Hey!

 

I just got Premiere Pro and have been pouring my heart and soul into a video I'm making! I recorded a voiceover file and imported it into Premiere!

 

I have been cutting, refining, and editing it and have a full three minutes! However, when cleaning my computer I accidentally deleted the source file from the computer! I went back into Premiere and it was showing the full audio file as blank! 

 

I realized my mistake and IMMEDIATELY and ran to the trash bin where I quickly recovered the source file! I expected the audio to immediately fix itself, like it had in Power Director when I'd encountered a similar issue, however it has remained blank. 

 

I do not know what to do, I don't want to re-do everything! Any and all advice would be so appreciated! 

 

Thanks!!!!

Nevermind, fixed! I right clicked th missing source audio file from the project manager, hit replace footage, and replaced it with the restored audio!!!! It kept all the cuts and volume changes!!!!
