What operating system does Digital Rebellion Pro Maintenance Tools need?

Can Digital Rebellion Pro Maintenance Tools recover footage from corrupt clips?

Digital Rebellion Pro Maintenance Tools includes two tools for corrupt media. Corrupt Clip Finder automatically locates corrupt clips in a project and supports Avid MXF when paired with a third-party plugin such as MXF4Mac. Media Salvage extracts the video and audio data from corrupt movie clips and places it into a new file. Together they help identify and pull data out of damaged footage. See the developer's page for guidance on supported formats and codecs.

Can Digital Rebellion Pro Maintenance Tools open a Premiere project in an older version?

Digital Rebellion Pro Maintenance Tools can downgrade Adobe Premiere projects through Project Repair so they open in earlier versions of Premiere. After downgrading, Premiere reports the project was saved in an earlier version and asks you to save a copy, which then opens in the older release. Any Premiere features not supported in the earlier version will not work there, so keep that in mind. Project Repair also attempts to reopen non-launching Premiere, Final Cut Pro and FCPX projects.
