What version of Premiere Pro does this course cover?

“

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 effectively with the exercise files I've provided. This course was initially recorded using the Premiere 25.1 version of the software released in October 2024. To figure out which version of Premiere Pro you are running, go to About Premiere Pro on a Mac, that's in the Premiere Pro menu, and on Windows, it's under 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 golden. You don't have to do anything. If you're using a version of Premiere Pro that is older than version 25, then it's going to tell you the project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and can't be opened in this version. And unfortunately that's it. So if you are on an older version, 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. If you're using a version of Premiere Pro that is newer than version 25, then when you launch the project, you'll receive a different prompt. This time it tells you the project must be converted to work with the newer software. This is no problem. Just allow this. Say OK. It just appends an underscore one, which you can rename if you want to. When you do this, it creates a whole new project file and doesn't touch the old one. All right, so hopefully that helps in laying out any version questions you have. Regardless, you should be able to get up and running on whatever version of software you're working in.
