PRABH Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Hey, i downloaded a project file from my google one drive. it shows an error when i am trying to open the session. "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." please help p.s. - i saved the session as folder.

des99 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) That's likely because you're putting Mac files from the Mac filesystem onto a computer/drive/cloud service that doesn't support the Mac filesystem. You should *always* zip up projects to put them on cloud services that don't support Mac filesystem features (which is most of them.) If someone else sent this project to you, get them to zip it up and re-upload it, and you should be able to download, unzip and load it without problems.

des99 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It might be possible to fix it... can you share the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRABH Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 @des99 thanks for asking man, but cant do that. the project is going out for a bolywood movie so it's confidential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rAC Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 @PRABH I’m pretty sure that @David Nahmani will be not able to do anything except repeat @des99’s suggestions. Looking at your screenshot you might be able to import all the audio, impulse responses, Samples and Sample instruments from the corrupted version of the project which would give you a good start towards recreating it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Make a copy of the project, remove all creative material (MIDI notes, audio files etc...) and share it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangigi Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi, i had a similar problem but my logic project file was like 250 MB. Your file is 5 MB so i don't know if all data is there. Like des99 said, you need to zip your projects before upload them to the cloud. I don't understand much of this but seem like the logic project is compressed somehow. Try open the "corrupt" logic project with an app like the unarchiver or similar. This is how i can save my "corrupts" logic projects.
