gone back to FCP7 on occasion for certain things and I can tell you that I’m so glad I’ve switched. For all the headaches and serious errors that I still get daily/weekly with Premiere Pro CS6, it’s still definitely a big step up. I'm encouraged by staff members like Mitch W. that have expressed confidence that many of these issues will be resolved in the next release. Here is my personal list of “Top 15 issues/fixes” needed in the current Premiere Pro CS6…
(Adobe STAFF...feel free to print this out and hand it to the engineers responsible for making changes )
1) The infamous multicam FLAW. Needing no introduction…when you are editing your video in the multicam window and you hit pause or stop Premiere has decided that’s a great time to make a cut on your timeline and also switch angles back to the original angle whether you like it or not. You cannot stop ever while editing multicam without Premiere making these unwanted cuts and angle changes. Awful. Multicam in PPro is otherwise pretty nice, but this issue is terribly counter-productive especially when you are editing longer complex multicam sequences. Imagine if every time you hit pause or stop in the regular timeline it made a cut there and switched clips. Ugh. You get my point.
2) The audio meters/levels do not work while in the multicam window. A staff member in the forums (I think it was you) said this was a bug. Hope it will get fixed. The audio levels work in every other window and its essential to be able to keep an eye on the levels while editing multicam.
3) Ticktime.cpp-207 error. Ugh. What a nightmare. I have confidence that it will be fixed soon. Mitch W. from the forums is my new hero for taking on this error. How to replicate it?…simply have 6 (or 7) or more clips with the warp stabilizer effect added on the same timeline as a nested multicam clip and you get this error upon reopening your project. The more warp stabilizers you use, the more times you’ll have to hit “continue” to get through the error before you can open your project or export it to AME. I deal with this every single day because all my projects use these two elements. Most of my projects I have to hit “continue” on the error message upwards of 350-450 times to open my projects. Gets old fast.
4) Icon View order control. When you display all your clips in icon view instead of a list view (In the project window), there is no metadata to allow you to put the clips in order somehow (or at least maintain the order that you have in the list). There are roundabout workarounds, but c’mon.
5) Warp Stabilizer fixes…it is an AMAZING tool (far, far, far better than smoothcam in FCP7) BUT…it has it’s issues. Since I use hundreds of times/week (no exaggeration) I know it’s functions/flaws really well. The issues with Warp Stabilizer:
a) #3 above
b) Toggle OFF the effect after it’s applied and then hit Analyze again and PPro crashes. (easy to avoid but annoying bug)
c) If a clip is in the middle of stabilizing (not just analyzing…but the final step labeled “analyzing”) when Auto-save comes up…most of the time PPro freezes and crashes.
d) The DEFAULT “method” (in the settings for Warp Stabilizer) should NOT be “Subspace Warp”…it should be “Position, Scale, Rotation”. Why? It’s FAAAAARRRR better and more efficient. 95 out of 100 times it causes MUCH less “wobble” in the final stabilized clips AND most importantly 95 out of 100 times it scales the video less. Way better method.
6) The ability to open multiple projects simultaneously. As simple as FCP7 had it…or even better…as cool and efficient as FCPX does it would be nice.
7) The ability to mark a clip and not just a point on a timeline (because if you move the clip, the marker doesn’t go with it). I know you can use “Clip Marker” but it's very limiting, can't be moved, can't add notes, can't advance to the next marker (as far as I know). Also a marker list like FCPX has would be nice so you can see your markers all in a list at a glance and adjust them as needed.
8) Ability to select a clip in the Project window and find out where it’s used in the timeline. I LOVE how you can do the reverse and take a clip in the timeline and “Reveal in Project Window” but it would really help to go the other way around. Dealing with several hundred clips for every project I’ve missed this feature from time to time (FCPX handles this really well).
9) Add a through-edit indicator in timeline and “re-join clips” option. If you cut a clip but keep both clips together it’s just one continuous clip. But I really hope Premiere adds the not only an indicator of some sort (like FCP7′s way of having two small red triangles facing each other on that cut) so you know it’s one continuous clip BUT ALSO the ability to right-click and “re-join” the two clips into one.
10) When clip is double-clicked in timeline, CTI position in source viewer should match location in timeline. This one is pretty annoying and a fix would be incredibly helpful. The way it is now is very counter-productive. Definitely hope this gets fixed ASAP.
11) Better border controls for images/videos. Can’t do much with images right now in PPro. At least allow to customize the color and size/strength of it’s borders and shadows.
12) Better support for Mac/Apple's top end computers/GPU's. I'm still surprised that 2011 top of the line iMac cards (AMD 6970M) that have 2gb of ram are not supported. I’m sure/I hope 2012 iMac’s will be supported with their new Nvidia GPU’s…but I’ll hold out hope that the top iMac (up until 3 months ago) is supported at least at it’s full power. All around better Mac support would be great considering the wave of new users coming over from FCP.
13) Opacity/Transparency issues with EXPORTED videos with Cross Dissolves, etc. For some odd reason videos exported from Premiere CS6 have issues with cross dissolves or minor transparency. I’ll try to explain…in the program window of PPro CS6 cross dissolves look fine. Also, if you take a clip and stack it on top of another clip and put the top clip at say 99% opacity instead of 100 it looks like it should in PPro. But, if you export the clips you’ll quickly see that there are issues. It’s almost like the exported videos dissolve from 5 to 95. They skip the subtle beginning (0-5%) and subtle end (95-100%) of any fade. A clip in PPro as described above that is on top of another but set at 99% will look more like 90-95% in the exported file ESPECIALLY if the two clips are contrasting (eg. top layer dark, bottom layer with bright elements). It’s like the opposit of ease-in/ease-out. I have to ease-in/ease-out of every dissolve to avoid this issue…and even then, it’s not THAT much of an “ease” as one would hope. Another user in a forum once posted a video that shows how abruptly exported videos end their transparency changes…see: THIS SAMPLE VIDEO Perhaps this is a GPU/processing issue with AME vs. Premiere Pro but whatever it is, it should be fixed so videos you export look like the videos you edited!
14) Better control in Creative Cloud over which devices are “activated/deactivated” We have 3 computers and it would be nice if one could log in to their Creative Cloud account and see a list of which devices they have and just toggle on/off which one’s are activated/deactivated. This is especially helpful when you are mobile and forget to deactivate one of your two home/office devices so you’re stuck now until you get back to the home/office to deactivate it. This is not a Premiere thing, but just a general wish.
15) Ability to sync multicam clips automatically using the audio. Plural eyes apparently does this well. Would be nice to have it built into Premiere like FCPX does. Select all the shots you want to sync, One button click, wait a few seconds, done.
That’s my top 15. Everything else is awesome in my opinion for what I do 10 hours a day 6-7 days a week. I’ve included bug reports/feature requests for all of these at one point but if you are someone else reading this go to the following link and ask for these issues to be fixed: FEATURE REQUEST/BUG REPORT
I wish Adobe did smaller updates more often. Because even if they were smaller updates, we’d at least know you are working on fixing some of these issues that have plagued this NLE for years. Holding off fixes for one or two big “updates” every year is tough to deal with in a world of the ever updating apps we live and play with daily on our phones. I realize Premiere is a much larger scale and far more professional than a phone app, but hopefully you get my point. Here’s to hoping the next release (NAB 2013?) resolves all my top 15 issues. Here’s to hoping that these issues will be resolved sooner than later so I can stop raising hell in various forums. I’m honestly ready to start praising and defending Premiere Pro instead of griping about it’s bugs and flaws. It’s a fantastic program “on the way” to being the best. I hope.

Nice list, however it does seem a little bit like you may be hoping that Adobe provides the Final Cut 8 package that Apple never delivered on. Having edited primarily with P-Pro for the last decade, I hope Adobe focuses more on getting the next release to run as smooth as CS5x does, strangling and crucifying all the codec and playback bugs that arose in CS6. To me, it appeared that too many of the changes in CS6 were semantic or cosmetic, meant to give a FCP user more familiarity. Why change the name of an edit function from "overlay" to "overwrite" after 15 years? Because it enhances the product, or because that is what Apple called the function in FCP? If Adobe renames the Program Monitor to the "Canvas" with the next release, I think that I might be sick. There were nice additions to the Creative Suite as a whole, but I hope the next Premiere release reverses some missteps made in CS6, and focuses more on stability and enhanced functionality. I also really hope that they have an open ear towards criticism; Apple did not and their users ended up with FCP-X
It saddens me that the fixes I want most in a future release were purposeful changes between CS5x and CS6x.
1) Provide the options for transport controls in the source and program monitors. All of the users at my office hate that the jog and shuttle were removed in CS6. JKL was an option prior to CS6 and if we liked it we would have used it. I keep reading the justification that this change was meant to save space and streamline the UI. I can't express cordially how much this bothers me to look at the empty wasted space in my CS6 UI where the transport controls should be. The experiment has gone on long enough.
2) Restore the 3 Way Color Corrector to its previous functionality. The 3 way color corrector has been effectively neutered in CS6. Where in CS5x and earlier releases one could separately target the input/output levels of Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows, CS6 has only a master input/output level control. Why is less control better? Is it a 3-Way Color Corrector or a 1-Way Color Corrector?
3) Restore Clip and Timeline markers to their previous functionality. I don't even.... I can't. A user shouldn't have to do work arounds to create a modicum of functionality. This again was an attribute that wasn't broken in earlier releases.
4) Simplify the the task of pasting media into a targeted track. As it is now, pasted items will always go to the lowest activated track instead of the targeted track.
Lastly I would like the Adobe Premiere teams to consider what an amazing accomplishment Premiere CS5x was. Upon CS5's release, a good portion of competitor's workflows became obsolete. CS5.5 refined, stabilized, and expanded functionality.
CS6 changed the UI around, moving or deleting buttons, changed keyboard shortcuts, and renamed functions. Oh, and added hoverscrub, you know...like FCPX. In exchanged there was loss of functionality, stability issues and broken codecs.
I really hope the next release is more like CS5x and less like FCPX

Anyone have list of issues fixed in 8.01? thanx...

Hi all (happy holidays)
Anyone have list of issues fixed in 8.01?
thanx...
ps: I'm on a G5 and was hoping that 8.01 runs noticeably better now....

I'm one of the people that traditionally doesn't experience too many issues with Logic that affect me. However, 8.0.0 and 8.0.1 have many issues that directly affect me, including many MCU handling bugs, screenset handling bugs and quite a few others besides.
Maybe, like with Logic 7, we'll get to a paid update for 8.1 that finally becomes workable... until then, well, hang on to the sides, it may well get bumpy..!

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Missing "Contact Sheet II" fix for CS4

Somewhere I saw a missing "Contact Sheet II" fix for CS4. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
The PDF contact in CS4 is not flexable and is very limited. You can't see it in Bridge or make changes like you can to a jpg contact sheet.
Thanks Marv.

CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Design Premium

Hi All,
I'm having problems trying to install CS3 Web Standard and CS4 Design Premium.
I bought CS 3 Web Standard Upgrade Version and CS4 Design Premium Upgrade, to update my old CS2 Standard.
My question is:
Can I install CS4 Upgrade If I don't have CS3 Upgrade on my computer?
I have both serial numbers with CD's and everything.
I asked this question to the person I bought it from and he's email answer was:
"Heres a quick guide for the installation:
You don't have to install Web Standard in order to install CS4.
The installation starts with inserting the first CD of CS4 upgrade.
Installation process will begin and installer will prompt for password.
Enter the CS4 password. The installer will accept it and recognize that you have upgrade , and will ask the previous (CS3) serial number.
Enter the CS3 Web Standard serial number and installer will continue normally.
that's all"
Does that makes sense to you?
I haven't open the CS4 box yet, since I want to make sure is going to work.
Thanks for your answers.
regards,
Alex

I don't think you can use the same package to upgrade both programs. Once, you have upgraded the package of CS 3, you no longer have the rights to it. But you may be able to use CS 4 Web to purchase CS 4 Design (but I don't know call customer service). It might be cheaper to purchase the Master Collection upgrade again call Customer Service, they always want to help someone that wants to buy an Adobe product

CS3 or wait for CS4?

Hi,
I've read bits and pieces of news for CS4 like 64 bit
support, new code or something and was just wondering if CS3 wont
upgrade to CS4?
I'm not the expert but I'm sure thats not the case. But I
don't want to upgrade to CS3 if a CS4 update wont be available. I
thought I read somewhere that the new code wont be compatible with
the PowerMac G5 only the Intel based ones? Since I don't have a
Intel Mac and if what I read was correct I was wondering if I
should get CS3 before its gone...
Anyone know a good news site with info?

Hard to say.
With all honesty, I would get flash just to get going and
learning, not bothering when
the upgrade will be out. Every day you can be one day ahead
of someone else in the industry
and learn stuff. Get your hands on flash now, upgrade when
available. And if happens that
new version won't work on your mac, then you have nothing to
worry about as you already have
fully functioning tool.

Ultra Cs3 with Premiere Pro CS4

I want to make sure I understand the situation with Ultra CS3.
I did not upgrade to CS4, I have a standalone Production Premium CS4.
I uninstalled PP CS3. I installed PP CS4. It took two full days to do.
Now I want to use Ultra.
From all I can find, it seems I need to uninstall CS4, re-install CS3, and
then re-install CS4, and then it will work.
Am I missing something here? I hope this isn't correct, as I don't have
an extra week laying around to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance,
DPD

This is a fun question because Ultra isn't in CS4. The answer is basically this...
Install one point product of Production Premium CS3 or Master Collection CS3 which ever package you may have with Ultra CS3, then install your CS4 apps or suite. and if you need to use virtual sets, you can either:
A. Use your Ultra CS3 software /w virtual sets, export your footage, then import that footage to what ever CS4 apps, you want to use to do some touch up work, this is probably not a perfered method as, exporting from Ultra CS3 is going to render your footage out and make the virtual set part of the footage, so if you needed to do any effects on the set itself, before adding the keyed footage this will be nearly impossible...
B. In what ever CS4 app you want to use, navigate to your Ultra CS3 folder, and import the virtual sets manually, then use those as a video layer, we can just call it video track 1 for example purposes, and overlay your keyed footage onto video track 2 or what have you... I assume you can figure it out from here...
(This is probably the best way you will find to use the virtual sets in CS4.)

CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Web Premium student upgrade

Hello,
I recently (yesterday) upgraded from CS3 web premium to CS4 web premium. I deactivated and uninstalled the CS3 first. I am now trying to open my files from the server in Dreamweaver with no luck.
What is happening is,it goes through the download process and when done all it shows is a blank HTML page with nothing on it. It is a little frustrating to say the least. Have I done something wrong? I would have thought the upgrade would be seamless.
Thanks for any and all help.

Try using a free FTP program like FileZilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ ) and see if you can get the files from your server that way. Then once on your hard drive create the site using Dreamweaver and begin editing that way. If the files download from an external client with nothing in them you may have to restore a back up of your site.

Moving CS3 keyboard shortcuts to CS4

Greetings,
Is there a way to move my ID CS3 shortcuts to ID CS4? Just moving the file doesn't seem to work. IDCS4 doesn't recognize the file is there.
Thanks,
Adrian.

I did but the name still didn't appear. It was only after I moved the file, closed and opened ID and typed in the name that it finally appeared in the list.
