Please stop making it so difficult to work with different Premiere-versions!

How do you do a parallel install?

上位バージョンの新機能が反映されないのは仕方がない。それ以外の基本的な編集データを維持したまま下位のヴァージョンでも開ける状態にして欲しい。
It can not be helped that the new version of the new version is not reflected. I want you to be able to open even the lower versions while maintaining other basic editing data.

Adobe Premiereのバージョン間の下位互換性を考慮してください。
私たち全員が異なるバージョンのプロジェクトを持っていて、そのうちの1人が新しいバージョンのプロジェクトで作成したプロジェクトを開いたり編集したりすることができない場合、会社やクライアント以外の人とプロジェクトを共同で行うことは非常に困難です。 同じソフトウェアなのに。 これは信じられないほど制限的で、この制限は必要ありません。

Please allow for backwards compatibility between versions of Adobe Premiere. It is very difficult to work on a project with different people in a company, or outside client, when we all have different versions of a project & one of us can't open or edit a project created in a "newer" version of the same software. This is unnecessary & incredibly limiting.

Totally agree!

FYI I found this today and I am sharing it everywhere I can!

I agree that this would be amazing!

FYI You can use this tool as well http://www.joshcluderay.com/downgrade-premiere-project-converter/ or manually revert it with the instructions in this post - https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/3804/how-do-i-downgrade-an-adobe-premiere-pro-project-file-to-open-in-older-version/21365#21365

We should be able to save down to the last version of the software and here's why.

• RISK: installing and working only from the latest version of adobe software is very risky with all the hidden bugs that happen every major update.

• FILE SHARING: not everyone takes said risk and works to the latest update.

• FILE RECOVERY: like the situation I'm in now, I worked 20 hours on a project that only now will crash every time it's opened. I have a minute which would be long enough to save a file but is not workable.

• PROMOTES STAYING UP TO DATE: if users can save down, the risk is lessened and promotes more users to provide valuable user data.

Saving to XML: This option does not save applied effects reliably which can mean hours added to the project deadline.

This feature has been needed and requested for over 3 years now. Other adobe softwares have had this feature for over 10. It's time...

Ability so save a project for a previous version of Premiere. The same way After Effects does.

Honestly, the most simple solution to this is to just have Premiere be able to convert newer project files to be compatible with older versions of Premiere. If I open a newer project in an older version, instead of just telling me "You can't open this."... give me an option to convert it so that it's openable, even if that means getting rid of some features in the project or whatever it would entail. Just offer some kind of automatic solution so that your customers who need some kind of solution don't have to go searching for workarounds. It really shouldn't be so complicated.

It could function as more of an import than an open. Some new features and effects won't work, but the majority of the core edit information doesn't change year to year.

A legacy save ability would be nice (Illustrator can do this, After Effects too to a lesser extent), but to truly alleviate the issue for most users, we really need to be able to open newer versions without having to open in the latest version. Ideally we can just open the project (probably being prompted to re-save somewhere new like when we open old projects) and get warnings about anything that doesn't translate. Not perfect, but an improvement over having projects be stuck in the versions they started in. It could also be a separate utility since that wouldn't require an update to all previous versions of Premiere.

Bigger picture, it would be good for project types to change only when absolutely necessary, not just with every version release.
