Edits Completely wrong

I had saved a pre-wedding edit video I shot this summer. Now I went to use the sequence and since then, Premiere Pro has updated. It looks like the update has completely destroyed my timeline. This was about 3 days worth of work. Is there anything I can do to get it back? I hadn't anticipated this and did not perform a full render. 

 

Also, on another project, I was able to locate all my footage that I had moved to another drive except for one clip. I found the clip and brought it into Premiere Pro but it is not automatically going into the timeline. Even when I click on it first from another save when the locate file box comes up, it inserts everything except that one clip. I am only using the sound from that file as the picture is all B-roll. On the timeline, the sound shows diagonal stripes. Premier is not asking me to locate the sound. So how can I get it back in without completely editing all of the sound all over again?

 

Thanks

Rod

Hi Rod,

If the camera used saves video files to a hard drive and you copied that to your computer's hard drive and imported the footage via File > Import, you might try opening that project in the previous version and continue working from there.

 

There was an update/bug fix/feature in how Premiere Pro handles card based media with the new version in that is more forgiving in the way you can import such footage. The issue that I believe might be happening is that those that updated projects with media that was ingested differently might not be respecting some of the metadata. 

 

I think that new projects started in the new version with the same media should have no problem, but this is not an official bug or anything; just some observations I've made over the past month. You can test this out and report back with any results, if you have time.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

    This worked. Will stick with a version from this summer to finish the video. I still can't get the audio to work in the other video. But that is much easier to fix. I would have had hours in this one and would have to basically start from scratch. Thanks.

    Giving us screengrabs of the timeline with an explanation of what's gone wrong would be very helpful.
