Missing Filter
Hi,
I’m using CS3 Production Premium and recompiling a project someone else created in a previous version (I’m not sure which version, I guess CS2 as it is an HDV project).
This project involves a fair amount of chroma keying and when I open the project file I get an error message saying: Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE Legacy Key GreenScreen.
I am not given the opportunity to select a different filter on start up and obviously they keying has failed. So I’m wondering if it’s possible to lay my hands on this legacy filter and, if so, how to install/load it.
Or, is there a better/easier workaround? The original editor doesn’t have Ultra and, though I do, I’d rather not have to re-key everything.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks,
Guy

You have to rekey everything using the “Color Key” filter. There is no more Green Screen filter in Premiere Pro, past version 2.0 (which you called CS2, but there was no CS2, it was just 2.0)
At any rate, you cannot take the greenscreen filter from the 2.0 plugin dir and put it into the CS3 dir. It will not work. YOu have to either rekey using ‘color key’ filter, or install Premiere Pro 2.0 and finish the project in there if you do not want to redo any work.

Thanks for the reply. They call the thing a legacy filter and I got my hopes up high that there might be some backwards compatability! Oh well.
