    Please help.

    I have a project that won’t open. It reads the project up to 30% and then freezes. I have tried opening my back up copy on an external hard drive and a copy from the autosave vault. Is it because the file is corrupt or because my scratch disc is too low – it’s just over 100 gb and the project is loaded with HD footage?

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Sounds like a corrupt clip. One way to troubleshoot is to take your media offline (drag to a different location drive) and open your project. Also could be a conflict with a transition or filter.

    To find the clip, reconnect the media little by little.

    Thanks Steve!

    That’s great advice. I am currently re-rendering the project after having put it back together again via re-connect media. I got rid of old sequences that had no current relevance and match the only working sequence. Saved me loads of work.

    Really appreciate your help!
