Premiere Pro 4 File Won't Open

Hi all
I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi John
Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open at all

    Premeire Pro CS6 won't open at all. It locks up when it says "Loading QuickLooks_AE10.plugin" and the entire program doesn't respond at all. I think I just did the latest Creative Cloud update for the Premiere CS6 family. How can I get it working again? I have so many videos to edit! Thanks!

  • My premiere pro cc won't open

    Hello,
    I have the creative cloud suite and am trying to open premiere pro but it won't open.  I've used it in the past on this same computer.  What gives?

    Hi Alex,
    I'll Show you that there are some sources of error:
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html 
    2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

  • Premiere tutorial files won't open

    I'm using Premiere CC and trying to open a tutorial file from the Adobe site—this window pops up: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type." What does this mean?

    Hi rpad,
    I found a few help documents and several forums posts that might help you. One or more of them were written for CS6, but the suggested solutions may work for CC.

    Let me know if you still have the problem after trying the suggestions in these. If so, I can move this forum post to the general Premiere Pro forum where hopefully someone has an answer.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open...

    I have the Adobe Creative Cloud, and I installed Premiere Pro CS6 Family. I was able to open it once, but now that I have tried launching it recently, it comes up with an error message saying "This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". What exactly does that mean?

    It means that the Microsoft Visual C++ Resource library got corrupted. Reinstalling can help, because that is the first step of the installlation process. The alternative is to go to the Microsoft site and download the latest C++ libraries and install them manually.

  • Premiere Pro CC won't open any recent projects.

    I recently installed Premiere Pro on Creative Cloud. When I started on my project, it was all working just fine. I closed my project and tried opening it again and the Premiere icon appears on the bottom of my screen and then nothing happens. After a few seconds my cursor turns into a watch and then the app closes. How do I fix this?

    I was able to start up Premiere, but I was unable to open anything, recent or new without the app shutting off. It's fine, I restarted my computer and it was working fine again. Thanks for replying!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 won't open. Receiving Error message...

    When I try to open Premiere Pro CS4, the program doesn't open but I receive the Error message below instead:
    LoadLibraryEx Startup.dll failed with error 999: Error performing inpage operation.
    Does anyone know what this means or how I can fix it aside from reinstalling the software?  Thanks.
    Yoey

    Thank you for that info. I actually just reinstalled the program only to have another error occur. Apparently that when you install Premier, you must also install a bunch of other perhipheral software including After Effects Third Party Content. There was an error with that but Premiere worked fine, but After Effects wouldn't start. Then I checked for updates and everything seems to be working fine. Not even sure if that Third Party Content is working because my laptop is not powerful enough to run After Effects effectively anyways. But thanks again for your response. I will defenitely keep that in mind if I ever have any more problems.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open (nor will After Effects)

    I'm using a Mac, and this morning my system needed to run two updates.  The first was an update for OS X to 10.9.2.  It's focus was on improvement to stability, compatibility, and security.  The second was a CUDA driver update to 5.5.47.  After both of the updates, neither Premiere CS6 or After Effects will open.  They get stuck on the loading graphic with the spinning "beachball".  I have to force quit both programs.  What's weird is that the CUDA update in my system preferences states that "No newer CUDA Driver available" yet below that in red it says that an update is required.  This has been extremely frustrating all day long.  I've tried all of the following:
    Uninstalling both programs and reinstalling
    Restarting the computer after each step
    Updating the programs usnig the adobe application manager
    Launching both from the program icon as well as a project file
    I'm guessing this is primarily to do with the CUDA driver situation.  I'm not sure how to fix this..

    Hi MPeevy,
    Please go to below mention location on your MAC and delete the referenced file from it and then try to launch the program.
    MACINTOSH HD or “Startup drive/Library/Frameworks” and delete “CUDA.Framework”

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • CS6 Premiere Pro file not opening, saying file is not supported

    I have been working on a video piece and when I tried to open it recently to continue editing it, it said there was an error importing and that my file was not supported. When the file opened all the film didn't show up and was replaced by 'media pending' or something along those lines.
    I don't know how to fix this as there is no reason the files should be incompatible as I haven't changed them from their original Premiere Pro files.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Project file won't open

    Hi - I am trying to open a project file on my machine done on my friends' computer in Premiere but it says file won't open as it is from a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro.
    I only downloaded Premiere recently and am on the monthly subscription to the cloud so was assuming I would have latest. I can't see how to update it. any clues?
    I am operating on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Please open your Creative Cloud desktop app and check there must be updates for latest version.
    Please update and try to open the project.
    thank you,

  • Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari.  I have Reader 9.4.5.  It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
