Help converting files from CS4 to CS3

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has time to help me. I live in Washington, DC and we're buried in snow up here (!), so I'm not able to go to work. I can access my work files from home, but I only have ID CS3 at home (and CS4 at work). I have 2 InDesign files that I really need to be able to work with in CS3. Does anyone have time to save them to INX format for me? I zipped them together into a file here:
http://pjutter.com/CS4files.zip
I realize I'd lose some features, but it makes no difference. One of those is just a template, and the other just has info I need in it. If anyone can resave them for me, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Can't wait to get a new home computer... Tried updating to CS4 on this one, but this machine's not up for it.
Thanks, Phyllis

These work great, thank you so much!
So long as I only work on new stuff, I guess it doesn't matter if I switch to CS3. :-) I'll turn down requests for major edits to long documents already done in CS4!
We have 2 feet of snow on the ground here and are expecting 10-20 more inches of snow starting around noon! DC is basically shut down. I live right in the middle of the District, and the roads are a mess here. I can't imagine how bad the suburbs are.
Thanks again!
Phyllis

Help converting files from vob to use in Adobe Premiere Pro

Help... I just recently purchased the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to use to edit some videos that I shot with the Sony DCR-DVD505. The files save as a vob file and I cannot get them to import into Adobe Premiere. I have tried several different conversion programs - but when I open them up into Adobe I have video and no sound. I have tried converting to mpg and to avi. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to send the Adobe software back for a refund. I am extremely green at editing and this has been very frustrating.

I would not return Adobe, I would return the camera, it is not suited for editing. If you insist on editing that material and end up with pretty crappy results, play it out from a DVD player into a good tape based DV video camera thru analog in and pass it thru to firewire for capture.
To put it another way, when maximum achievable fidelity of video is 100, your camera is at 10% due to the heavy MPEG compression. You need to convert that to DV and you are left with around 8% due to DV compression, you then need to encode it again to MPEG and you end up with less than 1% out of a possible 100.

Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents. Can you offer any help with this?

Hi,
If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
Hope this helps,

"Convert file from:" error box

Every time I click on a PDF file to download, the downloads window comes up and shows the download progress, and when the download finishes, a box appears that says "Convert File". In the box it says: Convert file from: then it lists various file types i.e., Text only, MS-DOS Text, Rich Text Format, HTML Document, Single File Web Page, Unicode Text and many more. It is trying to open a PDF file in Microsoft Word. I can't figure out how to change this. Help please?!

That does not sound like Safari behavior. Are you using Safari to download, or another browser such as FireFox?
Edit: Actually, I re-read what you wrote and saw that you said it was trying to open using MS Word. So I think the "convert file" message is coming from Word.
Therefore, I think you have .pdf files currently set to open using MS Word. So after Safari completes the download, it is handing it off to MS Word to open, and MS Words is running and asking how to convert it to one of the formats Word supports.
If the above sounds reasonable based on a lot of assumptions I made, you can try the following. First show any PDF file you already have in a Finder window. Right (Control) click on it, and select +Get Into+. In the Info window, look for +Open with+. In that section, if it currently set to open using Word, select either Preview (default setting) or +Adobe Reader+. Then, click the button below that setting that says +Change All+. This should change the setting so that all PDF files open with whatever app you selected that is not Word.

Convert files from Canon C300

Hi,
I want to convert files from Canon C300, but i can only import one by one file. Is it possible ti import all in the same time?
The Canon C300 files are encapsulated, i just have access to MXF file when i open folder by folder.
I'm in iMac, Yosemite.
Thanks,
Lise

Thank you for the reply. I have struggled with this problem for about 6 weeks. Got bum information from both Canon and Adobe. Grew discouraged.
As a “test” after reading the discussion, I downloaded the trial version of Elements 10. It contained RC 6.6, which would not do the S100. I “updated”
to 6.7 which finally did the job. I’m really curious as to why the download of Elements 10 doesn’t “ship” with the latest RC? I guess just to maintain
confusion for as long as possible.
Thanks again. Only your reply enabled a final solution.

Help on saving back from CS4 to CS3 with the crop mark issue.

I am not asking how to create crop marks I needing to know how to save back from CS4 to has already has been created in 3. See issue below.
I am the only one with CS4 in this office. I have to save back to CS3 for everyone else to read. When looking in the artboard, I can see the un-editable crop marks that were made in CS3, but when I work on the file and save it down, they can no longer call up the crop marks. Any clue as to were they might access what should be there?

These work great, thank you so much!

Exporting files from CS4

Is there any way to export files directly from CS4 rather than going through Media Encoder? It just took over 7min to export out a :30 spot in DV AVI format. I was recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and am not liking the export functions in CS4.

No, everything must go through AME. 5.0 added the ability to do a Direct Export.
However, that probably isn't the cause of your slowdown.

Need help transferring files from my canon vixia hg21 to final cut express!

I can't seem to get my camera or its files to show up on the FCE log and transfer window. If anyone knows of a way to get this to work i would greatly appreciate it!!!. also, I have already tried converting files to get them to be an agreeable format for FCE but the end result is always low quality.

HI -
Log and Transfer only works with HD material, so make sure you shot in the HD mode.
Also, some times if there are multiple file formats on the same camera storage, like HD clips, SD clips and still images, this can prevent Log and Transfer from working properly. If that is the case, see if you can off load and delete all the non-HD material from the camera storage so that only HD material is there.
Then:
Open FCE.
Open the Log and Transfer window.
Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefs.jpg!
Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefsToPlainStereo.jpg!
Close Log and Transfer and close FCE.
Now connect your camera via USB with the camera on, open FCE and then open Log and Transfer and see if the window populates with clips.
Hope this helps.

I cannot encode .flv files from CS4 using AME

I’m having a problem encoding .flv files from Adobe Media Encoder CS4. All the jobs in the encoder encode for a period of time then stop about a ¼ of the way through the file.
I am encoding from a Matrox preset project at 1280x720p 59.94fps. Some clips have a luma corrector effect on them. After rendering, some clips will come up completely black on the timeline so I have decided to leave them unrendered. I don’t know if that is related to why I cannot encode a .flv file or not.
The settings I’m using for the .flv are:
.flv file, 720p, CBR, 3000kbps.
What’s strange is that I have encoded other .flv files from these same timelines but all have been smaller in screen resolution. That is the only difference. I can also encode .flv files from other projects without issue.
I don’t know why this is not working? Who can Help?!!!

OK, so if you do a quick SAVE AS to a new project, and remove the luma corrector, can you encode all the way through?
I have no experience with Matrox so I won't "go there".

How do I convert files from .mts to something recognizeable by iMovie?

I've been trying to convert .mts files saved on a hard drive (I don't have the original file structure from the camcorder) into into something readable by iMovie. I have tried all the available formats in Toast Titanium, but the converted files are always greyed out in iMovie when I try to import them.
This has been extremely frustrating, and has led me to wonder what Apple was thinking when they made iMovie so picky about what it will accept. I've looked on various forums, but haven't found any solutions to my proble, so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Also, have a look at Voltaic here:
http://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd
Before purchasing my Intel MacBook Pro I used a much earlier version of Voltaic to convert my AVCHD footage into AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for use in iMovie '08. It was slow but worked very well.
iMovie '09 actually converts AVCHD clips into the AIC format when importing the MTS files from a camera or from a FULL camera archive. The full archive includes all the contents of the camera, including the clips index - as you've discovered. However, Voltaic only needs the clips, not the full camera contents.

Help transferring files from old Mac 10.3.9 to new Mac 10.6.1

Hi - I just bought a new iMac with Snow Leopard and I am trying to transfer my old files from my iMac running 10.3.9. I connected a FireWire cable between the two and restarted the old iMac while holding down the "t" key, using Migration Assistant on the new iMac. Migration Assistant kept saying that it was waiting for the old iMac to restart, even though the old one HAD restarted. I looked on the forums and saw that I should try to run Setup Assistant from the Utilities folder on the old iMac. But there isn't a Setup Assistant in the Utilities folder.
So I am at an impasse. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Some of the items I've found via searching suggest to avoid transfer or migration of older
files from the ancient 10.3 over to the newer 10.5 or 10.6. And when the old computer is
a PowerPC, the new Intel-based Mac may not see or be able to use some of the items.
The older Setup Assistant is supposed to do for Panther 10.3 what the newer Migration
Assistant does for Tiger 10.4; to an extent. The results from the older system are limited.
There is a way to have the new computer import some of the older computer's user files
and account info into it, before its first run; but with a leap so great between 10.3 & 10.6,
the results overall won't be as satisfactory as just running the new computer totally new;
going through the setup and upgrade processes independent of the old Mac altogether.
The Apple Support- Snow Leopard page should have some upgrade and migration help
info on there which may be helpful: http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/
It would appear that the instructions for migrating from an older Mac to one running 10.5
or 10.6 apply to the older computer, so the Panther software may be secondary if it really
matters at all in this process. See this document, and wonder along with me... This is not
quite the same as a migration assistant; but you don't need FW Target Disk in either case.
• Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6:
How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
The older method may not apply in the path you've chosen, outlined here, below;
but note there are matters about file and older app compatibility in the newer OS:
• Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4:
Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554
In the past, I've done a bit of upgrade and some migration action and found that overall,
the new OS X seemed to work a lot better with nothing old involved. That's just me!
And I'm sure each individual's mileage may vary...
Good luck & happy computing!
