    Does anyone know how to repair a damaged project file for premiere pro 2.0…. I tried a system restore and still the same result. Just curious if anyone here has experienced this and have had a success… thanks

    Premiere Pro usually creates ‘auto-save’ files. Have you tried opening those up? If that doesn’t work, create a new project and import the corrupted project into the new one.

    Sometimes you can import the project into another one.
    Best bet would be to open the latest autosave version. (There will be missing editing but you’ve got a point to start from at least).

    I know you got it working, but if it happens again, you can try using an XML editor to open the project and try to repair it. I’ve been told that XML wrench works https://www.xmlwrench.com. I have not used it myself, but it can’t hurt to try (just do a “save as”).
