What version of Premiere Pro does this course cover?

- [Instructor] I'd like to briefly discuss with you some details about the versioning issues in this course. This is important because Premiere Pro project files are not fluidly backward and forward compatible among versions, so you need to know your versioning in order to be able to work with the exercise files. This course was initially recorded using the Premiere Pro Pro 2022 version of the software, which launched in May 2022. To determine your version, on a Mac, just go to the Premiere Pro menu and choose About Premiere Pro, and on a PC that's in the Help menu. Now, what does this mean for how you can work with the exercise files I've provided? Well, if you're using the same version that I recorded the course in, you're fine. You don't have to do anything. If you're using a version of Premiere Pro that is older than 2022, then it's going to tell you that the project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and can't be opened in this version. So if you are using an older version, you can either go for an earlier Premiere Pro training in our library, or just upgrade your software to the most recent version and you'll be good to go. That's easy to do if you have the Creative Cloud desktop app installed, or you can always log into your Creative Cloud account and download the update from Adobe's website. If you're using a version of Premier Pro that is newer than 2022, then when you launch the project, you'll receive a different prompt. This time, it tells you that the project must be converted to work with the newer software. It just appends an _1, and you can change that if you want to. So this is an easy project upgrade, just say OK. And when you do that, it creates a whole new project file and doesn't touch the old one. And as a reminder, as you work through the course, make sure to always go back to that upgraded project to work in the exercise files. I've had students that forget to do that and accidentally go back to the original project and then upgrade it again and wonder where all their hard work went. Okay, so hopefully that helps in laying out any version questions that you have. Regardless, you should be able to get up and running on whatever version you're working in.
