    Do you have a reasonably current back up of the file ?

    Sounds like your project has become corrupted, it can happen from time to time and it sucks of course. Hopefully you have a pretty recent saved version (you do use "save as" as one should to save copies I hope).

    These are your options:

    • Load an older saved copy / an older working version of your project and remake stuff from there

    or

    • It may be a specific actor (actors are stored in separate xml-files) that cause the issue. Open your project folder for your corrupted project, list your xml-files by modify date. Replace the latest modified xml-file with the same xml-file from an older saved copy of your working project. Try to open your project. You may need to repeat the process for other xml-files and you may need to remake some stuff.

    or

    • Manually edit the latest modified xml-file(s) for your project and try to locate and fix the issue

    or

    • Restore the most recent backup via e.g. Time Machine (if you use such a backup software and have it setup to constantly backup)

    A good idea might be to take a look at what's printed to the console. Launch the mac console app and then open the project in GS. It can help finding out what xml file is corrupted.
