35. Re: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened".

My solution:
1- Create a NEW PROJECT and save it in the same folder you have your project wit
h the problem (DO NOT OVERWRITE your original file, save it with a different na
me you will need to import it in the end).
NOW here is the TRICK --- >
2- Create a NEW SEQUENCE
2.1- Click on ANY of the presets you like
2.2- Now click on the tab SETTINGS
2.3- In the 1st option = Editing Mode -- > CHANGE it to --- > CUSTOM (DO NOT US
E ANY of the Adobe presets)
2.4- Set the other parameters as you like
2.5- In VIDEO PREVIEW (for PC) I use Microsoft AVI -- > dv24p advanced
MAC proba
bly use QuickTime.
2.6- ****** CLICK -- > SAVE PRESET -- > use any name you like.
2.7- SELECT your new custom preset and double click on it.
3- IMPORT the original file using the option -- > IMPORT SELECT SEQUENCE --> Se
lect ONLY the editing sequence
3.1- now double click the IMPORT sequence.
3.2- click on the timeline, select all your project (ctrl+a) and copy it (ctrl+c
)
3.3- double click the NEW sequence
3.4- the new sequence should be EMPTY (no video/audios). Now paste it (ctrl+v)
3.4- DELETE the old sequence you imported (JUST the old imported sequence, keep
all the linked files)
4- Save it
It worked for all my files in Premiere Pro CS6 and I also tried on Premiere Pro
CC and all opened perfectly
