Many thanks.

Did this ever get resolved for you?
I’m amazed that others have not responded to this thread.

Correction – USB-2 ports seem crankier than USB-3 ports….

What’s the source frame rate vs. project target frame rate too?

I keep my own backup ppj files.
Usually three versions in “save” rotation such as bigmovie-A.ppj, bigmovie-B.ppj …. etc.
I also have the same structures on a different hard drive. So when I manually save about every half hour It takes more time to save to two places. It has been more reliable that the autosave method. Sort of “belt & auapenders”.

I’m not sure this will help but maybe it will trigger a wider discussion…
I’ve had the same problem with WD “My Book” USB drives on a windows-7 platform. I use a new drive for every project.
If I leave the room for a while, the drives would go to sleep and the system would freak out because it couldn’t find the source drive. Only restarting the program would help but work was lost and a couple of times, the whole bloody project!
Switching to Seagate External USB drives helped reduce the problem from frequent to almost rare.
Also plugging in a additional USB drive for borrowing files to copy over has created problems too. The Plug and Play driver often just doesn’t work reliably. USB ports seem crankier than USB ports.

Just for fun, could you convert the same files to avi and just try that little section of video as a junk project?

Sounds to me like Adobe doesn’t understand either.:) That’s why I try to get info here or even youtube.
I’ve had my video editing computer unplugged from the router and offline for about 2 years now. Generally you don’t need “updates” if you don’t go on line. I have an older junker computer just for that purpose. I don’t want any updates unless I’m targeting a real problem.
Is it possible you updated some drivers lately?

I had the exact same problem using PP CS5.1 So they have a possible legacy bug. Something made every copy of the ppj corrupt and even the autosave versions. As I would try each one, it would become corrupted upon opening – until none were left.

I had that problem with those nasty little audio “pek” files building up in a part of the C: drive called “My Computer”. After a few projects, all the C; space was eaten up and everything would lock up with a white screen. And of course no warnings or explanations of the “program not responding” issue.
This is really a poor program for setup considering its price. Do they actually think anyone would want to put project data on the C: and a buyer of this overpriced program wouldn’t have sense to have other hard drives?
