How to open PSQ file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Premiere Storyboards is that a specific PSQ is not associated with the program. This causes the file PSQ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSQ 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PSQ files.

Programs to open PSQ file

Remember to download programs supporting PSQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

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

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PSQ 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSQ file with the Adobe Premiere Pro application.

Step 3. Update Adobe Premiere Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Premiere Pro program with the Adobe Premiere Storyboards file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 PSQ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The PSQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PSQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PSQ file. Sometimes virus-infected PSQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PSQ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PSQ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PSQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PSQ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
