Need to import a sequence from another project into a new project
Hey guys,
I have looked through the forums and only found something from Adobe here – https://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS5FCE58EB-47A9-41c8-87D8-9B8EF4573FF6.html
But this hasn’t helped me.
My project in CS4 became corrupt and now will not open. I try to open the project but it freezes without any error code but will not load. I’ve tried everything I could find in forums to help open the project but it won’t load. So I started a new project and want to import the sequences from the old project into the new.
How do I do this?

You should be able to import an project into a new project like it says in the Help doc.
Double click in the project window and import the project:
xxx.prproj.
Select whole project or just a sequence. Just try it.
Dont you have any back up projects or projects saved as …. on another drive?———————————————–

I tried importing the project as the link said to do, but it freezes just as it did when trying to open normally.
As for the importing of individual sequences, my trouble is – where do I find the individual sequences in the folders?
I did have a back up on one of the several back up drives I use, but it is 2 days older, unfortunately. And in the editing world, 2 days is a ton. I know, I messed up by not backing it up.

Hi…
What stage of loading is it at?
Possibly corrupt ftg or a weird file name can throw it.
Duplicate the project file
See if you can open it with media offline. (rename the path to the media folder by appending characters like OLD to the folder name temporarily)
then you can start relinking elements a few at a time, saving after each sucessful relink until you find your culprit(s).

Thanks Alex. I got it working late last night by going into my Temp folder and finding an Auto Save version that only lost me a day on the editing. I thought it better to have only lost a bit than start from scratch.
It froze at the loading screen (where the bar is moving across the loading icon before the project opens and after the Adobe screen goes away). Apparently, this is happening a lot if there is a third party program called XML Wrench dedicated to trying to fix this problem.
I’m guessing the project film was corrupt. So now I have SAVED AS as multiple projects in case there is a certain file in the project Adobe doesn’t like. Ah well, thank you all for your help!

Make use of the Save a copy and save it to another drive (just in case).
Auto save overwrites after certain amount of project versions.———————————————–
