Presets in CS5

I run Photoshop CS5 i windows 7. When I was in RAW I had a dropdown list of preset actions. These were not made by me but were just in the programme. The dropdown has disappeared. Can I get it back and if so how.

Have you recently upgraded or changed computer or user account? There are no Camera Raw presets by default, so the ones you had must have been added at some time. You need to add them again, but bear in mind that some of them may not work properly with Process 2010 (the default process in CR6) or Process 2012 (the default process in CR7).
On my Windows 7 computer, my presets are stored here:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings\

How to set a deafult preset in CS5

Hello,
I've recently upgraded to CS5 (previously I've been using CS4) and one thing really bothers me in Media Encoder CS5. Whenever I start it the conversion preset isn't the last one used as it was in CS4 but some built-in preset ( http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8792/picture1ui.jpg ). It may not be a big deal for some but that few extra mouse clicks (to set my custom preset) can really go a long way given the fact that I use Media Encoder a lot every day.
Is there any way to fix this? I've looked through the help documents, preferences etc. and nothing.
I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8
Thanks for your help.

Launching Premiere just to import a .mov and then to launch AME isn't really a solution to my problem.
I guess I have to keep using CS4 to convert my files :/

Can't assign PPD in Print dialog or preset (ID CS5, Mac OS X 10.6)

I've been having some trouble recently with ID CS5 resetting itself from time to time as if I'd trashed the Preferences: it loses all Recent files, presets, etc. Fortunately I'd exported presets from CS4 when I upgraded, but there are two problems with Print presets. (1) The order is scrambled when I load the exported file, and (2) it says something like "The PPD you want is unavailable. Use Generic PPD?" There are only two choices, Yes and Cancel, neither of which I really want. When I try to re-create a Print preset, or indeed when I try to start from scratch in the Print dialog, the PPD pop-up is greyed out for all of my printers; I can't select anything, and they're not already identified with the printers as they always used to be. The printers are nothing unusual: a Brother, an Epson, and a Hewlett-Packard, all with up-to-date drivers and PPDs in HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. I've tried copying the PPDs to Applications/Adobe Creative Suite CS5/Adobe InDesign CS5/Presets/PPDS (having created the last folder and used that capitalization, following advice in another thread), but with no result. Since the PPDs in the HD Library are .gz archives, I tried expanding them in the ID CS5 folder, but that hasn't helped either.
Any advice? I should emphasize that I am NOT trying to print to PostScript or PDF – I've followed those threads and get the message. I'm talking about PPDs for physical printers!
ID CS5 7.0.3, Mac OSX 10.6.5, Mac Pro 8-core 3GHz

Wow, thank you!!! I actually did search pretty thoroughly on the web as well as a moderate search these forums, but oddly enough, I somehow overlooked that thread. Funny, as it was only from several days ago.
My computer never had ADPDF9.PPD in the first place. Any clue why this is?
Many thanks,

AVCHD presets in CS5 where? + Settings...

Am I being dumb, or do I need to load them from somehwere I have no AVCHD preset in the sequence or general tab when I create a new project
( in sequence I have DV24, DV NTSC, DV pal, DVC pro 50HD, Mobile and devices)
Finding it hard to find resources on line about editing AVCHD, so heres what I've got...
I get frequent glitches and weirdness in CS5 (rendered sections look terribl, occasional crashes. SOmetimes a single layer of AVCHD wont play smoothly, sometimes several layers will play fine). I'm using mecury hardware playback with a GTX275. I shoot pal 1080p @ 25 and edit @ 720p

"**The trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 does not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of this product."
Yes I read this, thought it pertained to export only (which doesn't faze me).
If it impacts playback of AVCHD files using h.264 codec, I'm all ears - and it would be ironic, because since using the trial I've actually been thinking about other editing platforms!! (Whereas before it was a forgon conclusion that I'd upgrade to the master collection).

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.

Where do I go to download a preset for CS5 indesign?

hi, the printer wants this document exported in in design using the Times PDF 1.4 Preset which I am suppose to download to CS5 but I can't find where to do that?

All the default PDF presets are installed with InDesign (or the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud).
"Times PDF 1.4 Preset" is not a standard preset. If the printer is expecting you to use it, they must provide it.

PDF Default Presets Missing - CS5.5

I recently upgraded from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5. I uninstalled CS4 (with help/advice from Adobe's Tech. Support). Now my default PDF Print settings are missing. I only see the "Define" option.
Is there a way to re-load these presets?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response.
I uninstalled CS4 after installing CS5.5 (I later learned that it would have probably been best to just install CS5.5 [without ever installing CS4] and use my CS4 registration # to install CS5.5.. I called Adobe Tech. Support to get advice and direction and they are the ones that told me I should have not problem and thus I uninstalled CS4).
I didn't have any custom presets...so, I'm just looking to install/regain the standard PDF print presets that should be loaded each time I launch InDesign.

Animation preset crashing cs5.52

It seems that every time I use an ADOBE PREMIERE PRO animation preset, it's impossible to reopen the saved file once the program it has been closed.
Eventually the program itself crashes and asks to be relaunched.
Any known issues?
Thanks for help in advance,
Zydrius.

it was osx user problem. did some research, found answer on this here.
Created new user, all works fine.
Now i have new problem – how to solve user problem?:)
Z.

How can I save a preset in cs5.5 to be compatible with cs3 and above?

DOEs anyone know how to do this?

It can't be done. Animation presets are version specific and just liek project files not backward compatible.

CS6 Three-Way CC not importing setting from CS5.5 Timelines or from Saved Presets from CS.5.5

Hello,
I had created two presets for the CS5.5 Three Way Color Corrector that I use in almost every project for dealing with sun shadows and hightlights on talents's skin and they no longer work in CS6. I've tried loading the old project/timeline/sequence into Premiere CS6 but the TWCC just acts like it is at default settings. No changes to the video at all.
I also had saved my two TWCC settings as presets (from CS5.5) to the hard drive to I would not loose them. I tried reloading those presets into CS6 but same problem.. they do nothing now. I guess no one checked to see that the new CS6 TWCC was backwards compatible with CS5.5. Major problem when loading / converting cs5.5 timelines to update client's projects. Adobe, please take a look at this and fix as soon as you can. Thanks! Wayland

Hi Jim,
I've spent the better part of the day trying to redo what I had before and frankly the new TWCC sucks! The previous one was sooo much better. I can't even get close to what I had before. Many of the controls show up when you select 'show' but have little or no effect on the real video. I wish I could just delete the current one and replace it with the old one. If I still had CS5.5 I'd try that. Not happy at all. I'll be up all night trying to catch up due to time wasted on this stupid redesign of the TWCC as I have a ton of work due tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply and Best Wishes,
Wayland

Cannot Import CS5 Presets

I have CS5 and CS5.1 both on my system, however the import presets tool only shows CS3 and CS4 as an option. Bug Maybe?
MacPro Quad-Core
OS 10.6.8

Perhaps there is some confusion on my end as to how this process is going to take place. Originally I did not export anything from CS5.1. I simply tried using the migrate tool. Asumeing the process had gotten easier for people migrating to new versions of PS.
As a test I tried exporting all my presets from CS5.1 to their default locations. I tried the migrate tool again and still says the same thing.
As another test, I tried the import/export tool instead. I selected the import tab, then selected the folder to import., then choose all the items in the "source" list that I wanted to import and moved them to the "presets to import" pane and clicked Import Presets. I got a message that the presets were imported and that I needed to restart PS (really???) I restarted photoshop and nada...
I can import them one by one in the presets manager but that's no better than before.
This might be off-topic but why do some layer syles show the dark gray interface behind the style and some show a light gray? (see screenshot below?

Best Preset to in CS5 for AVCHD

I am experimenting with one of the newer Canon Vixia AVCHD cameras that is capable of shooting 1920 X 1080 video at 24 MB/sec. I believe that the resultant MTS files are natively captured in 60i format. I want to make a demo reel for a client for a product shoot using this camera to show the AVCHD quality and clairty. It seems natual that if I select the 1080P preset for this codec in CS5, I would be discarding half of the vertical resoluiton if the native format of the video is 60i as would be case when shooting SD video with a native format of 29.97 frames/sec. which reduces resolution. My guess is that the 60i is a field rate and not a frame rate.
The preset for either 1080P or 1080i are both set for a pixel ratio of square or 1, as opposed to retangular or .9, as with NTSC DV. It would appear that with a pixel aspect ratio of square when viewing on a 16:9 widescreen format monitor, this would produce an incorrect picture.
Could I get some clarication/confirmation regarding the two questions above? This would be the first time I have used this format of HD video and I want to be certain that what I produce is both true to standard and fully optimized with the native video that I for the demo real.
I will likely produce this video to be viewed as a mp4 file only rather than incorporatin it into a DVD.
Thanks indeed in advance for this assistance.

Ann,
Thanks for the info regarding BD.
This project, like many I have been asked to work on in the past will be primarily be presented in DVD format and for that I will likely use Adobe Link to Encore to automate the process of conversion as you mentioned. I have also been asked to make available a limited number of playable HD files of the project output which could be played on media hubs for home entertainment systems that are becoming so popular today. These files are basically kept on an NAS (Network Addressable Storage) which stores the video content and generally contains a streaming hub to distribute video to HD sets within the house or residence for viewing HD content.
In experimenting with the Blue Ray output preset in CS5 in an effort to use this format for those users who wish to stream this content, the H264 codec produces an output file with an M4V file extension which neither Power DVD would play/recognize. The streaming hub I use to test these outputs before distributing them to clients would not play it either. This is the first time that I have attempted to use the Blue Ray H264 file output as a standalone playable file without burning a BR disk. I was wondering if you are aware of a means of generating an MP4 compatible file output that can be played avoiding the M4V file extension. Can you offer any guidance to me for this objective?
Aside from attempting to generate a stand-alone playable BR file above, I noticed that when using any of the HDTV presets, there seem to be a noticeable quality improvement when I changed the video frame rate from 29.97 to 30 fps in the video properties in the export media output settings. I noticed this on my PC monitor only and there was a distinct improvement but this may not apply with the actual file output. Can you shed any light on why this would be so noticeable and if maybe I should use 30 fps for the output file setting as opposed to 29.97?
Again, much thanks for your support and time to offer any additional input.

Photoshop CS5 Clone Stamp Tool option-click just stopped working, why?

I've been using clone stamp tool option-click (healing brush option-click also) on Photoshop CS5 on my Mac 10.6.5 and it stopped working suddenly on Monday. Had just used it on Sunday. So, I've tried to isolate the problem.
1. Went to Apple store and my keyboard and mouse work fine on their inhouse systems running Photosochop CS5. Problem still exists on home system.
2. Adobe photoshop suggested I go back to Mac 10.6.3. I did and problem still exits.
3. Reset all presets in CS5. Problem still exists.
4. Spent several hours with Adobe Photoshop tech on phone -- he couldn't make it work remotely either using his keyboard. Reloaded Photoshop from scratch. Problem still exists.
Question:
Could this be a hardware problem? Graphic board problem?
Or is this a software problem aside from Mac OS and CS5?

Hi Joan
It sounds like you are not having fun at all : )
>I talked with a for fee Mac guru today who says I need to wipe slate clean and install operating system from scratch since I did not use time machine.
.....you ever notice how easy it is for a consultant to tell you what to do when they don't have to do it?
..... I wonder why the guru thought your system was gone if your new user account was working?
If your new user account is working.... why not use it? The system seems fine but something went screwy with the settings in your original account.
hopefully someone else will chime in here with more insight before you start from scratch.

Editing AVCHD files in Premiere CS5 – juddery movement

Hi all,
Just got a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder – it shoots 1080p @ 50fps (PAL). The format is “.mts”, with AVCHD compression.
Anyway, the issue I have is that when I import the files into Premiere CS5 to edit (Premiere says it supports the native files) – whenever the camera moving, the movement is very jerky, and also blurry during a pan. But when I play back the clip on the camcorder itself, or directly out of it via HDMI, it’s crystal clear with perfect movement.
Firstly – I am making a composition that matches the clip settings.
Secondly - my machine is very fast & can handle the files, so it’s not a processing issue.
And thirdly, they still judder when rendered (as H.264) – so it’s not just an “un-rendered media” issue.
Any Googling I’ve done seems to bring up similar issues with editing AVCHD files, but no solid solution yet. People are saying that I should transcode the files before importing into CS5 (but with no consensus on the format or software to use), and there is also a general consensus that AVCHD is a great playback format, but not the best for editing.
And what’s also odd is that the Panasonic website seems to offer the EXACT software that would seem to fix my issue, but when I click the link it’s not there!
See here: http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/avchd-home.asp
Scroll down to “Software” and it says “AVCHD to P2 DVCPRO HD Transcoder” – editing P2 files would be ideal, as I’ve done this before off a P2 camera - but when I click the link, it brings me to a page with all sorts of software & utilities, but I can’t even find the words “AVCHD” or “DVCPRO” it mentioned on that download page!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
KP.

Hi John - it doesn't have a 1080i setting.
Here is a link to a file I shot on this camera - I imported it into CS5, made a new sequence to match eth footage (i.e. dragged it onto the "New Item" icon) and re-encoded the AVCHD file to a H.264 "Vimeo HD" preset in CS5.
It's blurry, juddery, horrible footage during any sort of movement!
http://www.maxtronmedia.com/grove/panasonic.mp4
Yet, on the camera's own LCD (and on a TV through the camera's HDMI output), this footage looks immaculate. And yes, I tried capturing footage through the HDMI cable into my Matrox Mini and it's interlaced all over the place & pretty-much un-usable.
Suggestions?
I just printed an Amazon returns label, so I'm probably going to send the camera back... now I just need to hope the box is still in my green bin! :/
