Fix "an unknown error occurred while opening the project" cc 2015/2017/2018/2019/2020/2021

[Mohsen Aghaei]

If you faced with "an unknown error occurred while opening the project"

first check your autosaves folder

God forbid if you can't open any of them either, then don't waste your time anymore. Those files are corrupted and needs some surgery and reconstructions on the XML core that needs programming skills and at the sametime knowing Premiere pro project's XML mechanism.

If you are able to deal with those codes then go for it but if you not...

I can help you fixing your files. just drop me a line "chooriy" at gmail.com and attach your project file. Soon I will contact you for further processes.

I'm doing this for about 4 years and there are lot's of successful recoveries of mine you can find in the posts below.

I'm very fast and will answer all requests so quickly.

I'm now very curious, what exactly are you doing to fix these projects @Mohsen Aghaei ?

[Abhishek5D46]

MSg to Mohsel he is very helping guy ...after resolve ur proble u can help Mail ur project file to chooriy@gmail.com direct chat with this guy

[Mohsen Aghaei]

a short question with a very long answer...

It is not about applying one single fix to these files. these files need a wide range of very exact different surgeries. 

[Jeff Bugbee]

Perhaps a better question with your surgery analogy is: What is the body part that requires surgery?

What I mean is, what is it you are fixing? I see hints of XML files being corrupt. Any idea how or why these issues are occuring? And how you go about finding the problem and fixing it?

I can do the basic "change the proj file to be opened in a different version of Premiere" but this seems a lot more in depth. Color me intriuged, I greatly respect your knowledge and would enjoy even a hint at the direction you take in fixing these files.
