I have read posts about this problem already and the solutions proposed so far seem to do with changing or erasing cache files, fiddling with Premiere Pro, etc. Frankly, I don't understand any of that!! Can someone suggest
something more direct? What happens is that when I try to open old (about 2 months old) Encore projects, they hang at between 7 and 13 %. It is happening with 5 different projects that all worked fine in November. They are on two different hard drives, and in separate folders. Thanks for the help.
Some of the suggestions are general and may apply to multple projects, and to causes that could affect multiple projects/drives. For example, the "run as administrator" method.
Can you create a new project? Can you save, exit Encore, and reopen it?
