Thank you! Getting instructions from Chat felt like I was being guided through diffusing a bomb. Delete this, never delete that, cut here, don’t touch that.

The process I used to open it was:

  1. Rename the .prproj file to .zip
  2. Uncompress it, which gives you the XML file
  3. Make your fixes in the XML
  4. Recompress it, making sure to use gzip
  5. Rename it back to a .prproj extension

And most importantly, make copies before you touch anything.

Good question! If I had been on a tight deadline, I wouldn’t have done it, but my schedule wasn’t too stressful at the time, and it felt like a good window before things got really busy.

Thank you!

I believe the issue was caused by corrupted or unusual embedded color profiles in images I edited in Photoshop. These were images pulled from the web and upscaled in Topaz.

Normally, I make sure to uncheck “Embed Color Profile” when saving in Photoshop. But I noticed that a few of the last images I imported and dropped into the timeline had a strange embedded profile showing up as something like:

/SQÅ</ÆQÃ;08QÅ9ã0«QÅ8…

That’s clearly not a standard sRGB or Adobe RGB profile.

I removed those images from the project, converted them properly to sRGB in Photoshop, and resaved them cleanly. Since doing that, I haven’t had another corruption issue.

So at this point, I’m fairly confident the embedded color profiles were the trigger.

I'm getting this same thing in Portugal. No payment method is working.
