I have been working on a major project for several months and now cannot open this project or any of the auto-save versions, not even a "save a copy" version. Other projects open fine. When I attempt to open any version of this project, the status bar freezes about 10% along and I am forced to eventually hit cancel.
I worked on this project all day without any issues, then quit Premiere for a short while and have not been able to open the project since. The only abnormality has been that when auto-saving, it has been taking longer than usual to finish saving.
I've done multiple restarts and opened several other projects in Premiere. No warnings or error messages, just freezing up while opening.
Working on Mac, no changes to equipment recently.
