Please allow backwards compatibility between previous & newer versions of Premiere.
Please allow for backwards compatibility between versions of Adobe Premiere. It is very difficult to work on a project with different people in a company, or outside client, when we all have different versions of a project & one of us can't open or edit a project created in a "newer" version of the same software. This is unnecessary & incredibly limiting.

This limitation is such a nuisance! There is no reason whatsoever to prevent opening any older version project in Premiere. I work between two systems, which have different Premiere versions installed and EACH time I have to downgrade a project using this lifesaving online service: http://joshcluderay.com/downgrade-premiere-project-converter/

This causes us no end of issues when upgrading systems across the estate - I would be happy for this feature to exclude unsupported features when traveling backwards, usually these new features haven't been used anyway.

It's absolutely ridiculous having to export to FINAL CUT XML to move edit's between different Premiere users.

Hello Everyone,
I am experiencing a very difficult time on this subject. Really appreciate the help
I was using Yosemite with adobe cc 2015 on my mac, however I've dropped by laptop last week and to be able to save it Mac Team had to format it.
And also they upgrade it to Sierra.
Luckly, I was keeping the back up of my premiere project in a hard drive.
Once my laptop arrived I downloed adobe cc 2015 to be able to open the projects, but it was giving me the warning:
The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version.
I thought so maybe I download the old version of 2015 so I've downloaded the highest version of cc 2015.
But it gave me the same warning:
The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version.
Then, because this is my feature film that I was working on it for 3 years. I started to panic and I download the Premiere pro cc 2017. I thought... This can't be older than the 2015 version I was using.
But No!
But it gave me the same warning:
The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version.
I contacted with adobe support team, they can't understant the reason and they couldn't find a solution other than exporting as XML.
Which is very difficult for my project because I have 40 different projects file.
I used this website downgraded my files : Premiere Pro Downgrader
and it worked
It is opening right now.
But the image quality of the program is not good as it was.
And after all this I feel scared of this process.
Can anyone know the reason of this
And have a greater solution that converting the project on online website.
All the best,

上位バージョンの新機能が反映されないのは仕方がない。それ以外の基本的な編集データを維持したまま下位のヴァージョンでも開ける状態にして欲しい。
It can not be helped that the new version of the new version is not reflected. I want you to be able to open even the lower versions while maintaining other basic editing data. -

Adobe Premiereのバージョン間の下位互換性を考慮してください。
私たち全員が異なるバージョンのプロジェクトを持っていて、そのうちの1人が新しいバージョンのプロジェクトで作成したプロジェクトを開いたり編集したりすることができない場合、会社やクライアント以外の人とプロジェクトを共同で行うことは非常に困難です。 同じソフトウェアなのに。 これは信じられないほど制限的で、この制限は必要ありません。
