Premiere Pro project file won't open: white icon instead of purple logo. Files linked to Lightroom?

Hi there,

I have been working on a project and I left it alone for about a month, in that time I updated to the latest version of premiere. Now when I go to open the .prproj it is a white icon and won't open in premiere pro.

It also seems to be linked to lightroom somehow. There are a whole bunch of folders named .prproj but when I open them up I see a file .lprev file that has a white icon.

There are also a whole bunch .prproj files missing the premier pro icon (instead there is a white icon) and when I click on 'get info' I can see they are stored in a lightroom catalogue. Which doesn't make sense because they're video files but perhaps I've accidentally dragged them in and it's messed up the files somehow? Can you help?

I'm trying to give all the detail because I have no idea how to fix this. Is was a couple of days work that I unfortunately didn't save anywhere else. I just had a bunch of autosaves. But now they are all looking the same: white icon, won't open in premiere pro.

I had the same issue, but renaming the .exe file to not include spaces worked for me.

It looked like this:

But i renamed it to this:

I used the "Open with..." option and pointed to the renamed exe-file and now the association works.

Hi defaultijkn4wfbk6ic,

Thanks for reaching out.

What happens when you try to open the projects? Do you see any error message? How does the icon look? Could you share a screenshots of the icon and Get Info window? It'll help us to understand the issue better.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu
