Error Message
I tried to open an old project and got the following message. File does not contain a valid Avid domain header. What does it mean and how do I fix it?
I am using Avid Xpress Pro 5.8 on a PC with Windows XP SP3.
Thanks,

No, didn’t change the folder name.

was the project folder renamed, by chance?
It’ll get all fussy if the folders are dinked with in any way. It’s all one tree.

Have you tried creating a new project, then importing the bins from the old project? That’s a pretty ominous sounding error.
-
Yep, brand new project with the default name “New Project”. Still couldn’t open them. Even tried changing the name of one of the bins and it still wouldn’t open. Thanks,

If you hop into your OMFI folder(s) and slowly scroll through, I bet you will find a currupt file… one with a (+) in the file name. Delete it and see if that gets you going. Outside of that, maybe go sifting through your attic for a date or time you could open it before the problem?
-
Good idea. Hadn’t thought to check the OMFI, or try to open an earlier version of the attic. Thanks!

Where would the plus sign be? In front of the file format icon or in front of the file name? Thanks,

In front of the filename. For example, if your media file is normally called:
V01.488A3D9F_488A3D488A3D9F.omf
It would looking something like:
+V01.488A3D9F_488A3D488A3D9F.omf

Excellent. Thanks Michael.

What does an underline mean, as in
_V01.488A3D9F_488A3D488A3D9F.omf?
Thanks,
Ken
