Opening large cs3 project in cs4

i am attempting to open cs3 project in cs4. i have opened and imported. with both i get an error message.
error.... audioRender/AudioRenderContentConstructor.opp-110
i cannot find this one on the net.
can anyone explain? any hints on how to import?
carl

I have no idea what sort of problem the error message refers to. It implies something funky with the audio content in the CS3 project
The single time I imported a half finished CS3 project into CS4:
I opened a new project in CS4
Right click in the project window> import> select the CS3 project file
CS3 project file appears in the Project window
I double clicked it and it opened right up. Finished the edit in CS4 & output to delivery format with Export> Media> to AME
Audio in this project was standard 48k stereo tracks.

You'd open it the same way you'd open any project file. Start the program, click the Open a Project... button on the Welcome Screen.

Can you open a cs3 document to cs4?

hi my school has cs4 and due to limited time i decided to work at home on Adobe flash profesional cs3. I was wondering if i could open a cs3 document to cs4.

Yes, a CS3 file can be opened, edited, and saved as a CS3 file using CS4. But not the other way around.

Opening InDesign CS3 documents in CS4

I am hoping someone from Adobe can help me with this question. Here is the scenario:
I work on the support team in a prepress environment where we get hundreds of client supplied InDesign files weekly. Some clients supply their files in InDesign CS3 and some supply the files in InDesign CS4. We have both applications.
From our experience, we have found that if we open a InDesign CS3 document using InDesign CS4, there is a potential for items to disappear in the document. I don't know what changed from 3 to 4 to cause this problem. This has happened to us more than one time and we have experienced money losses due to on press errors.
One would say, as we have, if the document is supplied in InDesign CS3, work on it in InDesign CS3. Easy enough, right?
Well, not really. If you have CS3 and CS4 both installed on your mac at the same time, simply double-clicking on the file will default to CS4 (since it is newer).
We have told our operators that they need to identify what version the file was created in; which is not the easiest thing either.
If you "get info" on the file, you do not get accurate information. It may say "CS4", even if it is "CS3", I think this is because your system is reading what the newest application that you have install is.
I have found that by dragging the file over the CS3 icon in the doc, it will attempt to open the file in CS3 and if it truly is a CS4 document, you will get plugin errors and the file won't open. This works, but my 38 mac operators are so used to just double-clicking a file to open it, they sometimes forget to do it my way, and thats when we get errors.
Is there a plugin available that would prompt you, when double -clicking on a file as to what version it is, or what version InDesign that you would like to open the file in?
What did Adobe change in InDesign CS4 that would cause items to disappear or change when working on CS3 documents in CS4?
Thank you in advance.

First, this is a user forum, not an official Adobe support site, so you aren't talking to Adobe employees for the most part.
Second, though it is subtle, there is a visible difference between the icons for file created in CS3 and CS4, but you do need to look.
There is (or perhaps it's now "was") a known issue with master items disappearing when placing one ID file into another in CS4. Be sure your copies are updated to the latest patch. Another reason to avoid opening CS3 files in CS4 is potential differences in text flow due to text engine differences which will affect how lines break.
If you want to train your people in a hurry, tell them the next time you have to re-run a job because they opened it in the wrong version you'll deduct the cost from their pay.

Opening a CS3 site in CS4?

Forgive me if this is a ridiculously stupid question, but I've looked at all the documentation and I can't find an answer.
I upgraded to CS4 Design Premium Suite from CS3 yesterday. This morning I went to work on my website and it does not automatically open when I start up CS4. I did not export the site settings from CS3 before I upgraded because--quite honestly--I didn't remember that I had to do that. I have a backup drive, but it has already backed up CS4 and erased CS3 from itself. I can't get the site settings there. Is there a way to open my CS3-built website in CS4 without the site settings, or should I just download everything from the remote server and go from there?

Hi there, well If your site is saved to your Desktop, you would go into Manage Site, then create a new site and you can lach onto it from there. It will then open in your Dreamweaver file pallett.

File will open in CS3 but not CS4?

I recieved a tif, 161.806"x138.889", cmyk at 72dpi. When I try to open the file in CS4 I get "end of file error".
I have to go back to CS3 and open it, save as psd then it will open in CS4. Any idea why?
thanks

There are some files written by CS3 with bad metadata that CS4 could not read.
Or it could be written or modified by a third party program, and CS3 is ignoring the corrupted part.
I fixed a few cases like that in Photoshop CS5.

Open a cs3 file in cs4: terribly incompatible and random crashes!

hello dear adobe team,
are you really serious? i mean firewoks was already buggy
when macromedia owned it. cs3 made it buggier than ever but cs4
shots a bullet in its head. we work here in a professional workflow
and apps have to work without issues or the work can't be done in
time. but firewoks is just plain and simply unusuable. in your
responsability to the professionals and clients you shouldn't have
realesed this version.
in addition the compatibility between cs3 and cs4 files is
horrible. font is not properly updated and objects have random
shifted positions. which means hours of work when you have
documents with 40+ frames.
no thanks adobe. this is just not professional.

I hope I can uninstall CS4 and go back to the unstable but
usable CS3. I can't believe how bad this version is.
Is it just me or are the large software companies getting too
bloated to do a good job on any one thing? I've worked in the
software industry as a designer for over 20 years and some things
just seem to be getting worse with each version. Is this an attempt
to get everyone to move to Photoshop?

Can I open a CS3 project in CS6 ?

Hi quick question,
Can I open a project file created with cs3 in cs6?

You can easily take the files from lower versions to a higher ones, but you can take the files from higher version to only one step down.

Problem opening a Premiere cs3 project in Premiere cs4

i recently did a clean install on a new machine with adobe premiere cs4
i attempted to open the project in adobe cs4 that i created in adobe cs 3
( i confirmed that the project isnt corrupted as the same project plays fine on another machine that has cs3 running)
Here is what happens When i open the project in cs4 it goes through the stages below and keeps looping and indexing.
*first pass: i first see adobe indexing the project and there is a media pending display in the program display and on the time line the thumbnails have not been created where the edits are.
* second pass: adobe finishes the indexing and then i see adobe looping again to conforming the video again, there is still a media pending display in the program display but this time the thumbnails have appeared on the timeline and i see the subclips in the project bin.
* Adobe stops indexing but there is still the media pending display on the program display so then i grab the timeline slider to scroll throught the project and then the indexing process starts all over again in this endless loop.
The project is located on a local drive and i turned off indexing on the drive.
I also tried deleting the rendered and preview files from the cs3 copied project , hoping that
CS4 would recreate everything. and still no luck
Any specific steps that i can do to trouble shoot this problem

When one Opens a CS3 Project in CS4, there is a lot of work that needs to be done. I'd Open the Project, and go get some coffee (decaf, so you will not loose your patience). Just let it do its thing with no input to the computer at all. Come back in 5 - 10 mins. and see if all have been completed. Be patient.
If you are actually getting a loop in the Conforming, Indexing and the rest - remember be patient - then close down and reboot. Try Importing the CS3 Project into a New Project in CS4 to see if things improve.
BTW did I mention being patient?
Good luck,
Hunt

Is it possible to save a project in cs4 and then open it in cs3

Hi, i would be greatful if anyone knows if there is a solution to this problem.
At home i use cs4 but in university they only have cs3, i know it is possible to open up a cs3 project in cs4 but unfortunatly if i do any further work on this at home in cs4 and save the project it no longer seems compatible with after effects cs3. So, is it possible to open a cs4 project in cs3?
Any help would be extreamly appreciated.
Ryan

No, it's not possible without using hacks. And Adobe can't support or endorse hacks
Bear in mind that not only there are new features in a new version which can't possibly be recreated by an older version - also, there are enhancements to existing features, which would make them render differently in the two versions.
That said, there are people posting such hacks, as Sébastien pointed out.

CS4 problem when importing older CS3 Project, mismatched edits

I am trying to import a CS3 project into CS4 and for some reason some of the edits don't match up. It's only in some parts, most of it is fine. I really want to be able to use the new Media Encoder so I can make a DVD from the CS3 project (I was unable to do this in CS3 + older Media Encoder because it would always crash on my long length project).
I also tried bypassing Premiere CS4 by using the Media Encoder CS4 standalone project import option and selected the CS3 project and then the sequences....I scrubbed through the player and the same edits are mismatched/incorrect.
If I go back to the project in the older CS3, all edits are fine...but of course I can't export a MPEG for DVD because CS3's exports crash.
What is the deal?
If it matters, I am using 720p P2 footage.

Well I'm interested in this thread because I'm having a similar problem importing CS2 projects - audio filters are screwy, especially EQ.
I can't finish this project in CS2 for several reasons.
I can't seem to convert every project CS2 project -- some work, some do not. Missing preview files, probably. I know that CS4 conversions hanging are a separate documented issue.
So I'm trying to import projects instead. Everything looks all right but everything does not SOUND all right.

Do CS3 Inside of CS4?

Is it possible to import a CS3 project into CS4 and have everything work correctly? I seem to be having problems with this.

William
First, understand that this isn't a computer-capability issue; your machine w/Vista is probably not the problem.
Second, I've had some theories such as memory leaks etc., but I no longer think so, since the system will sometimes crash even immediately after a reboot on the first render attempt. It is just some sort of a bug or two that they'll have to figure out.
Third, you have third-party plug-ins, but I don't have any at all and it still crashes, so the plug-ins might not be a problem. Besides, no where on Adobe's web site does it say plug-ins for prior versions might not work with CS4, at least it doesn't say it in a prominent place.
Fourth, I used to have the problem with CS3 and CS4 coresident, but now CS3 is no longer on the system and I still have some problems (but the Save now works, is it because CS3 is gone?).
Fifth, here's what I've been doing that so far gives me hope. I'll import a CS3 project (in your case it would be 2.0) into CS4 (I'm doing this with 8 projects), it may contain 15-50 sequences, but I won't attempt to do a Save. (Originally I reasoned that a Save would save the CS3 project as a CS4, but that reasoning turned out to be wrong.) Then I perform a Render Effects or Render Entire on each sequence. What happens is that invariably a render attempt will fail. Sometimes there is a crash that gets sent back to Adobe, or sometimes the render just hangs up with CS4 not responding and Windows closes it. In either case, I'll reload CS4 and attempt to render the very same sequence, and lo and behold, sometimes it is successful! So I've been render-crash, render-crash, render-save (these saves work), render-save, render-crash, render-save, render-crash, and so on, until all the sequences have been rendered. Very very time consuming, but so far it appears that once the sequences have been rendered, the rest of CS4 can be used as normal.
Sixth, actually I've been focusing on rendering for quite awhile and haven't done much editing to absolutely verify this resolves the issue, but some basic stuff seems to work.
Hope this helps.

Can't open 1.0 projects in CS3 (no subtitles)

After working with Encore 1.0 for forever and a day, I finally got PPro CS3 with its accompanying Encore (running on Windows XP SP2). But I cannot open any Encore 1.0 projects. Trying to open my current project, I get this complaint:
>Encore cannot open Encore 1.0 projects. Open and save the project in Encore 2.0 or earlier, then try again.
A search turned up
this Knowledge Base article. It claims the reason is subtitles, but I have no subtitles in this project (in fact, I have only used subtitles once ever, and this was definitely not that project).
As a test, I tried opening various older project files. In a couple instances Encore CS3 gave the same error as above, but most of the time it simply crashed, with the following "details":
>AppName: adobe encore.exe AppVer: 3.0.0.268 ModName: sonicauthorcore.dll
ModVer: 3.0.0.268 Offset: 004e4e20
The message or crash would not occur immediately, but after the several-second process of "preparing transcode settings", etc. that occurs in a small window with a progress bar, if you know what I'm talking about. So it seems like it doesn't like something about the assets it is processing, but I don't know what, because all these projects are different, and most were started from scratch as fresh projects, with video and menus created independently from other projects (some menus created within Encore 1.0, others using Photoshop CS2; some video streams brought in as AVI, others as MPEG2-DVD).
Ironically, if I try to open the only project I have that actually
does have subtitles, Encore CS3 is the most civil, and in theory it might even successfully open the project. It says:
>This project contains subtitles in an older format. Opening the project will convert the subtitles to the new format, but the subtitles will no longer be compatible with the version of the software used the create them. Would you like to continue opening the project and perform this conversion?
I chose not to "continue" until I know more about why Encore is crashing, because it might convert the subtitles and then crash! But one unique thing about that project (besides the existence of subtitles) is that the solitary video stream is a VOB file from a DVD previously burned, rather than the more typical MPEG2 or AVI. I have no idea if any of this information matters, but I'm telling you everything I know.
Does anyone know what might be causing the problem, particularly with non-subtitled projects, and/or a solution or workaround? I own no version in between 1.0 and CS3, so I can't save it 1.5 or 2.0, which is the only other action suggested by the KB article besides removing my non-existent subtitles...

In followup:
This is a distillation of the process for converting a Project from a previous version of Encore to a newer version remotely.
The problem: a user had Encore 1.0 and needed to get the Project into CS4. They did not have any intermediate version of Encore. The Encore 1.0 Project was shipped to me, to convert it in Encore 2.0, so that CS4 could deal with it. Because the computers were a few thousand miles apart, we had to do more than just Open the Project in Encore 2.0. This would be all that would be required if the versions were on the same machine, or over a LAN and just in different offices.
The entire folder structure is required. The Project will be in a folder (Ill call this the Mother Folder) with the .NCOR file, and then a series of Child Folders below in the hierarchy. The exact names and the exact folder hierarchy is extremely important, as is the placement of some of the necessary files. The name of the .NCOR and the first level of Child Folders must match exactly. The structure is the one we see with each Encore Project:
Mother Folder with .NCOR
Child Folder Level One (same exact name as .NCOR with the
two files:
i ProjectPrefs2.xml &
i ProjectWorkspace.xml
Child Folder Level Two Cache with file mlf.cache.v7"
Child Folder Level Two Sources
Child Folder Level Three Menus with Menu .PSD files
In this case, the folder structure, with Menus and all files, except Video and Audio Assets were shipped to me. All Transcode files, etc. were also omitted.
Once the .NCOR (older version) has been Opened in the later version, a Save_As will create a new Project with folder/file structure. This entire structure needs to be in place on the machine with the newer version to allow it to be Opened. In my case, this complete structure was archived in WinRAR as a .RAR file and shipped out.
All of this is probably very obvious to most others. Again, if one is working on the same machine, or a LAN connected set of machines, it is a lot easier. Im just listing the steps and requirements, should Encore Projects be Opened on remote machines, whether for testing or for conversion.
[I just hope that the formatting of this doesn't get "pear-shaped," when posted]

In Premiere CS5, I opened an old project I had edited using Premiere CS3 and now its all pixelated!

Hi everyone. I just got Premiere Pro CS5 and started the program and opened up an old project I had edited using Premiere Pro CS3. Premiere Pro CS5 said it had to convert the project for editing in CS5. I clicked "okay" and the project opened up in CS5. Now, when I play the project on the timeline, everything has some pixelation! The footage was nice and sharp without any artifacts when I edited in Premiere Pro CS3. How do I get rid of this pixelation in CS5 so the footage looks like it is supposed to?! Thanks.

Well, there's really no rationale for the project conversion to somehow drastically alter the appearance of footage, particularly something like DVCPROHD. Adobe changed the way its software handles pixel aspect ratios between CS3 and CS4, but that affects SD footage, not HD footage. There may be some degree of weirdness since in CS3, you had a project that was set to a specific format/frame rate/codec/whatever, whereas in CS4 and later the project is just a container for sequences of any and all types.
Instead of opening the original project and going through the conversion, try creating a new project and importing the old project as if it were any other media file. Premiere will reconstruct the old project within the new one; this probably is not going to have any change, but it's worth a shot.
Can you describe (or better, show) the pixelation you're referring to? It's hard to visualize without, well, a visual, and that might help better pinpoint the issue. Also, is the pixelation only during playback, or is while the clip is paused in the sequence, as well?

Is there anyone with CS4 that could convert my CS5 idml file to inx so I can open in CS3?

Is there anyone with CS4 that could convert my CS5 idml file to inx so I can open in CS3? My school upgraded to CS5 and now I can't work on documents on my own computer at home. I want to work on a particular project at home but need it converted I do not own CS4 or know of anyone with it to help me. The file is fairly simply layout and shouldn't have special features that would effect the down grade. If you can help please reply or email me at [email protected]
Thanks
