CS4 and using Beyond Trust

Has anyone had any experience/luck running CS4 PPro/AME/Encore without admin rights? If you got it to work... HOW? Our IT dept is taking away admin rights and functionality of these 3 is greatly diminished (like I can't get a finished product out of the PC). They keep talking about using a product from Beyond Trust. Anyone know anything about it? I need to get them to solve the problem they created fast so I can get back to work or prove to them the ONLY solution is admin rights.

That My Documents aspect, has tripped up many folk, runnning on a network. I have not read of any "solution" to it, but to allow Premiere to "have its way." Maybe others have gotten a workaround from Adobe, but I've just not seen it.
Glad that things are getting better. Unless on has spent some of their IT time with graphics/NLE workstations, it's a whole different ballgame for them. Most IT folk are really good with other programs on a network, but then when they encounter a graphics/NLE workstation, they are out of their element, as there are some specific requirements. One client, the only graphics person in that corporation, always had issues with her IT department messing up her Adobe programs. They wanted to do everything on her machine, just like the other 1000 computers that they administered. She would sneak me into her office, sort of like Mission Impossible, and I would set up her Adobe programs. That would work fine for a while, until IT did any sort of update, and then they would undo all of the Adobe settings, and her computer would be useless, until I climbed down the rope from the vent, and "fixed" it for her. Her IT department knew the rest of the network well, but had never bothered to even look at her Adobe programs, for their unique requirements - just not something that they wanted to do, for just one machine.
Good luck, and maybe a bottle of 25 year old Single Malt Scotch to the IT guy?

  • I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need?

    I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need? I get his error when trying to install the latest patch: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again."

    If the camera is newer than the last version of Camera Raw that was released for an older version of Photoshop, you won't be able to get direct, convenient "open file" support for the raw files.
    You can check per these links:
    Minimum Camera Raw version required for a particular camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw versions available for update with various Photoshop releases:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Just glancing at those links, Photoshop CS4 can update to only as far as Camera Raw 5.7.  Unfortunately, the minimum required version to work with your T3i is Camera Raw 6.4.
    Your fallback position will be to either convert your raw files to DNG format with the latest free DNG converter release, or get a newer version of Photoshop.  The later has an advantage in that there have been substantial improvements to Camera Raw in recent releases.

  • I have CS4 and use photoshop, illustrator,

    I have CS4 and primarily only use Photoshope, illustrator, and Indesign running on an iMAC 10.8.5.   I want to upgrade to Apple's OSX Yosemite, but am reluctant to do so, as I keep reading that people are incountering "error" issues with the CS4 version.   Has Adobe addressed these problems?  I don't have the need to migrate to the Creative Cloud and CS4 does everything I need.  

    Adobe hasn't addressed those "issues" and never will. Nobody goes back to 8 year old software just because it's no longer compatible with whatever Apple have gotten in their heads with Yosemite. Simply stick with what you have.

  • Co-existence of CS4 and creative cloud

    I have been having CS4 for 4 years now, recently I buy a license for creative cloud.  Should I uninstall all of my CS4 and use only CC or shall I download the current version of Photoshop, Illustrator from CC to my desktop and co-exist CS4 with CC version.

    Hi,
    You definitely want to install into a different folder so you
    don't overwrite things like the jdeveloper.ini files.
    If you have 2.0 installed in a directory like 'C:\JDeveloper',
    installe 3.0 in 'C:\JDeveloper 3.0'. You should not have any
    problems with a space in the directory name.

  • Compatability between CS4 and CS5 PPro?

    Hi
    I'm working off CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash, Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing too complicated.
    I work with someone who will eventually create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.
    If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible?
    Also, if I want to then adjust that flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems?
    Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4)
    Thanks

    If you are dealing with Exported files, there should not be any issues.
    If you are dealing with the Project files (PRPROJ), then there is a one-way street, that usually works, but that will depend on what is used in the CS4 Projects. One can usually Open, or Import a CS4 Project into CS5, but it will be converted, so that converted Project will never likely open in CS4. Also, CS5 created Projects will never likely Open in CS4.
    With Exported AV files, there should not be an issue.
    Good luck,

    So as far as Premiere is concerned you are importing Quicktime MOV files from Flash?
    When you import MOV files into Flash they are frame-by-frame animations taking up frames on the timeline, either on the main stage or in a Movie Clip.  There is a limit in Flash in general to the number of frames you can have in a single animation, something like 16000 or 12000 frames.  Depending on your fps this could be a relatively short or longer amount of time that the animation will play.  I don't think there will be as many issues importing and exporting between Premiere Pro and Flash as there are with Flash CS4 and CS5 itself.  TLF is a framework for laying out text (Text Layout Framework) which allows you some functionality of InDesign-style text-box layouts such as multi-columns, tracking and kerning, etc.

  • Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
    1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
    2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
    3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
    4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3  DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
    Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
    Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
    Ian

    This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
    You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
    Goodluck.
    How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
    If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
    Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
    Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
    Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
    Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
    Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
    Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
    Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
    Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
    Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
    In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

    So the CS4 will never be able to open Raw 5D Mark III files.
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

    Purchase CS6 full version (CS4 is too old to qualify for an upgrade)

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

    code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
    _root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame');  // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg,  _parent or _parent._parent etc).
