How to open PPJ file?

The main problem with Premiere 6 Project Format is that the PPJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PPJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPJ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe Premiere Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Premiere Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Premiere Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PPJ with Adobe Premiere Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file PPJ.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Premiere Pro with PPJ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PPJ file to open in the Adobe Premiere Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PPJ file with the Adobe Premiere Pro program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Premiere Pro to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Premiere Pro program, it is possible that Premiere 6 Project Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPJ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPJ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PPJ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PPJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PPJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPJ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PPJ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PPJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PPJ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
