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.

  • 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on a clip but it that doesn't do anything either, so I click 'skip all' and when the project opens all the clips have been replaced by an image saying ' Media Offline'.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'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!

  • FCP 5.1 won't let me save project.

    Hello All
    Working on a series we are networked on OS and running FCP 5.1 system osx 10.4.11
    pretty much every other day FCP has an error and won't let you save to the network where all the projects live.
    So we have to save to the desktop quit out of FCP drag the file from desktop to it's rightful home on the server and then all is good.
    As I said keeps happening and is a drag so if anyone know why this conflict keeps arising would love to know the way out!
    BTW once FCP starts acting this way it will continue to do it for all projects until you quit out of the app and restart FCP, then it behaves.
    Cheers

    Always work locally. Keep the projects you are editing on your computer, and back up to the server at the end of the night. This way, you have a copy in TWO places, and that can only be good.
    I have been to three companies that use FCP in a SAN environment and this is the standard practice for that. Unless you are running something like EDIT SHARE, that is designed around the Avid Unity concept...work locally, save globally.

    What happens when you tap it?
    Try Settings > Store > Apple ID > sing out and back in.
    Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Premier CS4 won't let me save or burn DVD

    After finishing the project I tried burning it onto DVD via Encore. Somehow Encore crashed my computer and after re-start, although I could open the project in Priemier I can no longer save it or save as. It gives me the 'Unkown error has occured'. I tried re-installing Premier still nothing. I can open the project but can't save it thus can't burn it (even tried MPEG2 DVD). Has anyone had a simillar problem and came up with a sollution ?

    I tried that but still can't save. Even created a blank 'new project' and still won't let me save.
    It appears something gone corrupt in the application itself.
    This is the message I get:
    Project Save Error.
    An unkown error occured while saving the project. Select 'Save As' from the File menu to
    save the project to a new location.
    Last minute break through...
    I followed sombody elses advice on a different forum to re-start while holding a SHIFT key
    to reset the cache.
    I could save the project straight after but when I tried creating MPEG2 DVD it would give me
    an error and the above would start all over again.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Opening CS4 projects in CS5 error with Canon 5D footage HELP!!!

    HI Im trying out the new Premiere Pro CS5 demo and Im getting major problems opening projects.
    Initially I couldnt open any of my CS4 projects but could import single sequences one at a time only, not whole projects. So I was finally working fine yesturday and today nothing opens that includes canon 5d footage . I get this error.
    "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I get the same message when I import a whole project. Yet I can import a whole project 1 sequence at a time!!!
    I can only create new projects which save and open but all older saved projects do not open.
    thanks
    remainz

    Yes, this is an intermittent issue with CS5. Somehow, there’s a problem wherein certain commonly-used codecs suddenly remove/disable themselves. I had this problem, and it was driving me crazy as I couldn’t open anything, and it was just way, way too much work to recreate. So I opened up a new project. Lo and behold, the program suddenly informed me that there were codecs that needed to be installed. Codecs which, I’m sure, have been installed already, but obviously Premiere knows that they’re missing. Allowing the program to install them, and then allowing it to quit itself, and then reopening the program again enabled Premiere to open all of my projects again.

  • Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

    I've several clips in a cs4 project.  All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder.  When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline."  When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences."  Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
    This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage.  If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem?  Thanks for your help.

    I figured out what has happened.  The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3.  The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec.  For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
    The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough.  I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
    Thanks for your time.
    Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there.  What's with Premiere Pro?  Irritating.

  • Cs4 projects in cs5

  • CS4 project into CS5?

    Will a CS4 project open in CS5
    (Maybe you could do a test on this Harm if you have time.)
    I would like to know so I can plan project migration to a new system.
    Answer would be good for the CS5 FAQ sub forum

    Shooternz,
    You should be able to recall my posted 'rant', a couple months back when I found I could not import my CS3 project into CS4 without 'errors' that rendered the project untenable in CS4.  Both forum users and Tech support advised me to purchase, 'No Problems', then implied error on my part when it didn't - further compounding my aggravation.  Tech Support's story changed from 'No Problems' to 'serious errors can occur in some instances' & Adobe refused to refund me until I got my state's ombudsman involved.  Now my case may just be 'some instance' but I suffered a lot of emotion and wasted a lot of time. Before you spend the dollars, please, download the trial version and test it with your specific projects.
