Well, I have the problem solved through a friend, but... well, I don't think this should be the way. The problem with this is that with each version back it would go, it takes exponentially more testing and development time to get the backwards-compatibility to work properly. You know, it wasn't that long ago that AE didn't let you save back at all. The fact that we can do this even one version at a time is great! The After Effects team is very small and there is only a finite amount of work that can be done each month. I would like to see them put their time into making After Effects more stable, MORE FAST, with a better workflow, and with better features (things that we would use daily) rather than to have them spend months on testing backwards-compatability that so few of us would ever use (and only rarely when we did).
