Hi all,

Having this issue where sometimes my project file gets greyed out in Finder. After about 4/5 times of manually clicking 'Save' in the File menu it eventually saves normally. There have been instances where I completely forgot about it. Went to click Save and Close and was unable to open the project again, totally losing my work.

Does anyone know what this can be casued by? I'm saving and working off of an external Lacie SSD with plenty of storage left.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi philf3991878,

What's the error that you get when you try to open the project? Also, are you able to to import the project file in a new project? Check if the Auto Save projects are working.

We're here to help, just need more info.

Thanks,

Nishu

I forgot to add I'm on a mac, Venrura 13.5.2

Well this is interesting, I can't copy the grayed-out file in Finder, but I CAN copy it using terminal and the cp comand...and the resulting file opens fine in Premiere. AND the file doesn't seem to be graying out whenever I save. However, that this happened in the first place, Adobe should probably check it out. And it might happen again?

Hey Phil – does this happen only when you're saving it for the first time? Does it happen with .prproj that is saved on your actual computer? Haven't seen this one before, hopefully these questions can get us closer to finding an answer.

Happy to help!
