Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and 6 creative suite projects compatibility with Premiere Pro CC.

Make a copy of the project file and import the copy, just in case the project gets corrupted (not likely, but possible).

@LakhbirS,

I agree with Ann. I did this 5 years ago on some very old projects, some of which were in even earlier versions. Some had been updated to CS5/6.

Titles are a special case. PR 2025 will give you a warning that any legacy titles will be converted to graphics. This might work okay. If it does not, IF you have an older version of CC, you can try to import the old project there, and convert/redo the legacy titles.

In my case, the titles were so old they used TitleDeko (spelling?) and were bascially offline files. I had old copies of the final movies, and took screengrabs to replace the title. Of course, you might be redoing the titles entirely.

The other problem is I captured many of the files with the Pinnacle DV500 capture card, which used a proprietary hardware codec. My post asking for options is still here in the forum:

Open new project in CC and import old project.

Might lose some effects/transitions along the way as CC is quite different from CS.

Make sure you do not have any plugins used in the old projects.
