File type: Various data file
A PRDG file is a project file created by Elastic Reality, a warping and morphing application from Avid Technology.
It stores the project data needed to continue editing an Elastic Reality composition rather than a finished rendered video or image.

Elastic Reality was a warping and morphing application developed and distributed by Avid Technology. It was used to create visual effects by deforming images and producing morphing transitions.
The PRDG file extension identifies an Elastic Reality project. The file contains the application's project information, including the editing work and settings required to reopen the composition in Elastic Reality. It belongs to the application's project workflow and is not intended as a general-purpose media format.
Elastic Reality has been discontinued, so the PRDG format is no longer in active use and may be difficult to open on modern systems.
Open a PRDG file with the original Elastic Reality software on a compatible legacy system. Because Elastic Reality is discontinued, modern applications generally do not provide direct support for this file type.
If the file does not open, an installation of the original software and its associated project media may be required.
If the file can be opened in Elastic Reality, use that application to render or export the project to a standard video or image format.
Without access to Elastic Reality and any media referenced by the project, the PRDG file cannot usually be converted meaningfully.
