Importing CS4 Project into CS5.5

Can't get playback to the monitor from the timeline is the main issue (using a BMD HD Extreme I/O card). I can double click the video files in the bin and get playback to the monitor, but not from the timeline. The CS4 project is a 4 x 3 SD project. So far, I've simply double clicked the CS4 project file to open the project in CS5.5. Nothing. And, I've opened a new project in CS5.5 with the settings exactly as they were in the CS4 project. Nothing. I've made certain all tracks are active, etc.
Anyone have advice on this?
Thanks,
Bill

I should add that after setting up the CS5.5 project with settings matching the CS4 project, I imported the CS4 project into it. Again, no playback to the monitor.

Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.

Importing CS4 Workspace into CS5?

In AE CS5, is there any way to use a workspace I created in CS4? In PPro, all I had to do was open a CS4 project in CS5 with the "Import Workspace from Projects" enabled and the old workspace is now available. Is there something similar in AE or do I have to recreate my workspaces from scratch?

I haven't tried this, but it should work.(I'm typing this on a computer that doesn't have both versions installed, but I'll test this soon.)
The workspaces are stored in a set of preferences files. You should be able to copy them from the CS4 (9.0) directory to the CS5 (10.0) directory.
As with all of the preferences, these files are here:
(Mac OS) <drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0
(Windows) <drive>\AppData\Roaming\<username>\Adobe\After Effects\10.0
If this doesn't work, there's little risk, because you can always just delete the files in the preferences folder and restart After Effects, and it will recreate the default preferences, including the workspaces.

CS4 project into CS5?

Will a CS4 project open in CS5
(Maybe you could do a test on this Harm if you have time.)
I would like to know so I can plan project migration to a new system.
Answer would be good for the CS5 FAQ sub forum

Shooternz,
You should be able to recall my posted 'rant', a couple months back when I found I could not import my CS3 project into CS4 without 'errors' that rendered the project untenable in CS4. Both forum users and Tech support advised me to purchase, 'No Problems', then implied error on my part when it didn't - further compounding my aggravation. Tech Support's story changed from 'No Problems' to 'serious errors can occur in some instances' & Adobe refused to refund me until I got my state's ombudsman involved. Now my case may just be 'some instance' but I suffered a lot of emotion and wasted a lot of time. Before you spend the dollars, please, download the trial version and test it with your specific projects.

Opening CS4 Project in CS5

Hi Guys
I'm trying to open a CS4 project in CS5.
On opening I get a message saying it was created in an earlier version of Pr and must be converted. I click OK and get a screen showing all the project folders and clips with options to 'skip' or 'skip all'. I tried opening the folders but nothing is there and it says 'No items match your search'. I tried typing the project name into the 'File name' box; the same thing. I click on a clip but it that doesn't do anything either, so I click 'skip all' and when the project opens all the clips have been replaced by an image saying ' Media Offline'. I find if I right click on each clip I can relink but this would take some time as there are 75 in the project. Any ideas how I can open this project to work on?
Regards,
Graham

When you open a CS4 project in CS5, the required conversion will result in a new filename with _1 appended to the name. Then when opening this project you need to show PR where the files are located by directing it to the correct directory. Once you have done that for the first file, it will automatically find the other files in that directory. Since you have now offlined all the files by skipping them, I suggest you delete this CS5 project and import again from CS4 and taking the little time to direct PR to the correct media.

CS4 project to CS5 anomaly

Previous project was 1080 from a digital camera.
When I imported a previous CS4 PAL DV project into CS5, all the sequences were set to 1080 not DV.
I added a DV sequence, gave up and tried again. This time the sequences were DV as they should have been originally.
This suggests that there might be an anomaly sometimes when importing projects from CS4 to CS5 when they are of different types from the immediately previous work in CS5.
Working OK now, but posted so there is a record in case others have the same problem.

If I can repeat it, or others report the same issue, I'll certainly put in a bug report. But as of now it could easily be a one-off from a particular project.

Porting of CS4 Plugin into CS5 on Mac 10.6

Hello All,
I am new to Photoshop and I am trying to Port the CS4 Plugin into CS5. On Mac OS 10.5 it gets compiled properly without any major changes but the menus does not load into Photoshop menus. On Mac OS 10.6 I am facing the proplem comiling the code itself.
Can any one help me on this. What wrong I am doing or have I missed anything. I also tried to compare my code with Outboud Sample project. There is no major difference. Still why is it not getting loaded?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards
Farzana.

What platform are you compiling to and what platform is your machine?
Check your .r file and your PiPL resource and your configuration.
Are the the CS5 SDK projects working when you run them on Photoshop CS5?
You should have something like this in your PiPL resource.
#ifdef __PIMac__
          #if (defined(__i386__))
                    CodeMacIntel32 { "PluginMain" },
                    /* If your plugin uses Objective-C, Cocoa, for UI it should not be
                       unloaded, this flag is valid for 32 bit plug-ins only and
                 should not be used in any windows section */
                    // off for now as this plug-in has no Objective-C Cocoa {},
          #endif
          #if (defined(__x86_64__))
                    CodeMacIntel64 { "PluginMain" },
          #endif
#else
          #if defined(_WIN64)
                    CodeWin64X86 { "PluginMain" },
          #else
                    CodeWin32X86 { "PluginMain" },

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

Importing web project into Workshop 9.2

Hi,
I'm trying to import an existing web project into Workshop 9.2.1 from my Subversion source. Unfortunately Workshop doesn't recognize this project as a valid web project.
I imported the code project using 'File>Import>Existing Projects' into Workspace.
Unfortunately, I get the following errors:
- "The library module reference : beehive-netui-1.0 is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
- "The library module reference : jstl is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
How do I tell Workshop that this project is indeed a web project?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Derrek

Wow.... I figured out a workaround (aka Ugly Hack). It seems that Workshop doesn't properly import Portlet projects. Here's how I got around it:
1. Checkout the code from Subversion
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\
2. Move MyComponent to a temp directory
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\ --> d:\tmp\MyComponent
3. Open Workshop and create a new Portal project and PortalEAR project of the same name as the MyComponent projects
File>New myComponentPortal
4. Copy over the src and WebContent directories in the SVN directory with the files from tmp.
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\src
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src\WebContent -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\WebContent
5. Refresh Workshop and let the spooky voodoo happen. Viola! Now I've got a running portal project with a SVN connection.

Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
-Michael

First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

Error while importing MS project into cProject

Hi
I am getting the below error while importing MS project client file or XML file into cProjects.
dpr_shared087
Logon language becomes original language
Message no. DPR_SHARED087
Diagnosis
The logon language is defined as a possible text language in Customizing for Collaboration Projects under Specify Text Languages. Therefore, it is valid.

Hi
I am getting the below error while importing MS project into cProject.
Error occurred when importing from Microsoft Project
Message no. DPR_UI_BSP116
Diagnosis
When a project is imported from Microsoft Project, the system generates an XML string during internal processing. A project is then created in cProjects from this string.
The XML string contains errors because the values from Microsoft Project were transferred without verification.
Procedure for System Administration
Notify SAP or call the cProjects application with the "DebugMode=X" query string and carry out the import again.
The XML string that was generated temporarily is then validated against the cProjects XML schema. The error message from the XML parser is then displayed in the popup.
Kindly suggest, if the below steps for importing MS project is ok or not?
step 1: Create project in MS project with tasks.
step 2: Maintain maping fields of MSP in cProject configurat
step 3: Import MPP file into cProject using "Import" button.
step 4: I am getting the above error while importing the MPP file.

Working on a CS4 project in CS5.5 - Flash won't let me save FLA normally (ctrl+s)

I started working on a Flash project and I'll be moving it back and forth between two different computers. The project was originally started in Flash CS4. The other computer has Flash CS5.5 installed. So when in CS5.5 I save the fla as a CS4 version FLA.
I hit Save As... and then from the Save As Type pull-down menu I selected CS4 Fla document and I assumed that from then on I could just hit ctrl+s to save the project and it would maintain the CS4 version. But that isn't quite what's happening. Every time I hit ctrl+s a Flash Compatibility Warning pops up and tells me that I need to use Save As... and then Save As Type again to keep it a CS4 document.
So basically, from what I understand, when working on a CS4 project in CS5.5 - I can't use Save. I can only use Save as...
This is really annoying because I am accustomed to hitting ctrl+s pretty often.
And now EVERY TIME I wish to do a simple save, I need to hit ctrl+shift+s, then select CS4 from the Save As Type menu, then hit save, and then click YES when asked if to overwrite the previous file with the same name.
Is this a bug?

Flash will let me Embed the FLV but not let me use it for playback.

Can't open Premiere CS4 project in CS5

Having issues opening a premiere cs4 project in cs5. The machine I was using with Cs4 has died, so I'm trying to continue the project with CS5.
Whenever I open the project I get a message saying "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened, No sequence preview preset or file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I have the latest version of premiere cs5 installed, and quicktime. The footage I was using was from a Canon 7D.
Thank you!

How to import existing projects into JDeveloper 11g

I am trying to work with JDeveloper for my application and want to know whether it is possible to import existing projects into the work space in JDeveloper. I am currently working with eclipse IDE and this feature is available in it. How can I connect to clear case from JDeveloper? In eclipse it is very easy to connect to clear case with a plugin installed and check out, check in files from the source control. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The basic way to import code is to use the "New->Projects->Project from existing code" or "project from WAR" dialogs to create your project.
You then need to do some tweaking in the project properties->Content (and sub nodes such as resources and Web content).
And also set the correct JARs/Libraries in the project properties.
You can use the help->check for update to download the extension to JDeveloper that will let you integrate with Clearcase to do version management.
This how-to might help you with your migration:

Loading a CS4 project into CS3

My son has CS4 and I have Premiere CS3. How can I load one of his saved CS4 projects into CS3? There doesn't appear to be a "save as" feature in CS4, nor an export option.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in the middle of a big project and I don't want to upgrade midstream.

Thanks for the response, but it seems a little short-sighted on Adobe's part: even Microsoft allows you to save documents in previous versions so others can read them. Anything for an upgrade fee, I guess.
