posted earlier, need drastic help

Post by SomaOverdose » Sun Jun 30, 2002 11:11 pm

:shock: Ok, here is how it is, I was happily working on my music video; it was 80% complete, I had just finished rendering a few scenes when I decided to export what I had just worked on. During the process of exporting the timeline to video it crashed, when I rebooted my computer and loaded my project it was all gone and had told me that the file was either corrupted or there was a write-protect on it.
If anyone can offer any help it would be greatly appriciated.

Oh no...........

That is the appocalypse all of us fear man. Theres really nothing you can do about it man. Whenever you save, ALWAYS save a backup file preferably on another drive, and certainly in another dircetory.

I'm sorry about your loss :(

Do not double post. Double posting is most likely not going to get your question answered any faster.

Crap I got that too... Except that me I had just finished the vid! Now Premiere crashes everytime I try to load the .ppj file... and I don't have any backup but a exported Huffyuv vid (half-finished, sob).

I'll remake my project later, now I'm a little angry with Premiere : ).

If anyone know how to open that damn .ppj file... I still have the file, the vids, the pics, etc. but no the preview files (take too much disk space).

I've had that happen to me before.

I never found a way of recovering form it - however, Premiere keeps a backup archive of save versions in the Premiere folder so you could just load up an earlier save.

You dont have to have the automatic save on.

Premiere will archive every time you do a normal save too and name them 01 02 etc.

I was actually able to fix one of my corrupted files - once. Mostly only because it occasionly gave me an error about one of the source files being a problem. Open it up in Wordpad or some other text editor, and carefully, one at a time, delete the source imports. After each one (or five), check to see if the file will work again.

Probably won't work, but might be worth a shot. Definitely won't work if the corruption is with the memory or something not file-specific.

But the corrupted file is the one I used the most...

AD> I've checked the whole Premiere directory and I didn't find anything... Where is it, exactly?
