Hello! I was editing this video for a school project but it had troubles responding so I just closed it but then when i opened it again, the original video files miraculously disappeared and it wasn't even in the trash bin. I looked everywhere but it was gone. I saved it on a SD card but it disappeared. :((
please help

Are you saying when you opened your Premiere project, video clips that you imported were not showing? If so, were these videos on the SD card? As Ann Bens said, make sure all content is saved to a local hard drive rather than on a SD card. 

If your project opens OK but asks for the location of your videos that were part of the poject, it means it can't find the content there is a way to relink them.

Provide more details to what has occurd and more advice can be provided to help your situation.

Check your SD card if the files are still there but

most likely, everything is gone. You do not use a SD card to edit or save or whatever....

Workflow is to copy files from SD card to hard drive. Then import the files from your hard drive into Premiere.

After editing a project, you save the project to your hard drive.
