CS2 on PC to CS3 on Mac
I have a project created in Premiere Pro CS2 on a PC and I would like to open it in Premiere Pro CS3 on a Mac. Ideally I would like to open it in Final Cut, but I am assuming this type of transition is not possible. When I try to open it in CS3 on a Mac I get the following message:
This project was saved in a version prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options.

Here’s the problem. CS3 was the first version to be made for the Mac after they were went away from the platform years ago.
So I believe you will have to save it to a CS3 PC version first and you will be good to go. Don’t save it to CS4 on a PC since it’s not backward compatible.

Thanks. I will try it.
I’m doing this so I can take my Mac laptop to a post production facility and export a feature to digibeta. They don’t have premiere at their studio so I just thought I’d do it this way rather than re-creating the project in Final Cut. Will there be any problems or quality loss since Mac does not have a Microsoft DV codec? It seemed to work okay with a test AVI that I imported to the Mac.

1. Try to install CS3 on your PC, then save the project in different file name [for backup let’s say] it will be saved in CS3 format if you save it using CS3.
2. Try to open the file on CS3 on your mac. because since I updated the CS3 on Mac version, it can open my PC CS3 files… adobe updated it…Well it works for me… I’ve experienced it before…
