Everything deleted after power outage

Question

I had saved the file i was working on literally minutes before my power went out and then i opened after effects when it came back and not only is that file gone but every other file is gone and this animate composition page shows up but usually it's just a list of my comps, it's no where in my file explorer either, does anyone know what to do?

everything i've ever worked on is gone

Sorry to hear that. That's not ideal. The list of the projects that you see when you open After Effects only shows the recent projects that you've worked on. You can reset the list, but it should not affect any of your project files. Have you tried looking for the Auto Safe folders? The Auto Save folder is created at the same location where you saved your project file. Are you on macOS or Windows?

Let us know. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions.

Thanks,
