  Problem opening projects after Migrating to new MAC

  Greetings ~

  I am a new Premiere Pro 5.5 user and not well skilled at the complex functionality of editing systems. So, please bear with me if my inexperience is showing.

  I have been editing projects in Premiere Pro 5.5 on an iMac. I recently upgraded to:

  MacPro3,1
  Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 1
  Total Number Of Cores: 4
  L2 Cache: 12 MB
  Memory: 6 GB
  2TB RAID 0
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

  I used Migration Assistant to transfer files from iMac to MacPro. When I try to open any one of these projects I get this error message:

  “This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be asssociated with this sequence type.”

  I wonder if there are further steps I need to take after migration. Or, if the transfer from one computer to the next caused a problem.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  THANKS ~ L

  Please bear with me if this seems like a silly question: did you use Migration Assistant to move your applications as well?

  If you did, I don’t believe that’s advised for Adobe CS applications and I’d manually re-install them. You need some system-wide support for codecs/formats which wouldn’t necessarily get transferred over with Migration Assistant.
