Restoring old projects using CC

Currently if a client comes back to me for an old job, all I need to do is open it in an older version. Or possibly bring it into newer software. This happens enough so that I'm concerened about how this is possible with CC.
How will I restore work I do today in CC 2014 later in 2016?  I can't keep a copy of CC, since in essence I have been just renting it. It expires if it is not connected to the internet.
Any ideas?

Okay, now let's push the boundaries a bit.
You're a one-man shop, using Creative cloud.  You build up a small, but pretty respectable clientele.
Suddenly, a business opportunity comes up that you can't refuse -- let's say it's the restaurant business.  You close up your motion graphics business, and cancel CC.
Five years down the road, you relucantly tell yourself that you had a good run in the restaurant business, you gave it a good shot, but your heart still lies in motion graphics.  So you sell your part of the restaurant to your partner, you happily re-establish some good contacts with former clients, and re-subscribe to the cloud. 
Some of your clients' favorite work was done in AE 12.... but AE's up to version 15 or 16, and you have NONE of the interim versions.  What do you do then?
I get the feeling Adobe hasn't thought through scenarios like that. 
Or maybe such scenarios are of little concern to them because they represent such a small portion of their renters.

  • Upgrading Computer:  Restoring Old Projects

    I'm thinking about upgrading my Mac to one of the new 8-processor jobbies.
    One concern that comes up is that I have a couple of Final-Cut projects that I either haven't finished or may want later to reload from my archives to make a BluRay cuts of them (they were filmed in HDV but compressed onto DVD, since BluRay didn't exist at the time).
    I gather that to be able to continue current projects, and to restore old projects, every file has to be in the exact same place on the exactly identically-named hard disks on the new system. That is, unless there's some easy way to remap all file names, such as to a new volume name.
    Do any of you know of some way to, for example, say "hey Final Cut (Motion, Compressor, etc.), all of the files that used to be on a disk named "Greebledorf" is now in the same place on a disk called "Snigglegloop".

    Ah, OK, I'll look up "media manager" or similar in the docs.
    To be more precise, here's what I'm kicking around: I currently have two physical drives (internal): The main, system disk and a FCS scratch disk. Most aspects of a project I put onto the FCS drive and archive it when I'm done with that project.
    On the upgraded system, I'm thinking about replacing both physical drives with a single, very-fast RAID system. That then would, in concept at least, change the paths to all of the stuff that was on the FCS scratch disk.
    The alternative would be to partition the RAID drive into images of the original two disks, in which case things will look the same again, but is perhaps a bit of a meaningless partition.
    Maybe it's not too terribly meaningless though, if I get back to the philosophy that whatever's on the scratch disk is what I archive when I go from project to project. Maybe that's a very meaningful partitioning concept.
    Anybody have any thoughts on this, in terms of project management?

  • Restoring old photos using E9

    Is it posible to restore an old photo that has been partly sun bleeched using Elements 9?
    Any tips would be very welcome.

    This was good practice for me -- I never was any good at colouring black & white photos.
    The original photo is a B&W that was hand-coloured.  You can tell by looking at the photo left arm and the photo left eye for the places where the colour bled into adjacent areas.  Also, there is red remaining in the cheeks, even though the rest of the face is bleached out.  This suggests that a retoucher used very finely powdered rouge to colour the cheeks, and those solid particles would not bleach as much as the dyes used for the other colours.
    So, hatstead's idea of eliminating the colours and starting fresh with a B&W image is a good one.
    The thing I wanted to avoid was having areas of solid featureless colour, so I decided that I'd hand-paint everything and thus get more realistically varied tones.  Turned out that the Color Replacement brush worked very well for that --
    Duplicate background.
    Convert to Black & White: "Portraits", "Contrast" +7.
    Rectangular Marquee to select the faded area in the center of the image;
    Transform Selection: "Skew" to align with the edges of the faded area.
    Save Selection as "Faded Area".
    Quick Selection tool:  select the clothes.
    Save Selection as "Clothes".
    Select...Load Selection:  "Faded Area" as "New Selection".
    Select...Load Selection:  "Clothes" as "Subtract from selection"  This makes a selection of the faded area on the wall as well as the face and hair.
    Select...Refine Edge:  Smooth:  0, Feather:  3.1px, Expand:  +3%.
    Levels Adjustment Layer (masked to that selection):  0, 0.73, 255.
    Select...Load Selection:  "Clothes" as "New Selection".
    Select...Load Selection:  "Faded Area" as "Intersect with selection".  This makes a selection of the faded area of the clothes.
    Select...Refine Edge:  Smooth:  0, Feather:  3.1px, Expand:  +3%.
    Levels Adjustment Layer (masked to the selection):  0, 0.96, 255.
    Highlight the 3 layers (B&W, both Levels layers) and use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to merge them into a new layer.
    Healing Brush tool:  "Normal" mode, Source:  "Sampled" to clean up lines, etc., left from the Levels adjustment.
    Burn and Dodge tools targetting the Midtones at a strength of 4% to paint the folds and even out the tones in the photo left arm.
    Burn and Dodge tools (same settings) to strengthen the appearance of the buttons and fabric edge of the center of the sweater.
    Burn and Dodge and Spot Healing Brush to fix photo left eye.
    Spot Healing Brush to fix blemish on upper lip (photo right), and on photo right upper arm.
    Finished B&W image:
    Color Replacement Brush, constantly varying the brightness and saturation of the colours to colour the image.
    Quick Selection tool to select the child, then Inverse to select the background.
    Save Selection as "Wall".
    Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, masked to the "Wall" selection, set to "Colorize".  Hue:  199, Saturation:  5, Lightness:  -26.
    Smudge Tool on the H/S mask to modify the edges of the hair.
    Blur Tool, Strength:  56%, on the H/S mask to soften all edges:
    Selection...Load Selection:  "Clothes".
    H/S adjustment layer, masked to the "Clothes" selection, with a Saturation:  -35 to tone down the colours of the clothes and bring their colours more in line with the face.
    Crop slightly to remove the white areas at the edges of the image.
    The layers wound up like this:
    And the final image:
    Besides the practice with using the Color Replacement brush, I learned that using the Smudge and Blur tools on a layer mask is a great way to soften the edges of that mask.

  • In Premiere CS5, I opened an old project I had edited using Premiere CS3 and now its all pixelated!

    Hi everyone. I just got Premiere Pro CS5 and started the program and opened up an old project I had edited using Premiere Pro CS3. Premiere Pro CS5 said it had to convert the project for editing in CS5. I clicked "okay" and the project opened up in CS5. Now, when I play the project on the timeline, everything has some pixelation! The footage was nice and sharp without any artifacts when I edited in Premiere Pro CS3. How do I get rid of this pixelation in CS5 so the footage looks like it is supposed to?! Thanks.

    Well, there's really no rationale for the project conversion to somehow drastically alter the appearance of footage, particularly something like DVCPROHD. Adobe changed the way its software handles pixel aspect ratios between CS3 and CS4, but that affects SD footage, not HD footage. There may be some degree of weirdness since in CS3, you had a project that was set to a specific format/frame rate/codec/whatever, whereas in CS4 and later the project is just a container for sequences of any and all types.
    Instead of opening the original project and going through the conversion, try creating a new project and importing the old project as if it were any other media file. Premiere will reconstruct the old project within the new one; this probably is not going to have any change, but it's worth a shot.
    Can you describe (or better, show) the pixelation you're referring to? It's hard to visualize without, well, a visual, and that might help better pinpoint the issue. Also, is the pixelation only during playback, or is while the clip is paused in the sequence, as well?

  • How to import the old project to new project in P6

    Hi new guy here.Sorry if this thing have been posted before.I am kinda new here.
    I just wonder if can I import an old project to new project in P6?
    I have already finished with the project,but then as something happened I need to make it as a new project.So how can I used all the information I have on the old project to be transfer to the new one?
    If can how?I need to change certain things like date,resource,etc.
    Thanks

    hello.
    there are other more elaborate (and depending on size and scope of modifications, possibly useful) options including Methodology Management, but to keep it simple, try the following:
    if you have an initial baseline of the existing project, restore it and go from there. let me know if you need help on that.
    if not, copy-paste the existing project and manually adjust the newly created one. you can use "global changes" and/or "fill down" (see help and/or available related posts for this) to clear progress data such as actual resource/ expense units and costs, then activity start dates (in this order).
    make sure you baseline your projects before you start imputting actual data.
    good luck.

  • Reinstalled 10.6.8, had to restore old folders. iWork '09, purchased in store to upgrade 08...Would serial number be in my old installation somewhere? Have original box but lost discs, can find a record of purchase to get new serial or old serial

    Just figuring this out, posting question for the first time.
    Had problems after installing 10.6.8, so resolved to have it partitioned and reinstalled.
    Restored the old applications.  Had been using iWork '08 and then upgraded to '09, have been using for years.   Restored libraries, but don't have the '09 discs anymore, just the box from purchase.  I can open the old projects that I made, but can't alter without the serial number.  Is it posible the serial number is buried somewhere and needs to be restored, too?  If I purchased this in store, is there a record, so that I might be able to get a new serial number  from Apple without a charge?
    Thanks for help on this one!

    Check the box for the serial #.  If you still have your receipt, the store where you made the purchase should have a record. 
    The serial # may also be buried inside a preference file (plist).  

  • Restore iMovie Project from Time Machine - how?

    Hi All...
    Have a question.  Is there a way to recover a single project using Time machine?
    Or do you have to restore the entire iMovie program 'completely'?
    Thanks very much for helping me answer this.

    the program and your 'documents' are completely detached!
    a re-install of the app has no effect on your Events, nor Projects.
    launching 'TimeMachine', go into your 'Movies' folder, go into 'iMovie Projects', your projects are listed ...
    but ...
    a Project file is just a list of 'advices'. If the referred Events/clips are missing, a recovering of an old Project will fail. Plus, iMovie gets a bit 'iffy' when you manipulate its data-base 'behind its back'.-
    give it a try .....

  • Manual creation of Project Site for a project is taking old project site template.

    Dear All,
    I have modified the project site and save it as a template to associate it with an EPT so that the modification will reflect in new project sites.
    For existing projects, I am deleting the old project sites (after taking backup) and recreating so that new modifications will be there for existing projects and I am able to do so.
    But, for 1 of the project, when I have deleted the project site and recreated, still it is taking the old template (i.e. new modifications has not been seen).
    Kindly advice in some areas so that I can jump in and around and can find out a solution so that the project site will take modified project template.
    Example to get the issue in an easy way:
    ProjectA:
    Project Site: http://epm/pwa/ProjectA
    Issue List:
    Column: Category [data type as Choice: Cat1, Cat2, Cat3]
    Have saved 1 project site as a template and associated with an EPT with the following changes:
    Column: Category [data type as Choice: Choice1, Choice2, Choice3]
    Then, deleted the project site: http://epm/pwa/ProjectA and recreated.
    So, it should take the modifications in the project site.
    But, it is showing as Column: Category [data type as Choice: Cat1, Cat2, Cat3].

    Dear Guillaume,
    Thanks for your response.
    Please seem my comments inline:
    Which Project Server version do you use?
    PS 2010
    It is working well and as expected for all projects except for 1 specific project?
    Yes. It is working well for other projects except 1 project.
    Has this project something particular?
    Nope. It is similar as other projects.
    How do you proceed to create the new project site? Do you go to the site actions, then new site and pick up your new template?
    First I have modified 1 of the project site and saved that site as a template.
    Then, I have deleted the existing project site (from Project Sites under Operational Policies) and recreated so that project site will gets created from the new template. But, it's not happening.
    Regards,
    Shravan

  • Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

    Hi everybody,
    maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
    I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
    1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
    2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
    3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
    Regarding all 3 issues:
    I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
    But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
    Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
    Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
    Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
    If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
    cheers,
    Joern

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • TS4036 I am trying to restore my phone using iTunes back up and iCloud back up. Both won't let me do it.  They said that it could not be completed.  What can I do to get my phone restored?

    I had to wipe my phone clean because of storage issues.  It kept saying I didn't have enough storage for pics or apps, but I only had about 75 pics and 1 extra app. So, I backed up my iPhone on icloud and itunes, then cleared off my iphone using the steps in the settings.  Then, when I am going back to restore my iPhone using iTunes back up and iCloud backup, it fails in both locations.  It says it failed to be completed. 
    What now?

    Thank you Terence for your help.  I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive.  so i felt sort of ok.  but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted.  it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it.  my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this.  i have 10 years of photos and videos.  so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup.  i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups.  i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all!  do you know why that is?  all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful.  thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash.  especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed.  any answers you have would be great. thank you.

  • Editing Old Project from External Hard Drive

    Last year my G5 developed an incurable Kernel error issue. I decided to buy a new iMac and have been very pleased. I backed up my system to an external hard drive and now I would like to access an old project from the external drive.
    I selected the external drive and went to the last date of my backup. However, this is where I have no idea how to complete this task. Can I simply open FCE and import the project from the drive? Will all of the media transfer over?
    Would really like to know the ins and outs before I begin and paint myself into a corner. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tom:
    Not sure what you mean by "restore". I am assuming I will need to do the following:
    1. Open FCE
    2. Import the old project from my external drive
    3. This is where I get lost. Can you please fill in the blanks from her for me. I cannot seem to find the instructions to do this anywhere.
    Thanks!
