Re: [Avid-L2] Opening AE projects in earlier versions?

Big Adobe bugbear. I have the same with InDesign. Even slightly different versions of Premiere Pro CC show the same behaviour. I wish you luck.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Opening AE projects in earlier versions?

I'm being given a .aep project made in AE 5.5 which will not open in CS 4 or CS 3. I did some googling and it seems if they can open and save their project in Ver. 5 I can then open it in Ver. 4. Once saved in Ver. 4 I can then open it in Ver. 3. Meaning CS 4 and CS 3 respectively. Is this doable? Heres what I found:
