Step 2. Create association of Adobe Premiere Pro with PRA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PRA file to open in the Adobe Premiere Pro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 PRA file with the Adobe Premiere Pro program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Premiere Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Premiere Pro with Windows Media 9 Plug-in Profile Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PRA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PRA file. Sometimes virus-infected PRA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PRA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PRA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PRA 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PRA to a different directory.
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. However, some background programs may block the PRA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
