Hi there.
There´s something about that here:
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/pi3_ae7/video-tutorial.php
It´s about altering keyframe data from AE7 to serve AE 6.5 but I really don´t know if it works from 5 to CS3.
Maybe that´s a starting point or just a huge wall that says: NO WAY MATE!
’cause I think the way AE writes this data has changed a bunch from 5 to 8…
But anyway this came to my mind when I read your question.
Hope it was of some (maybe little but sum) help.
Cheers.
(some of the masters might have a better answer)

Thank for your Answer!
Yeah, i already know this Tutorial and have already tried to use this method (add “Transform ” before the words position, rotation etc), too. But it doesn’t works…so i hope somebody could help me?greetings from germany

-Open the file in notepad
-Change “After Effects 5.0 Keyframe” Data to “Adobe After Effects 8.0 Keyframe Data”
-Copy all text
-Paste onto cameraAfter Effects will now accept the keyframe data.
When I did this, it didn’t work perfectly. However, this was the first time I have ever done 3d motion tracking, and I don’t think I did the best job. That may be why. Tell me if this works for you.
