An alternative to recovering corrupt premiere files
Hi,
I just wanted to share it may help someone in the same situation.
Yesterday we finished a 15 day, day&night working project.
Today we came to the studio and the project file and 5 autosave files are corrupt!!!! they are not opening, giving every wierd error code. Searched the web, no solution, importing to a new project, after effects, just copying the file somewhere else offlining everthing, nope!We made a short render 1 day back with media encoder. so in
Users…AppData-Local-Temp I found that prproj file and lost only 1 days work.so what I learned;
-always use media encoder
-if working on the same file for days, weeks, make copies with save as and increase the version number, continue working on the new file
– there is a copy of every encoder rendered prproj file under Users…AppData-Local-Temp -

i wonder if you’re having the same issue that I had. (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/936325)
Did you use any audio filter effects (and then maybe update the plugins?)
I had an issue where all project files (autosaves, previous and alternate versions, etc.) were all listed as corrupt or “an error occurred”
I opened then on another workstation here that doesn’t have any audio plugins and it it worked fine. I stripped out all the audio plugins from each sequence and it would then open on the original workstation.
I wonder if this issue extends to any other plugins/utilities.
Premiere definitely needs a little more gracious error handling!

Thanks for putting this info in the forum. I haven’t run into that error yet, but if I do, I know I can now search for the workaround here.
