Premiere Pro New Version

[Breanna Mangels]

RecentlyI updated my Premier App from version 12.x.x to 13.1.5. Upon launching with the newer version, I immediately encountered driver issues which prevented me from effectively using Premier. To my dismay, when I tried to rollback to the previous version of the app, I was no longer able to find it on the list. In fact, the list only showed me 14.0.0 and 13.1.5 which is a far cry from what Adobe has offered in the past.

First, why is there a third party website claiming they are allowed to control all previous versions of your app? I have no reason to trust that link or website. I do not feel comfortable downloading anything from them.

Second, why can't Adobe offer their customers the ability to use previous versions of their apps? You have a reputation of "move fast and break things" which causes new bugs to appear in every release. The ability to not roll back a couple versions is a disservice to your customers, in my opinion.

Thank you for the reply. The concerning part to me is I did not remove the previous version. I clicked the update button that was presented to me, found the update did not work with my computer specs, and now I am unable to roll back to a previous version.

Unfortunately it appears Adobe has made a business decision to stop supporting Premier 2018 or later (as seen in the first comment). Adobe has removed the ability to obtain these versions from Creative Cloud. All I can say is I am disappointed and I know I am just one person so Adobe has no reason to provide a solution.

Using the creative cloud desktop app, navigate to all apps then scroll through your installed apps to Premier Pro. Click on the 3 dots next to "Open". In the pop-up window you will then be able to scroll through Older versions and install from there. Hope this helps.

My team has been working out of a Production workflow with a large number of organized and individual projects in it. We have been working inside of v15.xx and we decided to update to v22.0 when that released to be able to use some of the new features. When trying to open any project in the production in the new version of premiere we get this message:

"The projects in this production were saved from a previous version of Premiere and must be converted. A Copy of the production will be created for the conversions. The original production will not be modified."

When we choose to convert a window with "preparing for upgrade" appears with a bar and we have yet to have anything successfully happen (Premiere hangs and crashes quickly here) and a very small fraction of the projects are converted and there is no new production for the new version of Premiere to open..

Has there been issues with converting productions to the new version or is there a workaround possibly?

Thank you

I've never been able to successfully update a production. I've tried it in multiple facilities on both Mac and PC. I've tried it over the course of years with multiple different versions of Premiere without success. Importing the projects individually into a new production doesn't work either because everything just matches back to the old production. This is extremely frustrating and we need a solution to this. I'm currently dead in the water on a huge project.

I've used Productions for my one-person shop. All my projects are in that Production, organized by type of job, client etc within the folder structure used in Productions. And I make a new one every year that is built with the new major release cycle, but is based from the previous one. And never had an issue, but then my yearly work might easily be a smaller total asset list than your project here.

I know this is super old, but I thought I would post it in case anyone has issues migrating from v23 to v24. After troubleshooting for hours I figured out that I had to open each project in the previous version v23 and then perform the migration. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the quick response.

Unfortunately that was something we tried in one of our attempts of doing something different to see what would happen. New production created in v22.0, full AP folder structure copied over (all other assets are in other folders), and while the projects appear in the new Production tab, an "opening project" window pops up briefly, then no project is opened. Same for every project opened either in the regular folder structure outside of Premiere and also inside the production panel inside of Premiere. No dice there unless there was something I've missed or misunderstood in that transfer process.

Updating a Production is listed as a straightforward task. I've done it on my own and didn't have any trouble, to be fair. You can find info on how to update a Production in the doc's index at the back. I would say the only thing that can go wrong is if editors sharing the files have a project file open. Make sure all projects are closed. All editors should choose File > Close All Projects. Make sure everyone is also on the same version of the software, as well.

I figured it SHOULD be a straightforward task, so I'm definitely tryint to gather as much information as possible to figure it out. Worst case I can take the time to create a new production entirely and import and convert a few hundred projects individually. I have the time to do it, but of course would rather not.

Consulted the supplementary PDF also, thank you for the link. Had everyone close out of premiere and all projects. I went through the production tab and made sure that ALL projects were closed out of and also found a handful of prlock files still around from projects that weren't open and haven't been touched. Got rid of all of those. Attempted again as the only editor to have premiere open on the team's network and had the same crash happen and had only a portion of the projects placed into a new folder.

Did more digging and found that one of our editors didn't follow directions we set early on and was placing video and other assets in folders inside the AP folder structure and not outside that folder structure in asset folders we set up. Could that be where it's hanging up during conversion??

THANK YOU for the help guys, I really appreciate the attention to this.

One thing I do follow ... the documentation says to not put your assets in the same folders as your Production is built in. That a parallel folder structure is safer somehow. And so I do that mostly ... on the same drive, I have my Production, and I can see the organizational folder structure of it in the file manager app of Windows.

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based and non-linear video editing software application (NLE) developed by Adobe and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere (first launched in 1991). It is geared towards professional video editing, while its sibling, Adobe Premiere Elements, targets the consumer market.

CNN was an early adopter of Adobe Premiere Pro.[3] Also, in 2007, certain BBC departments adopted Premiere Pro.[4] It has been used to edit feature films, such as Deadpool, Gone Girl,[5] Captain Abu Raed, Terminator: Dark Fate,[6] Monsters,[7] and the 2022 Academy Award Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All At Once,[8] and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.[9]

The original version of Adobe Premiere was developed by Adobe Systems. It was first launched in 1991. Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems.[10] The first version for Mac was released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993.[11] Its final version was released in 2002.

The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card.[12] SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of ReelTime in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta.[13] The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere.[12] Ubillos also left SuperMac to join Adobe.[13]

Premiere was the second of many QuickTime-based video editors on the market.[14] As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less.[15]

Premiere was based on ReelTime, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. and was one of the first computer-based NLEs (non-linear editing system), with its first release on Mac in 1991. Adobe briefly abandoned the Mac platform after version 6 of Premiere. Up until version Premiere Pro 2.0 (CS2), the software packaging featured a galloping horse, in a nod to Eadweard Muybridge's work, "Sallie Gardner at a Gallop".
