Hi!
This is a consult to Premiere users (and hopefully experts).
I have 2 fanedits which I started some good years ago. They both became quite complex and left them parked out, since my previous pc was not powerful enough.
I have a new pc, which works pretty fine now, and I want to go back to these 2 old fanedits so I can finish them now.
But the PROBLEM is:
since these are 2 old projects made with Premiere CS5.5, now the current Premiere 2022 WON'T OPEN THEM PROPPERLY.
In one case, the project opens, BUT all the effects editing on them made with the QuickLooks plug-in is COMPLETELY LOST.
(Since that plug-in was obsolete in later Premiere versions, seems it can't copy the same effects now)
Now this first case, as bothering as it is (and it is indeed bothering, because there was A LOT of effects done already which now is totally lost), is not as worrying as the second case.
The second case, I just can't even open the project propperly because most of the files are offline. Premiere says these cannot be linked to their original sources because "they have 12 audio channels and the clip was created with 6 audio channels AND with a different type of channel" (I am translating the Error Message from Spanish so it's not really a quote).
THIS IS LIKE, WHAAAAT?????
NOW, this second error appears to be quite common... Many people are experiencing the very same issue with the audio channels. But the puzzling thing is, it's not just with old projects, it can also happen with a modern project made with the modern Premiere, but just chaning the location of the files from a drive to another. WHAAAAAAAAAT. SERIOUSLY, PREMIERE??????
Apparently the only solution seems to be accept them all as offline, then go RE-LINK ONE BY ONE, MANUALLY.
In my case, the problem is the files to relink are, like, a lot.
----------------------------------------------------
NOW comes the part where I ask for your best advice, mates.
First of all, I've come to the realization Premiere sucks. Don't get me wrong, I think it's quite ok to start learning on pro editing, but then comes a point when it just sucks. Next project, I will go with DaVinci or similar really good one.
But for these 2 old projects, which I really really want to finish... WHAT ADVICE COULD YOU GIVE ME?
I mean, the only way to open them is with Premiere (there's no way I am starting them 2 again from zero with another program. The level of work on them both is huge (and I mean months and months huge).
Would you recommend:
1- Finish them with the old CS5.5 Premiere? --Problem is, the editing, rendering, exporting is SO CHOPPY. It will take me a lot of time to finish these with such prehistoric software. And I am unsure if they will be on the best of qualities. ---- BUT on the other hand, I will recover all the QuickLooks job already done on them, which also means saved time.
2- Finish them with the modern 2022 Premiere? --I will lose all the QuickTime effects and will have to re-do all that work, and also will have to re-link manually all the offline files one by one (that is, lot of time). BUT then the editing, rendering, etc will be way faster and better...
So, what would you mates do?
THANKS!

Adobe Premiere Pro Cannot Link Familiar File with 2/1 Audio Channels
Hi there. I'm re-editing a video project in Adobe Premiere Pro that I haven't touched since 2018. Premiere has undergone some updates since then. All my files are exactly where and how I left them, on this project has its own secure external drive. However, two of my video files will not load...
