Upgraded to CS3 from 1.5 & now all my old files need rendered (they previously didn’t)
I recently upgraded to Premiere Pro CS3 from 1.5, and when I try to open files I did a few months ago, the entire project now needs rendered. Plain video footage and all(not just the transitions and effects.)
I have tried copying and pasting them into a new cs3 project, opening them from a cs3 project and still no success. I really do not want to render 2 hours worth of footage if I absolutely do not have to. Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Finish project in 1.5, start fresh in CS3.

Thanks for the tip, but could you be a little more specific? I did finish the project, but when I tried to open it in CS3, it still needed a complete render.
Another piece of information that I should have probably shared was that when I upgraded to CS3, I also upgraded my motherboard, hard drives, and added a Matrox RT.X2 card. My current system also does not have premiere pro 1.5 on it anymore. Is there a setting, or process that I can do so that I don’t have to render plain footage?
Thanks!

What’s being said is you should always finish a project on the one system setup before you upgrade. Newer versions of PPRo do different things and some effects are not labelled the same so they get left off or things don’t quite appear the same. Especially from 1.5 to CS3.
– The Matrox is probably not installed properly. Uninstall all the software and the drivers. Reboot so the computer asks for the drivers of the card, but don’t install them. Install the software which will install the drivers with the software. Provided there is no other folders for PPro installs it will install the right stuff into the CS3 folders and should work. Otherwise the codecs are different and not native for RT.X2. Capture something with RT.X2 project… see if the hardware is working properly.
