Question

My project and all incrementally saved versions will not open. "The project appears to be damaged"

The project appears to be damage and cannot be opened. This error popped up this morning.
Steps thus far: Updated Beta. (No luck)

Tried importing (No luck)
looked for the 2 files that premiere sometimes produces, they don't exist.
Is this a known issue or an isolated bug. I have never had an issue quite like this.

This is the same thing I experienced.

You may be able to recover your project file. 

 

Have a temporary work around I outlined here:
