1. Re: "This project was saved in a newer version of APP and cannot be opened in this version" NO convert option with 7.2.2 from 8.0.1
SAFEHARBOR11 Jul 25, 2014 1:22 PM (in response to CMN_Virginia)I've been using Premiere for maybe 12 years, and to my knowledge, Project files have never been backwards-compatible with older versions.

CMN_Virginia Jul 25, 2014 1:27 PM (in response to SAFEHARBOR11)The gentlemen that I was chatting with (got disconnected) said that there should have been a convert option. I am chatting with them again.

CMN_Virginia Jul 25, 2014 1:50 PM (in response to CMN_Virginia)I was sorely mistaken. In my haste to get the project done, I had opened up the CC7.2.2 version and NOT the CC2014. Foolish me.

Tushar Tyagi Jul 25, 2014 2:07 PM (in response to CMN_Virginia)HI CMN_Virginia,
Welcome to Adobe forums.
If you want to open a project of a later version on a previous version Premiere Pro, you can follow the given below workflow:
-Go to the original project in the current version (say 8.0.1) where it was originally created.
-Select the Project bin and export an XML File of the same by going to File>Export>Final Cut Pro XML after selecting the entire Project bin. (Please make sure the XML if of the Project Bin and not of the Timeline as in that case you might not get the complete project in the XML)
-Save this XML Export file to a convenient location. Move this XML to the internal drive of the second machine along with all the media it contains the reference to.
(A text file will also be created next to it, delineating the details of export and reporting misses, if any)
-Now go to the other computer with previous version of Premiere Pro (say 7.2.2) and open a new project.
-then go to File>Import and Import the XML of the project previously saved. The XML would be imported.
(Please note that the importing the XML will not load the media of the project by default. You would get the media offline message because it would be trying to find the media in the older location of the previous system. You would need to right click on the clips and choose "Link Media" and then navigate through the folder to find and connect the media).
Following the above workflow should let you open the project in a previous version of Premiere Pro.
Thanks and regards

Admiral Cook Jul 25, 2014 5:53 PM (in response to CMN_Virginia)Adobe won't us to be able to do this. In Premiere Pro CS 4/5/6 we were able to convert projects to older version by simply changing SINGLE number in project file using text editor.
@Tushar it will work only for simple projects. All titles, extra transitions etc will be messed up.
