[CS4] Updating Only AE to CS5 from CS4

Hoping to get some experienced guidance about the value of update to AE CS5 from the Production Premium of CS4.
Would there be snafus involved when say premier from CS4 interacts with AE updated to CS5.
Would there be any serious advantages to making that kind of upgrade?
So far as an eventual upgrade overall to CS5 goes, would having upgraded AE turn out to be an extra expenditure... That is, would I end up paying for it twice to speak?

I've made the change from Production Premium CS4 to adding AE 10 only.  Since I have absolutely NO problems, I'm confident in recommending the following:
If you have any other updates to make, save them, and un-register (not the proper term) your copy of CS4 Production Premium.  You'll find how to do it in Photoshop's Help menu.
Install any newer media applications: quicktime comes to mind.
Reinstall CS4 production Premium.
Run any and ALL updates for CS4 Production premium, in all applications, if necessary.
Install After Effects CS5, and run the update application under the Help menu.
I've been running both for three weeks, with absolutely NO complaints.  Yes, it does take time... but which would you rather have in the long run: a fast install and problems, or a painstaking install and NO problems?

  • Can I upgrade to CS5 from CS4 if CS4 is not on my computer?

    I downloaded CS4 from the internet and ran it on my computer until the computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I now have CS4 on a backup disk ONLY, and it won't install from the disk for some reason. I get this error message:
    UI mode: Full GUI
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
      what():  Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
    If I upgrade to CS5, does CS4 have to be on my new hard drive to do so? I DO have the registration number for my copy of CS4. I don't want to pay the full price for CS5 when I can pay for the upgrade only.
    Thanks!

    If you downloaded the CS4 product, then you can still access the download files from your Adobe account. Log in to your account and look under My Orders. (If you weren't able to deactivate the previous installation, you'll need assistance from a support agent before you can reinstall the CS4 software.)
    However, you don't need CS4 installed in order to install the upgrade. You do, however, need the CS4 serial number.

  • Upgrading to PP CS5 from CS4 Master Collection

    Hi there,
    I am currently running Premiere Pro CS4, as part of the CS4 Master Collection package.
    I need to upgrade my copy of Premiere to CS5 but can't afford to upgrade the rest of the bundled software.
    Is it possible to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS5 from a copy of CS4 within the CS4 Master Collection, or am I only entitled to upgrade to the entire Master Collection CS5?
    Thanks!

    I upgraded from the CS 4.0 Master Collection to the CS 5.5 Master Collection myself. If you use the other products in the Master Collection you should upgrade the whole thing. Photoshop, AE and DreamWeaver have had some nice new features added since version 4. Keep in mind Audition is now included with the Master Collection.

  • How do I transfer all styles,commands,patterns and so on to cs5 from cs4 after upgrading?

    Hello Everybody!
    I just upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I see, the cs4 is still available in the computer. This is good, but I would like to know the easiest way to transfer all the Brushes, Commands, Styles, and even gradients I have spent all the years getting from the internet and creating to the CS5. Is copying and pasting the Presets the only way? I thought the upgrade would automatically transfer these things, but not even extensions that are suppose to appear in the commands area or insert toolbars are showing up. If I knew upgrading would be too much hassle, I would have stayed with my CS4 as I am in the middle of a big project and thought upgrading would cost me 2 hours at the most.

  • Install Upgrade CS5 from CS4

    Möchte von CS4 auf CS5 upgraden. CS5 -Seriennr habe ich bereits registriert.
    Nun hänge ich bei der Installation mit der Meldung "Sie müssen Adobe Bridge schließen,
    um fortzufahren." Habe jedoch die Bridge garnicht am Laufen.
    Kann ich nicht einfach das gesamte Software-Paket CS4 VOR der Installation von CS5 aus dem System
    entfernen? --Sind dabei besondere Dinge bezügl. der Serien-Nr. von CS4 zu beachten ?
    Mir scheint bald, dass man für die ganze Angelegenheit ein Informatikstudium erfolgreich abgelegt haben muß.
    Oder was ist zu tun. Habe übrigens CS5 in Form einer CD von einem Software-Händler
    gekauft und kein Download von Adobe.

    Hi,
    Does the message say "Include Adobe Bridge" or "Close Adobe Bridge"?
    (Erscheint die Meldung sagen "Include Adobe Bridge" oder "CloseAdobe Bridge"?)
    Which CS5 product upgrade are you trying to install and are you using a Windows or a Macintosh computer?

    Used a Language translator. My apologies if the German translation is not entirely correct.

  • Upgrade to CS5 from CS4 Performance issues

    This was originally posted in the Creative Suites section.  Bob Levine suggested I try a specific program forum to get better attention.  It has been a present performance problem for me with Premier Pro and Photoshop so I shall try here.
    I have been using CS4 for several months on a new i7 quad 64bit PC with 4 x 1TB HDs and 12GB RAM.  When I use Photoshop or P.Pro, the performance is fast for several operations but slows down as I progress to a snail pace.  At times, I have rebooted the PC to get up to speed again.  I do not know if this is a problem with the CS4 32 bit program working on a 64 bit machine, even with Photoshop.  Perhaps I am clicking too fast.  If I install the source file on a separate drive to the C drive and send the output file to a third drive, performance improves as expected.  Perhaps timing within/between drives and the 32 bit program may be a problem on a 64 bit PC.  I have ordered an upgrade to CS5 hoping that a 64 bit program will provide better performance on the 64 bit PC.  Naturally the PC performance is expected to be faster, but will the performance that slows down to a snail pace improve?

    Thank you all for your information.
    I am beginning to imagine that because of the increased speed in dealing with data, an i7 quad 64 bit PC has a challenging time to switch and route the stream of data to the various processing and temporary/permanent storage locations.  It could be that dealing with 32 bit data for the demands of video editing compounds the problem.  I may have one or several slower components in the new PC.  In anycase, I am hoping that dealing directly with 64 bits will improve the performance.  If this does not and without further suggestions from the forum, I will have the performance of the PC components thoroughly tested for compliance to the required speed specifications.

  • Can I uninstall only Premiere Pro CS5 from Master Collection?

    I have Master Collection CS5 installed on my computer.  I just purchased Premiere Pro CS6.  I would like to uninstall only PPro CS5 and then install PP CS6, but it's not apparent how to uninstall PP CS5.  Is this possible?

  • Plug-ins from CS4 to CS5?

    Best way to have the plug-ins transferred to CS5 from CS4?

    You can actually create a second copy of the application icon to run in 32-bit mode.  Just right-click on the application icon, select Copy, then right-click inside the CS5 folder and select Paste.  Rename it to "Photoshop CS5 32" or whatever you like, and then hit Cmd-i and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" box.  The new application will complain that it's been moved when you launch it - just click "Do Not Update" and it will open in 32-bit mode (you can see the x32 in the splash screen), and all of your old plugins will be available if you copied them over.
    I wanted to do this so that, when I don't need 3rd-party plugins (I don't use that many), I can launch in 64-bit mode without having to constantly switch back and forth.  It's particularly handy for launching from Lightroom - if I want to do a lens correction that's not in LR yet (and not in PS CS5 until the Camera Raw 6.1 update hits, but that's another story) I can do an "Edit in" that doesn't load plugins and works in 64-bit mode, but when I want to use Viveza, Noiseware, or the Topaz plugins, I can set up a separate "Edit in" pref to launch the 32-bit version.

  • CS5 for 10.6.8? uninstall CS4 first or just install CS5?

    is CS5 compatible with mac OS 10.6.8?
    AND
    do I have to uninstall CS4 first or just install CS5 with CS4 already on computer?

    Cs5 should run on mac os x 10.6.8
    It depends on whether you want to keep cs4 or not.
    There is really no need to uninstall cs4, as both cs4 and cs5 can "live together"
    If your sure that you don't want to keep cs4, then yes, it would be a good idea to uninstall cs4 before installing cs5.

  • Installed CS5, now can't export from CS4! Help! "Could not read from the source..."

    I installed CS5 but completely ignored the fact plugins were required to be 64-bit. It'll be months before the plugins I require for my projects to be updated!
    So I continued editing in CS4 and when I attempted to export with the media encoder it halts instantly with an exclamation mark, the log says :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been  deleted."
    And yes I'm not stupid, I did my research.
    I tried uninstalling CS4 and reinstalling. I tried the shortcut fix. I tried moving my cache files. My extensions are correct.
    Right now the only fix seems to be completely removing CS5 and CS4, After Effects just because they share files (?) and all my settings and plugins along with it! I'd rather NOT do that if I can!

    Good detective work, and glad that it worked. Now, your cure will be here for us to link to and for others to find. Your title will help direct others to this thread. Job well done.

  • CS5 upgrade from CS4 - plugins question

    Hi -
    can anyone refer me to a list of steps to move all of my plugins from CS4 to CS5 as part of the upgrade?
    My plugins are:
    Anthropics portrait pro 10
    Image Trends - Fisheye hemi, pearly whites and shine-off
    Nik Software - NIk sharpener, color efex, silver efex
    onONE - mask pro 4
    picture code - noise ninja
    Power Retouche
    Photo Frame 4
    PhotoTools Pro 2.6
    I don't really want to run both versions of photoshop... I've done that in the past and never once went back to the old once I upgraded... but open to advice there, too.
    thanks,
    tom

    Read my previous post again:
    You can only use those plug-ins in CS5 that have been upgraded by their particular software developer to run in 64 bits.
    CS4 and earlier versions of Photoshop were 32-bit Carbon applications.  CS5 is Cocoa and runs in Snow Leopard in 64 bits.  You will need to get the updated 64-bit versions of your plug-ins from each of their developers.
    Otherwise you'll need to run CS5 in 32 bits, with a corresponding loss in performance and any other consequences of running in 32 bits.

  • Upgrading plugins from CS4 to CS5

    If I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to CS5, can I simply copy all my plugins from the CS4 plugin folder to the CS5 one? I am assuming here that my plugins are compatible with both versions of Photoshop.

    The short answer is yes and no.
    Some plugins must be reinstalled, and those may not know about CS5 without an update from their manufacturer.  SOMETIMES you can identify all the supporting files and copy them as well, but this gets tricky.
    Others - those that are self-contained and don't install any supporting DLLs, need registry entries, etc. - can be copied.
    A rule of thumb is that if you copied a file into the plug-ins folder to start with, you can probably copy it to the new version of Photoshop.  From what I can see CS5 is very compatible with older plug-ins (keeping in mind that 32 bit plug-ins work only with 32 bit Photoshop CS5, and 64 bit plug-ins work only with 64 bit Photoshop).
    Never, but never point the Additional Plug-ins Folder setting at the old Photoshop installation, because there are Adobe-provided plug-ins that will conflict.

  • SEO changes from CS4 to CS5

    My site that mainly has Flash was recently updated with a file made from CS5. In my google dashboard there are a lot of new keywords that are only in the Flash file. My page ranking also dropped from 4 to 11. Does anyone know if any changes from CS4 to CS5 could have caused this? If so, what can I do to disable this compatibility with search engines?

    I am not an expert on SEO matters and do not keep up with advancements relative to it.  It is unlikely the Flash version has anything to do with your SEO rankings.  SEO is based on the information that the engines can see when they read the page.  You should be able to see the words you mention listed in the embedding code if they are being included in your dashboard.  Flash will create comment tags in the html for different key elements in a file such as links used and whatnot.  As far as I know, they cannot yet see inside the Flash file, only the external embedding code that is used.

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

    Hi There,
    I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
    However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
    I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
    I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
    I had to call the US because:
    The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
    New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
    What a joke.
    I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
    Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
    I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
    Cheers
