Does anyone know a way to convert AE7 files to AE6.5 files. I've been working on a huge project in AE7, about 200 AEPs, and I need them all to become AE6.5 files.
Are there any AppleScripts that could do this conversion? Does anyone know a quick way to batch the files? I know I would have to go back into some of them and update the appropriate version effects, but I dont want to go through all 200 files to convert.
Any information is helpful. If anyone writes scripts that could do this I would be willing to pay for it.

I think you will find that the only way to do this is the hard way...by recreating everything. It has always been that Ae has not been backward compatible and i've never yet heard of a program that does what you want before...Maybe there is a way if you find some one technical enough to write you an application...but i doubt Adobe give out any info on the .aep file format.

I have never, ever, NEVER heard of anyone doing anything like you propose. To my knowldge it's plain ol' impossible, so needless to say, it's never been done.
Actually, you would be far better off just paying for an upgrade from AE6.5 to AE7. It would save time, too.
