Default Help Converting .ptx to .ptf

Hello to all! I have a session that was recorded in .ptx in the studio, but now I'm trying to edit the session on my own version of protools (version 8) and it won't let me open it because of the .ptx - .ptf difference. Is there anyway that any of you convert this session or provide me any help with regard to this situation? As I understand users with PT10 and above can convert .ptx to .ptf by using the "save as" feature. Would anyone be willingly to do this. Any help would very much appreciated.

I've uploaded the session, along with the session backups and put them into a zip file. Is there anything else I should do?

Simple! Use 'Save Copy In' and choose the old session format. That's it!

Edit: I understand you don't have access to PT10 right now. Sorry, I didn't read carefully...

I'll convert them for you. Just upload the PTX file, not the whole session.

Sent you a PM. You are a life-saver! I really really appreciate it.

Wasn't expecting this to happen so fast. A warm welcome, thank you.

Check your PMs. I sent you a link to the PTF file along with the session notes.

Hello mesaone,

Apologies for this, but may I ask for the same favor?

I opened up (or at least attempted to) a project from 2015 and was met with the same problem. I still use Pro Tools 8 on OS X 10 and unfortunately self taught but this hole I cannot seem to get out of!

In the open folder the 'Kind' is usually as you know 'Pro Tools Session', but this one is 'Pro Tools LE Document'.

Am I screwed?

Thanks.
