Project contained a sequence that could not be opened

Hi. I'm new to Premiere Pro. Was simply going through the start-up tutorial when I got this message.

Please could any Adobe staff assist with 2022 guidence to resolve the issue.

My Premiere does not want to open?

Thanks, tried the 1st step, didn't work, tried the 2nd step and nothing
happened when I held down the "option" and "shift" key, no welcome screen
came up.

Open the sequence settings and check the preview codec.

Where do I go to do that and what do I need to change when I get to the preview codec?

I'm new to Premier Pro, please can you elaborate on the steps. Thanks.

I really suggest that you find some tutorials on learning Premiere.  Linkedin has some great comprehensive sets of tutorials.  You need to "subscribe" to Linkedin to access them, but there's usually a free month of access available.  There are also resources on the adobe site and a ton of stuff on youtube although your milage may vary on youtube...

With either the timeline active, or selected in the project, o to the sequence menu and look at sequence settings.   This stuff can get compilcated, and people here will be happy to help particularly if you've done "due diligence" with some basic research.  Just googling questions will often help you find the answer and a lot quicker than waiting for someone on this forum to answer...  I spent about 5 years teaching avid editing (both beginner and advanced) at a college in NYC.  I tried (not sure if I was ever that successful) to teach my students how to find the answers to their questions themselves...  I wasn't gonna be around on call 24/7 if they ran in to a problem..
