Broken production Conversion - Premiere Pro BETA v26.0.0.039 (2025-11-22)

[lukeripa]

Hello, despite having activated Object Masking thus uograding Premiere from 25.6 to 26.0 weeks ago when you launched the function, the software doesn't recognize the production as 26.0 and asks to upgrade it, only to crash the software right at the end of the conversion.

When relaunching Premiere Beta, I try to select the newly created production but once again prompts me to convert it.

I already had this issue when I activated Object masking, but I fixed it by renaming the production correctly (that version converted it to 25.6 instead of 26.0.0 so i just changed the Production Folder's name).

This literally locks me away from using the production. Please find a fix.

This happened with latest update - Premiere Pro BETA v26.0.0.039 (2025-11-22).

Sorry for the formatting but you also have an HTML formatting bug in community - when creating a new post I can't modify the 'wrong HTML code', despite just writing text.

I'm on Win11-24H2. 

Beta 26.0.0 b39

Using an already converted 2026 .prproj it did ask me again to convert the Production to 2026, after that it works as expected. (Maybe there was something addtional it had to add to the Production/Project)?

Yeah it's not doing so to me. I had to revert to the previous BETA version to get it working.
