Strange behaviour on a Premiere Pro 6 project
Hello
Im working on a Premiere Pro 6 project which was all running as normal yesterday.
Today the project opens ok but 90% of the shots won’t play even though they are all on the timeline, they show up as black.
Nothing has changed since I saved it last night.
If I click on one of the shots that won’t play it says media pending, but no media is being loaded and you can leave it for ages and nothing happens.
Yesterday I also did a project backup to another hard drive, when I open this the same problem is there.
It’s also the same when I open it on another Mac.
When I close the Premiere Pro it crashes.
I’m thinking a shot or some shots have corrupted rather than the project file.
Do I have to rebuild the project somehow? If so is there an easy way?
Any help to sort this problem really appreciated.
Thanks -

Did you let all the media be indexed before you started editing on the timeline?
If so, create another timeline. Copy and paste the old one to the new one.
It that doesn’t work, create a new project, import the old project into the new one.

Yes I wait for the shots to be indexed, which seems to stop I think.
If I copy the sequence to a new one I just get the spinning beach ball.
I’ll try your suggestion of creating a new project and importing the old one…is there a suggested way to do this ?Thanks

Just create a new project. Then go to the import menu and select the old one. Sorry, I dont have PrP right in front of me at the moment.

I’ve just tried that quite a few times and it just crashes Premiere Pro every time.
I even tried to import previous saved projects I made yesterday and still the same.
Can’t really understand what’s happened here as the project was all perfect yesterday -
To add to my last post, I tried importing sequences only…I have 15 sequences in the project.
I’ve tried importing them one by one….I get up to sequence 7, anything above that makes it crash.
It makes me think that a corrupt clip was added to the later sequences ?
The trick is to find which one ??? -
Long shot here. If you know which clips you used in the first offending sequence, in a new sequence you could try loading them one by one and see if any wont play or cause a problem. Then delete that clip from your media drive.
