CS4 Custom Effect Preset File Locations - import them to cs5

Dec 29, 2010 11:41 PM

I am moving my editing from cs4 to cs5.

I want to load my custom effect presets - I can't find them to import.

does anyone know the stock/standard file location for them?

it doesn't seem to be c:/user/me/documents/adobe.

nor C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4\Presets

thanks!

    You can export them out of CS4 first, and them bring them into CS5.

    1) Exporting them sounds great. Is there a way to export them all at once? I have hundreds of presets, and doing them one at a time is an unpleasant thought.

     

    2) I would like to know where they are stored so I can back them up, even if I don't export. Can anyone answer the location where they are stored?

     

    Thanks!

    If memory serves, you should be able to export out a whole folder at a time.

    I honestly don't recall.  I'd have to figure it out myself, so I will leave you to do the same.

    I apologize for the short answer.

    I have spent about 20 minutes attempting to export all of my presets at once. I cannot figure out how to do it. I can export individual presets. I am hoping that someone can help me figure out how to do it.

    Alternatively, if someone knows where they are stores, I could perhaps drag and drop them into the appropriate cs5 folders.

    Thank you for your help.

    Mark

    It must be possible.  I did it here.

    You need to put the presets in their own bin.

    Exactly, like I suggested in post 3.

    Dude, I just fired up Premiere Pro.  All it takes is a right click on the folder.  You seriously couldn't figure that out?

    I can export single presets. I cannot figure out how to export the whole bin/folder. I apologize if I have not been sufficiently clear in my earlier postings.

    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I don't know how to apply your suggestion in a way that works.

    I apologize if I am not giving y'all the information that you need. I am doing my best.

     

    All of my presets are in their own bin.

    I have also created a new bin, then copied all of my presets to that bin.

    I still do not know how to export the whole bin, only the individual presets.

    when I right-click on the individual presets, the "export preset" option is available. This great and easy.

    when I right-click on the bin that contains all of my custom presets, the "export preset" is grayed out. I do not know how to get it to work.

    when I create a new preset bin, I don't get any import/export options in my right-click menu.

    I am open to trying anything, or reading an article. I am generally skilled at figuring these types of things out, but I am stumped here.

     

    Thanks

    Look closely at what lines are highlighted and where the presets reside.

    Even got Jim's presets.

    You didn't actually select the folder, you just right clicked without a selection.
