I'm trialling Premiere CS6 and there are loads of presets missing on the sequences! XDCAM, Red, AVCHD, Canon.... all missing! Any suggestions appreciated. I have CS5 and that's all fine!

    The updating didn't work for me, and it hasn't for many other people either.

    I have CS3 on the same pc which has HDV and XDCAM presets so I tried copying the XDCAM HD folder to C:Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro CS6/Settings (after backing up the original folder). I changed the file extension from prpreset to sqpreset. Rebooted, but it didn't work!

    I have read many forum articles about this problem, and my conclusions are:-

    1. None of the Adobe fixes work. They may work for some people, but not on a permanent basis.

    2. Why has Adobe chosen to stop something working that has worked since CS3 up to 5.5?

    3. It affects both the trial and the full versions.

    4. Unless Adobe or a third party fixes this problem they will lose a massive amount of revenue, and antagonise thousands of people. Less and less editors will choose to use PPro or stay with older versions that work!

    Can I try installing PPro CS6 on a pc with 32bit XP OS just to check if all the presets appear?

    No.  Beginning with CS5, Premiere Pro is a 64 bit app and needs a 64 bit Operating System.

    The solution is to make sure your software is activated.  Without that, you lose those presets.  So the questions becomes why do you keep losing activation?

    Same problem here. Uninstalling all adobe software didn't help. Fiddling with the cache file didn't help either.. (win7x64).

    Please verify that your copy of Premiere Pro is activated online. This is essential in making sure this content is properly installed.

    Yes, they are MPEG based and latch on to your already installed CoDecs from your old versions. You will have to deactivate your CS5 temporaily to make them work. Off hand I'm not sure, but I believe some of the CoDecs will still remain unavailble then due to licensing restrictions. A lot of that has been lifted in CS5.5, but not all. some stuff requires a serial number. And then of course the usual: If you use any other CoDecs on your system that handle these file types, they may interfere and may need to be uninstalled.

    I had a very helpful email from a techie friend which I'll share. It's ridiculously easy to fix this as it turns out. Search out the "cache.db" file and delete it. Next time you run Premiere it regenerates and suddenly everything is available. Soooo simple. And relax....
