Can CS5.5 files be opened with CS5?

[Brian Charles]

You can save a copy as CS5…

Of course, anything that relies on features new in CS5.5 (like the Warp Stabilizer, improved Camera Lens Blur or DoF, or lighting fall-off) won’t translate.

Also, thanks to AE scripting genius Paul Tuersley (who must also be at least part mad scientist), you can move projects all the way back to CS3 courtesy of pt_OpenSesame [link]. Since it generates human-readable text project files, you can also use it for automation!
