Error opening project from previous version.

I just purchased Movie Studio Version 16.0 (Build 108) and when I try to open project from Movie Studio 13.0 I’m getting message:

“Warning: An error occurred while trying to open a project file from a previous version. An error occurred while loading a plug-in or plug-ins. The plug-in(s) specified are not installed on this system.”

My computer has Windows 10. What can I do?

The project should still open but won't be complete as you no longer have the plug-ins installed that were present in MS13.

This is a continuing problem with plug-ins that are only available to the MS version they came with. From memory the VMS plug-ins shouldn't be a problem. Do you know what plug-ins were used? Apart from external additional items MS13 had internally some HitFilm FX. If these are what's missing they can be copied over to your MS16 installation. Do you still have MS13 installed?
