Projects in CS5

Hi
hope someone can help with this,I have created a number of sequences and have saved them as projects, I dont think i had an option to save them as a sequence. I need to assemble my projects/sequences to make my film but can only open 1 at a time, Any help would be very gratefully received
Thanks in advance
Dave

Create a new project. Using the Media Browser, navigate to and select one or more Premiere Pro project files (.PRPROJ) and drag them into the Project panel. You'll be asked, for each project, whether you want to import the entire project or just selected sequences. Once you've imported all the projects and sequences you need, you can reassemble them any way you like--copy and paste edits into a new sequence, or nest the various sequences into a final sequence (in other words, use a sequence like you would a clip).

Opening CS4 Project in CS5

Hi Guys
I'm trying to open a CS4 project in CS5.
On opening I get a message saying it was created in an earlier version of Pr and must be converted. I click OK and get a screen showing all the project folders and clips with options to 'skip' or 'skip all'. I tried opening the folders but nothing is there and it says 'No items match your search'. I tried typing the project name into the 'File name' box; the same thing. I click on a clip but it that doesn't do anything either, so I click 'skip all' and when the project opens all the clips have been replaced by an image saying ' Media Offline'. I find if I right click on each clip I can relink but this would take some time as there are 75 in the project. Any ideas how I can open this project to work on?
Regards,
Graham

When you open a CS4 project in CS5, the required conversion will result in a new filename with _1 appended to the name. Then when opening this project you need to show PR where the files are located by directing it to the correct directory. Once you have done that for the first file, it will automatically find the other files in that directory. Since you have now offlined all the files by skipping them, I suggest you delete this CS5 project and import again from CS4 and taking the little time to direct PR to the correct media.

Can I open a CS6 Premiere project in CS5.5?

I am working in CS6 Premiere and am needing to transfer the project files to my partners machine and he is working on CS5.5. His computer says it's unable to open because the project was saved in a newer version. Is there any way to bypass that? His computer has a lot more power than mine and we need that to finish an effects heavy project asap.
Any help out there? Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone!
I did try the FCP XML export and it gave me an error message that I didn't quite understand and wasn't able to find any real help on that. So that method may not be your best bet, Jim Curtis.
What I ended up doing was opening up the project in CS5. It couldn't recognize the Red (5k) footage, but I saved the project file and when I opened it in CS5.5 I just had to relink the footage. I know that's a long work around, but hey, it worked and that's all that matters. Hopefully, I'll be upgrading once the new pro's come out and I won't need to do all the heavy effects at my partners house anymore.
Cheers

CS4 project to CS5 anomaly

Previous project was 1080 from a digital camera.
When I imported a previous CS4 PAL DV project into CS5, all the sequences were set to 1080 not DV.
I added a DV sequence, gave up and tried again. This time the sequences were DV as they should have been originally.
This suggests that there might be an anomaly sometimes when importing projects from CS4 to CS5 when they are of different types from the immediately previous work in CS5.
Working OK now, but posted so there is a record in case others have the same problem.

If I can repeat it, or others report the same issue, I'll certainly put in a bug report. But as of now it could easily be a one-off from a particular project.

Working on a CS4 project in CS5.5 - Flash won't let me save FLA normally (ctrl+s)

I started working on a Flash project and I'll be moving it back and forth between two different computers. The project was originally started in Flash CS4. The other computer has Flash CS5.5 installed. So when in CS5.5 I save the fla as a CS4 version FLA.
I hit Save As... and then from the Save As Type pull-down menu I selected CS4 Fla document and I assumed that from then on I could just hit ctrl+s to save the project and it would maintain the CS4 version. But that isn't quite what's happening. Every time I hit ctrl+s a Flash Compatibility Warning pops up and tells me that I need to use Save As... and then Save As Type again to keep it a CS4 document.
So basically, from what I understand, when working on a CS4 project in CS5.5 - I can't use Save. I can only use Save as...
This is really annoying because I am accustomed to hitting ctrl+s pretty often.
And now EVERY TIME I wish to do a simple save, I need to hit ctrl+shift+s, then select CS4 from the Save As Type menu, then hit save, and then click YES when asked if to overwrite the previous file with the same name.
Is this a bug?

Flash will let me Embed the FLV but not let me use it for playback.

Can't open Premiere CS4 project in CS5

Having issues opening a premiere cs4 project in cs5. The machine I was using with Cs4 has died, so I'm trying to continue the project with CS5.
Whenever I open the project I get a message saying "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened, No sequence preview preset or file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I have the latest version of premiere cs5 installed, and quicktime. The footage I was using was from a Canon 7D.
Thank you!

How do I open old projects in CS5?!

I just purchased a new iMac for our office. The old version of Premier (Premier 6.5) we had wouldn't run with the new OS system (10.6.4), so we've upgraded to CS5 and now none of our older projects will open... this creates a huge problem since we do a lot of 30 second tv spots for local car dealers and they tend to change only a few minor things every month. Might be the color of a car or the current incentive. So I just build off last month's commercial instead of redesigning the wheel every time... is there a way to open or import my older projects or am I pretty much screwed and have to recreate them?
thanks,
Rick

CS5 is not designed to open projects made in any version before CS3. I doubt even Premiere Pro 2.0 projects will open or import in CS5.
Sorry, Jeff--gotta call you out on this one:
From the help docs linked above (emphasis is mine):
You can add the contents of a project made
with Premiere Pro CS3 on either Mac OS or Windows. In addition,
on Windows, you can import a project made with earlier versions
of Premiere Pro, or Premiere 6.0 or 6.5. The imported project’s clips
and sequences are added to the Project panel in a bin named after
the imported project. The bin hierarchy of the imported project
is maintained within its new bin. Discontinued transitions and effects
are not maintained. Use caution when importing a project into another
project with a different time base or audio sample rate, because
these differences may affect edit positioning and audio quality.
Importing
a project into another project is the only way to transfer its complete sequence
and clip information.
Also, you can open projects made with
Premiere Pro for Windows, including any contents that may have been
imported from earlier versions, in Premiere Pro for Mac OS.
True, the project files won't "open," per se, but at least on Windows, you can go back quite a way. I've personally imported Premiere 6.0/6.5 PC projects into CS5 without an issue.
As the last line of the quote above mentions, you can get old Premiere projects (Mac or PC I'm guessing, since it doesn't specify) into the Mac version of CS5 by routing through the Windows version. Two step, perhaps, but it's better than nothing.

CS5.5 Crashes When importing Projects from CS5

I'm trying to update ll my CS5 projects into CS5.5. However it will load the project, but while indexing the files it goes super slow and eventually stops. Then crashes. This happens to all of my CS5 projects I try to import. CS5.5 however works perfectly fine on it own. Is there a fix for this or do I have change a setting since I still have both CS5 and CS5.5 installed on the same computer?

First of all, projects don't have these settings any more, sequences do, and you can have any number of different sequences in any given project.
Right click on a clip in the bin and select New Sequence from Clip. That will create a new sequence that properly matches your footage. Then delete the clip that's there, and Copy/Paste everything from your old sequence into the new. You may have to go through and adjust some edits, depending on the settings for the first sequence.

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.

Is Editing a rendered project in CS5.5 possible?

Is it possible to edited a previusly rendered project in CS5.5? Also, in tutorials reference to accessing the render queue is required but, I can't find it. Help!

Welcome to the forum.
When you say, "a project after rendering," do you mean a Project, that has been Rendered (hitting Enter/Return) for smoothest playback, or do you mean a Project, that has been Exported to a separate AV file?
Good luck,

Open CS5.5 project in CS5?

Is there a way to open a Premiere CS5.5 project in CS5? I am trying to transfer a project done in CS5.5 by a colleage to my CS5 system. I've been avoiding CS5.5 because I, personally, had no need for it. I'm waiting for CS6. I would hate to purchase CS5.5 just to jump to CS6 in 6 months or so. This is a pro bono project, so there's no way to justify the move to CS5.5 based on $$. :-(
Any options?

Ann -
CS5 gives me the same error when I try to import the CS5.5 project as it does when I try to open the project. The error message from CS5 is actually incorrect, but I understand the issue. When I try to import just a sequence CS5 hangs.
"The project was created in an older version of Premiere and cannot be opened. Please refer to the User Guide for import options".

Is there a "reveal in project" shortcut CS5 pc?

Is there a "reveal in project" shortcut CS5 pc?
When a subclip is on the TL & I right click it, I can choose "reveal in project" but can not find a way to make a keyboard shortcut in "keyboard customization"

OK, I'm following you. I've got a couple thoughts..
First, I'd avoid subclips altogether, particularly if you're just going to convert them to master clips. In essence, you're marking your master clip and inserting them into a sequence--with a few other steps in between.
Premiere can create a marked duplicate of a master clip simply by dragging it from the Source Monitor to the Project panel without any modifier keys. This will give you another independent reference to the media file, but it will have the in and out points as you created them in the Source Monitor. If you create a series of these, you could then automate them to a sequence, and they will respect the marks you made. Unlike subclips, which are hard stops, you'd have handles on both ends (because they're just marked clip instances) so you could do transitions and the like. Unfortunately, there is no keyboard shortcut or command to do this, so it's a mouse action--probably not going to help with your macro.
I DIDN'T REALIZE I COULD. THE LAST VERSION I HAD WAS CS3 AND THAT CREATED A SUBCLIP EVEN WHEN DRAAGED TO A BIN. NICE WORK COLIN! IT STINKS THAT THERE IS NO KEYBOARD SHORTCUT BUT THIS WILL HELP ME SPEED UP MY EDITING QUITE A BIT!!
But, what about setting up a key on the Contour that marked an out point on your clip in the Source Monitor, and immediately after edited into the active sequence? I suppose you could map the Mark In Point command to one button on the Contour, and the Mark Out Point + Insert to a button right next to it, and you'd be able to rock through a master clip pretty quickly. That way, you'd be cutting out the middleman, so to speak--no subclips, no converting to master clips, no automate to sequence--and you'd still end up with the same result.
THAT IS THE EXACT WAY I'VE ALWAYS HAD IT SET UP. IT IS AMAZINGLY FAST. I WILL KEEP USING SUBCLIPS TO BIN BECAUSE I CAN MACRO THEM HOWEVER I ALREADY KNOW WHEN I AM CUTTING UP THE MC WHICH CLIPS NEED TO BE REFERENCED CLIPS INSTEAD OF SUBCLIPS & I CAN MANUALLY DRAG THEM FROM THE SOURCE WINDOW TO THE BIN.
However, it's possible I'm missing a key part of your workflow here. Curious to hear your thoughts...
NO, YOU NAILED IT COLIN...THANKS SO MUCH!!

Can't open my project in CS5.5

Help!!!!!
I've just exported my old cs5 project in flash builder but it won't open in cs5.5 becaus of an error. I'm not a programer so have no idea what this means.
src\Main.mxml (995): Unexpected child: "swfcontroller1". Expected a compatible visual component.
src\Main.mxml (995): This tag may not have an ID.
Line 995 is

Any ideas?

Ok fixed it by deleting waterdrops2.swf in cs5 importing to flash builder, exporting as catalyst and adding the swf back again in catalyst cs5.5.
Now I have exactly the same problem as here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3740345?tstart=6 where my project appears blank in run_local but fine in a browser.

Freezing when opening project in CS5.5 Windows 7

I've read where uses have been hainvg issue loading projects with linked objects like Premiere sequences. I'm having such an issue where I can load 16% of the project and then Encore freezes and crashes. I've deleted all the preferences and media cache files as described in one of the articles. I've also loaded the project in Premiere before opening Encore to no avail.
I had changed the media cache from my main OS drive to my drive with the most stoage. Once that occured I have yet to be able to open this project. I need it opened desperately so I can finish this for my client.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit CS5.5 and yes I am the administrator of the machine. This is the only thing holding me up as my project is done and is ready to be burned.
Thank you

Try trashing your preferences in the default account. I don't know if you got to item 12 in that list, so here it is:
12. Re-create the Adobe Encore Preferences files.
Some problems may be caused by a damaged Preferences file.
To automatically re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences file:
Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys while choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number>. Release the keys after several seconds. The application will not start at this point, but the preferences file will be deleted.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> again to start the application. A new preferences file is created when the application starts.
Note: This procedure will not re-create the preferences for workspaces, zoom levels, or default library items. To do so, manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files.
To manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files:
Delete the following folder:
On Windows Vista: C:\Users\ [user name] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\<version number>.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> to start the application. New preferences files are created when the application starts.

Cs4 projects in cs5

Hi I just downloaded the trial to see how much quicker cs5 is to cs4 but I cant open any of my cs4 projects? Is this not possible or is this just because I have the trial version. Also some videos I imported dont have audio attached, wierd.

Yes, there is no Australian version. The downloads comply with US laws and regualtions. For details on your rights as a consumer and product requirements in AUS I'd direct you to the following sites, please contact them directly -

CS4 projects in CS5 with Matrox

After one week of testing, I thought I could conclude that CS5 PP & AE were giving me a workable new production system.
I have got 12 Terabyte of CS4 projects I need to use.
Many of these projects now only work for 90%, but I could repair them a bit so CS5 would not crash etc.etc.
PP showed which Matrox plugin used to be at which spot and that it just wasn't working anymore.
Playback was possible and PP reacted on scrubbing and interface changes.
It was obvious the projects were a bit mutulated, but I could see what they used to be.
I also bought and installed Boris Continuum to compensate for the lost Matrox effects.
But now something terrible happened.
I opened an older PP project I was working on, but now the brand new PC has turned into the familiar nightmare mode again.
PP tells me the Matrox effects are missing. Not so very nice, but as I said, I can fix that somewhat.
However, somehow PP now has become horribly sluggish with CS4 projects.
PP does not react on mouseclicks like it should.
The output image hardly updates.
I MUST remove the non-working plugin references, in stead of just disabeling them in the effect tab.
I can not see, which plugin was on those exact spots, it just says Unknown so I need my old computer to figure out how to repair things.
The old PC reference is not an option, as my boss wants me to throw it out.
I find myself in deep trouble.
I convinced my boss, not to buy an Avid, as we have 12 Terabyte of very precious CS4 projects.
I told him I could use Boris to emulate the lost Matrox effects.
Now I have this CS5 set, which does not even allow me to reconstruct CS4 projects.
I just don't know where to look for support anymore; Adobe will point to Matrox and Boris, and they will point in the same circular way.
Is there anyone who could say something constructive, in stead of "please report this as a bug"?

I am in the fortunate position of never using the multitude of "special" effects with which the older versions of Matrox cluttered the Premiere installation. As a result, for me, the transition to CS5 using the Matrox beta drivers for my RTX2 has been no problem. I simply opened the couple of projects that I wished to work on in CS5 and went ahead. I deliberaterly waited until my "live" projects were at a minimum level before upgrading.
The new system is so fast and flexible, even with a three year old system and a GTS 250 graphics card, that I do not miss the Matrox acceleration in hardware at all. The few effects that I did use that are no longer available, e.g. Matrox Move and Scale, are now real-time with the Adobe version on my relatively feeble system.
Clearly, where a project uses Matrox effects which are no longer available, these will have to be removed and replaced, and it is probable that they will slow things down in the meantime. Once they are removed, there should be no more problem.
This is by no means the first thread I have seen relating this kind of problem. I wonder how the upgrade to CS5 was carried out? I always keep an image of the basic Windows set-up, immediately before I install Premiere, and always start from that. This ensures a clean start with no Matrox of Adobe debris around to cause any problems. I always install Premiere and the rest of my Adobe software, before the rest of the office software.
If Harm Millaard does pollute this thread with his customary abuse, my advice is to ignore him, and hope he goes away.
