Import of Premiere Pro 2.0 projects into Premiere CS5.5 - poor results

Hello Folks,
I am planing to upgrade my Premiere Pro 2.0 to CS5.5. I am trying the test version which I like very much.
But I have problems when I try to work with my old projects.
Indeed I can import them (copies of course) into the CS5.5 whithout any trouble. But any sequences which formerly consisted of many clips and titles are now only one monolytical stripe in the timeline. It is the whole film, but no clips or any other components can be seen any more.
I need to see the whole thing as it was during development, not just something like the final version.
I read several threads in this forum about open / inport problems. But they all sounded as they concerned about more basic steps.
I can do imports, but the resulsts are poor.
Does anyone know the trick I have to apply - or is this realy what Adobe calls "import" ?
Best regards to all of you
Trombach

Harm,
I must admit - this is just too crazy.
I pulled it to the timeline instead.
I pulled different sequences, I believe I spent over an hour pulling .... !
THANK YOU so much for enlighting me.
From now on I will always double click before asking green horn questions in forums ..

btw. this forum is faster than I ever expected :-)

Import Premiere Pro CS3 Windows projects into Premiere Pro CS5 Mac.

Hi there people. I hope you can help me. I have had premiere pro CS3 on my windows system for some years but now run a Mac with Master Collection CS5, my problem is that my existing prproj files on windows format do not open in CS5 Premiere Pro for Mac, I get a message telling me that I need to see the user guide for importing options, I have tried to do so, but there is no information about how to do this.
Can anyone here please tell me how to get around this, as I need to rework some of these old windows projects however my old windows system is totally dead now so I cannot open the files in the CS3 windows version either.
Please help, oh and spare me the useless windows vs. mac arguments.
I hope someone here can help
Thanks

Since you are trying to Open a CS3 PC Project, you should not have THAT many issues in CS5 Mac. Have you tried both the Open and Import - similar but different operations? Have both methods failed?
One possible problem would be the Effects & Transitions used in the CS3 PC Project. Here is a LIST of the Transitions and Effects in CS4 for the PC, that are missing in the Mac version. I would assume that CS3 and CS5 would be similar. However, in similar cases, PrPro has thrown a more specific error message. I have only Opened Pr 6.5 Mac Projects into PrPro 2.0 PC, and these have been almost perfect. Where there were missing Transitions, I got a very explicit message, telling me what had been used that was missing from my program, and exactly where the problem existed (specific TimeCode). In my case, two Transitions just did not exist in my PrPro 2.0, and one was a 3rd party Transition, or Effect, and I did not have that. Still, the older Mac Projects Opened fine, and I just made note of where I would need to make changes. I would anticipate that similar would occur, if the Mac version did not have some Transition, or Effect, but do not know specifically. Still, based on the warning messages that I got, with such complete documentation, I'd expect similar.
Now another consideration - Assets. If there are Assets that you cannot work with on your Mac, say DV-AVI, or WMV, those would likely throw an error. Again, I would expect that error message to elaborate a bit more.
Do you know the details of your CS3 Projects and their Assets? Anything that you can think of there?
Just thinking here, and unfortunately, I have never gone the direction that you are going, and with the versions that you are working with, so something simple and glaring (to others) might just be slipping past me.
Good luck, and maybe others will have much better input on your issue. Also - welcome to the forum!

Importing Premiere Pro 1.5 project into After Effects 5.5?

I tried unsuccessfully to import a Premiere Pro 1.5 project into After Effects 5.5, so am guessing the two programs are not compatible. Which version of AE would I need in order to make this work?

Well, only logical - AE 5.5 is 2 years, before PremierePro 1.0 even existed, so it wouldn't know anything about the file format. At least CS is required, meaning AE 6.5.

After Effects project into Premiere Pro

I am having trouble importing my After Effects project into Premiere. It isn't playing once I bring it in to my premiere.

What versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro? What operating system? What kinds of source footage?
What exactly are you doing? What menu commands are you choosing, and what things are you clicking, and in what order?
Here is a page that describes ways to move things from After Effects and Premiere Pro and vice versa:
"Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects
There are many ways to move things between these applications, but importing an After Effects project into Premiere Pro is not one of them, so I'm confused by your issue as you've stated it.

Import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7.

Is it possible (or NOT) import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7?
Thanks a lot for any help.

It is only possible to open some PrE Projects into the right version of PrPro, but will not work the other way around. The error message that you will get is "This Project was created in Adobe PrPro and you need to open it in that program."
Even going the PrE to PrPro route is filled with potholes. I can open some PrE 4 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but not all - depends on what was done. Later versions of PrE will not open in PrPro 2.0, but some have opened in CS3 and CS4, though much can keep one from being able to do that.
Sorry for the bad news,

Premiere Pro CS6 extreme project bloating and Media Encoder

Hi there,
I'm interested in hearing if others are having this issue and if there's a fix. I first noticed this bug in CS5 and it hasn't changed in CS6.0.1. An editor I'm working with recently discovered the problem at the expense of a project being usable the day before clients are coming in to work on cuts.
Here's what's happening: we have a 20MB commercial project, no warp stabilizer in play, no frequent "save as..." commands being used, both of which seem to contribute to project bloating based on some online research. I've been using Premiere as a finishing timeline since CS5 and noticed back then, when we were making some settings in Media Encoder, that when you click and drag sequences into ME instead of using the "Add Premiere Pro Sequence" menu option, the Premiere project file size quickly increases and saves and autosaves start taking several minutes to complete.
We've been using the "Add Premiere Pro Sequence" method to send things to ME on this project but the editor was getting impatient the amount of time it was taking for ME to load the project and get to the point where he could pick which sequences he wanted to encode. He did a bit of research and found the click and drag method to be faster. After a handful of times using this method, the project size went from 20MB to 3.71GB. Our autosave folder is set keep 5 versions of the project and you can see the project size doubling from 477MB to 840MB to 1.6GB.
I was able to import the 477MB project into a new project and save it out at its original size of 20MB. However, this meant that we lost about 90 minutes worth of work. I tried to import the 3.71GB file overnight and it had made no progress when I came in this AM.
Reading online, I found that the "Save As..." command had previously caused some kind of duplication of preview file links in the project code. I opened up our 20MB project in TextWrangler and compared it to the 840MB project's lines of code. The 20MB project had 400k lines and the 840MB project had about a million. The difference appeared to stem from links to Preview files. I wanted to try to clear those out to see if I could get the project size down but, probably because of the file size, TextWrangler crashed.
Is there any way to clean out the bloat from these projects without importing into a new project? Also, are there settings in Media Encoder or Premiere that will prevent the bloat from happening when using the click-drag method of getting sequences into ME? We're using the "Use Preview Files" option, which greatly speeds up the compression in ME, but might be contributing to the issue.
Here are the machine specs:
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz 12-core
16GB RAM
NVidia Quadro 4000
ATTO Fibrechannel card
Blackmagic Design Decklink Extreme 2
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Best,
Jon

Thank you for your response.
-I tried exporting an AVI and the file exported succesfully but with a warning "Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file." The file plays fine though and is over 5.5GB. So that's odd that my h.264 which is under 1GB won't fully export.
-Yes, the same thing happens when exporting directly from PrPro instead of using AME.
-In this project I am using NO Dynamic Links.
-I have not installed any codec libraries.
-I do not use 3rd party plug-ins.
-My destination drive has several terabytes.
Thanks,
Nate

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX). Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc. project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly. When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE. That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot. Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
please help!
thank you

Open Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Hi everyone,
Did somebody knows how to open Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC ?
Best regards, Alex

This method is not good for me, because I lost stuff like titles with its settings of motions and effects (I try to open my templates for video clips ).
Maybe there is another way to do it ?

Premiere Pro 1.5 OEM to Premiere Pro CS4 upgrade non-OEM?

According to Adobe customer service chat, I was told that the serial number of my Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 is an OEM version. I purchased it on eBay. Adobe informed me that is not liscensed to anyone and is not registered.
Adobe told me that when going from OEM to the Premiere Pro CS4 upgrade CD, my Premiere Pro will no longer be the OEM version.
Is this true?
Also, I am able to upgrade OEM Premiere Pro 1.5 to non-OEM CS4. Anyone have experience with this?

You may have to first open the old project on a PC, as there was no Mac version for 1.5.

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.

CReative Cloud Premiere Pro Family CS6 not downloading Premiere but it says it's installed

I've run the AAM install for most of the programmes from Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro Family CS6. However, Premiere Pro is not showing as an app downloaded alongside the other packages on my hard drive (although Encore is). How can I get Premiere Pro installed from Creative Cloud?

Hi Jayne,
I would try uninstalling it from

Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
and then reinstalling it
