Diagnose and repair a Premiere Pro project

Detects duplicate clip IDs, orphan references, offline media, missing plugins and mixed video formats that crash Premiere Pro 2025+ — especially when moving media. Everything stays local in your browser. Enabled by default: the error-level detectors, orphan references, remembered marker deletions and object masks — open « Enabled detectors » to add the other warnings and infos.

Enabled detectors

Pick which checks to run. Turning off the heavy passes (references, plugins) speeds up analysis on very large projects.

Premiere rejects the project, crashes or loses data.
Premiere opens the project, but something may go wrong.
Nothing urgent: ways to lighten the project or know it better.

Limits & precautions

• Always work on a copy — the tool never overwrites your original, but Premiere can still reject a partially repaired file. • Maximum size: 400 MB compressed (~800 MB decompressed XML). Above that, the file is cleanly refused (no DOM is built). • Large projects are analysed directly in the tab: browsers provide no background XML parser. The tab may freeze for a few seconds; every feature remains available. • No file leaves your browser.

Large-project tip (> 200 MB): close other memory-hungry tabs, keep the downloaded backup handy, and prefer recent Chrome or Edge (≥ 4 GB free RAM recommended).
