CS5 not recognising video from CS4 project

Hi, has anyone else come across the problem I have?

I open a CS4 built project in CS5, It says it has to convert things to be compatible, after it has done its thing, It asks for the link to the first video file in the project. I navigate to the folder that has the raw footage I edited with, then try to link to the video file. I get this message:

'The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original files type (audio and video)'

This happens for every file i want to link to.

I see another link on Creative cow with same problem (2011) without any answers, hoping reviving the problem in a new thread will bring answers.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Can you tell us the format of the source clips?

Also, rather than opening the CS4 project, have you tried to create a NEW project in CS5, and IMPORT the old project into it?

Thanks

The Indeo codec is a 32-bit codec, so the 32-bit Premiere Pro CS4 can see and use it. You need a 64-bit codec for the 64-bit CS5 application.
