25.6.1 'Newer Version of Premiere Pro' Issue

[BennyBlueSkies]

I have been working on a project since August 2025. Today I was in it this morning working and closed out to work on some other stuff. I noticed that Premiere had the update to 25.6.1, so I went ahead and updated the software.

Now, when I try to launch back into the same project from this morning, I am met with the 'Project was saved in a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro and cannnot be opened in this version.'

I've attached screenshots to show that I am on the latest versions, but I am not sure if this is an update bug or of something has gone wrong on my end.

The same problem, today, I can't open any file I worked on yesterday. I have updated Premiere to the newest version 25.6.2

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience! We’ve released an app that solves this problem by converting the v25.6.0-saved projects back to the v25 format. Please refer to this post to download this app & to know more about this issue. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
