Hello! Currently I am trying to open up my premier pro projects. I am able to open the app on my iMac, but when I go to open a project, it will attempt to open, then it wont respond. I've reset my computer and restarted premiere a few times now. I'm unsure what to do next.

    Create a brand new project and import the old project into the new one via File > Import.

     

    Have patience, large projects take som time to import and one can get the impression that everything has freezed.

      Anyone reading this - this isn't the actual correct solution it's a work around. The correct solution at time of writing is to disable Mercury Transmit in your video playback preferences

        Thank you. This worked for me. I am using Windows 10, Premiere Pro version 14.8.0 (Build 39)

         

        I just wanted to add a photo to show where to find this in the preferences. I also had to deselect "Adobe Monitor" before this worked. Make sure nothing is selected. Then hit ok. Then try to open the project.
