the project cannot be loaded it may be damaged….

Silly questions:
Did you save a COPY that you could try?
Did you try any of the latest from the AUTO SAVE folder?

[Ryan Christensen]

Thanks for the message:

1. No. I did not save a copy. When I copy the existing project file and even rename it or put it in a new directory I get the same error message.

2. The auto-saves do work! The problem is I was super aggressive with manually saving the project, so the last auto save is from way earlier in the day… thus loosing 1/2 day of great editing work.

Saving with a different name may not help if the project is damaged. So it is not the name or the directory. Probably did not save properly last time.

Auto Save is sh#$. Auto save SHOULD function to automatically save versions of the file regardless of manually saving. I, like Ryan, save OFTEN. I’m having the same problem and now I’ve lost a full day of work. Painstaking work that won’t be any faster the 2nd time I do it. I HATE PP! It is NOT a professional grade software package.

Ryan, did you ever figure out a solution?

Hi Trevor,

Unfortunately I never did. I tried everything. To their credit, Adobe contacted me and helped me as well. They looked at the project file and indeed it was unrepairable.

Ultimately I had to re-build my work off of the last autosave.
