How to open PRMP file?

The main problem with Adobe Premiere Pro Data Format is that the PRMP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PRMP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRMP 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Premiere Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Premiere Pro into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PRMP.

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

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PRMP 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PRMP file with the Adobe Premiere Pro application.

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The fault may also lie with the Adobe Premiere Pro program, it is possible that Adobe Premiere Pro Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 PRMP file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PRMP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PRMP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PRMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PRMP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PRMP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PRMP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PRMP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PRMP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRMP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
