Can I open an older Premiere file in the latest Premiere Pro version 14.7

[#1]

Hi,

I'm thinsking about updating to the latest version os Premiere, but don't kow if I can open older files. Is there a way of saving the files so that it will open on a upgraded version?

I'm  currently working on a Mac using Premiere Pro CC Version 12.0.0 and thinking updating to Pro version 14.7

Thanks,

Marta

You can always open old projects using newer Premiere Pro versions but not vice versa

When opening older version files, it is wise to first create a new project file in the new version.

Then from the Media Browser panel in Premiere, navigate to the older project file, and select it. Right-click, import the assets of that project into the new one. It seems to do a better job of keeping all metadata structured correctly.
