    Compatability between CS4 and CS5 PPro?

    cooleon Community Member

      Hi

       

      I'm working off CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash, Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing too complicated.

       

      I work with someone who will eventually create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.

       

      If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible?

       

      Also, if I want to then adjust that flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems?

       

      Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4)

       

      Thanks

          If you are dealing with Exported files, there should not be any issues.

           

          If you are dealing with the Project files (PRPROJ), then there is a one-way street, that usually works, but that will depend on what is used in the CS4 Projects. One can usually Open, or Import a CS4 Project into CS5, but it will be converted, so that converted Project will never likely open in CS4. Also, CS5 created Projects will never likely Open in CS4.

           

          With Exported AV files, there should not be an issue.

           

          Good luck,
