Question

Everything from Premiere Pro is gone!!!

I've got a university assignment due in 4 days, and all my work is gone?! it's not even just the project that I was working on, all my other projects are gone too as if it's the first time I've used Premiere, and it's just started up. I'm not worried about the other projects, as I had already handed them in, but there is nothing in the 'app', nothing in my files and nothing hanging around my desktop.  I had been working on it for a while as well and had saved my project and been able to come back to it days after, but I don't even have a single auto-save. There are no signs of anything, but when I search on my Macbook finder, I can see the media I used in the project when I search for the project name. I'm really, really stressed and freaked out, and I'm getting a headache haha so if someone could please help me I'd really appreciate it. I've looked through the forums, and Google searched, and nothing seems to work.

This seems like an operating system issue and nothing to do with Premiere.

You need to locate the project files.

Are you using the university computers? Check with the IT if they ran any maintenance, re-installed the operating system, anything like that? If so, I'm afraid you have no way to retrieve your projects.

You can still see the media cause it's probably on a different drive than the operating system, and it seems you were saving your projects on the operating system drive.

Using an external drive?

no, I've just been keeping it on my laptop, but I do know my university gives us OneDrive. I haven't saved it there on purpose, but I can check?
