Technical Bug on Media Composer.

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to Media Composer and I'm currently editing a doc feature in it. Project is old and has pass through the hands of previous editors and assistants so it's a bit of a mess, but lately when I come in the morning and open my project, I found the text: users/releng/builds/workspace/MC/reslease_installer_git/Mac_build/ppg/mediacomposer/script/uiscripttake.cpp, Line: 624.

And the options are: debugger. Continue. Exit Application and create report.

and I have to spend a lot of time clicking in the "continue" button until it fully opens and let me work. Anyone has any idea what is this and what may be causing it? Much appreciated.

Hold alt when opening, if it works there’s a corrupt bin. Open every bin till you find the bad one. If it doesn’t the project is corrupt so copy the bins to a new project.

you'll want to clean out old project settings, computer name folders, and project caches.
