Hi 

I have a downloaded project file that I can't seem to get opened. The first message I get when I try to oprn it is that it was created on an older version and would need to be reformated. Select Ok. Then it can't locate the files so I select the folder from my downloads and then it says they are not compbatible. I can usually find a tutorial for issues but nothing for this, anyone?

Try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Sometimes it helps to keep your media offline until the project loads.

When it prompts you to link footage, click Cancel instead.


Then, when the project file loads, select all your media and go to File > Link Media.
