Project in Premiere CS5 to Premiere CS6 Conversion

Hello, I have some old projects I made using a trial version of adobe premiere CS5 some time ago. now I upgraded for the trial version of CS6 to edit those videos, but I can't convert the projects. They load but are all empty, 0:00:00 time adn no images. I was thiking about purchasing the CS6 version, but if i can't edit those videos there's no use. Does anybody knows what is happening?
Kind Regards,
Daisy.

I have no problen opening CS5 projects. The info box will want you to save a converted project. Make sure you have all the media available and you might check that CS5 opens the project correctly before saving that and opening the project file in open as CS6.( have both CS5 and CS6 installed in the applications) If all works fine then you can uninstall CS5. Good Luck

Moving project from premiere cs6 into final cut

hi, i have a project running in premiere cs6 for a tv series and i work in pc. My supervisor, want to see my project in his mac, working with final cut. My problem is, that he needs all the project itself. with the sequences, the nests, the cuts and the effects that i 've used so he can make changes if needed.. Is there any way to export this project somehow so i can transfer it and work in final cut?
Thanks

Your boss is an arse and should know better than make you jump thru' these hoops. My guess is he is not an editor and probably a control freak.
Give him an XML and an EDL plus a drive full of source material... then ask him what else he needs.
Good time for him and you to define job responsibilties.

Font issue. Project created in CS5 converted to CS6

After I open a project I created with cs5 in cs6 the fonts are changed and the position is different.
Same computer?
I also noticed the title location on the title editor does not match the title location on the preview monitor. It shows in the center on the title edit but is to the very far right on the preview monitor.
Can I see what fonts were changed?
Thanks!!

One thing. I do believe that windows was changed from XP to Windows 7. But I thought I had reinstalled all the same fonts. Can I see what the original fonts were in the old CS 5 project?

I believe that was the OPs line of thinking here. His question is, how can he find out what font it used to be? I believe the only way to find out what font is used is to open the project and look, but that font would have to be installed for that to work. If it isn't, and you don't remember, you're hosed.

Overall video lightening in Premiere CS6 when working with dark complexions

Presently working on a project in Premiere CS6 shot "live to tape" that was originally planned as "should not" need any post production work. But out of our control and literally in the last few minutes before the show started, the lighting was changed without consulting me, and there was no time to stop the start of the production. This last minute change obviously left a very unpleasing dark effect on the video and especially the podium presenters. Not being in our own studio in which I definitely would have control of the environment and out on the road, contributed much to this. This is a 5 plus hour production with speakers of multiple nationalities and skin tones and complexions with the Black and Hispanic speakers having the darkest skin tones. My question is something that I have not been able to find on any videos or even random web searches and it's very frustrating. And that is, what is the best way and how to lighten video which has people of the darker races and nationalities included in it. These races obviously would include Black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Indian etc. I added an adjustment layer and tried a Luma only correction, and also a Luma combined with brightness and contrast, and the latter of the two has worked the best so far, but I'm still not totally pleased. Thank you for any help that you can give.

Luma curve is usually pretty effective. The general curves controls can also help.
You can try adding a light effect...like, the spotlight effect. I've done this before in After Effects and had some success but never with really badly lit material.
To be honest - and not having seen your footage at this point - if the footage is badly lit, I'd feel comfortable saying that it might not even be "fixable" unfortunately. Usually when there is inadequate light in the original footage, the details are simply not there, and trying to recreate them is generally a tradeoff. You might be able to get the exposure up a bit, but you introduce a LOT of noise in the process that is probably just as distracting as a dimly lit subject.
If the detail is there and a minor tweak is all that is needed, there are many options. It also depends on your format - AVCHD, HDV and other long-GOP 4:2:0 formats are fairly terrible with these sorts of rescue operations. High-end formats are much more malleable.
EDIT - Be sure with curve operations that you remember that your subject is in the low tones - even if it RELATIVELY the lightest object in the picture. The curve levels are dictated by absolute brightness cutoffs, so making adjustments on the high end of the curve would likely solve nothing on dimly lit subjects.

PREMIERE CC PRO to oldest Premiere CS6 ?

Hi guadaluper,

In Premiere Pro CC, choose File > Export > Final Cut Pro XML. Import that into Premiere Pro CS6. Not everything will translate, but your edit should remain intact.
Thanks,

Opening old Premiere Projects in Premiere Pro CS5

I have some old video projects which I've saved to disk with the idea that I could go back and edit them later. I just tried to open one of these old projects in Premiere Pro CS5 and it doesn't recognize the old Premiere Pro project. PP CS5 projects now end with *.prel or *.prproj. My old projects (some done in Premiere 6, some in PP CS) ended with *.ppj. I opened the *.ppj file properties and tried changing them from "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS" to "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5", but it looks like the file suffix remains *.ppj and PP CS5 still doesn't recognize it.
Is there a way I can convert my old PP projects to PP CS5 so they can be opened/edited in my current software?
Thanks.

David,
Per my earlier post, if you change that from All Supported Media to All Files, can you Import?
[Edit] I see that All Files did work, and that you are up and editing! That is great news.
As mentioned, the only issue that I had was with a very few 3rd party Transitions, and PrPro was nice enough to tell me exactly where these were used, and what their names were. I just wrote down those TimeCodes, added Cross-Dissolves to replace whatever the previous editor had used, and was up and editing.
Now, I did have to go through the "Where is file ____?" process, as the previous editor had drawn Assest from ALL over an external HDD, with no folder structures, or anything useful - what a kludge! I organized all of the Assets (many thousands) into logical order, and once I had re-established the links, all went beautifully.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - the reason that I asked about platforms is that Pr was X-platofrm, but then with PrPro, through version 2.0, it was PC-only. It was not until CS3, that it went back X-platform. This created a little problem for Mac users, with newer PrPro versions, but older PC Projects. We get about 1 of these issues per year, and the answer is for the Mac user to befriend a PC-person, with the right version of PrPro, do that Import step, then Save_As, and hand off the now, X-platform version of the PRPROJ. Hey, it fosters "hands across the aisle," and we've found several PC-users, with the right versions around here, who have done that conversion, out of the kindness of their hearts. That had zero to do with your Project, but wanted you to know why I asked.

How to open Premiere CS6 files with Premiere CS5.5

Hi, I've ran into a problem I recently got the Premiere CS6 trial and had done some projects on it that I started in CS5.5, but now the trial expired and many of my projects are stuck as CS6 files. Luckly I was able to put the trial on one of my older computers so i can still access the files for now but its extremely slow and the rendering takes forever so I dont want to render out any projects on that.
I know that Premiere is not backwards compatible but is there anyway to export the file or convert it to a CS5.5 file? I need to export the project by tommorrow and my old computer wont have it done by then. I will be buying CS6 in a couple weeks here but right now I cannot afford to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the original project files from CS5.5. You had to enter a new file name for CS6, so using the CS5.5 names will solve it under CS5.5. It will not solve the editing you did, that is lost (unless you dare to modify the XML files).

Issues opening CS6 projects in Premiere Pro CC

My Premiere Pro CC takes a ridiculously long time to locate media from a CS6 project file, is this normal?

You should file a bug report with Adobe. I just did. I am experiencing the same issue on multiple machines with Creative Cloud licenses. I waited to upgrade until I was finished with my major active projects in CS6, but I'm not recalling projects from last year for a couple of clients, and I have to wait around for hours to re-link just a couple of files at a time. If I didn't need a few hundred markers and other project-specific things from those old projects, I would just re-edit the sequences based on my EDLs because that would be much faster than waiting for the re-link. Premiere CC supports backwards compatibility with CS6 project files (mine are just fine once I go through the hours of re-linking), and I never experienced a similar issue after upgrading from CS5.5 to CS6 early last year, so I think it's a bug.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 to CS6 and save back to CS5.5

I was given project in Premiere Pro CS5.5 to work on in CS6, but have to save it back again in CS5.5.
Is this possible?
If so. how does one do it?

The license allows 2 activations... so just install/activate on your laptop... as long as you have only installed/activated once already

Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3, crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
P.S.
Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

I also discovered this behavior last summer. Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles." Source: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed. If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine. My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered. So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on.
Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location. At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips. In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
Wish I could offer you more.

Error Importing Premiere Elements project into Premiere Pro CS5

Hi,
I am working on a multi-part video project that I started in Premiere Elements 8. I put in hours upon hours of editing on the first part and I found that the more I edited, the more often the program would crash (infuriating!). So I started using Premiere Pro CS5 to produce the second part, resolving to come back to the first part later. Well, I've come back around to needing this first part done, and it is just undoable in Elements (crashes every 20 seconds!). I'd like to import that project into CS5 if possible. The help documentation says this should be perfectly possible... but I'm having no luck.
When I attempt to open my Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro, it tells me the project must be converted from Elements .prel to Pro .prproj, and I click through the prompts as normal. But then as soon as it starts trying to open the project, I get this:
"The Project could not be loaded. It may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 trial to see if it would be less crashy (and it is), but I'd really prefer to have all my video in one program, and CS5 does the best job (and has most of my hours invested). Elements 9 opens the "damaged" project just fine and I can edit and export normally, so why can't CS5?
Am I stuck recreating the project from the ground up in CS5?

In very general terms, a contemporary PrE Project (PREL), will Open in PrPro, with the steps that you outlined.
Now, there are all sorts of considerations, for aspects that will not likely work:
Instant Movie/Themes, as PrPro cannot read those
Some Effects that PrPro does not have, like the NewBlue FX
Some Transitions that PrPro does not have
Some Title animation Presets, that PrPro does not have
Do you have any of the above in your PrE Project? There are probably other circumstances, but those are all that come immediately to my mind.
The simpler the PrE Project, the greater the likelyhood that it will Convert to a PrPro PRPROJ file.
PrE 8 and PrPro CS5 should be close enough to work, again in those general terms. I can Open simple PrE 4.0 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but cannot Open PrE 7, 8 or 9 Projects in PrPro 2.0.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to save adobe Premiere CS6 files in CS5.5?

I have Adobe Premiere CS6 installed in my PC but my college Adobe version is cs5.5..so how can i save CS6 files into CS5.5?? i have checked a few forums but couldnt find a solution!!

http://translate.google.ru/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http %3A%2F%2Fwww.efxi.ru%2Fmore%2Fpremiere_pro_cs6_open_project.html

Opening A Premiere Pro CS6 Project in Premiere Pro CS 5.5

I downloaded Premiere Pro CS 6. I already have Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on my computer. I had read you can open up a CS 6 Project in CS 5.5 by doing the following:
1) Saving your project file on your Hard Drive
2) Copy it just for back up
3) Right Click (Control Click) on the original Project File and open it up in Text Edit.
4) On the fourth row Change Version "25" to Version "24"
5) Save it.
I opened up Premiere Pro 5.5 and went to File (that I just changed to open in Premiere CS 5.5) - Open Project - and I then clicked on that file. It started to open up. When Premiere 5.5 was open this dialog box came up:
I clicked OK and everything opened up in 5.5 fine. It worked great. You can open up a CS6 project in Premiere 5.5.
What does this box mean? I installed CS 6 as is. I did not add any third party files or transitions or filters.
Thanks in Advance

this is the best piece of advice i have found. thankyou so much edwurd. I have premiere pro 5.5 and 6, I had to upgrade to 6 for some commercial work, but half my plugins have now gone into another dimension and 6 doesn;t see them these consist of red giant and new blue fx plugins mostly. These all work great in 5.5 premiere but of course with new projects now in 6 half of them cease to be seen by the plugin loader even though they are in the cache after 11 days of installing and reinstalling still no one can help. I had a huge project i was working layered with all these third party plugins that 6 didn't want to play with anymore, although it used to, I just tried your suggestion. and it worked perfectly, i didn't even get the error box the whole thing / 6 project / opened beautifully in 5.5 with all plugins functioning and happy. Thankyou again. you are a legend.

Did you first enter your Creative Suite 6 serial number followed by your Creative Suite 5.5 serial number for Adobe Premiere? Is Adobe Premiere CS5.5 a upgrade version as well? If so what did you upgrade from?
