Premiere 2020 downgrade project?

[anyeyin]

Hello,

I accidentally upgraded Premiere from 2019 to 2020 and saved the project with PR 2020.  Now I wanted to open the project in PR 2019 but I just couldn't find the way....

I tired this way to manually downgrade the project:

https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/3804/how-do-i-downgrade-an-adobe-premiere-pro-project-file...

But it still didn't work. When I opened the downgraded project with PR 2020, it said the project is damaged. Although I know this way works fine in downgrading 2019 to 2018.

Is exporting XML the only way?? Can anyone help?

Thank!!

Might not have done the downgrading correctly:

Open a New Premiere Pro Project on an Older Version! Mac

Open a New Premiere Pro Project on an Older Version! Windows

exporting as an xml is another way.

Or use the last saved copy in 2019.

Just worked it out!

The "DeNoiser (Obsolete)" audio effect might not be applicable to PR 2020. When I removed this effect and then downgraded the project, it worked!

but when I can't open the file how would I remove the audio effect ??

Thank you so much. You saved me from all the stressful work. 🙂 I succeded to open 2020 project file on 2019 after deleting the denoise audio effects. So the denoise effect is not applicable to PR 2019, I guess.

Hi, how did you delete the "DeNoiser" audio effect? Thanks!
