I can create a new project, but old projects won't open. Endless waiting. We've ruled out drivers and hardware, and the settings have been already reset. The program closes when large projects are opened.

Hi Paul,

Sorry to hear about this. In which version were these projects created & are the media files used in the project saved in any network/external storage?

Thanks,

Sumeet

25.5.0 and Beta. I didn't use network storage. I worked with projects for a whole year and everything was fine. Now they won't open or Premier crashes. Some projects opened using AutoSave, but I can't understand the reason for this strange behavior. If AutoSave works, why can't I work in my main project?

Thanks for the details! Did it start after any update or any recent crash? Have you tried importing the affected project into a blank new project to check if it's being imported completely? Also, please let us know the version of Premiere Pro that you are currently using.
