Are Adobe Premeire Pro 1.5 projects/files compatible with CS3/CS4?

[guns1inger]

You should be able to open them, assuming you have updated versions of any plugins you have used as well.

However if you save them out from CS3/4, you may not be able to load the same projects back into PP1.5

Anyone else know whether Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 project/files work with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 or CS4?

I have one big Premiere Pro 1.5 project that is not yet completed when my computer crashed and if it won't work in CS3/CS4 then I'll need to keep Premiere Pro 1.5 and install XP Home on my new computer.
Computer is arriving this Thursday and XP retail CD is arriving Tuesday. This will help me determine whether I send back the XP retail CD to amazon.

I would stick with XP regardless

I would stick with XP regardless

Reason?

I may decide to stick with Vista and get an academic version of Premiere Pro CS4 (or commercial version of CS3 on eBay, transfer liscense). Too bad I already purchased XP retail CD. Now I may have to sell it.

I could not find answers on whether Pro 1.5 would work with CS3/CS4. The only thing I found was that some effects that was in 1.5 may not be available in CS3/CS4. However, I just got my new computer, downloaded the trial of CS4 and I am able to open Premiere Pro 1.5 project in CS4. Effects that I use (cross dissolve) is still available. So no problems there. When you open a Pro 1.5 project in CS4, it tells you that the project was created in an earlier version of Premiere and that it would need to be converted.
