Move custom settings and presets from CS6 to CC

[Patrick Simpson]

After some research I found three of my four items. I haven’t figured out how to transfer Custom Sequence Presets yet.

Custom keyboard layouts: (copied from https://forums.adobe.com/message/5420587#5420587)
Copy your .kys file from
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0
and paste to
/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile-[username]/Mac

Custom Workspaces:
Copy “UserWorkspace1.xml”, etc. from
/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0/Layouts
Paste to:
/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile-[username]/Layouts

Effect Presets:
Copy your “Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset” file from
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0
and paste to
/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile-[username]/Mac

Other Preferences:
Copy the “Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs” file from and to the same directories to move settings like default transition lengths and other preferences.

Custom export settings (for Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder):

Hi Patrick –

Did you ever figure out how to move custom sequence settings from PP CS6 to CC? I’m going through the same transition and issues now and was wondering if you found a solution?

Also – any idea how to move custom Title Styles presets from CS6 to CC?

Thanks!

Copy and paste your custom sequence settings found here:

/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0/Settings/Custom
and paste to:
/Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0/Profile-[username]/Settings/Custom

I haven’t dealt with custom Title Styles presets but you may find them in these same directories.

Sort of embarrassed to mention how long I looked for those things and never thought to look in the Documents folder, even though I knew there was a Premiere folder in there. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction – this absolutely was the right answer.

The Title Styles were in there, too, so I’m all set. Thanks, Patrick.

No problem, they’re not always easy to find.
