i'd guess that you can't.
- violaine0
really?
not one single way i can pass that file to someone?
- airey0
doubt it. cs5 has been a massive upgrade apparently. still, i'm googling away for you and will get back if there is a way. just bought the cs5 upgrade today as it happens.

what's the problems though, does the project have to be supplied to a client? can you not supply a mov and they add stuff over the top? what's occuring basically?
- airey0
have you tied saving the file as XML?
- airey0
ok. still looking for a definite solution but we're getting warmer.

sorry man, gotta move on but it's not looking great.
maybe check out xml meta data also?
- violaine0
the project has to b retouched by someone who doesnt have AE CS5

I had this problem a while ago, I found something on the Adobe forums that involved replacing some weird characters when opening the file with a text editor and it didn't work.
I had to download the CS5 demo and finished the project within 30 days. I still haven't upgraded to this day.
Good luck!

miguex has it right. getting the demo version is the only way out.
