Troubles Opening PPJ Files
Missing Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Double-clicking your PPJ file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open PPJ File". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Premiere Pro CC for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your PPJ file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Incorrect Adobe Premiere Pro CC Version
Sometimes your installed version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC won't support your Premiere 6 Project File file. Installing the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC from Adobe Systems Incorporated is recommended. Your Premiere 6 Project File file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe Premiere Pro CC than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: If you right-click on your PPJ file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right Adobe Premiere Pro CC version on your computer can cause problems opening PPJ files.
