Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book query

[Lindsay38828610w6fj]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can provide me some advice please. I am currently running Premiere Pro version 25.1 and unfortunately am unable to upgrade any further due to limitation on my PC (AVX2 not supported on my current machine which is a requirement for current versions.)

I have recently purchased Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book (2024 Release) to brush up on my skills, however upon starting Lesson 1 the Project Files will not open. A window opens with the words "This project was saved in a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version"

Does this really mean that I cannot even complete the workbook due to the limitations of my current Version 25.1 ?

Many thanks in advance.

You are saying you are running 25.1 which is the most current version of Premiere.

There is no upgrade (yet) besides the beta.

Hi Ann, thanks for your response. I have checked again and I was incorrect, I am actually running Ver 23.6.8 (Build 4). I am unable to update due to the reasons stated in my original post. So again, does this mean that the Classroom in a Book projects have been created in a newer version that is not compatible with my current version? Many thanks again.

That is correct: you cannot use 2024 projects in 2023.

But however, you can down convert the 2024 projects so they can be used in 2023.

Try opening a new project in 25.1 and then import the project.
