Trying to take a piece from Adobe CS6 to edit on FCP 7 - general error

I'm new to editing so please forgive my question or lack of technical knowledge.  Last year I had edited a short documentary for school using a trial version of Adobe CS5.  Fast forward a bit and now I'd like to make some changes to it using Final Cut 7.  Currently I downloaded the trial of CS6 on my laptop to try to make the transition easier.  I have a brand new iMac in which I upgraded the ram to 12gb.  I first tried to import the entire documentary as an .mp4 file and received the general error message, but not the out of memory message.  In researching my issue on this site I discovered that the file must be converted to prores.  I attempted to import a short piece of the documentary (~4 min out of the total 17min) as prores but I'm still receiving the same error.
Ideally, and I dont know if it can even be done but I'd like to somehow transfer the timeline over to FCP as well.  Please help, any input, ideas, thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

mp4 is not a fcp friendly format.  Try using compressor to convert to prores.
As far as bringing your project into fcp:
First, did you capture your original material with timecode?
What format is the original capture?
If so, you may be able to export an edl from premiere and bring that edl into fcp.  You would have to probably convert the original captured material to an fcp friendly format and then manually match each shot in to fcp.
All doable and probably easier than starting from scratch.

  • Moving picture from Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 to a folder in MY PICTURES

    What is a simple way to move a picture (or group of pictures) from Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 to a folder in MY PICTURES? I do not have a PHD in computer science, but I am a Grandpa, so please make the directions simple. I have a PC with Windows XP. Thank you.

    Hi Chester,
    Unfortunately with the SE version, it does NOT have a MOVE utility. The GOOD
    news is that it will update itself on where you physically moved the
    picture.
    Step 1. Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer and locate
    the image that you wish to move;
    Step 2. Move the image to My Pictures per your question;
    Step 3. Open Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition;
    Step 4. Click File, Reconnect All Missing Files.
    That my friend should be it. Have a nice day.
    Cheers

    We have licensed version of Adobe CS6, but when we start it shows error Maximum Activations Exceeded, We are unable to activate Creative Cloud.@

    CS6 perpetual Mac is version 13.0.6 Windows is version 13.0.1.3 Subscription cloud version is 13.1.2.  If you have a cloud subscription and a perpetual licence you would not be able to have both version install at the same time on same machine. What does your Creative Cloud desktop application show and if you start CS6 if the flash screen shows or you can get to menu Help>About Photoshop what version i shown 13.0.6  or 13.0.1.3 or 13.1.2?

  • Trying to Serialize Trial version of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard on Mac

    Hi,
    We have created a Trial package of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard using  AAMEE 3.1 latest version. We followed the guidelines outlined in    
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html  to create a Serialization file. However when we try to Run the Command in terminal "AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml" we get an error which states AdobeSerialization command not found.  Am I missing something here while running the command? Serialization  workflow creates a output folder containing AdobeSerialization executable file  and a prov.xml file. Can't we run the executable directly without using any command on Mac?  We are in the process of using this workflow in order to  streamline the licensing in enterprise. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vishnu Kulkarni

    Hi,
    If you are getting the "Adobeserialization command not found" error, it is not able to find the AdobeSerialization at the path you have mentioned. You should give the path of the folder where the AdobeSerialization is kept on your machine. Please retry it and let us know in case of any error. Return code of zero means success.
    If you are using AAMEE 3.1 and if you use imaging, you need got go through the route of creating the trial package, deploying the trial image and then serializaing the client machines using serialization executable after deploying the trial packages on client machines. The machine-to-license binding is removed in AAMEE 3.1, so you just need to create a serialized packge using AAMEE 3.1, take its image and deploy it on client machines. The licensing will not break on client machines and everything will work fine. So there is no need to create a serialization executable.
    If you have already created a master machine (the machine whoose image is created and deployed) with Adobe products installed in trial, create a serialization executable and run it on the master machine using the command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize--stream --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml
    where
    --tool=VolumeSerialize specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.
    --provfile specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,
    By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so
    typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some other location.) .
    This will serialize your trial products and you can take its image and deploy it on client machines. Again, the licensing will not break on client machines and there is no need to run the serialization executable on all client machines seperately.
    if you have already deployed Adobe products on client machines in trial mode, you need to serialize all the machines using the AdobeSerialization tool. Please run this tool with command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml.
    This will serialize the Adobe Products.
    While taking the above routes, make sure that the package is created using AAMEE 3.1 only. The machine-to-license binding of CS6 is removed only in AAMEE 3.1 release version. This will not work for packages created using AAMEE 3.0 or AAMEE 3.1 beta version.

  • When trying to print to PDF from a sales program we use it keeps throwing errors

    When several people try to print to PDF from MAS90, it will save it and create a file as it normally does. However, it does not open in Acrobat 9 Pro as it normally does, and displays the famous error "Acrobat could not open 'xxxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported..."  Yet when you manually open the file from the file system, it opens just fine.
    So to rehash what I just said, when I print to pdf, it asks me where to save, the notification said the printing completed, adobe opens and displays error. If you click on the file, then the file opens just fine.
    However several other people do not have this error while trying to print to file from mas90. Does anyone out there have any idea what could possibly be causing this error to be displayed?

    Hi ftd12300,
    Are you saving the PDFs you're creating to a network drive or are they being saved locally? 
    Do you have this problem when creating PDFs from other applications such as Notepad?

    Hi,
    I could follow you till the message "changes will be lost..." I have seen this message too. However, my images did not get deleted from the device after that. In case you are sure that you did not delete the images accidently, you can report this as a bug to Adobe. Just follow the link below:

  • Moving from Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 to a current edition of Photoshop

    I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 a while back but did not register.  Earlier today I went to download some vacation pictures and got a popup that I had to register.  I tried to register, but another popup informed me this edition was no longer available.  I tried to download my pictures using another application only to discover that Adobe had deleted them from my card (only my vacation pictures, not the pictures I had previously downloaded).  When I pull up Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, I can see my vacation pictures behind the registration popup, but I cannot get to them.  How can I get my pictures back?

    i wish i could answer your question as the same thing has happened to me!!!!   i'm totally lost now, can't access my stuff, and don't have a clue as to what to do!!!  since i'm pretty computer illiterate, i don't even know what to do now to get my pics from my camera into my computer....sooooo lost and stressed out.  what is the 'current' edition? where do you find it?  is it FREE?

  • How do I retrieve photo's from Adobe Photoshop Starter edition now that it is no longer available?

    I have photo's that have downloaded into adobe photoshop starter edition which is now no longer available and I am unable to register to unlock it!  Getting very stressed as the programme automatically deleted the photo's from my memory card so the only copies I have are now locked in the catalogue of adobe photoshop!  I tried the online help, followed instructions only to get error messages.  I downloaded a new version of photoshop which took all evening and still cannot retrieve my photos!  Does anyone have any advice on how I may get my photo's back?

    I dunno PS Starter Edition, but I doubt the images exist in self-contained catalogs only. Certainly there is some very big folder ful lof JPEGs on your hard drive. The default path for Adobe stuff is always My Files\My Images\Adobe, so search there. and of course, if you know the name of one of the images, a conventional Windows search will turn it up...

    Tried to download TV series from ITunes.  Most ok, but 4 will not download.  All I get is:  download error.  Tap to retry.   Repeats over and over.  Please help!

    If you sync with iTunes on your computer - connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad name on the left side. Then at the top of iTunes go to Store>Check for available downloads. See if the TV shows will download there and then sync them to the iPad.
    If you don't sync with iTunes, try signing out of your account, restart the iPad, sign in again and then try to download the shows again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.
