Suddenly my computer doesn't want to open my project, which I have already worked for several weeks and it's been working fine. Now it informs that the file is not eligible and I should update my window from version 8.1 to 10. But why it suddenly stopped? Is it because of same changes that seems to hapen to the program? There is no more all the options that used to be for HD resolutions for video?

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

Thanks! I have to try that. But if I can't open the sequence, it is like starting all over again. I have Premiere CC on another computer, so if I bring averything to that computer, I hope I can open the sequence. But still it is much job, because I have to make new links to every file in another computer?

OK that changes the picture quite a bit.

For clarity then, I understand you wish to open a Pr CC project with an earlier version.

You'll have to export your timeline as XML.

Here's a link on how to do it.

You'll find the steps all the way at the bottom of the thread.

Try openin the latest autosaved file from the Adobe Premiere Autosave Folder.

 

You'll find it in the same folder where you have your project saved.

Hi! I already tried that. The same result, the project file is unsuitable because of sequence, which is built up by newier program. Which is not. Thanks for answer anyway.
