Problem importing PremPro 1.0 project into CS3
We recently restored an old Premiere Pro 1.0 project to CS3. Project files were identical to the original. Same folder structure, same drive letter etc.
Problem is, the project imports but doesn’t correctly reassociate clips or conform/resample the music (it was originally 44kz music). Project settings are the same on CS3, except for the fact that we’re using Blackmagic codecs rather than the original Canopus ones. Pixel aspect, frame rate, audio bit depth etc. are all the same. The project is entirely photos, graphics and supers.
The project bin also doesn’t list the location of the missing files. So we have to go through the timeline and replace each one, clip by clip, stopping to search for the files in explorer (there are hundreds of photos and supers in dozens of product specific folders). So my questions:
1. Why CS3 finds some files, but not others, when nothing has changed from this project and it’s folder/file structure originally done in PP1?
2. Why CS3 doesn’t recognize the music is 44kz, and automatically conform it to the project’s settings of 48kz? We had to resample the music in Sound Forge to get it load in CS3.
3. Why CS3 doesn’t show the location, (path/filename etc. the way After Effects does) of the various clips?
I posted this question a couple weeks back but got no resposnes so thought I’d try again. Is this just a quirk or is this something that is common when importing an old Premiere project into CS3?
Thanks in advance.

So I’m the only person this has ever happened to? It happened on not just one… but TWO separate projects originally created in Premiere Pro 1.0 about 3 years ago. All files where in the exact same folder structures. Our editor did correct me in saying the files were on different drive letters than the original, but it that still doesn’t explain why some files loaded into the timeline, and others did not.
Thanks…
