Posted by Angel Nieves on July 8, 2025 at 10:03 amHello All,
I need to convert an aep file done with the latest version of AE to 2021 AE. Wondering if anyone will do me the solid. Would greatly appreciate it.

July 8, 2025 at 3:27 pmBro this is your lucky day, so this is the solution:
-Every AE version is able to dowgrade projects by about 2 versions back,
so all you need to do is:
-install AE 2025 and AE 2023
-open the 25 project in 25 and then click on:
File–save as–save a copy as 23.0
then open the project on AE 23 and downgrade it again to 18.0 as in the screeshot below
have a nice day bro and lemme know if you enjoy the help! <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>️🔥

July 8, 2025 at 3:42 pmThanks for you help, but I don’t understand. If I could install 2025, I would use that.

July 8, 2025 at 5:24 pmI am assuming you are running an older Mac.
I use a slew of Mac Pro 2019, 2024 and still have my trusty Mac Pro 2013.
So I still need to keep older versions on the 2013. -

July 9, 2025 at 2:54 pmJust a heads up that in 2025x I got an odd warning on color space.
I have never seen that before.
I just press cancel, I didnt bother to read on.

July 10, 2025 at 4:06 pmHi Eric, thanks so much for your help. Do you think you can downgrade one last one? I promise this is the last one. Since I’m asking, I should explain the circumstances. I got this drive with a project that I’m now working on, and I don’t have the latest AE version. My computer is too old to install it. Today, I found a hidden AE file on that drive that again I can’t open. It caught me by surprise, I didn’t know it was there. I would be grateful if you could downgrade this one also. Last one, I promise. It’s attached. And thank you so much!
