An Unknown error occurred while opening the project

[#1]

Hello all, hoping someone has a solution as Google has finally failed me.

I've recently hit a problem with Premiere and the above error, which not only occurs on my current file, but also on all of the autosaves. Do anyone know any solutions to this, as all existing ones seem to point towards the autosaves?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hello Mohsen_Aghaei,

Thank you for helping so many people on the adobe forums.  I keep receiving a strange message (see attached screenshot)every time I try and open my project.  I am adding a screenshot.  We have spent hours on this project and would appreciate any guidance.  You definitely seem like a hero on the forums.  Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I also encountered this problem. Worked in a project, put the transition and premiere hung and then disconnected. The program was not prompted to open the last not saved version. Unfortunately, the main project file does not work, as well as all autosaves of the current version. I will be very grateful if you can help me solve my problem. I also duplicated your email chooriy@gmail.com. Thanks. Windows 10. Premiere Pro 2020.   PROJECT FILE

Hi Mohsenagha - I just emailed you a copy of a project file that just started reporting this error when opening this morning. 

If you can help out, I would greatly appreciate it!  And if it's a pretty user-friendly process, maybe share your work-around w/ the rest of us here?

Many thanks!!
