Problem opening PrE 9 project created on Mac in Windows

Hi, I recently migrated from a Mac to Windows 7, and am having problems opening my project files on the Windows computer. I created several PrE9 projects on my Mac, but now I need to open some of these files on a PC with Windows 7. I get the error message "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements." I have successfully opened other CS5 project files (AI, PS) on both platforms. This is the first I've seen Adobe files open on Mac but not PC.
So, assuming this is going to be impossible, can I export from the Mac version of PrE to Windows? Is cross-platform collaboration impossible with PrE 9? That doesn't seem likely. What am I missing?
I have some title animations that I created on the Mac that I would really like to reuse in new Windows projects moving forward. I hope I don't have to recreate them from scratch!
Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, project files created on the Mac platform are not compatible with the Windows version of the product and vice versa.
You can't work on the same project file on both a Mac and a PC. Sorry.

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on?
Please review the following Adobe document on damaged project, if you have not already.

Problem opening PC files created on latest version of CS5 on Mac

Hi.
We´re a creative team in my company of four people, three mac users and one pc user. We recently all subscribed to the creative cloud so that we allways have the latest version of CS5, but there seems to be a problem with all files edited or created from the PC user.
We've (mac users, all three) tried to open the files either created or edited by the PC user and we're told that this was created by a newer version and is not possible. Trying to understand why this message occure when all three macs where updated with creative cloud after the PC user.

your title is confusing.
the pc user is using cc 2014 apps, correct?
the mac users are using cc 2014 apps, correct?
if so, there should be no problem.
if someone is using cs5 to try and open a file created by a cc 2014 app, you will see the problem you described.

Opening PC projects on a Mac

Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't find the answer.
I recently moved to a Mac based system and have several project files (.prproj) created on a PC. I now want to finish them on my Mac but am unable to open them. Is there a way to do this or must I find a PC running Premiere Pro to finish them off? I no longer have a PC version.
Both systems are/ were running Premiere Pro CS4.
Many thanks
Duncan

Duncan,
There are two ways to get a Project into PrPro. The first is to just Open the Project, and the second is to choose New Project, assign the matching Preset and then Import that other Project into the new one. Have you tried both methods?
Also note, there are many Transitions and Effects in the PC version, that do not exist in the Mac version. This THREAD will give you an idea of the differences.
Might be of zero help to you, but I've opened older Mac Projects into PrPro on the PC. Where there were Transitions that did not exist in my version, PrPro gave me a nice little dialog screen, telling me the exact spot that the Transition would be missing, and what it was named in the Mac Project. I just jotted down the location of each one, then navigated to those spots, when the Project Opened, and replaced the offending Transitions with Cross-Dissolves. Seems that there were three, with one being an Adobe Transition that had been removed, or maybe never in the PC version, and the other two were 3rd party Transitions, that I just did not have. Do not recall if I got any messages on Effects, but think that there was one missing. Do not recall the details now, but the Projects all Opened fine. I did not even have to Import them, like I recommended above. All else played perfectly.
Good luck, and let us know if the Import Project helps,
Hunt

Cannot Open New Projects Created in Premiere 8

My software is Premiere Elements 8
My system is a Dell Studio 17, i7-720QM, 6MB Cache, 8GB DDR3 SDRAM.
I ran into a third problem using PE8:
1. After I open a New Project in the PE8 Welcome Screen, sometimes the work area refuses to pop up on my screen; no Monitor, no Timeline, no Task pane. When I relaunch PE8 and try to open the New Project I just created I get a message "...cannot open projects created with Premiere Pro"
Has anyone experienced this? Do I simply reload the software? I recently downloaded the PE8.0.1 patch.
Thanks for any assistance.

I too had the same issue - along with an inability to (re)open video projects. I did a few things.
As long as I created the project using the DV - "Standard 48kHz" setting, it worked. Selecting "Widescreen 48kHz" allowed me to save the project but I was unable to open it, receiving the error you are getting about needing to use Pro.
The second issue is an inability to open an existing project. Premiere launches, a progress bar shows "loading....1%...100%" - then nothing happens. The workspace is empty and all menu options are disabled.
First - install 8.01, and reboot! The installer doesn't indicate that you need to. I continued to have the same problems until I rebooted.
Second - upgraded the ATI drivers from the Dell website. Apparently my 2-week old Dell XPS-16/i7 laptop came with drivers from 2009 - go figure.
To recap, 8.01 (+reboot) fixed the "need Pro to open" issue
Updating ATI driver from Dell website fixed the "can't open existing project" issue.
And while on the Dell website you'll notice lots of drivers that need updating. I did them all.

Problems Opening iMovie Project in Final Cut Pro

We created a 12 minute Video in iMovie for a client last year (basically starting Video editing as an experiment). However because they now want a multilingual DVD version we've decided to take the plunge and invest in FC Studio, thinking it will be able to open the project and allow us to add the additional audio tracks.
However, on opening the iMovie project in FCP, a lot of the clips along the timeline are missing, and the few clips that have transferred successfully seem to have spread themselves over 5 or 6 hours with huge gaps between them.
Are we doing something wrong? Final Cut Express seems to have a seamless upgrade path, does Final Cut Pro not have this ?
We don't really want to remake the whole video in FCP if there is a way of just importing the iMovie project.
iMac 20" G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Using latest FCP and iMovie

Thanks everyone for your help.
I've just finished the project. As Steve mentioned I didn't actually need to add the audio tracks in FCP, in fact after adding them to Sound Track Pro and adjusting the volume I then realised they needed to be exported from there and added as separate tracks to DVD Pro. (everything has a timeline)
I used FCP to superimpose a new sequence and a logo to the top corner, I'm getting more comfortable with the programs now.
I think I've got my head around what application does what now, and have established a better work flow.
Once again thanks for your help.
PS. I get the feeling FCP is a slightly older program than iMovie or any of the other applications. The lack of live scrolling and audio wave forms (in the timeline) gives me that impression. But the whole FC studio an amazing piece of software, don't think I'll ever look back.

Problem opening Logic projects

I've just done a fresh install and I'm no longer able to open projects with Logic Express 8. If I click File > Open... > Logic > (Example) > ... The project is greyed out, yet I can open them from Finder with no problems at all.
Does anybody know what may be causing this and how I can resolve it? It's not too worrying, but is quite a pain! Logic Express seems to become more inconvenient each time I do a fresh install of everything - I'm no longer able to access Nexus2 from Media > Library either...

If you open the project from Finder, then do a Save-As to a new project name, can you then open it in LE8? If this works, rename the Logic folder to something like LogicOld, then create a new Logic folder. Open each project from finder, then save as each project to a new project in the new Logic folder. When you are happy, delete the old folder (or back it up just in case). Does anyone else have a problem with this suggestion? It should work, don't you think?

Yellowish filter when opening iMovie projects created by the iMovie 4 or 5

I open the old iMovie project created by version 4 (maybe 5), in iMovieHD. There is a warning telling me that "The project was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?" I click OK and open and the clips/timeline come up, BUT - in the main window the clips look (and play) as if covered by a yellow filter. The projects are fairly recent (2005), created with the same camera I am using now - there was no problem at all last year. The only thing that has changed is that I have upgraded to iLife 6. Could anyon please help/explain what's going on?
Thank you very much!!!!!!

I had the same exact problem, only my "filter" color was purple! It was easily solved though.
This was the answer that worked for me...
"It was pointed out in another thread that this has something to do with the playback setting in iMovieHD.
Go to Preferences->Playback
and change from the "Highest" setting, which seems to be set by default, to one of the others ("High" works for me). The purple cast goes away."
Please post back and let us know if this worked for you.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Why can't iMovie 09 open a project created in an earlier version of iMovie?

I recently bought a new (intel) iMac with iMovie 09 to replace our old (PowerPC) iMac G5. I had created several movie projects in iMovie on the old iMac, but these are apparently unreadable on the new one. I presume this may have something to do with the switch to intel - but is there any way I can import the files?
The files contain slideshows of still photos with music and some video mixed in - and I'd like to update them with newer material, so importing the entire file as a quicktime movie or something like that would not really help...

YOU SAY - AppleMan1958: iMovie will import video from old projects, but not photos.
Perhaps - but how? I cannot open project from 08, have read many forum posts from others with the same goal ...that have been unable to import/open previous projects. Please share some tips (or secrets!) that can help.

Can i open a project created in FCPv4 in FCPv6.0.5 ?

I need to switch computers while working on the SAME project.
will i be able to open my project,
which i created in FCP version 4
on the new computer that has FCP version 6.0.5 ?
Thanks for your help!

It may move a little slow and I'm not sure how well Motion would run if you were planning on using that. Definitely in the realm of possibility for light editing (ie not feature length projects or anything with a lot of special effects).
On the plus side, if you decide to get a faster system, you could get a desktop and when you buy FCS, Apple allows you to install in on one desktop and one laptop, so you wouldn't have to buy it twice and you could use the laptop for the lighter stuff when you're on the go, and then transfer the project to the desktop when you're at home. That was a really long sentence.

Problem opening old projects

I just upgraded my Mac to Tiger and Final Cut Studio 5.1.2 from my 4.5. I keep trying to open a project in 4.5 and when I go to update the project to open it up. FCP Studio keeps crashing. I dont' want to lose my project and don't know what to do. Any help here?
Victor

One method would be to export the project as an XML from FCP 4.5, then import that into 5.1.2 - another method might be to open the project up first in 5.0, then save it (to a new name), then open that project in 5.1.2
If you don't have those versions around (always back up your app before upgrading), you could zip the project up and email it to me and I'll try and upgrade it...

Opening FCP project on another Mac.

I made a project using FCP 5.1. on my 24' intel iMac, i did a media manage and moved the project file and all the files to an external hard drive. Now im trying to open the project up on a Mac pro G5, which had FCP 5.0 but i updated it to 5.1, but when i attempt to open the project file i get a "General Error (41)" message. What is happening, why won't it open?

Try opening FCP first and then open up the project directly from FCP's OPEN menu.
