Question

Restoring a project from a damaged PRMDC2 file

A prproj. file got permanently deleted by accident from my Mac desktop. I got some data recovery software which couldn't find the prproj. file -- but it did find a .prmdc2 file. I recovered that, changed the extension to "prproj.", and tried to open it in Premiere. However, it says "the project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened". Is there anything I can do to save this project file, or is it a goner forever?

These are cache files. So the answer is no.

Don't you have auto save or a back-up or saved to the cloud?

The entire folder got permanently deleted -- auto save files and all. Any suggestions for a data recovery software that actually works?

I know it doesn't help you now, but autosaves and backups should be on a different drive than the project and media files.
