Corrupt Project File

PostMon Sep 27, 2021 8:50 pm

Hi,
Ive got a project that opens, and occasionally lets me edit for a few minutes, and then Davinci freezes and shuts down every time. Is there any way to fix this?

One possibility: select (but do not open) the project in the Project Manager, and Export a copy of the file as a DRP on an external drive. Once that's done, Import that project and give it a new name (like Project_Name_Today's_Date), and see if the copy opens and is stable. Sometimes that will work.

I don't run into projects getting corrupted very often, but it's happened 2-3 times in 10 years.
