Update from 24.7 to 25.0

[misaki_david]

sorry it's update from 23.6 to 24.0

Moved to Beta forum.

I can confirm this behavior.

[misaki_david]

Thanks !

See my post here: I thought at first it was the Project File version change from 41 (Beta 23.6) to 42 (Beta 24.0.0). But I get the regular warning when opening a Beta 23.6.0.56 project in Beta 24.0.0.23. So I suspect either a random bug or that there is in fact something "outdated" that was removed....

Others report getting this damaged message in a project created in Beta 24.0.0.22 in Build 23.

Thanks !

I actually don't know the previous version's number.

I just saved my file yesterday, and pr beta just automatically updated today, then it occurred.

I tried to update windows and gpu driver , but it just not working .

Thanks God, i have a half finished file that created from non-beta pr.

Now, i have to do my work again.

After I installed Premiere Beta version 24 this morning I can no longer open any of my previous beta projects.  Any.  I keep getting an error mesage stating:

The project cannot be loaded, it may be damaged or contain out dated elements.

Then the program will not continue.

I tried reinstalling the Premiere Beta 23.6 which I had previously used and as I tried to open the project, I received another error message that the file had been saved by a newer version of Premiere Beta and the file could not be opened.  I have over 10 sequences in this file and do not want to loose it.

Help.  I am using a PC.

See posts in the Beta forum. This appears to be an issue in Build 23.

A problem was discovered with the project files saved by Pr Beta 24.0x17 through 24.0x22. An attempt to fix this in 24.0x23 caused a crash when opening the projects. There is a further fix in Pr Beta 24.0x24 and these projects should now open without a crash. Please reply on the thread if you continue to see issues with these projects.

How can I get this version
Pr Beta 24.0x24

[Stan Jones]

It will appear in the Cloud Desktop updates. It is not yet available as of a few minutes ago.

Is there any way to roll back? I am not seeing options in the CC, nor an option to uninstall the BETA. 

[mats4d]

no, 😞 all you can do is downgrade your project with this : http://downgrader.elements.tv/

then install 23.6 and continue working until they fix it..

still awaiting for the 24.x.x.24 version to be posted, nothing on CC yet

@georgef17567994 

Very daring to use a Beta for Government projects!

There is no support for using the Beta: all at your own risk.

UPDATE: I just updated to 24.0.0.25 and was able to get back into my projects. 

[georgef17567994]

I always back my projects up as I run both release and beta versions so no issues just inconvenience as I was doing some work in the Beta version perfectly ok..Quit program and launch next day and MESSAGE OF DETH APPERS ON MY SCREEN 🤣...I'm sorted as I just continued and completed my edit on Premiere Pro release 👌🏾👊🏾

[daviddonihue]

I have updated beta 

I have updated ventura

My projects won't open, are there other hidden updates

this is hell. You guys shut off the ability to assign virtual memory, so it made it so anything that used over 13 gig (basically all prkjects) would not export i upgrade and now none of my project files will work. I am on 24.0.0 build 34. Mac M1 Premiere beta

THIS WORKS ✔: All you can do is downgrade your project with this : http://downgrader.elements.tv/

Hi Geaorge, that site does not open anything but a blank page for me. Desperate.

[ahmeta97148589]

I wanted to try this as well but the website accepts up to 50 mb my projecti s70mb

[Ann Bens]

Website is useless for projects over 50 Mb.

This is how we have been doing it for years.
