Camera RAW presets not compatible with Canon R5 files

As a professional photography studio we have developed hundreds of presets that we use constantly in our RAW workflow. Presets were previously used on the Canon EOS 5DSr.

 

However when opening .CR3 files from Canon R5 in Adobe Camera Raw 95% of all our presets are not compatible with the images. This also affects all presets from VSCO cam. 

 

I'm wondering why or what it is that would make these presets work with one Canon camera file and not another? Is there any solution from Adobe that would make these presets compatible? Or do we need to  throw all that previous work in the trash and start from scratch developing presets?

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by: our presets are not compatible with the images.

What used to work (show examples) and what's different now (what you feel isn't working).

So for example our VSCO presets would convert the image colors into a film look e.g. Fuji 160. It would't make sense to show you an example - as you would just see an image rendered with incorrect colours.

But I'm still unsure what you're doing, what isn't working. See elie's reply below. Camera specific DCP profiles rolled into a preset can only be used with that exact camera. Unsure if that's the case or not so more clarity is needed.

It is preferable for you to use the website, and include the images in your messages. It's easier to view them that way.

Profiles for Raw files are camera specific, i. e. they can be used for only one camera model. So any preset that contains a profile setting will similarly be valid only for the appropriate camera.
