I wish the Beta team would notify us of when a change is made to the project file that will make it incompataible with the release version

 

Premiere Pro projects are portable, within a major version.

24.1 can open a 24.9 project. However, 24.9 cannot open a 25.0 project.

I wish the Beta team would notify us of when a change is made to the project file that will make it incompataible with the release version.  The most noticeable place would be in the Creative Cloud app, and even a popup that forces acknolwedgement that the project files will not be compatible with the public version for a time.

 

Of course the tipoff is whan you open a legacy project and it has to make a _1 copy, but that doesn't alert if making a new project.

The reason why it can't be opened by a lower version is because it does not have the beta release features. For example if you use the Photoshop Beta and use all the AI features that the Pro version does not have, how will it handle opening those files? it is frustrating but makes sense, i guess it can flatten the layers that are using beta features, but they dont do that.

At present, the Beta version (24.1) is a higher project file (.prproj) version than the Release version 23.6. You cannot open a file saved in Beta 24.1 in 23.6. As soon as a new version is released, I think they will be compatible again.

 

You can downgrade the project file or use other methods to try to convert. I can't find a link at the moment.
