Question

Cannot open any of my recovered project files (Premiere Pro)

I deleted my entire premiere pro autosave folder on my computer hard drive and used Recuva to get the files back. Now I am faced with the error "This project appears to be damaged. It cannot be opened." I am on Windows 10, I've tried importing the project inside a new project and that hasn't worked. I have no idea how to go about accessing my projects again.

Hi Leopold,

Sorry. Have you tried searching your drive? Use .pproj as a string for your search.

Hey there! So what happened to me is that i sadly i deleted everything that has something to do with my Premiere Pro Project by mistake..

 

I recovered as many files as possible with a Recovery Software. But i think that all the data that i recovered (some more autosaves of the project and other stuff) is damaged.
Im sending you the Folder with all the recovered data which have something to do with this Premiere Pro project. Maybe you find at least one useful piece of information that helps to recover the original file. DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rg94e7s089tquhwqrz2r2/h?dl=0&rlkey=ideb05bde0rrfkl9werunjr1e

If you can help me out then please private message me! I would be open to pay you for this or do anything else. This Project means so much to me because i am sitting over a month on this so it's hard for me to accept that it's all gone 😞

So sorry for your loss.  Do you keep dedicated file backups on Cloud drives?  I use Backblaze cloud backup and recovery service.  A+++

Unfortunately, I do not have any cloud backups 😞 will definitely do this in the future though.
