Will the new Premiere Pro CC 2015 be able to open CC 2014.x projects?

[Walter Biscardi]

Yes. Why wouldn’t it?

Well, if I recall correctly, CC 8.x (=2014.x) doesn’t open CC 7.x, but I may be wrong.

Never heard that, we haven’t had any sort of issue opening older projects forward. It’s moving newer projects backwards that you can’t do. You have to use XML for that.

Well, back again.

“there is a bug with the current version of premiere which can corrupt project files from older versions”

So?

hi Yair,

I didn’t read the forum post you linked to but when you open an older project with a newer version of Premiere Pro, you are automatically prompted to save “AS” in order to preserve the original project version.

We always open older projects but as Walter stated, you can’t open newer version projects with older versions of Premiere Pro.

HTH,

Thanks Dennis.
That forum post I’ve linked to now has the added info about that specific bug:
You need to make sure you turn off Import Workspaces from Project in the Workspace before converting.

I guess there’s still no guaranty.

This in fact implies that one should finish all projects before upgrading, or at least keep the old version until they’re finished

Major releases install alongside older releases, so you can choose to keep both versions on your system as long as you like.

I just upgraded from 2014 to 2015 cc. I can’t open my old project unless I convert. when I open the sequence and try to reset the preference to the project scratch disc it crashes. My entire mac book pro also had to be shut down because my safari froze.

So I thought I start a new project on 2015 but it won’t let me start anything!!!

I read in another forum people having similar problems but the solutions were not clear….

Any idea? I am trying to move from FCP 7 to PP …I find this program very finicky and full of trouble…
