Hello, HANDLE WITH CARE - I found a solution for my file! My Theory seems to be working: It seems be the wrong interpretation of language settings. 1st fix (see above, you did this already): This fix replaced all numbers having "," as a separator and 12 or 24 digits after the separator. Numbers like "0,000000000000" or "0,000000000000000000000000" were replaced by the same values with "." instead of ",". perl -p -e "s/([-0-9]+?),([0-9]{12,24})/$1.$2/g" damaged.prel >working.prel 2nd fix (I found out this works for me): The second error is in the <Keyframes> lines. When I replaced the ";" by "," or ":" (see below) the file could be opened successfully. But I don't know if this is causing other problems with keyframes.

Hi Michael, >  I changed the separator to "." instead of "," but the same error occured when trying to open the project.... it's correct that changing the dot separator will not make PRE 10 able to load the file correctly - I had no doubt in that, but having a system with "," supports my theory that this breaks the prel-files on saving. Using the dot separator in the system might not lead to corrupted files when saving the projects (that's my theory, I'd like to have confirmed). > thanks for trying to help us... But unfortunately this didn't resolve the problem I'm not just trying to help, I like my file getting fixed too As the Problem seems to lie in keyframe.h: Can someone please tell the correct format of all keyframe lines, so we could find out which lines are incorrect and fix those. - Until a patch is released. I have two hours of video in my prel file and it's about 5 MB large and spent a week of working hours. The perl replacement was successfully but is still not working - my file now fails when loaded at 86 percent with exactly the same error message. How do I find out which line or element fails, so I can replace more dots by commas Greetings, Jens. P.S. I hope Adobe will give us a patch soon and a fix-tool or a description how to fix the old files. Many language settings are using "," as a decimal separator, so whole countries are affected. ...

Hello SedAdMichael, it seems Adobe Software has problems on system using non-dot decimal separators. To verify this, could I ask about the decimal separator your system is using (language setting). Is it a comma "," or a dot "."? Greetings, Jens. ... View more

Hello Mohammad, I get the same error Message after replacing the "," with "." in the Keyframe sections. Unfortunately most of the backup files contain the same error. Only those still existing from Premiere Elements 9 (still installed) are correct. Can you please give a clue what's wrong with the new files. - I could send you my project file too, if it helps. I am using a German version of Windows 7 - 64bit and Premiere Elements 10 - 64bits. Greetings, Jens. ... View more
