Hey. I'm just about to quit all of this. I have had a frame substitution recursion error and crippling playback issues for days while editing and now premiere can't even open my files. When I attempt to open a project it shows "media pending" and then completely freezes. I left it for an hour and it's still frozen. I've been trying to make youtube video essays but I've had so much trouble with this one that I might just give up. please respond if you have any advice.

I've tried importing the old project saves from a few days ago and it does the same thing. I also tried importing them into an entirely new project and premiere froze. I'm very worried that my last entire month has been wasted

Hey @Ulysses31788117unne,

I read your message. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Do you have any back ups of the project when it was working? You may have to rely on the most recent working back up to get out of hot water like this. Check your Auto Save folder. If you can't find a back up there, check the Creative Cloud folder. If you enabled the preference for Creative Cloud back up, you might have one there too. Wishing you success in troubleshooting this issue. If you need additional advice, let us know.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

    Hey, thanks. I actually did get it working a minute ago, but I ran into another major issue, most of the files I have as images or whatever over my main footage are now "media pending"  that don't go away, I'm not sure what causes this, but at one point the images worked fine. Now if I click on it I go over one with the play head my playback freezes, and if I double click to see the source it says media pending. I'm not sure what the cause is, the connection with the original file should be fine, but it could be something to do with a bin or corruption, I'm not sure. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
