Default Pro Tools 12 Compatibility with PT 2020.5

Hello all. I teach a brief introduction to Pro Tools for digital media graduate students at my college as part of larger audio/video course. We are fortunate to have a digital media lab with 24 Pro Tools licenses. All of our students have subscriptions to LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) and I utilize portions of Skye Lewin's Pro Tools 12 Essential Training course. In the course, he includes small exercise files with, perhaps, 1/2 dozen tracks.

So with that, here's my question: Do you all know if there will be any problems opening the PT 12 exercise session files from Lewin's course in PT 2020.5? I personally am still using 2020.3 and know that the PT 12 files open just fine, but I don't know for sure about 2020.5.

Our I.T. department would like to upgrade the Macs in our lab to Catalina and PT 2020, but I want to make sure the PT 12 files will still open.

Thanks much.

I wouldn't think there would be any problems - I have no issues opening Pro Tools 12 sessions in 2020.5. But as always, it would be best to test it out and have a backup plan just in case. Are the sessions all audio or do they also have video? Video in the sessions would be the one thing I would want to make sure was compatible.

No issues here and I open PT12 HD sessions all the time in PT2020.5 Ultimate and have used 2019.12 and 2020.3 Ultimate and all the 2018-2019 versions so as long as you have supported setups and Avd compatibility computers 2020.5 on Catalina will be fine and dandy! no issues should arise whatsoever.

Thanks for the reply. They all audio only, and very basic at that....eight or ten audio and MIDI tracks only. Our I.T. Dept. is going to install 2020.5 on a test machine. I can try it there before we update the entire lab and my personal MacBook. Thanks again.
