Can’t open a certain project in Adobe Premiere Pro?!
Hi there,
I am quite desperate right now and I tried finding a solution to my problem in dozens of forums, but no one seemed to have had my problem. I have been working on a very important project for several days now and everything was going fine until a few hours ago when my mouse started playin’ games on me. In an attempt to save my project, I accidentally clicked “Close” instead of Save . I was a bit surprised that the project closed itself without asking me if I wanted to save it or not, but it was too late. I restarted my bloody mouse and tried opening the project. No such thing, it loaded the millions of video files, which I was using and although I could see them in the Source Monitor (or whatever its name is) , there was no timeline at all, I checked in “Windows” if the timeline was checked, and although it was , it didn’t show itself. So I decided to import the project into another project, but it only imported the sequence, which doesn’t help me much , because I have a lot of editing to do, and with a merged clip – I cannot really do that.So , what in God’s name is wrong with the freaking project ? Oh yeah, before I forget, I do not know why ,but there is not auto-saved version of my project (I double checked every possible folder it could be in , but it was nowhere to be found.)
Other projects are perfectly fine, only this one (which I need, of course) doesn’t want to open itself.
What shall I do ?
Please help me, I am really in a hurry and to be honest I think I will just give up if I have to start it all over again.

Be sure to try all the usual troubleshooting techniques:
– Restart the App (I’m sure you’ve done this)
– Restart the computer
– Close the app and trash the prefs, then try againSounds like there’s something glitchy going on with that particular file, and I’d definitely make a copy of the file before going any further, just in case….

I know you have no active sequence showing, but is the sequence listed among the source files in the project window?

Yeah , it shows, but I cannot drag it into it, so I made a new sequence and although I can now drag files , my sequence is merged to a whole clip, even though I never told the program to merge my clips.

[Elysa Underwood] “Yeah , it shows Stop here, but I cannot drag it into it, so I made a new sequence and although I can now drag files , my sequence is merged to a whole clip, even though I never told the program to merge my clips.”
Double click the sequence that you’re IDing (before the Stop here) and it should open up the sequence in the timeline panel.

I agree with Nathan. Double clicking on that item in the project window, should re-open the timeline in the sequence window.

Okay, I did it , but I do not understand why the clips merged themselves into one whole clip, there is certainly a very stupid explanation for that, but I am new to Adobe Premiere and I can’t seem to make out my problem.
Thank you anyway, I was able to cut the parts , which were ready, and copy them into my new project. I still had to redo half of the clip , but it’s better than starting all over again.
