I have a big VR project, probably 6 TB of media involved, that I am unable to open -- it seems to hang at "LOCATING MEDIA" after getting through about 2/3 along the blue bar. I've left it there for a few hours and it doesn't seem to go beyond that.
The last time I was able to edit the original thing was in December 2017, and I'm not sure what version I was at at that point, but I have a feeling I updated my version at some point and that may have confused things.
Would really appreciate your help and guidance on this.
sounds like you learned the hard way about NEVER updating your NLE in the middle of a project.
Look through your autosaves. Try to open some of them. Do this with just ONE project open AT A TIME. See if they work. If one does, you may be able to also open your most recent project, and just copy your main sequence over.
You also might need to go download and install an older version of Premiere.
You can KIND OF bring a new sequence into an old project, if you export to XML or something.
also you can try this: copy half of your main sequence into a new sequence. Take just that sequence into a new .prproj. Only some of your media files will be linked.
Do the same with the second half.
See if either of them is able to load all the media.
I should try the "half sequence" approach by trying to import the project into a new project? Because I still hang on "locating media" and so I can't even get into the project main even with all of the media unlinked --
