Presets in CS3

So I've used Premiere a lot in the passed but I was using an older version and only just recently got up to CS3 and am still trying to figure out all the changes.  I'm doing a cartoon in Flash but I'm using Premiere to cut all the scenes together and I'm having trouble getting the project settings that I need.  My video is 1280 x 720 and 24fps.  But there is no preset that matches this.  All the presets for that frame size have the wrong frame rate and vice versa.  In the older version that I'm more used to I was able to make up my own project settings and even edit them once the project was started.  As far as I can tell in CS3 though that's not an option and I'm stuck with the presets or nothing.  I find it very hard to believe though that I'm right about that.
Does anybody know how I can get the settings I need?  There has to be a way right?
thanks in advance

I find that the term "Desktop," is not initially intuitive. However, once you know it, well you have it. It's the first time that one encounters it that it seems a bit odd.
Glad that you got it sorted. Now, use "Desktop" in a sentence three times today...
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can CS4 import printing presets from CS3?

    I found the preset folder in the CS3 folder but nothing in there were caller printer presets.  I see presets for workspace, swatches, and many other things but not printing.  We just upgraded here and I have about 20-30 presets that I REALLY do not want to have to recreate from scratch again!

    Yes
    You open up CS3
    File>Print Presets
    Select the Preset and SAVE
    Open up CS4
    File>Print Presets
    Select Load

  • Importing RAW presets from cs3 into LR

    is there a way to get my saved raw presets from photoshop cs3 into the lightroom developer user presets?

    >Doing this in LR (which I purchased to make my life easier) is much slower and more cumbersome to use.
    How are you doing the equivalent in LR?
    Based on your description, it seems that metadata presets would do this. One difference is that presets don't include keywords, so you would also have to create some keyword sets. In LR, assigning two sets of info (the preset and the corresponding keyword set) would be required, but it might be a workable method for you in LR to avoid using Bridge.

  • Print presets from CS3 to CS4

    Is it possible to install the CS3 print presets on CS4 so I don't have to recreate them?   Anyone know where they would be?  I'm on Windows Vista.  I don't see them in the Presets folder (hm).
    Thanks, Phyllis

    You have to go into CS3 and open the preset "define" dialog. Select the ones you want, then save to an external file. In the same dialog in CS4 pick "load" and find your saved file.

  • Can't match footage with (custom) Preset in CS3

    I've captured footage from my Hi8 Sony Camera using Honestech VHS to DVD device.
    Setting were to capture in SVCD. I chose this to optimize file size and this should accommodate the 420 lines from the Hi8.
    Next I create a new project but no Presets are offered to match this format.
    If I import the footage with having chosen any preset then in the project panel the imported footage shows as the following:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 664.8 MB
    Image Size: 480 x 576
    Pixel Depth: 480
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:33:22:24
    Average Data Rate: 339 KB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.6
    There is no preset for this and if I choose Desktop ion Custom Setting and enter the 480 x 576 there is no choice for the 1.6 PAR. The result is the video is truncated in the horizontal.
    The alternative seem to be to capture in DVD format giving the following result:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 4.1 GB
    Image Size: 720 x 576
    Pixel Depth: 720
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 01:09:02:08
    Average Data Rate: 1.0 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.066
    However this gives a much larger and unneccesary file size.
    Can anyone help out here?

    I do not think you will get a settings that will match SVCD its rather obselete.
    You have to capture in DVD mpeg 720x576, this is quite common.
    You will have to get a larger disk if you cannot store this file.
    4 gig is not large these days.

  • Setting Euroscale Uncoated v2 as CMYK preset in CS3

    Hi,
    As a preset, in colour settings, i want my CMYK profile to be Euroscale Uncoated v2, but it doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas of how to get it?

    I'm responding to my own post. Don't worry. I worked it out - finally! for those interested, on a mac, (i don't know on a pc), in finder, go to Mac HD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Profiles in which you'll find 2 files, EuroscaleCoated.icc and EuroscaleUncoated.icc. Copy these two files and in the same folder, you'll find another folder - Recomended - copy the files into here.

  • Cannot load or create new adobe pdf presets in CS3

    Keep getting this message. "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."

    This has been reported before, and there are a couple of possible solutions, as I recall.<br /><br />One, if I remember correctly is to, first make sure the folder permissions are correct, then to check and be sure the correct folder actually exists. There were a number of locations created by different versions of the suite, and I can't tell for sure which is which on my system, which isn't a lot of help.<br /><br />I have "Settings" folders at "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\adobe pdf", "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF" and under my user profile,"Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF", which is where the test settings I just created ended up. You should right-click on any settings folder you find and check the properties > Security tab and make sure everyone has full permission. If you don't see a "Settings folder in one of these locations, try creating it.<br /><br />I also vaguely remember something about a registry edit, but I have no idea what that was so you'll need to do a search in the forum.<br /><br />Peter

  • Finding AI CS presets to use in AI CS3

    Last year I upgraded from CS to CS3 on my G5. I left both versions installed, and could use CS brush and symbol presets in CS3, which I did from time to time since not all the brush strokes and symbols from CS were continued in CS3. When the G5 died an unpleasant death, I replaced it with an iMac, and only installed CS3 on it. Because of the situation when the G5 died, I didn't have the opportunity to copy the old presets to the new computer. My techie guy does not recommend that I re-install CS on the iMac just to get the presets, and if they are accessible from the installation disk, I don't know how to get them. Does anyone have any suggestions for where or how to find those AI CS presets? Thanks very much.

  • CS3 Presets to CS5?

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to import presets from Media Encoder CS3 to CS5?

    Hi John,
    I should have put a caveat on my original message - presets from older versions of AME will work only if the internal data structure of the format in question hasn't changed.  That's the short way of saying that in every version of AME there's a risk that our software developers will need to change how a format represents its settings internally, and the data in presets from earlier versions won't match up.
    That's my fault for not noting that requirement, and I apologize.
    In the case of QuickTime presets specifically, this is very true. In my simple tests, QuickTime presets from CS3 will not open in CS5.  (Your original post did not specify a format; I didn't do a very good job with my initial tests before replying to your message.)  Here's why:
    Because Premiere Pro and After Effects are now 64-bit applications, and there is no 64-bit version of QuickTime available, the Adobe CS5 applications needed a new method to write QuickTime files.  AME, After Effects, and Premiere Pro now handle all of the QuickTime settings internally, instead of calling on the QuickTime API as was done in CS4 and earlier versions.  Then they call a 32-bit service called Adobe QT 32 Server, which talks to QuickTime and writes the file.
    The fallout of the changes in CS5 have impacted you in two different ways.
    1. The data structure for QuickTime presets is now very, very different.  Presets from earlier versions won't work in CS5.
    2. The appearance and arrangement of the settings for QuickTime is different.  You have noticed this.
    Let's tackle some of the specific changes you've mentioned about the available QuickTime options:
    > For example, the Quicktime DVCPRO-NTSC settings availble in CS3 is not available in CS5.
    Correct, this specific codec doesn't exist in CS5.  Use instead the DV25 NTSC or DV50 NTSC codec.  Probably DV25, unless you have a specific need for DV50.
    > In addition, a number of Options (field orders, etc) are greyed out in AME CS5
    Some codecs, including the DV formats, are implicit to a format that defines certain parameters of the video.  For example, DV NTSC is ALWAYS 720x480, 0.9 or 1.21 PAR, 29.97fps, Lower Field First.  When a codec pre-defines parameters, AME CS5 doesn't allow you to change them.  If you change the codec to one that allows more control, for example None or PNG, you will see these options become available again.
    (As a comparison, choose the DVCPRO HD 1080i60 codec, and you'll see that it locks the parameters to 1280x1080, 1.5 PAR, 29.97fps, Upper Filed First.)
    Earlier versions of AME did not impose this type of restriction for QuickTime because it was using the QuickTime API, and that dictated what settings were possible.  QuickTime is actually kind of lazy about complying with format restrictions.  You could stuff just about any frame rate/frame size/field order/etc. of video into most QuickTime codecs and it would not only accept it, but QuickTime Player could play it back.  But you'd get unpredictable results if you tried to use that QuickTime file with a system that ahderes to strict format compliance.
    =====
    Now, QuickTime aside, I assure you that my previous post wasn't in error.  Some presets from CS3 will work in CS5.  I've tested the MPEG2, H.264, and FLV formats on Windows and verified that they work.  I did see some problems; for example the frame rate for H.264 and FLV wasn't correct when the preset was loaded into CS5.  So if you do transfer a preset from earlier versions to CS5, you should inspect the preset after loading to make sure that it is correct.
    Note that when you save a preset, you are not given the option to choose where the preset is saved.  The file is always saved in the default location.
    CS3: <drive>\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\MediaIO\Presets
    CS5: <drive>\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\5.0
    You can copy the preset files to a different location if you want, but simply copying them into the folder for CS5 won't automatically load them into AME CS5.  You need to use the Import Preset function inside AME to add them to your list of presets.
    Also, do not rename the .vpr files from CS3 to .epr.  I don't understand why, but this causes them to fail to load.  But because CS5 only looks for .epr files in the Import dialog, you need to use a little trickery to make it find them.
    Here are the steps to take:
    In AME CS5, select the format you are going to add the preset to.  For example, if you want to add a preset for FLV, don't leave the Format selection on MPEG2.  Change it to FLV or you'll get an error.
    Click the Import Preset button (the folder icon).
    Navigate to the folder where the preset is located.
    In the File Name field, type the name of the preset file, including the .vpr extension.  You could also copy/paste the name, or usually if you just start typing the name then Windows will display a drop-down menu with the list of file names in that folder that match what you've typed.  For example, if the preset file name is "FLV 640x480 30fps.vpr", if you type "FLV 6", you should see a list of files that start with that name.  Click on the file name to load the whole string into the File Name field.
    Click Open.
    The preset will be loaded, and you'll be shown a dialog asking you to name it.  Yes, this is a little bit redundant.
    =====
    I hope that clears up the situation for you.  Please reply with further questions if not.
    To wrap this all up, I need to give you a caveat that is bigger than the one before: the workflow of transferring presets between versions of AME was not explicitly designed to work.
    That is to say that when AME was designed, this workflow was either not considered, or wasn't included due to time or budget constraints.  (I couldn't tell you which since I wasn't working on the AME project when those decisions were made.)  Keep in mind what I posted above about how data structures can change from version to version; that means the ability to transfer presets from version to version would require specific engineering and testing work; it's not a given.
    One reason why the work may not have been considered is that not enough people asked for it.  That's where you can help us.  If this is something you'd like to see in a future release, I encourage you to fill out a feature request for it.
    And all of the above said, Presets is one area of AME that we know needs to be improved, and we are working on improvements for future releases.  But don't let that stop you from filing feature requests if you have ideas about how you'd like AME to work, or for any other change you'd like to see in an Adobe product.

  • InDesign CS3 Print Presets

    Have a print preset that creates a PDF w/thumbnails, used successfully in CS2, which put the PDF file on the desktop. Loaded all our print presets into CS3, looks like file was created, but cannot for the life of me figure out where the file went! Looked everywhere in Finder ... any ideas?
    (Would love to export to PDF w/thumbnails, but I don't see a way to do that?)

    No, that setting only puts the thumbnails in the side bar.
    I'd love to see your script that included them as an extra page. Can you share? Oh, wait, I think I misunderstood, You mean you want to print what amounts to a contact sheet of PDF pages.
    Your script may have some code that is CS2 specific (thought I'd expect it throw an error) which could be corrected by one of the folks who write scripts.
    Another possibility is doing it out of bridge, but I don't know what that would take, either.

  • Photoshop CS3 Taking a Long Time to Open

    This is a message for anyone whose Photoshop CS3 is taking a really, really long time (2 or 3 minutes) to load, and gets stuck on reading the Preferences.
    YES, I DID try trashing my Preference file, and letting Photoshop rebuild it. But that did not work. It still got hung up on loading Photoshop.
    What I found was that, somehow (and I'm still not sure how), I had many, many, many duplicate Tool Presets for all of my tools. They were duplicates of the default Tool Presets. In some cases, there were 50 or 60 duplicate Tool Presets for certain tools (i.e. Crop 8x10).
    I used the Preset Manager to DELETE all of the duplicate Tool Presets. I did not just trash all the presets, because I wasn't sure which ones were custom presets that I had set up, and I wasn't sure if I had saved all my custom ones.
    After deleting all of the duplicate Tool Presets, Photoshop CS3 now takes SECONDS to open. It's opens very quickly.
    Hope this helps someone out there.

  • Procedure to upgrade to CS4 from CS3 without retaining CS3

    I am running 10.5.5 on a MacBook Pro. I now have Photoshop CS3 on the MBP. My Photoshop CS4 upgrade DVD just showed up in the mail, and I can't wait to use it.
    I would like to install CS4, retain the preferences and presets from CS3 (Photoshop, Bridge, Camera Raw), and get rid of CS3 from my hard drive.
    I was unable to find directions on the DVD, Adobe's site, or the forum. I found references to the importance of uninstalling CS3 first before installing CS4 (installing CS4 first and then uninstalling CS3 supposedly would remove some support files required by CS4 and require the reinstallation of CS4).
    But if I were to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4, how would the CS4 installer be able to find evidence of CS3 on my MBP, which I presume would be required for the upgrade to work? And, how would I be able to retain my preferences and presets from the Photoshop, Bridge, and Camera Raw in CS3?
    I realize from reading some of the posts here that some people prefer to have both CS3 and CS4 on their computers, and others want to only have CS4. I am in the latter camp.
    Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate any advice or suggestions.

    I can't edit that but I will report what happen.
    It now appears I either logged in as a different user , did an archival reinstall of my system before install the CS programs or the installer will only allow you a one time install and you have either install everything or you have to install all the CS3 programs you intend with that one install.
    That would mean I have uninstall the one of the programs of CS3 I have installed and reinstall that and photoshop CS3 at the same time.
    Though CS4 install is much more robust there should be a way to install the last version as well. Eventually there will be no disk or even a download but there has to be a formula and reasonable policy for uses who need to use the current as well as the older version of Adobe software.
    However no matter how or why this eventually manifest itself it does and I think it should not.

  • Export presets - please help!

    Hi everyone,
    In Premiere CS3 (MAC) I had a list of presets under Adobe Media Encoder,such as NTSC source to download 1024 and HDTV 1080p 24 etc.
    These were perfect for the sort of things I was doing, but in CS4 they aren't there any more. There is no Adobe Media Encoder option under export, just media, and I've tried recreating the settings in there, but I get jumpy audio etc.
    Is there a way to import these presets from CS3? If so where are the presets saved?
    Please help!!
    Chris

    In fact, ignore me, I realised if you choose H.264 the presets appear underneath..

    Thanks for the response. Photomerge.jsx, and stack scripts only are in the scripts folder. However, I had to put them in there from cs3. Now I can get the photomerge window to open (still the cs3 version) but after I select the photos and hit ok nothing happens. I have been comparing the presets in cs3 to see what I am missing in cs4, but I cant find the missing files.
