CS4 CS5 converted project = audio error

Anyone come across this:
I have a project that was converted from After Effects CS4 to CS5, that shows the following strange behaviour in CS5:
The comps contain layers that consist of AIFF audio files. When doing an audio preview (.) or a RAM preview, the audio does not play the part of the AIFF file that, according to the time-code, it should play. It starts where it should, but then suddenly it skips a few seconds to another part of the AIFF. All that while the red indicator bar suggests it is still playing lineair as it should (the red line does not "skip" to another point.
This leaves me with an unworkable situation, as it is quite unpredictable which part of the audio will play right...
As far as i can tell this behaviour only happens with a converted project (CS4 > CS5) in After Effects.
But when I started a new project in Premiere Pro I got the same skipping audio with a totally new project!
Converted back to CS4 for now.

The After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update is available:

This update should address this issue. After you've installed the update, please let us know whether it works for you.
If you have any problems with the update, or if you have bugs to report after you've installed the update, please let us know through the usual channels:

Premiere Pro CS5 skipping audio error

Anyone come across this:
When trying to edit an AIFF audio file in the Premiere Pro timeline, the audio skips when playing back,
meaning that after a few seconds it just skips several seconds and starts playing a different part further on in the same AIFF...
The indicator bar does not visually "skip": just moves on steady as it should.

Mark,
Your observations are probably spot on. I cannot only comment through PrPro 2.0, so changes could certainly have occurred. I do know that CS4 changed a lot, regarding Audio.
In my CS2 Production Studio version, I have had up to 22 Timelines/Sequences and most have had from 6 to 24 Audio Tracks, with a DD 5.1 SS Master Track. I have had zero issues with any Audio dropouts. Now, I have had issues with Playback stopping and at totally random spots, and this has happened with very simple to very complex Sequences, and different spots. Sometimes, this has happened with a fresh boot and Project load, but also after many hours of editing. These halts come and go. I've had them happen a dozen times in a row, only to then disappear in that editing session. I've had sessions that lasted for days, with not one, only to fire up the program, and get 3 halts in a row. That has been my only, even moderately similar experience.
Wish I could comment on later versions, but I cannot.
Thanks for your observations and for reporting,
Hunt

Premiere Pro & Encore Errors - CS4 / CS5 Side-By-Side Install

Hello, all.
I am trying to use CS Production Premium CS4 and CS5 together on the same machine. I have been getting some really crazy errors and happenings lately on Premiere Pro (CS4) and Encore (both CS4 & CS5). In another forum in Creative Cow, someone mentioned that CS4 and CS5 should not live on the same partition, and that may be causing my problems. You can view that thread here: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/908105.
The long and short:
I have had CS4 installed for a while on my machine (see specs in the signature line), and installed CS5 alongside using all the default install values.
Taking the troubled applications one at a time, here are some errors I am encountering:
PREMIERE PRO CS4
Upon launch, the following message appears:
This is what prompted someone to note that CS4 & CS5 should not live on the same partition. I HAVE SINCE UNINSTALLED CS5 and the error still persists.
ENCORE CS4
Upon launch, it automatcially crashes and the Windows error messages pop up:
I HAVE SINCE UNINSTALLED CS5 and the error still persists.
ENCORE CS5:
Shorter DVDs with simple timelines seem to transcode and burn just fine. However, with longer timelines or more complex projects, it returns the following errors:
A detailed view of the error message is below:
I have not been able to test this after the uninstall of CS5, but I can only assume that it still has this issue.
As far as I can tell, Premiere Pro CS5 works just fine.
In addition to the previous errors, After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 also have trouble rendering to networked locations (i.e.--mapped drives). The renders fail immediately with "unknown errors". I am not sure if this has something to do with the side-by-side configuration or not, but it is another issue that has been problematic. The CS4 versions can render to any location with no problems.
Any guidance on how to get CS4 and CS5 to coexist will be greatly appreciated! I do need both versions for various reasons, so getting rid of one is not an option (and as the uninstall of CS5 has proven, not effective).
Thank you!

You can certainly run CS4 and CS5 applications on the same computer, from the same partition, and even at the same time. Problems do ari
se if you install CS4 after CS5, but installing CS5 after CS4 should work fine. Every one of my computers has CS4 and CS5 on them (and some have CS3).

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

Saving a CS4 InDesign file in CS5 gives me an error

I have an InDesign file that I originally created in CS4, but when I opened in CS5, I get an error saying:
"Cannot save 'Filename.indd' under a new name"
I tried to export to IDML as suggested in the forums, but I get an error message stating:
"Disk may be locked or full"
I can open the document in CS5 just fine, but when I try to save my changes, it gibes me the original error stated above.
Thanks...

I think I figured it out. For some reason I could not copy the file under the original directory I had my .indd file. I am on a Mac OS and my Finder kept asking me to "Authenticate" the CS4 file before I could open it. Anyway, I took the newly edited CS5 file and saved into a different folder and everything worked fine. I am not sure why it "locked" my file so I couldn't overwrite it, but now all is good...
Thanks..

Feather error in Illustrator CS4, CS5 (Win)

caribou_areas.ai (.98MB) (alternatively caribou_areas.zip (959 Kb))
CS4 & CS5 Design Standard
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3 GHz, 3 GB RAM
Win XP (SP3)

Yes, my message got posted before I intended - sorry :-o
Then I lost my edit. Trying again...
I'm having trouble applying a 5 pt feather via the Effect>Stylize menu to a closed path with a 17% transparent magenta fill: keep getting the message "an error occurred while processing the appearance of an object".
All of the other similar, but smaller objects in the file which have less nodes don't cause the error when I feather them, so I wonder if there's something odd about this particular object (the largest one with the most nodes) that's provoking the error. Or if there's some kind of node/path limit for feathering.
I get the same error if I try applying a feather to the same object when it has 100% magenta opacity; just upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and nothing has changed.
I have posted the file here:
http://www.claireart.ca/caribou_areas.ai
or http://www.claireart.ca/caribou_areas.zip
It represents endangered species areas which will look a lot nicer on my base map if I can feather the edges, so I'd appreciate any suggestions ;-)
Thanks.

No audio output for CS5 even with Audio Output box checked

Ever since about a year or so, My CS5 has been unable to render any projects with audio outputs, regardless of the audio format. I had checked the Audio Output box in the Output Module setting every time.Still no audio. Now I have to export the project to Premiere to output it. In my current project, my audio is a MP3 music file. Same result. Should I convert the audio into certain formats first?

Just speaking from experience on my own systems, irrespective of software used, I have found that despite being able to play both 44100 khz and 48000 khz my Blackmagic based systems have sometimes had issues with mute audio On one of the settings but fine on the other. If you start with an accepted preset and work from there it might be best.
Are you sure the audio track(s) is turned on in the timeline? I know it is ridiculous but we can all develop silly habits and keep on making the same mistakes over and over when we try to make things work, then add some more mistakes for good measure having forgotten to return settings to their previous state.
Also, I would not assume you are dealing with one error only, sorry. :-)

Inserting a FLV file into CS5.5 project

Hello,
If anybody is able to help me with my question I would be forever grateful.
1. I use CS5.5 and I have published a captivate demonstration as a MP4 - then converted it to a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder.
2. I have then inserted the FLV file into another captivate CS5.5 project and published the file as a flash file.
Problem - The FLV file plays when previewing in web browser, and also plays on a public file location. Problem occurs when I load the published file onto a web server I get a connection error when I get to the slide with the FLV file.
I am really stumped with this one. Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
ali

Hi Rod,
Attached is a screen dump. I can understand why when I publish the final flash version to a web server that it does not recognise the path of the FLV file as it is on my local drive. However when I attempt to place the file name of the file sitting on the web server I get another error message (Refer to screen dump 2). Obviously I am missing something
I am missing here. Thanks ali

AE CS6 crashes while trying to open CS5.5 project

Just downloaded the demo of CS6, but am having a nightmare trying to open my CS5.5 project. I get the following error message
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shadow/Highlight".
I tried opening a different project, and a similar error occurs, but with a different plugin. This time it's the Paint plugin.
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Paint".
Any suggestions?

Okay.
Using After Effects CS6 trying to open a project that was created in AE CS5.5
Running Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB graphics card
2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
24 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Source footage is mostly DPX files, some ProRes quicktimes and PSD files as well. It's a rather large project. The project file weighs in at 328 MB
Not running any other software. still crashes.
I do have Flip4Mac installed... The project also references missing plug-ins. See screencap. These plugins are in the project but are not turned on...
Thats the error.
I disabled render frames simultaneously. I tried enabling caps lock, still crashes. One thing to note is the project pieces start showing up before it crashes, so it is loading most if not all of the project before it crashes... Anything else that might be important to figuring this out?

Using Photoshop CS4/CS5 and Lightroom 2/3 on Win 7 vs OSX

I do NOT want to re-ignite the no-win discussion of pc vs mac. Now that CS5 is announced, yet again as I preprare to upgrade from CS4, I ask if I should convert fromWin7 64-bit on a PC to MAC Pro running OSX. I currently run a WIN 7 64-bit PC with 8 GB Ram. I would consider buying a MAC PRO with 8 GB RAM. The machine(s) are used strictly for image processing, no general office work or general internet surfing except as relates to supporting my software, etc.
I don't want to discuss PC vs MaC but I would like to understand the limits, advantages/disadvantages of one platform vs the other as specifically relates to CS4/CS5 and/or Lightroom 2/3. In other words are there functions or processes that I can do on one platform and not the other, or do better on one compared to the other, not does one cost more than the other any comments or help?? Mike

As a casual user of CS products, I find no substantive differences between using them on a Mac vs. PC. I can cross post this question over to the Photoshop forum (originally posted to the Photoshop.com web site forum, which is not just about the desktop app).
It's probably going to become a Mac vs. PC discussion, since the question is inherently 'which is better', but hopefully people will remain objective and constructive!

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't! I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset. All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support. Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'. I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch. I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project. Because it seems you very much can not!

Dennis,
Many thanks.

Jarrod,
As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers. That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support. This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
Here's a couple of suggestions:
1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
Try these things and let me know how you make out. Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs. I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times. You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.

How do I synch project audio to video ??

I recently digitized my old vhs tapes using a Roxio converter. I brought the files into iMovie11 and then split the events into smaller projects. With some of the projects, the entire project audio track ended up being out of synch with the video. How do I re-synch them ?? This is my first experience with iMovie and it looks like fun once I learn the details.
All help is apprecitated, Thanks

I suggest...
First insert a blank clip at the beginning and end of your movie, so you will have some room to move the sound around. You can find a blank black clip under the Maps Tab on the middle toolbar.
Now, select your clip and right-click/Detach Audio. Now you can drag the audio right or left.
