LOSS OF PROJECT

Hello, i'm Elena. I use Premiere Pro but today, after a month of not using it, I reopened it and all my projects were gone. I tried to look for them but they can't be found, I had saved them all but I don't understand what to do.

Could it be that your projects were located on an external/network drive that is now either not connected to your system, or uses a different drive letter/location?

Please check the default location where projects are saved by starting a new project.

 

PPro will default to the last location you saved your last project. That should give you a clue where your old projects are stored. I always have my Autosave projects stored in the same location as my project, but by default it is located in the main drive where PPro is installed.

Hi Elena,

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your project. To help you recover it, can you let me know where you've already looked for the project file? Sometimes projects don't appear in the Recent Projects list, but they can still be found on your hard drive or in the Auto-Save folder.

Please check these locations and let me know if you still can't find your project.

Cheers,
Paul

Can you search your computer for files with the extension .prproj?
