After Effects Layers missing and unable to play the preview

Question

I was editing in 3d layers (some) and after completing my edit I realized my composition was 3 min long where my video was 1 min long. So I decided to change the time but mistakely I made 1 sec instead on 1 min, and again I corrected it to 1 min and all of a sudden my layers gone missing and I am unable to play the preview of the video I edited. please check out the video I provided. I need to submit my work tomorrow.

After Effects saves a back-up copy of your project every so often. It's a preference for how long you can set in Settings/Preferences.

I would try opening the latest one.

It should be stored in a folder called After Effects Auto Save (or something like that) and it should be in the same folder as your project.
