Hello folks,

Ich habe a Projekt, realized with the latest Premiere Version. Now a friend of mine wants to open it with Pro CC2017. How can I solve that problem?

Thanks

    Not ... easily. There's never been a  backward-importing process in PrPro. There's been a ton of changes since the 11.x builds of 2017, including major changes within Lumetri settings, jeepers ... the EGP graphics/mogrts stuff and ESP sound stuff ... none of which will revert to 2017.

    You can go to the SpeedGrade forum, and look for post by me on 'hacking' the version of a PrPro project file to be able to use a newer PrPro project in SpeedGrade with the old 'Direct Link' process active. That's what you'd need to do. The number you change ... if you're on 2019/13.x, you would look at that number and subtract two. So if say the current was "36", you would replace that with "34". It will be somewhere around that.

    I've provided the link to that discussion below.

    And to revert to the newer version, go back into the header as before, changing the number back.

    As far as I know, you may not save a project file to be compatible with an older version

    Your only option is to export an XML file for the other person to read... but I don't think XML captures "everything" that is in a project
