Do you know the original path to the CS4 media? (File structure.)
Not sure if 32 to 64 bit Win changes the file structure, or if Adobe CS4 to CS5 does, but it sure seems that way somewhere along the line. The new (from the old) path to the files is what you are looking for. Find them and point CS5 there and all should be OK. You may have to find out what the CS4 file system was and replicate that in the new install, that's if CS5 will allow the migration. (Usually there 'should' be some backwards compatibility, never 'forward', so even exporting the files in CS4 for use on 'other' PC's wouldn't of worked in my mind for CS5.) Otherwise do a few simple projects, find the files and their structure then copy and attempt to mimic the path with the old files in the new software. If CS5 uses a different file system entirely and converts things into different files then I think that's the end of the project, although I would like to see otherwise for your sake at least. Has anyone else had this? I guess you didn't do a fresh install, just an upgrade? Good luck. Barry. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Uwe Soltau Sent: 06 November 2010 20:37 To: [email protected] Subject: [AP] Can't open CS4 project in CS5 I have an unfinished project on my computer that was started in Win7 32bit and Premiere CS4. I have now installed Win7 64bit and CS5. When I want to open the project Premiere wants to convert it and is looking for some clips. Selecting the clip I get the following error message: /Cannot link media The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)./ This can not be, as the files (SD) are exactly the same ones I used before. The project was started with 16 hours of footage which has been reduced to 1 hour at this stage but has to be reduced even further. It would be a massive task to start from scratch again. A solution would be greatly appreciated. Uwe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] _____ No virus found in this message.
