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" },

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.

Installer Problems - PS CS4 Extended into CS5 Extended

A couple of weeks after I upgraded to CS4 Extended, CS5 Extended was released, and Adobe was nice enough to 'grandfather' me into an upgrade.
However, when I install, it doesn't work. It asks for 'eligible' upgrade products, and while CS4 is on the list, CS4 Extended is NOT...????
So am I out of luck? Am I doing something wrong here? Why would someone be eligible to upgrade from CS4 to CS5 Extended, but not from CS4 extended to CS5 Extended.
This is one of these frustrations that really gets you...because I know that in my neighborhood there are probably already ten people using CS5 Extended, and the only reason they can is that they're unethical and using a cracked version.
How do I get around this? I'm running in 'trial' now
JT

If it asks just for "Photoshop CS4", then according to Adobe's own linguistics this would cover both versions. in that case inputting the serial would be the only differentiation criteria. If it doesn't work, then call support. You may have been given a wrong serial and only they can handle this. This is a user forum, after all...

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.

Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine. When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else. All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK. The graphics have disappeared. How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt? .

Can you please give your system specs?
In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

Porting CS4 Plugin to CS5

Hello Guys,
i'm trying to port a Plugin from CS4 to CS5 but after a lot of hard work i receive a last error that i cannot trace. The Event-Element cause a strange error:
File /Adobe InDesign Products SDK/build/mac/prj/../../../source/sdksamples/JPEGExport.server/JPEGExport.fr; Line 141 # Error: Expression must be numeric.
File /Adobe InDesign Products SDK/build/mac/prj/../../../source/sdksamples/JPEGExport.server/JPEGExport.fr; Line 152 # Error: Expected '}'.
all I do is defining an Event-Element to supply a scripting method to the IDS scripting DOM:

                Event{ kJPEGExportEventScriptElement }
        Provider
            kAssetExportScriptProviderBoss,
                Object{ kApplicationObjectScriptElement },
                Event{ kAssetExportEventScriptElement }
when i remove both Event-elements the plugin compiles fine, so maybe someone could point me to the right direction?
Btw, the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products Programming Guide describes the following structure for the Event-element:
Event // See Note 1
kQuitEventScriptElement, // See Note 2
e_Quit, // See Note 3
"quit", // See Note 4
"Quit the application", // See Note 5
VoidType, // See Note 6
{ // See Note 7
en_SaveOptions, // See Note 8
"saving", // See Note 9
"Whether to save changes before closing open documents", // See Note 10
EnumDefaultType( kSaveOptionsEnumScriptElement, en_No ), // See Note 11
kOptional, // See Note 12
// See Note 13
and i think this is exactly what i am using in my code, isn't it?
Thanks in advance!

You were right, seems to be possible to use "Method" instead of "Event". But unfortunately another error occurs:
File /Adobe InDesign Products SDK/build/mac/prj/../../../source/sdksamples/JPEGExport.server/JPEGExport.fr; Line 143 # Error: Expected string.
the strange thing is, c_Param1 is a string containing "Par1". Maybe the parameters have changed for the Method-Element?

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.

Porting Illustrator CS plugin into CS2

It is said in a pdf that cs2 plugins wil run on cs3. Will CS plugins run on CS2? Will it be compatible? I m using MAC OS X..

Not easily. Plugins on CS2 and newer are Mach-O binaries, CS and older are PEF binaries. XCode can only generate Mach-O binaries, Codewarrior can generate either IIRC.
It is possible to do a PEF wrapper on a Mach-O library, but the learning curve on this is rather steep.

Using XMP Lib in a plugin for CS5.0 Windows

Hello

Hi Pontus.
You're probably mixing static libraries with shared.

How to run a 32-bit plugin on 64-bit Mac in PS CS5?

Hi...
I have developed an automation plugin for PS CS 3,4 & 5 using CS4 SDK in 32-bit Mac processor.
Problem with this is that the plugin works for CS5 in 32-bit mode, but the plugin doesn't load when tried with CS5 on 64-bit mode. I made changes in the PiPL, but still no change. I referred the steps mentioned in the documentation for creating a 64-bit plugin, but in the "Step 3: Fix entry point and PiPL", it says that the entry point needs to be changed. But, the entry point mentioned is different from the Automation plugin entry-point. Can you please suggest a way to overcome this problem?
Thanks!

How to run 32-bit PS plugin on CS5 in 64-bit Mac processor?

Hi...
I have developed an automation plugin for PS CS 3,4 & 5 using CS4 SDK in 32-bit Mac processor. I wanted to have a single build for all the three versions. I am unable to run my plugin on CS3, it loads, but no dialog comes up on clicking the menu item. I have used ADM suites for the dialog. I am unable to spot a solution, please guide me...
Also, another problem with this is that the plugin works for CS5 in 32-bit mode, but the plugin doesn't load when tried with CS5 on 64-bit mode. I made changes in the PiPL, but still no change.

Thanks!

Update on the plugin compatibility with CS3.. It looked like an ADM compatibility issue.. I changed some suites versions.. Now, I am able to display the dialog, but now I have spotted a bigger problem.. that is, that the plugin aborts when it encounters an "sSPBasic->AcquireSuite" statement. I can't see why.. The error code is 1394689636 which points to "S!FD", i.e., Suite not found.. How can this be? Please guide... Its urgent..
Thanks..!

Import menu from CS4 into CS5 ?

Hi
I made a project and saved in CS4. In that project I made a menu and saved as a set in the library.
Now I opened the project in CS5 but cannot find the menu set I made in CS4.
How can I import the menu set from CS4 into CS5?
Thanks

Hi,
Menu saved location is different for CS4 and CS5.
You can save the menu as menu file or menu template from
Menu -> Save menu as file or save menu as template.
Or
you can copy you menu set from CS4 to CS5.
Below is the location where menu set saved -
Win -
C:\Users\<userName>\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\4.0\Library\<setName>\<FileName>
copy this file to
C:\Users\<userName>\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\5.0\Library\<setName>\<FileName>
Mac
/Users/<UserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Encore/4.0/Library/<setName>/<FileName>
copy this file to

How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????

TS3850 I am using a Sony HBR -VLU camera to import into Final Cut 10. Plugging into an I MAc that doesn't have a firewire port. The camera is not being recognized by the computer. The camera is set to play tape too. Why is camera not recognized?

I am trying to import from the camera into an I-MAC. I'm told the I-mac does not have the firewire port, but has thunderbolt. Is the only way to get video from the camera via a firewire port? Is someone giving me bad information as to the firewire port not being on the I-MAC? The camera is not being recognized. Thanks in advance.

Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.
