no, 😞 all you can do is downgrade your project with this : http://downgrader.elements.tv/

then install 23.6 and continue working until they fix it..

 

still awaiting for the 24.x.x.24 version to be posted, nothing on CC yet

Is there any way to roll back? I am not seeing options in the CC, nor an option to uninstall the BETA.

It will appear in the Cloud Desktop updates. It is not yet available as of a few minutes ago.

A problem was discovered with the project files saved by Pr Beta 24.0x17 through 24.0x22. An attempt to fix this in 24.0x23 caused a crash when opening the projects. There is a further fix in Pr Beta 24.0x24 and these projects should now open without a crash. Please reply on the thread if you continue to see issues with these projects.

After I installed Premiere Beta version 24 this morning I can no longer open any of my previous beta projects.  Any.  I keep getting an error mesage stating:

The project cannot be loaded, it may be damaged or contain out dated elements.

Then the program will not continue.

I tried reinstalling the Premiere Beta 23.6 which I had previously used and as I tried to open the project, I received another error message that the file had been saved by a newer version of Premiere Beta and the file could not be opened.  I have over 10 sequences in this file and do not want to loose it.

Help.  I am using a PC.

See posts in the Beta forum. This appears to be an issue in Build 23.

Thanks !

I actually don't know the previous version's number.

I just saved my file yesterday, and pr beta just automatically updated today, then it occurred.

I tried to update windows and gpu driver , but it just not working .

Thanks God, i have a half finished file that created from non-beta pr.

Now, i have to do my work again.

See my post here: I thought at first it was the Project File version change from 41 (Beta 23.6) to 42 (Beta 24.0.0). But I get the regular warning when opening a Beta 23.6.0.56 project in Beta 24.0.0.23. So I suspect either a random bug or that there is in fact something "outdated" that was removed....

 

Others report getting this damaged message in a project created in Beta 24.0.0.22 in Build 23.

 

See this post:

Moved to Beta forum.

I can confirm this behavior.
