I just tried the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 and it expired yesterday. I was still working on my project and no notification was there to notice me that the version is about to end. I went on the next day and it told me to purchase.

1. Is there a way that I can access just to export it out and not having to purchase?

2. If there is no solution to number 1., then can I just purchase one month then leave?

I'm having this issue right now. Did you ever figure out a solution?

Hi KakoSCCF:

For "option 1", you can use a different Adobe ID on the same computer. There's no need to switch to another one. You'll just sign out of the current one (that has an expired trial period) and sign into the other.

With Premiere Pro, the project files are not tied to the Adobe ID, so it can be opened with any active version of Premiere Pro that's the same version of Premiere Pro or newer. Using File > Open Project... from the Fill pulldown menu should allow you to open the project file as expected.

Premiere Rush, on the other hand, saves project files that are tied to the Adobe ID.

Maybe consider option 3: Start a chat with Adobe and request an extension to the trial for your current Adobe ID.

Or maybe consider option 4: That is, go ahead and subscribe to Premiere Pro and then cancel within 14-days for a full refund. You may find this article by ProDesignTools to be helfpul if you choose to take this approach: https://prodesigntools.com/double-adobe-free-trials.html

It sounds like you're not doing enough video editing to need full access to Premiere Pro. Have you considered switching to Premiere Rush? There's a Starter Plan that's free and then Rush only that's $10 a month.

Then there's Option 5: Explore free options provided by other software publishers: You might check out Blackmagic Davinci Resolve (there's a free version and a $300 Studio version) or Avid Media Composer First (a free, but limted version of Avid's subscription versions that start at $24/month). One of these may meet your video editing needs.
