ERROR: The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened. HELP

Hey,

Whenever I open my project in premiere pro, I get the error message above. I have already been looking for solutions, but opening an auto-saved file or a save file from earlier, it still gives me the same error message. I cannot even get into the project screen to save it to another place.

PLEASE HELP.

@p_rawat0815 

Have you tried creating a new project and importing each sequence separately?

I encountered a similar issue, but my case might be a bit different. A file with a strange name, something like "Scenes~ade37a51-5a3b-4674-ad3b-7a8e485649b1", appeared alongside the project. This file turned out to be the original project file. I was able to open it normally just by renaming it and adding the .prproj extension
