Hello, I need an urgent help!!

 

I've been working on a project for like 5 days, it is a 2 hours and 30 minutes full course, on Adobe Premiere Pro Beta. When I opened Premiere this morning and opening the project, a message popped up saying " The Project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." 

I need an actual help or my entire work for the last 5 days will be gone for nothing.

 

Ps: I tried to open one of the Autosave Projects, it also shows the same message. 

 

Thank you

    Beta is at your own risk and guessing you did not make backups. Just relying on auto save. Auto save can get messed up too.


    Not sure if you can still convert projects to older versions.

    Open a New Premiere Pro Project on an Older Version -Mac - YouTube

    Open a New Premiere Pro Project on an Older Version - Windows - YouTube

    Moved to beta forum.

     

    You do need to realize beta is what it is: beta, and advised not to use for important projects.

    Try and open in 23.5 or 23.3 if you're not already updated to 24.0.

      I tried to open it in Premiere Pro 23.2.0, it popped a message says " This project was saved in a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version "
