I can't imagine there is a solution for this but opening an older project file with the most recent update does not create a new project file, it converts the original file. On MacOS 10.12.6, working from a NAS server.

if you want to maintain a copy of the older version, copy or duplicate the file and only open one of the copies in ae cc 2018.

Sure, but that isn't what the convert dialogue states.

After Effects: this project must be converted from version 14.2 (Macintosh 64). The original file will be unchanged.

For premiere it functions as normal, a copy is created and that copy is converted.

1. you open an older version in cc 2018

2. you save your file from cc 2018 with a new name (different from the file you opened)

3. your original file is no longer an older version (so you have two cc 2018 formatted files; the original file and the one with a new name)

if yes to 1,2 and 3 - report the bug or post on the after effects forum to see if you can get more info there; Feature Request/Bug Report Form
